LOCAL ATTORNEYS WON M0THFR'SS SUIT Mrs, Adelia P. Danaher, of Little Rock, Gets Judg-
 ment for $6, 300. IN SUPREME: COURT Sued Telephone Company Because Her
 Phone Was Taken Out of
 Her Home.
IN SUPREME COURT

In the Supreme Court at Little Rock yesterday Mrs. Adelia P. Danaher, of Little Rock, mother of M. Danaher and Palmer Danaher, of this city, won her suit for damages against the Southwestern Telegraph and Tele- phone Company, and was given jdug- ment for $6,3OO. The court affirmed the decision of the Pulaski circuit court, which gave Mrs. Danaher a penalty of $100 per day for each day that she was deprived of the use of telephone at her home in that city, after the company had removed the phone because it contended that Mrs. Danaher had not paid her telephone bills which allegation was denied Her sons filed the suit for her there.
 The action accrued in 1908, the telephone company alleging that Mrs. Danaher was in arrears for phone ser vice to the amount of several months rental. This arrearage was denied by Mrs. Danaher, who declined to pay the claim. The telephone company then proceeded to remove the telephone from the building, over the objection of Mrs. Danaher. who filed suit through her attorneys, Danaher & Danaher, charging that the telephone cesapany was Violating the statute which requires a public service cor poration to furnish equal service to all patrons. The penalty of $100 al- lowed for all convictions on discrim- ination charges was asked by the plaintiff for each day the service was discontinued, a total of 63 days, or SC, 300.
 The lower court held that the tele- phone company was net warranted in removing the telephone, even in case there had been a claim for back ren- tals, and allowed judgment for the full amount. This was sustained by the supreme court.
 The contention by attorneys for the plaintiff, was that, in case there were . back claim, the company should proceed to litigate the matter as any other claim Is adjusted, without proceeding to the extremity of cutting off service.

MRS ROY SEWARD
 BADLY INJURED
Husb md and Son Also Thrown From Buggy When 1t Runs Over Unprotected Pile of Rubbish
 On Walnut Street.

Mrs. Roy Senyard was probably seriously injured and her husband and little son, Fred Senyard, were painfully though not seriously hurt at about 8 o'clock Sunday evening, while driving South on Walnut street, between Third and Fourth avenues. They were thrown from their buggy, when it was driven over l pile of rubbish that is said to have been deposited in the street by the employees of the Pine Bluff Natural Company. No danger light was plac- ed on the rubbish and neither the aorse nor driver of the rig, Mir
 senyard, saw it until the buggy toppled and threw the occupants heavily to the pavement. A pedes- rain ran into the street and grabb- 9d the animal and probably prevent ed it from running away.
 Little Rred Senyard was thrown ten feet and is it miracle that he escaped with but a few slight bruises. MT. Senyard also excaped serious injury, but Mrs. Senyardr who sustained the. heaviest fall and who was dragged along the street underneath the buggy, was left un- conscious. She was hurriedly taken into a neighboring home, where two physicians were called and admins tered to her. She was later removed to her home and remained in semi conscious state for some time. Her condition yesterday was somewhat improved. but she was still in a serious condition. f23
 MT. Senyard declared yesterday that many persons witnessed the ac- cident and are positive that no dang CT light WAS anywhere around the rubbish that had keen piled up 1T the street, presumably by the Gas company workmen. He says he was not driving fast, but that the horse
 was just trotting along at al low speed when the accident occurred.

Former Michigan Congress man Tells Pine Bluffians
 How to Go Forward.
USE HOME CAPITAL
Many Business Men at Enthusiastic Meeting at Chamber of Com
 nlercc Last Night.

D. D. Aitkcn, former Congressman and one time mayor of Flint Mich, now one of the greatest of thc smaller industrial cities of this country, preached a sermon of homo progress at the Chamber of Com merce last night before q 'congre- gation' of local Hive wires," busi- ness men, bankers, lawyers, city and county officials and others in terested in the progress and dcvel- opment of this city and section Charles w. Swenson, of Chicago, a colonization man; Carl C. Magee, of Tulsa, Okla., who has been identified with commercial clut work there, and Simon Whitestone, packing house promoter, also made enthusi- astic addresses, of which local en- terprise and progress were the keynotes.
 While the addresses were all in teresting and encouraging, MT. Ait Een's sermon to the 'business lay men" was a gem. MT. Aitken based his remarks on actual accomplish ments and real experience in hie home city, with which he has heen identified practically all his life seeing it grow from a little town to one of the most important nanufacz turing cities in the North.
 After being introduced by Attor- ney A. H. Powell, who officiated as master of ceremonies for the even ing, MT. Aitken reviewed the won derful rogress of Flint, which has been brought about through the ef- forts of home people with home capi. tai. Flint, he said was formerly a lumber town, but the timber indus try died out, so to speak, and the men of means, with a few exceptions (those who never believe in progress under any circums.tances, the same as we have in Pine Bluff) realized that something must be done to save their own interests and help the town go forward instead of back ward. They invested their money in small industrial plants that have grown to the most important indus tries of their kind in the world. He told of how the Buick Motor Com. pany Originated and how lthe Du- rant-Dort Carriage Company devel- oped into the greatest concern of it's kind in the world-with nothing but home made energy behind it. Ac- cording to MT. Aitken $100,000 wae subscribed Ey the directors of banks alone, in one day, to make one plant reality. The Buick Motor Company has a payroll of nearly $500,000 a month and the payroll of the industrial plants in Flint aver. age one million dollars a month.
 "You must do things yourself at home," said MT. Aitken, eff you ever want your city to amount to any thing. No men are coming here tt build up your town for you. If yor are of that opinion you are laborinp under a delusion Create something to make wealth. Create values. Ge' industries here of your own con- struction, with your own capital You won't have any trouble gettina railroads if you do. Equalize your taxes so that the laboring man will pay the same tax as the banker Tor have got to be interested in youI city and your industries if you wanf success for yourself. Take your
