From Mordsy's DAILY.
In the presence of 4 congregation

John Jeoer HUT yesterday morning
delivered the baccalaureate sermon to
the senior class OF the Arkansas
State Normal School. With perfect
weather, tie fourth annual COM
mencoment eXerc ses had an auSpic-
ious beginning.
In spite OF the fact that many of
the students had returned to their
homes as soon as they completed
their examinations, more than 200
of them were IN the line which form
ed to nlarcn to the service, and as
they entered the church the chorus
sang the process .onal, "The Son of
Goo Goes Forth to War"
AS an invocation the boys glee club
sang Abide with Me-" which was
followed by the chorus, praise Ye
the Father" DR.. }. W. Conger of

Tongues"
Revealed Truth" was the subject
of Rev. Hurts discourse, which,
though brief, was one of the most elo-
quent ever heard here. After point
ing out that the truth of God Is re-
vealed in every one of Natures mar
velous creations, from the highest to
the lowest, the minister narrowed his
theme to a discussion Of the revela-
tion of the truth in our own expert
ences and took for his text the vision
of Jacob as described in the 31st
chapter of Genesis. Such experiences
as this, Rev. Hurt declared, are land
marks in the life of every person, to
which he can in after years look back
upon for comfort when assailed by
doubt and encouragement. ITO know
how to worship Cod" the minister
said, ''is the greatest problem before
any people, for when it is solved all
other questions are solved with it,

ORDERS new PIPE
FOR WATERWORKS
MUCH Will BE RfLAID
CONTRACTOR M'COPPIN WILL
REMOVE ALL DEFEC1lNE r
MAINS AT ONCE.
From Mondays S Daily.

FROM MONDAY D2iy.
Failing n an effort to get the
Wyckoff Pipe Company to replace the
defective and leaky wooden pipe sup
Piled by them for the Conway water
works system, Contractor Joseph Nc
Coppin has placed an order with a
Michigan factory for new white pine
mains which will be laid throughout
the city in every place where leaky
pipe is discovered. Mr.. McCippin,
who came up from Little Rock this
morning, states the first carload of
new pipe will be shipped from the
factory today and IS expected to
reach here by the end of next week.
The first shipment will contain a
little more than a mile of pipe, prin-
cipaly of the four-inch size, with
which the most trouble has been eX-
perienced. AS soon as it arrives a
large force of men will be put to
work digging out the defective mains
and replacing them with the new
pipe. The operation of the plant, Mr..
McCoppin states, will be continued
during the reconstruction work, and
the service of no consumer will be in
terfered with, except for brief pc
riods.
Il believe the white pine pipe will
be superior to the cypress" said Mr.
McCoppin today. 1T is impossible to
tell now how much of the old pipe will
have to be taken up and replaced
with new, but the people may be as
sured that none except that which
meets every test will be left"

CAMPAIGN ON FOR
GREATER CENTRAL
TO RAISE $4,000 HERE
WEST WING TO ACCOMMODATE
FORTY MORE STUDENTS is
r TO BE ERECTED.
From Mondays Daily

INOiuAy DhAS-
The campaign is on for n Greater
Central College. 1t will be short. The
board of trustees will mees at Arka-
delphia next Monday, and final re-
port will be made to them then. A
gathering that overfiowed the main
auditorium of the Baptist church and
we'll nigh filled the Sunday school au-
d:torium, heard last night with fapt
attention some announcements from
Rev. j. J. Hurt concerning the cam
paign, and an eloquent address on the
subject by Mr.. w. D. Upshaw, editor
of the Golden Age Of Atlanta, Ga.
Mr.. Hurt stated that he was due in
Durham, N. c., this week, but that
he was anxious to know before leav-
ing here that the location of Central
College is fixed in Conway forever;
that provision be made for additional
rooms for students, and that d move
ment be actually started for new
building in which there shall be a
modern aud torium and a conserva-
tory of music and other fine arts.
For these reasons he is delaying his
!, departure for Durham. Plans for
the above mentioned things have
been worked out, and the board of
trustees has committed itself to them.
The citizens of Conway are asked
to give $4,000, TO be used in erect
ing west wing to the college build
ing. This IS much needed. Last year
was DR.. Conger's first session, and
yet there was not room enough to ac-
commodate the students. The add
tional wing will give accommodations
TO 40 more students, and these will
bring at least $4,000 or $4,000 20
Conway the first year. Last year the
number of boarding students was
three times as many as the year De-
fore, and the college received from
these about $28, ,000-besides what
they spent in town.
Hereafter Central College is 10
have it's own separate board of trus-
tees, men who will be concerned with
her problems only. This is consider
ed by Conway citizens most forJu-
nate move. Not only so, but the loint
board has already committed itself to
a campaign to raise, as early as pos
sible, a sum not less than $4,000 for
the erection of a conservatory OF flne
arts on the carpus. Thu money is to
be raised in the state at large, and
Conway people are not to be asked to
contribute What Conway is asked
to do now is to contribute the $4,000
for the wing to the building; and the
other things will follow.
Several fine subscriptions have
been made already. Interesting an
nouncements will be made to meet
ing at the Baptist church tonight
Everybody is invited to this meeting
There will be no collections at the
church. Mr.. Upshaw will speak again
tonight Arkadelphia has already
raised her $4,000, and those in
charge of the campaign here are anx-
ious to raise within two or three days
the $4,000 asked from Conway. Sub
scriptions will be taken to be paid in
four intsallments. A bulletin board
in front of the postoffice Will tell of
the progress of the campaign.

DAYS MEETING.

Another meeting in the interest of
the Central College addition will be
held at the Baptist church tonight.
Those in charge say the rule of "tak-
ing no subscriptions and asking for
no speeches will be observed to-
night, as heretofore. 1t is desired
that every citizen who is interested
shall be posted on the plans that are
on foot, and the probable advantage
to be reaped from them.
Will D. Upshaw spoke again last
night, and, as heretofore, held the at
tention of his hearers from begin
ming to end. President Conger said
he was pleased with the kindly feel
ing towards the college which had
been evidenced on every hand, but
urged that those who really expected
to help in creating the additional
wing to the building help now Sub
scriptions are being taken to be paid
in four equal semi-annual INSTALL
ments.
Rev. j. j. Hurt said there was
great danger in losing out because of
the shortness of time. He urged the
people to think on the amount of
work to be done, and decide what
they could do. He said it would be
impossible to make two or three
trips to see each individual, and also
call on all the people this week. The
campaign would have to close, so far
as he was concerned, by Friday night
in order that he spend the last day
packing his furniture and loading it
on the freight car.

HOCNN HAS TOLD STORY
OF DYNAMITE PLOT, SAYS
DISTRICT ATTORNEY MILLER
HAS SUPPLIED GoVERNMEN nj
WITH NEEDED EVIDENCE
AGAINST cO-DGFENDANTS.

Indianapolis, Oct. 5. = Herbert S
Hockin, acting secretary treasurer OF
the International Association OF
Bridge and Structural Iron Workers
has supplied the government with evil
dence against his fellow defendants
in the "dynamiting cases." according
TO a statement made in court today
by District Attorney Miller.
According to Ortie E. Mechanical
Hockin was as bold as were the Nc
Namaras in causing the explosions
against employers of non-union labor
and was an inventor" of the alarm
clock scheme by which the Los An,
geles Times building was blown up
some time after the bomb had been
lighted and ]. b. Mcnamara had es
capped.
Mr.. Miller's statement caused a
sensation. All the other forty-five
defendants looked toward Hock1n, VINO
sat in their midst burying his head
in a newspaper. Next to Frank M.
Ryan, president of the Ironworkers'
Union, Hockin had been considered
the most prominent of the defen-
dants.
Long before the Los Angeles Times
building was blown up Mr.. Miller de-
clared, a quarrel among McManigal,
Hockin and ]. B. Mcnamara over the
fixed price which was to be paid the
men for dynamiting jobs occurred, ,and
McManigal threatened to expose the
others.
McManigal said: Il have a notion
to quit this business and give it
away" asserted District Attorney
Miller. IF you do, your life won't be
worth much,' replied Hockin. Hoe
kin had been keeping back part OF
McManigal's money. They patched up
their differences, James B. McNamara
went to California and did his de-
structive work there. But as soon as
the governments investigation began
Hockin began to double cross the un-
ion by personally bringing evidence
to the federal building" continued
Miller.
Hockin formerly lived in Detroit
McManigal was working on a building
there in 1907, when, according to his
confession, he was first induced by
Hockin to go into the dynamiting
business.
