Little Rock, May 16.-There
is no law or regulation so hard
and fast that it cannot under
certain conditions be set aside.
This is true Of the rule which
has been established by Gov. Flu
trell that he will grant no par
dons. Thursday afternoon he
granted the second pardon since
he has been in Office, the recipi-
ent of his clemency being George
B. Adams of Hampton, Calhoun
county, who is IS years old and
in very feeble health. He was
convicted in Justice Court of
selling whiskey July 10, 1910.
Owing to his age and the loss of
his wife and son about that time
by death, he was allowed by the
court to give a note for the fines
and permitted to leavejail on his
bond. For nearly two years he
has not violated the law, and has
given every evidence Of reform.
His pardon was recommended
by the Justice of Peace, the cir
cult Judge, and the prosecuting
attorney of the district, and by
the county officials of Calhoun
county. There were also two pc
titions presented asking for the
same, one petition by men OF
Hampton, and the other by the
ladies of the town. 1t appears
that practically every person Oh
prominence there has urgently
requested the pardon and after
due investigation no ob]ectlol
! whatever could be found to TIT

NO HANGINGS
AFTER JUNE IS
Unless Crimes We're Committed
Prior to That Date. New Law
Affects Newspapers.
Special to Independent.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, May 1.-THE act
substituting electrOcuti0n for
hanging in the execution of
criminals convicted of capital Of
lenses becomes effective June
ID. It is provided that all such
crimes committed before that
time shall be punished by hang
ing, and only crimes actually
committed after June Is shall
be punished by electrocution.
Attorney General Moose has
advised the Penitentiary Com
mission that it must make the
necessary arrangements for the
establishment of a death cham
Der with all the necessary equip
ment, at the penitentiary to car
ry out the provisions of the law,
as hanging will be obsolete af-
ter that date except for crimes
committed prior to June 13. The
act appropriated only $500 for
the purpose, but the lowest bid
the Commissioners have had for
the chair and equipment is
$4,000. The Attorney General
has advised that it is an emer-
gency that must be met.
A feature of the new law that
will interest the press is the pro-
vision that "No newspaper or
person shall print or publish the
details of the execution of crimi-
mails under this act. Only the
fact that the criminal was exc
cuted shall be printed or pub
lished."

Miss Clarice White rendered
very beautifully that ever popu-
lar selection "Narcissus," piece
in which feeling and soul are
dominant and were given very
happy expression by the young
lady.
The dangers of woman's SUI
frage were strongly ard elo-
quently portrayed by Miss Fay
Smith, whose logic was 50 good
that we feel her address might
do good among the militants on
the other side of the Atlantic.
The gist Of her argument was
that only the undesirable class
of women would exercise the
right Of suffrage if granted her
sex and that if women did be-
come voters, they would lose
their position and usefulness in
the home. Miss Smith made a
splendid argument, evincing an
analytical mind and scored we'll
with her audience.
The class prophecy was we'll
awarded in ascribing to Miss
Eva Paul Melvin this delectable
task Of foretelling the future of
her class. With a fanciful i'm
agination and in beautiful die
ton, she told of her transporta-
ton to realms in the skies where
the Fates entrusted to her ears
the lot of each member of the
class. Her stage appearance is
good and the prophecy fitted we'll

her young friends and brought
pleasure to the audience.

By reason of his sickness for

of his courage and refusal to be
deprived of participating in this

be seated with his class upon
this occasion.

, was the valedictory of Miss Leila
Beattie, whose address was a
striking review of American &C.

But the fact stands clear, that I am here
In this world of pleasure and woe.
And out of the midst and murk,
Another truth shines plain,
1t is my power each day and hour,
To add to its JOY or it's pain.
The trouble, think, with Us all is the
lack of high conceit;
If each boy thought he was sent to
this spot to make it bit more
sweet,
How soon we could gladden. the world,
How easily right all wrong.
If no nobody shirked, and each one
worked to help his fellows along,
Cease wondering why you came;
Stop looking for faults and flaws;
Rise up today in your pride and say:

However full the world, there is room
