REYNOLDS MAY BE
 UNIVERSITY HEAD
NEW PRESIDENT ISLIKELY
REGENT STUDENT UPRISING MAY RESULT IN CHANGED
 ADMINISTRATION

Prof. J H. Reynolds, formerly of Faulkner county and for several years member of the Hendrix Col lege faculty, is mentioned in Fayette- vile dispatches as a possibility for president of the University of Arkan- sas, to succeed President Tillman.
 The recent student uprising at the university d special to the Gazette states, has brought out the question of retirement of some of the faculty |! IS also a question of interest as to whether the recent troubles will have Il bearing upon the election of pres ident for the university when the board meets in regular session in June. Very little seems to be known as to the plans of the board of trus- tees. A few weeks ago when the stu dent strike was settled the board members promised the students that they would conduct an investigation III the near future and go into matters Ut the university thoroughly The in VestlgatiUn has not been started, and nothing definite seems to be known by the student leaders as to when the board will enter upon this work.
 Since the settlement of the stu dent strike, letters have been address ed to members of the alumni of the university, written, so it seems, un- der the impression that the board is contemplating some action in regard { to securing another president. These letters come from an alumnus of the university and urge the alumni to communicate with the board of trus- tees and indicate the character of a man they want elected to the presi- dency. Whether the board of trustees contemplates making q change is not known. Judge Tillman seems to feel ! that he has no intention of retiring. He regards the report that he will not be retained as being wholly unautho- rized, and says that the report is got ten out in an effort to create an inn pression that such action will be talk en in June, and can be traced to a somewhat unsavory conspiracy of one or two individuals, whose aspirations will not be furthered by the employ ment of such means Judge Tillman will talk little about the matter at present.
 There is much speculation as to what action the board will take in June should change in admin:stra- tion be taken. It is suggested that in case they should make a change ol that Judge Tillman should retire, that the board would probably elect a pres ent member of the faculty temporar- fly until time could be allowed fol thorough consideration of a man fol the position. The names of several members of the faculty have beer mentioned in connection. Among those considered is Prof. J. H. Reynolds
 head of the department of History
 who has just returned from year. study abroad. Another name men
 toned is Dr, c. F. Adams, dean ol the college of agriculture. Dr. Ad
 ams, it is said, is regarded very high
 ly by members of the board"

REPUBLICANS PICK
 TAFT DELEGATION
COUNTY CONVENTION HELD
ADMINISTRATION FORCES ARE IN COMPLETE CONTROL OF
 G. o. P. MEETING.

The Taft forces won a complete victory without q struggle in the Re- publican county convention which was held at the courthouse here Wednes- day afternoon. So effectual was the administration organization that the Roosevelt adhercnts, if there were ony present, failed to offer any opposi- ton, the vote on every proposition be- ng practically unanimous The num- Der of delegates present was small, less than half of the township in the county being represented
 The convention was organized by the election of J M Garrett chair man and Ed Canister secretary. The election of delegates was the most important business transacted, the following being chosen:
 Delegates to the State Convention
 W A. Graham, J NJ. Garrett, 0. J. Owen, G. E. Owen and w. A. Lindsey. Altcrnates-A C. Nichol- son, J A. Setzler, L. T. Lasley, J w. Boydston and Sam Collins.
 Delegates to the Congressional Con vent.on-J. L. Corey, o. J. Owen, l.. T. Lasley, A. w. Winston and w. A. Graham Alternates-B. S. Shock, J A. Setzler, J K. Ware, l. R. Reynolds and J M. Whitten
 Although they are all strong Taft supporters, the delegates to the state convention were uninstructed. The delegates to the congressional conven- tion, however, were directed to vote for John Bruce Cox, prominent Roosevelt supporter, as delegate to the national Republican convention This, it is stated, was done as a com pliment to MT. Cox, a native Conway oung man.
 It was decided not to nominate a unty Republican ticket in the. con ,ntion, but a committee was appoint .ed and given power to put out ticket l. ter should it be deemed advisable. This committee is composed of 0. J . Owen, c. A. Simmons, & II . Mathews, w. M Lyon and A. w . Winston.
 A new Republican county central committee was elected, o. J. Owen be- ing the member from Cadron town ship.

ALIENATION SUIT
AGAINST WITNESS
Expect 10 Clear Mystery
Which Has Puzzled Chi
CaQOaDS for Months

Special to The Tribune.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, June PA mystery
that has puzzled Chicagoans for many
months is expected to be cleared up
in the trial of the $4,000 alienation
suit brought by John c. Henning
against Clarence S. Funk, which was
called in the circuit court today for
hearing. Funk, the defendant in the
suit, is the general manager Of the
International Harvester Company and
will be recalled as the. man whose
testimony in the Lorimer investigation
did more to blacken the cause of the
Illinois senator than that of any other
witness.
One of the most sensational cases
ever brought in the Chicago courts,
the charge by Mr.. Henning that Mr..
Funk alienated the affections OF the
formers wife, came as a political
thunderbolt. The papers were filed
within a few days after Mr.. Funk
made his sensational charge against
Edward Hines, president of a lumber
company-that Hines in the lobby OF
.the Union League Club asked him Tor
a subscription to defray the expense
of putting Lorimer over"
Prior to the bringing Of the suit
Henning and his wife were employed
in small positions at one of the Chi
cago hotels. After the suit was
brought they left the city and were
renorted to be spending the winter
at one of the expensive resorts In
the south. Mr.. Funk has denied from
the first that he ever knew Henning
or his wife.

brought here today by medical exam.
iners from the scene of last nights
disaster at Eagle Park, on the West
shore of Grand Island about ten miles
below Buffalo, where over q hundred
persons were thrown into the Niagara
river by the collapse of the excursion
dock. identified dead:
Mrs. Arthur Mayer.

Catharine Wolff.
Irene Thomas,

In the terror and confusion of the
accident families became separated,
and there is but faint hope that some
Of those listed as missing may be
found today. There seems little doubt
however, that the list of dead at least
will reach twenty.
George Richmeyer, who lost his wife
and ten year old son saw them carried
clear Of the wreckage by a current
that sweeps past the dock at a rate
of ten miles an hour. He was cling
ing to a pile, holding his infant son in
his arms, and could do nothing to save
the other members of his family.
George Mckee, who lost his wife
and his infant son, saw them go down
in a mass of struggling persons. The
section of the dock which gave way
was about fifty feet in length and
about twenty-five feet in width.
Medical examiners who examined
the wreckage at dawn found many Of
the broken planks rotten, and that d.
rectly beneath the collapsed portion
Of the structure there were no sup
porting piles. The excursionists were
members and their friends Of Court
Amherst Lodge No. 232 of the For
esters of America, who were on an
annual outing.
