M'YAY A PUZZLE ID MEDICAL MEN Condemned Murderer Only a Mass of Skin and
 Bones.
SILENT FOR WEEKS
Prisoners Care For Him-Friglltened Into d Coma at the Thought
 of the GallOWS.

John M. McVay, the condemned murderer of J. W. Ethridge, is a pug gle to the medical men who have ex- amined him at the county jail. He has not spoken one word for nearly month. Not muscle moves, except an occasional turning of the head on his pillow; his eyes are set and glassy < md only when it is forced down his throat doe: he swallow food offered to him. His physical condition is .waakened and his pulse shows no inn movement over that on the day when 1.-the physicians made a careful eX- animation of him on January 2, rec ommending that he be not hanged the next day and upon whose recom- mendation former Governor George w. Donaghey granted the prisoner a l stay of execution until January 31. If his condition i: still the same on that day as it is at present it is not likely that Governor Robinson will permit him to be carried to the gal hws-for that is what will have tc be done if he is legally executed.
 Some people, who have not seen McVay or watched his feeble actions from day to day, believe him to be ieigning.. Frank Hall and w. $. Bud Rhea, prisoners: in the county Jail who have attended him night and day and have stood over him for hours at time, cannot explain the case. They believe he has lost his memory and his speech as well. They lave been exceedingly kind to the itricken man and have given him eV- cry comfort within their power Tuesday, when a Graphic representa- i've and Constable J. s. Balraque, ol Altheimer, accompanied Sheriff Ed gar Brewster to the county jail to Zee McVay, Hall and Rhea were in Ae act of giving him a bath, the second one they have been able to Eve him during his long contlnemenl m the prison.

PLAINTIFFS ASK
 SALE OF PROPERTY
MERCANTILE COMPANY AND GIT. lLENs BANK SUE 0. E. Me. kENXIE AND STEELE
 ESTATE,
would F0reclose Deeds of Trust Ex. ecuted By Late W. (. Steele
 and Wife.

The Pine Bluff Mercantile Company R. $. Cherry, trustee, and 1be Git lzens Bank yesterday brought suit in the Jefferson ehancery court against Oscar k. Mckenzie, Mary E. Steele personally as an administrator of the estate of her late husband, w. C. Steele, and his heirs in which the plaintiffs ask that deeds of trust held by o. E. Mckenzie and themselves be foreclosed and Lot } in Block 63 ot Woodruff's addition be sold and ceftan notes paid. The suit was filed by Attorneys Taylor and Jones.
 It Is alleged by the plaintiffs that they hold note, executed by W. C. Steele and wife on January H., 1911, to the ne Bluff Mercantile Company to satisfy an indebtedness of s2,1O7.- OI. The note was given for one year and is secured by a deed of trust on Lot ?, Block 63 in Woodruff's addi- ton. The Citizens Bank is now the holder of the note and is made a CO., plaintiff n the proceeding.
 Previous to the execution of this noe, it is stated, w. c. Steele ex- ecuted similar deed of trust on the same property to Oscar E. Mckenzie, giving notes for 5000 which were to be pa in five years, but which have expired and remain unpaid. It is charged that o. E.. Mckenzie refuses to foreclose the deed of rust he holds. The plaintiffs want the deeds of trust foreclosed and the property sold by a commissioner, that the in- debtedness might be paid to all par ties concerned.

CONVENTION WILL
Be HELD At SALIVA
August 9 Date When Good
Roads Delegates VIII
Meet.

One OF the direct results of the visit
Of the Indiana tourists is the call for
a good roads convention which is sched
,uled for Salina, Utah. on August 9. Del
eeates from Emery. Sanpete. Juab, Gar
field, Piute. Wayne, Beaver, Millard,
Iron, Washington and Kane counties
viii attend.
The object OF this convention is
to seek ways and means for road i'm
provements in this section, the improv-
ing of Salina canyon and the opening
of route from Salt Lake 20 the Grand
Canyon of the Colorado. These the
citizens OF this section are determined
to have and believe the convention will
20 long way toward awakening the
people TO the necessity Of such roads.
The decision to hold such conven-
iion was reached by the party Of auto,
noblists who iourneyed to Grand
Junction. Green River and Price, Utah,
TO meet the Indiana tourists. Although
the Indiana party did not pass through
nny Of the important towns represented
bv the counties which issue the call for
the convention, vet their delegates were
loyaI enough TO the Midland trail and
cnough interested IN the general well
fa.c Of the state to turn out In num-
bcrs sufficient TO surprise even the tour
lists themselves. Fully twenty cars from
the counties named above helped to
greet the tourists and welcome them to
Utah. These gentlemen saw the posi-
biIities of touring and immediately set
about TO secure roads which would draw
tourists TO their counties.

LOW PRICE CARS
SHOW EFFICIENCY

The recent running Of the Gliddcn
tour, in which both the Glidden and
Anderson trophies were captured by the
Metz "2o' roadster, demonstrates con
clusively that it is possible to build a
thoroughly good car to sell at a con
spicuously low price.
The team OF three Metz stock cars
that were entered in the Glidden tour
were the only team in the race to main.
tain perfect score for the entire eight
days of the contest, and it must be ad.
mitted that they completely vanauished
their competitors, although many of
them sell at from FIVE TO ten times the
price Of the Metz "22,'' which is S475
completely equipped. The nearest COM
petitor to the Metz was able to show
perfect score for only the first two
days Of the contest.
The performance Of the Metz is all
the more interesting because of the
fact that before entering the tour it
made a remarkable nonstop record run
of 1000 miles from Boston to Minneapo,
lis in ninety hours, thereby beating its
own schedule by six hours, and in spite
of the enforced covering Of moro than
100 rifles additional because Of losing
the road.

Growing Trees From Top Down.

trees In a short time. though they may
be small. These trees are 80 ar.
ranged that after two years time they
will give as much shade as trees In
the ordinary way of setting out would
give that are fifteen or twenty years
old. The company gets a small elm
tree, preferably digging this, roots
and all. from the ground. The tree
then Is set, the top part being set
into the ground and the roots are left
in the air. The tree then grows, forms
roots on which originally was the top

INFLUENCE OF HOUSE PLANTS
Their Positive Value Extends Not
Only to Those In the Home, But
to the Passerby.

The cultivation of house plants has
a refining and quieting influence on
families where they are grown; they
adorn the house as nothing else can,
and give to the cheapest furniture an
air Of elegance which no other orna.
ment can !mpart. And the influence
of flowers Is not confined to the house
or household where they are cult.
waited; they are a most graceful form
OF charity to the poor passerby who
has no means Of gratifying his taste
for the beautiful. To him, blooming
flowers, surrounded by their leaves Of
different shapes and shades, even
when only seen at a distance, through
a window, give a positive pleasure
which those more accustomed to such
qualifications can scarcely appreciate.
1t is impossible to overestimate the
effect of youthful association and daily
companionship with such exquisite
shape and coloring, which foster in the
minds Of children a taste for simple
and natural forms of amusement an<
recreation.
