two old records, made new ones or

Bill Rice who had been doped to
win hammer throw or something
else, but not much. In fact Kane
hameha was to have everything that
was worth while and Oahu was to
get most of what was left, according
to the dope sheets. Rice was fit.
He had won five events and to the
surprise of his admirers entered for
the $50 yards dash and won. All of
the winnings by Rice go to the credit
of Hawaii College which scored forty

Kamehameha twenty four. Con-

lieved that Kamehameha would win

Boards Raising Taxes.

Special to Independent,
 | Little Rock, Oct. 3.David A. Gates of the Arkansas Tax Commission reports that the equalization boards all over the state are doing good work, Much new property is being put on the tax books. The Commis- sion itself has added about $12,- O0O,OOO in railroad, telephone and pipe lines, which is their pc culiar jurisdiction. This in crease is not quite so large as it was two years ago, but the av- craze will be more than made up by the action of the Boards The increase two years ago was S48,000,0o0 and this figure should be exceeded this year. Next year the real estate will again be assessed. and MT. Gates estimates that that should make the grand aggregate for the state in 1912 about S4e0, ,00J,0O0. which will bring about the first reduction in the tax rate on the sliding scale prescribed by the Turner-Jacobson bill should that be ratified by the people.
 As an example, the Crawford county board, consisting of J. T. Jones, w. c. Furry and Addis Bryan, the latter a republican, is adding about one million dol lars to the taxable values of the county. Clark, Phillips and oth- CT counties are equally active, and half million to the county is not considered an excessive estimate. At least two-thirds of the boards were selected through the advice and sugges- tions of the county judges, who are for the most part working hand-in-hand with the Equaliz- CTS.

 The shooting occurred about a half mile from Marianna. De- putty Yarbrough came out of his home with a shotgun when he heard the drunken negroes ap- preaching. When he threatened them with arrest both negroes opened fire, using automatic pis- tols, three shots taking effect.

Bridge Repaired For $9OO.

At a regular session of the council Monday evening, the scrip for lumber and labor upon the Lake bridge repairing was allowed, totaling only about $500 in scrip issued at 60 cents on the dollar.
 As the city's job cost only about S4 per thousand for lay ing lumber and material and the best bid received was SIS, the council had a right to feel pleas led over the cost of the improve ment.
 The report of the sewer com missioners was received, but nc action taken upon same. Cur. rent bills were allowed and af- ter a short session, adjournment was taken.

FRANK WALKER
 MUST HANG
Young Man Had Been Confident Of New Trial In Appeal
 to Supreme Court.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Oct. 3.-The Ar kansas supreme court has de- !creed that Frank J. Walker, a |young white man of twenty
 eight years, must pay the -ex- treme penalty of the law for the murder of Sam Smith, at Dell,
 Mississippi county, May 4, 1911.
 He was originally sentenced to
 be hanged last July, but an ap- peal was taken to the supreme court, and the case was decided yesterday. Chief Justice Me- Culloch rendered the opinion, and declared that he could find no reversible error in the pro- ceedings of the lower court. Walker had been confident oI
 a new trial al the time, and the
 fact that now nothing save the
 clemency of the governor stas.ds l between him and the death pen atty, the blow was a heavy ore
 Walker claimed self-defense, and that he shot only to protect hin1- self when general attack was made upon him in a barber shop l at Dell conducted by Hiram 1 Smith, a brother of Sam Smith. I The quarrel arose over the I fact that Walker, who IS a member of several other lodges, had been black-balled when he
 made application for member ship in the local Odd Fellows Lodge. Walker accused Smith
 of having dropped in the black ball, but Smith replied that he
 was not the. only one. Sam Smith, a farmer, witnessed the
 altercation, and insisted that Walker leave the shop, where
 upon, according to the testimo-
 ny, Walker pulled pistol and
 fired several shots at Sam Smith, killing him. As Walker
 ran out, Hiram Smith fired sev-
 eral shots at Walker, who sub
 sequently surrendered to the
 officers.

DONAGHEY FREE
 WITH PARDONS
Grants Fourteen Petitions Out Out of Thirty-Three Con-
 sidered
Special to Independent.

Especial to Independent.
 Little Rock, Oct. 3.-Govern-
 or Donaghey had another busy
 time Monday passing on thirty three petitions for pardon, granting fourteen of them. No very important cases were on the list of applications, but some of the cases were decided l ly interesting. Lillian Irby of Yell county, perjury, was grant, ed pardon. This was granted because the girl Irby was to,and did marry, had told others she was of legal age, a statement which Irby later backed with his oath.
 Will Vance, serving 3 long term on the Pulaski county farm, was also pardoned. His crime was petit larceny. James Ryans, Yell county, grand lar ceny, was pardoned on the peti- tion of a large number of citl- zens of that county. James Thomas, another inmate of the Pulaski county farm, on a lar ceny charge, received executive clemency. Because she was not the aggressor, and acted in self defense, Bertha Sanders, serv- ing time on the Jefferson coun- | ty farm, was pardoned. Del
 mar Smith, another petit farce l ny county farm case, from Cle- burne county, likewise received a pardon. This was restored citizenship, the term having been served.
 On the recommendation of the trial judge and prosecuting attorney, Lige Hardin, serving a year from Woodruff county for embezzlement, was permit 1 ted to go free. T. Gunter, Franklin county, murder in the third degree, with five years to serve, was pardoned on account ! of the time already served be- ing considered sufficient. Bert Sheets and Perry Treddon, petit larceny cases, the prisoners be- ing on the Pulaski county farm, were pardoned upon the petition of deputy prosecuting attorney and justice who tried them. George Franklin had his citi- zenship restored.
 Robbie Jones, a 14-year-old boy, was granted a pardon on an assault to rape charge from Pope county, the year he has served in the penitentiary being considered sufficient punish ment. The governor also re- moved the jail sentence from the punishment of I. w. Wood, Carroll county. He was convict ed of assault.
 Charles F. Lewis, a Yell county township official, was re- l lieved of a forfeiture amountiY2 10 $53. Lewis arrested man for dynamiJing fish, and out of
 the goodness of his heart, re fused to put him in jail, taking
 his note, with the endorsement of two others, for the fine. The endorsers, as well as the princi- pal, absconded, leaving the off cer with a note upon which he
 could not collect.
