H JNTER ACCIDENTALLY $
Was Using Gun to Club Way Thrc
 Grass When it Was Discharged.

Western NewspG IT Union News Servic,
 Little Rock.-Carelessness in ham ling a gun was the cause of the serious and painful wounding of J. c. Busby, of Slate, Ark.
 MT. Busby was out duck hunting with party of friends and was alone in boat some distance from his com panions when he endeavored to force his way through the grass in the lake by taking the muzzle of his gun and beating the grass aside The accident happened when the trigger struck an object and was discharged. The shot skinned through the right hand, tore away the flesh from the palm, and con- tinuing upward, lacerated the fore arm.
 Companions of the injured man paid no heed to the sound of gunshots, as all had been shooting at frequent in tervals, according to their story, more than an hour passed before they heard Busby's cries for help and found him lying unconscious in a pool of water. A tourniquet was applied to the wound ed arm and the unconscious man car ried to a nearby farm house where a wagon was procured and it was three hours later that the injured man re- ceived medical attention at the city hospital of this city.

ESCAPED CONVICT CAUGHT
Officer Trails Wife of Frank Walkes
 and Makes Capture.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 MemphIs.-Love for his wife led td the undoing of Frank Walker, 30 years old, escaped life prisoner from the Arkansas penitentiary, and he was re- captured in Memphis. Though armed, he did not resist arrest. His wife had been trailed to Memphis by an of. ficer, who kept in constant touch with Mrs. Walkers movements until she met her husband.
 Through some mistake, Walker was not thoroughly searched before being locked up at central police headquar- ters. After being placed in a cell, he took a 32-caliber pistol from his pocket and handed it to Turnkey Cole with the remark: "To show you l am on the square, I'll give you this"
 Following a dispute over the moving of a log, Walker shot and killed Sam Smith, a fellow-workman, in a timber camp near Ross. Ark, May 10, 1911. He was tried at Asceola, the county seat, in July and given life sentence. Walker escaped october IA, with four other men from convict camp at Arl. burg, Ark. He said he disguised him. self by blacking his face and covering his convict stripes with a pair of over. als left near the camp by hunter.

WOULD WORK REFORM
Governor-Eect Robinson and Educa.
 tional Heads Plan Changes.

Little Rock.-Governor-elect Joe T. Robinson and the heads of several state educational institutions held a conference here last week and dis cussed plans for taking the state in stitutions out of politics and placing them on better financial basis.
 The plan most discussed and favor ably thought of at the meeting was the plan of placing the state institu- tions on a special tax basis MT Robinson thought this could be done without raising the present state tax ation rate. He said that rate of one mill would be sufficient for all the institutions and that this rate could be established without raising the present total state rate
 Governor-elect Robinson also said that the board should be reorganized to exclude the exofficio members, including the governor himself as this course would tend to remove politics from the institutions of the state.
 A bill will be introduced in the next legislature including these proposed reforms. Those present at the confer ence were the following: J. H. Key holds, acting president of the Univer sity of Arkansas; Dr. c. H. Brough Geo.. A. Cole, president of the agri- cultural college at Russeilville; J. l.. Spence, president of the agricultural school at Monticello; J. J. Doyne, president of the State Normal Col lege, and w. T. Sampson of the agri cultural college at Magnolia. Other conferences on this subject will be held later

 by Democrats Last Year.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Washington.-It will cost $S23, 15, 455.14 to construct the affairs of the government for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1914, according to the esti mates of the various department heads, submitted to the speaker of the house by the secretary of the treasury This amount, not including provision for the postal service, which is ex- pected to be self-supporting, is an in, crease of S72,078,24S over the appro- priations made for the present year by the last session of congress.
 Of this increase S28,312,220 appears in estimates of the secretary of the navy, and $20,597, ,297 represents the increase asked by the navy depart ment in the appropriations for build ing and equipping new vessels. The estimates would provide for three new battleships to be laid down during the year. This would make up for the lapse of one ship from the two-battle- ships year program, caused by the action of the Democratic house in pro. viding for but a single ship at the last session.
 Another $20,000,000 or more of the total increase is shown in the esti- mates for the payment of pensions The amount asked for this year is S1S5,2 ,000. An increase of about the same amount as appears in the es- inmates for public work for the year
 The construction of public buildings planned for the year also shows an increase of $1,012,530 over the appro- priations for the present year; $S,722,- 220 being asked for that purpose. The work to be done during the year on the Panama canal will cost $30,174,. 432, which is S1,110,567 less than the appropriations for the current year Of this sum $6,769,522 is asked to build Qualifications and military barracks in the canal zone. This year $2,325, ,00C was appropriated for Qualifications al Panama
 The estimates forecast another bill lion dollar session of congress for. ir addition to the $823,415,455, which is the total estimated for, the postmaster general estimates that $281, ,791 ,50S will be necessary to conduct his de partment for the year. This amount will be supplied out of the postal rev enues and will bring the total esti mated appropriations for the year uI to $1,105,206, ,963.
 Among the estimates which will de velop debate in congress is a demand for $250,000 for the Economic Defi ciency Committee, appointed by Presi dent Taft, which is Investigating ant reforming the system of conducting the government business in the va rious departments. Another trouble some item will be an estimate of $54, 800 for the Commerce Court.

DAVIDSON BROS.
 HELD BY CORONER Jury Decides That Miss Ella Barham Came 10 Death at
 Their Hands. CASE ATTRACTS ATTENTION Accused Men Deny Their Guilt and Say They Will Be Cleared
 When Tried Later.
CASE ATTRACTS ATTENTION

Western Newspaper Union News Serviee~
 Harrison.-The coroner's jury inves- tigating the death of Miss Ella Bar ham at Zinc, returned verdict that the girl came to her death at the hands of Otis Davidson, and that Lear Davidson, his brother, is accessory be- fore the fact. There is talk of mob violence and both of the young men, who are in jail at Berryville, declare that they are innocent of the crime, and that they will be vindicated in the courts.
 The case has attracted considerable attention in this section, due to the youth of the girl and the horrible man. ner in which the body was mutilated. Miss Ella Barham, the 17-year-old daughter of George Barham, we'll known farmer near zinc, left home on horse to go to the home of a neighbor. Her horse returned without her, and the family, organizing a search party, found her dismantled body in the woods. The body had been horribly mutilated, the lower limbs having been chopper off apparently Wlth hdtcHeI or axe.
 Otis Davidson, young man, who lived near Miss Barham, was suspect ed, and with his brother, was placed under arrest A bloody ax was found in the yard of the Davidson home, but the Davidson family explained that the ax had been used to kill hog few days previously. Many witnesses were brought to testify at the coroner's inquest, which was held behind closed doors with only witnesses, attorneys and newspaper men admitted.
 George s. Barham, father of the dead girl, has always opposed mob violence, and insists that the law be allowed to take it's course.

NEGRESS FOUND MURDERED
Negro Preacher Arrested by Officers
 and Accused of Shooting.

WeSte. l-SeWspaper Union News Service.
 Little RocR-The dead body of Alice Turner, negress, about S5 years old, was found by party of negro hunts men at the edge of the woods on the Frazier pike, about two and one-half miles southeast of Little Rock last week.
 The entire back of the woman's head had been blown away by charge of No. birdshot, which is believed to have been fired with the gun press ed against or near her head
 w. A. Pearson, a negro preacher, was arrested at Motley Cut on suspi- cion of having committed the murder He was arrested by officers from the sheriff's and constable's office a few hours after the woman's body was found
 The woman's body was not entirely cold when the officers arrived She had been shot while standing in the road, but the body afterward was drag ged to the woods which skirted the roadside.
 Robbery evidently was the motive of the crime, as the woman's shoes and stockings had been removed, indi- eating the murderer had made a search for money.
 When arrested, Pearson had a re- ceipt for $45.67 in his possession, and the date showed he paid the money on the same day of the murder.
 Officers say Pearson cannot give a satisfactory account of how he ob- tained the money. They say he admits having bought six shotgun sheels of having bought six shotgun shells of found near the dead woman's body When questioned at Motley Cut as to the kind of g he possessed, he said he had single barreled breech-load- ing shotgun at his home. When the house was searched later, the gun was not found.
