JUDGE GRACE
 IS SUSTAINED Attorney Nixon Fails to Get Mandamus Writ Frorn
 Supreme Court IN ELECTION CASES Judge Grace COntended the Law As Left to Discretion of Court in
 Such Matters.
IN ELECTION CASES

The Supreme Court of Arkansas yes- terday denied the application of Dts trict Attorney T. Havis Nixon, of this city, in which he sought to secure a writ of mandamus to compel Judge A. B. Grace, of the Jefferson circuit court
 to t(sue process against various Pine Bluffians who have been i.,dict- ed for alleged election frauds in the First ward. In handing down it's opinion, the Supreme court upholds Judge Grace in issuing process in the cases in which the defendants were indicted on perjury charge, ald at the same time sustains his action in refusing to isue process in cases grow ing out of other charges and affecting the same parties.
 Judge Grace's main reason for re- fusing to issue process in the same ceses, involving other charges. was that it would be an unnecessary ev- pense to the taxpayers of the coun- ty, and especially when one bond in each case insured the appearance Of the defendants in court at the prop CT time flor trial.
 In his response before the Supreme Court, presented by Col. s. M. Tay- Tor, his counsel, Judge Grace contend ed that in this matter he did as has always been hisl custom to do, di- rect process in only one case and that he had intended all the time and still intends to see that process is issued in some of the election fraud cases at the proper time. that they may be docketed for trial. !udge Grace construed the law to be that it was left to his discretion as to when and what kind of process should is- sue.
 On the otherhand District Attorney Nixon asked for the writ of mandaln- us On the grounds that no persons in d'cted cen have his case placed On trial until after process has been is- sued and served, and that no proc Ass can issue except upon the order Of the court. He contended that tie statute is mandatory and net let to the discretion of the court. He ar gued that the state would be grear.y by any delay of the trial. for the reason that witnesses ray die or leave the jurisdiction of the court
 Judge Frauenthal handed down the opinion, Judge Kirby dissenting.

Took Several Drinks and Had to be Sent to Davis Hospital For Treatment.

Charles Murray alias Red a white man who says he is a machinist, but of whom the local authorities know little, was arrested yesterday morn- ing By Deputy Constable w. \. Branson on charge of grand lar- ceny and was committed to jail by

TOM JOANSON'S
 CAREER ENDS Man Who Gave Life For a Principle Passes Away at Home in Cleveland
FOUR TIMES MAYOR
Served as Congressman From Ohio Distrfct-Family at His
 Bedside.
International News Special ?

International News Special
 Cleveland, Ohio, April 10-Tom l.. Johnson, four times mayor of Cleve- iand and former Congressman of this district, died at SAY o'clock tonight in his fifty-seventh year.
 His end came as his weeping fam fly sat around his bedside at the White Hall. They had expected death at any instant since MT. John son was drugged into a fitful sleep Sunday night MT. Johnson's last conscious words were said at 2's0 o'clock this morning. "Oh I feel so gcod,' he murmered, his lips just tracing the words. T had such pleas ant dreams. Everything is alright I seem so happy
 Mr. Johnson lay in the border line between life and death for twenty-four hours before death won him. The coma which preceded this was the sign that cirrahosis of the liver and Bright's disease had run their course. Mrs. Johnson, herself i'll with grief. his two children, Mrs. Elizabeth Ma riani and Loftin Johnson, and Mrs. Loftin Johnson were the devoted family group at the bedside whep MT. Tobcco1sc hrno hi ofpppod
 While funeral arrangements have not been made the body will probably lie in state for day and a public service will be held. The !nterment VII be made in New York, where MT. Johnsou's parents and his hrcth- CT are, buried.
 Sunday, when every moment was expected to be his last, MT. Johnson weakly asked that four letters, witch he had dictated some days before, he brought to him. Proped up he laboriously signed his naae and then fell back exhausted. These let tersi go to four of his best friends keepsakes from the man who gave his life for his hobby, three cent fare.
 That Mir. Johnson sacrificed his life for his principle is certain. H. had been ailing from cirrahosi: of the liver for years and was told by the physicians that he must quit active work for a while and take treatment, but he was in the midst of his figh. for three cent fare and refused to stop. Finally, beaten in his fifth 9ght for mayor, he yielded to illness and went to New York for treatment but it was too late. Cleveland peo- ple ride on their street cars for three cents, but they have lost th ? man who did more for the common people than any other citizen.

 Ones Installed
JORDAN TAKES REINS
Says He is For City Beautiful and Wants to Improve the Sanitary
 Conditions of Pine Bluff.

Many surprises were sprung last night at the meeting of the new City Council. Men who have been in the city service for years were busted and new men, in many instances men who had not even been mention ed as applicants, put in their places The chief surprise of the evening was the election of E. c. Stanley, who was busted by Mayor Jordan when he appointed Evan Parnell chief of police, position Stanley held for several years, to the office of street commissioner to succeed Clarence Collier. The latter with about nine teen others sought the job. The posi-. tion pays $126 peS month, fifteen dollars more than the position for merly held my Stanley.
 Other surprises of equal inter est throughout the city occurred after the Council had gone into executive session to consider the many applica- tions for p1ums A. F. Turney was elected city sanitarian to fill the va cancy caused by the promotion of Evan Parnell. There were sixteen applicants for this job. It pays $75 per month R. M. Fulenweiler, who was elected city engineer by the Council few months ago when City Engineer Hale resigned also lost out. There we're several applicants be- sides himself seeking that position, but the council elected F. R. Allen, who was an assistant under Fulen. weller, to the place. This position pays $125 month.
 Dr. W. T. Lowe. partner of Mayor A. c. Jordan, was elected city physi- cisn to succeed Dr. W. H. Rlanken. ship, at salary of s65 per month. A. A. Harper, the we'll known loca, florist, was elected sexton of Belf- wood cemetery to succeed W. l.. Bar ton. The latter has held that posi- tion. which carries with it salary of $S5 month, for some years. A large sum of money is realized monthly by the sexton for caring for private lots in the cemetery and the position is said to be one of the most lucrative in the city service. A. G. Russell. who has held the position of city col yector for some yearss land which nays about $2.500 year, was re- elected by the council. It is said that he had no opposition, which would hIave been useless for his election was foregone conclusion.

CLEAN UP WEEK
 ON IN EARNEST City Teams Covered Much Territory and Many Loads
 Are Carted Away
THE CITY BEAUTIFUL,
Ladies CO-Operating-Urged Proper ty Owners Aid City Employees
 to Avoid Delay.

Four teams attached to as many large wagons began work early yes- terday morning of cleaning up Pine Bluff. In accordance with a pro- clamation issued few weeks ago by Mayor w. L. Toney the force of men in charge of the wagons found the alleys choked full of trash and rub bish, which had been placed there by residents needing the proclamation ordering a clean up of yards. The work went on nicely yesterday and a large amount of territory was cOv- cred by the city employees.
 Alleys between Barraque street and Second avenue and between Sec ond and Third avenues, west of Main street to the city limits, were visited by the wagons and much rubbish hauled away. Street Commissioner Clarence H. Collier stated last night that several additional teams would be put to work today to assist the others
 The ladies of the City Beautiful Club, who were instrumental in se- curing this week of cleaning up, were pleased with the manner in which, many residents complied with the pro clamation. They noticed that many yards have heen cleaned up within the last few weeks. They are request ing that all residents clean up both their front and back yards at once, and place the trash in some kind of recepticle in the alley at the rear of their homes, in order that the city trash wagons will get it without delay
 Street Commissioner Clarence Col Her stated yesterday that the job of hauling away the trash would not be near so difficult if citizens would CO., operate with the city. That is, if they would clean up the yards at once, to avoid holding up the work, as there is no telling into what dis tricts the wagons will go each day The trash should be placed in some kind of box or garbage can, to do away with men driving the wagons having to rake the trash into piles in the alley before they can load it on the wagons. And by all means ev- erybody should comply with the pre- clamation. The city officials intend to make this clean up one that will result in making the city more beau- tiful. They are going to have the yards cleaned if they have to bring citizen into police court. This will be done unless the proclamation is complied with
 Mrs. Lee Fox and a committee of ladies were Tn the court house yard yesterday and spent some time plant ing flowers on the dirt mounds re- gently built by orders of County Judge c. M. Philpot. The west side of court square will be especially attractive when the grass comes up and the flowers grow. The children of Sixth Avenue School are planting flowers on the grounds.
 The ladies of City Beautiful Club are very anxious that. rental agents, handling houses in the city, see that

DE- lAssY ON VERGE
Of NERVOUS COLLAPSE
STRAIN OF TYPEWRITER TESTS
TELLS ON MAN CHARGED
WITH MURDER or WiFE's
FATHER

ST. PETERSBURG. February t.
A mass of Irrelevant testimony. that
would not have been permitted in an
American court, was adduced to-day
against DIR. Ivan Pantehenko and Count
Patrick rBrien De Lassy. Jointly charg-
ed with the murder of couth vasilli
Bouturlin. DeLassy's brother in law.
This testimony concerned the gener-
ally disreputable character of DR.. Pant
chenkos practice and numerous alleged
swindies by De Lassy.
Such evidence Ia always admissible
in Russia courts and it Is believed that
to days developments will have great
influence with the Jury.
Several witnesses testified that De
Lassy had engaged in crooked deals
on the strength Of the wealth of Gen.
eral Bouturiin. his father law. to
increase his wife's inheritance from
whom De Lassy Ii accused Of plotting
the death OF Count Bouturiin. De
Lassy was on the verge of a nervous
collapse To-day. following the strain
of yesterdays typewriting tests. when
the prosecution sought to show that
he wrote letter to Pantchenko re-
lative TO the latter's administering OF
diptheria germs to Bouturlin. His case
was strengths, by the disagreement OF
experts as to whether the letter was
written on his typewriter.
