 MEET AT HOPE ArkansaW Travellers Close Annual Meeting at
 Hot Springs.
TWO PINE BLUFFIANS
Are Among the State Oiiicers--WilI Resist Railroad 14. Hour
 Storage Charge.

Hot Springs. Ark, June S.-The an- nual convention of the Arkansaw Travellers, the smallest in point of at tendance ever held in the state, came 10 a close here today, when Hope was selected as the 1913 convention city, after Little Rock and Mammoth Strings had invited them.
 w, D. Hartwick, of Little Rock, was elected president; T. D. Bourland, Ft. Smith, first vice president; H. l.. shannon, third vice president: E. D. Traweek, Pine Bluff, fourth vice president, Sam Henderson, Little Rock, secretary; T. T. Daniel, Pine Bluff, treasurer; Rev. Marion Waldrip, Fayetteville, chaplain, and Ike l.. Veil, Little Rock, sergeant-at-arms. Mrs. w. D. Hardwick, wife of the new president, was officially voted the Mother of the Arkansaw Travellers.
 During the morning session the sanitary condition of the Hot Springs A'o'Sio, '"HiNii Hdu HeeH com pldlneu about by the organization s hotel com mlttee without being remedied, was up for discussion The travelling men referred the matter to the legislative committee with instructions to con- fer with q committee of the hotel men, who are to hold their annual meeting in Hot Springs next week.
 President Spivey in discussing a complaint that had been made about the railroads charging travelling men storage when trunks or other bag gage is left in depots twenty-four hours, declared that the railroads were in strict violation of the law in making the charge. He ruled that the railroads had no right to charge storage until the baggage had been in their depots for forty-eilnt hours. The matter is to be thoroughly in- Xertigated and the Travellers expect x0 file 2 complaint with the State .Railrd commission.
 A motion was carried putting the Travellers on record as favoring the preservation of the old statehouse at Little Rock. This action was taken after message had been received from Mrs. s. J. Wassell. of Little Rock, asking for an expression from the Travellers on the subject.

DISTRICT DELEGATES
 GET LITTLE RELIEF
ARKANSAS DISTRICT CONTESTS WERE BEFORE NATIONAL
 COMMITTEE
Roosevelt Committeeman Could Not Even Effect COmprO-
 mise.

Chic, go, June .S-The results of another six hours sitting of the Na" tional Committee today were; Six Taft delegates from Arkansas, the fourth, fifth and seven districts, were seated. On the seating of these fo" the fifth district the only real divfs- ion of the day occurred and then the count was ten for Roosevelt, forty cne for Taft.
 The hearing was started with tn contest for the fourth Arkansas dis trict The case the Rooseveltians made was so weak that Frank B. Kellogg, the Roosevelt leader, tn Senator Borah's absence moved that the Taft delegates be seated.
 In the sixth district contest the Roosevelt side tried to put up a respectable fight, but when both sldes were heard the Big Stick Commit teeman only moved compromise 'f' seat both set of delegates, with a half vote to each man, and only ten of their number voted for that pro position.

the afternoon for Cleveland. He sa; in some of the councils in the morn Ing and left predicting an over Whelming victory for the Colonel Perkins place as a stratagist was taken by Walter Brown, who started all the Taft present troubles when the National Committee met in Washington in December. Brown was made an honorary member of the vigilance committee as was also Senator Bcrah, who quit bucking the steam roller at the Coliseum long enough to sit with the vigilance con- mlttee at both of their meetings.
 The fear that the Colonel, despite assurances to the contrary, is likely to drop into town and start som.. thing a, any moment, still hangs as menacing over the Taft crowd. Me- Kinley said this afternoon that th- Colonel will be here before the Com mittee gets down to the contesting in Indiana and Kentucky, which will be about Wednesday.
 Back of all the tumult and the shouting is situation which is en- joyable to nobody but such Dem- ocrats as are on the side lines.
 The Taft leaders who are in com mand are deliberately forcing the nomination of man foredoomed lo defeat, not because they are for him, but because they want 10 keep their grip on the party machinery. Pen rose and Crone, both defeated in their own states have no hope to tht nomination of Taft and are desper- ate. Neither is sure just how far the delegates will follow them, and neither cares if the outcome is q temporary wreck of the party
 The Roosevelt people are just as desperate. They have undertaken not only to nominate the Colonel but to carry the direct nomination pro gram into every state in the Unioi. If they weaken they are lost and they know it. Their talk of bolt there. fore. is not an idle boast.
 Every Taft man knows that they'll bolt at the drop of the hat if the game goes against them in the con- vention.
 After some discussion as to Sun days session of the committee which was favored hy Penrose~the majority decided that such work as the commit tee has to do is not meant for the Sabbath. Therefore an adjournment was taken until Monday

JACK WHITE WON
 BUT LOSER GOT GLORY

Los Angeles, Cal, June Slack White, of Chicago, earned and was given twenty-round decision over Harry Thomas, of Birmingham, Eng land, this afternoon, but it is doubtful if more popular loser than the British boy was ever lifted across the ropes of the Vernon fight pavilion.
 Considering that Thomas was light CT and smaller than White and that he had been substituted on five days notice for the fight, his showing was remarka ble.

capacity. The services will le con- ducted in the home on the Warren road and the interment will be in Union church cemetery, a short dis tance away.
 Nichols brother-in-law. R. II. Fer guson, who stood by him throughout his trouble as Loyalty as any man could, and who was the first to rem der him assistance after the crime for which he paid the death penalty, stated yesterday that Nichols repeat edly begged him ill the past few weeks to take good care of his little children, to rear them in the right way and to make a man of his little boy and good women of his little girls. Although the nature of the would lead one to believe that he was not possessed of any human kind ness, his love for his little children was as strong as that of any lovable parent. In his cell at ;ne jail on tho morning before he went to death Ni- chols showed his great love for his little ones. He had shown it many times before and he insisted that had it not been for the great love he bore for his babies that he would have never lost his head" and killed his wife in fit of temper.
 "I could not bear to have anyone pull my children from my lap when they clung to my neck" Nichols told his friends in explaining his rash $ t. An eye witness says that when his wife did jerk the baby boy from him, while the child begged to be permit- ted to remain with it's papa. she made d demon out of Nichols for the moment and he cut his wife's throat before he realized what he was doing.
 Nichols father is 63 years old and his mother is 66. His three children, Myrtle, Ollie and Jerry, are 3, and 2 1-2 years respectively He has two brothers, Henry and Raleigh and two sisters, Mrs. R. H. Ferguson and Mrs. John P. Smith, all of whom live in this county. The three children of Nichols are to be given every care and attention by relatives of the dead man. They divide their time between their grandparents and the other relatives, being at the Ferguson home most of the time. 55s..zsg5. =s.s z,
 It developed yesterday that the fe- port to the effect that Nichols, who was a carpenter, had erected the gall lows on which he died, was incorrect. MT. Ferguson, his brother-in-law stated yesterday that it was his broth CT, Henry Nichols, who aided in building the gallows in 1902, when the first man paid the death penalty on it.

ALEXANDER HANGS
 ON AUGUST 30 Governor Fixes Date for Execution of Former
 Saloonist.
MAY NOT INTERFERE
Recent Action of Governor in Nichols Case Looked on As an
 Example.

Little Rcck, Ark. June S--W. C. Alexander the former Pine Bluff saloonist, will go to the gallows on Friday, August 30, unless Governor Donaghey interferes and commutes lis death sentence to life imprison- ment, and this is not likely if the recent firmness of the Governor in the Nichols case is to be taken as an example of the chief executives de- termination to enforce the law to the letter in all such cases.
 The mandate of the Supreme Court which recently affirmed the decision of the lower court in the AleXande" case, when his attorney, w. B. Sor- rells made hard fight to secure a reversal of the case to the Desha circuit court. where Alexander was tried on change of venue from Jeff ferson county, reached the Governor today and he did not delay fixing the day for Alexander's execution.
 Alexander will be hanged in Ping Bluff, if he is finally executed, as that was the scene of his crime. He is at present in the state peniten- tiary, having been brought here from the Jefferso county jail by Sheriff Edgar Brewster some weeks ago, when that official did not deem it safe to keep him in the Pine Bluff jail. not because of any threatened action olh the uaTtof the peoples but because Sheriff Brewster thought he had too many condemned men in his pail at one time. w. s. Rhea who $ also under death sentence was Drought here at the same time, and J. M. McVay, another doomed man, whose case is still pending in the Supreme Court, same along later.
 It is expected that Governor Don- aghey will be petitioned to change the Alexander sentence to a life tern in prison. but those who are familiar with Alexander's past criminal career and who know the Governor we'll, believe that all such efforts on the part of his relatives and friends will be useless.
 Alexander killed J. P. Kelly. popular Cotton Belt emplcye in the Brookh;ll saloon, Pine Bluff, on th' night of July 19, 1911. The tragedy followed dispute and q slight fisGi- cuff. which that men had in the rear of the building, Alexander leaving the place and returning later with revolver. He walked into the front docr and while Kelly was talking with several friends he fired on him Kelly grabbed with his antagonist, tut fell dead at the second shot.
 .Alexander's aged mother lives at Godfrey, Ga. She is 65 years old, and all invalid. She has never been told of her sans conviction, her relative, fearing that the shock would kill her. He has one brother. R. w. Alexander, living at Monticello, Ga, and two sisters, Mrs. Maud Sammons of Godfrey and Mrs. J. E. Talmage, of Monticello, Ga. His brother-in-law, J. D. Talmage. recently visited this state in Alexander's behalf.
 It is claimed by the defense that Alexander is insane, but sanity commission at Pine Bluff few months ago rendered a verdict to the contrary. His father, now deceased, an ex-Confederate soldier, and his grandfather are said to have died in asylums for the insane in Georgia some years ago.
