Little Rock, June 9.-The con .ests

now getting keen, and opposition is
cropping up to persons who were SUD-

Probably the first appointment to

Caron was demanded several weeks

for al the same time. The term Of
Register Caron expires June 10, and
he had no objection to complying with
the request, but Bush has over a
year to serve. and declines to tender
his resignation. Bush is negro and
has served in this capacity for Is

Supreme Court Rules That
Absence of Defendant
From Court No Ground.
CAREFULLY REVIEWED
Many Precedents Cited to Prove That
Court May Proceed in Alb.
sence OF Accused.

Little Rock, Ark, June 9.-The Ar
kansas Supreme Court on Monday
morning affirmed the action Of the
Boone Circuit Court in the conviction
of Odus Davidson for the brutal mur-
der of Miss Ella Barham, which oc-
CURED near Harrison last fall. Da-
wilson was convicted of murder in the
frs degree.
1t is doubtful if case of more le-
gal interest Or a crime OF more revolt
ing nature ever occupied the attention
ola court of Arkansas. The jury
which heard the testimony in this
case las. January deliberated but
short time in reaching verdict, but
the feeling was SO intense against Da-
wilson that the presiding judge de-
cided that it would be best to remove
the defendant 20 the jail at Berry
vile to prevent a lynching, should
the verdict be unpopular with the cit
liens when rendered. Consequently
Davidson was not present when the
verdict was rendered, and the attor-
neys for The defense made this their
principal demand for a reversal of
the lower court. They claim it was
in violation of the Constitution. as
we'll as of the statutes of Arkansas.
Case Thoroughly Reviewed
In a twenty-three PACED opinion,
the Supreme Court through Chief
Justice McCulloch, with Associate
Justices Wood and Smith dissenting,
went into every legal phase Of the
case, even to recent decision Of the
United States Supreme Court, which
is in line with the cantentions of the
attorneys for Davidson, but which
the Arkansas court holds does not
apply to The case in question.
There are number Of minor claims
in the appeal, as to improper instruc-
lions by the Boone Circuit Court, but
none of them are considered to be of
sufficient Importance for a reversal,
the Supreme Court paying attention
almost entirely to the claim that
Davidson should be given a reversal
because he was absent from the court
room when the verdict was rendered.
The first contention of the defense
was that there were several indict-
ments charging Davidson with the

doctor. It is many times a misnomer.
Publicity in any profession is the
breath of life. Without newspaper
advertising many business enterprises
medicine is like the practice of law.
To keep prominently in the lead it
is necessary to advertise.
1t should be optional with the doct-
ors. If they do not desire newspaper
publicity they can dispense with it,
but the doctor who does desire to adj
vertise should not be called charla-
tan.
Many intelligent doctors through
that publicity through the newspapers
when inspired by proper motives and
kept within proper bounds, can be
made of supreme alue to the public
and to themselves.
The average newspaper advertiser
looks to the press to display his wares
The reader looks to the newspaper for
information. Many doctors do not
carry their allegiance to professional
ethics quite as far as they once did.
1t should be optional with the ply
sicians to advertise in a dignifed way
if they see fit to. Every one recogni-
yes the dignity OF the profession.
Every one has the highest respect for
the man of medicine, but it must be
frankly admitted that it does seem
ultra conservative to brand man a
charlatan because he desires to in
form the public where hi soffice is
best consulted

Doctors and Publicity.

The Brooklyn Eagle has brought up
a timely topic for discussion-Say

deals with the doctors right to enjoy
the publicity OF the public press.
The false spirit of modesty has pre-
vented members of the profession
from advertising. The physician who
does advertise has been regarded as a
quack or faker From time to time
medical societies have been assaulted
with the charge of ultra conservatism.
There is measure of business in this
charge.
Preachers are now using the news
papers of the country as a medium oil
advertising Lawyers, architects; in
fact, men of all professions, regard
such advertising as legitimate
1t does not necessarily mean that
because a professionally man seeks
publicity he lacks dignity. Because a
doctor seeks publicity through the
columns Of the press it does not imply
that he is quack
Unfortunately, too many incompe-
tent physicians do advertise. They
are not justly entitled to the name OF

Tense has asked that the State cleo !.
upon which of the indictments it
chose to try the case. The indictments
was committed by different modes.
The court refused to limit the state to
one Indictment, holding that il charS-
ed but one otfense. The other con-
tention of the defense was that the
trial was vitiated on account OF the
verdict of the jury having been re-
ceived during the absence of the de-
PENDANT.
Absent When Verdict Returned
The record entry in the case shows
that Davidson was presen. when the
verdict was returned, but the circuit
judge certified to the absence of the
defendant at that time in the bill OF
exceptions, and also showed that the
attorneys for Davidson had entered a
written stipulation conserving to a
verdict being returned in his absence.
The stipulations were signed by e.
G. Mitchell and B. B. Hudgins, the
attorneys for Davidson.
The Supreme Court declares that
when there is a conflict in the record
entry and in the bill of exceptions the
record entry must prevail, but in this
case the certificate of the circuit Judge
favored the bill of exceptions, and
chat would be considered
The attorneys for Davidson asked
for postponement of judgment I'M
til the next term of the Circuit Court
in order that the record might be
amended to show that Davidson was
absent through consent of his attor-
neys. This the Supreme Court denied,
saying it would not go into the matter
a the present time and dispose OF the
question adversely to the defendant if
there was a chance to change the
result in the disposition in the case.
The Supreme Court treated the record
as amended so as to show the absence
of the defendant by consent, and test
ed the right of the defendant to a re-
versal on that state Of the record.
Constitutional Guarantee
The attorneys for the state argued
tina tthe Constitutional provision does
not guarantee the right Of the accused

what Mr.. Gaylor has already amour
ced is a criterion, the hopes of those
who supported that party will have
gone glimmering long before the
'teething period" in the life of,the in
coming administration has arrived.
The first real evidence of retrench-
ment is the appointment of three
members Of the board of public works

and city controller at $1,000 per
annum, with a possibility OF $500.

leap over the $3.44 tax rate, which
