REPRODUCED SCENE OF D0LAN'S DEATH Pantomime Most Dramatic Ever Offered in Court
 of Justice.
HUGHES WAS NERVOUS
Dozen Witnesses Examined anI Hughes. Himself Was on Stand
 Defendant Interested.

Memphis, Tenn, Feb. 21.-The most dramatic scene ever, in a Tennessee court of justice was enacted in the First Criminal Court of >helby Coun- ty this afternoon, when twelve men who are sitting in judgment of John J. Hughes, ST., charged with the mur- der of Tommy Dolan, saw in pan temine the tragedy, which occurred July 9, last, in room 27, of ihe Cor dova Hotel.
 Counsel's table was moved back, and the court room, with the aid of specially constructed scenery, to re- present the East wall of the hotel, was transformed into the scene of the killing. The very carpet Dolan and Hughes trod, the chairs they oc- cupied, the tray on which Dolan last supper was served, the chairs in which the two men sat, were placed before the eyes of the jury, court and spectators, who watched in breath less awe while the State made its last grand stand to prove that John J. Hughes killed Tommy Dolan in cold blood.
 Throughout the pantomime Hughes showed more interest than at any time during the trial. He appeared nervous for the first times since the opening of the trial. About a dozen witnesses were examined during the day. Hughes himself taking the stand fer a few minutes during the morning session.

TEST CASF. IS
 IN THE COURTS Right of Corporations to De- rnand Deposits to Be
 Determined.
TEMPORARY RELIEF
Given By Judge Grace Acting for Judge Elliott But Case Will
 Go to Supreme Court.

Through their attorneys, Sorrells s Whitelaw, N. T. Jenkins and T. H. Ware, who conduct a sales stable and wagon yard at Nos 120-126 West Fourth avenue, yesterday secured a temporary injunction against the Pine Bluff Corporation, to prevent that con- ceIn from cutting off the water ser vice at their place of business because they refuse to make deposit in ad- vance to insure the payment of their water bill, which is demanded by the water company.
 The legal proceeding will be in the nature of a test case, winch will De taken to the Supreme Court in the event the plaintiffs fail to get perman- ent relief in the lower court. The temporary restraining order was is- sued by Judge A. B. Grace in the ab- sence of Judge J. M. Elliott, of the Jefferson county chancery court.
 The action of Scrrells and White law was authorized lby the city coun- cil at meeting several weeks ago, when the matter of demanding g. deposit by the Pine Bluff Natural Gas Company was discussed. The suit will test the legal right. of public service corporations to require consumers to make a deposit before service is fur nished them. While the Pine Bluff Natural Gas Company is not mention ed in the suit of yesterday the final ruling of the higher court in the Jenkins case will affect that concern and others making similar demands of consumers in cities and towns of Arkansas.
 The plaintiffs allege that the Pine Bluff Corporation was about to shut off their water supply, after they had refused to put up the deposit.

much importance, the attorney for the Pine Bluff Corporation in New York demanded that the defect be remed.ed before the recent sale was consummatd. MT. Coleman further stated that in his opinion the or dinance does not invalidate any right s of the city in any way nor would it in any way change the original co1l- tract entered into between the Citizens Light and Transit Company and the City of Pine Bluff This opinion was concurred in by City Attorney Sor- rells and the aldermen all took the same view and endorsed it unanim- ously at the night meeting Of the Council.
 1.-The passage of the ordinance does not change the franchise in any man ner. Nor does it give tc the new owners of the Transit company pro perties and privilege not heretofore granted the Citizens Light and Tran sit Company by the city.
 "The opinions and criticisms pass ed by interested attorneys and would be office seekers and self constituted guardians of the peoples welfare does not materially affect the facts as set forth plainly in the ordinance or change the opinion of intelligent ci- tizens CT unbiased city officials. think it is much ado about nothing"

Parkes, who charged that the adoption of the ordinance Wlls detrimental to the pee pie of this city, in that it carried wit. it joker" which would allow tn. Citizens Light and Transit Company to accept $30O,0O0 from the Pine Bluff Cooperation, and then be relieved, under the ordinance, from the pay ment of it's honest debts.
 Mayor Jordan terms his critics as Interested attorneys and would-be office seekers and self constituted guardians of the peoples welfare I,o f1,tof ,t1 a legal session of the Council and that it was only gathering of the aldermen to consider the ordinance previous to a meeting of that body and to save time at the regular ses- sion.

 "The meeting was called at the re- Quest of Mir. Coleman, attorney for tte Citizens Light and Transit Con- pany, who desired to explain the or dinance he had in hand to clear a title between the Bluff City Lumber Company and the Citizens Light and Transit Company. This meeting Of the alderman was net a called meet. ing, but simply formal gathering of the members of that body to consider the ordinance before the night ses- sion ard to save time at the regular session. Six of the aldermen, Messrs. Fox, Clements, Sheppard, Howell; Wolff and Hut, MT. Coleman, City Attorney Sorrells and myself were present.

Friends of Entries Show Lively Interest in Vote
 Getting.
MANY MOVE AHEAD
\ Profitable Proposition For Those Who Will Take Ad-
 vantage.

The battle of ballots will soon be on in earnest as q greater degree of interest is being evineed each day. The contest has opened most auspi- ciously and with that perseverance which should characterize every ones efforts in any undertaking worthy of | attainment. Do not stand back and hesitate if you wish to secure one of these valuable awards.
 Doubts Are Traitors.
 Doubts make us lose the good we might do, by fearing to attempt. Buckle on the armor and enter the fight with a firm belief that you will come out the winner. Someone must win the prize that you covet, Why net you?
 A little well directed effort will tell the tale. Many may precede you in position in the list but the bril- liant start does not always insure final success.
 It is the steady determined climber who reaches the top in the long run.
 Viewed from business standpoint this contest is a profitable proposi- tion. One has to work but short time, few weeks in fact, to get what it would take many people lifetime to secure. This is especial- ly true considering that the contest ants do not accomplish this by their own individual efforts
 It is necessary only to approach your friends with a request for their assistance; feeling secure that it will readily be secured. It is yours for the asking. The. contestants who have entered and are in the field have already learned several lessons and will profit by the experience they have gained in the future.
 Those who have yet to make tho initial start feel timid; but this ti- midity must be overcome; for victory
 
 Get in now and get the start. A start right now will be worth more tJ you than at any other period of the contest. If you show your friends that you are in the race to win, their support will be forth coming and the first thing you know your name will have many thousands of votes to its credit
