j. OF A. TRUSTEES
TO MEET APRIL 28
new HEAD TO BE NAMED
JNO. H. REYNOLDS, FORMERLY
OF CONWAY, MAY BE OF
FERED POSITION.

Little Rock, April There will be
a special meeting of the board of trus-
tees of the University of Arkansas in
Little Rock, April 28, at which time
there will be elected president for
the university, as well as dean for
the agricultural department, to sue
ceed DR.. C. F. Adams.
1t is not settled that successor
will be elected for Dr. J. H. Reynolds,
who has been acting president for the
past year, and he may get the posi-
ton permanently, as members of the
board consider the record made by
him very satisfactory one. They con-
slider it remarkable, especially so be-
cause DR.. Reynolds has been only act
ing as president without power to an
ticipate the needs of the university in
future years and prepare to meet
them, as one holding the position per-
manently could do.
There was committee appointed,
consisting of Geo. B. Cook, J. D.
Head, w. H. Askew and H. B. Pom
der, to look into the matter of elect
ing a new president, and also the
teachers of the institution, to report
at the meeting to be held in Little
Rock. This committee was urged to
have a personal talk with all men un-
der consideration for the presidency
Among those mentioned have been a
DR.. Kayser of New York, who is said
to be one of the most noted educators
in that state; and the former heads of
Nebraka and Maine Universities, and
DR.. Kirkland, former chancellor of
Vanderbilt University. The commit
tee has several other prominent edu-
Gators under consideration. 1t is their
intention to elect man who will
bring students to the university.
Members of the board, returning
from the meeting held in Fayetteville
last week, over which George B. Cook
presided as chairman, state there will
be many new professors and instruc-
tors in the university next year, it be-
ing thought best to have new blood in
the institution. In order that the
present faculty members who are not
reelected shall have time to secure
other positions before next term of
school, the election of teachers will
take place on April %.

HORIZON Being
CLEARED UP some
In ARKANSAS POLITICS
S. BRUNDIDGE ONLY CANDI-
DATE FOR GOVERNOR DEFI-
NITELY ANNOUNCED.

Little Rock, April 2.-The uncer-
tainty that has prevailed in Arkansas
politics since the death of Senator
Jeff Davis last January, is beginning
to be cleared up. Preliminaries are
being arranged to provide for the
fifth man who shall bear the title Of
governor of Arkansas in 1913-a
lucky year for governors, numeric-
ally, at least.
The supreme court having decided
the governorship controversy just as
most people thought it would be de-
cided, the successful claimant was left
free to act as the people had been de-
,manding. Governor Futrell called a
special election for July 23, and
Chairman A. j. Walls of the state
central committee has called meet
ing of the body for 10 a. m. Tuesday,
April 8, for the purpose of calling the
primary election for the selection of
candidate for governor.
| There are rumors that the Bull
Moose, or Progressive party, which is
attempting to gain a foot-hold in the
state as the minority party, may NOM
mate candidate for governor to test
their strength. The rumor has it that
IJ. A. Conner of Little Rock will be
nominated. He is one of the original
and most enthusiastic Progressives Of
! the state. and chairman of the state
committee.
The only Democratic aspirant def
nitely and positively announced is
Hon. S. Brundidge of Searcy, who
has been twice SO narrowly defeated
for the U. S. senatorship-once by
JEFF Davis for the nomination, and
once by Joe T. Robinson before the
Legislature.
Mr.. Brundidge says that he enters
the race at great personal sacrifice,
as he will be forced to neglect his law
practice, which is yielding him a
handsome return.
AS a matter of fact, there are not
nearly so many candidates running
for governor today as there We're two
months ago. Many of them wore
themselves out with early publicity
which, doubtless, is all that some ever
fexpected to get out of it. 1t seems
quite certain at this time that Judge
G. w. Hays of Camden is one of the
early ones who will stick
and it is predicted that he will have
a strong following, especially in south
Arkansas. DR.. c. H. Brough of the
University of Arkansas is also believ-
ed to be still in the race, although
there has been no statement from him
recently. Secretary of State Earle
w. Hodges, more conscientious than
some other politicians of the state,
has announced that he will not be a
candidate for governor at this time.
He admits that he has the laudable
ambition to be governor, but says
that he has just entered upon a con-
tract with the people to serve them
for another two years as secretary of
state, and he considers that obliga-
tion paramount to personal ambition.
Associate Justice W. F. Kirby con-
tinues to be an unknown factor in the
situation, although it is known that
he is very seriously considering the
advisability of entering the race.
Should he do so, he will be a strong
man.

MANY PRISONERS
SENT TO LEVEfS
in VIOLATION OF LAW
MOOSE BELIEVES
PEOPLE WILL COMMEND
COMMISSIONERS.

Little Rock, March 28.-In open
violation of the law, backed by the
acting governor and attorney general,
the Arkansas Board of Penitentiary
Commissioners will send 200, or as
many convicts as can be spared from
the state farm, to the aid of the St.
Francis levee board in saving the
levees on the Mississippi river. The
convicts will be ready to leave the
farm today, and will go to Warner,
thence to McGehee or Pine Bluff, to
be taken to the point designated by
President o. H. killough of the levee
board.
President Killough sent urgent
messages to Acting Governor Futrell
and members of the penitentiary COM
mission Thursday afternoon, asking
for convicts to help protect the weak
places in the levees. AS the law re-
quires all convicts to be worked on
the state farm, and prohibits leasing
of convicts in any way, the commits
sioners appealed to Attorney General
w. l.. Moose for advice. He inform
ed the commissioners the law is very
plain, but as this is an emergency, he
thought the people of the state would
commend, instead of condemn, the ac-
ton of the commission if the convicts
were made use of in fighting the ris-
ing waters.
Acting Governor Futrell, when ap-
pealed to, also said the law was plain,
but the only power the governor had
in dealing with the penitentiary com
mission was to appoint its members,
and in case they did not do their duty
to remove them for cause. He would
not consider the violation of the law,
such as taking the prisoners to the
levees to protect property of the state,
but one for approval.
J. A. Turner of Jonesboro, a form
er member of the levee board, called
on Acting Governor Futrell in the
afternoon, and with the aid of map,
showed him all the weak places in the
levee, and urged assistance. After
the conference Acting Governor Fu-
trell sent a message to the war de-
partment, requesting permission to
use tents now in possession of the
Arkansas National Guard, to give
shelter to flood sufferers in the east
ern part of the state.
While he was settling this question,
Attorney General Moose also inform
ed the penitentiary commission that
while the law required the working Of
Iall convicts on the state farm, the act
did not contemplate that the prOtec-
ton state property was to be with
drawn, and he did not consider it ille-
gal for the commission to work a
number Of the convicts at the state
heating and lighting plant, and others
to do janitor service at the state cap
3tol.

At $3.50 this evening the sBemidji
High school basket ball team will

the boys clash with the Fosston

they are all light, they are said to be
fast and good basket shooters.
The .Fosston team has played sew
eral games this season and has de-
feated some Of the smaller high
school teams by large scores. They
are out for the championship of
Northern Minnesota and as the local
team has the same, aim, the game this
evening will mean much to the win
ner. Last year, after a hard game,
the Bemidji team met it's first defeat
at the hands of the Fosston players.
The Bemidji boys have practiced
hard this year and have been follow
ing instructions closely as there were
enough candidates out this year to
assur a good team and only by faith
full and hard work can a man make
the team. The second team is almost
as strong as the first team and some
hard fought. games have been played
between the two. & s.

third year at basketball. Tonight he
will play right forward. Lloyd Tan
ner is the youngest. and lightest man

Ray Johnson will play center tonight
and will take care of his part in the
game without any assistance from
his teammates. Johnson is a short

MAN TRUST AFTER LANDS ? E0SST0N GAME TONIGHT
Dunn Says Steel Corporation and
Iron Range Road are Grabbing
Mineral Rights. "
GET THEM WITH SWAMP LANDS
~ United Press.

~ United Press. y.
St. Raul, Jan. 18.-Declaring that
the steel trust and the Duluth &
iron Range Railroads.&c.. were get
ting ready to %%steal millions of dol
lars from the state by getting min
eral leases under the guise of swamp
lands" Rep. H.. H. Dunn, Albert Lea,
in the house Friday, prayed that inn
mediate action be taken on a bill in
troduced by him to prevent this.
The former speaker of the house
had introduced his bill last week to
amend the land grant act, so that
all minerals on lands to be conveyed
in the future as swamp lands, shall
remain the property of the state for
the school fund. The bill had been
sent to the committee or mines and
minerals and Representative Dunn
called for it to be placed on general
orders. In explaining his reasons for
hasty action Mr.. Dunn said: >v~44r.
= 9"The Duluth & Iron Range Rail-
road and the Steel trust have stolen
millions Of dollars from the state al
ready and they are getting ready now
to steal another township. The bill
provides that in the future patents
will be granted for swamp lands only
and not the mineral on the lands.
81 suspect that the corporations are
getting ready to make applications
for patents on about 5000 acres of
such lands in St. Louis, -Cass and
Cook counties, and my purpose in
asking that the bill be advanced is to
prevent the railroad from commit
ting another larceny of several mil
lion dollars. The corporations have
too much of the states money all
ready" The bill was placed on gen
eral orders and will be pushed
through the house.
