THEY FAILED
To UNDERSTAND
The OPINION
Many Corporations WOuld Dodge

Declared No Dividends Their
ThiCk.headedneSS About Attorney
Generals Opinion Accounts for the
NOn.diyldend Condition.

Misconstruing an opinion rem
dered by Attorney General Crawford
the other day at the request of the
corporation department of the office
of secretary OF state, and which was
to the effect that only corporations
organized for gain or profit were
compelled to pay an annual license,
fee and that eleemosynary corpora
tions were not liable for license,
scores Of corporations organized for
gain are claiming that they come
within the terms Of th> opinion on
the ground that they have never paid
a dividend, and are urging It as a
ground against the payment of their
license fee.
What the attorney general intend
ed to say and he probably did say
IL. only HIS language has been mis-
understood was that any corporation
organized for profit and under whose
articles 70 is possible for Mt to en-
gage in a business in which IL might
reap a profit must pay an annual
license fee; and it would not matter
whether II had ever paid a dividend
or not The only corporations eN-
cused from the paying the the fee
are such as are organized for chari-
table, benevolent. literary and reli-
gious purposes, and in order for
them TO be excused it must appear
in the articles Of incorporation that
under no circumstances do they give
Il power to engage in a business
whore O profit might be reaped
The corporations, however. con-
Strued his opinion 10 mean that II
they had never declared dividend
that they were excused from navins

The SALEM
WATER co.
IMPROVES
Is EXTENDING MAINS, PUTTING
IN NEW PUMPS AND SPENDING
THIS YEAR IN IMPROVEMENTS
ABOUT $4,000.

The Salem Water company opened
IT'S offices in the city hall - years
ago az the unanimous request OF the
common council. In the same unan-
imous manner they were invited TO
null out Of there a few weeks ago,
and have now established comforta-
ble offices in the building formerly
occupied by the Salem FIGURING Mills
comuanv corner of Commercial and
Trade streets. The same force is
there employed. Mr. Chas. A. Park,
who succeeded the late A. NJ. Wal
Ice as president and manager. Is IN
charge. All bills for water are pay
able there. All records are kept
there. All construction works is di-
rected from there.
Extensive Work Being Done.
To meet the rapid growth and eX-
pansion of the Capital City for the
past IS months, an enormous amount
of construction work is being done
/ in the way OF extending the mains,
and enlarging the whole plant. Large
ma{ns are being laid in East Salem,
/ North Salem, and South Salem and
on all hard service streets they are
being laid with pavement water
mains are being put in for perma-
nent service and to meet the de-
mands for years to come.
Keeping Its Pledges.
When Mayor Lachmund recently
vetoed the bill passed by the COM
mon council for the purchase of the
plant he said that while it might be
expedient, there was no immediate
hurry about municipal ownership.
He meant by those words to convey
the idea that the plant could be
bought by the city at some time in
the future. President Parker took
him at his word and began at once
the work of meeting the demands of
a growing city. Between now and
New Years the company will spend
about $4,000 in enlarging the SER
vice of the Salem Water company.
President Parker interviewed.
I'VE are carrying out just what we
said we would do when we made our
statement to the people after the
mayors veto was f'livered We will
keep our pledges and do what we
would have done long ago if We had
not entered into negotiations with the
city. 1t is our policy to improve the
property and give the people the best
possible service We are running
our pumps now day and night to
meet the demands for irrigation. We
are delivering three and one-hali
million gallons per day to the peo-
pie of Greater Salem We have or.
dered large new pump to be manu-
factured of the most modern pattern
to be driven by electric power and
to be installed as soon n 1t can be
delivered. There will be no COM
plant from the people as to our ac-
tivity or keeping good faith with this
community We have always done
so in the past and we mean to keer
up our reputation It was not oul
fault that these improvements were
delayed for nearly two years"

HOSPITAL WAS
 NOT RESPONSIBLE Negro Badly Injured is Left Three Hours Without
 Medical Attention STATEMENT IS MADE Patients Must be Accompanied by Physician or Permit to be Enter-
 ed at Davis.
STATEMENT IS MADE

Gusta Marshall, negro from Rob Roy, about thirty years old, was probably fatally injured at the Cott n Belt shops at 3:30 o'clock esterday m)rning and owing to the fact that there is no provisions made for the care of emergency cases at the Davis Hospital the patient was carried over town in an ambulance for medi- cal aid and after finally being taken to the poor house, received medical attention three h)urs later. Dr. A B. Loving, the county physician, at tended him there and stated yester- day that he could not tell whether his injuries would prove fatal Or not
 Dr. Loving said that it is first ne- cessary to secure an order from County Judge PhilN)t before a patti ent can be taken to the Davis Hos pltal. He said that there are no charity wards at the Davis Hospital, but that the county pays for all pa- tients who are unable to pay hos pital fees there.
 Marshall was riding on the rear of the engine of the No 8 Cotton Belt passenger train, which he boarded at Rob Roy when he was thrown from the tender and injured. He sustained broken arm, dislocatedr slssNl< <ss;A and several bad injuries about the head. Holderness' ambulance was called and Fred E. Niven and Clar- ence Allen picked the injured man up and hurried to the city with him. He was taken to the Nolice head quarters and the Davis Hospital was telephoned tol The superintendent there stated that they would have to communicate with Dr. loving, the county physician, and that if the ne- gro was brought there for treatment they would prepare to receive him. Dr w. T. lowe, the city physician. when appealed to, said he would ad- minister to the patient if he was taken to the Davis Hospital. Dr. Loving could not be gotten over the phone at his home and the ambu- lance took the suffering negro to Dr. Loving's home at Fourteenth avenue and Olive streeet.
 Dr. Loving ordered the man taken to the poor house, two miles rom the city and he followed the ambu- lance to that place later and dressed his wounds.

Card from President.

Editor Graphic :-Having heard it reported that the negro, Gusta Mar shall, who was seriously injured at the Cotton Belt shops Tuesday night, was refused admittance into the Da- wis Hospital, l at once inquired into the matter and find the facts to be as follows:
 Miss Crabtree, the superintendent of the Hospital, was phoned to from police headquarters and informed of the case. Frpm the information given her she thought it was coun- ty case and directed them to get an order from Dr Loving, the county physician.
 The Hospital was ready to receive the patient and is not responsible for his being sent to the poor house. There is no house surgeon at the Davis Hospital and patients are only brought there by order of some physician. Such an emergency case will at any time be received at the Davis Hospital at the request of any reputable physician. The hospital has IT, endowed ward yet and is not out of debt but is not willing that any injured person should go un- cared for. and in such cases will trust to generous public to aid in defraving the expenses if the patient. is unable to pay and the county of s'oials dec''"A to take care of him at the hospital.

RHEA HEARING
 IS SENSATIONAL Witnesses Charge That l8y $ Rhea Killed Archard and
 Organized The Negro @ Mob
JUNGLE IS INVOLVED
Witness Testifies That Money Was Offered Her Not to Tell What She Knew.

Little Rock, Ark, July 5.-The hearing for bail on a petition filed by attorneys for w. S. Rhea, charged with the murder of Vital Archard, the Farrell constable who was killed by a mob at Dumas, several weeks ago. was begun this afternoon at 2 o'clock in the office of Judge John E. Martineau in this city, On ac- count of the large crowd present the session was adjourned to Judge Lea s courtroom. Before announcing in tbe case, S. J. Hunt, associate counsel with the State, made a strong plea urging Judge Mart 'neau to refer the petition back to the judge of the circuit court of the district where the crime is said to have been con- mitted, for hearing, and said that if he did not see proper to do that it ought to be referred to Judge Zack Wood, who s the chancellor of the district of which Desha county is a part, or to Judge Elliott, the chan cellor at Pine Bluff, where Rhea is being held in custody.
 MT. Hunt said the fact that Judge Martineau was an appointee of Act ing Governor Pindall, now counsel for Rhea, would likely caused him to be criticised whatever his decision might finally be. This request was denied and the petitioner, Rhea, placed on the stand Charles Miler, of Little Rock, as the first witness.
 MT. Milers said he was the lessee of the LenoX plantation where this killing occurred; that Rhea had been recommended to him as thoroughly competent man to manage the place, and was Tn charge as manager for him when the tragedy occurred. He had always known Rhea as a good, peaceable, law abiding citizen. On cross examination he said he knew nothing about the killing or what led up to it and was dismissed.
 Willard Funk, young white min, 23 years old, was the next tness. He said he had known Rhea for four or five years, was a particularly 1n- timate friend of Rhea and that he had been visiting Rhea from Sunday until the Saturday following at the time when the killing occurred. He testified to Rhea's good character and said he saw Archard and Rhea talk ng at Dumas on the day of the killing. He said Archard was drunk in Holmes saloon. On cross exm1- nation he said that he left Dumas at 3:2O Saturday afternoon. The killing occurred that night and he did not know anything about 1t. He admitted that he had not done any
