The class of legislation that will
require the close attention of the leg
islators this session will be that per-
tanning to appropriations. The insti-
buttons of the state will ask for more
money than ever this year and as
usual the demands will no doubt
greatly exceed the of the
state. The agricultural college at
Fargo will probably ask, all told, over
$500, 900, and the state university at
Grand Forks will also seek to secure
almost an equal amount, if not more.

OMER DAVIS
 GETS SENTENCE MOTHERPATHETIC FIGURE YOUTH TO BE HANGED AUGUST II FOR KILLING HIS YOUNG
 SWEETHEART

Fayetteville, May 17.-Facing the judge with stolid indi ference, showing less concern than many of the specta- tors, Omer Davis yesterday heard the sentence of death upon him, which means that on August II he will be hanged.
 This is the penalty Davis will pay for killing his sweetheart, Nellie Mon eyhun, at her home near Springdale on the night of February ? last. Weeping hysterieally, his devoted mother presented pathetic figure as she sat by the side of her son and heard his doom pronounced. When the last word had fallen from the lips of Judge Naples, the aged woman sob- bingly threw her arms about her son, who. though pale, said nothing. He placed his arm about her waist to sup port her, and a dozen witnesses at tempted to console her, but without avail When the young man was talk en from the court room she sank de- spairingly into a chair weeping, her body shaking with heart aches, years older in appearance, mother who had heard her sons life declared for feited because he. in moment of jeal- ousy, had forgotten all the lessons she had taught him from boyhood.
 Young Davis had wooed, and he thought won, the heart of Nellie Mon- eyhun. He had sold his property and declared he was going to California and the trip was to be Nellie's and his honeymoon. Then he learned that the girl had declared her intention to wed another. He called at the Moneyhun home and asked the girl to accompany him to the front porch, where he shot her to death. The girls father heard the shot, rushed to the porch and grappled with young Davis, wrestling a revolver from his grasp. Davis fled, but was captured within a few days and placed on trial. A jury in the circuit court last Sunday morning de- clared Davis guilty. It is probable that no appeal will be taken, as the young man has no money with which to fight the case, and neighbors say that his father had refused to aid him.

LITTLE INTEREST IN
 SCHOOL ELECTION
FEW VOTES BEING CAST
FRIENDS OF COUNTY SUPER VISION AT WORK FOR THAT
 PROPOSITION.

With the exception of an effort by the friends of county supervision to carry the district of Conway in favor of that proposition, little interest is be- ing manifested in the annual school election, which is being held here to- day. There is no opposition to J. W. James and J. E. Little for directors, their names being placed on the ticket for election to succeed themselves, and no fight is being made against the sev- en-mill tax.
 Some work has been done during the day to interest the voters in the propo- sition of county superintendency. but the number of votes cast up to the time of going to press this afternoon was remarkably small.
 Secretary W. B. Hubbell had difficult ty in securing officials to serve in the three precincts in the district this morning, but they were finally organiz- ed as follows:
 First Ward-W. W. Bishop, John Hartley and o. L. Honea, judges; D. Stewart and R. A, Reynolds, clerks.
 Second Ward-C. o. Payne, George Hartje and J, H. Stubbs, judge; J. H Lincoln and H. Hanesworth, clerks.
 Third Ward-J. A. King, S. E. An derson and W. T. Piercey, judges; J A. Pence and Will Salter, clerks.

SANITARY CODE
 IS ADOPTED
BY STATE OF ARKANSAS
BEST FEATURES OF RULES EM- BRACED IN NEW LAW. A
 MODEL CODE.

r Little Rock, May IA model san itary code, recently drafted by the Ar kansas Board of Health under the guidance of Dr. R. H. von Ezdorf, surgeon of the United States Public Health Service, and with the assist ance of Dr. Oscar Bowling, president of the Louisiana state board of health, was adopted here yesterday at spe- 'cial meeting of the state board.
 Rules and regulations governing the gathering of vital statistics, as de- vised by the National Public Health Department, were also adopted. At a meeting of the state board today, county health officers and community registrars will be appointed.
 The new sanitary code for Arkan- sas embraces the best features of the codes of other states, with the oms- 'sion of irrelevant matters. Only those rules and regulations upon which de- pend directly the prevention and con trol of sanitary and hygienic condi- tions were adopted.
 Features with which the code deals specifically are: Duties of public health officers and records to be kept vital statistics and regulations gov erning the transportation of dead bod lies, communicable diseases, disinfec- tion, sanitation and screening against flies and mosquitoes, common drinking cups, common towels, splitting, dispos- al of human excreta, water pollution, potable waters, garbage and house re- fuse, disposal of dead animals, sani- tary requirements for schools, public buildings, jails, prisons, slaughter houses, markets, barber shops, baker

NEGROES ANXIOUS
 FOR EARLY TRIAL WOULD WAIVE NOTICE
POSSIBLE THAT SPECIAL COURT TERM MAY BE HELD NEXT
 WEEK.

Although a special term of the Faulkner circuit court earlier than June would be impossible if the de- fendants in the white slave cases should insist upon their legal rights, 1t was stated today that it may yet be possible for special session to be con- vened next week for this purpose.
 The six negroes who are confined in the jail are said to be anxious for 8 speedy trial, and Deputy Sheriff C. O.. Payne states that they all told him they would be willing to waive the statutory notice required for special term, and allow their trials to proceed without delay.
 Local attorneys are of the opinion that this would remove the obstacle as to notice of the special session, and, as Judge Eugene Lankford has no court set for next week, it is possible that he may come to Conway and hear the cases.
 So far the negroes have been unable to secure. counsel among the members of the local bar, several attorneys hav- ing declined to represent them. It will probably be necessary when the trials occur for the court to appoint counsel for them.
 No further arrests have been made in the case, and the excitement of the early part of the week has greatly di- unfinished.

CHICAGO TERMINAL PLAN
DIFFERS FROM OTHERS
Wallace Report Opposes Single
Grand Central Station-Councn
to Consider Tonight.


CHICAGO. October 20.-The report OF
John F. Wallace. engineering expert,
employed last spring by the city coun-
Gil to Investigate the question of rail-
way terminals has been completed and
will be submitted to council tonight
1t is said by members Of the council
committee on railway terminals that
the report differs radically from any
of the plans heretofore presented.
According to member of the COM
mittee, Wallace's report opposes a
single Grand Central station, indors-
ing rather the Pennsylvania Com
pany's passenger station plan for the
roads in the Pennsylvania group now
using the Union station on the west
side, to be located east Of State street
for the roads now using the Grand
Central, La Sale and Polk street sta
tiops.
S 1t Is said the report favors the build
ing of the south side station in con-
junction with the proposed new Illinois
Central terminal on the lake front.
