DAYLIGHT ROBBERY
 AT NEW CAPITOL
DARING THIEF SNATCHES Se8o FROM TEMPORARILY DESERT
 ED OFFICE.
Thief Waits Until Workmen Are All BusiIy Engaged and Paymaster
 Leaves Office, Then Seizes Roll.

Little Rock.-Nine hundred and eighty dollars, representing the pay roll of 50 marble settlers and their helpers employed al the new state capitol by the A. Wieblen Marble Company of New Orleans, was stolen from the paymaster when he left the building for a few minutes to super wise the setting of a huge piece Of marble on the building. The money, which was taken from an office in the new statehouse, was placed in envelopes ready to pay the men for their labors. The thief or thieves made good their escape, leaving no clue for the police to work upon.
 The robbery was most daring, well planned and most successful. It is believed that the man or men were familiar with the building and that the robbery was the result of plan ming for some time. That the thief was familiar with the place is evi- denced by the ease with which he escaped detection after leaving the building. Outside of suspicion of man with a heavy brown overcoat that seemed to bulge as he passed through the south side of the building, the police have no clue to the ider- tity of the thief.
 John Wieblen, son of President Wieblen of the New Orleans Gran ite Company, and paymaster for the concern, had made out the payroll and stepped from the office for a few minutes to supervise the work of construction, and when he returned to the office he found it had been entered and the money taken, while the large glass door was broken as II struck with the butt of a pistol The robbers missed $207. which was thrown carelessly by MT. Wieblen among some blue prints
 The office in which the robbery oo- cured is located in the east side of the capitol building While the door through which entrance was gained is within the building, a large win dow in full view of scores of men who are working throughout tie building is located on the south side. The thief or thives are thought 10 have planned the daring theft at the time when the workmen were raising the marble from the ground to the upper stories of the building. In this manner they escaped detection while in the office

State Capitol News Notes 1
THE SUM OF $11,5oo HAS JUST BEEN PAID ON THE STATE
 FARM.
Atty. Gen. NoWood Holds Penitentiary Board Had Right to Make Con-
 tract for Purchase.

The sum of $19,19S.55 was paid into the state treasury a few days ago by J. B. Speers of Pine Bluff, purchaser of the second 200-bale installment of the states cotton sold about two weeks ago. All but $500 of the mon- ey was immediately applied on ac- counts, $11,500 of which went to the Urquhart estate in partial payment of the balance of $23,000 due from the state farm. At the last meeting of the penitentiary board Commissioner of Agriculture Fred H. Phillips intro duced a resolution advocating non- payment of the $23,000, upon the contract for the purchase of the farm had no authority to contract for the payment of interest; that the legi5- lature is the only body authorized to bind the state for interest, and that the act passed in 1909 making an appropriation to pay the balance due on the farm according to the terms of the contract, did not receive the votes of two-thirds of all the members of the general assembly. MT. Phil lips resolution was also to draw in the two vouchers of $11,500 each which had been issued, and one of which has just been satisfied. The matter was referred to Attorney General Hal Norwood, who rendered an opinion to the effect that the penitentiary board, under the act of 1S97 had au- thority to make the contract in ques- tion, and that their action was with in the scope of their authority; that the action has been ratified by the legislature, and that the precedent of the state paying interest has already been established From which, and other reasons, he holds that the con tract is good and that the interest money should be paid

FEDERAL OFFICERS
 UNEARTH SPINDLE,
PoSTOFFlCE INSPECTORS FALL UPON TWO CONCERNS THAT
 ARE CHARGED WITH FRAUD.
It Is Alleged That the Concerns Raided Have Defrauded the Fub-
 lie Out of $4o,0oo,ooo.

New York.-In raids So important that Postmaster General Hitchcock took charge in person. his inspectors fell on two concerns which they c4ar9e with swindling the public out Of more than $40,000,000 by graIdu- lent use of the mails.
 Sheldon H. Burr, president of Burr Bros; H. Burr, secretary and treas urer of the firm, and Frank H. Tobey, it's vice president, were arrested ill tie first raid and held in $20,OO0 bail each. The government charges that the firm sold between $40,00O ,000 and $o0,000,OO0 of mining and oil stock worth little or nothing.
 Charles L. Vaughn, director of the ContinenII Wireless Telegraph X Telephone Company, incorporated in Arizona, was taken in the second raid and held in $10,000 bail. Inspectors say that his company has sold stock to the amount of at least $1,O00,000, which has brought no return to the investors. Vaughn is treasurer of the Columbia Finance Company, which acts as fiscal agents for the Continental Telegraph & Telephone Company, and has charge of the Con tinental offices in this city.
 Both raids are further evidence that the government in warfare against alleged swindlers means business and no longer will be content with issu- ing fraud orders denying them the use of the mails, but will press for convictions on criminal charges. The present campaign began some months ago and has resulted in the arrest of Louis Celia and his associates, who are charged with operating a string of bucket shops; the officers of the United Wireless Company, Fl Pro- gresso Banana Company, the United Exchange of Chicago, the Steele Mil Ter cotton firm at Corinth, Miss, and more than 50 other firms in all parts of the country.

MAN AND WIFE GET DEATH SENTENCE
John and Leila Ford Convicted of the
 Murder of Will Nichols,

John and Leila Ford Convicted Of the
 Murder of Will Nichols.
 DeQueen-After being out 3S hours. the jury in the case of John Ford and his wife, Leila Ford returned yer dict of murder in the first degree for the killing of Will Nichols on the night of September 30, this year. The defendants waived tue intermission of two days allowed between conviction and sentence, and Judge Bowling im- mediately after the finding of the jury sentenced each to be hanged on January 20, 1911
 Neither of tbH defendants displayed any emotion when the verdict was read or when the court passed sen tence. An appeal has been prepared and the case will be taken to the su- preme court. The appeal was filed as soon as the sentence was passed, and this will necessarily stop the ex- ecutlon ordered to take place January 20. Nichols was a prominent farmer and lawyer and was a member of the state legislature in 1909. The two defendants were tenants of Nichols. Witnesses testified that Nichols had driven team through a pea patch Of the defendants and that they re- sented it. After a few words, Ford. 1t was charged, attacked Nichols. stabbing him four times, causing in- Juries which resulted in Nichols death next day. Mrs. Ford was al- legged tO hove hold Nicbole u,b;Io Lo.. husband did the stabbing. Ford claimed that Nichols attacked his wife, when he interfered.
