FIVE WOMEN APPEAL FROM COURTS DEGREE
Don't Want to Pay Fines in Connection
 With Robinson Girl Affair.

Little Rock, Dec. 5.-Rather than pay $10O each, assessed against them on a charge of falsely imprisoning Hazel Robinson, five Leslie women have appealed 10 the State Supreme Court to set the judgment of the Searcy county circuit court aside. The women are Etla French. Ethel Griffin, Belle Treece, Celie Wilhelm and Amanda Vanover. A transcript in inc case was filed with the Supreme Court today
 The trial of the women grew out of one of the most spectacular affairs within recent years, it being charged that they publicly horsewhipped the Robinson woman at Leslie and gave her hours to leave town or suffer the consequences. In fact, it was charged tl.at they had her confined ill house where she was forcibly detained for several hours or until train could arrive upon which she could be sent out of the city. It was upon thls last charge that the convictions were en- tered and the women sentenced to pay q fine of $100 each.
 For a defense at the trial the wo- nan claimed that the Robinson wo- man was questionable character; that she had slept in vacant houses ahout town and even in the negro quarter of Leslie; that she was un--

duly bold in her attentions to the male element of the city, and that her presence had become unbearable to the women of Leslie. She had been warned to leave along with a woman companion. but had ignored the warning.
 The Robinson woman admitted that she had occupied vacant houses about town, bu. denied that she had ever slept in the negro section. The court decided that a fine should te entered against the defendants.
 At the time she was taken in charge by the women of the town her com- panion escaped through a back door of the place where they were staying. The trial at Leslie occupied several days and attracted much attention at the time.

H0T SPRINGS WANTS SPECIAL ELECTION Business Mems League Anx- ious to Fill Vacancy to be Left by Joe Robinson. ASKS COLONEL TAYLOR Department of the Interior Considers
 the Subject of Great Im'
 pOrtance.

Hot Springs, Dec. 5.-Active steps will be taken at the next regular meeting of the Business Mems League to have representation in congress from the Sixth congressional district from the time that the present repre- sentative, Governor-elect Robinson, resigns to take up the duties as chief executive of Arkansas, and the date when Congressman-elect Taylor will officially take his seat in congress. At present the negotiations to this end are held up on account of no one knowing just when Congressman Robinson will tender his resignation.
 Protect Local Legislation.
 It is generally conceded, however, that he will sever his relations with congress about January 1. Congress- man Taylor will take office March 4. In the intervening time the depart ment of the interior of the United States government anticipates that legislation affecting Hot Springs may come up for consideration in the house, in which event there would be no one from the Sixth congressional district to champion the same. The bill referred to contemplates the ex- penditure of several thousands of dollars for sanitary improvements, as we'll as for Identification projects. It is legislation that Hot Springs has been vitally interested in for years. Never before has this city been able to hope for success in this respect as at the present time.
 COnferS With TaylOr,
 George R. Bedding, secretary of the Business Mems League, communicat- ed with Congressman-elect Taylor today. The latter suggested that the exact date of Congressman Robinson $ resignation be ascertained, and then that proper steps be taken to get Governor Donaghey to call special election, so that the Sixth congress sional district may be represented all of the time until the next congress convenes.
 There are some who predict that the present session will he such g short one that the legislation afore- mentioned will not he taken up, but the department of the interior deems the matter of such importance tha they have virtually asked the Busi ness Mems League in this city to set that every precaution otherwise is taken to have adequate representation

 Tt happens that Taylor and Martin are close fir ends, though rivals in the .ast election for the office. They are he kind of men who remain friends Shrough political d fferences. If Hon.

The above is clipped from the want columns of the Arkansas Gazette and just to show that our heart is ill the right place we are reproducing it for nothing says the Hot Springs Bulle- tin We do not happen to enjoy the acquaintance of MT. Harris but we are for him. He is evidently busi- ness man. Being 49 years young and a travelling salesman you may just bet he knows things and when he goes to the want columns to get him a wife his superior judgment born of long experience vindicates and sub stantiates what we have been preach ing for years, viz. that you can get anything through the want columns.
 We want somebody to marry MT. Harris. He is good and enterpris- ing citizen and deserves it. He has got sense like a lead mule, is as practical as a boarding housekeeper and we'll capable of making any wo- man happy who has reached that point in life that she can talk to one man for whole minute at time without developing case of cross eyes try ing to look for another one on the side.
 George, we want to keep in touch with you, old boy and when you get her, and you will, never fear, just run over to Hot Springs and spend your honeymoon. Bless your old ad- vertising heart, we will see you through to the finish. And look here, we would offer you some more space but we will bet four gallons of Hot Springs water that you won't need it. It will take mighty little for boy with a head like yours to land and land queen at that
 You're al right George, just go as as far as you like, Kid.
