SEWER DISTRICT
 TAX ENDOWED Property Owners in District 15 Get Temporary Re
 straining Order.
  NO WATER SERVICE Effort Will Be Made to Make it Per.
 petual-City Cannot
 Aid Now.

Attorney s. J. Hunt, representing about fifteen property owners who live in the dirtsrict or own property there, yesterday secured a temporary restraining Crder from Judge J. M. Elliott in the Jefferson Chancery Court, restraining A. w. Mills, Mil- liam Eisenkramer and T. A. Wilson, commissioners of Sewer District No. 15, from collecting or levying kax in that district Or negotiating the bonds of the district as planned when the district was created some time ago. City Collector A. c. Russell is also restrained from collecting a 'tax in the district until the further orders of the court.
 The property owners, represented by MT. Hunt, are not opposed to the new sewer system, which it was planned to install in the Southwest ern suburbs of the city, but they contend ttat even after the sewers are laid that it will be several years before they can get city water for the operation of the system. They say that if the work is carried out at this time it will incur an unneces- sary expense because the city is un- able and will not be able for several years to extend the water mains in their section of the city.
 Under the franchise of the Pine Bluff Corporation the water con- pany is not required to extend Wa ter mains unless revenues are guar anteed from all sources 10 total $S0 a year for each five hundred feet of mains laid. The city council cannot make the extensions desired in the new district now, owing to the fact that there are several sewer systems in various sections of the city awaiting extensions of water mains, which will be laid from time to time to enable the property owners in the districts already created to have usa of city water in connection with their sewer system. Attorney Hunt will argue the case before Judge Elliott shortly and petition the court to make the injunction per petual.

STOPS COLLECTION
 0F POLL TAX Judge Elliott Asked to De clare Special Act of Leg islature Unconstitutional SHERIFF IS ENDOWED Lincoln County Electors Object to
 the Payment of n $l
 Poll Tax.
SHERIFF IS ENDOWED

At the request of StIate Senator Ar thur J. Johnson, of Star City, Lincoln county, Judge J. M Elliott in the Jetl'.rstn chancsry coura yesterday issued a temporary restraining order, enjoining the sheriff of that county from collecting the $4 poll tax from each electl.r in LinccIln county, pend ing @ final healing of the case in the Lincoln ch'ancery court in April. At that time fhe petitioners alsk that the lnJunctiCn be made perpetual.
 Sanldtof Johnson appeared for a number of Taxpayers of his county, who charged that the asIseasor of the county hald listed many aged electors, although tIhe special act governing '1he poll tax applies to el,actd.s be- tween the ages of 21 and 45. The taA is being demanded by the sheriff and collector under Special act of the last General Assembly, which place. the whole of Lincoln county in a spe cial rosd district, requiring each voter u2 pay 'a $4 poll tax annually. TIta present annual poll tax in th2 county is $1, tha same as in other counties of the state. I5
 The case promises to be most in- teresting one as Judge Elliott is call- ed upon to declare the act unconsti- tuional.

The lineup for grand and distric's prizes in the Graphic's gigantic vot- ng contest pvesents more impos- ng array with every passing day. The number of real active contest ants is increasing with every daily vote announcement and even nomina- tions are not through coming in. What active contestants have accomplished in the las.s few days has encouraged every contestant in the list and has caused other live ones to get ill on he most attractive prize offer that las ever been made by a newspaper in the s'-ate of Arkansas. Being on the grounds and thoroughly familiar with the value of these prizes Pine Bluff people have entered into this great voting contest with that charac- seris.ic vim and determination that have made Pine Bluff the city 1t is. This fact has caused the prominent people in the outside districts trained with the home people in this contest wieh prizes of known and guarantee ed value. That the friendly fight for heir pos ssession is exciting all south cast Arkansas is no wonder at all. When you offer the right prizes tIp tight people will go after them
 Outsiders Coming Strong.
 With every count of the votes the chances of the out af town dontest- lnts to lead the entire contest becomes nore apparent and the Graphic con- .estants are beginning to accord them ierious consideration. The out of own contestants have a slight advant- lge as in many cases there are only )ne contestant in each town of course their field of operation is much smaller. But from the daily showing they are holding their own and will )e on hand with smashing vote at he great show down.
 Start Subscriptions Any Time. contest are good to be started at any time being good for the full term of months from the time the paper is started Collect on subscriptions and mark on the stub when you want the paper started and the votes will be credited to you at once. Subscrip- tions can be taken or secured any where in the wide world and you are not restricted to your own district in securing votes and subscriptions All subscription receipts will be honor- ed for their full value and can be started at any time subscriber wishes.
 Change of Standing.
 There is scarcely a. day passes that there is not a general shake up in the contest columns. One contestant very seldom holds the lead for any 'ength of time. z
 Today some enterprising contest ants will forge into first place by m apparently nice majority of votes.

Hughes, charged wTh the murder of Tommy Dolan, until Friday or Saturday, before con- sidering their discharge. He said he wanted the talesmen to have all the time needed for deliberations, and hoped they would be able to agree on verdict and thus avoid second hearing in the case.
 The jury, which returned to .he hotel shortly after lunch hour today, will remain there until morning when they will be brought into court
 When Judge Edgi9 gton onened court Tuesday morning fputy Sheriff Pal lad not reached a verdict. The jurors remained in1 their rooms, ad- joining the court room until they were sent back to the hotel for lunch

 Hughes was brought to the court house. handcuffed in line with ot'- CT prisoners and remained in the "sweat box during The most of tho morning, when ha was taken back to the county jail.
 The only man who keeps up cheerful front, whether it be mere b1avado or real confidence, is the de fendant.
 He appears certain that he will be acquitted AHeaagsAe has commence ed to invite friends 70 join him tin fishing and hunting in Arkansas.
 Seldom, if ever in the history of Memphis court procedure, has the scrutiny of the entire community been focused so decisively on a jury as t has on the twelve talesmen in the Hughes case.
 Since that day last summer when !. J. Hughes, prosperous planter and business man of Haynes, Ark, killed Tommy Dolan, former jockey, in a room in the Cordova hotel, specula- tion as to the outcome has been rife, and certain sensations sprung during the hearing have had the Effect of augmenting public sentiment
 Rumors of attempted briber-- Of jurors and the statement of the At torney General that he believed there was slnsh fund in which a part Of the plan was to buy him off, while they came to nought, SO far as proof was concerned, gave many ugly as- pecfs to the case which never has downed. i

 Been Rejected.
APPEAL TO TRUSTEES
