The Newark journal., 1914-02-06

The Journal today contains the announcement of Senator T. J. Raney of this place as a candidate for railroad commissioner for the Northeastern district of Arkansas.
 Mr. Raney was born and raised in this community and his life is an open book to the citizens of this neighborhood.
 Tom Raney was raised an or plan, but early in life developed an ambition that has been the inn polling force in aiding him to ov- ercome many obstacles. He educat- ed himself by his own efforts and after a hard struggle fitted him. self for teaching. He has come up through those obstacles that bring out the best that Is in a man, and it may truthfully be said of him that at no time or place has he ever failed to measure up to the highest standard of good citizen ship; nor has he ever been unfaith. full of any trust reposed in him, either as man or as a public off, cial.
 He Is we'll known, both personal ly and by reputation to large number of people in this county. His record in the senate for four years was the best, being always on the side of the people for the moral interests of the state. He was es. pecially active in behalf of the ap- propriation for the State Agricul- tural Schools and was a friend to the schools in the senate.
 MT. Raney is a native of Inde- pendence County, and one of the most popular men in the county. He is young man, being only about 57 years of age, but he has been honored by his people more than once. He represented Inde- pendence County in the lower house of the general assembly in the ses- sion of 1905. The records show that he never missed a day during that entire session and his devotion to duty was not only shown by that, but by the fact thath was the loyal champion of every bill that was favored by the moral element of the state.
 After his most efficient service as a member of the house, MT. Raney was elected to the senate from the sixth dristrict and served two ses. Sions as senator. His work in that branch of the legislature is too re- cent to nave been forgotten. Duf- ing his term he was the foe to every scheme and trick that was suggest ed to thwart the interests of the

Advertisement Proposition to Conner by Walter D. Seed

'I have referred to only few samples of the glaring misstatements made by Governor Conner in his advertised Gull man speech. This speech abounds with statements that are either untrue, half true, or that contain truths so stated as to make false impressions. I wish to here repeat openly to Governor Conner a prop osition that l have previously expressed
 my willingness to make If he will al- low me to select from speeches or com
 munications inserted in the newspapers as his paid campaign advertisements 10 of his statements, and if he can prove
 the accuracy of two of them, will with draw from the race, provided he will agree in advance to withdraw should he
 be unable to make such proof.
 'ln his Tuscaloosa speech Governor
 Conner said we did nothing except what
 the people asked us to do. if we made
 mistakes. you made mistakes
 Did the people ask that the laws be so changed IS that quarter of mill lion dollars quarterly, the proceeds aris- ing from the convict fund, be withheld from the treasury and left in the hands
 of his son-in-law with no bond what ever?
 But for this bill, convict funds would
 have been monthly paid in the treasury where they would have been protected by
 bonds of nearly two million dollars worth
 more than their face value in addition to the state treasurer's bond of S150,O0O Had it been necessary to move the
 funds from the state Urea sury and in
 using reasonable good judgment, they
 had been lost. there would have been some excuse for withholding the funds from the treasury, or for making some change No such condition existed. "Governor Conner is due the state an explanation of why a bill was passed
 which permitted his son-in-law to with hold the said funds from the treasury We all know that but for the pa assage of said bill the Lacy dedication could never
 have occurred. Governor Conner says no money was Laceyized during his admin istration. He knows full we'll that this
 S90,000 could never have been Laceyized
 by Theodore Lacey unless it had first
 been Comerized during the Conner ad- minstration.
 Until Governor Conner can give req sonable excuse for such action, is he not morally if not legally bound to the peo-
 pie of Alabama for the amount of the
 Lacey defalcation? If he can build a
 cotton mill capitalized at 5000 1t would appear that he goud pay the state this amount if he woId. Should he not with out further delay proceed to reimburse
 the state for this unexpainable condition which prompted the Lacey defalcation?''- Walter D. Seed.

JONAS PETITION GRANTED
 BY THE SUPREME COURT

Montgomery, April 14-(Special.-Th supreme court today granted the peti- ton of Mrs Rebecca Jonas and other creditors of the Leinkauf Banking com pany of Mobile for a writ of mandamus requiring Judge Stafford Berney of the Mobile law and equity court to vacate an order for bond to supercede a previ- ous decree of that court by which Harry B. Pake was relieved of the trusteeship Of the bankrupt company.
 In granting the petition for mandamus Associate Justice Lucien D. Gardner. who wrote the opinion in the case. de- clared that the case was a novel one, in asmuch as there was some question as to whether or not the cause was appeal able
 The principal question at issue and on which the court disagreed, was whether or not Pake, who had been appointed to administer the affairs of the bankrupt banking company. could prosecute an ap- peal to the supreme court after having been relieved of the trusteeship of the company and another appointed in his place.
 Pake was appointed administrator of the Leinkauf Banking company in March 1911, his bond being fixed by the law and equity court. Later the court, on petition of various creditors of the bankrupt com
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-04-15

pany, issued a decree removing Pake az administrator and appointing Harry A Horst as trustee.
 Pake then filed a petition in the law and equity court for an appeal to the supreme court, and pending the appeal the lower court allowed Pake to make q supercedeas bond in the sum of $50, 900. Following this decree of the court the creditors of the company filed an ap- plicatfon in the supreme court for a writ of mandamus requiring Judge Berney to yacate his order allowing Pake to make a supercedeas bond.
 In addition to the application for q writ of mandamus the case was pre- sented to the court in two other ap- peals, one by Pake and the other by Pillans, Hanaw & Pillans.
 All of the judges of the court con- cured in Judge Gardners opinion with the exception of Justices Mayfield and Sayre, who dissented.
 The supreme court affirmed the judg- ment of the Hale law and equity court in sentencing Ross Ducett, negro, to 50 years Imprisonment for the murder of Lillian Sims. Ducett was found gull ty of murder in the second degree.
 The court also affirmed the Talla- poosa circuit court in granting J. H. Hfnginson judgment for s250O against the Central of Georgia Railroad com pany for injuries received. Hingson was caught between a passenger coach and a shed and was badly mangled The suit was for s10,00O.
