very plainly illustrated. The absolute separation of the church and state is one of the greatest calls, Dr. Brough stated. In speaking of the prohibition question, the distinguished visitor said that he believed the best and only way to rid the country of that evil is for congress to pass law preventing the manufacture or sale of intoxicants within her borders.
 The large audience accorded Dr. Brough the closest attention and were we'll pleased with the address.

BELIEVED SUICIDE
 WAS A. H. HAMMETT SAN FRANCISCO REPORT
WAS DEFAULTING TREASURER OF CROSS COUNTY-PARA-
 MOUR ALSO SUICIDES.

Memphis, Jan. 19.-"A. H. Woods, , the Tennessee judge who with a woman committed suicide in San Francisco Friday, was A. H. Woods Hammett of Wynne, Ark, former treasurer of Cross county, who de- faulted in October, 1912, leaving a shortage of some $4000O in the Cross county funds
 Positive identication of Hammett developed Sunday when San Francis co authorities found papers in his apartments revealing his identity.
 Mrs. James Hammett of Earl, Ark, was notified and instructed the San Francisco authorities to forward the body to Wynne, Ark, the former home of the deceased.
 The identity of the woman, who, the San Francisco authorities state, is Hammetts niece, is not yet positively known According to friends of Ham, melt, he had no niece, and being past 60 years of age was hardly the man to be involved with a woman.
 Later advices from San Francisco give the name of the niece as Mrs. Blanch Watts A Miss Watts, whose father lives a few miles from Wynne, left Wynne at the same time that Hammett did. She and Hammett are said to have been very often together prior to their departure.
 Dispatches from San Francisco state that Hammett killed himself as the result of recent financial losses. The woman, it is said, upbraided Hammett for threatening suicide and ended her own life when Hammett ended his.
 Friends of Hammett declare that his mind was unbalanced and thus ac- count for his self-destruction. Clyde Going, his attorney, and for 12 years his close personal friend, stated last night that Hammett was bounded by his political enemies as no other man had ever been persecuted. MT Going stated that political hatred resulted in Hammetts undoing and his defal- cation, and declared that he believed the unjust manner with which Ham, melt had been treated unbalanced his mind and caused his suicide Mir. Co., ing gave the discrepancy in his ac- counts as some $15,000.
 Others from eastern Arkansas in town yesterday stated that Hammett' S books showed his shortage to be at least $40,000 and that he credited him. self with fees to which he was not en- tied that would make his defalcation far greater than S40,000. He left just before the time arrived for him to set tie with his successor.
 The consensus of opinion in Cross county was that no strenuous effort was being made to follow or arrest Hammett. Those who opposed him seemed to be glad that he was away
 He was one of the most devout Jeff Davis men in the state. Hammett was known as desperate man, and it was his custom to attend the Davis speak ings in places where trouble was con sidered possible. At such times he was usually accompanied by 10 or a dozen men from Wynne, all supposed to be able to yoeman's service in any kind of TOW. These corps of guards were moved at Hammett's expense.
 Before becoming county treasurer of Cross county in 1908, Hammett had been county judge sheriff and polite al leader of one of the two Demo- cratic factions in that county.
 Hammett's wife died shortly before he left Cross county.

8 WEEKS TERM OF
 SUMMER NORMAL SESSION IS HEIGHTENED PROVISION MADE FOR SUMMER STUDENTS SEEKING NOR
 NAL DIPLOMA.

Two weeks will be added to tn, usual six weeks summer term of the Arkansas State Normal this year making an eight weeks session, ac. Icordlng to an announcement issued to. day by President J. J. Doyne. By means of the heightened term. it will now be possible for students to dc the work required for Normal diplo- ma at the summer session.
 President Doyne stated today that an effort will be made to present the advantages of the summer term to as many prospective students as possible. He believes the additional facilities next summer, when the students will have the use of the new model prac- tlce school and the young ladies of the new dormitory, together with the heightened term, will attract an un- usually large attendance
 The announcement of the summer term issued today follows: The summer term of the State Nor nal School begins June 8 and con tnues for eight weeks. Those who are unable to attend the regular ses- sions of the Normal School will thus be allowed the opportunity, by at tendance on the summer terms. to com plete the work required for the regu- lar Normal School diploma. It will also provide for more extended work than could be done in the shorter term of six weeks.
 The course of study has been ar ranged with especial reference to four classes of students:
 1. Those who may desire to take the regular course and receive credits for the work done, having in mind the completion of the course and receiv- ing diploma when this has beei done
 ?. Those who may desire to review either grammar or high school sub jects, with a view to standing exami- nations for either county, profession al or state licenses.
 3. Those who wish to take special work in science, agriculture, drawing or home economies.
 1, Those who may wish to give special attention to primary methods For such persons the training school will be in session with about 40 chil- dren, 10 for each of the first four grades, in daily attendance and doing the regular work of the primary school. Our critic teacher will have supervision of this part of the sum- mer school. Primary teachers will find the work done very helpful in character, as they will be allowed to do daily work in observation and in practice teaching, under competent direction. All phases of primary work will be considered, and those studying the subject will be expect ed to take careful notes from day to day.
 The expenses for the term will be an enrolment fee of $10 and board for the entire session, $25 to $30 As the work will be conducted by the top ical method, the expense for books will be small. Students are expected to bring their textbooks with them, and will be allowed to use them wher- ever possible.
 Catalogs and further information will be furnished on request by
 Yours very truly,
 J, J. DOYNE, President.
