III CHILDREN ARE UNRULY
THEN LET THEM OUT

Little Rock, March 1. Previous
to his sermon yesterday, Rev. Phillip
G. Fletcher, pastor of the Winfield
Memorial church. announced from
the pulpit that he was heartily in
favor Of the adjustment Of cor
poral punishment in the schools Of
Little Rock
Rev. Mr. Fletcher said that he
noted with pleasure the movement
now on foot to do away with this
reform" He told of the use Of
the rod and described how it was
more out Of place for the teacher of
a school to take the place of the
parent in lashing children than
probably any other means of pun
ishment.
ut is the duty Of the parents" ("
said Rev. Mr. Fletcher, ito admin
ister such punishment, and why
should we embarass the teacher as
we'll as the child by forcing the
practice of such a method. If a
child, whether a boy or girl, cannot
be controlled by kindness he or she
is then unfit for attendance in our
schools"

TWO PRISONERS
| ESCAPE FROM JAIL
Jesse Herring and Tom Flowers,
Held Under Charge of RObbing
Stores at Cove, Got out of
Prison Tuesday Night

Polk county's Jail is empty now
with the exception of one man who,
until Wednesday had been a
"trusty," but now is in bad repute
because Of the Jail delivery Tues
day night.
The men who escaped were Jesse
Herring and Tom Flowers. They
were arrested about a month ago
and were being held to await an in
vestigation by the grand jury upon
a charge of breaking into the store
of Gonf Brothers & Gamble at Cove.
The men escaped some time be-
tween dark and III a. m. Tuesday.
AT the latter hour George Gray, a
"trusty,n gave the alarm to Mrs.
Norris, the wife of Robert Norris,
the jailer, 'and she notified Sheriff
Thornton by telephone. Mr.. Norris
was absent from home at the time,
having gone to his farm near Egger
a couple Of days before.
An investigation at the Jail made
by Sheriff Thornton developed the
fact that the door to the cells had
been unlocked and that the two men
had climbed into the attic over the
cell room and out on the roof
through an attic window. From
the roof they slid to the porch in
front of the Jail building and down
to the ground. Mr.. Norris was also
and he arrived in Mena
How the cell door came to be open
is not known, but in taking to a
reporter today JaiIer Norris ex-
pressed the opinion that George
Gray, the "trusty," had secured the
keys and unlocked the cell doors
while Mrs. Norris was out milking
evening. The keys were
kept in a drawer in one of the living
rooms occupied by Mr.. Norris and
his family.
Jailer Norris has offered re-
ward of $50 for the capture of the
men. Herring is a low, heavy set,
red completed youth of about 20
years of age. Flowers is a couple
of years older, about 5 feet s inches
in height, light hair, blue eyes and
has a very small mustache.

KINNEL MYSTERY
SOLVED BY JURY
ST. Louis Men Declare That Man
Produced by Insurance Company
Is Not Kimmci but White-Was
Kimmel Dead in 1904?

st. Louis, March i-The jury in
the Kimmel case reported today
that it had decided that the man
who claims to be George A. Kimmel,
former cashier of the Farmers
State Bank of Arkansas City, Kas.,
is not Kimmel but Andrew ]. White.
thus solving one phase of the mys-
terry which has attracted country
wide interest.
The palintiff in the case is George
C. Rankin, receiver the bank of
whicn Kimmel was formerly CASH
ier. Rankin seeks to recover from
the New York Life Insurance Com
pany $1,000 on a policy on Kimmefs
life. The plaintiff contends Kim
mel was murdered while hunting
treasure in Oregon in 1898.
The defense has contended that
Kimmel is not dead that he was
assaulted and robbed in st. Louis,
The wound. causing loss of memory
so that Kimmel forgot his identity.
The defense asserts that Kimmel
became a crook and was finally inn
pfisoned in Sing-Sing under the
name Of Andrew J. White, who was
recently released and appeared as a
witness at the trial. The defense
further contends that Mrs. Kim
mel's only reason for refusing TO
acknowledge the man it has pro-
duced as her son is because by so
doing she would forfeit her share
of $4,000 due on life insurance
policies.

WILSON T0 T.iE WEST
New Jersey Governor Will Go Into
Speaker Clark's Territory
30 Pull for Votes.

Chicago, Feb. 29-Gov. Woodrow
Wilson Of New Jersey will begin a
western tour in furtherance Of his
presidential aspirations by deliv-
ering two addresses in Chicago to-
day. Tomorrow the governor will
speak in Springfield and East st.
Louis. Later he will visit Des
Moines and Milwaukee and possibly
other cities in this section Of the
country before returning to Tren-
ton.
Wilson sentiment is admittedly
strong throughout the central and
northwestern states, but now that
the Clark Polk contest has been
decided and The speaker has def
nitely entered the ranks of aspir-
ants for the Democratic preisden-
tial nomination, it is likely that a
hard fight will be waged between
the Clark and Wilson forces for the
control Of the various state delega-
tions to the Baltimore convention.
