 Little Rock, Sept. 29.-Dick Johnson, who had been indicted for murder in the first degree for the killing of Billy Griffith a year ago, on West Fifteenth street, will have to stand trial again.

SLOT MACHINE $
 DISAPPEARING
Grand Jury Has Returned Twen. ty-Five Indictments In
 Such Cases.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Sept. 29.-The
 Pulaski county grand jury today returned twenty-five indictments against the owner and operators of the slot machines which were run in this city for over a month. Eighteen of the indict- ments are for Little Rock, and seven are for Argenta. There are two counts in each indict- ment, one for gaming and the other for exhibiting a gaming device. The minimum fine for the first offense is $1O and for the second $1O0.
 In each indictment, there is a count against Johnnie Harding, the reputed owner of the slot machines. Last Wednesday 1t came to the attention of the Prosecuting attorney that Hard ing was preparing to leave the city, having already packed and
 shipped out the machines, which had overnight disappear ed from their accustomed place. It is said they were shipped to Indianapolis, or Chicago, prob
 ably back to the manufacturer. In order to hold him, the prose- cutting attorney caused him to be arrested and arraigned before Justice Frank Martin, who re- leased him on bond until Fri day morning.
 There were about twenty-five machines in tlie two cities, and they cost from $100 to $200 each. It was estimated that they would pay for themselves
 in one month, so sure was the
 manufacturer of their reliabil- ity in working for the house.
 The running of the machines has
 caused general outcry of con-
 demnation from press, public
 and pulpit, and the instructions
 of the court to the grand jury
 were finally effective in their
 overthrow.

COMP ANY MAKES
 PROMPT RESPONSE
Division Superintendent Here In Interest of Good Tele-
 phone Service.

That Newport is to be given first class telephone service, can hardly be doubted from the prompt response the protest of the patrons has met with. Mir. Morris M. Stimson, division su- perintendent of the Southwest ern Telegraph & Telephone Company for Arkansas, spent Friday in the city Investigating the trouble and arranging for a thorough inspection of all lines.
 In conversation with an Inde- pendent reporter, MT. Stimson said: We have the material on hand to place all the country lines on one board and addition al equipment for repairing pres- ent switch board is also on hand and will be installed immediate ly. We propose to make a thor ough inspection of all subscrib
 Vs' telephones and to see that Newport enjoys first class ser vice. The company has com pleted overhauling the entire outside plant here and to this has doubtless been due much of the cause of complaint, but this work has been practically com pleted," -. s~s4 4sssas
 MT. Stimson has recently served as the purchasing agent for his company of the Tri-State lines in Northeast Arkansas, which had local exchange in Jonesboro and the Bell Company will add many new toll lines in that section and thus relieve the Newport-Brinkley line of much of the business that here tofore has been routed this way.

Turkish Ambassador Handed Passports And Minister
 Withdrawn.

Must Pay Penalty Now.
Special to Independent.

Opeclal to 1nOepenuenC.
 Little Rock, Sept. 29.-Some of the corporations that are de- linquent in the payment of their franchise tax have been sending remittances to the attorney gen. eral covering the same, after seeing notice in the newspapers. The law provides that the attor- ney general shall cause suit to be brought against all delin- quents, when notified by the state treasurer, for the collec- tion of the tax and 25 per cent penalty.
 Some are sending only the amount of the tax, and these re- mittances are returned with the statement that the attorney general has no authority to re- init the penalty, and that ex- change must be sent payable to John W. Crockett, state treas urer, covering both tax and pen atty.
 Many of the delinquents claim that they failed to receive mo- tice blanks for the reports. The law requires the attorney gen. eral to bring suits for the col- lection, and pursuant to this he is notifying all of them.
