To Rodgers and The President also
belongs the peculiar distinction Of
having fought for so hours in abso-

the fact that the engagement in ques-
ton took place in the Norway lati-
tudes where perpetual daylight exists
at a certain season Of the year. It

Los Angeles, Nov. 9. With
Brewster C. Kenyon, a. million

ready to accept ]: B. Sexton, a
very wealthy orange grower who
had previously been passed by the
defense, the prospects were good,
when the Mcnamara case was
continued today, that the nine
seats still vacant would he filled
within the week and the second
exercising of peremptory chal-.
lenges would be begun. The de-
Tense still has IS peremptories
and the state eight.
Kenyon is almost certain to re-
main permanently, as he is high
type. He is an educated man, a
former major in the. Spanish war,
and plainly impartial. He told
Darrow,he had had no great opin-
ion of General Otis, or was he
impressed with his worth as a
citizen and he told the state his
prejudice against Otis would not
make him biased against the
states case.
Sexton is also very prominent
citizen but the state is a trifle
afraid of him because he says he
would not convict on circumstan-
tial evidence unless it were abso-
lutte. i

Mob Violence Again

The fair name of Arkansas is once again smirched by a crowd of thoughtless and most likely degenerate men and boys. At Benton Friday night a negro minstrel show from New Orleans In charge of a white man showed in that city. Some numbers in the play were not very good and resulted in ridicule. Shortly after the show crowd followed the negroes on their way to their boarding house rocking them ect. Overtaking them at the railroad they beat one negro man to death and beat another man severely and cut two women.
 The information at hand shows no provocation for the deed and such men as would be guilty of such crime should be exiled or sufficiently locked up where they will not come in contact with the younger boys who are around them. The prosecuting Atty promises to make it hot for the mob if they can be detected.
