Sims for Tax Assessor.

In this issue appears the an. nouncement of Marion Sims as { candidate for tax assessor of Greene county. Marion is a young man ot sterling qualities, S2 years of age
 is industrious, conservative anC well qualified to fill the position he seeks. He is a son of J. M
 Sims, a prominent farmer of St
 Francis township, and was born and raised in Greene county. He re ceived his education in the public schools of the county and his man ual training with an ax in the new ground and between the blow nan dies in the field. Since reaching manhood he has worked the most of the time for Bertig Bros. He is at present working for the Hurt Pro duce Co. Being poor man he knows the value of a dollar, just how hard they are to obtain, either as farmer or as a laborer else where. Marion believes that his varied experience as farmer and his knowledge of other work as a laborer will not disqualify him in assessing the property of the coun- ty. All who know him can vouch for his honesty, uprightness of character and merits of principles for which he stands, and he prom ises that, should the voters of Greene county honor him with their votes and the office, it will be very greatly appreciated and he will strive to show his appreciation in the discharge of his duties for and in the interest of the people.

HIDE AND SEEK IS
 PLAYED WITH DEATH

Little Rock, Dec. 14.-(Special to The Press) .-Clarence Dewein and Joe Strong are playing hide and-seek with death. Six times has the law fixed the date upon which they should pay the extreme penalty for the murder of L. H. Thompson, the aged Benton mer- chant, two years ago, and five times has the governor intervened and granted them an extension of life.
 On Jan. IA. 1915, their date of electrocution was set for March |, after their case had been fought through all the courts, and every inch of the ground vigorously con tested. A respite was granted until March 23, another until April 6, a third until June s, and a fourth until Dec. Is, tomorrow. Tn the meantime Grover T. Owens, counsel for Dewein has been active in his efforts to secure evidence or bring arguments to bear upon the gover- nor that will induce him to grant

LOW-SALARIED HELP
 MUST NOT BE USED

Little Rock, Dec. 11.-(Special Ter Clary has refused the applica- tions of several department store managers to employ extra sales girls during the holiday rsuh at $2. 50 to S3 a week. One store had already employed four, but MT. Clary refused to sanction it, declar- ing that girls had better stay at home unless they can get more than that. He is insisting upon compliance with the law which provides that the minimum wage shall be $1 a day.
 The commissioner will recom- mend to the legislature that the law be amended to apply to one or more female employees in a build ing, for the same concern, instead .Clary considers this an unjust dis crimination against the girls or women who are employed in fewer numbers than four. He counts clerks, stenographers, bookkeepers Or other female employees in de- termining the number. e
 A great number of special per mits are being issued for boys to work during the holidays. This feature of the law is closely ob- served in Pine Bluff and Fort Smith, under the direction of the probation officers. In other places it is supposed to be in the hands of the school superintendents, but they give little or no attention to it. However, the law is strictly observed everywhere by mills, fac tories and mines, where the pro- prietors take no chances on account of the danger of personal injury prosecutions.

FORD CABLES REQUEST FOR

New York, Dec. 13.-(Special to The Press) Actual work of end ing the European butchery began today when Henry Ford, aboard his special peace ship at Christiana, dictated cablegrams to rulers of all the belligerent powers asking that an immediate truce be declared, The Detroit maker of Model T. tour ing cars is perfectly willing to allow the armies to remain where they are until peace negotiations are undertaken. Ia fact, no sug- gestion that withdrawal of troops take place instanter upon receipt of the message officially signed by MT. Ford len persona" was made. It is presumed that Mr. Ford expects compliance with the message at once. He stated that speedy action was imperative, as most of the soldiers have, either directly or indirectly, expressed a desire to spend Chi iEtmas at home. AS there is no other way to end the war except by mediation, why, in the sake of humanity, waste any more lives?" asks Mr. Ford. He declared that the party has no idea of intruding upon national affairs, their purpose being to help rather than annoy.

FRANK THRELKELD
 GIVEN TWO YEARS
(From Saturdays Daily Press)

Frank Threlkeld, charged with arson, was declared guilty by a jury in circuit court here last night at eighty thirty o'clock and was given a sentence of two years in the state penitentiary. When Fred Watson, circuit clerk, read the verdict of the jury Threlkeld swooned and fell from his chair. Officers and relatives quickly plac- ed him on cot and carried him to the jail. Dr. R. J. Haley was summoned and for more than an hour he worked with the convicted man. The physician said Threlk- breakdown caused by the severe mental strain under which he had been laboring for several weeks, and having its continuation in the trial of his case. Threlkeld remained in an unconscious condition all night and throughout the forenoon At noon he showed signs of reviving and Dr. Haley said he felt sure he would be almost normal by tomor- row morning,
 Threlkeld, with J. w. Eaton and Len Eaton, were indicted on five counts for forming a conspiracy to set fire to five business buildings in Paragould on the night of Octo- Der l. last. It was alleged in the indictment that Threlkeld actually applied the torch to the buildings. The fires were started between eight and nine o'clock in the eve ming and in each instance were dis covered before they gained much headway and were extinguished. Threlkeld was arrested within a few minutes after he was seen tol enter and come out of the stairway leading over the building occupied by J. B. Mines store. Fire was discovered in the hallway when Threlkeld left the building. Other buildings fired, all on the second floor, with the exception of the Bleier building occupied by J. o. Langdon's paint store, were the McHaney building on West Court, the Trice building on West Elmer son and the Mack building on South Pruet Threlkeld was tried for setting fire to the Mime build ing. The two Eatons will be placed on trial Tuesday.

ment it should give Threlkeld. One report is the jury stood ten to two on the first ballot for the maximum penalty of ten years, while two jurors insisted from the beginning they would not vote for more than two years, the lowest penalty pre- scribed by the law. Finally the ten abandoned their position and joined the two in giving Threlkeld two years.
 w. w. Randy, attorney for Threlkeld, is undecided on the mat ter of taking an appeal to the su- preme court.
 There are four other charges against Threlkeld, and these will probably be held over him pending the outcome of the case on which he was tried and convicted yester- day.

FREIGHT WRECK DELAYS
TRAFFIC ON THE PENNSY
Thirty Cars Piled UP Over Four
Tracks Near Philadelphia, and Pas
senger Trains Are Diverted.

PHILADELPHIA, November 2a.-one
OF the most serious freight wrecks that
mas occurred in long time on the New
YORK division of the Pennsylvania rail-
road occurred at Cornwells eighteen
miles east of Philadelphia, at 1850
O'Clock last night, and traffic was
blocked many hours. The train on
which President Wilson returned to
Washington from New York was one of
the many that had to be diverted over
other routes. President Wilson's train
was diverted at Trenton, n j., to the
trenton division and run down along
the New Jersey side of the Delaware
river to the Delaware river bridge
Where ii crossed into Philadelphia and
resumed its journey along the regular
route.
No one was hurt in the wreck, but
thirty freight cars were damaged and
piled up over the four tracks of the
road. The accident was due to the
failure of the engineer of one of the
two freight trains involved to obey sig
nails Both freights were going east on
different tracks and one crossed over
at a switch and crashed into the mid
die Of the other.
The wreck badly mixed up the sched-
ule of the railroad. Trains from the
west were diverted to the Trenton cut
of. twenty-five miles west OF Phila-
delphia, or were sent over the New
Jersey by way of the Delaware river
bridge here used for seashore traffic
Pennsylvania railroad tickets were
honored by the Reading railroad in
Philadelphia and by the Jersey Central
in New York.
