WARD ESTATE IS VALUED AT SI8,OOO
HUSBAND FILES PETITION
COADMINISTRATOR IS ASKED SAYS TWO MORTGAGEES
 HOLD CLAIMS.

Little Rock, Oct. 1.-Sibley L. Ward, whose wife, Mrs. Ruth Young Ward, met tragic death few weeks ago when an automobile in which she was riding with her husband plunged down an embankment on the road leading toward Little Rock from the Country Club, west of the city, yes terday filed petition in the Pulaski probate court for the appointment of a coadministrator of the estate of his son, Sibley L. Ward. Jr. The estate, which said court attached yesterday does not include real estate, was val ued in the petition at $18,000. The petition was set for hearing by Coun- ty Judge Joe Asher for 10 a. m. Oc- tober II.
 MT. Ward, without waiving his right to be appointed sole admins trator of the estate, asks that either the Southen Trust Company or the Lasker- Morris Bank and Trust Con- pany be appointed by the court. The petition states that the request is made because there are two mort gages with claims against the estate; other creditors; the little son; and the right of the husband, which should be safeguarded and that the appoint ment of a responsible trust company as co-administrator would be to the best interest of all concerned.
 Mr. Ward expresses a preference for the appointment of the Southern Trust Company on the ground that this company now holds mortgage for $6,000 on the estate and because Mrs. Ward selected it to transact her business. If for any reason it is not agreeable to the court to appoint the Southern Trust Company as CO., administrator, MT. Ward requests that the Lasker-M Morris Bank and Trust Company be appointed. The officers of this company, the petition states, are familiar with the condi- tions of the estate and in a position to successfully assist in the admins tration of it.

ENROLMENT IS
 254 AT NORMAL
From Tuesdays Daily

From Tuesdays Daily
 More than fulfilling President Doyne's prediction of an enrolment of 250 at the Arkansas State Normal School during the first month of the session, the number of students reg istered up to this morning, beginning the third week, reached 254. Twenty five new students have entered al- ready this week. The attendance is running far ahead of last year and if the proportionate increase is main tained the enrolment for the session will doubtless reach 400. Already the facilities of the institution are being taxed to accommodate the students, and the need of additional buildings is being keenly felt.

DEFERRED STA1E
 PRIMARY UNLIKELY COMMITTEE MEETS SOON GOVERNOR HAYS STILL CONSID-
 BRED CERTAIN TO BE CANDIDATE.

Little Rock, Oct. 4.-A meeting of the Democratic state central commit tee will shortly be called to arrange details for the primary to be held next March and to select the place for the state convention to be held next June. The movement to have the date of the primary changed to July or August of next year did not receive much encour- agement from members of the commit tee. The advocates of the change made by the last legislature in con- solidating state with national elections from September to November.
 The committee, when it meets, will very likely make several changes in the rules governing the primaries, but it is not believed that any of the changes will be important, as that matter was thoroughly thrashed out by the state committee at it's meeting held last year. Judge A. J. Walls IS chairman of the committee and Jack fMaloney of Little Rock secretary.
 The candidate for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination displayed much activity during the past week ir directing arrangements for the com ing campaign and completing theil organizations. A number of promi nent politicians visited Gov. Hays during the week, discussing his imme diate future political course. All left the city we'll satisfied that the govern or would seek another term and an nounce his candidacy within the nex' few days.

VETO TEST CASE
 SET FOR MONDAY

Little Rock, Sept. 3O.-The case of Page vs. Dickinson, to test the vali- ditv of the Governors veto of ap- propriation items by the last legisla- ture, is to be submitted to the su- preme court next Monday. The fate of several appropriations depends upon this case. It is contended by Commissioner Page that the manner in which the veto was recorded does not meet the provisions of the law, and that it should therefore be de- clared void and of no effect.

Little Rock, Sept. 30.-Another county seat removal election is to be held in Perry county in a short time. Bigelow and Perryville are the con- testants. An effort has been made to induce the state board of election commissioners to take a hand in the selection of judges. Delegations have come to Little Rock for that purpose, but the state board has refused to have anything to do with the contro- versy. They were advised by Attor- ney General Davis that the state board has nothing to do with the selection of judges and clerks, which is wholly within the province of the county commissioners
