LIFE INSURANCE OFFICERS
HOLD CONFERENCE EODAY

Washington, Jan. 19.-The executive
officers of the principal life insurance
companies in the United States, rep
resenting twenty million policy hold
ers and nearly four billion dollars of
assets, have been in conference here
today at the tnird annual meeting of
the Association of Life Insurance
Presidents.
About one hundred companies are
represented.
Among the subjects for discussion
will be uniform life insurance legis-
lation and the new movement for the
conservation of the public health.
which was recently organized within
some of tne larger companies.
President Taft and Gov. Hughes of
New York delivered brief addresses.
Aside from these speeches the feat
IRE of the day was a discussion by
life insurance experts of ways and
means by which the companies may
legally engage in the movement TO
lengthen the span of human life. Re
insurance or amalgamation of weak
companies was considered, as was the
problem of securing uniformity in the
avs regulating life insurance com
panies
The annual report of the wears
work states that with the legislatures
of "A states and the Canadian parlia
nent in session during the year more
than 1.300 bills affecting insurance
were dealt WITH by the association
None of the measures finally enacted
will seriously interfere with the ad
of the business of the
or add materially to the
burden on policyholders."
Out of the mass, the report says
only one measure affects the business
adversely and that is the federal cor
ooration law. Practically avery life
Insurance company in the country
with the association to
get Congress to exempt life insurance
from the tax and while the
effort was unsuccessful it is stated
that amendments were introduced
which cleared the law of ambiguity.
Fhe rate was reduced from two per
cent to one per cent. Computed or
this basis the tax on the members OF
he association alone will amount to
about $4,000.
The report states that the general
of the association believes
that the law is unconstitutional, and
that in view of this 1T would seem

ers of the life insurance companies
% begin and carry on to a final de
ermination a vigorous contest of the
law"
The report recalls that the associa
ton is preparing for the appointment
Of a commission of experts to inves
rigate and make recommendation re
garding the taxation of life insurance
and states that model code of in
surance laws is being perfected. The
report says: "A demand for such a
has arisen in connection with
the desires of various states having
no logical and comprehensive form OF
insurance laws. Other states having
parts of codes or old ones are anxious
to recast them along more up-to-date
lines. Our intention is not to initiate
of this kind, but merely to
answer the demand which comes
with frequency from state officials
We believe that such a code would
enable us to do much toward extend
ing uniformity of state laws, a matter
Of great Importance and just now time

The board of trustees of the Arkan-

ONE ON THE GOVERNOR.

While at the new state capitol Sat

of remark made by a state convict
who has been in the penitentiary and
who is well informed concerning the
new state capitol and its history. The
convict last week heard someone say
that the governor had left the city for
few weeks rest, and he declared
that such could not be true, stating

OCTOBER COTTON
SELLS AT 1920

With heavy rains over the Sunday
period in Georgia, Alabama, Mississi-
ppi and Arkansas, none in Texas and
Oklahoma and temperatures running
100 to LOG degrees in the latter states,
and bullish weekly reviews of crops
by the newspapers, the cotton trade of
the world awoke Monday morning to
sudden and active realization of
what has happened during four weeks
of almost continuous rain in the val
ley and the coutheast and drouth in
the west. Some sensational and no
doubt highly exaggerated estimates of
the crop in Georgia and the east were
put in circulation, but there was
enough conservative and reliable news
to set the trade to thinking, and the
II salt was a general demand for cot
ton October made the high point
of 13.20c and August took leadership
IN the summer trading away from Ju-
ly with a gross advance of 38 points,
selling at 15.71c. 1t is said that the
short interest in July has been pretty
well satisfied and the moderate range
of fuctuation in that option seems to
indicate as much. The high July price
was 1850. Not in many weeks has
the market been so broadly active

PULLEN PLEADS
GUILTY TO MURDER
MRS. DELONEY ON TRIAL
DENIES SHE HAD ANYTHING
TO DO WITH KILLING OF
HER HUSBAND.

Ashdown, July 19.-Mrs. w. l.. De-
loney, after her alleged lover, Oscar
Pullen, had pleaded guilty to firing the
shot that killed her husband and had
implicated her in the crime, stoutly
denied in court yesterday that she
had anything to do with the killing.
Her trial is to be rushed. Already 10
men are in the jury box, selected from
panel of 120, and it is believed to-
day that the first testimony will be
taken before night.
The hopelessness and apparent de-
sire of young Pullen to pay penalty
for the crime was pathetic. He refus-
ed the aid of counsel declaring that
his only desire was to plead guilty to
the court He was nevertheless tried
and convicted by jury who returned
verdict within 10 minutes after
hearing the evidence of five persons
Pullen now awaits sentence for first
degree murder, Judge Steel announc-
ing that he would not name his SEN
tence until after the trial of Mrs.
Deloney.
The courthouse was jammed with
spectators this afternoon when Judge
Steel opened court for the beginning
of Mrs. Deloney's trial. She made the
only statement since her arrest when
arraigned, and asked to plead to the
charge against her.
81 am not guilty she declared. Il
had nothing to do with the killing of
my husband"
Prosecuting Attorney J. c. Pinnix
and his opposing counsel, Claude
Head of Texarkana and S. c. Rey-
nolds of Ashdown, had hard task
selecting a jury. Out of panel of
12O men, they found only 10 who did
not declare that had read accounts of
the case and were prejudiced for or
against the defendant.
Mrs. Deloney is guarded by three
deputies at the home of an Ashdown
citizen.

CASE DECIDED
AGAINST COURT
OWES BRICK co. $1,000
DECISION RENDERED YESTER-
DAY BY CHANCELLOR
MARTINEAU.

Little Rock, July 19.-Chancellor J.
E. Martineau yesterday decided that
instead of the Arkansas Brick and
Manufacturing Company owing the
state of Arkansas $17,723 on it's old
convict contract lease, the state of Ar
kansas practically owes the brick COM
pany about 1000, according to the
opinion rendered yesterday by Calm
cellor Martineau of the Pulaski chan
Gerry court The state cannot be sued,
therefore the brick company will not
be able to secure the payment of it's
claim from the state.
The suit grew out of the ten-year
contract of the Arkansas Brick and
Manufacturing Company, known as
the Dickinson contract, in which the
state, through the pententiary board,
agreed to furnish the brick company
the labor of 300 convicts for ten years.
When the contract expired in 1909
the penitentiary board claimed that
the brick company was indebted to
the state for convict labor in the sum
of $12,896 previous to December 81,
1908, and $4,827 from January l to
January IA, 1909, making total of
| SIT, ,723. The Arkansas Brick and
Manufacturing Company admitted
that previous to December 81, 1908, it
Gwed the state Sll,,>71. ano that from
sJanuary /, 1909, to January II of
II at year it owed the state S2,159.
AS an offset to this account the
trick company presents claim
against the state of 100000 on ac-
count of labor not furnished by the
state during the term of the contract.
The brick company claims that at the
termination of its contract the state
owed it the labor of convicts up to De-
cember 81, 1908 for $50, ,6s3 days, and
that by the failure of the state to
furnish it such labor it was damaged
to the extent of 100000.
1t was conceded by the state that
the proof justified the claim that if
the suit was between individuals the
brick company would be entitled to
the difference between 100000 which
the state owed the brick company,
and 5000, which the brick company
acknowledged it owed the state,
! amounting to $4,000.
The court made no finding as to
the $87, 900, that being in the nature
of claim against the state, which
cannot be enforced, but found that the
Arkansas Brick and Manufacturing
Company had been damaged by the
| failure of the state to carry out its
contract, in a greater sum than the
brick company owed the state for la
Dor, and mismissed the suit for want
of equity.
The case was argued before the
chancery court throughout almost the
entire day yesterday the decree being
rendered yesterday afternoon about 5
o'clock. Judge Frank T. Vaughan
and J. H. Harrod presented the argu-
ment on beha alf of the attorney general
for the state the Arkansas Brick and
Manufacturing Company being repre-
sented by Charles T. Coffman and w.
T. Lewis.

DREW GUNS BUT
DID NOT SHOOT
STATE CONVENTION RIOT
MR.. CARL-LEE ACCUSES MR..
HAMMETT WITH ELEC-
TION FRAUD.

Little Rock, July 19.-Serious
trouble was narrowly averted during
the hearing of the Smith CarlLee SEN
atorial contest before the Democratic
state central committee yesterday ev-
ening.
A. H. Hammett, treasurer of Cross
county and senatorial committeeman
from that county, addressed the COM
mittee stating that it was impossible
to carry out the mandate of the Dem
ocratic state convention in holding a
second primary to settle the contest,
because Mr.. Dale of Woodruff county,
the other senatorial committeeman,
had refused or failed to meet him to
arrange for the second primary.
He also stated that he did not think
that Mr. CarlLee or Mr.. Dale, who
was Mr.. CarlLee's brother-in-law, in
tended to do the right thing" in the
matter, and it was waste of time for
the state committee to pay any fur
ther attention to Mr.. CarlLee or his
adherents.
Mr.. CarlLee replied to Mr.. Ham,
NETT with considerable emotion, stat
ing that Mr. Hammett did not propose
to give him square deal; in fact,
"had assisted in counting him out in
the first primary, when he defeated
Mr.. Smith.
Advancing a few steps toward Mr..
Hammett, and pointing his finger dl-
rectly at that gentleman, shouted: +:
"You know that you are holding an
office you got by fraud. You also
know that are king bee of politicians
who are always doing dirty work, and
/ want to say to you, sir, that | don't
propose to put up with such conduct
any longer!"
Mr.. Hammett was on his feet in an
instant, livid with rage. He asked
Mr.. CarlLee to come outside and they
could settle the matter between them
at once. While making advances to-
ward Mr.. CarlLee, Senator NJ. H. Pat
terson of Woodruff county, Clerk J. c.
Harrell of Wynne and several others
caught him by the arm and seated
him in his chair.
Mr.. CarlLee was surrounded by his
father and several friends from
Woodruff county, and was made to
take his seat.

progress, Chairman Milwee was max
