very large attendance of promS nent
business men from all parts of the
state. The official call, which explains
the objects of the congress, signed by
the Board of Trade. Business Men s
League, Retail Merchants Association
and Merchants Freight Bureau, is as
follows:
To the Land Owners. Business and Pro
fessional Men of Arkansas
The recent land exposition at Chi
cago, attended, as it was, by hundreds
of thousands of people from all parts
of the United States, demonstrated sew
eral facts of interest to the people of
Arkansas, not the least of which were
First-The people are land hungry.
They are leaving cities in search dN
homes in the rural districts, where they
can. out of the soil, make that living
to which they are entitled, and which
the high cost Of the articles they con.
sumo in the cities prevents them from
doing. We have the land.
Second-The desert lands of the west,
which are not susceptible of cultiva-
tion except by irrigation. are drawing
the most desirable class of immigrants.
This is due to the fact that the adj
vantages of these lands, as developed
by irrigation, are advertized throughout
the entire country and in every land
across the sea
Third-It is impossible under present
conditions for the masses of the people
to secure information about Arkansas
except in a comparatively limited way,
as there are but few railroads advertis.
ing the resources of the state, and our
local commercial organizations are prac-
tieally swamped and buried under an
avalanche of inquiries,
Fourth-The new year now at hand is
the time to take advantage of ouI
golden opportunity. Let us organize
to answer the demand for information
about Arkansas. Let us all get to-
gether for that purpose and perfect an
organization statewide in character and
usefulness that will represent
every county and section of Arkansas
Let us boost our great common
wealth. Let us give the true story Of
Arkansas to the world and invite in
quiring capital and immigration.
Fifth-Believing that the people of
the entire state are in accord with this
movement, it is therefore
Resolved, That the commercial or
ganizations of Little Rock. for the gen.
eral good of all classes of our people,
call state convention of land owners,
business and professional men to meet
at II o clock, noon, in the city of Little
Rock, at the house of representatives
in the state capitol, on Wednesday
March %, 1910. and said convention
continue during the cath and 25th.
Resolved, That the county Judges
mayors and commercial organizations
be requested to appoint delegates to
said convention at the earliest possible
| date, and that said appointments be at
once reported to Judge f. b. Ratteree
chairman of the executive committee
at Little Rock, by whom they will be
! tabulated and who will make the pre-
| liminary arrangements.
Resolved, That the executive com
mittee will prepare the tentative pro
gram to be submitted at the first session
of the convention, after which the af
! fairs of the convention will be unde
the control of the delegates

Will Call Grand Jury.

Kirksville, Missouri-That enough
stryehnine was found in the organs
of Professor John Thomas Vaughan
to kill two or more men is the
authoritative report which reached
Kirksville Tuesday from Paris, Mo
Prosecuting Attorney Rieger is de-
batting whether he shall impanel
special grand jury or shall issue a
warrant on his own authority. 1t is
said he probably will call grand
jury.
DIR. Fred Schdeitzer of the Univer-
sity of Missouri, who made the toxi.
cological examination of Prof.
Vaughn's organs. sent a written but
not sworn report of his findings both
to Prosecuting Attorney Rieger here
and to Coroner Wilson at Paris.
From Rieger no hint could be OBJ
tanned as to the nature of the report,
but the fact that he maintain ed such
silence regarding it was construed as
meaning that poison had been found.
The report which went to Paris was
inspected by several lawyers retained
in the case, and from one of them it
was learned that more than a grain
of strychnine was found in the stom-
ach and liver. the only organs thus
far tested quantitatiyely.
Fatal Dose Was Large.
II this is true it indicates that Prof.
Vaughn swallowed a huge dose of the
drug Strychnine is a vegetable poi
son. and is readily eliminated from
| the system before and after death
| That so much should remain in the
organs five months after death indi-
| Gates that the original dose was of
remarkable proportions, physicians
| here say The usual medicinal dose
is one-fiftieth of grain.
The theory that Prof. Vaughn com
mitted suicide has been abandoned by
| those in charge OF the investigation,
| and the grand jury inquiry, If one is
| undertaken, will be with a view to an
| Indictment for murder.
The advantage of mpaneling a
! grand jury, those familiar with the
case say. is that if more than one per-
son is involved III :he death, they
can be jointly indicted.
No Arrest at Once.
The report that DR.. Schweitzers re-
port was not in the form of an aft
davit is taken here TO mean that the
analysis has not been completed. It
Will not be necessary. it is said, to
finish it before going before a grand
jury, But it will be necessary. if a
grand jury is impaneed. to have
Schweitzer's testimony It is there
fore not likely that there will be an
arrest for at least a day or two, it
! is said

Each candidate spoke for about two

The new features developed in the ma
ture of questions asked by the two can

other and questions put and answered
Although the speaking WAS spirited,
there was no bitterness of mud sling
ing and before the candidates spoke
they ehatted together with X. s War
mock, representative of Columbia eoun-
ty, chairman of the meeting, on the
platform. Both speakers were intro
duced by Mr.. Warnock.
