To the Editor Of the Star Herald:
II you will give me little space,
| will write a few lines about my
trip TO the Odd Fellows Orphan
Home as / promised / would do IN
my other letter.
On November goth Bro. Bat7
took me TO Batesville to the Annual
Conference. This was indeed a
treat TO me for it was the first time
that ! ever had the privilege of
hearTnga Bishop talk, or even see
ing one. So after we had listened
TO some nice talks made by some of
the noted speakers, we weLt 10
the Orphans Home. Here ! met
as fine a crowd of girls and boys as
! ever saw. There are two hundred
Of them, we took dinner with them.
Well / never did eat with such a
crowd of children in my life. |
ate with the girls and Bro. Baty
waited till the second table and ate
with the boys. Alter dinner / was
conducted over the home by the
.O'Kelley girls, from Fulton Co.
Ark. After we had spent an hour
or two at the home, we went
10 the Commercial printing Office.
This was an interesting sight to me.
There are but few little girls that
live in the country that gets to visit
such places. The press was run.
nIng and it was a sight indeed to
see the sheets OF paper takeE by
the machine and carried through
and dropped on the other side so
smooth and nice, when one would
think from the start they made that
they would be torn all to pieces.
Well there are so many things l
would like TO tell but will not now,
but will say that | am so thankful
to the dear editor for printing my
other letter. Your little friend,
Ruth Weatherford.

Odd Fellows Lose Suit

"This Gong law does not under.
take TO limit the number of peti.
tions which may be filed, nor does
il undertake to provide when they
shall be dled, and we think the
proper Interpretation of the por.
tion of section two is that the petit
ton may be fled at any time, aud
that an adverse action upon pc,
tition does not preclude the subse.
quent consideration of another pc
tItion."
The Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows
Of Arkansas lost $40, 900 through a
dicision handed down by the su.
preme court today IN which Mrs.
Mai Briant of Harrisburg obtained
a judgment for that amount against
Louis Josephs OF Texarkana, execu-
tor of the estate of A. w. Shirey,
deceased, a merchant of MInturn.
A verdict for $4,000 awarded by
the Lawrence county Circuit Court
was affirmed.
Mrs. Briant, a niece of Shirey,
secured evidence to u,e in a divorce
case against Mrs. Shirey. The
testimony throughout the case
showed that Mrs. Brlant had full
filled her contract, which stipulated
that she was to receive $4,000 for
procuring the information.
However, before Mrs. Briaut re.
ceived her remuneration, Shirey
was mysteriouslY shot. HIS will
left the bulk of the estate, which
was large, to the Grand Lodge Of
odd Fellows of Arkansas. There
was no provision for the payment
of the amount said to be due Mrs.
Briant.
Mrs. Briant sued for $40, 900 and
was awarded that amount. The
case was appealed to the supreme
court, but was sent back for retrial
because of errors. A second circuit
court trial resulted IN another YER
dict for Mrs. Briant, and it was
tins verdict which che supreme court
affirmed today.

day night adopted the Simmons-Nor-
ris amendment qualifying the canal
tolls exemption repeal by a vote of 80
to "a. This was the first test vote
after six weeks of debate on the re-
peal bill. Even the most optimistic
senators who favored repeal had not
expected the amendment to carry by
so large large a majority. 1t is not
believed, however, that the bill itself
can be put through by so great a
margin.
Nine Democratic senators-Ashurst

dell, Reed, Shields, Walsh and Will
liams-voted against the amendment.
Several of these, however, are expect
ed to vote for the repeal bill, while
| several Republicans who supported the
amendment are expected to line up
against the bill
The Simmons Norris amendment
provides that the passage of the re-
peal shall not be construed or held as
waiver or REIMBURSEMENT of any
rights the United States may have un-
der the Hay-Pauncefote treaty with
Great Britain.
The amendment adopted reads as
follows:
Provided, That the passage of this
act shall not be construed or held as
waiver or REIMBURSEMENT of any
right the United States may have un-
der the treaty with Great Britain rati-
fled the 21st of February, 1902, or the
treaty with the Republic of Panama
ratified February 26, 1904, or other
wise to discriminate in favor of it's
vessels, by exempting the vessels of
the United States or its citizens from
the payment of tolls for passage
through said canal, or as in any way
waving, impairing or affecting any
right of the United States under said
treaty or otherwise with the respect
to the sovereignty over or the owner
ship, control and management of said
canal and the regulation of the condi-
tions or charges of traffic through the
same"
The Sutherland amendment pro-
posed as a substitute for the Sim
monsNorris amendment, was defeat
ed, 40 to 49, 1t declared that nothing
in the repeal act should be considered
as denying or abridging the right of
the United States to discriminate in
favor of American shipping, and added
that, on the contrary, such right is
re-asscrted.
