 Law in the Death Chamber
 Confessed Religion.
EXECUTION A SUCCESS

Answering to the majesty of the law for Gbe crime of murder, Ed King, a young negro man, was ex- ecuted tills morning at the state penitentia.y by electrocution.
 Since yesterday afternoon King had teen preparing for the end, and had changed his stoic demeanor into one of submission. During the last 12 hours Prison Chaplain l.. Tomme was summoned to conduct prayer service for him three times. The negro troke down and wept freely and said that he vas wrong. and that he want ed to meet his Maker with clear conscience. On one of those occas- ions he said quite lengthy prayer. The condemned negro's prayer was as follows: Lord, am travelling the downward road. Lord take me by the hand and lead me, if I must die let me die with my hand in yours."
 :. Wanted to Die by Own Hand.
 Last night and this morning the negro refy.sed to eat much food and
 seemed to dread his impending fate, though, when he was carried to the death room yesterday afternoon by one of the prison officials, he seemed to view With interest the place of his

last earthly moments, and Said that if the chair was moved close enough to the electric switch he would turn on the current that would take away his life.
 At 9:43 a. m. he was brought into the death house, accompanied by the prison officials and the two negro preachers. While he was being seat ed in the chair and the electrodes and straps were being adjusted, the Rev. Hurned read the 23rd Psalm and sang the hymn, God Be With You Till Meet Again." Following this impressive ceremony at 9:48 o'clock the electric current was turn ed on by the prison electrician, and e few minutes afterwards the attend ing physicians, Dr. w. w. Coulton, prison physician Dr. J. J. Doyne and Dr. U. B. Fletcher of the State Hospital staff, pronounced Ed King dead.
  attending physicians, only the legally prescribed number of persons were allowed to witness the execution. This nur.Eer included State Senator Woods, brother of the man who was killed by King, Sheriff Hogan Oliver of Ashley County, and two newspaper representatives.
 Story of His Crime.
 The crime for which King paid the death penalty was the murder of Depu- ty Sheriff Will Woods of Hamburg, Ashley County, King was notorious ly bad negro, and he had been serving sentence for shooting another ne- gro, which was the second man that he had saot up in his life. Soon after beginning his sentence he escaped from the load and was being pursued by the officers when he shot Deputy Woods.
 Finding the negro going down Q road during the pursuit, Deputy Woods, accompanied by another of ficer, ordered him to throw up his hands and stop. Instead of doing so the negro whirled around and fired the fatal shot, killing Deputy Woods It is said that King had repeatedly stated that if he escaped from the road he would kill the first man that dared to re-arrest him.
 King was the second man to be electrocuted in the State following the abo!ishment7 of hanging by the last legislature.

 ROSPERITY
IMPROVING THE ARKANSAS RIVER

For the first time in several years there appears, by the annual report of the war department engineers in charge of river improvement, chance to secure for the Arkansas river in Arkansas; an appropriation of size sufficient to. make beginning on the long neglected work of restoring this once. great commerce carrier to it'a former and rightful state of useful ness.
 The engineers recommend sum which, added to an uneXpended bal anGe, will make available up to June 50, 1915, over half a million dollars. As stated this is no more than enough to make a beginning, for the stream has been So long neglected in it's up- per reaches (Pine Bluff to Fort Smith and mouth of the Grand) that i'm. mense labor and sums of money mus! be expended in the work of restora- tion. The river has been allowed to increase unchecked it's meanderinG habit, with the result that the chan nel is greatly heightened, it's banks have caved at the cost of thousands of acres of valuable land and the bed is filled with sand and silt.
 But the government seems about to make beginning and devices for Tightening cost and labor have been invented and constructed that may expedite the work. The government owns two steam dredgesS now nearly completed at Pine Bluff. and these will be placed in service, it is sup posed, early in the spring of 1914.
 While the amount of appropriation recommended is comparatively insig- nificant compared with the magni- tude of the work, nevertheless the re- port is most encouraging for it rec ognizes the navigability of the Arkan- sas from it's mouth to Fort Gibson on the Grand, a distance of 463 miles, and states that three foot stage can he maintained for this distance. This is the point for which advocates oi improvement of the Arkansas have long contended as justification for the claims they have been making that the government ought to do something for the Arkansas.
 It is altogether likely, too, that be- fore the recommendation of the en- gineers becomes Legislation in the rivers and harbors bill, Senator Clarke and the Arkansas represent atives will have gotten busy with their influence to have the amounts avail able on the Arkansas materially ln- creased. Among such items will be the $1O0,0O0 appropriation which Sen ator Clarke promised for the protec- tion of the Fort Smith water works
