FERTILIZER FIGHT
 IS NOT YET OVER
LOBE MAKES STATEMENT
SAYS INSPECTION WAS WITH OUT APPROPRIATION IN
 1909; WHY NOT NOW?

Little Rock, March 7.-Contrary to statements which have been made in local papers, action will be taken over the state relative to the sale of fertil- izers which do not bear the tag show ing inspection. Other officials of the Farmers Union than Secretary M. F. Dickinson, who started the investi- gation, state that they will demand a thorough investigation in every dis trict, and all who are found guilty must be punished. Steps are now be- ing taken to place the matter before all the prosecuting attorneys in such manner that the public will be ad- vised as to the amount which has been paid for tags and inspections, and by whom paid, as well as the amount of fertilizer which has been sold without tags.
 The first movement in this direction was started by Secretary M. F. Dick inson of the Farmers Union, who took the matter up with Prosecuting Attor- ney Clark of Conway, and also with Attorney General H. L. Norwood, who informed him it was a matter for the prosecuting attorneys.
 This fertilizer matter has been creeping up in the state house for the past year or so, and the last legisla- ture declined to make an investigation, but did pass an act amending former acts, which makes it the duty of the fertilizer manufacturers, giving trip licate receipts. One of these receipts, presented to the commissioner of agri- culture, is to be demand for tags 1; one is to be kept by the treasurer and the other filed with the state auditor as check against the treasurer.
 Since this amendment the fertilizer companies have continued to pay to Commissioner Tucker, and up to this morning a total of $1 ,828.75 had been paid into the treasury to the credit of the fund, from the time the first fer tilizer bill was passed. Of this, S353.75 was paid in 1907, S125 in 1908; $437.50 in 1909, and S962.50 on January 10, 1910.
 Commissioner Tucker states he has on hand about s1,400 in addition to this in checks which have been sent to him by fertilizer manufacturers, which are uncashed and just as they were when received. He says there will be no suits filed, at least against
The log cabin Democrat., 1910-03-07

the companies which have made appli- cation to him, and sent money to pay for the tags. He says there is no ap- propriation out of which he can pay for the tags, nor for an inspection He claims to have been informed by Auditor lobe he would not honor a voucher drawn on the fund for this reason.
 Speaking on this subject, Auditor lobe yesterday said: "The fertilizer inspection matter is today in the same fix it was last year, and Commissioner Tucker then paid for an inspection and for the tags. Between October 22, 1907, and March 17, 1908, vouch- CTS on the fertilizer fund for $41S.60 "' re presented and honored. Then tho Alexander decision on the state capitol appropriation was rendered, and under it no funds could be dis bursed without a specific appropra- tion, for which reason, suppose, the vouchers on the fertilizer fund were no longer presented to me. I under stand the inspection continued and the issuance of tags, the expenses be- ing paid out of the proceeds. With the conditions practically the same, it seems as though the same thing could be done this year.
 ''I understand Commissioner Tucker has stated that he asked me to honor a voucher drawn on this fund and refused. He is correct in that, or par tially so. The request was made in the office of Attorney General Norwood after the letter from M. F. Dickinson, secretary of the Farmers Union, had been received by him. That was only about week ago. If he wanted to find out about this, it seems to me that he would have asked me last November, when the fertilizer season first opened. Under the amended acts of the legislature it is the duty of the treasurer to collect the fertilizer fund, though Commissioner Tucker says the money he has was paid to him as agent"
 The agitation which has been started is not aimed at Commissioner Tucker, but is being urged by the men who use fertilizer to see the law en- forced, and if the law is not what it should be, have the next legislature correct it.

DIR. BROWNS FUNERAL
 ATTENDED BY MANY
LODGES AND FRIENDS PAY LAST RESPECTS TO DE-
 CEASED PHYSICIAN.

Probably the largest number of persons ever gathered at funeral in Conway assembled at 3 o'clock yester- day afternoon to attend the last sad rites of Dr. J. Frederick Brown, whose death occurred at his home on Locust avenue Saturday afternoon. The Ma sonic, Woodmen of the World and Woodmen Circle fraternities attended in body, while scores of other friends of the family were present. Religious services were conducted at the resi- dence by Rev. F. D. Baars, after which the procession to Oak Grove cemetery was formed and the body was there inferred with Masonic and Woodmen honors.
 Dr. Brown was born near Barney in the northern part of this county. De- tober 25, 1870. He was graduated from the University of Arkansas medical department at the age of Fl a,t al once began the practice Of his pro fession at Enola, where he resided un- til 1906, when he removed to Conway. Hero he was regarded as one of this city's leading physicians and his integ- rity, courtesy and gentlemanly con- duct, as well as his professional abil- ity, won for him many friends.
 In 1893 he was married to Miss Dol lie Phillips, who, with three sons, Car los, Russell and Frederick. aged 15, II and 4, respectively, survives him. He is also survived by his father, G.. w.

GOVERNOR GOES TO
 NORTH ARKANSAS
OPPOSITION ISDWINDLINC
VOTERS CANNOT SWALLOW NEW SPEECH PREPARED
 FOR KAVANAUGH.

Little Rock, March 7.-Getting the affairs of state in such shape that he could leave them again, Governor G. W. Donaghey this morning left for Walnut Ridge, where he will speak this afternoon and then hit for the inland towns of the northern part of the state for full week in the bushes. Governor Donaghey left alone, with out a following of satellites to scatter literature of a questionable character about at the places he speaks, as is being done by the other candidate. He was not even accompanied by c. C. Kavanaugh, though Governor Dona- ghey saw that he was personally serv- ed with an invitation to meet him. Kavanaugh has dates in other parts before he made them to divide time with Governor Donaghey, and in spite of the fact he said he would cancel dates to meet Governor Donaghey.
 Kavanaugh does not seem to be do- ing any better with his new speech, with affidavits from men who acknowl- edge they took part in boodling schemes, upon which his Little Rock packers worked so hard and called in the candidate to spend three days at home drilling how to say it. The charges are too rank to be taken even with grain of salt. The average voter of the state could not take them in capsule without feeling a shock.
 It is freely predicted that Don aghey will get at least 10000 votes in the coming primaries. The opposi- tion will get the balance, which ranges from 10000 to 20,000, according to who is giving the estimates. There is one thing about the charges which kavanaugh makes which makes it inn possible for him to pull the wool over the eyes of the voter-the men who make the charges were formerly in the Donaghey camp and were refused what they asked after his election, and are now in the Kavanaugh head quarters.

ONE OF DEAYERS'
 SLAYERS CAUGHT
GEORGE CHAPMAN, ARRESTED IN ARGENTA, CONFESS
 ES TO CRIME.

Little Rock, March 7.-Confessing that he is one of the two negroes who last Thursday shot down and fatally wounded c. M. Beavers, a farmer, who lived near Menifee, but declaring that his companion shot Beavers, George Chapman, negro, who was caught in Argenta Saturday, was taken to Plumerville last night by Sheriff Tom Hervey of Morrilton. Chapman an- swered the description of the smaller of the two negroes who shot Beavers and was arrested because of his like ness. He was arrested by Deputy Con- stable Brown on East Washington av- enue in Argenta. The negro confess ed that he was one of the two negroes who attacked Beavers, but declared that he had nothing to do with the shooting. His companion, large ne- gro, has not been located.
 Will Jackson, another negro who was arrested at Plumerville and held in connection with the shooting, was released yesterday The fact that he was working at Gleason on the day of the shooting was established.
 Beavers was farmer living about three miles from Menifee. On last Thursday morning he was hurrying toward Menifee where he expected to catch train when he met two negroes on the road. All three were walking. Beavers asked them if they had heard the train go through. Without eX- planarlon one ot the negroes seized him and commanded the other to shoot.
 The negro who issued the command was large. His companion short negro, failed to act as quickly as the other des red and so the large negro shot. The charge passed through I ea- vers' hpfs, just above tn, heart. He lived u.fil Saturday morning at 10:30
