,..:o, Roaring 5000 Names Will Be
presented to Governor Asking
TI,man be Given Life SEN
fence in Penitentiary.

r;ttla Rock May 15.-Indications
.ro that the hearing in the Office cf
r.vonor Hays on May q, when the
s.+;tion for communication of the death
lontonce of Arthur Tillman will be
bo.m will be an extensive affair.
There will be quite a few people in
J;ttle Rock to demonstrate against a
.boroe of sentence, while a petition
hoo,ipp over 5000 names will be pre-
,ontod asking that Tillman be given
life in the peitentiary instead of being
nut TO death. The aged parents of
Tillman are expected at the hearing,
and it is probable that the young man
will also be permitted to leave the
death cell to plead his case with the
governor
Arthur Tillman was convicted of
the murder Of his girl sweetheart,
Amanda Stephens, near Paris, and
throwing the body in a we'll He was

WILL SEARCH
FOR ILLEGAL SIGNERS
Too Many Signatures on State Mining
Board Bill in Same Hand Writing
Operators Expect to Search
For Every Signer.

Little Rock, May 15.-Additional
signatures to the publicity bill were
Thursday afternoon filed with Secre-
tary of State Hodges, and represen-
tatives of the coal operators began
copying the signatures on the state
mining board bill This bill will no
doubt be attacked in the courts. for
it is claimed that there are many sig
natures which appear with names in
the same handwriting, and nothing to
indicate the work was done by author
ity of those whose names were signed.
The operators expect to make a search
for every signer, and if illegal sigma
lures are found, to attack the petition,
and at the same time push criminal
proceedings against those who circu-
lated the petitions. There are a half
dozen stenographers at work on the
mining board petition.
1t is probable that the bankers of
the state will take look at the bank
guaranty bill, and endeavor to find
enough signatures that should not be
there, to prevent the initiation of the
bill.

circulated only among the newspaper

interest manifested in it, that copies

FLEEING FEDERALS
IN SERIOUS PLIGHT
Enemy Controls Railroads and Coun-
try is Rugged and Almost I'm
passablc. All Remains
Quiet at Vera Cruz

Vera Cruz, Mex, May IA vio-
lent electrical storm in the vicinity of
Tampico has rendered the wireless
virtually useless and only meager de-
tails of the situation at Tampico were
received today. The plight Of the Fed
erals under General Zaragoza, who
are retiring in the direction of San
Luis Potosi along the railroad, is con
sidered by those who know the coun-
try as extremely serious.
The Constitutionalists have overrun
the territory about San Luis Potosi
and control considerable portion of
the railroad. Northward toward the
Federal lines the country is rugged
and barren and probably impassable
to the weary veterans of Tampico.
Zaragoza Hard Pressed.
In Zaragoza's rear are Constitu-
tionalist forces, elated by victory and
ready to press after him. The gener-
al belief here is that the little force
of Federals will be cut to pieces.
Within the city there were frequent
native patriotic demonstrations before
the attack began. A few recruits had
reach General Zaragoza, but the Con-
stitutionalists had increased to 5000
with II, field guns, making the odds
against the Federals hopeless The
ammunition supply aboard the FEEDER
al gunboats had been greatly reduced,
and this is considered the probable
cause of Zaragoza's determination to
evacuate the city.
Perfect Quiet of Vera Cruz
The situation at Vera Cruz was one
of absolute quiet today and General
Funstons men have settled down to
the routine of garrison duty. With
the arrival of additional equipment
it is probable that most of the troops
will be put under canvas,
Consul Canada is disturbed over the
detention of a Cuban messenger who
was sent ont to General Mas lines
with a letter urging the release of
Admiral Fletcher's Filipino servant,
who wandered out into the Mexican
territory and has been held by the
Federals for more than a week. The
Cuban has been gone four days, and it
is learned that he, too is held by the
Federals The Cuban also bore note
to General Mas regarding the MeXi-
can generals personal property which
he abandoned when he withdrew from
the city. The authorities are an
xious to return the property.

conference RUNNERS
Second IN their event

Down in Dover a handful of boys
attending the Wilmington Conference
Academy, clad in the abbreviated
garb known as track suits. have been
training, or attempting to train for
a month, Every afternoon on poor
track they have been racing their
legs on. They got no encourage
ment. very little coaching, and the
poorest kind of training a man can
have for the heart-breaking 4.40--a
total lack af any systematic work.
Nobody paid much attention TO
them. There was always something
to write about the speed men of other
colleges and schools In the State.
This man did this in such a trial,
and some fellow ran mile In moth
ing fiat and came back In less.
According to the Durham handed
out the Penn track was I'm danger
of being set on fire, even il It was
raining, when certain teams left to
attend the races, Saturday morning.
Through it all the four men from
Dover who had worked so hard were
forgotten about. Some people from
Delaware looked with mild interest at
the start of the twenty-second event.
Wilmington Conference Academy was
in il. Three minutes and fifty sec
onds later a man making his final
effort to break the tape, bounded into
the cotton twine a scant yard and a
half ahead of one of the boys from
Dover, who came unheralded to the
big field, won second place for their
school and incidently saved their
State from the humiliation of having
several teams entered in the carnival
and not winning a place.
The honors of the day from Della
ware go to the Conference boys. They
ran a splendid race. finishing only an
inch behind in their event and car
ried home the only medals that came
to the Blue Hen State.
