cent Shooting, However
Great Darlington, Mass, March 49,
Another chapter was added yester-
day to the Love shooting affair in
Monument valley few weeks ago,
when Sylvester Love was shot by an
Italian, from whom he wrested the
revolver and killed his assailant. Mrs
Frank Durant, a daughter of Sylves-
ter Love, who has been residing with
her husband in the vicinity of the
Pearson place, is missing from ner
home and her husband has posted her
according to the law.
Mrs. Sylvester Love who has been
held as a witness in the shooting af-
fair, was to appear IN court today for
the continued hearing, but it is quite
probable that there will not be a hear
ing as Loves condition is such that
he will not be able to appear in court
for several days. He is considered as
about out Of danger and is able to b.
about the house a little.

PREPARED FOR INSANE
No White Patients In JaiIs---H ospitaI
Has Increased Facilities.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
For the first time for many years,
itsis said, there is not now a white in
sane person in any county Jail in Ark
ansas. This condition has been brought
about by the increased facilities for
the care Of the insane at the Arkan-
sas Hospital for Nervous Diseases
created since DR.. j. l.. Greene was
placed in charge Of the institution
less than year ago.
The new building, which is to be
used exclusively for the care Of pa.
tients suffering from tuberculosis, will
be ready for occupancy about July l5,
and It is declared that at that time
the hospital will be prepared to re-
ceive every insane patient in State.
Figures compiled by Secretary Hart
OF the state board Of charities show
that from September /, 1911, to June
II, 1912, 449 new patients were receiv.
ed at the hospital and that during the

Judge John n. Tillman, who has Jus'

important step toward the inaugura

about complete reorSal!zaIloh'
! which has been considered BY some OF
the members of the board OF trustees,
it is known, the selection OF some
widely known educator from outside
the state to head the institution Is
believed to be a possibility
Certain members OF the board as
well as many of the alumni OF the
university, have taken the position
/ it is said. that the time is now ripe
to take a long stride toward placing
the institution on a plane with the
| best universities in the country. Ihey
believe that the sentiment of the
state is strongly in this direction and
that any movement looking to this
end will meet with support from the
people.
Those who have taken this view Of
the matter believe that the first
thing to be done to bring about the
desired end is to place in charge Of
the university the strongest man that
can be found in the country. they
contend that the size of the salary
which would have to be paid to such
man, should not stand in the way,
as the results that would be obtained
would be worth the added cost to the
institution.
It is thought that the board of trus-
tees will consider this proposal before
deciding upon the man who will sue

number of Arkansas educators have
been mentioned in connection with

of the faculty have also been men
toned, including Prof. J. c. Futrall
and Prof. C.. H. Brough. DR.. Henry
S. Hartzog, former president Of the
university and later president of Qua.

OF the possibilities, DR.. Hartzog is
now connected with a st. Louis pub.
