SLOW PROGRESS IN
CARPENTER TRIAL
Only Three Witnesses Had Been Ex-
amined by the State at Noon
Today-No New Evidence.

(From "Wednesday Daily Press. }
Interest in the Carpenter murder
case in apparently much less keen
at this term of court than at the
trial held last December when the
story Of the shocking murder of
Carpenters wife and mother-in-law
was for the first time given in Par
agould. At the December trial
standing room was at premium.
During the progress of the case at
this term of the court, the room is
not more than two-thirds full of
spectators, a goodly portion of
whom are ladies.
The testimony varies only slight
ly from the evidence given at for
mer trials and practically nothing
new has developed in the case.
Yesterday afternoon the state in
troduced Humphrey Lee, negro,
who lived in front of the Carpen
ter home. Lee skipped the state
before the trial held in December
and went to Kansas City The pros
ecuting attorney located the negro
in the meantime and had him re-
turned to Arkansas for the trial.
Lee was expected to furnish some
damaging testimony against the de-
fendant, but when he was placed
upon the stand he failed to swear
to anything that materially injured
the cause of the defendant The
state expected Lee to testify he had
overheard a conversation between
Mrs. Carpenter and Mrs. Davis re-
garding money matters, but when
directly questioned he denied he
had heard such a conversation. His
testimony was apparently surprise
to the state When he left the
stand attorneys for the defense
had him summoned as a witness for
the defense and announced they ex-
pected to use him during the trial.
All this mornings session and
thirty minutes Of the afternoon
session We're consumed by the testi-
mony of Sam Mauldin, sheriff of
Mississippi county and deputy
sheriff at the time of the tragedy
in January 1912 He testified as
to the condition of the bodies of the
two women, the location of the
house, barn, yard, lay of the sur
rounding ground, blood spots in the
room occupied by Carpenter and his
wife. During his direct testimony
he said the footprint in the snow
under the window might have been
his own, made soon after he reach
ed the place, but later on cross ex-
animation, admitted it might have
been made by some one else. His
testimony was substantially the
same as given at the former trial,
varying in minor details but not in
any material point.
Prosecuting Attorney Huddleston
said this afternoon the trial Of the
case might go over into next week
Both sides are proceeding cautiously
and each witness is being subjected
to a most rigid examination.
The grand jury today returned
five more bills of Indictment, MAX
ing eleven in all. It's work will
probably be completed some time to-
morrow and an adjournment taken.

HAYS Dep. ORES
ACT OF BANKERS
Declares, However, That Their Dis
inclination to Finance Investiga-
ton VIII Not Stop It.

Little Rock, May Gov Hays
issued the following statement last
night 81 notice through the press
that, in the meeting OF the execu-
tive council of the bankers associa-
ton, majority Of the members
present declined to make recon-
mendations to their association that
the investigating committee be fl
nanced by the banks TO enable them
to proceed with their work of in
vestigation.
Il regret this very much. I had
hoped that this arrangement could
be made. This investigation must
go on, and l am willing and ready
to render all Of the assistance with
in my power personally, officially
and financially to carry same on to
completion. If graft and misman-
agement exist in the state, l am de-
termined that the people shall know
it.
Il know that the good citizenship
of the state viii rally to this cause
and that in this way we will fl
nance the committees to carry on
the investigation. I notice with
great pleasure that Mr.. Powell,
president of the bankers associa-
tion, favored the recommendation of
the plan to finance the committees.

that if man wants to tip a waiter

les of porters and walters when tips
are prohibited.

PLANT PEAR TREES IN Kuws
Good Distance 10 Fifteen BY Thirty
Feet-obJeet 10 to Obtain Larger
Yields Of Fruit.

A good distance for planting stand
ard pear trees is Is by 80 feet; that
is, the rows are 80 feet apart and the
trees IL feet apart in the rows.
The object Of this method is to OBJ.
tain larger crops of fruit from the
same ground until the trees become
large enough to interfere with each
other: then each alternate tree in the
row is cut out, leaving the trees in the
entire orchard at distance of 80 feet
each way.
This system has the advantage of
more fully utilizing the land for fruit
production until the thinning out be-
comes necessary.
Another plan is to plant the trees 20
feet apart each way. This distance
will afford free circulation of air and
abundance Of sunlight, both Of which
are essential to well-developed and
highly colored fruit.

A certain dairyman has three

other with one normal horn and the
other showing flush with the skin,
but not projecting beyond 1t. These
results were due to different degrees
of treatment. The hornless heifer

of irritation of the skin over the but

tion. When the animal is young 1t re-

gets the less protein is required. Hav-
ing determined a good ration then

that 1t will remain in the manger from
one feeding time to another.
A colt should weigh at one year OF
age about half what 1t will ever weigh.
and an abundance Of feed given dur
ing the second or third year cannot
make up for what has been lost during
the first year. The market demands
strong heavy horses and sometimes
the difference in price that Is paid for
two horses, one Weighing 1000 pounds
and the other 1900, will amount to
nearly a dollar pound. 1t is there
fore most important to get strong
heavy horses and the foundation for
this increased weight is laid in good
breeding and liberal early feeding.
A young colt often begins to eat OF

KILLING OFF THE cRIcKETs
Poisoned Bran 10 Recommended for
Combating Pest-Paris Green
or Arsenic Are Favored.

(By GEORGE A. BEAM. Kansas Exper-
iment Station.)
To combat the black crickets which
often are a pest, use poisoned bran
mash. This is made by mixing a
pound of bran and one ounce paris
green together in pan. and adding
three ounces sirup Of molasses and
some orange peel mixed in one and
one-half pints of water. A small
amount of this damp mash Ghould be
put in shallow pans or dishes and put
behind heavy furniture or in other
places frequented by crickets.

found that the young animal will soon
be getting large per cent OF It's
nourishment in this way. A mixture
of three parts oats and one part bran
makes a good feed for the colt.
With liberal feeding the colt should
be given an opportunity to run and
play as much as he desires, and there
ia no animal on the farm that enjoys
It better or needs 1t more than the
colt.
