RETAIL DEALERS

Hold Convention In Capital City With 600 Delegates
 Present.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, March 28.-The Arkansas Retail Hardware Asso- citation is evidently very fast growing institution from the i'm crease in attendance this year, for there are about 600 delegates in attendance and the association convened Monday afternoon with Pres.

Provide Suitable Boxes.

By direction of the Post Office Department, the attention of pa trons of this office is invited to the advantages of providing ia cilities for the receipt of their mail by erecting conveniently ac- cessible boxes or cutting suitable slots in their doors. Such action would enable the postmaster tc give a prompter and better de livery service with the means at his disposal, since the carriers can cover much more territory in less time If not compelled to wait for an answer to their ring. Private receptacles for mail are also a great convenience to the householder, obyiating the necessity of responding to the carrier 'scall at inconv enient mo- ments and permitting the safe delivery of mail in the absence of members of the household. They also prevent the occasional necessity of a carriers proceed ing on his route without deliver ing mail because of failure to an- swer his ring within a reason able time, and enable him to make deliveries to patrons living on or near the end of the route a. an early hour.
 It has been shown by actual experience that the benefits de- rived by patrons of city delivery from the use of such receptacles far outweigh the small expense involved. As this office is inter ested i'm furnishing the best pos sible service at the least expense, your compliance with the forego- ing suggestions will be much ap- preciated.
 Respectfully,
 J. w. Grubbs,
 Postmaster.

MOTHER WINS
 SUIT AGAINST SON
Supreme Court Settles Title To Home In Mother Affirming
 Lower Court.

A case which was appealed from the chancery court of Independ-
 ence county and in which there
 was quite a lot of local interest
 was that of Charles B. Maxwell
 vs. Mrs. Mary E. Maxwell, which
 was decided in the supreme court 1 Monday.
 I The case originated in Bates
 vile when Mrs. Maxwell, who is
 one of the city s most highly re- spected and elderly ladies, filed
 a blll in the Independence chan
 cery court, seeking to have a
 certain deed which she had exc
 cuted to her son, Charley Max we'll, annulled and held of no eff feet, alleging in her petition that the deed was obtained through false representation and deceit, and the exercise of undue i'm fluence upon her.
 The property conveyed by the deed was the home of Mrs. Max well i'm West Batesville, and the case was rather stubbornly con- tested in the chancery court, one of the surprising and interesting features being the fact that 1t was the first case on the records of the county, and perhaps the state, in which mother and son were in litigation over the moth- CTS home. The case was heard by Chancellor Humphries, and he decreed that the deed be set aside and the title to the home be quieted in Mrs. Maxwell. From this decsiion the son, Chas. E. Maxwell, appealed to the supreme court, where the judgment of Chancellor Humphries was in all things affirmed.
 s. M. Casey represented Mrs. Maxwell in the litigation, while McCaleb & Reeder were MT. Max wells attorneys. Batesville Guard.

 S EXCEPTIONS IN TIME
Tom O'Neal Must Serve Out Three Year Term In State
 Penitentia1y.

The murder case of the State vs Tom O'Neal, which was tried at BHesville on a change of ve- me from Newport, was before the supreme court Monday where the appeal was dismissed for the reason that the bill of ex- ceptions was not signed in the time prescribed, the court hold ing that there was nothing before the court.
 O'Nealls trial in the circuit court in this city resulted in a verdict of manslanghter and he was sentenced to three years i'm prigonment. Many who heard the trial were of the opinion that no appeal would be taken, as the punishment was considered light. ONeal's neglect in perfecting his appeal will be the indirect,f not direct cause of his being com pelled to serve his term in the penitentiary, as there is always a possibility of g reversal where an appeal is. lodged.

 Fort Smith, March 27.- That the Southern Pacific Railway and the Union Pacific Railway are considering the feasibility of joining these routes with the con- meeting link in Fort Smith be- came known today, when engir- eers representing both companies arrived in this city to study con- ditions.

because of race and religious dis
crimination in the granting of pass
ports to American citizens, demanded
in resolutions framed by Representa-
tive Sulzer Of New York and Senator
Culberson OF Texas, was discussed in
a speech In the house today by the
former.
MT Sulzer is chairman OF the foreign

reported his bill favorably. He de
clafed that for nearly half century
Russia had persistently refused to live
UP to the treaty or to recognize pass
ports Of American citizens without
discrimination on account Of race or
religions. He declared it was ques-
tion that affected the rights of all
American citizens and that Russia not
only refused to recognize American
passports held by Jews, but those OF
Baptist missionaries, Catholic priests
and Presbyterian divines.
