A NEGRO WILL HANG

Hot Springs, Ark, Sept. with
the consent of Governor Donaughey,
the local company of militia was held
in readiness to preserve order today
on the occasion of the execution of
Harry Poe, the 1S-year-old negro con-
demned to death for criminal assault.
Ever since Pce's arrest popular feeling
against him ran high. and though no
attempt was made at violence. Sheriff
Houpt thought it best to take precau.
tons to preserve order.
The negro's crime was an assault
upon young white girl while she was
on her way home from school. His
trial was at a special term of court,
and militia was on hand. as threats
of lynching had been heard. After
is conviction the case was carried to
the state supreme court, but that tri-
bunal upheld the verdict Of the trial
court. An attempt to have Governor
Donaghey interfere with the death
sentence likewise proved futile.

YOUTHS HIT HIGH SPOTS

Although members of high school
fraternities are wondering why school
authorities are fighting these "frats'
and why their existence is such hard
one, the following article in the Indian
apolis News, written by Fred Johnson,
formerly of Richmond. is in way ex-
planatory. A chapter of the fraternity
referred to exists in Richmond, and a
number of Richmond boys attended
the convention:
For two or three days last week
there gathered at one of the local ho-
tells probably $50 boys between the
ages of Il and Is to attend the nation
al convention of some high school fra
ternity They were here. We are told
first, to do business, and second. to
have good time.
ANY one who happened to be
around the lobby of the hotel on Wed
nesday, Thursday or Friday night
could have witnessed and enjoyed the
| good time to the full. And OF this
good time feature one must say only
little because one can not say all. On
! Wednesday, and particularly Thursday
night, l saw boys in all stages of in
toxication.
"On Friday night the young gentle
men gave a dance. / saw one, 16 o.

little slip Of 15-yearold girl on his
arm. She was q sweet. fair faced
girl with short dresses. He was under
the influence of drink. A friend OF
mine saw a similar sight. The matter
seems to be one to concern the parents
much more than the teachers. Most
Of the high school teachers are op'
posed to the system and believe In the
state law against fraternities. But
they can do nothing when the parents
countenance and even encourage them
These boys belong to the very best
people in their cities and towns and
the very best people usually have con
siderable influence with school boards;
and teachers are hired by schoo
boards. So there you are.
Il am college fraternity man my
self. but I do not think my belief In
college fraternties is inconsistent with
hostility to the high school fraternity
The difference between the two is MOI

London. Aug. 30.-Dr. Hawley Harvey
Crippen, who was arraigned in Bow
street Court yesterday for the murder OF
his wife, Belle EImore. the actress. is in
the prison hospital. His trouble is not
serious and is believed to be due TO nerv-
Gus reaction after yesterdays ordeal. The
fact that he was in the hospital was
brought out through inquiries made by
Arthur Newton, his solicitor. in reference
to arrangements for furnishing the doctor
with food while In Jail The authorities
informed him that no such arrangements
were necessary for the present. as the
doctor was IN the hospital.
Mr.. Newton, who viii visit the doctor
on Thursday. stated to-day that the pris-
oner had given him an explanation of the
farewell message found on a card in his
valise. This message implied an inten-
ton on the prisoners part to commit sui
eide and to induce Miss LIE Neve to do
likewise. Mr.. Newton regards the expla-
nation as a good one. but declines to tell
what 1t Is or discuss 1t in any way.
