CAN'T PAY OFFICERS WHO HOLD ELECTION STATE RULE FORBIDS IT ASSESSMENTS LEVIED BY COUNTY COMMITTEE ARE
 OVERRULED.

On account of the fact that the fees levied upon state candidates by the Faulkner County Democratic Central Committee have been found to be in violation of the rules of the State Democratic convention and that if they were collected the entire vote of the county would be thrown out, these fees have been abandoned and there will be no funds with which to pay the judges and clerks who serve at the state primary election March 25.
 The county committee at it's meet ing some weeks ago adopted resolu- tion that the officers of the primary election should be paid $1 each for their services and appointed a sub committee of Chairman A. L. Nichols. Secretary George Shaw and Treasur- CT Frank Farris to assess the candi- dates a sufficient sum to cover this expense. The state candidates were assessed from $10 to $15 each, but Secretary w. G. Hutton of the State Democratic Central Committee has called attention to the rule of the

BOY TRAMPS FAM LIAR
 WITH REFORM SChOols
LADS SENT UP FROM CONWAY HAD ALREADY SERVED 23
 MONTHS THERE.

The two boy tramps who, under the names of Frank and Jack Howard, were sentenced to the reform school by County Judge Holt, were found to be no strangers to that institution when taken there yesterday by Sheriff J. s. Johnson and Marshal w. E. Cli. bourn. The boys had never admitted being in any previous trouble, and it
 was quite a surprise to the two off, cers when they arrived at the reform school that the boys were greeted by name by 40 or 50 of the other in- mates. It was then learned that the, real name of the boys is Jones and that they were convicted in Independ- ence county on the charge of killing their own father, a crime said to have been committed at Newark. Each served a sentence of 23 months, at the expiration of which they were releas- ed some time last year.

 The Faulkner subcommittee were therefore compelled to recede from their position, but Secretary Shaw and Treasurer Farris said today the amounts collected from the district candidates will be sufficient, with the small balance already in the treasury, to cover the cost of printing the bal lots and furnishing the supplies and also to pay $l to the committeeman or election judge who brings the re- turns to Conway.
 State Secretary Hutton's letter to Treasurer Farris, which is selfex- planatory, follows:
