FORMER POLICE JUDGE
ATTACKS ACT NO. 2
Judge Isgrig Shows Unfairness
of Bill and Says Prohibition
Great Help to Little Rock.

Little Rock, Sept. 25.-Act
No. 2, to be voted upon at the
general election November 7,
known as the local option bill,
was vigorously attacked from
many standpoints yesterday af-
ternoon by former Police Judge
Fred A. Isgrig,in a reply to Ben
L. Griffin, at a meeting at
Franks hall. Mr.. Griffin, head
of the local Self-Government
Laoeoe ,tshiahl iaieiatod tho hill
spoke two weeks ago at the
same place defending the bill,
and severely criticising the
stand of the church and the
press in actively working
against the passage of the bill.
Mr.. Griffin said it is the peo-
pies business alone if they
want the bill.
Judge Isgrig declared that
Act No. 2 is not a local option
bill in the strict sense of the
word. He said the bill would
give the liquor interests an I'M
fair advantage and that the
people would have practically
nothing to do with the control
of the traffic if the bill is
adopted.
Judge Isgrig referred to the
effect of nine months, f prohi-
bition on the state, saying it
has decreased crime in every
city where liquor was sold prior
to January /. He said it has not
affected business adversely in
these cities, because the bank
clearings in each of them show
a heavy increase over years
prior to the advent of prohibi-
ton.
CAS- Judge of the Little Rock
Police Court | was familiar
with the effects of saloons up
on crime" he said. II have
watched with interest the de-
cline in arrests in Little Rock
and Argenta since prohibition
came. Where 20 and 80 arrests
a day were common a year ago
in Little Rock, we now rarely
have more than 10. The same
conditions prevail at Fort
Pine Bluff and other
cities in the state"

STATE CAMPAIGN is
OPENEDBY DIR. BROUGH
Denounces Act No. 2, But is in
Favor of School Tax and
Road Tax Amendments.

Melbourne, Sept. 25.-Dr.
c. II. Brough, Democratic NOM
inee for governor, opened the
Democratic state campaign here
today with an address to a
crowd estimated at 500. Dele
cations were here from hide
pendence, Stone and Fulton
counties. 1t was the first time
the state fight has ever been
opened in this section. Thomas
S. Evans was chairman of the
meeting, which was held at the
courthouse.
After complimenting the
many staunch Democratic lead
ers in this section, DIR. Brough
paid the following tribute to
President Woodrow Wilson:
HE has the patriotism of
Washington, the philosophy of
jefferson, the courage of An
drew Jackson, and the philan-
thropy of Abraham Lincoln. He
is destined to go down in his
tory as one of the five greatest
presidents of the United States.
1.-THE Progressives in Arkan-
sas should support Wilson,"
DR.. Brough said, because he
has had enacted every Progress
sive campaign plank except
the recall Of judges.
''The federal reserve act is
the greatest piece of financial
legislation since the Civil war.
The rural credits act is ma
tional charter of liberty for the
farmer" He praised the Shack
leford good roads bill, which
appropriates SIS, 100000 over
a period of five years for good
roads throughout the United
States. He advised county Off
Gals how to get a share of the
funds.
DR.. Brough summed up the
presidents Mexican policy in
these words: Millions of Amer
lean dollars for the protection
of American lives, but not one
American life for the protec-
ton of dollars.
sThat policy is identical with
CO, Dr BRf 9o55fgHn F safd he MISC also
praised the Presidents policy
which kept the United States
out of the European war.
DR.. Brough paid his respects
to Charles S. Hughes, Republi-
can candidate for president. |
Mr.. Hughes announced him
self in favor of woman suffrage
purely for political effect" he
said. "Mr. Hughes has never
voted for woman suffrage,
while President Wilson has
cast vote for it.
The nations wealth increas-
ed during the Democratic ad-
ministration from S183,O00.-
100000 to 1926, 900, 900

100000 of this was for NUM-

NASHVILLE BARBER
KILLED BY WOMAN
Improper Notes Written to
Married Woman Said to
Have Been Cause of Killing

Nashville, Ark, Sept. 20
Mrs. Annie Smith walked into
the Palace barber shop at $50
o'clock this morning and scath-
ingly rebuked C. S. Ledford,
33 years old, a barber, and the
father of six children. Then she
pulled at .32-ealiber revolver
from a small paper sack she
carried and shot him.
The wounded man ran 40
feet to the rear of the shop and
fell. John Smith, husband of
Mrs. Smith, entered the barber
shop. Shoot the
again" he shouted. Together
they walked to where Ledford
lay. The revolver spoke twice,
and Ledford lay still, shot
through the heart and through
the back. It is believed the first
shot penetrated his heart and
that he was dead when the sec
ond and third shots were fired.
One shot went wild.
Then the husband and wife
lleft the barber shop and went
| to an office next door, where
they surrendered to Marshal
Robertson. Both were placed in
Jail and will be given a pre-
iminary hearing tomorrow
morning. Smith is held as an
accessory before the fact.
That the shooting was the
elimination of an affair that
became the subject of gossip
was admitted by Smith.He said
lLedford had written several
notes to Mrs. Smith which were
improper and annoying. Smith
said he found some of the notes
and Bedford's wife found some
which Mrs. Smith had written
to LedfOrd. Ledford's actions,
he said, had caused talk, and
| Mrs. Smith brooded over the
notoriety until she became des-
perate.
Smith did not explain his
sudden appearance on the
scene. The Smiths live more
than a mile from Nashville.
Smith is 9 farraaor.
Three men witnessed the
tragedy. They were Robert
Boydston, owner of the barber
shop. George Copel and Frank
Ferguson. Ledford was cutting
Copel's hair when Mrs. Smith
entered.
They say Mrs. Smith told
Ledford she wanted to talk to
him. He stopped work and fac
ed her. They walked to one
side of the building and con-
versed for several minutes.
Boydston said he heard Mrs.
Smith ask:
Have I ever conducted my
self in a manner to make you
believe | am anything but a
Lady," Suddenly she jerked
the revolver from the sack and
fired, the witnesses said. Led
ford was less than three feet
from her. He turned and ran
to the rear of the shop and fell.
AS if by a signal, it is said.
Smith entered and yelled his
command at his wife to shoot
again. Both of them followed
Ledford, and two more shots
were fired. Roydston says that
Mrs. Smith snapped the revol-
yer several times as Ledford
ran.
Up to several weeks agoLed-
ford was absent from Nashville
for more than month, be-
cause, it is said, he and his wife
had quarreled about the notes
she found written by Mrs.
Smith. Ledford had lived here
for many years. The Smiths al
so have lived near here for
many years.
