HUNT IGNORED
COURTS ORDER
PROSECUTION IN RHFA CASE RE-
FUSES TO COMPLY WITH OR.
DER OF JUDGE.
HUNT MAY Be QHD
Case Will BE Taken to the Supreme
Court-Qucstion Authority
of Chancellor.

Although ordered to appear before
Judge John e. Martineau in the ,ou-
laski chancery court at Little nock
yesterday and file a transcript of the
pus hearing of w. S. Rhea, charged
with the murder of Vital Arehard, the
Farrell constable near Dumas on Nav
13, testimony being taken before
Judge Martineau several weeks ago,
Attorney S. J. Hunt, of this city, yes
terday ignored the summons OF the
court and it is most likely that he will
be cited to appear before the iariss
Immediately to explain why he should
not be dealt with for contempt CT
court.
Court Stenographer H. L. Stern
berg, of this city, who took the test
mony and who made the transcript
and turned it over to Attorney Hunt,
who with Attorney w. B. Sorre'le, is
assisting District Attorney r. 1Ja,is
Nixon in the prosecution of Rhea, WAS
ordered to file the transcript several
days ago, but did not do So He Was
recently cited to answer contem ut
charge in the same court, but SER
vice was never had as he had gone to
Buffalo, n. Y, to be operated on for
recent injury he sustained in an au-
tomobife accident on the Sweet HON
Pike, near Little Rock
Attorney Sorrells answered foi
Sternberg when the first order was
issued and insisted that the attorneys
for the defense had no legal right to
ask for the filing of the transcript
The evidence taken at the hearing
was taken for the states attorneys,
who employed Sternberg to take tie
stenographic notes. The position was
taken that the stenographer had ..,cb-
ed over the original notes and the
transcript of the evidence to Attorney
Hunt. Attorney X. o. Pindall. VINO
petitioned for the filing of the .rans-
cript, was ruled out of court Nv The
chancellor. This action was follow
ed by an order, directing Attorney
Hunt to file the transcript. lie WAS
to have done SO yesterday, but did Tot
go to the capital for that purpose.
If he is summoned to answer con-
tempt proceedings and is fined or or
dered to Jail by Chancellor Martinaau
for failing to respond to the courts
order, 1t is most likely that mandara-
us proceedings in the Supreme Court
will follow.

WOMAN OF MYSTERY
PUZZLES Officers
Wanted to Buy Fineries hnd Gave the
Names of Several PROMINENT La
dies of This City as Her Init
mate Friends and Ac-
quaintances.

The police have been trying for fev
eral days to locate and identify
fashionably dressed young woman
who tried to secure one hundred dol
lars worth of fine silks, laces, en-
broideries and other fancy articles
from the shop of Annie Ruetlinger, on
East Sixth avenue, recently. The
Ruetlinger woman is we'll known to
the ladies of the city and frequently
receives orders from them for her
fineries.
The woman, after selecting a large
assortment Of valuable goods, offered
a check in payment for the material
While she was writing the check the
woman who sold her the stuff was
busily engaged in placing her sales
into one package, happy in the
thought that she had made a fine
deal. But when the check was hand
ed to the storekeeper she hesitated
and said she would prefer having the
cash. The woman, who came to the
store after dark in a carriage, insist
ed that her check was perfectly good
and would be honored anywhere in
the city. But the dealer in the silks
and embroideries was not to be con-
WINGED.
The woman said that she was per-
sonally acquainted with Mrs. John B.
Speers, Mrs. A. D. Foster, Mrs. Jul
JUS Leitner and other prominent la
dies of the city and assured the skep-
tical storekeeper that she had drawn
the check on ]. B. Speers, president of
the Citizens Bank. This was not suf-
ficient to convince the aged woman
that her visitor was not an imposter
and she flatly refused to let any of
the goods go from her place before
they were paid for. The fashionably
dressed young woman left the place
in anger and said she would not "buy
any lnlnS UHefe or nave any OF the
goods for a gift
City Detective w. A. Branson has
been working on the case. There is
no charge pending against the mys-
FERROUS woman, but the police want
to know if there is shrewd woman
in town and to prepare themselves
for any scheme that might be pulled
off in the future. They have no clue
to the woman of mystery"

Because J. W. Paschall, owner OF
general merchandise store at
Gould, Ark, made complaint about
two gambling houses that We're in
operation In that town previous to
last Saturday night, when a posse OF
officers headed by District Attorney
T. Havis Nixon, Of this city. raided
them and closed them, it is thought
for good, his store was fired early
yesterday morning by unidentified
persons and with it's contents was
complete loss. At least this is the
charge made by Mr.. PaschaH. who
came to this city yesterday to confer
with Mr.. Nixon and ask his co-Opera-
ton in an effort to run down and
prosecute the guilty party or par
ties.
Mr. Paschall was not the only one
who reported the dives to the Of
ficers and Mr. Nixon, but he admit
ted being one of those who register
ed complaint against the dives and
he firmly believes that his business
was burned as spite work for his
activity In that direction
Mr.. Paschall said he was awaken
ID at o'clock yesterday morning by
neighbors who told him his business
,house was in flames. When he got
to the scene it was a mass of burn
ing embers His loss is placed at
81 200 with no insurance Mr.. Nixon
will urge the officers to work ON
the case and, if possible, arrest the
suspected persons
Mr. Paschall says he will move
his family from Gould Immediately,
as he does not care to live in the
lawless town, as he terms it,
The raid that was made on the
gambling houses unexpectedly last
Saturday night, after Mr.. Nixon and
officers had given the dive keepers
orders to close them, with the prom
Use that they would do so, resulted
in the arrest of twenty-four negroes
who were caught in games of craps.
Following the arrest of the negroes
all of whom pleaded guilty to char
ges of gaming before Magistrate J.
F. Lyon, of Star City, who accom-
panied the officers and held a ses-
sion of his court in one of the places
raided, warrants were asked for by
District Attorney Nixon for four
prominent business men of Gould,
who will be tried today on charge
of exhibiting gambling devices. The
men who will answer to the charge
are Don White, w. r. Kirby, Frank
Royston and Max Joslin. They will
appear before Magistrate J. F. Lyon
at Star City. District Attorney Nix
on will go to Star City this morning
to represent the State at the hear
ing.

SOUNDS BRYAN'S
DEATH kNELL
OSCAR UNDERWOOD OF ALABAMA
GIVES GREAT COMMONER
THE LIE
THE DEMOCRATS CHFERED
Entire House Rose LII Applause For
UnderWo0d-The Second
Clash.

Washington, Aug. 2.-Democracy-
the only Democracy that has COM
manded the confidence OF the people
since William Jennings Bryan as
sumed leadership Of the party fiji
teen years ago-today sounded the
death knell of the Nebraska state
mans leadership.
In a crowded House with practi-
cally every member of the Democrat
ic majority in place, Oscar Under
wood of Alabama, hurled back the
lie in the face of Mr.. Bryan and
token of the latters downfall came
in a demonstration in honor of I'm
derwood which brought every Demo-
crat and scores of Republicans to
their feet and continued uninterrupt-
ed for eight minutes.
Charging Bryan with a deliberate
characterization, scornfully deny
ing his right to dictate in Tariff mat
ters, repudiating his party leader
ship and boldly defying the fetisch of
the Bryan name, Underwood paused.
No friend of Bryan among all these
Democrats that crowd about him On
the floor as recently as last April,
rose in his defense. Silence for a
minute and then the House rocked
with cheers that the denunciatton
evoked.
Expressions are quite pronounced
in political circles here tonight that
Mr.. Bryan's sun has set. None was
so poor to do him reverence today
and Underwood played the master
stroke when he summoned from
among the cheering mass Ollie James
of Kentucky, and Kitchen of North
Carolina-friends of the Nebraska
man and on their testimony con-
victed Bryan of the SANDER and mis-
representation which the Chairman
of the Ways and Means Committee
preferred against him.
1t all came about through the lat
est criticism of Underwood by Bry-
an, in which the latter asserted that
the Alabama man, as chairman OF
the Way and Means Committee, had
deferred revision of the iron and
steel schedules because of his finan-
cial interests in the steel business
He declared that Underwood was
misrepresenting the Democrats of the
House and demanded his deposition.
Once before Bryan and Underwood
had clashed. On the wool schedule
Bryan demanded free raw wool and
Underwood insisted upon duty. The
House at that time, as now, stood
by Underwood.
When Underwood arose to make
his reply to Bryan, shortly after the
House convened at II o'clock there
came from all quarters OF the
House storm of cheers, a stamping
of feet and banging of desks. It was
several minutes before he was per-
mitted to utter the first word and
thence onward there was tumult
When he concluded pandemonium
cut loose. Tonight the situation is
as though violent storm had come
after a long spell of sultry weather,
The atmosphere has cleared-Demo-
