 Little Rock.-After hearing the pe- titions of both sides, Governor Dona- gbey issued a pardon to Robert Arm strong, a negro convicted and sen tenced to be hanged September 27, for an attack on Miss Ella Hardcas- tie the night of October A, 1911. Af- ter considering all the evidence sub mitted and the transcript in the case, together with a letter purported to have been written by J. B. Brown, Jack the Shooter" Governor Dona- ghey declared that there was such doubt in the case as to require him to interfere with the verdict of the courts.
 The final proof on which the gov ernor based his action was the letter in the handwriting of Brown, the al legged Jack the Shooter" who con fessed to having committed the deed In reviewing the transcript, however, Governor Donaghey, said that Miss Hardcastle's identification of Arm strong was by lighted match, which was allowed to burn only a few sec onds. The governor. said that this vas insufficient to fix the indentifica- tion properly, and though he believed Miss Hardcastle was honest in her conviction that Armstrong was the man, he doubted if her identification was sufficient, in view of the alibi proved by Armstrong and the Jack the Shooter" letter.
 This is the first time within recent years, at least, when a man sentenced to be hanged has Eeen absolutely pardoned. There have been cases where communication of sentence has been granted, and the man so spared from the moose finally has been par doned. but no case of the uncondi. tional pardon of a man sentenced to be hanged.
 Governor Hung in Effiey.
 Three effigies of Gov. George W. Donaghey greeted the eyes of the citj zens of Little Rock as they came to their places of business the morning after the pardoning of the negro Arm | strong, one in the vicinity of the Union station, another on Center | street, at the corner of the alley be | tween Markham and Second streets and the other on the free bridge mid way between Little Rock and Argenta.
 All three of the dummies were made rom clothing stuffed with straw, two of them having placards attached. The efflgy on Center street was cut down by Sheriff Norman A. Beller, on his way to the courthouse about o'clock. Two signs were attached to the effigy one above and the other below, bear ing an insulting inscription. This dummy was removed to the sheriff's office, where it has since reposed.
 Thomas Doyle, watchman on the free bridge, had his attention called to the effigy on the bridge while going to work and removed it. It is thought the deed was done by persons who dis approve of Governor Donaghey's ac. tion in releasing the negro, Robert Armstrong, who was tried and con. victed on charge of assault. The effigy near the Union station was re. moved in the morning, but did not have a placard attached.

 channel of the Mississippi river and it's tributaries. The importance of the project con be seen from a clipping cut of the Saturday Evening Post which is as follows:
 "The Mississippi Valley system com prises 16,000 miles of navigable rivers from Pittsburg, Chicago and Omaha to St. Louis and New Orleans. The Hartman system comprises 18,000 miles of rail, from Portland, San Frau. cisco and Los Angeles to Omaha and New Orleans. The investment in the Hartman system, comprising face value of securities outstanding in the hands of the public, considerably ex- ceeds one billion dollars, while mar, ket value is much in excess of face value. In population and wealth the territory it serves is, of course, much less than the Mississippi valley.
 "If 18,000 miles of rail lying west of the Missouri river are worth rough 1y, say, a billion and a half, what might 16,00o miles of improved water, way in the valley be worth? The question is pertinent because such figures as fifty or one hundred mil lion dollars for waterway improve ment frightens many people.
 "As for investment in equipment, a modern ocean freighter costs about $70 for each ton of carrying capacity: lake boat about $40 ton; river steamer and borges only SIP ton.
 'The railroads have completely cap- tured the country's inland carrying trade and have it highly organized in their own interest. Something more than merely digging channels will be necessary to get trade for the rivers. St. Louis rail-borne. traffic exceeds 50,000,000 tons, while her river-borne traffic has fallen below 100000 tons No doubt freight rates on the fifty odd million tons have been affected, beneficially. to St. Louis, by water competition"
 This deep water project is of the greatest importance to the people of Arkansas as the state is situated iD the Mississippi Valley and the M1ssis- sppi river forms the eastern boundary cf the state. In addition to this Is the fac, Arkansas has more miles o
