300 ATTEND OAK
 GROVE DECORATION

A crowd estimated at 300 attended the decoration services of the Con- federate veterans and the Independ- ent Order of Odd Fellows yesterday afternoon at Oak Grove cemetery. The graves of all deceased veterans and of all deceased members of Cen ter Link lodge No. 75, I. O. o. F., of Conway were decorated.
 The exercises of the veterans were opened with an invocation by Rev. l.. M. Sipes, pastor of the First Bap- tist church. Prof. w. o. Wilson of Hendrix College delivered an appro- priate address, after which Miss Mar jorie Harrison read "The Eulogy on the Dead" by Porter. Our Soldiers" i" composed by Mrs. Ruth H. Burr of this city, was read by Mrs. Fanny Dunaway-H Hogan. Music for the oc- casion was rendered by the choir of the First Methodist church.
 The Odd Fellows services were featured by an address by J. R. Don nell, who spoke on odd Fellowship. /" The grave of the late Captain w. w. Martin, Conway's greatest philan- thropist, at Martinville, is being dec orated this afternoon. Several from Conway are attending the services.

FREEMAN FINED
 $50 AND 1 HOUR FOR SHOOTING JIM FORD Brother Faces Felony Charge Before Grand Jury-NO Charge
 Against Ford.

Reducing the charge from assault with intent to kill, a felony, to ag- gravated assault, a misdemeanor, Justice of the Peace G. M. Easter wood today fined Sam Freeman, who shot and seriously injured Jim Ford in fight at Terry bridge April IT, $50 and costs and sentenced him to serve one hour in the county jail. The fine was paid and the sentence served this afternoon.
 The fine was the outcome of free forall fight, in which all of the par ticipants are said to have been in- toxicated, between Sam and Tom Freeman and Jim Ford. Ford was shot through the right lung with a 25-callbre automatic pistol and re- ceived three severe knife wounds in the face and neck, the one in the neck coming very close to the jugular vein. Tom Freeman was shot in the hand by stray bullet from his brothers pistol and Sam Freeman. who was charged with shooting and cutting Ford, was hurt about the head with blow from a fence pail ing. Alex Ford, Jim's brother, and Joe McGinty were also in the party but are said to have taken no part in the fight. Alex Ford died of conges- ton about two weeks after the diff ficulty.
 Tom Freeman has already had an examining trial before Justice F. D. Utley of Mathews township, who held him to the grand jury on charge of assault with intent to kill. Sam Freeman had already been fined $50 and costs by Justice Easterwood for carrying pistol. No charge has yet been lodged against Ford.

Hitchcock, it will be remembered, conveyed the impress sion that if Hughes is elected he (Hitchcock) will be head pie passer for the administration. This raised a row, naturally. But the Hughes men can afford to have no row just now. They want all factions united.
 Of the 985 delegates, about 500 are now in the city. Of these PAS were counted for Hughes. If this count is correct, the justice will make by far the biggest showing on the first bal lot, which now cannot come before Saturday.

SUMMER SESSION AT NORMAL OPENS r,aa Fl
 l3O ALREADY ENROLLED Training School Work to be Empha.
 sized with Three Expert
 Teachers in Charge.

With an opening attendance of 130, considerably exceeding that of the first day of the 1915 summer session, the Arkansas State Normal School opened for an eight weeks summer session this morning. The total session for the 1915 summer session reached 221 and as a large number who expect to attend this year have not yet arrived, it is con- sidered probable that all previous summer attendance records will be broken during the present session.
 Pres. J. J. Doyne is slowly recover ing from his recent illness and was able to be in the office assisting in the work of matriculating the stu dents today. Classroom work will not be taken up until tomorrow, to- day being devoted to classification and registration.
 The training school department of the institution, so successfully con- ducted for the past several years, will be emphasized during the present ses- sion. The services of Miss Eliza Hos kins of Little Rock, regarded as one of the most gifted primary teachers in the state, have been secured as su pervising teacher Prof. F. H. Harin of Little Rock high school will teach in the training school, devoting special attention to methods. Miss Ethel Dulin, who has been assisting in the department of English at the Normal, will also assist in the train ing school.
 Two Hendrix College professors have been secured for the summer staff, relieveing Normal professors who have been granted leaves of absence. Prof. w. o. Wilson will be at the head of the department of mathematics, in the place of Prof. E. A. Brennan, and Prof. M. J. McHenry Will relieve Prof. J. T. Buchholz as head of the department of science. Both these gentlemen are in charge of similar departments at Hendrix.
 Prof. R. E. Womack, who is com pleting work for doctors degree in Peabody, is expected to return in about two weeks and relieve Prof. D. D. McBrien. in charge of the depart ment of history.

 HEARING TAKEN UP

The hearing of Clyde Gillian, charged with murder in the first de- gree for being responsible for the death of his father-in-law James P. Cole, was taken up before Justice G. M. Easterwood' late this afternoon The case had not been disposed of at the time the Log Cabin Democrat went to press. Gillian has been in jail without bond since Cole died last week. Previous to that he had been on bond to answer charge of as- sault with intent to kill.
 The defense contended that Cole recovered from the wounds inflicted upon him by Gillian and that he died of an illness for which his wounds were not responsible.

COLONEL SEEKS TO SMOKE 0UTHUCHfS ROOSEVELT VOTE WANING Progressive Leaders Threaten Third
 Ticket Unless Hughes an
 nOunces Platform.

Chicago, June 4.-Almost per suaded that Theodore Roosevelt can not be put over as Republican candi- date for the presidency, his Progress slve supporters made a sharp shift in policy today. They now propose to put third ticket in the field unless Charles E. Hughes will make square pre-convention statement on preparedness and the international situation.
 Tonight the Hughes prospects are little advanced. Those of Roosevelt are plainly dwindling. The new az gressive of the Roosevelt men has not yet had any noticeable effect.
 Col. Roosevelt notified his follow CTS ever the telephone that he, for one, would not support Hughes un- less Hughes would declare himself definitely. The colonel said that he had picked one gold brick, meaning William H. Taft, and he did not pro- pose to pick another.
 Augustus Gardner, who is fighting for Roosevelt inside the convention, announced his horror at the lack of Roosevelt organization. He said that unless the colonel comes to Chicago and takes charge all is lost.
 This distracted activity of the Roosevelt people was the chief fea- ture of the days entertainment. To- morrow there will be an effort to- ward formal conference with the Republican leaders, in which these scattered utterances vii be compress ed into an ultimatum. The colonel's followers are pale but determined.
 As for Root or any other reaction. ary, so pronounced are the Progress. sives in their opposition that one oi them. Oscar Straus, will favor Pro. gressive indorsement of Wilson if such man is nominated.

SHARES LATEST TRADE.

Little Rock, June 6.-"Sharp" Dun- away will swap Jeff Davis books for anything-he has traded that bio- graphical classic for bee-trees, sec- ond-hand hearses, 'possums, and coon hides. But his latest deal is as unique as any. There is an old dead oak tree, very large one, standing in the city hall grounds. It had to be cut down, and Sharp saw . chance to make 8 good turn, also few dollars. So he traded the city of Little Rock six copies of the Je6 Davis book for the tree, and will have it cut down and chopped into stove wood and sold.
