 The American Telephone and Tele- graph Company is the parent com- pany of the Bell telephone system which operates or connects with eight and half million telephone stations, throughout the United States.
 It has about 60,OOO stockholders and 160,000 employees. It's issued capital stock is nearly $35O,000, 900 and is quoted on the stock exchanges at about SIS per share.
 The company makes it plain that no employee is under any obligation to buy any stock, but it is believed that a considerable number of employees will take advantage of this opportun- ity to save little money every month and invest it in the business.

Hendrix College owned $10,000 stock in the bank, which had been donated to it by the late Capt. w. w. Martin, and sev- eral others in Conway owned smaller amounts. Liquida:ing Agent H. M.

CINN|NCS CONTINUE TO SHOW DECREASE 22,Ol8 BALES TO DEC. l3 PRACTICALLY THIS AMOUNT.
 HOWEVER, ALREADY RE-
 CEIVED AT CONWAY.

That the cotton crop of 1914 in this county will be about 10 per cent short of last years record d-breaking yield was indicated by a report received | from the United States census bureau this morning, showing that 22,018 bales had been ginned in Faulkner county up to December 13, as com year ago. While 2,479 bales were ginned last season between December l13 and the end of the cotton year, it is not believed that more than 1000 bales, and possibly not over 800 re- mained to be ginned on December 13, 1914, and the total will therefore be somewhat less than 23,000 bales. During the period from December 1 to December 13 'this year only 475 bales were ginned, as against 1,157 during the same period a year ago.
 In spite of the holding movement, practically as many bales have been brought to Conway up to today as had been ginned in the county up to De- cember 13. The receipts of the Con- way Compress Company up to this morning, which are composed this year entirely of local cotton, were 18,- l052 In addition to this, between B. 200 and $500 bales are stored in the yards of local buyers, making the total local receipts to date around 21 300. bales
 Of this amount only 11,245 bales, or slightly more than half the re- ceipts, have been shipped out of Con- way. The stock at the compress to- day is 6,8O7 bales and the total on hand in Conway is over 10000 bales. A large proportion of this big stock has never been sold by the growers. Over 500 bales had been stored in the compress by farmers direct, and it is estimated that total of more than 5000 bales is being held at Conway by farmers of the county.
 Manager w. J. Murrell of the com press said today that he estimated the total compress receipts here will reach at least 23,000 and will possibly run to 25,000 bales.
 The price of cotton futures has been advancing during the past two weeks, although it is said there IS little active demand for spots. Seven cents is being paid here for middling. The receipts for three weeks have been very light, due to unfavorable weather and bad roads.
 | Cottonseed remains steady at $2l per ton, which has been the prevail ing price for a month Very few loads, however, are being marketed here.

TAKE INSTITUTIONS
 OUT OF POLITICS BILL BEING PREPARED
| PLANNED TO ALLOW COVER
 NORS TO APPOINT BUT TWO MEMBERS DURING TERM.

Little Rock, Dec. 30.-The commit tee of prominent Little Rock citizens which is endeavoring to formulate a bill for presentation to the general as- sembly, correcting the evils in the system of appointing members of the State Board of Charities, expects soon to be ready with it's report.
 The plan of taking the appoint ments entirely out of the hands of the governor, was suggested, but re- jected by the committee. It was sug- gested to leave the selection of the board of charities to the chief justice of the supreme court, the federal judge at Little Rock, and one other to be selected from the ministers of Lit tie Rock, but such bill would never get through the legislature, and it was given no further consideration.
 The plan upon which the committee is working will be to have not more than two members appointed during any one term of governor which will always retain majority of the old board, which will be familiar with the workings of the state institutions, and prevent the board from making the mistakes which are attributable to the new boards, unfamiliar with the management of the institutions. The committee will probably embody in the bill a section requiring three of the board members to be physi- clans, and these to be selected from a list of 12 prepared and approved by the Arkansas Medical Society.

THREE COUPLES ASK
 COURT FOR DIVORCE
ONE HUSBAND ALLEGES WIFE DEMANDED LUXURIES BE-
 YOND HIS MEANS.

Three suits for divorce were filed in the Faulkner chancery court, Geo. w. Clark of Conway being the attor- ney for the plaintiff in each case Joseph Harvey seeks a divorce from his wife, Viola Harvey, to whom he was married in Faulkner county July 8, 1907, alleging that the defendant was continually demanding of him luXuries which he was unable to pro- vide. Desertion since March ', 1914 and other grounds are also alleged.
 Lillian Stead files suit for divorce from Cleveland Stead. The complaint states thescouple were married in April, 1914, and lived together until August, 1914. The plaintiff alleges abusive treatment and says defendant falsely charged her with infidelity She asks custody of their child and a one-third portion of the property of the defendant, which she values at $2, 300.
 The third divorce suit is that of Ethel Dougan against Oscar Dougan The plaintiff alleges they were mar ried November 15, 1899, and that the defendant deserted her on December 21, 1908. During the six years since then the plaintiff states she and her two children have been needy and des- titute and that she is now unable to work and her children cannot attend Il for clothing and books. The plaintiff alleges the defendant has 120 acres of land valued at $3,000 and personal property worth $500. Pending a final hearing of the case she asks that the defendant be required to pay tempo rary alimony, court costs and attor- ney's fee and on final hearing that she be granted one-third of defend ants property and an additional amount for the maintenance of theii two children.

BELL co. WILL SELL
 STOCK TO FMPLOYES
EASY TERMS OF PAYMENT AND LOW PRICE OFFERED AS
 INDUCEMENTS.

The American Telephone and Tele- graph Company announces that ar, engagements have been made by which employees of the Bell system who have been two years or more in the service and who so desire may pur- chase stock of the company for $110 per share on easy terms of payment. No employee can purchase more than one share for each $500 of an- nual wages he receives nor more than 10 shares whatever his wages.
 The terms of payment will be $200 per share per month, beginning with
 March, 1915, and the quarterly divi- dends paid on the stick will go to- wards paying for it, after deducting interest at four per cent per annum on the unpaid balances.
 The American Company has paid eight per cent dividends for seven years, and it is calculated that divi- dends at this rate and the $200 per share per month payments by em- ployees will pay for the stock in full by November, 1918. Any employee who so desires can, after March l, 1917, but not before, pay in the bal ance on his stock and receive his stock certificate.
 Should an employee leave the ser
 vice or die before his stock is fully

JUDGES REJECT LANKFORD'S CODE NO REVISION IS ASKED RECOMMENDATION TO REVISE CRIMINAL LAWS IS VOTED
 DOWN.

Little Rock, Dec BOA motion to request the next legislature to insti- ute commission to study the crimi- nal code of the state and to investi- gate the penal institutions with a view toward making* recommendation for changes in them to the 1917 legisla- ture, was introduced at the first ses- sion of the Circuit and Chancery Judges Association yesterday after noon by Eugene Lankford, former judge of the circuit court of the Six teenth district. After discussion that lasted more than an hour the mo- tion was defeated by a majority or two to one.
 In introducing the motion Judge Lankford made vigorous attack upon the present methods of treating criminals. He referred to the old ideas regarding punishment of crime and mentioned the ancient custom of hanging for trivial offenses and later the prison ships and dungeons in which prisoners were placed. The seSSlon convened at Z clock. The constitution, prepared by con- mittee appointed at the time the or ganization was formed last July, was adopted unanimously.
 Judge Robert J. Lea of the First division, Pulaski county circuit court, was elected president; Judge J. T. Cowlings of Ashdown was elected vice president, and Chancellor J. F. Hen derson of Hot Springs was elected secretary-treasurer.
 The committee on legislation ap- pointed consisted of Chancellor Jor- dan Sellers of Morrilton, Judge J. T. Cowlings, Judge Guy Fulk of the Sec ond division Pulaski circuit court, and Judge Thomas c. Trimble of the Sev- enteenth judicial circuit

SAFEBLOWING PLANS
HATCHED IN PRISON
Nassau County Jail Is Base of Opera,
tions for Many Daring
Robberies.

MINEOLA, y. Z, March 3.-The grand
jury today investigated the alleged con-
fession OF a prisoner. who said that for
ten years he has been using the Nassau
county fail as the base OF safe blowing
expeditions According to this prisoner,
he has taken part in most of the recent
postoffice robberies in Long Island and
even pushed his marauding trips into New
Jersey and northern suburbs OF New York
city.
These charges were brought 10 the at
tention OF the county prosecutor by the
United States district attorney, because
the prisoner involved is in the local jail
under sentence by thu federal court for
msue OF the mails.
The scandal involves also several wom-
en- prisoners, who alege they were abused
by the keepers and by some OF the more
favored prisoners who had money The
prisoner who told the story was one Of
those named by the women and his al
legged confession was made after the au-
thorities began to investigate the women's
stories,
AS a result Of the investigation the
former warden OF the Jail and four for
mer keepers were indicted today by the
grand jury.
The indictments, which charge a seri-
Gus crime, were voted after the Jurors
had heard the stories OF three women
prisoners and other witnesses regarding
the treatment OF women inmates.
District Attorney Smith said he ex-
pected to bring more witnesses before the
gra nd jury tomorrow and ask for addI-
tional indictments.
