Walter Predovich. an interpreter, and
said that Mrs. Saymovich was going
to kill him. The interpreter asked
the young man to sober up and not en-
tertain any such foolish notion.

in his former rooming house. There
was heated argument of short dur

were heard.

SMALL BOY
 IS RUN OVER
By Car Near McLain Hotel But Is Not Thought To Be
 Seriously Injured.

The most serious automobile accident to occur in this city happened about 12:45 o'clock Wednesday fternoon, when Miss Marie Haffner, driving her ia. ther's car, lost control of the machine and ran over Vernon Woodruff, aged about 13 years and son of D. A. Woodruff, em. ployed at Wolff-Goldman's ware. house.
 Miss Hafner, driving a Ford touring car was coming west on Second street and in turning south on Hazel in order to avoid :. wagon lost control and headed III upon the sidewalk in front of the City Drug Company.
 The machine struck the boy just as he started to step upon the curb and his body was thrown down against the curb, which took the weight of the wheel from him and doubtless prevented more serious injuries.
 w. R. Whitten and R. B. Hooker were eye witnesses to the accident but unable to reach the boy in time, so quickly did it all happen.
 The boys right leg and knee were injured and his back bruis- ed, but the injuries, which were at once dressed by Dr. o. E. Jones are not thought to be se- rious.
 Both right wheels ran upon the concrete sidewalk, before the machine could be swung into the street and the young lady driver of course regrets the accident more than any one else.
 The city council has under consideration a speed ordinance, which is needed, but ineXperi- enced drivers are a source of greater danger than speed fiends, for when danger does ar rive, they are not able to act quickly and effectively to pre- vent serious accident.

Schumann- Heink Opens Music
 Festival.

The annual music festival, given by music lovers of Little Rock, which has heretofore been a financial failure, was opened Tuesday evening in a most aus picious manner by the worlds greatest contarlto singer, Mad anne Schumann-Heink.
 The immense auditorium was capacity crowded, extra chairs being provided. The entrance to the building and usher force were so insufficient for the oc- casion that one had to stand in line for over half an hour before securing admittance, the walk way being jammed from the en- trance for about 150 feet back to Markham street.
 But the treat in store was worth the wait and confusion. The noted contralto is very gracious parsonage, well along in life, but whose voice is beauti- ful, vigorous, powerful, clear and madvelous, equally effective in 
 the wild daring of the Erl King as in the tender Lullaby" and German folk songs, that made it hard to tell in which class of music she excelled the most.
 The audience was thoroughly within her charm and applause was long after every number, Madame Schumann-Heink was presented with American Beau ties after one number and a large branch of dogwood tree in blossoms after another and her graceful acceptance of each was in evidence of her strong per sonality.
