CAN COUNTY JUDGE APPOINT CONSTABLE Appointment of Evan Par
 nell Raises Question of
 Philpot's Authority. LAW IN THE CASE
section 66I of Old Digest of State Laws Says Special Election
 Must Be Called.

Will Evan Parnell appointed by County Judge c. M Philpot to succeed J. Frank Stewart who resigned as constable Monday, continue in that of ice until the next general election or gill the county judge call special 4lecton in Vaugine township?
 This question was the subject of luch discussion in court house and lther circles yesterday.
 According to the law in the case, as interpreted by some, the county judge has no authority to appoint anybody to fill the vacancy, unless a general election is to be held within six months.
 Here is what section 661 of Sandel and Hills digest of the statutes ot Arkansas has to say on the subject:
 Section 661.-Whenever a vacancy shall occur in the office of the con- stable from any cause or in case of a failure to elect or if the person elected to such office shall fail to qualify in the manner and time re- quired by law, the county court of the county in which such vacancy exists lo fill such vacancy, specifying ln such order the time of holding such election. The sheriff shall give ten days notice of such election by post ng four notices in the most public places in the township: Provided, in ease of vacancy occurring within six months of general election, the county judge shall fill such vacancy oy appointment"
 This law was amended in 1905 by he legislature but subsequent devel- opments proved that the amendment did not hold good and authority in the case again devolves upon the la" quoted above. The amendment gave the county judge the right to appoint. Fourteen months of the term remains.
 Judge Philpot's reasons for the ap- pointment are economic. He says It would be an expense on the people, hat the office is being properly fill ed and that the public is tired ol elections.
 Those in opposition to his course say the law should be carried out to the letter which means that the Spe- cial election should be held.
 Deputy Sheriff Clint c. Green, who opposed Constable Stewart at the last election and who admits that he will be a candidate at the next election, said yesterday that he would certain iy make the race if the special elec- ton is called He would use no in fluence, however, he said, to have the election called.
 E. Verrett, another avowed candl' date for constable at the next elec- ton, made practically the same eX- pression.
 Judge Philpot said he would let the matter rest at present but if public sentiment demanded a special election 10 fill the office he would so order it.

Physicians Say Negro Has Weak Mind But Will Not
 Swear He is Insane.
DR. WILLIAMS REPORT
Says elf.COnfessed Murderer Adds Simon Bloom to His List of Killings
 Frightened Into Confession.

How to dispose of Eugene Manning, the negro who confessed to killing three men for the purpose of robbery. and who was Monday examined as to his sanity, is question that is worry ing County Judge c. M. Philpot, who ordered the examination at the in stance of Judge A. B. Grace, of the Jefferson circuit court, after the grand jury refused to return an indictment and recommended that an inyestiga tion be made as to the negro's sanity. tDr. H. E. Williams, Sr., who was ap- pointed by County Judge Philpot to make the examination, with Dr. Asa Brunson, the county physician, made a written report of his investigation yesterday and the report was filed Ac- cording to the report Dr. Williams says the negro is of low intellect, and made many conflicting and ridiculous state ments, one of which was to the effect that he killed Simon Bloom, the may or-elect. The doctor said he consid cred Manning harmless.
 Dr. Brunson made no report to the county judge other than returning to him the interrogatory papers contain ing the question asked Manning which were propounded to the negro by him. self and Dr. Williams. Neither of the physicians would sign an affidavit that the negro was insane. And with out this affidavit Manning cannot be sent to the State Hospital for Nervous Diseases at Little Rock.
 Several other physicians who also examined the negro were of the opin- ion that he was not crazy though prac- tically all agreed that Manning's mind was undeveloped and might be com pared with that of a small child.
 Mannig's fate now hangs in the bal. ance. He cannot be sent to the insane asylum unless the county physician o, a physician appointed by the county judge, through the regular procedure in such cases, makes an affidavit that he is of unsound mind, and he cannot be placed on trial ill circuit court this term as the grand jury did not indict him.
 In the written report presented by Dr. Williams the physician says Man ming said he was frightened into mak ing the confessions of murder. This in view of the fact that the nesro's in tellect is undeyeloped the child like, is the opinion of several who have heard the reports of the several physicians.
 Judge Philpot said yesterday that he could no nothing with Manning unless the physicians declare him insane which they refuse to do.
 The matter may be allowed to rest until the grand jury reconvenes. Dur ing that time Manning will be con fined in the county Jail and it is pos made later.
 Dr. Williams report to Judge Phil pot follows:
 "C. M. Philpot, Judge,
 Jefferson county,
 Dear Sir
 As per your order I visited the county jail yesterday and examined one Eugene Manning, as to his menta condition. From my examination
 would say he is man of practicall no mind. and could be termed an i'm beetle.

rangements were then immediately made for the transfer of the pupils.
 The members of the fourth grade number about 75 pupils. As the capa- city of the Sixth Avenue School is placed at 400 while the average at tendance will reach 300, the transfer of the class will greatly relieve the situation.
