ECKERT WIDOW
WANTED To BUILD
A MODEL TOWN
Within a Month of Time When,
She Says, She Married
Gen. Eckert.

NEW YORK, April 5.-That Mrs. E.
L. Davies, Sometimes Dore." who
claims to be the widow of General t.
7. Eckert, had other things In mind
than matrimony within a month or so
after she married the general, accord
ing to what she ,old Surrogate John
p. Cohalan, is evident from the fact
that In November of 1908 she was plan
ming to buy 500 or 800 acres of land in
Rockland county for the purpose of es-
t~ablishing a model suburban home town
Tor artisans and men of moderate
9 in New York city. These homes
were to be given to deserving persons,
and she claimed at that time that she
was backed by Mrs. William Astor and
ether wealthy n charitable women
of this city.
Mrs. Davies at tn time went to the
office OF Charles Chambers, an attor-
ney, in the Equitable Life Building,
and engaged him to obtain the farm
Me wanted in Rockland county. She
made many visits to his office, and he
arranged to get the acreage she wanted
IN Rockland county, but the money for
It's payment never materialized.
When Mrs. Davies first went to Mr..
C~nannbers's office she presented to him
letters of Introduction from several
very prominent men in the financial
and social life of New York. All of
them were known personally to Mr..
Chambers, and he accepted the woman
as a client without further question.
He never spoke to any of these men
about their acquaintance with Mrs.
Davies. as he never felt any curiosity
about the matter until now that she
has suddenly stepped into the limelight
as the widow of the former president
Of the Western Union.
According 10 Mrs. Davies, she mar
ried General Eckert late in the fall of
1908. 1t was in November of that year
that h visited Mr.. Chambers. But
she never mentioned General Eckert,
and never claimed to be the widow of
any prominent person at that time.
She did tell him she was a widow, and
never told him she was the wife of
General Eckert.

CLARK REPLIES TO
 PRESIDENT TAFT
Speaker of House Replies to Tafts Keynote Speech Charging Chief Executive With Misstatements
 in Not Stating Facts.

Quincy, H., Aug. 30.-Champ Clark, speaker of the house, before leaving here early today replied emphatically to President Taft's speech of defiance to progressive Republicans and Democrats deliv- cred at Hamilton, Mass, last Satur- day. Tn a signed interview the speaker accused the president of not stating facts.
 He declared among other things that if the tariff board is to be used as a pretext for delaying tariff re- vision downward the Democrats will cut of it's supplies. Referring to the Hamilton speech, Mir. Clark said:
 "The president assumed rather a large stunt in running amuck on both the insurgent Republicans and the Democrats in congress, singling out Mir. Underwood and myself in particular as targets, accept the onslaught as a badge of honor. The president, as ruie, is most ami able gentleman, but at times he seems to have been in bad temper because he sees defeat staring him in the face. The presidents criti- cism of MT. Underwood and myself is uncalled for and is as ungrateful performance as I can remember for had it not been for the action of the Democrats in the house, both in the sixty-first and sixty-second congresses, in lining up in favor oi reciprocity, he would have been the most thoroughly discredited anC humiliated president since the days lof Andrew Johnson"

NORWOOD CHECKS
 TAX COMMISSION
Action by State Board Against Pu- lasld County Assessor Is Opposed by Attorney General, Who Says
 BOrd Exceeded It's Power.

Little Rock, Sept. i.-In the Chan cery court this morning the State
 Tax Commission filed it's petition asking for a restraining order flo prohibit County Clerk Vogler from entering upon his records the as- sessment of the property of the Little Rock Railway and Electric Company, the Arkansas Water Company and the Pulaski Gas Light Company, the contention by the commission being that these assess ments should be made by the tax commission instead of the assessor under the Turner-Jacobson revenue bill.
 Following this Attorney General Norwood filed a motion to disrdss the tax commissions petition and to restrain the members of the com mission from proceeding in the name of the state against Tax As sessor Moore or County Clerk Vog- Ter. The attorney general sets up the contention that the tax commits sion is not authorized to bring a suit in the name of the state, as this function has never been dele gated to it except under the Fur ner-Jacobson act, which he con- tends is not in force. The attorney generals motion says that the com mission is "unlawfulIy pretending 10 bring suit on behaf of the state of Arkansas"
 It is further set up in the motion of the attorney general that the proceeding by the tax commission lis an effort to prevent the Turner Jacobson bill becoming effective under the initiative and referen- dunn amendment, and thereby thwart the will of the people and to deny them certain alienable rights reserved to them and secured for them by the constitution, etc."
 Set for Hearing September IS.
 This is the outcome of the ques- tion as to the method of testing the new revenue act, and precipitates the entire matter into court. Chan cellor Martineau declined to act upon the motion of Attorney Gen. eral Norwood, and set September IS as the date for a hearing upon the whole matter.

LAURA WHISENHUNT
 FOUND NOT GUILTY
Woman Charged With Murder of Her Husband, Whose Body Was Found in We'll, Dis-
 charged by Jury.

Nashville, Sept. 2.-Mrs. Laura Whisenhunt, tried here on a charge of the murder of her husband, Isom Whisenhunt, at their home in this county last fall, was acquitted to- day after the jury had been out since yesterday afternoon about 4:30 o'clock. Mrs. Whisenhunt admitted the killing, but claimed she acted in self defense.
 Walter Whisenhunt, age f5 years, jointly indicted with his mother, was not tried but was used as wit ness for the state. He and another son and daughter swore that Whis- enhunt came home drunk from Nashville the night of the killing and threatened to kill the whole family. They testified that he had a rifle with him and actually tried to carry out his threat. Mrs. Whis- enhunt then took a pistol from a bureau drawer, they swore, and shot.
 They explained the fact that the body was found in an old well or an adjoining place by saying that after Whisenhunt had been killed they became frightened, and theiI first thought was to conceal tht body. They placed the body in 6 wagon and hauled it to the old wei where it was thrown in.
 After Whisenhunt had been miss cd for several days neighbors begar a search and the body was discov- cred. Mrs. Whisenhunt shortly af- terward admitted that she killed
 her husband, but swore that sh, was forced to kill him to save her self and children. Siie was is: ia ldicted, but gave bond, and not lont
 after qualified as administratrix O
 her husbands estate. It was stated
 in court today that the indictmen
 against the boy would be noll'
 prossed later.
