GETS FRANCHISE
SECRET CAUCUSlIS HELD
LITTLE ROCK ALDERMEN DIS
CUSS MEASURE BEHIND
CLOSED DOORS.

Little Rock, June AFTER a Sc
cret caucus in the mayors office last
ing a few minutes, the city council
brought up the franchise to furnish
electrical current of the Arkansas
Cold Storage Company and passed it
by a vote of II to 2. Aldermen Whit
comb and Younger stood out against
the ordinance, but the following al
dermen voted in favor of it: Nc
Cain, Harper, Lesser, Rogoski, Smith,
Hollis, Lange, Cunningham, Adams
and Pardee. Immediately after the
minutes of the preceding meeting
were read, Alderman Smith moved
that the regular order of business be
dispensed with and the franchise
matter be taken up. The ordinance
was then read the third time and
passed without discussion. If there
was any fighting it was evidently in
the star chamber session.
The Arkansas Cold Storage Com
pany, by the terms of the franchise,
is granted the right to lay pipes, con-
du!ts, wires, etc, through the city
and supply electricity for a term of
80 years. 1t is required on January
20 of each year to pay into the city
treasury one-half Of one per cent of
the gross receipts during the first 10
years, one per cent of the gross re-
ceipts during the second 10 years,
provided that no annual payment
shall be less than $500. The COM
pany shall file a sworn statement in
the city clerks office each year of
gross receipts, and the council shall
have the right at any time to make a
thorough examination Of the books
and accounts for the purpose of as
pertaining the gross receipts.

MORE THAN ONE
JACK THE SHOOTER
THEORY OF |. R. POLICE
OFFICERS BELIEVE, HOWEV
Err, BRASSFIELD GUILTY OF
COULTER MURDER.

Little Rock, May 31.-The detec-
tives and local authorities who are
working on the case of Jack the
Shooter are convinced of two things:
That there are several men engaged
in the preparation of the crimes that
have terrorized the people, and that
Sam Brassfield, man arrested at
Searcy Wednesday, is the man who
shot and killed the child of d. P.
Coulter May 10.
Brassfeld, former member of the
Argenta police force, from which he
was discharged two years ago, is in
safe quarters where he is being care
fully guarded by the police. They
had worked up strong chain OF EVIL
dence against him before he was ar
rested, and the police are confident
that they have the right man. He
has been positively identified by Miss
Marion Smith, aged Is years, who
was with Mrs. Coulter at the time
the latter'S child was shot and Killed.
Miss Smith had seen him during the
preceding day at Forrest park, where
she is employed, and the theory is
that he followed her and forced his
way into her room for unlawful pur
poses.
1t is said that during recent years
Brassfeld has had 'queer" spells and
frequently left home for week at a
tine without telling his wife where
he was going. He was indicted by
the federal grand jury April 6 on a
charge of impersonating a postoffice
and is under $500 bond on
that charge.

was saying. Her reply was emphatic
that she was sure Bransfeld was the
man who killed the Coulter babe"
Bransfield was member of the
Argenta police department for two
or three years, although his service
was not continuous. He quit the
force about two years ago, and a
member of the Argenta force said
last night that Bransfield was dis
charged. After leaving the force,
he served for a time as deputy con-
stable of Constable India.
He also served as a special patrol
man in Little Rock during the four
days of the Confederate reunion in
May of last year.
1t is the theory of the Little Rock
police that the man, whom they now
believe to be Bransfield, was attract
ed by the Smith girl and followed
her, hoping to make her a victim.
After finding that she YVES staying
in the Coulter home, they believe he
took desperate chance and entered
it, although it was out of the district
in which he usually operated. The
room in which the murder occurred
was very dark, and it is the theory
of the police that the man, thinking
to intimidate the two women, fired at
the bed between them, not knowing
that the babe was there.

.P|NDALL ELOQUENT
IN PLEA FOR RAfA
SAYS CLIENTS CUILTLESS
FOR MER EXECUTIVE URGES
GOV. DONAGHEY TO FREE
ALLEGED SLAYER.

Little Rock, May 30.-One of the
most eloquent pleas ever made for
mans life was made Wednesday aft
ernoon by eX-Gov. X. O. Pindall be-
fore Gov. Donaghey on behalf of w
IS. Rhea, who the supreme court has
said must hang for the murder OF
! Constable Vital Archard near Du-
mas. The occasion was the presenta-
ton of an affidavit of William Lind
sew, a negro, to the effect that Rhea
was not with the mob of negroes who
shot and killed Archard. The only
ones present at the conference was
Sherman Atkinson, the court report
er who reported the Rhea trial, and
newspaper correspondent. Yet, Mr..
Pindall spoke with all the earnest
ness, the eloquence, and the fervor
that could have moved him had he
been addressing 10000; in fact, with
greater, as he realized he was ap-
pearing before the court of last re-
sort, a court not bound by rules of
evidence and the fine technicalities of
law and percedent.
Other affidavits have been present
ed to the governor, all of which he
has under consideration. He has care
fully refrained from giving any init
nation of his course, but those who
are familiar with the conditions are
confident that Rhea will never be
hanged. Mr.. Pindall, who has de-
voted year to a careful analysis OF
the vouminous record, asserts with
all the sincerity and zeal at his COM
mand that Rhea is absolutely guilt
less of the crime charged against
him; that he was not present at the
time of the killing by four negroes
whose guilt is not denied, and did not
aid or abet in the killing; that Maj.
Davis and other negroes who had a
personal interest in fixing the crime
upon another had conspired to charge
Rhea with it; that an analysis OF the
evidence of the witnesses for the
state alone is sufficient to disprove
the theory of the prosecution.
Rhea has all the time assumed the
attitude of innocence, declaring that
he can say nothing else but that he IS
innocent, and that he had no part in
the killing.

AMERICANS SHOULD
LEARN TO FARM.

That the average American is a
poor farmer is the conclusion we all
must reach after reading a statement
made by the National Soil Fertility
League. which is a summary of
statistics OF farm yields in the Uni
ted States compared with production
in foreign countries.
The average wheat yield for the
United States for ten years is a little
over IA bushels per acre. while in
Europe, upon lands that were in
cultivation many centuries before
our sod was turned, the wheat aver
ages are % bushels in Germany. 32
in England, 40 in Denmark. 1t is
not uncommon to have yields of so
bushels or more in France and Italy.
Why? Simply because of better

The statement just published was
probably the most satisfactory one
to the producers since these state

The surplus stocks decreased 49,
212,454 pounds and are now at the
lowest point ever reported; total
deliveries were the largest for any
month of this year; exports were T.
100000 pounds over last month and
the daily average production was at
a rate which was less than for any
month since the statements were be-
gun, with the exception of July this
year and January 1909. From the
best reports that we can obtain of

refinery output this month should
be a little larger than reported. Con-

KARL STEVENS Is
TAKEN INTO CUSTODY

After wandering aimlessly about
Reno for two days after he had
escaped from the Nevadl hospital
for mental diseases, Karl Stevens of
McGill, was captured by the police
officers of the Riverside city. He
was delivered into the hands of the
asylum officials, who have declared
their intention of keeping the de-
mented youth under strict surveil-
lance.
Stevens became tired of the
routine at that institution, after only
a months sojourn, and departed
about ten days ago without inform
ing anyone of his ultimate destina-
ton. His absence was reported to
the officers in Reno, as soon as 1t
was discovered that he was missing.
He was taken into cutody, only
after a thorough search had been
made of the surrounding country.
The patient was committed to the
asylum from McGill. and an overin-
diligence in intoxicants is believed
to be responsible for his present
condition.
