CONWAY COURT ENDS SUDDENLY
Challenge Of the Entire Array of
Jurors Sustained by Court.

Conway, April 5.-Court was
brought to a very sudden and un-
expected close this afternoon by
Judge Sease's having sustained the
challenge Of the venire made by r.
B. Scarborough.
When the case Of Bill Moore.
Wash Moore ct al. for murder, was
called for trial, Mr.. Scarborough, of
counsel for the defendants, challeng-
ed the array Of petit jurors upon
the grounds, first, that the venire
was irregular and void because the
Clerk of Court had neglected to afix
the seal Of the court; and, second,
because the sheriff had neglected to
make any return thereon before the
opening Of court. These irregulari-
ties being apparent from an inspec-
ton, the motion was granted, and
this resulted in the immediate adj
journment of the court, as no fur
Their jury cases could be tried.
Before the motion was granted,
Mr.. Scarborough had objected to the
arrangement of his clients upon the
ground that the court had no juris-
diction. April 3 was the de- e fixed
by statute for the holding Of the
regular term Of the court of COM
mon pleas. Governor Blease ordered
a special term Of court of general
sessions for the same date, upon ap-
plication of the solicitor, but failed
to commission a special Judge there
for. Subsequently the Chief Justice
assigned Judge Sease, a disengaged
circuit judge, to hold both the regu-
lar term Of the civil court and the
special term Of the criminal court.
Mr.. ScarborouGh's contention was
that inasmuch as the special term
was ordered by the Governor, the
only provision made by the statute
law of the State was that such court
must be held by a special Judge.
This proposition was, however, over
ruled by Judge Sease.

Anderson Trolley Conductor Killed.

Anderson, April 6.-Patrick G..
Moore, a conductor on one Of the in
terurban electric cars, running be-
tween Anderson and Bolton, was
electrocuted in Bolton late last night
when he attempted to adjust the
headlight of his car. The shock of
$500 volts passing through his body
threw him in a cramped position
against the car. This attracted the
attention of a bystander, who pulled
the trolley from the wire. When
the current was broken Moore fell
to the ground, death resulting in
stantly. Moore was 81 years Of age
and married. He had been with the
company since the lines were first
built, and was considered careful and
efficient. He leaves a widow, who
was Miss Annie Sassard, and seve-
raj brothers and sisters.

COCA-COLA WINS IT'S FIGHT.
Government Files Notice of Appeal
to Higher Court.

Chattanooga, Tenn, April c.
When Judge Sanford took his seat
on the bench of the Federal court
shortly before 1 o'clock this after
noon he delivered his opinion In the
matter Of the motion for peremptory
instructions in the case Of the Uni
ted States government vs.. 40 barrels
and 20 kegs Of coca-cola, which has
been on trial here for the past three
weeks.
This motion vas argued yesterday,
consisting of 5000 words. In his
opinion Judge Sanford sustained the
motion on certain points to the eff
feet that catiine is not an added nor
de%leterious ingredient, but over
ruled the motion on points relating
to the misbranding feature heading
that these were questions for the
jury to pass upon.
Thereupon counsel for government
moved to dismiss the case without
prejudice on the points relating to
misbranding. The court then d.
rected the jury to return a verdict
for the defense, which was accord
ingly done. Government counsel en-
tered a motion of appeal to the Uni
ted States Circuit Court of Appeals
at Cincinnati.

A Taxless Town.
(Ansonia, Conn, Sentinel.)

\AhooHld, COuH., Senllnel,)
A news report states that Farming
ton Maine, finds it "necessa to
levy any taxes this year, and has ac-
cordingly voted to skip that ordeal.
h highly prosperous state Of mu-
nicipal affairs Is said to have been
brought about through the city's sys-
tenn Of water works, which have
proved great money Con-
sidering that some twenty-five years
or mc"s 6 Pennington was Are
swept aid it's entire business section
wiped out and It's churches, banks.
county jail, business blocks and pri-
vate enterprises swallowed by the
flames, its present achievement in
prosperity Is surprising.
1t suggests the possibility OF so
adjusting municipal affairs that a city
may not only do away occasionally
with taxation, but all Of the time
and pay dividends into the bargain.
That is, not only have it's water
works pay dividends, by its lighting
and heating plants; make its public
service franchises pay all they are
worth; make street railways which
occupy the middle OF the streets
the most valuable land in the town.
pay handsomely for the privilege:
make telephone and telegraph COM
pan1es pay adequately for stringing
overhead or underground wires. In
short, apply the principle of private.
business to public enterprise. Under
such changes as these, would It be
impossible to have a dividend paying
city?
The idea, Of course, is communis-
TIC, and the public in the long run
would pay the bills, but in these
days Of tax-ridden, debt-burdened
cities Is 1t any wonder q man casts
about him for a way out? We would
like to hear more about the road
bennington, Maine, has Travelled in
order to arrive at a year Of no taxa
ton.
This Is no joke. It can be and
ought to be done. The people OF
every town and city have a right IN
expect to see 1t done. 1t ia entirelv
practical to have q "~taxless town"
But 1T can only be done by using and
selling what Is now thrown away.

DEATH FIGHTS AGAINST MAN.
Conscious Though Brain Protrudes
and Bullet Hole Through Head.

Camden, April 5.-Breaking all
known surgical records and showing
a vitality unprecedented, Adolph
Kelly is alive and conscious a month
after receiving two wounds, either of
which would have proved fatal to
almost any one. He was chopped in
the head with a Ratchet, his brain
protruding through the wound, and
then shot through the forehead, the
ball lodging inside the skin at the
back Of his head. Despite these dts-
perate wounds Kelly has never lost
consciousness. His physicians, who
have marveled at his living this long,
express no hope Of his ultimate re-
covery, and state that he is growing
weaker and will probably die before
the end Of the week.
Cut With Hatchet.
AS a result of family trouble and
too much whiskey, Kelly, who lives
about six miles from Blaney, on Feb
ruary 6, threatened to kill all the
persons in his house. Brooks Corn
well, a 17-year-old-boy, who Is close
kin to Kelly, attempted to stop him.
Kelly resented it, and drew a pistol
and tried to shoot Cornwell grabbed
a Ratchet, an wNth a mighty blow
cut his he . yposing his brain.

down, which he did.
Kelly did not lose consciousness,
and recognized all of his farm hands
that came to see him that night.
He was operated on the same night
and has been lingering since.

Scientific Investigations, Pixies Peak

Extensive scientific investigations
will be carried on at the summit Of
Pixies Peak this summer by several
well-known scientists. The investiga-
tions will be made to determise, the
effects Of high attitudes on men and
animals, and will continue through
July and August. Those who will take
part in the investigations are: Prof.
Randall Henderson Of the Yale Medi-
cal School; DR.. ]. S. Haldane and DR..
C. Gordan Douglas of Oxford Univer-
sity, England, and probably Prof. E.
C. Schneider of Colorado College. The
experiments, which will be made in q
camp to be established at summit of
Pixies Peak, will involve the use of
delicate instruments, many of them to
be brought from England, and will be
the the most extensive experiments of
the sort ever made.
In an interview in New Haven,
Conn.,, recently, Professor Henderson
said:
"We propose to study the adjust
ments of volume under the atmos-
pheric pressure of high elevations, to-
gether with the heart action and
breathing changes that take place on
high mountains. DR.. Haldane, who is
the founder of the modern conception
of breating, is one of the foremost
English authorities on this subject, and
DR.. Douglas is no less prominent in this
line of research. We will possibly be
accompanied by DR.. Edward C. Schnei-
der of Colorado. Springs.
