ELECTRIC POWER WAR
THREATENS IDAHO

Ogden, March ia small sized
electric power war has developed in
tho east and center portions of Ban
mock county, with two rival concerns
in the field. From present indications
the MISUNDERSTANDING syndicate of
Salt Lake and Pocatello will have
keen competition in the towns of
Downey, Bancroft and McCammon.
The Utah Power & Light company,
which recently took over the gigan-
tic holdings Of the Telluride company
in Utah and Idaho, has entered the
Bannock county field and has applied
for franchises at Bancroft, Mccain
mon and Downey. Electric current for
lighting and heating will be transmit
ted from the companys mammoth
power plant on the Bear river near
Grace, where $4,000 horse power Is
being generated most of it for trans
mission to Ogden, Salt Lake and in
tervening towns. The company is
now working on the construction of
q second giantic power plant unit at
The Narrows in the northern part OF
Franklin county. Whether the Utah
Power & Light company Will enter
the Pocatello field is conjectural.
According to Messrs. Cummings
and Bailey, two representatives Of the
company who appeared last week be-
fore the village board Of Bancroft,
Dcwney and McCammon and asked
for franchises; a branch transmission
line from their main trunk line at
Grace will be run parallel with the
Short Line from Alexander 10 Ban.
croft, with a transformer at Way,
and thence on to McCammon, from
which point a branch will be extend
ed to Downey. The company Is pre-
pared, according to their representa-
tives, to Immediately begin work of
stretching wire and installing local
distribution systems.
l.. r. Martineau of Salt Lake and
j. ID. Browning of Pocatello are still
working on their proposition of in
stalling a hydro-electric power plant
at Lava hot springs On the Portneuf.
So miles east OF Pocatello, where they
claim to be able to generate 5000
horse power the year round. They
were recently granted a street rail-
way franchise and an electric light
ing franchise in Downey and Mccain
mon. In neither of the towns named
are the franchises exclusive, 80 that
in granting competing franchises to
the Utah Power & Light company,
the towns leave the matter up to the
competitors to determine which vii.
first get their wires strung. -Poca.

POLITICAL PLUMS

Washington, March 1.-THE pres
ence Of National Chairman william
+. McCombs in the capital, his many
conferences with Democratic leaders
and cabinet members, his engage
ment to meet President Wilson early
tomorrow, stirred up unusual inter-
est tonight in presidential appoint
ments.
Richard Olney, who has been Of
fered the Enthusiastically to Great
Britain, tried to get in communication
by telephone with Mr.. McCombs
early in the evening. At the White
House, it was said that Mr.. Olney

Loeb Wants To Quit
The selection of a collector of Gus
toms for the port of New York was
brought to public attention by the
presence here Of William Loeb Jr.,
the incumbent, who is anxious to
leave his post as soon as possible.
Though John Purroy Mitchell of New
York was regarded early today as the
most likely selection instead OF Dud-
ley Field Malone, son-in.law OF Sena-
tor O'Gorman, and warm friend Of
the president, surprise was sprung
when the White House received a
telegram from Mr.. Mitchell strongly
urging the appointment Of Mr.. Ma
lone. It had been stated at the White
House that IL Mr.. Malone was not
selected for the collectorship, 1t
would be for some other post OF
equal importance.
The following nominations were
expected to be sent to the senate be-

morning Of March Z. The confession
a detailed one, giving all his moves
previous to the entrance to the store
and just after the shooting. was
made to Chief of Police Norton and
Detectives Robert Chambers and Rob
ert Burk. The negros statement
bears out almost perfectly all the un-
substantiated theories that have been
held by the police concerning how the
affair took place.
While the police nave maintained
the examination during all three
shifts, the prisoner was given his
regular meals, slept more than did
the officers and there was no rough
Treatment. The only promise made
in the effort to secure the precious
confession was that Bryant would he

was a strong working point, as the
prisoner seemed to greatly fear a
mob would deal out justice to him
Proved Stubborn
Until late Monday afternoon the
negro maintained silence, refusing to
answer on claiming to misunderstood
questions The police succeeded in
breaking the ice for the first time
Monday afternoon. Early yesterday
morning Bryant called for the chief,
and Norton went to the cell feeling
sure that Bryant had decided to con
fess. However, the prisoner, what.
ever had been his motive in asking
to see the chief, asked only that he
be permitted to talk to the woman
with whom he was staying when cap
tured. This request was refused
Thinking that their prisoner was
weakening, the chief and two detec.
tives started the questions again yes
terday afternoon. After several hours
hard work in which they merely urg
ed Bryant to tell the truth about the
matter, the negro admitted the whole
affair.
According to the story Of Bryant
he left the Assembly saloon shortly

was in the lock, he made his escape
by scaling the fence in the rear. He
accounts for the report that he fell

AS he fed he stopped and reloaded
his gun. He ran to 23rd street and

annual CONVENTION OF
STATE farmers union
PRESIDENT MOBLEY, IN A TWO
HOURS SPEECH, ANALYZES
PLATFORM.

McNeill, Ark, Aug. Cone hun
dred and fifty delegates to the ninth
annual convention of the State Farm
ers' Union were in attendance when
President Mobley called the meeting
to order in Agricultural hall yester-
day morning. The report of the aud
iting committee who has for the past
few days been auditing the books of
the secretary, reported the books in
fine shape. After the appointment of
the regular routine committees, the
meeting adjourned to nearby grove
where the citizens Of Columbia county
were giving a grand picnic in honor Of
the visitors. Every business house in
Magnolia was closed and the whole
population in attendance. After the
welcome addresses were delivered by
Hon. A. S. Kilgore and Mayor Smith,
President Mobley delivered two-hour
speech in which he made a thorough
analysis of the platform of the Farm
ers Union. He was emphatic in his
denunciation of any movement that
would tend to hold cotton from the
market for an unreasonable length of
time. He stated that the success of
the individual in marketing his crop
was in informing himself of what he
had to sell. His word pictures of bad
management in marketing crops
brought forth continued applause. A
telegram received from National Pres
ident Barrett stated that he could not
be in attendance.
National Secretary Davis arrived
late in the afternoon and addressed
the convention today. There is quite
a bit of uncertainty as to the officials
that will be selected to guide the un-
ion next year. President Mobley has
expressed desire to be relieved, as he
is desirous of returning to his farm
in Washington county, but his friends
who seem to be in the majority insist
that he stand for reelection. John
Blackford of Craighead county has
announced his candidacy for the pres

POULTRY ASSOCIATION
PLANS Big EXHIBITION
BIRDS FROM ALL OVER STATE
WILL BE ENTERED AT AN
NUAL POULTRY SHOW.

Spurs will click and feathers will
fly in Conway during the week Of Oc-
tober Z to II, inclusive. The crescen-
do cockadoodle of the Langshan will
echo the crow Of the naughty White
Brahma. Birds from far and wide
will be brought to Conway and put
on exhibition, the Faulkner county
poultry show having become known as
one of the best and largest poultry
shows which are held in the south.
Officials of the association are expect
ing 1000 birds to be entered this year,
and from letters they are receiving
daily, their mark will NOT be far from
right.
The Faulkner County Poultry Asso-
citation met last night and outlined
plans for the exhibition, but no formal
steps were taken in the matter. The
association discussed the matter of
building large shed, under which the
birds will be displayed, but no plans
were agreed upon.

rangements for a place of worship
during the construction of the new
church, and it is thought that the
high school building will be secured.
AS soon as the plans have been ap-
proved and the preliminary arrange
ments completed, the old church will
be razed and actual construction will
be begun.
On another page Of today's issue of
the Log Cabin Democrat appears a
cut of the proposed church building,
which will give an adequate idea of
the appearance Of the church when
completed.
Architect George w. Kramer Of New
York City, who drew the plans, is the
foremost church architect in Ameri-
ca. He is the official architect for the
National Sunday School Board and
has designed more than 5000 Of the
most important churches in the Unit
ed States. He stated to the board
that Conway's plans call for the most
complete church building he has ever
turned out of his Office.
Secretary Rahner states the matter
of securing additional subscriptions
for building the church will begin at
once, and those who subscribed to the
fund for building the Sunday school
addition to the old church will be ex-
pected to double their subscription, if
possible. One subscriber, Secretary
Bahner states, added 1900 to his
former subscription last night. 1t is
thought the necessary $4,000 can be
raised with but little difficulty.

From Saturdays Dary.
The alumni of Hendrix College held
a meeting in the Marion Hotel at Lit
tie Rock and laid plans to get solidly
back of the building program of the
board of trustees. 1t will be remem-
bered that the board, at recent meet
ing, decided to enter upon a campaign
in the near future for funds with
which to erect buildings on the cam
pus, costing in the neighborhood Of
$15O,00O, and that the presidents res
idence would be erected at once. The
alumni had an enthusiastic meeting,
endorsing the action of the board Of
trustees and pledging their earnest
endeavors to assist in carrying out
the program. Moreover, they asked
the board that they, themselves, be
privileged to erect the presidents
house, and appointed committee to
take charge. They have received as
surances that this request will be
granted. The committee appointed by
the chairman, J. G. Fraser of Little
Rock, consists of G. L. Banner and
Rev. E. r. Steel of Conway, and T. E.
Helm of Little Rock.
c. L. Thompson of Little Rock is
now preparing the plans and specifi-
cation for building which will cost
about $4,000, and the alumni propose
to see that such building is con-
structed as will reflect credit upon
the institution.
Among those who attended the
meeting were: J. G. Fraser, presi-
dent of the Alumni Association, Rev.
Forney Hutchinson, T. E. Helm, M. E.
Dunaway and C. L. O'Daniel of Little
Rock; w. B. Hubbell, business man.
ager Of Hendrix, and j. H. Reynolds,
president Of the college, Of Conway;
w. T. Martin of Harrison, Rev. j. J.
Galloway Of Ozark, and Rev. E. X.
Sewell of Batesville.
The alumni are enthusiastic over
the outlook for the college. The Hen
dirk spirit is strong throughout the
state. The attendance promises to be
the largest in the history of the insti-
tuition.

MUCH ENTHUSIASM
AT ROAD MEETING
FARMERS in ATTENDANCE
SPEECHES WERE MADE BY
BOTH FARMERS AND BUSI-
NESS MEN.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Business men, professional men,
farmers and divines were present last
night at the good roads rally which
was held at the courthouse, and from
the enthusiasm shown, it is evident
that the roads in Faulkner county are
soon to undergo substantial improve
ments. Judge Holt was in charge of
the meeting and was the first speak
er of the evening. He discussed the
present condition of the roads in this
county, and compared them with the
roads of other counties. From his
comparison, which is doubtless a cor
rect one, Faulkner's roads are in a
bad condition. He expressed himself
as being very desirous of immediate
improvements, and stated further
that improvements are absolutely nec-
essary.
County Road Commissioner w. r.
McHenry spoke for few minutes,
discussing the proposed plans for inn
provements, and urged cooperation
of the business men and the farmers.
He stated that the road question, in
stead Of being placed in the hands of
a number of road overseers, should be
left with only a few men who are
experienced road builders. "If the
county were divided into two or three
road Districts" said Commissioner
McHenry, "much better work would
result. AS it is, the road overseer is
poorly paid, working only few
months out of the year, and is there
fore inexperienced. With but two or
three overseers in the county, work
would be continuous and better re-
suits would occur
A number of other speeches were
made, following which a subscription
was. taken up for the purpose of
working the roads. Steps were also
taken to set aside day on which ev-
cry man, woman and child in Faulk-
ner county will be asked to work the
road 1t is thought the date to be set
will be next Monday. Final an
nouncement will appear in this paper
at an early date.

Mr.. Wilkerson was elected to the
