HIGH SCHOOLS
ARE HARD HIT
Supreme Court Holds State
Aid Law Unconstitutional
l55 Schools Affected.

The Supreme Court, in de-
cision handed down at Little
Rock last Monday, signed the
death knell to the state aid to
high schools proposition. AT
the same time and in the same
opinion the court refused to
tie up the $1,250,000 to the
credit of the common school
fund in the state treasury. In
the former case the court held
that specific legislative APP
preparation was necessary,
while in the common school
fund case the state constitu-
ton covered the matter.
The decision of the court
will be serious blow to many
of the high schools of the state,
lit is said. Many of them will
be disorganized and forced to
reduce the length of their
courses. The rural high schools
the smaller institutions, will
be the hardest hit by the de-
.cision. The high schools, in
the cities and the larger towns
will not be affected appreciate
", for they do not depend to
any extent upon the state aid
fund. When the work for the
.upbuilding of the high schools
was started there were only
1000 pupils in them. Last year
there were 10000. The state
aid act was part of the pro-
gram of development that
this increase.
There were three high
schools in independence coun-
ty that received state aid last
year under the state aid law.
They were Newark, Sulphur
Rock and Pleasant Plains. The
Newark High School received
$500 last year and the Sulphur
Rock and Pleasant Plains
schools received 5000 each.

FOUR MEDALS
FOR ARKANSAS
Exhibits From This State Get
Gold Medals at San Fran
cisco Worlds Fair.

San Francisco, July 10
Arkansas was awarded four
gold medals by the Executive
Board of the Panama-Pacific
Exposition today, one of which
was for the collective display
of agriculture and miscellane-
Gus products. The other medals
were for the Boys Corn Club
products, cotton and cotton pro-
ducts and the rice exhibit.
The regular jury of awards
gave Arkansas only one silver
medal for the entire agricul-
tural display, ruling that the
state was not entitled to any
higher award because of its
failure to have the exhibits in
place on the opening day. John
P. Logan, director of exhibits
for Arkansas appealed to the
Executive Board, and at its
meeting today overruled the
Jury of Awards.
No announcement of the
awards for the horticultural
displays have been made, this
department being separate
from the other departments.
The Jury of Awards on horti-
culture views the exhibits each
week, and will not make their
awards public until the close
of the exposition.

NEWARK CANNING FACTORY
BEGAN OPERATIONS TUESDAY
HAS CAPACITY OF $4,000
CANS PER DAY
viii Afford Market for Entire
Peach Crop of County in Adj
dition to Tomatoes and Truck

The first steam was raised
in the Newark Canning Com
pany's factory Tuesday, the
machinery tested and the first
run was made Tuesday after
noon.
Everything was found to be
IN fine running order and the
management is we'll pleased
with the results.
The capacity of the plant
surprises everybody, even the
officials of the company, and
it is now plainly evident that
the greatest obstacle to be met
Is the matter of securing the
raw products for canning. A
second run was made Wednes-
day afternoon, when more than
1000 cans of peaches were
put up in less than five hours.
This result was accomplished
with about three-fourths of a
crew, and it was thoroughly
demonstrated that with full
crew the factory will handle
$4,000 cans a day.
The company is buying ev-
cry available peach and is in
the market for 10000 to 49,
600 bushels of peaches. Far
mers who have good market
able peaches for sale need no
longer have any fear of hav-
ing no market for them, and
there is no danger of finding
the factory overstocked. The
capacity of this factory is such
that it can easily handle
every peach grown in Indepen-
dence county this season.
The establishment of this
factory in Newark means the
opening of a ready market

MAN DENIESHE
IS KIDNAPPER
Horse Trader Arrested Heer
Charged With Kidnapping
Says Accuser is Crazy.

Jim Ersher, a horse trader,
about As years old, was arrest
ed here Wednesday afternoon
by Officer James Vaughan,
charged with kidnapping An
ME Cave, a young woman
about Is years of age.
The arrest was made at the
instance of an old man named
Conley, who is apparently
about SO years old and who
claims to be the father of the
girl alleged to have been kid
mapped. Conley tells a rather
disjointed story and the off
GERS are inclined to doubt the
old mans sanity.
The girl alleged TO have been
kidnapped is Is years old and
is said to have been married,
but Conley, it is said, separated
her and her husband.
Jim Ersher, the alleged kid
NAPIER, was driving along the
public road near Pangbun sew
eral days ago, when he over
took Conley and the young
woman, walking along the
road. Ersher says they asked
him to let them ride, which he
did, as he had no family or
travelling companions except
his little girl, @no is eight
years old.
Conley and the young wo-
man wanted to come to New
ark, SO they said. Ersher was
headed this way, trading hor-
ses, and he agreed to bring
them. omewhere near judi
sonia, Conley left the wagon but
says he merely stopped to talk
to a man for a few minutes
and that Ersher drove up and
ran away and left him, taking
the yong woman, and that he
could not overtake them and
that he then Swore out a war
rant for the arrest of Ersher.
Ersher says the old man APP
parently became frightened
and jumped out of the wagon
and disappeared. After his
failure to return, the young
woman insisted on coming to
Newark and he decided to
bring her, thinking the old man
would eventually come ON and
overtake them.
When arrested Ersher de-
MED that he had mistreated
the young woman in any man.
ner and said he had no inten-
ton of kidnapping her. The
girl told a similar story and
steadfastly maintained that Err
sher had been guilty of no mis-
conduct toward her.
Ersher was unable to give
bond and was taken to Bates
vile Wednesday night by Con-
stable w. R. Fausel and plac-
ed in jail. Ersher declined to
employ an attorney, declaring
that he was guilty of no crime.
The yong wnoman and Err
sher's little daughter accom-
panied him to Batesville, where
