DORMHORY FOR
HENDRIX PLANNED
BUILDING TO Be FIREPROOF
FIRST OF GROUP OF MARTIN
MEMORIAL BUILDINGS To
BE ERECTED SOON.

Preliminary plans of new FIRE
proof dormintory building for Hen
dirk College, the first of group To
be erected as a memorial to Capt W.
W Martin, were decided upon at a
meeting Of committee composed of
Governor G.. w. Donaghey, President
in Little Rock yesterday afternoon.
The detailed plans and specifications
will be drafted by Architect Charles
l.. Thompson of Little Rock at once,
and as soon as these are completed
an active canvass for funds for the
erection of the building will be
started.
The general plan for the dormi-
tory is the result of an investigation
made by DR.. Millar and Prof. Burr
during the summer, when they Wis
tied several of the leading universi-
ties and colleges of the north and
central states. Built entirely of con-
crete and steel. the buildings will be
absolutely fireproof, and, as Dr. Mil
lar expresses it, will last for 500 OF
1000 years. 1t will be constructed
in a system of units" each inde-
pendent of the other yet correlated
with the whole structure, so that the
capacity Of the dormitory may be
easily increased as occasion may re-
Guire 1t is proposed that the build
ings shall at first consist of five OF
these units" although if sufficient
funds are not raised at preesnt only
three or four may be constructed.
The estimated cost of the building is
$4,000 to $60,000
The dormitorv is to be one of a
scheme of four buildings to cost in the
aggregate about 100000 and to be
erected as a memorial to Capt. w. W
Martin, Hendrix Colleges chief bene-
factor, whose long and useful life
came to an end last December. The
form of the memorial was decided
upon at the annual meeting of the
board of trustees held here last
March. The other proposed build
ings are a science hall, library and
a gymnasium.
AS soon as Architect Thompson
completes the plans, Prof. w. 3.
Hubbell, business manager of the col
lege, will inaugurate a campaign for
subscriptions for the erection of the
dormitory, and the college officials
hope that only few months will
elapse before work on the much
NEEDED new building can be begun.

hALBROOK PUPILS
COMING TO FAIR
SCHOOL WILL SEND ESQ
INTEREST IN BIG EVENT HERE
IN OCTOBER AT HIGHEST
PITCH EVER KNOWN.

Coming $50 strong, with three
floats and a big brass band, the pupils
of the Halbrook system of schools,
will be here in a body to attend the
! educational day program at the
Faulkner county fair, Tuesday, Octo-
Der s, according to Supt. w. E. Hal
brook, who is in Conway today max
ing arrangements for the arrival of
the big delegation. The schools under
Prof. Halbrook's supervision are To-
Gated at Martinville, Damascus and
Choctaw, and these schools are pre-
pairing to put forth strong effort to
win the prizes offered in the educa-
tional department,
With 500 or 600 people coming
from that immediate section, Prof.
Halbrook realized that it would be
impossible for the crowd to obtain ac-
commodations in houses and has ar
ranged for large camping ground,
where the visitors will make their
home during their stay here Prof.
E Halbrook says he never before saw
such interest manifested in fair,
in the northwestern part of the
county, and it looks as if everyone in
that section would be here.
His statement is in accord with
those of NJ. C. Canada and B. A. Ar
thur, both of whom have just return
ed from extensive advertising trips on
behalf of the fair. They declare the
interest is not confined to any one Sec
ton of country or class of people, but
is universal and if anything can be
judged from present indications, the
crowd in Conway from October 8 to
II, inclusive, will be tremendous
So many professional race horses
have already been entered for the
fair, that Manager King will have to
have large number of additional
stalls constructed Seven were enter
ed by one man today, in addition to
about 25 already entered, and letters
of inquiry are being received from
other horsemen in every mail. 1t is
declared that the races this year will
be by far the best ever given here.
There will be no exhibition" races in
which the purses are equally divided,
but the rules of the American Trot-
ting Association will be followed
strictly, and every race will be 20 real
contest for the prize money.
Manager King reports a splendid
advance sale of season tickets. The
tickets, which are on sale at the local
banks and drug stores, are good for
both day and night events, the price
for the four days and night being
only $15O. The season tickets will
remain on sale for only a limited
time.

.D0U}i p'NER TO
REVOKE FRANCHISE
COUNCIL. DEFERS ACTION
ON TELEPHONE RESOLUTION
CITY FATHERS HOLD A
BUSY SESSION.
From Wedr esdays Dolly.


Hesitating to adopt a resolution re-
voking the franchise of the South
western Telephone Company for an
exchange in this city on account of a
doubt as the legality of such action,
the city council last night postponed
a vote on the resolution and appoint
ed a committee to confer with Off
cals Of the company in an effort to
secure their agreement to the subSti-
1ation of a new franchise in which
maximum rates for service would be
stipulated The members present
were unanimous in expressing fav-
0rable attitude toward the resolution,
which was introduced by Alderman
Z. B. McCulloch, but a majority of
them were inclined to favor settling
the controversy by agreement if pos
sible, rather than through the courts.
The committee appointed consists of
Aldermen Donnell, McCulloch and
Robbins.
The resolution, a forecast of which
was published in Mondays daily, re-
cites that the Southwestern company
has failed, according to its own ad-
missions, to provide a suitable and
proper telephone service, in compli-
ance with the terms of its franchise,
and also that it is IAN unlawful trust
and not entitled to do business in the
state of Arkansas" Under the reso-
luton the company is directed to re
move its poles, wires and other prop
erty from the streets within 60 days,
and in event of their failure to do SO,
the marshal is instructed, to cut down
and remove all such poles immediate
ly after the expiration Of the 60 days.
The session of the council was an
unusually busy one. The first resolu
ton presented and adopted was one
levying the usual five mill municipal
tax, which was ordered certified to
the county levying court.
The second annual report Of the
waterworks improvement board was
read and referred to the finance COM
rnittee. A summary of the report ap-
pears elsewhere in this paper.
The monthly report of Superin-
tendent E. V. Leverett of the light
plant was read and referred. The re-
port shows collections for current,
sprinkhng water amounting to
SSUL.04, anu ulSDuTScHlcHCS IOI tii
purposes amounting to $836.94, of
which $129.40 was paid out for i'm
provements and extensions.
The marshal's report showed col
lections during the month amounting
to $204.00.
Representing the City Beautiful
Association Mesdames G. H. Burr
and j. Hayden appeared before the
council and requested the appropria-
ton of 500 to be used in lighting the
courthouse grounds. The light plant
committee assured the ladies the
lights would be installed early next
spring and be paid for out of the
light plants receipts.
w. NJ. Harrell & Co. presented a
petition for the erection of sheet
iron shed adjoining their barn on
North street. The petition was re-
ferred to the street and alley commit
tee with power to act, and the COM
mittee granted the request.
