WATFRWORKS
PLANS COMPLETE

G.. A. Watkins of the firm of Dick
inson & Watkins of Little Rock, en-
gineers for the local pateraorks dis
trict, came up this morning and is
meet. .ng tlis afternoon with the COM
n.lssioners, gong ovet the revised
plans for the Conway waterworks
system Mr.. Watkins stated that the
engineers estimated cost Of the plant
was such that complete system can
be built within the sum available to
the district for the purpose.
The first plans were drawn for a
steam power plant, but it was decid-
ed, after a conference with the city
council, to use electricity furnished by
the local plant as motive power,
which is expected to effect a great
saving in the cost of operation.
If the plans are adopted, bids for
the construction of the plant will be
advertised for at an early date.

NEGRO WINNER
IN 18TH round
new CHAMPION FIGHTER
JEFFRIES NO MATCH FOR
JOHNSON, WHO HAS FIGHT
ALL HIS WAY.

Reno, July 4.-John Arthur John
son, negro from Texas, the son of a
former American slave. tonight is the
undisputed champion of the world.
James J. Jeffries of California, win
ner of % championship nghts, the
man who never before was brought
to his knees by blow, tonight passed
into history as broken idol. He met
utter defeat at the hands of the black
champion.
While Jeffries was not actually
counted out, he was saved from this
humiliation, friends pleading with
Johnson not to hit the beaten man
again, and the towel was brought in
to the ring from his corner. At the
end of the final round Referee Tex
Rickard raised the black arm and the
great crowd filed out, glum and silent.
Jeffries was dragged to his corner,
bleeding from nose and mouth and a
dozen cuts on his face. He had a
black, closed eye and swollen features
and he held his head in his hands, and
he was dazed and incoherent.
Ring experts agree that it was not
even championship fight.
Jeffries had a chance in the second
round, but after the sixth it was plain
that he weakened and was outclassed
in every point, and after the eleventh
round it was hopeless.
1t was the greatest demonstration
the ring has ever seen of the failure
of fighter 'to come back after
years of retirement
The youth and science of the black
man made Jeffries look like a green
man. The great Jeffries was like a
log. The reviled Johnson was like a
black panther in his ale.tncss and de-
fensive tactics.
The fifteenth round, in which the
once great fighter lost his champion
ship, is described in the bullentins as
follows:

BAKER CHILD
IS KIDNAPPED
IS MT. VERNON REPORT
LITTLE GIRL RECENTLY GIVEN
TO FATHER BY COURT IS
MISSING.

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat
Mt. Vernon, July 5.-That his s.
Tllr-old daughter has been kidnapped
is the belief of H. G. Baker, in whose
possession the little girl has been only
a few days, following a litigation
which has been in the courts for over
two years. The child has been miss
ing since Sunday and all efforts of the
father to find his daughter have been
unavailing. Warrants for the arrest
of three persons, one of whom is re-
ported to be the child's mother, Mrs
Fannie B. Durham charging the per-
sons with the offense of kidnapping,
are said to have been issued,
but whether or not any of the papers
have been served could not be learned
The story of Bakers efforts to gain
possession of his child is an interest
ing one. Baker and his wife separat-
ed even before the daughter was born,
and when about one year later the
couple were divorced by the Faulkner
chancery court, the custody of the in
fant was given to the mother pending
the further orders of the court. Mrs.
Baker soon after the divorce was re-
married, becoming Mrs. Fannie Dur
ham, and shortly after the marriage
Baker instituted proceedings in chan
To oh n1x IF ho
child
The court, instead of granting his
petition, ordered that the child be left
in the custody of its mothers father,
Spencer Lay, and that each parent be
allowed to visit it at all reasonable
times. From this decree Baker ap-
pealed to the supreme court, and a
few weeks ago a decision reversing the
chancellor was rendered and giving
the custody of the child to its father.
AS mandate of the higher court
could not be entered until the Septem-
Der term of chancery court in this
county, Baker sued out a writ of ha-
beas corpus before County Judge j..
A. Lea about 10 days ago, and, in
company with Deputy Sheriff j. S.
Johnson, went to get possession of
the little girl.
The process, however, it is report
ed, proved unnecessary, as Lay not
only willingly surrendered the custo-
dy of the child to Baker, but induced
the little girl, who did not know her
own father and seemed unwilling to
to go with him, to go to her new home.
The sequel comes in the reported
kidnapping of the child, and Baker is
making every effort to find his lost
baby.

.DONACHFY TORUN
FOR j. :. SENATE
IS MAXIM NO MPAICN
ANNOUNCES AT ROGERS, HOW
EVER, THAT HE WILL BE
IN THE RACE.

Somewhat to the surprise of Arkan-
sas people, Governor George w. Don
aghey is reported to have announced
at Rogers yesterday that he would be
in the race for United States senator
to succeed Jeff Davis. The informa-
ton was sent out in dispatch to the
Gazette from Rogers, where the gov
ernor spoke at a Fourth of July pic
mic yesterday. The dispatch says:
Governor George w. Donaghey to-
day announced to the Gazette CORE
spondent at this place that he is a
candidate for United States senator
to succeed Jeff Davis, but declared
that at this time he is making no cam
paign. II am too busy with the duties
Incumbent upon me as governor of
Arkansas to seek nomination for an
other office at this time," declared the
governor.
That Governor Donaghey would be
4 candidate to succeed Davis in the
senate has been predicted for some
time. His statement here today, how
ever, is the first open assertion of his
plans in the matter
Governor Donaghey spoke here to-
day at the local Fourth of July cele-
bration, but did not make any direct
reference to his candidacy for the
United States senate. In his speech
he declared that he intends to make a
tour of the state, speaking in various
counties for the purpose of enlisting
aid in the good roads movement, as
soon as the new capitol is finished
He also spoke at length against the
convict lease system.
At a banquet given in his honor
tonight at the Nashburg hotel, repre-
sentative citizens of Benton and
Washington counties pledged them
selves to support Governor Donaghey
in his race for the senate.
The town of Rogers has never wit
messed such a celebration as that
which marked the anniversary of the
nations birth here today The streets
were thronged with a crowd of about
5000 people.

ARE ELECTED TO SERVE
ENSUING YEAR,

The Faulkner County Warehouse
Company and the Peoples Mercantile
Company, two local concerns owned
principally by Faulkner county Farm
ers' Union members, will be consoli-
dated early next fall, if the action of
the stockholders of the former is rat
flied by those of the latter organiza-
ton. AS the stockholders of the two
concerns are in many instances identi-
cal, it is regarded as practically GER
tain that the two companies will be
merged. The warehouse company held
it's annual stockholders meeting last
Saturday afternoon and inaugurated
the proposition, which will be acted
upon by the Peoples Mercantile Com
pany at its stockholders meeting to
be held August 13.
The warehouse company meeting re-
suited in the election of the same
directors for another year, with the
exception of Secretary M. F. Dick
inson, whose place was filled by the
election of Hugh Duncan. The direc-
tors elected were A. L. Nichols, G. w.
Webb, E. V. Johnston, S. A. Wealth
erly and H. Duncan. An effort by
the stockholders to discontinue proxy
voting was defeated, 92 shares voting
against the proposition to % for it.
The annual report of the officers
showed the company had made a
handsome profit during the year, the
books having been audited few days
before the meeting by J. H. Hartje
and c. E. Durham.
Following the stockholders meeting
the directors held session and elect
ed the following officers A. l.. Mich
OILS, president; G. w. Webb, vice presi-
dent, and E. V. Johnston, secretary.
Manager l. G. Williams term does not
expire until September l and no ac-
tion toward the election of a manager
was taken.

RACE TROUBLES
FOLLOW FIGHT

The victory of Jack Johnson, negro,
over James J. Jeffries, white, in the
pugilstic world, was' responsible for
race troubles last night in virtually
every city in the country, north and
south. Relaxation and disappointment
on the one hand and jubiance on the
other gave rise to serious clashes be-
tween the two races, which resulted in
a number of casualties and the injur
ne of scores.
From New York to Pueblo and
south to New Orleans, came reports
of shootings, cuttings, brawls and
rought landings.

children. The governor spoke in the
afternoon. Following a program of
athletic events, display of fireworks
at the city park closed the celebration.
