COMMERCIAL BODIES
 MAY FIN MANCE EXHIBIT
Efforts Will Be Made to Have ..rkan- sas Represented at tic Pana-
 nia-pacific Exposition.

When the Arkansas Federation O. Commercial Clubs holds it first regu- uar meeting in Little Rock Many 27, Secretary H. G. Spaulding, of the local Chamber of Commerce, will present to that body proposition which was taken up with him yesterday in a let ter from George Hough. Perry, direc- tor of the Division of Exploitation O. the Panama-Pacific International EX- position.
 In his letter MT. Perry states that as the Arkansas legislature made no appropriation for the state to par ticipate in the exposition, it would be advisable to launch movements for the raising of this fund by the vari- CHS commercial organizations. He stated that both Iowa and Montana have initiated momvements of this character and the people of these states are responding nobly.
 This proposition will be presented to the various secretaries of the com- mercial organizations of the state at the meeting in Little Rock by Secre- tary Spaulding, who is the chairman of the Committee on Appropriations from this State, and it is expected that some definate action will be taken il the matter.
 That Arkansas should be represent cd at the Exposition is fact that cannot be denied and it is eXpectel that strenuous efforts will be made to raise fund for this purpose.

WILL, INQUIRE INTO
 LABOR CONDITIONS
State Labor Commissioner Clay Will! lnterrogate Girls Working in
 Little Rock Stores.

Little Rock, May 16.--tlalf a dozen Little Rock firms that employ girls
 are to be submitted to an inqusitor"
 ial process by the State Labor Com
 missioner, J. c. Clary, who arrived today from Warren. Suhnoenas are being issued, and the employees are to be taken before the Commissioners and questioned concerning the wage, paid the girls, and the conditions un- der which they are employed. It is expected that this inquiry will widen as the Commissioner gets into the cases. It has been brought about largely by the publication of the in dustrial section of the report of the Little Rock Vice Commission, which found that non-living wage is being paid many of the girls employed i'll stores, shops. and offices. It is eX-
 pected to result in a movement fol the establishment of a minimum wage which has been undertaken in so many other states.

His Wife Spanked Him.

Because his wife spanked him with
a board in which there was a large
nail, J. A. Brown, of Atlanta, Ca,
has asked the superior court to grant
him a divorce. The above is given
in his petition as a specific instance
of cruelty on the part of Mrs. Lizzie
Brown, who, her husband says, owns
a 27-acre farm in DeKalb county.
Brown recites that the nail pro-
truded through the board, and when
he was struck by the board the nail
penetrated the flesh to the bone of
his thigh. He adds that if he had
not held his wife until he could get
a chance to get away he believes he
would have been seriously injured.
The couple were married in Feb
ruary, 1908, and lived together until
August 25, 1911, when the alleged
spanking took place. The husband
says he was deserted by his wife.
He also claims that she made mar
ried life impossible by violent tenn
per. and that she would fly into a
frenzy without cause, and would
curse and abuse him.

AyengeS Sister.

Elizabeth City, N. c., Feb. "a

prominent young business man OF
Chapanoke, had ruined his sister,
Murden Stokely shot him through
the brain this morning and coolly
awaited the officers on the scene OF
the shooting, Armstrong; stables,
this city.
Young Stokely is son of Rufus
Stokely, a prominent farmer OF the
Chapanoke section, and is said to
have come with his father early this
morning on a search for his 17-year-
old sister, who had left home with
Towe Saturday night. The search
ended at the home of a relative,
where the girl had given birth to a
child. Soon thereafter young Stoke
ly saw Towe on the street in an .au-
tomobile and informed him that the
elder Stokely wanted to see him at
the stables.
Arriving there Towe was asked to
marry the girl whom he is alleged to
have ruined, and is said to have re-
fused. Thereupon Murden Stokely
drew his pistol and shot'him through
the brain.
Towe, fell, mortally wounded, and
was carried to the Arlington Hotel;
but died before relatives from Chap
anoke could reach him. His slayer
awaited the officers, maintaining that
he felt justified in avenging the
wrongs of his family.
Both families are we'll known and
prominent in their community. The
tragedy has shocked the entire town.

A Darkey Playmate.

A telegram from Palm Beach,
Fla, says:
Edward B. Mclean and his wife,
the former Evelyn Walsh, daughter
of the late Thomas R. Walsh, who
have three-year-old son, Vinson,
commonly known as the "s1,O00,0OO
baby" because it is said he will in
herit that sum, have taken little
negro boy as their fostering. He is
John Winbush, of P. street near
Massachusetts avenue, Washington.
P. T. Spencer, Mr.. McLean's attor-
ney, brought the little negro boy to
Palm Beach to-day, after preparing
the papers, which the child's parents
signed for a consideration, relin-
gushing their rights over the boy
forever. By the contract Mr.. and
Mrs. Mclean do not actually adopt
the child. He is not to bear their
name or to inherit from them except
as specified in the contract. He is,
however, to be treated as an equal
of young Vinson Mclean and furn-
ished with every luxury until he is
fifteen years, when he is to become
Wilson's valet.
Mr.. Mclean made this statement
concerning the transaction:
''I do not want my boy to grow
up living the life common to children
of wealthy people. I am getting this
boy for my sons playmate because
he is a healthy, normal, simple-mlnd-
ed child. The companionship of this
child will keep my son mindful of the
fact that he is one of the people. l
don't want son of mine a snob. The
trend of wealth is in that direction.
Moreover, my son has been in the
company of men, his detectives and
nurses so much that he is becoming
precocious. 1t is the best thing for
him to have a healthy little boy OF
his own age to play with. l was
brought up in the same way, hrst
with a negro nanny, then a negro
boy, who was my playmate and later
my valet"
Jack Winbush, Jr., began leading
his new life when he left Washington,
where he had been supplied with
fine wardrobe. He had a drawing
room to himself on the Florida
special of the Seaboard. He eats at
the table with young Mclean in the
family's private dining-room. He is
the only negro allowed on the bath
ing beach.
Dressed in white sailor suits and
both bare-legged, Vinson and Jack
played in the sand all morning IN
front of the Casino. The children
made their appearance hand in hand
and seemd to be great chums as
they played with shovels and pals.
Mr.. Mclean engaged one of the ne
gro bellboys at the hotel as a per-
sonal servant for this child.

OBJECT TO CUSTOMS PLAN.
Smith, Byrnes and Ellerbe Lodge
Protest with Taft.

Washington, Feb. 24.-Senator p.
D. Smith and Congressman Byrnes
and Ellerbe called at the White
House this morning, protesting
against the resolutions of the Gus
toms service, which proposes to make
Beaufort and Georgetown supports
of the port of Charleston. While Mr..
Byrnes would not state exactly what
the president had to say on the sub
ject, yet he was somewhat encourag-
ed that no change would be made by
Mr. Taft. x:
Majority Leader Underwood de-
clared on the floor of the house a few
days ago that the president would ap-
prove and promulgate the plan be-
fore going out of office, and Attorney
General Wickersham is understood to
have rendered an opinion, that the
law requires Mr.. Taft to do this. The
president can make any changes he
chooses in the resolution proposed by
the treasury department, provided
only a saving of s350,000 a year is
effected by changes, and some per-
sons who are close to the administra-
ton believe that Mr.. Taft will con-
solidate new ports enough with 9th
ers to meet the reduced appropriation
of the next fiscal year and leave the
status quo of the rest undisturbed.

NEW STATE GAME WARDEN.
Col. A. A. Richardson, Of Barnwell,
Appointed by Governor.

Columbia, Feb. 24.-Upon the
recommendation of Mayor Gibbes as
president of the Audubon Society,
Gov. Blease has appointed Col. AL
fred Aldrich Richardson, of Barn
WELL. as chief game warden. Section
TAT, Volume 2, of the Code, provides
that the Audubon Society of the State
shall send in the name of suitable
person to the governor to be chief
game warden and the governor must
transmit this name, with his recon-
mendation, to the State senate. The
governor will send this appointment
to the senate tomorrow night.
Gov. Blease is very much opposed
to this position and will so state
in his message to the senate. How
ever, the law provides that he shall
transmit the name, and in view of
the fact that the legislature has just
ordered the claim of James Henry
Rice for his salary last year as game
warden paid, which claim the gov
ernor fought so vigorously, the gov
ernor has decided to put the matter
I'D to the senate. He hopes that the
senate will refuse to pay the Rice
claim and refuse to have game
warden, as the governor considers
this useless office.

two young medical students who
were charged with persuading 10
year-old Mary Clarke to leave her
mothers home in Atlanta, were

and jammed with students of all the
local medical colleges and the noise
they made was so great that the re-
corder and police were called upon
to restore order.
Miss Clarke testified that she was
not persuaded to leave her mother,
but that she already intended to do
so and that all they did was to aid
her with her baggage. Gibson, it is
declared, is in love with Miss Clarke.
He stated, when arrested, it is said,
that he intended to marry her.
