CHILD BRIDE OF
WEALTHY TEXAN
sent TO PRISON
Mrs. Katherine Vance Har-
rison Given Five Years for
Killing Seducer.

Fort Worth, Tex, June 2S-Mrs.
Katherine Vance Harrison, child
bride of Charles Harrison. son of one
of Fort Worth's oldest and wealthiest
families, was convicted of murder to-
day by jury after trial of week.
She was accused of killing W., L.. War
rem, hotel proprietor. She was Civ
en- five years in the penitentiary. She
admitted the Staying, but said Warren
had despoiled her when she was a
mere child. She married Harrison
two days after the killing.
No blame was attached to Mrs. Har-
risen, however, until a waiter in War
ren's place was arrested six weeks
after the killing. Then a friend of
the girls informed the officers that
katherine had told her she killed
Warren. When arrested Katherine
readily admitted the shooting. Be-
cause of the prominence of the Harri
son family and the sensational testi-
mony offered, involving the girls
character, the trial attracted the
largest crowds in the history of Tar
rant county.
Charles Harrison, husband of the
convicted girl, is a nephew of United
States Senator Charles A. Culberson.
James Harrison, father of the young
husband, was formerly vice president
of bank here, and still is large
stakeholder in several banks. The
Harrison home is one Of the finest
in the exclusive residence section.

26 MILLIONS FOR
COUNTRY'S DEFENSE

Washington, June 27.-The house
appropriation committee today re-
ported an emergency bill of $26,000,-
600 for extraordinary expense of the
army and national guard, caused by
mobilization for Mexican border SER
vice.
Most of the amount goes for equip
ment and transportation. Another
bill reported provides for continuing
all ordinary expenses of the govern
ment through July, which was made
necessary because a number annual
supply bills, providing funds for the
fiscal year beginning July l, have not
been passed.
Washington, June 27.-For the pur-
pose of meeting the Mexican emery
ency, coupled with unexpected in
creases in other army and naval items,
inimportant changes may be made in
the administration revenue program.
House leaders decided to delay the
passage of bills now ready, substitute
bills have been prepared, and there
were indications that the change in
plans might contemplate . federal
bond issue.

BACKACHE rs A
WARMING
Pine Bluff People Should Not Neglect
Their Kidneys.

3 Rackache is often natures most
frequent signal Of weakened kidneys.
TO cure the pains and aches, to re-
move the lameness when it arises
from weakened kidneys, you must
reach the cause.-the kidneys. If you
have pain through the small of your
back, urinary disorders, headaches,
dizzy spells, or are nervous and de-
pressed, start treating the kidneys
with tested kidney remedy
Doan's Kidney Pills have been prov
ed good and are especially for weak
kidndeys. Doan's have been used in
kidndey trouble for over so years.

Mrs. F. A. Carver, 1905 W. Third
ST., Pine Bluff, says: Il believe that
my kidneys became weakened on ac-
count of a sickness l had some time
ago. l had pains through the small
of my back and other kidney ailments.

relief right away"

BURGLARS BUSY
in Pine BLUFF
home DISTRICT
Police Chief Stewart Will
Ask Council for at Least
One More Man.

Because there is continued activity
on the part of burglars in Pine Bluff,
and the local police department is too
small to give protection against the
thieves, Chief of Police Frank Stew
art will go before the council at its
meeting next Monday night, and will
ask that at least one additional man
be added to the department.
eve are getting reports every day,
of thefts and burglaries, and there is
no doubt in my mind that we have
some old heads at work here" said
Chief Stewart yesterday. eve have
only two policemen on the streets at
night, and they are in the business
section. Nearly all the burglaries are
in the residence sections of the city,
where stores and homes are being
entered and robbed.
eve must have more men on the
department, at least one more man,
for roundsman duty, in order to. give
protection against these burglars.
The police department now is smaller
than it ever has been here, and be-
cause the men are reliable and willing,
we have been able to sget by so far.
The activity of the burglars, however,
is something we can not cope with un-
less we get more men,"
That the burglars working here are
experienced men, is indicated by the
fact that they are not disposing of
their loot in Pine Bluff, so far as can
be learned, and the further fact that
they evidently have some safe place
where they can dispose of it, without
fear of detection. The burglary at the
Lakeside Millinery shop, some days
ago, where dozen or more high
priced hats were taken, is considered
further indication that cold heads" are
doing the work, as the amateur burg
lar would not know what to do with a
4 lot of women's headgear, whereas the
"old head" would know where he could
1 get cash money for the hats.

SITES OFFERED
BRANCH NORMAL
NOT ACCEPTED

None of the four or five sites shown
to the trustees Of the state university,
for selection as the location of the
new branch normal school, have been
found satisfactory by the trustees, ac-
cording to letter received by Secre-
tary E. B. Bloom of the chamber of
commerce from j. C.. Futrall, presi-
dent Of state university.
The chamber of commerce special
committee, which has the duty of To-
eating a site for the institution, will
continue its labors, and hope to be
able to find a satisfactory site within
q short time. A tract of approximate
" 200 acres is desired by the trus-
tees, that the students at the school
may be given lessons in practical
agriculture and other farm business.
The branch normal school is now To-
Gated on a. tract of 20 acres only,
which is far too small for the purpose,
and which is not located where it
might result in the greatest good.
tbs the desire Of the trustees to get
a tract of about 200 acres, not too
close to the city, yet not too far out.
Many Of the pupils at the school find
it necessary to work, in order to meet
their expenses, and principally on this
account is it desired that the school
be not too far from the city. At the
same time, there are many conven-
fence in the city, which can be en-
joyed by the school and it's pupils, if
it is located closely adjacent hereto.

ON THE LEVEL
By c. w.

After that ALFRED siege of fifty
hours from Tuesday night to Thurs
day night at 1923 O'Clock, and then a
little after for the city primary-we
think it is appropriate to resurrect this
column if just for a day only. There
is a certain amount of freedom which
can be taken here, even surprising
that first column devoted to the para
grapher. The range here is much
wider than the space in which Wilson
had to run.
Apropos to all of that disturbance
last Tuesday night when fellow with
his best eyes stretched for the trend
of things would have sold Wilson's
chance for a solid dime-we remind
you of some of the things said, and
here's the way the Savannah Morning
News puts it:
A few of the famous remarks made
Tuesday night: "The victory shows
that the American people can be
trusted to settle campaign issues"
Republican Chairman Wilcox; 81 shall
under no circumstances make any rec
concentrations as to Mr. Hughes ap
pointments or legislative program"
Col. Roosevelt; THE people have
spoken and so forth, New York Sun;
We've got 'em," Vance Mccormick,
Democratic chairman, who sat tight,
and finally made the 100 to shot of
the G. 0. P. look like 80 cents, or
tlereabouts.

tier, if we can't personally chaperone
him, we'll see that he is in good COM
pany.
