Senator Davis Dies Suddenly

Llttle MOCK, Ark, Jan. 0.-DeIlH
ite arrangements tor the funeral of
United States Senator jeff Davis
had not been completed this morning
but it is probable that the services
will take place Sunday and that his
body will be placed in the family
burial plot at Russelville. Senator
Davis died suddenly at 12::3o O'Clock
this morning of heart failure, the
elimination of an illness of several
months, however, his condition ap'
parently was improving and yester-
day he was at the Office the greater
part of the day. The death of Sen.
ator Davis on the eve of the ratifica.
tion of his reelection by the legisla.
ture, creates a peculiar political stu
alton in Arkansas and while no au-
thoritative statement has been made
it is possible a special primary will
be called to select a successor for
the full term beginning March 4.
United States Senator jeff Davis
Was the only man enjoying the dis
tinction of having been governor OF
Arkansas for three terms. He was
elected to the office in 1900 and held
! it until 1906 when he was elected to
the senate for the term beginning
the next year. He was renomin-
ated at the recent primary over Con-
gressman Stephen Brundige. AS the
legislature is overwhelmingly DEM
ocratic, he would have been re-elec.
ted at the session which will con.
vene this month.
Mr.. Davis was born in Little River
Arkansas, in 1862 and was educated
at Russelville, Ark, and at Wander
bilt university. He was admitted to
the bar at the age of 19.
Senator Davis complained of not
feeling we'll early in the evening.
but the family physician who was
called, did not regard his condition
as serious. At midnight the
senator called to his son who
was in an adjoining room, that
he was i'll and to summon physi-
clan.
A doctor arrived half an hour lat
er. As he entered the room Senator
Davis fell back on his bed and was
dead when the physician reached
him.
Senator Davis, when he returned
home from Washington for the holl-
days, seemed III his usual health, and
yesterday was on the streets.
Senator Davis is survived by a
widow and seven children.

GOMPERS FIGHTS ON
TO ESCAPE JAIL FOR
CONTEMPT OF COURT

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The dis
trict court of appeals will devote the
entire session Tuesday and Wednesday
to the hearing Of arguments on the ap-
peal of Samuel Gompers and other la
Dor leaders against Jail sentences fof
alleged violation OF the injunction in
the Buck stove case.
The brief OF the committee Of prose-
cution denies the claim of the labor
men that the lower court erred In over
ruling the plea OF the statute of limi-
tations, which was done, it was al
legged, in the opinion of Justice Wright
and which plea was "disregarded and
overruled whenever presented at later
period in the case"
The Jail sentences are claimed in the
brief not to constitute "cruel and IN
usual" punishment as forbidden by the
constitution.

VETO RECORD IS
HELD BY TAT 7
Present Executive Has DiSap-
proved More important Bills
Than Any Other.

WASHINGTON, d. c. Feb. "a
President Taft will retire from the
white house nine days hence with 4
veto record eclipsing that of any Of
his predecessors.
1t is not so much the number Of
bills Mr.. Taft has disapproved, though
they are - in number up to date, as
it is their importance. They range all
the way from relief for private indi-
viduals to an attack upon the protec-
tive tariff principle. Not one of the
bills disapproved has been passed over
the veto. though this censure was mar
rowly escaped by Mr.. Taft q few days
ago in connection with the immigration
legislation.
The president is now considering
what action he will take with respect
to the Kenyon anti-hquor bill If he
should consider that measure uncon-
stitutional, he will veto It. Probably
congress will pass it over his veto.
During the three sessions Of the six
ty-first congress, covering the first two
years Of Mr.. Taft's administration,
when the Republicans were in control
of both houses, the president used the
veto sparingly. He disapproved of but
eight bills, one to amend the act Gre
ating the Mesa Verde national park
and the others to correct the military
records of men desiring pensions for
the relief of certain individuals and to
reinstate a number of cadets dismissed
for hazing from the military academy.
1t has been during the present con-
gress, with the Democrats in control Of
the house and the insurgents operating
In the senate that the president has
been active in disappearing legisla
ton. During the first session OF the
sitting congress he vetoed:
A bill admitting Arizona and
New Mexico as states.
A bill to reduce duties on wool
and manufactures Of wool.
bill to repeal the duties on ag
ricultural implements and it's arti-
cles.
A bill to reduce the duties on
manufactures of cotton.
During the second session OF the
sixty-second congress, the president
vetoed tariff bills as follows:
Revising the duties on iron and
steel.
Reducing the duties on wool and
woolens.

MEDICAL EXAMINATION
Before Marriage Should Be A
Law, Think County
Physicians.

At meeting of the Christian
County Medical Society. held here
last Tuesday, committee of three
members Of the society was named
to start a movement to have the
next Legislature to enact law to
have all persons proposing to marry
to undergo a medical examination
before the rite is solemnized.
The society believes this is one of
the best ways to crush out the white
plague and will doubtless be endors-
ed by the physicians of the entire
STATE. But there is a great block in
the way of the law being operative
in this section. We are so close to
Tennessee that the law may be evad-
ed at any time by those who want to
marry and they will skip off to
GAINESVILLE and be married there by
the first minister or magistrate they
can find. But there's no question
about the proposed law being a good
one if it could be enforced. Clsrks-
vile preachers, but more particular

FIRE CHIEF FEARS
Fought Fire With Fury Thurs
day Morning and Beat His
Department.

The consuming element is no re
spect r of persons as was proven
early Thursday morning when E. P.
Fears discovered that his home was
on fire. Mr.. Fears is chief of the
fire department and when the fire
in his bath room was burning at a
rate that would have soon eaten its
way into an adjoining room, Mr..
Fears told his wife to turn in the
alarm while he used the lawn hose.
The fire was put out by the time the
department arrived, though it made
a quick response.
Painters bad left some oily rags
in the bath room and spontaneous
combustion came near being the un-
doing of Mr.. Fears, as he had no in
surance. Loss about $25.

IN FORM OF A REQUEST,
Mayor Wants the Naughty
Dances Cut Out In
This City.
IN FORM OF A REQUEST,

At some of the recent dances in
this city, some of the new dan ces
put under the ban in other places
were INDUCED in and Mayor Meach-
am yesterday requested those giving
dance in the city to discourage
any indulgence in the turkey trot,
bunny hug, grizzly bear, tango or
other such dances calculated to
cause unfavorable criticism. The
same request will be made at other
places where balls are given. 1t is
believed that request will be all
that is necessary to stop such dances
in the city, as public sentiment is
strongly against them
These dances were this week
barred on the excursion boats at
Paducah and they are practically be-
ing suppressed in many of the larger
cities.

Made Manager of the Princess
Moving Picture Theatre
This Week.
A VERY WISE CHOICE MADE
Has Grown Up With the Bust
ness for Two or Three
Years.

The public Will be glad to know
that John w. Venable has received a
deserved promotion and is now the
manager of the Princess theatre,
succeeding Eugene Gull, who has
returned to Nashville. Mr.. Ven
able is local boy who started in the
moving picture business with George
Bleich about two and half years
ago. He was with the Gem awhile
and then became manager of the
Airdome in 1911. In November of
the same year he went to the new
Princess with Mr.. Bleich and was
continued in his position by Mr..
GULL in the spring of 1912. 1t was
the proper and natural thing for
him to drop into the vacancy caused
by Mr.. Guill's resignation. The
new manager is young for so re-
sponsible a place but equal to the
TASK. he is splendid. well equip
ed young man, intellectually ard
by the best of business training, and
will be sure to make good. The
Princess is owned by the Crescent
Amusement Co. of Nashville, which
operates Ia theatres in Tennessee
and Kentucky, including the only
vaudeville theatre in Nashville.
Mr.. Venable has engaged Norman
Sipher, of Cincinnati. as pianist at
the Princess. He assisted in the or
chestra Wednesday night. Few
changes will be made in the per-
sonnet of the employees for the time
being and the general policy of the
Princess will be continued without
change.
