ARKANSAS P0|sON CASE 0N
STELLA FUTTER SCHNEIDER AC- :, CUsED OF POISONING SPOUSE.
Suicide Pact Ends in Death of Man, sV But Wife Changes Her Mind
 ~4 After His Demise.

Little Rock, Ark, Mar. 23.-It is quite evident now that the defense of Stella Futter Schneider in jail here, accused of poisoning her husband, Fritz Schmieder, March 8, will be that Schneider ended his own life follow ing an agreement between them to die together. She will say in explana- tion of her failure to carry out her part of the compact that when she saw the agony her husband was sui fering her heart failed her and she decided to live.
 Mrs Schmeider's counsel, Judge Frank Vaughan, made an appeal for bail for her at the preliminary exam ination last Monday, stating that the evidence against her would never se- cure a conviction of murder in the first degree, even should she make no defense whatever. However, the court refused to release her on bond, and the grand jury is working on the case.
 No white woman has ever been hanged and none has ever served term in the Arkansas penitentiary, and it is not believed that Mrs. Schneider will ever be punished either.

NORTHWESTERN COMPANY OPEL GERS CHARGED WITH coNFIS-
 GAPING &5,ooo,o 1000.
POLICY HOLDERS TRlCKED
Accounting of Books Asked and Com plete Investigation of Bus-
 ness Methods Followed Are Sought.

Cleveland. O., Mar. 29.-Alleging that a $30000,0OO policy holders divi- dend fund has been so juggled that it is now only $25,O0O 900, three Cleve- land men have brought suit for ac- counting in the federal court against the Northwestern Life Insurance com pany of Milwaukee, the sixth largest insurance company in the United States.
 The three Cleveland men declare officers of the company have diverted policy holders money for years, that holders of tontine policies which ma ture are being paid less than is right and that tGents have been paid con- missions to get proxies from policy holders so the old officers could be kept in power.
 The plaintiffs in the suit ask that the company be compelled to make an accounting and that receiver be ap- pointed to hold the tontine fund un- til all details are disclosed
 Company in Good Condition.
 The three Cleveland men are ChaS w. Ebephard, Augustus M. Weber and Bernard Miller, formerly mayor of Lakewood. The plaintiffs make no hint that the company is in any but the best financial condition.
 The company, known from coast to coast, with policy holders so numer- ous that they number thousands in Cleveland and Ohio alone, had admit ted assets January 1, 1910, of more than $2G2 100000. The company had at that time nearly $1,O31 100000 of insurance in force.
 The plaintiffs allege that the de- fendants paid excessive commissions to agents, amounting to more than S5000JJ a year for the last seven years, and that the agents were paid to obtain policy holders proxies, "as prepared by the defendant through it's officers, to perpetuate the officers in power George c. Markham and A. s. Hathaway are named as presi- dent and secretary, respectively, of the company.

Editor Clarion: In an inter
view given out by Mr.. Chas.
Thibodeaux, candidate for sheriff.
he declared for a salary system
for all officers. He says the
small parishes pay scarcely
enough in the way of fees to
compensate the parish officers,
while in all of the large parishes
the compensation received by
the sheriffs is out Of all proper
ton to the services rendered by
them" " He wants the salary regu-
lated in proportion to the popu-
lation.
He states that If elected he
will not join the Sheriffs' Asso-
citation. He says that the
Sheriffs' Organization used its
influence to set aside the reform
act adopted by the Special Ses-
sion Of Governor Blanchard. He
says 1T is notoriously known
that his opponent, M. L. Swords,
who was at that time President
of the Sheriffs' Association, lob
bied for many days with the
members of the General AS
sembly, and that it was chiefly
through his urgent appeals that
the act was passed, putting the
fees back on their former basis. +"
He finally asserts that, it has
been publicly charged that Gov
ernor Sanders gave his powerful
influence to the passage of this
act, and asserts that so far as he
knows, he has never denied the
charge.
Somebody doped Mr.. Thibo-
deaux. He knows nothing

or either the old or new law that
governed, Or is now governing

was the Parish Treasurer during
this term until he resigned some.

the act carefully will see that
the smaller parishes are much
better cared for than the larger
ones, and that the sheriffs get a
much larger per centage than
those of the larger parishes. To-
