COME TO COURT:
 FIND JUDGE GONE

About 30 citizens of Wilson town ship, witnesses in the case of Mrs. Cora Wilson against R. J. Hooks, guardian, came from 20 to p miles to attend trial of the case before the probate court today, and found that Judge J. A. Lea had left town early this morning to visit his farm across Cadron creek. The case was set for today, but Mrs. Lea stated the judge was under the impression it was set down for May ,. County Clerk J. H. Bailey made strenuous efforts to reach Judge Lea by phone, but was unable to do so, and the case will probably go over until tomorrow.
 Mrs. Wilson is the mother of two children of whom MT. Hooks is the guardian and she is seeking to have the guardianship annulled. Habeas corpus proceedings were brought two or three weeks ago, but the petition was denied and the case referred to probate court.

ROYAL TIME FOR
 EDITORS PLANNED

Little Rock, May 3.-An addition has been made to the speaking force for the Arkansas State Press Associa- tion in Joe Mitchell Chapple, editor and publisher of the National Maga- zine of Boston. Editor Chapple, who has always been a booster for Arkan- sas, will be in Little Rock May 24, and as soon as he learned of this, Earle w. Hodges, corresponding sec retary of the state association, imme- diately issued an invitation to the dis tinguished publisher to address the Arkansas "squirrel-heads." Morril- ton will do itself proud in entertain ing the editors during the three days they will be in the hustling little met ropols of the Little Rock and Fort Smith railroad. An editor of one of the Morrilton papers, writing of the coming convention, says: We expect to entertain the boys so well they will have to take to the woods to get a rest. One of our features will be a basket dinner and old-fashioned fish fry, if the weather permits, another is a boat excursion up the river to the beautiful Petit Jean mountain, anoth- CT is a banquet at which there will be something to eat, another is a public reception, in which the town and vis- itors will meet each other, another is home-talent play in which some splendid talent will be shown, another is free ice cream, soda water, cigars, chewing gum, etc., which will be on tap at many places. Another, and best of all, will be the throwing open of our many elegant homes to enter tain the boys and their wives We want to treat the gang as we believe they are entitled to, and to show them there is one town in Arkansas that sympathizes with the down-trodden. y This spirit on the part of the people of Morrilton is expected to bring out twice as large an attendance than that of the last session of the Ar kansas Press Association.

10 WAGE FIGHT
 ON TUBERCULOSIS,
MEDICAL. L.SOCIETY'S WORK
NEW CONVENTION HALL IS DE- LIGHTFUL MEETING
 PLACE.

Little Rock, May Without ask
 ing the state for aid, the members Of the Arkansas Medical Society will be-
 gin their fight against tuberculosis. At the meeting of the society Tuesday
 afternoon a committee was appointed to make an estimate upon the cost of
 such campaign in Arkansas, with
 the promise that the society would make such an appropriation from the funds of the society. Another import ant matter taken up yesterday after
 noon which will be worked out before the close of the session was the propo- sition to combine the two medical col leges here, the medical department of the University of Arkansas and the College of Physicians and Surgeons. It is stated that the committee which has this work in charge gives much encouragement and expects to have but one college in Little Rock next year. This is quite a surprise, as it was thought it would be impossible to combine the two schools of medicine.
 The committee on state and public policy reported yesterday afternoon that no session was held at the last meeting of the legislature, but the committee favored much in this line, first, the passage of the Owen bill in congress for a public health depart ment; second, for every physician at the birth of an infant to give the eye such treatment as to make it strong and forestall blindness and weak eyes; third, the foundation of pasteur in- stitute by the state; fourth, additional institutions for the caring of the in- sane; fifth, the forcing of all physi- clans to register births and deaths; sixth, making the woman immune from punishment who will give in- formation against doctors performing or undertaking to perform, abortion upon them. The balance of the time of the annual convention of the med icos will be devoted to technical pa pers.
 At 9 o'clock this morning the phy- sicians gathered in the magnificent new convention hall of the Hotel Ma rion for the purpose of dedicating it. This hall seats l 300 persons and is by far the most beautifully decorated in the south. It is ideally lighted and heated, with a gentle breeze always blowing from off the Arkansas river in summer to keep it cool. The acoustics of the large room are per feet, the voice of the speaker being as audible 100 feet back in the hall as it is nearer the platform. Addresses were delivered at the dedication by George w. Rogers, the master of cere- monies, Charles Mckee, Ed o. Taylor and President J. H. Lenow of the Ar kansas Medical Society. After this session the Regular session of the con vention begalH> with welcoming speeches by Covering G. W. Donaghey and Mayor w. R. Dule%s and Dr; Nah lon D. Ogden, president of r7e Pulaski County Medical Society Presid@@+> Lenow delivered his annual address, which was followed by the announce ments of the various entertainments which have hoen provided for the wis itors. There is something in the na ture of reception or banquet for ev- cry night during the convention.

NEWS NOTES OF
 THE CAPITAL CITY

Little Rock, May 4.-Col. J. E.. Hampton, chairman of the Arkansas tax commission, has returned from a trip to Alabama, where he took occas- ion to study further into the tax sys- tenn of that state. Col. Hampton says the property of Alabama is taxed up- on 60 per cent valuation, but the as sessors see this full 60 per cent gets on the books and levy accordingly. Col Hampton thinks Arkansas would be better off by sticking to a part val uation and seeing that all property assesses true to this mark. He says the Alabama rate of taxation is low CT than Arkansas, but that is not sur prisng when Arkansas real estate is not assessed on an average of over 25 per cent. Col Hampton states that in many places valuable property is on the tax books in Arkansas at the same valuation it was 10 years ago, even though in many instances it has treblcd in value in that length of time.

The old talk of Little Rock getting back in the Southern League before the close of the present season, has been revived and several prominent men of Little Rock yesterday after noon stated that a deal was pending by which Little Rock would become the owner of the Montgomery fran chise if plans did not miscarry. No one seems to be aware of any details, but the rumors of league baseball again are thick and those who have given up all hope have begun to think there must be some fire where there is so much smoke.
