SCHEPPS SEEMS ID BE LOSING NERVE Afraid Hot Springs Officers Will Turn Him Over

HAS TALKED TOO MUCE

Hot Springs, Aug 13.-Sam Schepps arrested here as an accomplice in the murder of Herman Rosenthal, in New York, is losing his nerve as the time for his departure to the scene of his crime approaches. He no longer has confidence in the promise of the To- cal police that they will deliver hin, to no one but District Attorney Whit man; he is afraid the New York po- lice will have hand in his reception and he fears them more than any gun man involved ill his confession. 'I haven't got any holler about Whitman getting me- he said today, "but if the police are called into help in any way don't know what I'll do. >
 schepps is also sorry now that he talked so much following his arrest and thinks the action of the authori- ties permitting him to talk before men whom he did not suspect of being reporters was a "scurvy trick"

no reason for her disappearance other than a possible relapse from a heart ailment and other complca- tions from which she has been suffer- ing off and on for the last few months. Her home life with both her husband and her parents was ideally happy. The supposition is that her physical illness is mental illness.

HUNDREDS ATTEND
 TRIAL AT WALDRON
Case of John IC. StOwers and Con Sul. ivan, Charged With Murder in
 Fort Smith, is Called.

Fort Smith, Aug. 13.-The last con- tingent of the Fort Smith delesatior of 175 left this city today for Wal dron, where the Fort Smith lynching cases are on trial. Over 100 went Sunday night and half as many more last night, the delegation being wit nesses for the state or defense.
 The cases were called in Waldron yesterday in which John c. Stowers and Con Sullivan are charged with murder in the first degree in parti- cipating in the hanging by a mob last March of the young negro Sanford Lewis. The mob were actuated by the belief that Lewis had shot and killed Constable Andy Carr. It proved afterward that Lewis did not have a gun and that Carr was accidentally killed by a stray shot from the pis- tols of other officers who were at- tempting to arrest Lewis for an al- leged misdemeanor.
 As soon as the cases of Stowers and Sullivan are concluded at Wal dron Constable John P. Williams of this city is to be put on trial in two cases, in one of which he is charged with involuntary manslaughter, the theory of the state being that it was a shot from his gun which killed Carr. Williams is also to be tried for aggra- vated assault for clubbing the negro Lewis over the head with his gun while Lewis was seeking to make his escape from the officers
 immediately after Carr was killed Lewis was put in jail and an hour later the mob tore a hole through the wall of the jail, took Lewis out and hanged him to a trolley pole on Garrison avenue in front of the Hotel Main. A special grand jury was summoned after the lynching and in- dicted more than a score of men for complicity, charging murder.
 Only three have been captured so far, they being Stowers, Sullivan and an Oklahoma man who is under $5,- 900 bond awaiting trial at the Sep tember term of court in this city. After the lynching the city discharg- ed eleven policemen for dereliction of duty on the night of the lynching, of whom three were afterward tried for nonfeasance in office and fined $1o0 each.

ATTACKS ACT FOR
 UNIFORM TAX BOOKS
Department of Education Says Act No. 4, Which Will Be Refused, is
 Impossible On It's Face.

Little Rock, Aug. 13.-The Depart ment of Education has issued state ment attacking Initiative Act No. 4, providing for uniform text books, which was initiated by the Arkan- sas Federation of Labor. It is stated that the Department '.favors the adop- tion of uniform series of text books for use in the public schools of the state" but that Act N. is impossi- ble, and it's very face, and aside from it's many vital defects and omissions, could not be made operative under any circumstances
 It is further stated that 'our So- cialist friends who favor this hill ad- vocate some splendid progressive ideas, but in the present instance they have been unfortunate indeed, in the provisions of Act No. A." Below are some of the objections urged to the measure:
 None but teachers can vote for the Text Book Commissioners.
 None but teachers can become mem- bers of the commission.
 No other class of citizens or tax payers can pars-~..G.ate.
 It creates a perpetual board with elections every two years.
 It keeps our schools continually in politics.
 It mixes the Department of Educa- tion in elections and politics.
 Competitive bids for text books ale not required.
 The entire section for the selection of text books is faulty and hay, and leaves the door open for every pos sihle abuse.
 This act creates six salaried state officers for all time, and provides a biennial appropriation of 200, all of which they may spend in their own per diem.
 The bill is too ind d.sinite to be practicable. and business of this magnitude should be we'll protected.
 It burdens the Department of Edu- cation with impossible and almost endless tasks and with great respon- abilities for which proper protection of public interest is not provided, yet offers no means either in added force or funds to do this work, even if the same were not impracticable.
 Everything considered says Supt. Cook in conclusion, "the De- partment of Education, acting upon the authority granted by the law which makes it incumbent on the State Superintendent to advise in matters pertaining to the general welfare of the public schools, advis- ed the taxpayers to examine this inn portant Act No. with great care and consideration

WILSON FOR sELF.GovERNMENT.

Governor Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, Democratic nominee for president, is not side-stepper, but he meets the issues squarely and is willing to take the consequences so long as he thinks he is right and is acting according to his own dictates.
 In an effort to entangle him in the siProhi and Anti-Prohi' fight that is being closely drawn in Maine just now, where gubernatorial campaign is attracting much attention, Demo cratic leaders of that state asked Governor Wilson for an expression as to his views on the liquor ques- tion.
 As in his letter to Rev. Thomas B. shannon, of Newark, N J., whose in- terrOgation some weeks ago had q bearing on the issue in that state, Governor Wilson declared himself in favor of local option and as being op- posed to the liquor question as an is- sue between political parties. A copy of the letter, in which the Democratic nominee reiterates his former utter ances, is being spread broadcast over the state of Maine. It reads:
 "I am in favor of local option. I am a thorough believer in local self government and believe that every self-governing community which con- stiutes social unit should have the right to control the matter of the regulation of the withholding of liz censcs.
 But the qu8tions involved are so- cial and moral and are not susceptible of being made parts of a party pro- gram. Whenever they have been made the subject matter of party contests, they have cut the lines of party or ganization and party action athwart to utter confusion of political action in every other question, however inn pOrtant, into the background, and have made constructive party action inn possible for long years together So far as am myself concerned, there fore, Il cannot consent to have the question of local option made an is ste between political parties in this state. My judgment is very clear in this natter I do not believe that party programs of the highest conse- quence to the political life of the state and of the nation ought to be thrust on one side and hopelessly embarrassed for long period together til making a political issue of great question which is essentially nonpoli- tical, nonpartisan, moral and social in it's nature. .
