The people of the town are with Us and are giving us all the support peksible. All students are backing us. The whole school is be- hind us, and most of our parents are advising us to stay with it The mat ter has been about three weeks de- veloping into a reality, but was sug- gested soon after che Christmas holi- days" .

A number of men and boys gather ed at Main street and Second avenue engaged in friendly argument at tracted considerable crowd to that point yesterday afternoon
 The contest man was naturally in terested to find out what the excite ment was about and sauntered over to learn the nature of the apparent argument.
 As he started up one of the men in question was heard to remark: Just ito show you what think of my fa- Vorltes chances to win an automobile I'll bet two to one that she is declar- the winner at the close of the contest
 These few words were enough to put the contest man on che "quiver' and he listened to the arguments rns partisans of the different contestants were putting forward as to why in their opinion itheir favorite would win.
 First one and then another name would ibe put forward as, grand prize winner, city ard out-of-towni contest ants included, and before the dispers- ing of the crowd several wages were made as to the winners.
 One gentleman's argument was that Miss Sci and So would win-"She has a great number of friends" he said, lnendable effolrlt and will leave no stone unturned.
 Another said his favorite would win because she was writing so many letters to hen out-of-town friends, and from the argument as to whd would win the automobile the talk diifted as to whether the city of Pine Bluff or the outside territories would poll the larger vote offithe entire con- test for the choice of automobiles. Public Responding. m
 The public of Pine Bluff and ad- iacent territory covered by the Daily Graphic are responding nobly to the wishes of the different contestants in way that will mean a large score for competing candidates at the final close
 Occasionally they will come across grouch who will not assist them with 9 subscription, but this is very rare and the majority of people living in the territory are doing all possible to facilitate the efforts of those in the race by giving them their voEes and subscriptions and having their friends do likewise.
 Be on the move all the time. Do not Let q day pass without adding to your standing or by building up your re- serve which can be used later on in the contest to good advantage. If ycu increase your standing daily oy just few votes your friends will see the progress you are making and

HE CONNECTS "RING'
Judge Says His let Was Nothing Short of DamnabIr--Makes
 copfession.

Los Angeles, March 1.-B. H. Frank ;in, former chief detective of the Me Namara defense, who confessed last week 10 using money for the purpose of ccrrupting jul OTIS in the celebrated case, was fined $4,000 and given a severe castigation by Judge George lCabani:s today
 Before the se.tsmce was passed As sistant District Attorney Ford in6arn- ed She court that the assistance of Franklin as a state witness in3ured the conviction of the alleged ring who formerly worked with him.
 "Ordnar.ly the District Attorney S office extends no immunity baths ra prisoners, said Ford, but the char acter and Importance of those connect cd with the MeNamara jury bribins made it necessary to obtain Frank lin: assistance"
 Ford stated that Franklin had made @ full and complete statement of his entire knowledge of the inner work ings of the McNamara defense sever al weeks ago and he asked that fine of $4,000 be imposed upon the ded7c- rive.
 In passing sentence Judge Cabani $ told Franklin he was sorry he could not give him a state penitentiary san tence, as the act of corrupting julGr was ndthing short of damnable How ever he must be governed by recom- mendations of the District Attorney and therefore would impose a fine oi $4,000.

Attorneys For Defense May Take Advantage of Tech
 nicality in Appeal.
ABSENCE APPROVED
Judge Grace Left the Court Room With the Approval of COun.
 sel for McVay.

Attorneys w. F. Coleman and J. M Shaw, of this city, and Attorney Lewis Rhoton, of Little Rock, counsel for John McVay, who was convicted of a charge of murder in the first degree in the Jefferson circuit court on Thursday, held a conference yester- day and announced that they would file a motion for 3 new trial before Judge A. B. Grace this morning. Ii is stated that should Judge Grace de- ny the application, that an appeal will be asked to the Supreme Court.
 Although it was announced that the attorneys would net ask for a new trial on the ground that Judge Grace vacated the bench during the argu- ments of the McVay case on Wednes- day, when he left Judge Ea J. Kehwin ir charge of the court room for a short while, it leaked out yesterday that the attorneys would give this as one eff their reasons in asking rever sal of the case in the Supreme Court.
 Under the law this, attorneys say, would be fine technicality upon which to get another trial for McVay but in the event this is done it is claimed that the attorneys for the de- fense would be taking advantage of a satisfactory arrangement that was made befdre Judge Grace absented himself from the court room. Judge Grace knows the law. This all attor- neys admit. He knew that to absent himself from the court room during the trial would leave aE opening for the defense in the eve,,t the defenGan; was convicted. For this reason he informed Attorney Shaw of his inter- tion to leave the court room before he did, so and that attorney agreed that it would be satisfactory to counsel fer the defense Attorney Coleman admit ted in Judge Grace's chamber Thurs day that he knew that Attorney Shaw had given his approval of the juriso $ act, and no more was thought of the incident until the rumor came from an authentic source yesterday that the iattcrneys for the defense would take advantage of the incident in asking fol new trial. ss 3t ''f.'.fa
 While no confirmation of their in- tention along that line has been given out by counsel for the defense, it was stated on good authority that the at torneys for the defense are preparing to include this ground in asking fol a gehearing of the murder trial in the event the case had to be taken to the Supreme Court, and this latter pro- ceedure is not unlikely als it is gen. erally admitted that Judge Grace will \ overrule the motion for new trial. The attorneys for McVay declined tc either affilm or deny the rumor yes terday Whether or not the attorney: for McVay include this one feature in their motion fer a new trial, they are in a most delicate position. This : is made sd with the life of their ellen at stake and their professional honol in the balance on the other hand.

 Position of Students.
 Fayetteville, Ark, March 1.-In udlluDIilo C1l SlIdgCu IuC position of the striking students of the State University, was stated as follows:
 "The '36' are holding out for an UNCONDITIONAL reinstatement fer these reasons:
 .1. Because we believe in the students right of free speech.
 "2. That we believe paper such as this is the only method of giving such expression.
 "3. That we believe the action of the faculty in expelling the promots CTS of the 'X-ray' was all-advised, in- temperate. and unjust; in that this action was taken arbitrarily and without investigation of the truth or fal2ity of the contents of the 'X-ray.
 A. That the Faculty has never shown any disposition to give stu dent petitions a hearing, and lastly
 We honorably and respectfully maintain that in the production of this paper We were moved by no other motive than genuine loyalty to our University and it's future vel fare"
