Children's Day Popular.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Feb. 26.-Gov- ernor G. w. Hays is writing to the governors of other states, asking them to assist in the movement started by him. to make the annual children's day of Arkansas a national event. Governor Hays is calling atten- tion to the other chief execu- tives to the success of the event in Arkansas last December, and asks them to give the proposi- tion' a trial, feeling sure that all governors will be pleased with the results.

Large Estate Involved.
Special to Independent.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Feb. 27.-Andrew J. Hunter of Little Rock says that only 400 acres of the large estate in many counties, left by IS. F. Field, and not 300,0O0, is involved in the case which he has appealed to the Arkansas su- preme court from the Pulaski chancery court. This land was purchased by Mir. Hr1ter and sold to w. A. Field in 1911.
 Tt is true", says MT. Hunter, "that Judge Martineau held that l had bought the land in ques- tion as a trustee, and from this decision l appealed, and l am quite sure the higher court will reverse the decree of the lower court. The land was purchas- ed by me at a foreclosure sale, February 6, 1899, in my own name, with my own money, bor- rowed from a bank on my own note, secured by a mortgage on my own property, and which l have held as my own ever since. The land had belonged to s. F. Field, who in his lifetime had given mortgage to B. J. Brown who foreclosed same and had the land sold. The heirs were unable to protect the property, and as they had other lands which were liable under the judgment, I de- cided to bid up the property to protect the other lands from ex- ecution and sacrifice, my wife having an interest in them. This 1T did and the land sued for, which was with other property sued for covered by the mort gage, was sold to me, and a deed for same issued vesting the title in me forever, the sale being ap- proved by the court of record" :"

AROUSED OVER

Special to Independent,
 Little Rock, Feb. 28.-lhe cit izens of Little Rock are up in arms over the proposed rate in- crease by the Little Rock branch of the Southwestern Telegraph and Telephone Company, an- nounced to become effective April 1.
 A largely attended conference was held Friday afternoon at the office of Mayor Taylor to dis cuss the situation, and enter a vigorous protest against the pro- posed increased. There were committees present from the three cities of Little Rock, Pu- |laski Heights and Argenta, the Chamber of Commerce, the Board of Trade, and the City Federation of Women's Clubs. Several officials of the telephone company were also present.
 General Manager J. H. Hiss of the company addressed the meeting, in support of the pro- posed increase, and for an hour was a target for a volley of questions propounded by city of ficials and citizens.
 MT. Hiss explained that the raise is not so great as permis- sible under the franchise passed in 1904, and that all the compa- ny seeks is a reasonable return on their investment. He esti- mates that the increase will pro- vide $15,O0O a year more reve- nue, and this is to be expended in raising the salaries of the op- orators. He said the company had expended $207,000 in bet terments in the city in the last eighteen months, and that plans for the expenditure of $60,000 more in the near future. They have a total of one and a half millions invested in the city, and the net earnings under present conditions are about 2 per cent. During the last year the compa- ny has practically rebuilt about twenty plants in the state.
 After discussion and cross ex- animation lasting for more than two hours, a subcommittee on investigation was appointed, consisting of the mayors of: the three cities, one member from each council, State Labor Com missioner J. c. Clary, and one representative each of the Chamber of Commerce. the Board of Trade, and the City of Federation of Women's Clubs This committee held it's first conference Friday night with representatives of the telephone company, in an effort to get to- gether on terms that will bt mutually acceptable, and keel the matter out of the courts Ii
