has been twice married, and Is
the father of six children, three
by his first wife and three by the pres
ent Mrs. Edison. He is the fortunate
possessor of two homes, one in New
Jersey and the other in Florida. The
latter part of each Winter is usually
spent in the Florida home. which is
located at Fort Myers. and reminds
one a good deal in the arrangement of
the rooms of the one at Llewellyn Park,
n. J. The New Jersey dwelling, how
ever. which he calls "Glenmont," is
much more pretentious, and is an eX-
ceedingly attractive residence. 1t is
situated on the higher slopes of orange
Mountain, and is built of brick and
stone in the Queen Anne style of three
stories, with gables and balconies, big,
Yet with plenty of cosy corners, and has
a rambling. easy freedom about it emf

l or > o'clock in the morning, pulling
at his eyebrows, as is his custom when
in earnest conversation. quoting things
pertinent to the subject or telling with
great guSto some new story Edison
has a decided gift with the pencil, and
always has pad of paper handy. Ere
quently while talking he will amuse
himself with making fancy bits of pen
manship, twisting his signature into
circles and squares, with his lines as
true as die. This hardness with the
pencil he frequently employs in explain
ing some point which he finds it diff
cult to make clear to his listener. Late
into the night as these conversations
may be prolonged--and it is generally
well-nigh impossible to get Edison to
bed-he is always on hand, serene,
brisk. clear-eyed and Drained, in
the morning, to greet any visitor. no
matter at what early hour that guest
may elect to appear, and entirely ready
to take up the conversation just where
he dropped it the night before.

Be it resolved, that on this birthday

LATE LEGISLATIVE DOINGS
County Depository Biii for Polk and Scott Counties Up Friday Plpkin
 Introduces Two.

Special to The Star.
 Little Rock, Jan. 26.-Senate bill providing for county Repositories for Polk and Scott counties, introduced by Senator Logan. is made a special order of business for Friday morningl January 27.
 Representative W. M. Pipkin has introduced two bills. The first is to amend the act of 1909. compelling railroads to fence their right of ways so as to include Polk county under it's provisions. The second is a bill com polling all primaries for all offices to be held, thus forcing each party into it's own primary instead. of participating in those of the opposing party.
 In the House Toler introduced an act creating state highway commis- slon and abolishing the state land de partment in 1914. Gov. Rice intro duced a bill closing saloons from ( O clock in the evening until 6 o'clock in the morning. (This was not, it is thought. aimed directly at Mena).
 The House passed the Pinney bill 80 to 2. permitting any citizen to in spect books of county officers.

PIPKIN'S PRIMARY BILL
Proposed Election Law by Polk Couuty's Representative Attracting Much
 Attention.

Little Rock, Jan. 6.-Under the bill introduced by Representative W. M. Pipkin in the legislature, which is receiving more than usual considera- ton, all political parties desiring to have nominees in the general state election, must choose them at gen. eral primary and there would be no state conventions for the naming of candidates for office. The date set for uniform primary is the fourth Monday in March.
 At present no political party in Ar kansas except the Democratic. holds a primary election. The others, if they select nominees at all, do so at a state convention called for this pur- pose.
 MT. Pipkin believes that a uniform primary would eliminate much cleo tion fraud, prevent persons of one DO litical faith taking part in the primary of fanother party, and work generally to purify the ballot The bill is very comprehensive, but provides that the uniform primary shall be held in close conformity to the laws governing gem eral elections and by the same election machinery. Each voter will be given ballot containing the names of the candidates of his particular party and will vote only for candidates thereon.
 The bill has been placed on it's second reading and 800 copies ordered printed.

PLEASE DON'T KILL
 HE, MR. HOUPT?''
Sensational Testimony Given in Habeas Corpus Proceeding Opened by Of ficers Charged With Murder
 of Oscar Chitwood.

Hot Springs, Ark. Jan 25 Revolt ing details of the killing of the mana cled prisoner. Oscar Chitwood, given by the county prisoners confined in the jail at the time, before the secret session of the coroner's jury, were made public today for the first time when this testimony was given in open court. The hearing on the ap- plication for writ of habeas corpus which was filed by Rutherford and Murray, the accused men, was the occasion.
 One prisoner testified that John Rutherford, who was the guard over Chitwood, did not appear to be drunk when he entered the jail after the prisoner, but he seemed to have had several hypodermics, he was shak- | ing so hard. Another testified that when Chitwood was led, handcuffed, to the door of the jail which opens out onto the stockade built around the Poe gallows, he saw the dark form of another man outside the jail door. Chitwood hesitated, but was pushed out of the jail by Rutherford, who cried, Go on out, that is the man who is to take you to the city jail. :" A scuffle was heard outside of the jail door and high pitched voice cried out several times in agohized terror, "Ohl don't do that, please, please, please don't do that
 Don't kill me that way he said Please, Mir. Houpt, give me chance and a trial. -
 The prisoner testified that it was Oscar Chitwood making this appeal and with the reply. ''I'll give you that. = you" the pistol shots rang out and the body of the dead man was heard falling upon the concrete steps.
 Houpt is the name of the sheriff, but he has several brothers and it might have been one of these or some one else whom Chitwood took to be one of the Houpts that caused the prisoner to call out Houpt's name.
 The hearing will continue through out the day and Rutherford and Mur- ray the men held by the coroner's S l. jury and who are now seeking their re- lease on bail, will be placed on the stand again some time today.

FUR STATE ROADS
OKLAHOMA LEGISLATURE IS CON- slDERING CONSTRUCTION
 OF STATE RAILWAYS.
STATE CONSTITUTION PERMITS II
Federation of Labor Pushing Project -ls Supported by Socialists-$1o,- ooo,ooo Would Be Required to Start Work.

Oklahoma City, Ok, Jan. 27.--lt is not probable that the state legislature will pass any laws at this session to further the demands of the state fed eration of labor for the building of two railroad lines by the state. It is probable however, that the people will be allowed to vote on an initiated bill providing for state-owned railroads.
 State ownership Is possible under the constitution and the federation of labor is determined that the voters of the state shall be allowed to declare their wishes in the matter. The SO cialist party has expressed a willing ness to support all measures put for ward by the federation of labor and a vote is now being taken in the so. cialist locals on this point
 A bill embodying the federations plans is being drawn. It contemplates a commission of three persons, which shall direct the surveys and the loca- tion of the lines, the results then to be submitted to the state corporation commission for it's approval If this approval should be obtained the pro posed law then would direct the gov ernor to call special election for the acceptance or rejection of the scheme by the people, who. at the same time, would authorize a state bond issue for construction.
 The supporters of this measure say that the undertaking would require a bond issue of probably $10,000000 The lines are proposed to run from Northwestern to extreme Southeast ern Oklahoma, through Oklahoma City The section northwest of Okla homa City would traverse region rich in agriculture and live stock, while the section southeast of Okla bcma City would tap the richest tim Der and mineral resources of the state.
 Another line would extend south from Oklahoma City, parallel with one Of the old trunk lines, to Texas, where it is believed there would be co-opera. ton by the people of that state with Oklahoma in controlling freight rates. This line is looked upon as of most importance, .or the reason that it would establish a direct connection with Gulf water transportation.

 Creditors iu Burt Todd Case.

The objections made by the credit ors of Burt Todd, to the allowing of the claims of J. F. Todd. his father, for about $2200. were overruled last week by L. H. Southmayd, referee in bankruptcy at Fort Smith. The claims were for the payment of note of $500 and interest and $425 house rent due Capt. Todd for the use of one of his houses.
 It is thought by some of the credit ors that about 40 per cent of the in- debtedness against Burt Todd will Dc paid.
