Bruce Bullion May Enter.
Special to Independent.

Special to independent.
Little Rock, Oct. 23.-Eforts
are being made by friends of
Bruce T. Bullion to get him
into the race for Secretary of
State, but as yet he has given
no intimation that he will make
the contest for the office.
He will not discuss the matter,
which is characteristic with him.
Bullion was private secretary to
Governor George w. Donaghey
during his two terms of office.
He was also secretary Of the
State Democratic Central Com
mittee for four years, and is now
a clerk in the office of the State
Tax Commission.
He is a native of Faulkner
county, beng a graduate OF Hen
dirk college, and formerly an
attorney at Conway. Mr.. Bull
lion was captain of a company in
an Arkansas regiment during the
Spanish-American war, but did
not get beyond Chickamauga
Park. If Mr.. Bullion announces
for the race he is bound to be a
factor, due to his extensive &C
ouaintance over the state and
the courteous treatment he &C
corded all while in the office OF
; Governor Donaghey.

Stevens Gets Pen Sentence.

Batesville, Oct. 23.-The first
penitentiary sentence inflicted
was that of Charles Stevens,
convicted in the court yesterday
afternoon of a felony by a jury
and sentenced to serve five years
in the penitentiary. He is an ig-
norant young man, and perhaps
has no idea of the crime OF
which he is found guilty.
Grant Goodwin of Oil Trough
was convicted in one case of SELL
ing liquor without license and
fined $50. Another case against
him was dismissed on motion OF
the prosecuting attorney. He
was again arrested by the feder-
al authorities and held to the
federal grand jury this morning
on a similar charge.
Will Dickerson, charged with
forgery, entered a demurrer to
the indictment. The demurrer
was overruled and accepted.
Rube Barnett, charged with
disturbing the peace, was trleo
by a jury and acquitted.
Ben Hutchinson, charged with
disturbing the peace, entered
plea of former conviction Inc
plea was sustained and he was
discharged.

Cost of The Last Term.

The last term of the Jackson
circuit court, and it is not over
yet, for an adjourned session is
to be held in December, has cost
the county about $5,964.1O, or
an amount practically the same
as the total cost of the two pre-
vious terms combined, which
was $5,963.47.
These figures may be startling
to taxpayers and are the result
of the many murder cases heard
at the last term, the costs of the
term being made up, as follows:
Cases in which nolle presses or
acquittals were secured and the
costs thus fall against the coun-
ty ----- -----$1686.1O
Grand Jury-Attendance
and mileage ---$ 617.85
Petit Jury-Attendance
and mileage ------2,474.75
Circuit clerks fees--- 51,10
Jury Commissioners 900
Witnesses before grand
Jury-------------- 377.OO
Sheriff. fees and mil
/ cage ----- 636.3O
Board for juries in murder
cases (estimated)-- 10000
Total court expenses 6,352.10
To offset this heavy expense
1926 was received in fines, SAP
for jury tax in criminal cases
and $21 in civil cases, or a total
credit of 1888, which reduces
the cost of the term thus far to
| S., 964.10 as previously stated.
There Is no reason to believe
that our next term of court will
be so expensive as this, proba-
bly, the heaviest in the history
of the county and as the assess
ment of the county has proba-
bly, been raised one-fifth, the
next settlement should still re-
tire the whole scrip indebted
ness of the county.

In his decision Special Master
Wallace held that the title to
the property passed from the
consignor to the consignee when
the commodity was delivered to
the railroad company for ship
ment. When the consignor paid
the freight and the draft, the
right of possession also passed
to the consignee. He quoted an
old liquor case in which a mail
order was filed in Little Rock
and sent to Ozark, the express
company to collect for the pack
age. In this case the company
was charged by a court with
selling liquor in Ozark, but the

holds Mrs. Nettie L. Pope of New

report OF Coroner Mix was received

near Gilbert street late in the after

Washington-The annual report Of
Secretary Redfield of the Depart.
ment of Commerce, which was made
public here, throws the first definite
light on the present views of the AID.
ministration In regard to the regula-
ton of industrial corporations.
1t contains suggestions which, 1t is
believed, indicate clearly the charac-
ter of the programme the Wilson Ad-
ministration will recommend in it's
efforts to have antitrust legislation
enacted at this session.
Joseph A. Davies. Commissioner Of
Corporations. is one of the men with
whom the President has conferred in
regard to the antitrust programme
about to be introduced in Congress.
This is what the report says on that
subject:
THAT there are immediate and we'll
known conditions that should and can
be remedied by law is apparent. Some
of these remedies are, for instance,
a law providing that there shall be
presumption that all restraints of
trade are unreasonable and placing
the burden of establishing the reason
ableness of such restraint upon the
party alleging it; legislation looking
to fundamental charter provisions for
every corporation doing interstate
business; that stocks and bonds shall
not be issued except for money or
property at its true money value, pre-
venting the watering of stocks; that
corporations shall not hold stock in
other competing companies, and that
neither person nor corporation
shall at the same time own a con-
trolling interest in two or more eom-
peting corporations and that the OF
ficers of corporations shall not be AT
filiated directly or indirectly by hold
ing office in other corporations"
That the above reflects the Admin
istration's programme seems TO be
further indicated by the following
from Secretary Redheld's report
Congress will undoubtedly address
itself to some of these aspects Of the
situation with curative provisions"
