Dave Brown, manager OF the Ar
ena Ice rink. thought that hockey
would boost the skating end Of his en-
terprise for a while and secure him q
lot of publicity and that perhaps in a
few years the game Itself would be
making money for him.
SO some time ago he organized an
amateur team here, hired press
agent and started merrily on his way,
knowing no more OF hockey as a
sport than does a Mexican padre, and
TO all intents and purposes caring
less as long as the game brought the
name of Browns Arena into the head
lines.
Brown saw that enthusiasts for
hockey must be made. SO he proceed

a frenzy over the game.

an experiment that will be at.

athletic association OF that in
stitution has just took action to
that effect. The arguments ad-

hurt the playing ability or a
man to be worried with The

was too difficult for the quarter
back to select plays that would
suit both the captain and the
coach.

RAILROAD TO NORTH
AROUSING INTEREST

Little Rock, May 9.-The Little
Rock and Northern railroad commit
tee at Floral has sent to the Board of
Trade a statement of the amount OF
business the proposed road should OBJ
tain between the Red and White riv-
ers, a distance of 33 miles. The let
ter is decidedly optimistic, mentioning
the fact that there is an abundance
of timber throughout that section,
and many inland towns that are good
trade centers. l.. w. Gilbert of the
Floral committee is of the opinion
that the road would pay from the day
it is put into operation.
E. M. Reeves, secretary of the
railroad committee at Cushman, an
other booster for the road, has writ
ten that a mass meeting was held
there recently, and it was decided to
give the road a free right-of-way,
should it go through Cushman. The
citizens also believe they will be able
to donate $4,000 to the enterprise.

ROBINSON FORCES
COMPLETE SLATE
FOR STATE CONVENTION
DOMINANT ELEMENT IN PAR
TY HAVE PRACTICALLY
AGREED ON LINEUP.

Little Rock, May 13-From sources
which leave no question as to anthem
ITCHY, it has been learned that
friends of Joe T. Robinson, nominee
for governor, who will dominate the
state Democratic convention, have,
after several conferences, reached an
agreement on the slate for the con-
vention to be held here early mkt

Stve Carrigan, Jr., of Hope will
preside as temporary chairman of
the convention, with Ed Stanley of
Little Rock as temporary secretary.
The permanent chairman will be Vol

manent secretary Walter Hendrix of

mittee will be reorganized by the cleo
ton of Judge A j. Walls of Lonoke
as chairman and w. G. Hutton of
Little Rock as secretary. Judge Will
liam Kavanaugh of Little Rock will
be elected national committeeman.
For the big Four" delegates to the
national convention, Senators James
P. Clarke and Jeff Davis and Mr..
Robinson are considered three GER
tainties. The Robinson forces favor
Prof. j. H. Hinemon as the fourth
member, but it is thought that Cover

effort to secure the honor for him,
and Jerry South and Stephen Brun-
didge are also said to be aspirants.

gates from the Fifth congressional
district are George Patterson of

Will SEND white
CONv|CTS TOFARM

Little Rock, May 1.-THE peni-
tertiary board Monday afternoon
adopted resolution by Secretary OF
State Hodges to transfer all OF the
surplus white convicts now held at
the walls near this city, to the state
farm, to be employed in building a
railroad from the farm to Warner.
The superintendent reports III white
men at the walls, with work for not
more than 35 or 40 of them. 1t has
been the policy of the board to send
no white men to the farm on account
of the malarial conditions, but it is
believed that this can be done now
with safety.

MORGAN SPARED
AT LAST MOMENT
SENTENCE IS COMMITTED
COURT OFFICIALS INDUCE
GOV. DONAGHEY TO GRANT
COMPUTATION.
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
Walter Morgan, who was to have
bee managed at Harrisburg today, has
been given his life by Governor Don
aghey, who at late hour last night
committed his sentence to life impris-
onment in the penitentiary.
The governor took this action when
an appeal was made to him by Judge
Frank Smith, before whom Morgan
was tried, and Prosecuting Attorney
T. H. Caraway, who conducted the
prosecution. On Wednesday night
Governor Donaghey announced that
he would not interfere with the exc
cut on of the death sentence, and it
was believed that Morgan had lost his
last chance for life.
Prosecuting Attorney Caraway
called the governor last night on the
telephone, and told him that he was
not satisfied with the action taken in
the case. Mr.. Caraway said that, in
view Of the circumstances, he would
like to have Morgan's sentence COM
muted to life Imprisonment. The gov
ernor told him that he would take no
further acton unless both the circuit
judge and prosecuting attorney rec
commended that the sentence be COM
muter. Mr.. Caraway communicated
with Judge Smith, and late last night
the governor received the following
telegram signed by Judge Smith and
Prosecuting Attorney Caraway:
1--WE have gone over the Walter
Morgan case tonight, and while we
feel sure under the law he is guilty
of murder in the first degree, yet in
view of all the circumstances attend
ing the case, we feel that justice
would be done if his sentence were
committed, and therefore We ask that
you do it,
Upon receipt of this telegram Gov
ernor Donaghey decided to commute
Morgan's sentence. He telegraphed
the sheriff of Poinsett county that he
had taken such action, and also mott
fed Prosecuting Attorney Caraway
by telephone.
when both the judge and prose
cutting attorney asked me to commute
the sentence l was perfectly willing
to do it," said Governor Donaghey
II trust them absolutely, as they con-
stitute one of the strongest courts in
the state. Judge Smith and Prescott
ing Attorney Caraway never recon-
mend pardon or communication OF
sentence unless they believe that JUS
tice is being done. "-GaZette.
