After the shooting AT the Champion
mine the guards 81 deputies was lie
placed by a guard of militiamen. II
the latter had been on duty AT the
time the occasion for the trouble arose
there would have been no killing. The
strikers respect the soldiers, and also
fear them. They neither respect nor
fear the deputies. Yet il is obvious
the troops cannot remain on forever
and it's expensive work waiting for
the strike To succumb to hamilton. The
arrest of the six deputy shcriffs who
figured in the killing Of the two strik-
ers gives another interesting angle to
the incident Judged by the standards
OF the militia's service, the whole af-
fair Was as unnecessary as IL was
unfortunate, and was due primarily To
the laundering ineffCiCucy of the dep
uties. They have neither the discipline
nor the morale of the troops and for

ASK FOR SCHUMANN'S LIFE.
Hot Springs Citizens Appeal to Gov
 ePnOr, Who Makes No Reply.

Little Rock, May 14.-Represen- tative L. E. Sawyer and Harry Westcott of Garland county, ap- bearing not as counsel, but as in- terested citizens, presented an ap- plication to Governor Futrell Tues day afternoon for the communication to life Imprisonment of the death sentence of Clarence Schumann, who is under sentence to hang at Hot Springs May B for the murder of his wife.
 They argued that Schumann real ly loved and was deeply devoted to his wife, but that he was not ra- tional at the time he fired the fatal shots that killed her. Governor Futrell heard the application, but gave no reply to the petitioners. Other hearings may be had before he announces his decision. The state was not represented at the hearing Tuesday.

.BATSON SECURED
 VLRD|CTOF S2,4OO
Hard Fought Case Was Lost Be- fore Circuit Court for This Term Insurance Companies Ask
 for New Trial.

After discussing the case until midnight Thursday, the jury in the Batson insurance case failed to ar rive at a verdict, but met Friday morning, and after deliberating for a short time returned verdict in favor of Will Batson, the plaintiff, for S2,l00, which is only $i00 less than the jury gave him in the for mer trial.
 The counsel for the insurance companies immediately made a mo- ton for new trial.
 The general public is somewhat familiar with this case, which grew out of the burning of the Batson mill and plant at Grannis about two years ago. The insurance com panies refused to pay the policies, alleging misrepresentation of ma terial risks, also alleging arson. Nothing, however, of the latter mat ter was proved.

LINCOLN BEACHY
 TO FLY NO MORE
Master Birdman Says the Efforts of Others to Reform as He Did Cost Their Lives-PeOple Paid
 to See Him Killed.

San Francisco, May 12.-Lincoln Beachey aviator, will never fly again, according to his statement at the Alympic Club.
 You could not make me enter an aeroplane at the point of a revoI- yer, he solemnly asserted. I'm done.
 They called me the master bird man, but there was just one thing which drew crowds to my exhibi- tions-a morbid desire to see some thing happen. They all predicted would be killed, and none wanted to miss getting in on it. They paid to see me die. They bet, and the odds were always against my life"
 Beachey read roster of 24 avi- ators who have been killed when flying.
 Those boys were like brothers to me, ," he said.
 Tn Chicago last September kearney's mother begged me not to teach Horace any more tricks. Kearney turned and said:
 " Mother, I must be a top-liner. I must be as good as Beachey or take a back seat I must try the same tricks he does.
 Three months later he was dead.
 The wife of Welsh begged him to cut out the spiral Beachey does them, he said I must do them if 1 am to get the money
 Charlie was doing the reverse spiral two weeks later at Trenton, N. J.-a wire snapped; they picked him up dead.
 Sometime later I sent some tick cts to Mrs. Elby. She sent back the tickets, writing: Eugene would be with me now if he had never seen you fly

SITUATION NOT ALARMING.
Wilson Says Conferences With Ja- pan Ambassador Have Been Frank

Washington, May I2.-President Wilson is so certain that no i'm portant amendment will be made to the tariff bill in the Senate that he probably will make known in- formally his currency views this week.
 The president believes the nego- tiations with Japan over the Cali fornia situation are not in an alarming stage, but that the ex- changes of views thus far advanced have been along frank, friendly lines, calculated to remove any ap- pearance of discrimination against the Japs.
 President Wilson this morning in- timated that Japan's protest is not on the ground that the California bill violates the treaty in any way, but that there is an effort to dis criminate against the Japs.

BRUND|DCE FAVORS
 THE HONOR SYSTEM
strongly Advocates Using White COnvicts to Build Good Roads While Negroes Stay On Farm
 to Pay the Expenses.

Little Rock, May 13.-Stephen Brundidge, candidate for governor, will endeavor to work Arkansas eonVicts on the roads, under the honor system now being used suc- cessfully in Colorado, if elected governor.
 T am decidedly in favor of mak- ing radical changes in the manner Of handling conyicts," stated Col. Brundidge while discussing the care and maintenance of convicts in Lit tie Rock Sunday night. The gov ernor of Colorado recently picked from the penitentiary of that state conVicts whom the officials believed could be trusted, and in whose bos- oms they thought still remained the feeling of honesty and honor. The murderers or real long term men were not taken, but several hun dred convictS were picked out and sent out on the roads to build good ones and make themselves useful to the state. In twelve months these men had constructed high ways that would otherwise have cost S265,0O0. Less that two per cent of the convicts attempted to escape. They felt they were work ing for the good of the state and were building something they and their families would be benefited by.
 All conVicts in Arkansas could not be worked like that. I don't be- lieve you could trust the negro con- victs, but you could take from the 200 white men in the state prison, 100 or i25 for the purpose of trying the Colorado system in Arkansas, and I firmly believe it will work satisfactorily here. Let these men build good roads and the negroes stay on the farm to pay expenses of those working the roads. I be- ieve the penitentiary can be made self-sustaining, and at the same time have as many as i50 or 200 men working on the roads at all times"
