REPLY TO Mr.. 1HEITON.

| feel it my duty to say a few
words in behalf of the teachers Of
our school in regard to cutting the
oak. They were asked, by
is school committee, to cut the
lee, and i 1h2y h id not done O We
would have cut it ourselves. We
considered the tree to be DANGEROUS
ol the school ground, as It had sew
eTal dead limbs on it and then it
ought to have been removed to dive
place to the young grove OF oaks
around it. AS a third reason we
neeied it for wood. We didn't think
to ask Mr. Shelton's consent about
cutting the tree as he has never
showed any disposition to give us
any assistance on either the school
ollldsn5 or grounds. He speaks Of
the tree being SO beautiful and not
a1ie. Our community does not
ieel any loss at ali by its removal.
nave talked to several men about
it and they were all of the same
opinion. They say that Jess Shell
ton has ever done anything for
the community and if he wanted to
do something he ought to have lust
paid US our box supper money and
lot said ANYTHING about the males

| am very sorry that Mr.. Shelton

since we have had such a GOOD
school this year. It seems that

MAY ASK REPEAL OF
'CANAL FREE TOLLS
President Planning to Make Request
of Congress and. 1t Will Stir Up
Row in Both Houses.

Washington, Oct. Alt was learn
ed today that the president contemp-
lates recommending to congress at
the regular session, the repeal OF the
free tolls provision of the canal act
1t has been made clear to the presl-
dent however, that if he sends in the
recommendation it will stir up large
sized row in both houses. The White
House has let it be known that the
president has not made up his mind
positively about the repeal, but never
theless, it is understood that such is
his design.
The sentiment for free tolls in both
houses is strong. Some of the most
influential Democrats in both House
and Senate are for free tolls and i
there is any effort at repeal, there will
be strong opposition.

A stubbornly fought damage suit

Grace in the jefferson circuit court,
in which James Washington, negro.
is suing the Iron Mountain railroad
company and Hahn and Carter, con-
tractors, for $4,000 for his next best
friend, Charles Washington, years
old. The suit began yesterday and
when adjournment came for the day
the plaintiffs attorneys had about
completed their part of the evidence.
A number of local physicians testi-
fled as expert witnesses and many
interesting legal features were argu-
ed by the several attorneys involved
in the trial
The petition alleges that young
Washington was struck ON the head
with piece of iron rod, While blast
ing was being done for a canal under
the Iron Mountain tracks near Tamo.
this county, on March 80, 1913. The
boy was some distance away when
the iron struck him Oh the head and
his attorneys claim that he has been
permanently injured.
The railroad company and Hahn
and Carter, canal contractors are
made joint defendants in the suit In
his opening statement yesterday to
the Jury Attorney A. H. Rowell, who
represented the canal contracting
firm, declared that Hahn and Carter
were not doing the blasting under
the railroad track, but that 1t was
left for the railroad company to do
the work. The railroad Company

BLOOD RITUAL Trial
EXCITES ALL RUSSIA
4 GROWING SENTIMENT FOR THE
ACQIITTAL OF BELLS is
STEADY.
S0-CaIled "IIoly Russia" Again Perse-
cuteS and Murders Jewish
Citizens.

st. Petersburg, Russia. Oct. 14--The
whole of Russia is seetIng with ex-
citement over the "blood ritual. trial
now being enacted at Kievc, where
the trial Of Mendel Bells for the mur-
der of the boy Yushinsky, is taking
place.
A movement in favor of the acquit.
tai of the accused man is growing
steadily and reports of demonstrations
against the trial are being received
from all parts of the empire. On the
other hand, there have been sporadic
antiJewish outbreaks, probably in
stigated by the Black Hundred A
serious outbreak came at Nicolaioff
in South Russia, where mob attack
ed the Ghetto, pillaging the Jewish
shops and maltreating several of the
race. The riot, which was soon sup
pressed by the police, was obviously
fomented by reactionaries, who are
endeavoring to inflame the masses
against the accused Jewish parasites
who are destroying the body polite
of Holy Russia"
The semetic inhabitants of South
Russia fear that if Bells is condemn
ed, there will be the gravest conse-
quences. The popular feeling against
the race is more bitter now than at
any time for the past thirty years.
The miserable showing of the case
for the prosecution so far depends the
conviction that the trial will soon col
lapse. The evidence is admittedly
only patch work, based on the gossip
of thieves and drunkards and support
ed by the biggotry of the anti-seme-
tic fanatics.
According to the best opinion in
Russia, the imperial authorities should
not allow the affair to proceed furth.

Admitted That Pine Bluff
and Little Rock Will Go
Dry Under New Law.
OTHERS MAY BE WET
Little Rock Loses H100.000 Annually
If Prohibition ComeS.-No
Legal Move Yet.

Little Rock. Oct 14.-While their
attorneys delve into the law to find
some flaws in Senate Bill No. lis, the
liquor men are all at sea as to the
next step that will be taken in the
matter They are not done fighting.
and as long as there is a point to con-
tend for, they will remain in the state
courts. The federal court will be a
last stand.
There are some cities in the state in
which the saloon men think they can
still operate under the bill. They also
believe that the wet towns i'll East
Arkansas will remain wet under S. 3.
11S. Hot Springs. Fort Smith and
Helena are the three cities they be-
leve can be petitioned wet. Little
Rock and Pine Bluff are admittedly
dry under the bill.
No effort will be made by the IL
quor men to circulate a petition in
den too great on them. They will as
sist in the work Of the city admins
tration and the business men are be-
hind the movement. The liquor men
feel that people would sign the petit
ton at the solicitation of the merch-
ants, when they would refuse for the
men who operate the saloons. The
present city administration has been
none too friendly to the liquor inter-
ests, but the loss of over 100000
revenue to the city annually, with no
substitute may make difference in
policy If all efforts to have S. B. lis
declared unconstitutional fail, then eff
forts will be made to start the petition
around before the end Of the year, so
that it may be passed upon in Jan
uary.
