NEWS OF DEPARTURE OF ZElAYA
FROM CAPITAL CITY REACHES
OFFICIAL CIRCLES.

l. Washington. Dec. 25.-News of the
flight of President Zelaya from CO.
rinto was received in official circles
with varying emotions. While the
state department undoubtedly would
have appreciated the capture of Zelaya
and his arraignment on the charge of
numbering the two Americans. Groce
and Cannon. there is, in other quar-
ters. n distinct sense Of relief in the
passing of the Nicaraguan dictator
from the scene.
Had this government been deter
mined to stand by the demands made
in the note sent by Secretary Knox To
Rodriguez. charge d'affaires of the
Nicaraguan legation here, it is
acknowledged the escape of Zelaya
could readily have been prevented.
That no efforts were made to block
his flight is accepted as an indication
that the position originally taken by
the secretary of state was not alto

aboard. No protest ever was made over

CENSUS GINNING
 REPORT BULL|SH

According to the census ginning re- port issued at Washington at II o'clock this morning, 5,525,000 bales of cotton were ginned in the United States up to October IS, as compared with 6,283, TOO last year, 4,420, ,25S two years ago and 4,931 ,621 to the same date in 1906. The report was consid- cred somewhat bullish, the market ad- vancing 20 points on the publication of the report.
 Up to October IS, SAY bales had been ginned in Faulkner coutny this season. Reports from over the county indicate the bulk of the crop has been gathered, cattle having been turned into many of the cotton fields. It is thought that the total ginning in the county will not greatly exceed 12,000 bales, which would be the lowest since the government bureau has been gath ering the ginning statistics.
 Considerable cotton is being mark eted here today, the average price be- ing 1924 cents.

 Jones came to him and stated that
 Dorman was threatening to kill him,
 and asked that Dorman be placed un- der a peace bond, but no action was

 and that Dorman fired two shots at Jones before Jones fired. Josh Wood son tesified that Jones fired the first shot, and Deputy Sheriff Johnson and several others testified that the four shots were fired in rapid succession. After the coroners jury had exon

 DAVENPORT A STAR.
 For Conway, Left Tackle Daven- port was nearly the whole show. Clad in a green sweater, which formed a striking contrast to his flaming hair, the slender little tackle made a spec tacular figure as time after time he slipped through the college line and broke up play after play. He went through and blocked one of Smith '6s punts and again blocked an attempted forward pass by Paulett. On several occasions he broke through and tackled the college quarterback behind the line before he could pass the ball. His work completely eclipsed the rest of the team. Capt. Harton's bunting was very weak and this gave the col lege an immense advantage.
 Three of Conway's regulars, Moss, Clayton and Wilson, were out of the game on account of various reasons.

DIR. CODBEY BREACHES
STRONG SERMON DELIVERED AT METHODIST CHURCH
 YESTERDAY MORNING.

pr. J. E. Godbey, professor of phil osophy in Hendrix college, preached at the Methodist church yesterday morning to a large and interested au- | dience. The text was:
 "Therefore, having the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go out unto perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, of faith in God, of baptism and laying on of hands, of resurrection from the dead and eternal judgment" "
 The speaker introduced by saying Honesty is the highest possible at tainment; that man should seek al ways to know what is right, and al ways be true i'll action to his convlc- tions. The foundations of a great character are clear convictions of truth and duty. He said the oldest formular of doctrine known to the Christian church is the Apostles Creed. Just when or how it came into use is not known, but Francis, who wrote in the second century, refers to it, so it was in use in his time. The tradition that it came from the apos- ties cannot be proven or refuted. 1t is held by Catholics and Protestants alike.
 The nearest approach to a distinct formulary, found in the New Testa- ment, is the text, in which the author of Holrends refers to certain doe trines as first principles and founda- tions.
 Noticing briefly the doctrines re- ferred to in the text, the preacher turned his discourse to the charge Let us go on unto perfection He aid there is no definite attainment which we call perfection, and no ex-
 amples of perfection in any sphere

JOHN DORIAN
 FATALLY SHOT KILLED BY JOHN JONES DIFFICULTY HAPPENED SAT URDAY NIGHT-BOTH ARE
 NEGROES.

John F. Dorman, well-known ne- gro of Conway, was shot and killed on Saturday night at about 7:30 o'clock by John Jones, also colored, in the street near Suggs' grocery store, in the eastern part of Conway. Two shots were fired by Jones, but only one took effect, striking Dorman in the left arm. and then penetrating his body to the left of his left breast and ranging through his body. Dorman lived only few minutes after the shooting, and fired two shots at Jones' all four of the shots being in rapid succession.
 When Dorman was reached by the officers he had a 3S-caliber Smith X Wesson pistol in his right hand, and two chambers of it had been fired. Inn mediately after the killing John Jones surrendered to the officers, stating that he had killed Dorman, but that he did it because Dorman was trying to kill him.
 Coroner J. H. Pence empaneled a jury and held an inquest over the re- mains of Dorman Sunday morning and the jury heard the testimony of a number of witnesses, two of them be- ing eye-witnesses to the tragedy. The jury dehberated only few moments and returned a verdict finding that the killing was done by Jones, but that it was justifable. From the testi- mony adduced before the coroner's jury it appeared that there had been bad blood between Dorman and Jones for some time, on account of Jones
