ENGINEERS ARE
 TAKING AN INTER ST
In The Instruction Car That Wil.><, Operated Over the Cotton Belt
 for Their Benefit,

w. H. Graves, well known Cot ton Belt engineer, left last night for points south on the Cotton Belt where he will endeavor to interest the firemen and engineers at the diff ferent division points tn am organi- zation for the purpose of equipping a car of instruction for the benefit of the enginters of the Cotton Belt sys- tenn.
 Mr. Graves is being assisted by the international committee of the Y. M. c. A. in his efforts to perfect the or ganization> and Miss Helen Miller Gould has also given notice of CO., operation in the project and will give the sum of $1,OO0 toward equippina the instruction car.
 The men of several eastern roads have formed an organization for the instruction of the firemen and en- gineers and a car is equipped with all the parts of an engine for the pur- pose of instructing the men in the their work. The Cotton Belt off cials have notified the men behind the project that they will give free use of their tracks and allow the men to control the itinerary of the car.

Y. M. c. A. Basketball Teams Will Contest For
 Championship at ""
WILSON IS AFTER IT
Pine Bluff, JOnesbOrO and Stamps Are to Play Two Games Each
 How the "D0pe' Reads.

Pine Bluff is assured the boys state basket ball tournament A com mitte3sof business men who are keen- ly interested in the basket ball situa- tion yesterday advised Physical Direc- tor G. D. Wilson, of the Y. M. C. A., to go ahead and bid for the tourna, ment The other teams all prfer to play in Pine Bluff, so this practical ly assures the contests being pulled off in this city.
 Pine Bluff, Stamps and Jonesboro are all tied up fer the state cham pionship. These teams will probably be given an opportunity of meeting each other two games each. The coach of each team feels that his team will carry off the honors in the series and some interesting contests will be seer(
 The leaders have defeated Stamps three games, Jcneshoro has beaten the leaders two games and Stamps has defeated Jonesboro two games. These three teams will meet each other twice during the tournament. This will make three games a day. So far as Pine Bluff dopists are concern cd, Stamps is somewhat of'"an un- known quantity with their new line up. One new man has been put on their team, however Max Brown, who was the downfall of Jonesboro. was held down nicely by the leader guards. The new man, Brown, at centers has never been seen in action by the Pine Bluff lads, but since meeting Stamps the leaders have added.a new man in Few, which will courterbalance any improvement in the Htamps line up.
 Both Stamps and Pine Bluff know pretty we'll the Jonesbcro style of play. Pine Bluff did not make a point against Jonesboro 7H the last half here, both points being secured on awards. This is almost a fluke. There would not probably be a mans team in the state that could prevent the leaders making point in Fifteen minutes, ordinarily. This is just some of the dope which runs in~ Circle. Any way it is figured the tournament will give local fans an opportunity to see all three teams ill action and they can figure for themselves.

SENSATIONS IN
 THE SNEAD CASE Lynn Boyce Sprang at Law yer When He Asked Mo-
 ther QuNstion. TROUBLE IS AVOIDED Woman With Big Handbag Also Creates Scene and is Made to
 Leave COurt Room.
TROUBLE IS AVOIDED

Fort Worth, Teas, Feb. 19.-The smouldering intense feeling at the Snead trial burst like volcano to- day when Lynn Boyce, the youngest son of Capt. A. c. Boyco, killed hc,re January 13 by J. B. Snead, made n desperate attempt to avenge himse!f upon w. P. Mclean attorney for the defense. Boyce's aged mother was on the stand. ost of the time with evident effort she controlled herself and answered all questions. In her testimony she declared that Capt. l Boyce, instead of leading a conspir- acy to unite Albert Boyce, Jr., and Mrs. Lena Snead, made continual and strenuous efforts to separate <hem. Attorney Mclean had asked Tome pertinent question.
 Lynn Boyce, sitting fifteen feet stick with knife He frequently nervously and frowned. Enddenly Mclean asked:
 Don't you believe, Mrs. Boyca, that a man who has. disgraced and run over father and mother, steal ing another mans wife and killing his little children should be placed in a sanitarium or penitentiary? He referred to Alhert Boyee.
 The question was hardly out of the lawyers mouth when the six foot Panhandle .cattleman sprang over chairs and made a grab for Me- Lean. Six Dn-s< of hands dashed him back, however, and after "a struggle he desisted and sat down quietly. Judge Swayne fined him $100 and sentenced him to serve an hour in jail. He was ordered to leave the court room also. Later Young Boyce met McL3an ]nd both apolo- gized.
 Mrs. Boyce kept her composure through the excitement. and even sent a bottle of camphcm to her tsol, seeking to quiet him. The question was never answered. The state resi- ed it's rebuttal evidenc today. Will and Boyc was present during the ex- citement today, but made no demon- stration. Snead, who sat within a few feet of Boyce, became ghastly pale.
 Another sensation developed to-. day when a woman appeared at the court room, carrying large hand bag. Officers attempted to search it for firearms and she desisted, max ing considerable noise and interrupt ing the trial. Finally Judge Swayrt ordered her to leave the room. Then she made several harsh remarks to the judge. eXclaiming that he had wrecked her home by granting her husband a divorce two years ag7 Her name is Mrs. Mary Wray

GATTY SELLARS
 "A GREAT ORGANISE

The organ recital by Gatty Sellars, the great English organist, Sunday af- ternoon and last night lat the First Presbyterian church. was one of the most important musical affairs of the season. The spacious church was filled 10 overflowing at the afternoon program butt tat night many were lit crafty turned away.
 The beautiful coronation music was the feature on the program, but the many compositions of the organist were also favorable mentioned by those attending. In the rendition of "'Ehe Stolm," the lights were turned low and the piece was most realistic and as has been said, MT. 'Sellars is indeed master of his instrument.
 The lighter music was as deftly played as the heavy pieces and the numbers in which the chimes were used were very beautiful.

 In Struggle.
RlAPIDITY OF SHOTS

Memphis, Tenn., Feb. 19.-Little progress was made today in the case against J. J. Hughes, charged with first degree murder. Much delay was occasioned in the morning by late ar. rivals of trains, which brought wifi nesSes from Arkansas to testify in be half of Hughes.
 The defense had it's first real inning i'll &lhe afternoon when John JasproW- CT, postoffice employe and n school mate of Hughes, took the stand and testified as to the number of shots fir ed at the time Dolan was killed where the shooting occurred, testified that there was an interval between the first and second shots of several seconds. He said he was in the hotel lobby downstairs when Hughes was brought down from upstairs by the police and that Hughes collar was torn loose and he showed signs of having had a struggle with someone. Jasprower says the other three shots were fired in quick succession.
 George T. O'Haver Was the most important witness of the day. He is head of a detective agency bearing his name. He testified regarding Hughes lost diamond, saying Hughes had been ill his office shortly before the shooting making inquiries in re- gard to the diamond which the defense claims Dolan stole from Hughes.
 Charles Lewis and Eugene Will Hams, of Forrest City, Ark, together with several, others look the stand as witnesses. The Arkansas witnesses all testified that Hughes reputation at home was good as far as they knew.
