GLAUBITZ PAID WITH LIFE PRICE OF MURDER
Had Brutally Slain His Wife-Was
 Cheerful On GalIOWs,

Ozark. Nov. 1-Ferdinand Graubitz, who was convicted at the September term of the circuit court here of the crime of murdering his wife, was hanged today in the presence of a large throng of curious spectators. He went to his death without trem- or, and was apparently in the best of humCr, even in the shadow of the moose. He made no statement from the scaffold.
 There was brief prayer for the l doomed man by Rev Richardson. pas tor of the local Baptist church. At tending physicians pronounced Glau- bitz dead eleven minutes after the trap was sprung.
 The murder of which Glaubitz today aid the penalty with his life was a most brutal crime. He killed his wife and maltreated the body.
 1 1To the very day of his death he 4 maintained an utter indifference as to his fate, and declared he had no re- gret for what he had done. He ire quently told his keeper at the jail that he was ready to be hanged
 Yesterday there was move made to ] seSCre a stay of execution, on the l ground that Glaubitz was insane Gov ernor Donaghey was called up, and he informed the parties calling him that there was a regular process for deter mining the sanity of the man, if they believed him mentally unbalanced. and that there was yet time for this pro- cedure, if justifiable. However. noth. ing further was done in the matter. and the execution was proceed with today, no commission having been named to take the case up formally Many are of the opinion that the ends of justice nave been fairly met in the execution of GlauEitz, and that he was not insane

MATINEE TO-DAY AT ELKS

The Little Rock Gazette cr:tic has the following to say of "Get Rick Quick Wallingford,' which will ap- pc r at the Elks Theatre today, mat inee and night:
 Tt is a long time since dramatic at rae ion was received With such evi- dent pleasure and generous applause as WIS Get-Rick-Quick Wallingford" at the Kempner theatre last night. The company, not cnly as to leads, but subordinates, also was vastly better han hat of last season and the result was satisfying perform anee throughout. The play does not follow the stories of George Randolph Chester closely, but takes the covered carpet tack episode and the in erur- ban scheme and amalgamates them. Nor is Wallingford just the Walling- ford of Chester's creat on. In the play the hero not only impresses the ''boobs" by his magnificent schemes, but is a lovable, social chap, making friends wherever he goes. He and Blackie DaW are introduced as crook ed promoters, as in he stories, but their schemes, quite unexpectedly, turn out SC wholly successful that they bring wealth, legitimate wealth, to them and all their associates and build up the town beyond all ex- pect2tion. There is no moral convey ed in two crooks being made straight by force of circumstances without a moral can be found when, at the finale, Wallingford moralizes on the folly of a man of brains ever being a crook But the average theatre goer s not in search of a moral in every play and in Quick Wallingford,' moral or no moral, he finds en. ertainment in very delight ful comedy.
 There is truly. artistic touch in the finale. The scene of the city by n ght is splendid bit of realism and cut of the Wallingford mansion, after bidding his guests goodbye, the own CT and Daw, respectable members of society, smoke their cigars, moralize over the past and present and walk into the house. and curtain descend ing on an empty stage.

Philadelphia and Chicago, it has been the banner attraction of the season. MT. Hill has made meritorious pro- duction from every standpoint. The music, which $ original, is catchy and whistleable; there is swing to it that is contagious and the audience walks out completely under it's in- fluence. The costuming is gorgeous Tn the extreme, the situations make an elaborate display of gowns quite in keeping with the scenes of the play and every opportunity is taken advartage of. The three scenes make possible magnificent specta- cular scenic display, representing the race track and club house at Saratoga on board the Steamsh D "Insurgent" in Southern waters en route to "Nickador," an imaginary South American country; and the last act is laid in a tropical country with Spanish architecture and costumes. New ideas in dancing are introduced simply to create breathing spell so one won't choke with laughter.

COACH WINGO'S KICK
 WON'T HOLD GOOD
Defeat of Little Rock Football Team Was Not Accomplished By Un-
 fair Methods.

During the progress of the foot ball gsme between the Little Rock and Pine Bluff High School teams, Coach Wingo, of the capital city squad said to local newspaper man and in tse hearing of half dozen others that he "came down here to be beat en" and he was, fairly but ignomin- iously. Ills team was completely out classel, fact apparent to those who witnessed i.he game.
 He has filed a formal pritest with the state athletic committee, charg- ing that various rules were violated with impuni,y and overlooked by the officials. But he was careless enough 10 admit that members of h's team did as much violating as their op- ponents and when this is brought up in the hearing by the committee the Little Rock coach will be placed in a most inconsistent pred cament.
 The Little Rock players displayed no. hing that locked like progress in football t9cticsYand the only explana- tion that can be made for their vic- tory over Portland and Conway is that they were on home grounds and had the partiality of the off cials.
 The cid ssying Vanity zoe h be- fore fall'' is quite applicable to the Little Rockians. Former successes have impressed them with the for midableness of their Irowess and is is qut impossible for them to un- derstand their failure and cause them to lose the respect of sportsmen by bowling foul when they are vanquish- ed.
