into JAIL
Young Man Asked to Go
To Jail Wants
$0 Back

To most people Che city or county
Jail is about the last place they would
ask the privilege Of occupying. yet
there was at the police headquarters
today the strange spectacle of a young
man well clothed and seemingly in
tslligent, demanding, after others had
paid his fine. that he be given the
money and then lay tho fine out in
Jail
The case was the result OF the young
man in question driving over the street
scraper equipment with an automo-
bile; the young man was arrested and
fined IS and cost-$S; his employer
paid the fine, taking the amount out
OF the young mans wages and now,
after the fine is paid the young man
appears and asks to be given the ss
and himself go to jail
To the odd request, Chief Doss re-
piled that jails were made for people
who did not want to go there and not
for those who wanted to get in.
When questioned as to why he pre-
ferred to go to Jail the young man said
he had no money to leave town on
as he had been fired from his Job; but
to this the chief replied that he could
walk Then he said his shoes were
in poor repair for walking and to this
the chief replied that he himself had
gone barefoot until he was as Old or
oIder than this young man. And the
speedy autoist disappeared.
The young man was about 8 years
old and in bunch oi dudes might

select aggregation.

a storekeeper of FL Reno. in 1907 Rea
pleaded the runwritten law" charging
the deceased with having been init
mate with his wife whom he had de-
serted and neglected TO support Judge
Furman sweeps aside the error com
planned Of by Rea's attorneys mat in
competent evidence was submitted by
holding THAT although the evidence
may be improperly admitted against
the defendant on account Of which a
conviction should be reversed. yet if
the defendant takes the stand, and tes-
titles to the same thing. the error in
the other testimony will become harm
less"
Judge owen dismissed the writ Of
habeas corpus application Of Joseph
Inskey, for whom Governor Haskell
some time ago honored a requisition
from the governor Of Missouri
Judge r. III. Doyle in an opinion al
lows the writs of habeas corpus ap-
piled for BY George l.. Ellis and Henry

FORT SMITH GETS
 NEXT CONVENTION

 The attendance throughout bot h morning and afternoon ses. sions were declared larger than ever noted before within the his tory of the order in this state. Of the 5000 delegates ana friends wearing the colors of the order, but very few could be seen on the streets during the hours of session of the Odd Eel lows or the Rebekahs.
 Grand Lodge officers were el- ected as follows:
 Louis Joseph, Texarkana, grand master; M. M. Stucky, Newport, deputy grand master; c. W. Pardee, Little Rock, grand warden; John H. Paul, re elect ed, Newport, grand secretary; J. B. Baker, Melbourne, re-elect- ed, grand treasurer; George T. Humphries, Salem, grand re- presentative to the Sovereign Grand Lodge.
 The morning hours of the con- vention were devoted largely to a parade and the welcoming of the orders. Mayor H. M. Jodd and Superintendent Harry H. Meyers, of the Hot Springs re servation made the addresses of welcome, each rendering hearty cordialities to the Odd Fellows and their associates.
 Former State Senator Thomas B. Milan, former grand master of the order also participated in the welcoming. Mrs. Glen B. Parker, of Paragould, read an excellent paper of the relation of the Rebekahs to the Odd Eel lows organization.
 The very important matter of deciding on the location for the permanent temple for the Odd Fellows in this state was empha- sized today when delegates from Little Rock and Fort Smith re- inforced the forces already here campaigning for their respective cities. Hot Springs delegates are also being aided in their cam paign by general community interest in the placing of the fra ternal temple in this city, and the contest will be more strenu- ous than tEat which decided the next years meeting place, and the election of officers.
