DECLARE DEATH
 PENALTY REVOKED BELL COUNSEL 'Sl CLAIM
ATTORNEYS ASSERT WORDING OF ACT LEAVES JURIES
 NO ALTERNATIVE.

Little Rock, Oct. S.-Briefs filed yesterday in the supreme court in the appeal of Sam Bell, argued orally be- fore the court last Monday, set forth that the law passed by the last legis- lature aimed to make capital punish ment optional with juries, in reality makes the imposition of the death penalty impossible. The law reads: "The jury shall have the right, in all cases where the punishment is now death by law, to render verdict of life imprisonment in the state penl- tentiary at hard labor" The emer- gencv clause of the law says that all laws or parts of laws in conflict are repealed. It is set forth in the brief that since the laws providing capital punishment for certain rlmes are abolished by the emergency clause, there are now cases where the pun ishment is death. It is expected the court will rule on this point when 1t decides Bells case.
 Bell slew four of his divorced wife's relatives near Morrilton last April He was convicted of one murder, sen- tenced to life imprisonment, tried on another murder charge, convicted, and sentenced to be electrocuted August 20. The appeal saved him from death and a new date for his execu- tion has not been set. The brief of the appeal also alleges that the special term of court at which the convictions were secured was not con- ducted in accordance with the law.

CALLS COMMITTEE
 10 MEET OCT. B TO FIX PRIMARY DATE
J. R. DONNELL DE- CLIMBS TO SIGN NOTICE OF
 CHAIRMAN NICHOLS
From Wednesdays Daily

From Wednesdays Daily
 For the purpose of fixing a date for the next county Demooratic pri- mary election, Chairman A. l.. Nich- als today issned call for a meeting of the Faulkner County Democratic Central Committee to be he'd a. ta5r- Wa 9r Saturday, October 9 at 1o o'clock a. m.
 J. K. Donnell, secretary of the com nittee, 'eclrned to sign the cpll when presented to him. Mr. D)rnell IS very mu h opposed to an ea:l, pri- mary, and stated that he ani Mr. Nichols hau agreed some time ago L. shut off tLC possibility of a January primary " withholding the call until alter the state committee meets in December.
 Mr. Nichols stated that the secre- tarys signature was not required to make the call valid, as the committee adjourned at it's last meeting subject to the call of the chairman. He said that regardless of his own views in the matter he did not wish to be in the attitude of abitrarily preventing the party from following it's custom of many years and holding it's county primary in January, and to refuse to issue a call would be equivalent to taking such authority in his own hands without giving the whole con- mittee an opportunity to pass upon the matter.
 '1 do not wish to assume such au- thority," Chairman Nichols said to- day, and I have therefore called the committee together to decide the ques- tion. I find some sentiment for an early primary and some for late one, and the committee can easily de- eide which it prefers. Another side of the question is," MT. Nichols add ed, "that if the county primary is not held either before or together with the state primary, the present com mittee will have nothing to do with it. The committee as now constitut- ed was elected in March, 1914, after the county primary had been held, and a new committee will be elected next March, so that if the county pri mary is deferred, the present commit tee will not participate in it.''
 Secretary Donnell asserted today that sentiment among the members of the committee as well as the voters generally was practically unanimous for late primary.
 The formal call as issued today by Chairman Nichols is as follows: "To the Democratic County Central
 Committeeman of Faulkner Coun-
 ty:
 NYou are hereby called to meet at the courthouse in Conway on Satur- day, October 23, 1915, at 10 o'clock in the forenoon of said day. Said meet ing is called for the purpose of fixing the time for holding a county pri- mary for the purpose of nominating persons for the various different county offices and township offices and to attend to any and all other busi- ness which may properly be brought before said committee.

SAYS AZTEC SQUASH
 IS WONDER OF THE AGE

A squash, grown from seed hun dreds, and perhaps thousand years old, is on exhibition in the agricul- tural pavilion at the fair. It has been named 'the Aztec" the seed from which it was grown being discovered in an ancient ruin of that tribe near Camp Verde by John G. Aleen. A dozen seeds were planted but only one came up.
 Evan A. Bonham, the chicken raiser of Cherry in discussing "the Aztec" squash yesterday said:
 About two years ago MT. Jones was fishing near these ruins. He con cluded to see if he could not find some pottery. He went into one of the large caverns, or rooms and saw a place in the wall that looked like it had been at some time bradished up. He broke the wall at this place and found small recess or room. In this room among some pottery, corn cobs, and other rubbish he found about a dozen seed that resembled squash seed. The room was sealed so tightly that not even mouse could get in to eat the seed.
 "It was too late to plant the seed last year so he planted them early this year. They ate the smaller squash few days ago and pronounced it very fine. The on con exhibition weighs twenty-five pounds. Its deep green col or and warty appearance interspersed with purple and deep red spots makes it to my mind the wonder of the age; at least it is unlike anything I have ever seen. have attended two worlds fairs, many state and county fairs, and agricultural shows, almost from Maine to California, and I have never seen anything like it. Just to think of these seeds laying in this room for hundreds and perhaps thous- ands of years, and now being planted and bearing fruitw-Prescott Journal Miner.
