SENTENCED TO TERM
 OF FIFTY YEARS

Prosecuting Attorney G. R. Haynie returned Saturday from TeXarkana where he has been in attendence upon the Miller Cir. cult Court for two weeks. Thirteen persons were senten. ced to the penitentiary from that County during this term of the Court, seven of which were white men, four negro men and boys and one negro woman. One of the white men, who gave his name as Clark, was sentenced on five separate counts, for for. gerry and for uttering and pub fishing forged checks. When the Judge went to sentence him, he inquired of the Jailer what kind of prisoner he had been, and on being informed he had given considerable trouble in con. spring to break jail, the judge fixed his punishment in the pen itentiary at a period of five years on each count, making in all twenty-five years.
 After thinking the matter over for minute, the prisoner rose to his feet and remarked, Judge you might as well make it one hundred and twenty five years, because 1 don't expect 10 stay there until lny time is out any way"
 The Judge replied that he
 would do the best for him he could, and after examining the law he found the maximum pun. ishment to be ten years; so he promptly gave hlm ten years on each count, aggregating fifty years.
 Clark is now apparently twen- ty-fve years old, so if he serves his term out, be will be seventy five years of age when he gets to be free man again.

DENIES NEWSPAPER STATEMENT

Little Rock, June 16-The ru. nor that Joe T. Robinson was to return to Arkansas this week and make speeches for Judge Geo. W. Hays, when sent to state papers from this city, caused a general indignation meeting in political circles of Little Rock. The managers of the Hays cam : palgn immediately denounced the report as untrue, and Senator KoonsOn sent telegrams from Washington, denying that it had ever been his intention of mixing Tn the present gubernatorial nght. The managers of the brundidge campaign also resent ca the publication, stating that it was likewise unfair to them.
 Both candidates spent Sunday in Little Rock, meeting many prominent men from various sec. 'lons Of the state, and lining up lhe closing week of the campaign. both sides clam victory, each campaign headquarters placing 'ne majority of their caddidate at not less than 10000.

 The present postoffice building was the administration building under Spanish rule and the resi- dence of the governor. This is without doubt the oldest postof- flee building Uncle Sam has.
 In the very heart of the city is the Plaza, beautiful bit of green sward, where tourists and citi- sens alike gather to read and sew and chat and enjoy the bree- zes from off the bay. The Plaza is one of the characteristics of Spanish towns.
 To the south of the jetties may be seen pile of rock, all that re- mains of the old lighthouse, which was built by the Spanish before the British occupancy. This light was one Of the first in the New World and was built 20 feet high. The present light erected by the United States governme ent, classed as first or der light, is 165 feet high. It is opened to visitors daily and the view from the tower is unequall. ed by few in the United States.
 Near the lighthouse is the government wireless station which is also an interesting place to visit.

DECLINED TO ISSUE
 MANDAMUS WRIT

Little Rock, June 16 Though Federal questions are involved in the Senate bill which will make Arkansas dry if upheld by the
 courts, the liquor men claim it will not be necessary for them to
 resort to the United States court, in spite of the decision of Judge Guy Fulk, rendered Saturday. Judge Fulk declined to issue a writ of mandamus forcing Sec. retary of State Earle w. Hodges to submit the bill to the voters of the State under the Initiative and Referendum, as asked for by li- quor leaders.
 Those who are fighting the bill, and endeavoring to have it left to the people, declare that if the Supreme Court sustains the de cision of Judge Guy Fulk, of the Second Division Circuit Court, of Pulaski county, it will destroy the purposes of the Initiative and Referendum amendment. They claim that if the legislature can set a specific date for a bill to become effective, and thus rob the people of the right of refer endum on the bill, they have made the constitutional amend ment a thing of no value. The Supreme Court has already sus- tained the legality os the Initia- tive and Referendum. so the le- gal question involved is pretty one.

HENWOOD DEFENSE HARD HIT
Old Missouri Case Cited in Denver Murder Trial Paves Way for
 Damaging Testimony.

Denver, June 16.-The admission of the testimony of Frederick von Phul. in long-forgotten Missouri murder case, operated to damage the defense of Harold F. Henwood, slayer of Syl- vester l.. von Phul, son of the witness In the Missouri case, on trial for the killing of George E. Copeland at the time Henwood shot young Won Phui
 The admission of the testimony in the old Missouri case secured the ad- mission of like testimony in this case. Paul Whiteman had testified to a con versation he had with Won Phul, i'm mediately after the shooting, when young Von Phul was dying. The de fense objected to the testimony as to the conversation being admitted, and the court sustained the objection,
 A hunt for a precedent began and continued fruitlessly until the case of the people of the state of Missouri against Kaiser, 20 years ago, was found There it was found that the supreme court of the state had ruled that Frederick von Phul, father of one of Henwood's victims, was permitted to testify as to a conversation with the victim of a shooting affraiy i'm mediately after the shooting.
 Testimony that Won Phul did not have weapon the night Harold F. HenwoOd killed him was introduced.
 Whiteman, musician, testified he hunted through Won Phul's pockets to find handkerchiefs with whicn to stanch the flow of blood and found no weapon in Von Phuls clothes.
