President TOney Tells Why He Wants Salary Bill to Become a Law Read Twice Monday and Spe.
 cfal Order For Today.

Little Rock, Jan. 23.-(SpeciaD- President H. K. Toney took the floor Monday morning and introduced two bills of great importance to the peo. pie of Jefferson county, one to fix the salary of the prosecuting attorney of the Eleventh Judicial District at $l'SOO year and the salaries of the county officials of Jefferson county from $1,500 to $1,yOO year. The bill was read twice and made spe- cial order for Tuesday morning after the reading of the journal. The indi- cations are that the bill will go through the senate without serious opposition, because of the strong hold President Toney has upon the regard of his colleagues. He will see that the bill is followed up strong in the House.
 "The office holders of Jefferson county are all my personal friends ? said President Toney, 'but my alleg- lance to the best interests of the county outweigh any personal inter- ests or considerations. The people of Jefferson county demand that the of- fices be put on salary, and I shall do my utmost to see that their wishes are carried out. I am pre- pairing a document to be presented that Will be strong argument in fav- or of the measure"

AVIATION MEET
 IN PINE BLUFF w. H. I,angford and Wife Receive Curtiss Biplane as
 an Investment. FLIGHTS TO BE MADE In Other Neighboring Cities-Curtiss Machine Arrived in the City Monday.
FLIGHTS TO BE MADE

1 A latest improved Curtiss biplane
 similar in every respect to those be.
 ing used by the famous airmen il their flights at various aviation meets over the country, shipped from Mine. ola, N. Y, several weeks ago, Was re. ceived in Pine Bluff yesterday by w '1 Ianxford and will be used in all aviation meet, which is to be planiHeee for this and neighboring cities with in the next>few weeks. The biplane
 was purchased by Mir and Mrs. Lang ford While in New York recently at a ! cost of several thousand dollars. It will be moved to the large warehouse of the Southern Oil Company in the Western suburbs of the city today, to be put together, which will require about three weeks.
 The machine attracted much atten- tion upon it's arrival here yesterday and inquiry revealed the fact that Mir. , and Mrs. Langford have purchased it with a view to financing several avia- , tion meets in this city and oth- CT cities of Arkansas and , adjoin ng states. They bought the machine as an investment and believe that it will be a good one from a f. nancial standpoint
 Mr. and Mrs. Langford have in their employ chauffeur, Joseph Fender gras, formerly employed in the Cur tiss aeroplane works at Mineola, N. Y. Young Pendergras is an expert mechanician and understands the working of the Curtiss biplanes. He has put up several of the machines and is an enthusiastic airman. Pen dergras will make the flights in the Curtiss machine and if proper induce ments are given the owners the first flight will be made in Pine Bluff. Jack Langford, son of the purchasers of the machine, is also to be identified with Pendergras in the flights.
 An aviation campaign is being plan ned for Arkansas and other states by Pendergras and the new Curtiss ma chine. which arrived here yesterday, will be used by him. Mrs. Langford stated last night that the aeroplane shipped to them was of the latest im- proved type and that they had hoped that the arrival of the machine would not become known before it was put together and proper announcement made of the proposed flights here and elsewhere.
 The object in taking the machine to the large warehouse in the western part of the city to reconstruct it, is to avoid the crowd that will natural ly make an attempt to see it. The parts are in many large crates and although thoroughly familiar with ev- cry part. Pendergras will require nearly month to properly replace them. Only half of the warehouse has been leased for storing the car.

 public interest than was displaysa,l throughout Wheeling and it's enyir. ons. 5-.4..
 The prosecution began it's addresses to the jury before an audience that damned the court room. People who could not find entrance thronged the court house corridors and overflow ed to the nearby stret corners. There was only brief session of court this morning. The main thing brought out was ruling by Judge Jordan that the evidence of Mrs. James Hedges, given on Saturday to the effect that Albert Schenk had told her he hoped Laura Schenk, his slster-in-law, would break her neck in her automobile, must be dismissed. The judge declared that only can overt act on the part of the defend- ants brother-in-law could be consid- cred and mere speech made when the defendant was not present could could not be admitted This was something of a blow to the defense, but Mrs. Schenk's lawyers contented themselves with the knowledge that the evidence had been brought before the jurors anyhow and no doubt would remain in their minds.
 When the afternoon sessions began Judge Jordan instructed the jury on points requested both by the state and the defense. For the state he told the twelve men in the box that circum- stantial evidence, if strong enough. is quite sufficient to allow them to bring in verdict of guilty. For the defense he explained that defend- ants in criminal trials are presumed to be innocent until proved guilty and that guilt must be proved beyond all reasonable doubt. Mere preponder- once of evidence on the part of the state vas not enough. he asserted. The jurors must be morally certain of Mrs. Schenk''s guilt or else mus: bring in a verdict of not guilty. It may take until Wednesday afternoon to prepare the case for presentation to the jury.
 In case Mrs. Schenk is acquitted there will be big banquet i'll honor of her and her attorneys on the eve of the verdict. It is said that she 50 con- fident of "not guilty' verdict that she has already begun to prepare a few remarks to be delivered to the guests. In case she is convicted an appeal will be made at once by her attorneys, who say they are snre ;t will be granted.

 Whereas, The people of said coun- ty by an almost unanimous vote in primary election have demanded that said officers be each allowed a rea- sonable salary by, law and that the excess of fees received by them, over and above such salaries, be paid into the county treasury to be used for county purposes: Now, therefore Be 1t Enacted By the General As
 sembly of the State of Arkansas,

When the facts in connection with
the conditions of the sheriff's Office
became known through the inyesti-
cation of the grand jury, that body
suggested TO the county commission
ers the necessity of taking some &C
tion in the matter. This the board
promptly proceeded to do. The of
flee of sheriff was declared vacant,
and c. S. Grain, editor of the White
Pine News, was appointed temporary
sheriff.
Since that time legal te~chnicalities
have been advanced to the effect that
the action of the board was not
proper In view of the possibility of
Sheriff Butler returning within 80
days, and returning the money of
which the Office is now short. The
board Is hearing all arguments in
this respect, and its action. declar-
ing the position vacant and appoint
ing Grain still stands on the records.
