PINK DAVIS ARRESTED AS
ACCOUIPL LICE OF JOHN DAVIS
IN HARRY SKINNER MURDER
(From Mondays Daily Press)

According to statements made this morning by
local officials who are working the Skinner murder
mystery there have been developments OF any conse
olence in the case since the confession made Thursday
night by Louie Brewer and Friday morning by Lille
resulting in the arrest Of John Davis Friday
afternoon on warrant charging him with the murder
of Skinner Saturday afternoon Pink Davis, cousin of
John Davis was placed under arrest and lodged in jail
on suspicion that he accomplce in the crime.
The officers decline ITO state the grounds for their ss
picions
A rrnnor gained currency Saturday afternoon and
evening to the effect that Lille McDoniga had stated
John Davis killed Ira Durham, SINNERS companion on
Thursday night following the killing Of Skinner on Sat
urday night July 49, and that Dunhams body was bur
led in the graveyard north Of the city This rmor be-
came so persistent and spread so rapidly that all day
Sunday curous-minded people went to the graveyard
expecting officers to appear at any time to exhme the
body of Dunham. Officers stated this morning. how
ever there was no truth in the rumors that Lille Nc
Donegal had not stated she knew Durham was killed.
She did say Davis said Durham disappeared, but she
denied knowing whether he left voluntarily or was dis
posed of by Davis Or some one else.
A special grand jury will be convened "Wednesday
and deep probe will be inserted into the mystery. Oh
ficers state they are making satisfactory Roadway IN
evidence and they believe the mystery OF SKIN
ners death and Dunhams disappearance will be cleared
up before the end of this week.

Machine WAR
NEVER STOPS

With the Army in France, Dec
15.-This is machine war. One
realizes this more fully as each day
of winter passes. The human ele-
ment has been baked, but machin-
cry continues the grim work of de-
struction. While scouts are paralyz-
ed, airplanes continue. When air.
planes cannot be driven, big guns
belch forth their message of devas-
tation When official communicates
report that little is being accom-
plished, it does not necessarily
mean that the fronts are Quiet
for machine fighting never ceases.
The above was received this morn
ing from William Phillips Simms
in copyrighted article. Simms is
the only correspondent with the
allied lines on the Somme.

by Louie Brewer against her husband with
the intention Of marrying her. He stated,
however, yesterday that he had become
convinced the Brewer woman thought
more of Jack Goode than she did of him
and he had given up the idea of marry
ineAher. Davis manifested much interest
in the women at the time Of their arrest
aad incarceration in the county jail and
for some time he visited the jail almost
daily and held conferences with them. At
the preliminary trial in September he sat
near the witness stand and watched every
proceeding with deep interest.
The officers believe Davis is respon-
sible for the disappearance of Ira Dun
ham and they further think Lille Nc
Donegal knows what became of Durham.
SPECIAL GRAND JURY TO SIT.
1t is understood Judge Dudley has
ordered the sheriff to summons a special
venire Of grand jurors to convene here
next Wednesday to investigate the new
developments in the murder case and to

know what became of Ira Durham, Skin
ner's companion who disappeared on
Thursday night following the killing on
Saturday night, though Lille McDonigal
said Davis told her several days later that
had disappeared.
The Brewer woman said she and
Lille McDonigal lived in the house nearly
two weeks after the murder and that Lii
lie McDonigal tore the bloodstained pa
per from the wall to hide some Of the
evidence Of the crime.
The McDonigal woman said she
and Davis planned the defense, then told
their plans to Louie Brewer and eXacted
a promise from her to testify as she did
in the Brandon trial.

Greene counties several years. Since his
residence in this county he has rented
land and farmed, worked in the timber
and on public works. He had become in
fatuated with the two women, especially
Louie Brewer and had agreed to put up

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 THE COTTON MARKET
Export Movement Leads to In- creased Estimates of Seasons Clearances-Weekly Weather Report Less Favorable.

New York, June l6.-The cotton market has been quiet during the week and fluctuations irregular with prices working between 12 3-4 and 13 cents for October contracts. Much of the buying here has been in the shape 'of covering by Liverpool straddle shorts and differences between for eign and American markets have mar rowed, owing to the easier ruling of ocean freight rates.
 This also has promoted the export movement, leading to increased esti- mates of probable clearances for the season, while there has been local covering on rather less optimistic views of the new crop progress.
 The weekly report of the Weather Bureau read less favorably, owing to unseasonably low temperatures, while the persistent rains were commented upon by local bulls as likely to result In poor tap root. A private crop re- port issued on Wednesday indicating an improvement of only l1 per cent between May 22 and June was less favorable than talked of earlier in the month, while today report was s- sued of even more bullish character, as it indicated deterioration of IA per cent between May 25 and June II.
 These advices have checked selling and in connection with the more bull ish outlook of the export, inspired more or less covering short accounts, but demand has been far from gener- al and prices at the close of business tonight ruled around 12.92 for Octo- Der. comparing with 1900, the high point of last Saturday and l2.62, the lower level reached on the break at the beginning of the month.

ARK ANSAS TAX COMMISSION
 MADE PARTY DEPENDANT

Little Rock, June 1.-The Arkan- sas Tax Commissioner was made party defendant in a suit filed in the United. States District Court on Fri day, and when the papers were served on Commissioners Brown and Mar tineau, they had visions of steel bars and rattling bolts, for there was noth- ing to indicate it was a mere suit at law.
 Herman Duhme is the complainant. He sues V. N. Redditt, tax assessor of Perry county, and the members of the Commission. The suit is to re- quire the assessor to assess the prop erty in Perry county at full value un- til sufficient fund is raised to pay off $20,OO0 judgment Duhme, a resident of Missouri, holds against the county.
 The Tax Commission is made a party to the suit with the hope that it will be required to assess at full value the property of the Rock Island and other railroads of the county to thus increase the annual revenue from this source and assist in getting the funds with which to pay the judg- ment.

REACTION PARTLY
 RECOVERS DECLINE
Private Crop Report Helps Mar ket-CIOse 2 to ) Points Un- der-LiverpOol Barely Met Yesterdays Local Rally.

Now York, June 16.-A bullish pri- rate crop report failed to stimulate any general buying on the cotton mar ket here today, but an early decline was partly recovered with the close steady, at a net loss of 2 to points, October contracts sold from 12.9Sc to l2S9c during the morning and ral- lied to l294c, closing at l2.92c.
 The opening was irregular at an advance of points to a decline of ? points. Liverpool barely met yester- days local rally, but this was again attributed to easing freight rates and houses with Liverpool connections were moderate buyers around the To- cal ring. This accounted for the gen. erally steady tone at the start, but the straddle buying was much less active than recently, while prospects for clearing weather in the Western belt and the absence of crop damage complaints from the South seemed to inspire scattering liquidation or a renewal of local selling At any rate, the market soon turned easier and active months sold 6 to 8 points under last night closing figures before the end of the morning.
 The decline was checked around midday by the publication of a priv ate report, making the condition of the crop S0.7, as of June II, com pared with S2.l per cent toward the end of May
 Cotton closed steady.

DIR. BLEDSOE SUPERIN-
 PENDENT UNTIL JUNE 1
Pulaski Chancery Court Grants Injunction Restraining Order Prohibits Interfering Manage ment State Hospital.

Little Rock, June 17.-Until June 21 at least, Dr. k. P. Bledsoe will re- main as head of the State Hospital. the. Pulaski Chancery Court on Fri day afternoon granting a restraining order which prohibits the Board of Control from interfering with him as superintendent until that day, when the Pulaski Circuit Court, Second Di- vision, will pass upon the merits of the dismissal of Dr. Bledsoe
 The Board of Control only a short time before served rather lengthy document on Dr. Bledsoe, finding him guilty of all charges preferred against him by the Board, and removing him from the superintendency of the hos pital for cause. Attorneys for Dr. Bledsoe had the papers all prepared, and they immediately went into Cir cult Court with a writ of certorari, which was granted by Judge Guy Fulk, The papers were served on the members of the Board of Control as soon as Chancellor Martineau had followed the writ of certiorari with the restraining order, and the clerk of the Circuit Court had issued the papers demanding that all the records in the case be brought before Judge Fulk for review
 The Board of Control appointed pr. E. Arkebauer, senior physician at the hospital as superintendent, pend ing selection of a permanent super intendent, and Dr. Arkebauer con- scented to serve, but he did not get to the office of Dr. Bledsoe before the injunction had been issued and the papers served on the members The papers were read to two members in the quarters of Gov. G. w. Hays in the State Capitol.
 The legality of the contract entered
 into between the board and Dr. Bled- soc will be threshed out in the Cir cult Court, but the whole case de- bends upon the sufficiency of the cause for, his dismissal. The granting of the writ of certiorari and the de- mand that the transcript of the tes- timony offered at the hearing indi- cates that the court will decide whe- ther the charges, even if they were sustained, were sufficient to cause dis misSal.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

19Se-Jack Everhardt and Young Griffo fought 20-round draw at Buff
 falo. This battle of a score of years ago Is reminiscent of two of the best boys who ever put on the gloves, al- though neither reached the champion ship goal Everhardt was a. native of New Orleans and got his ring intro duction in that city in 1893 by fight ing a mere matter of 85 rounds with Andy Bowen, the famous mulatto lightweight. From that time on, as long as he was in his prime. Ever hardt ranked among the lightweight topnotchers, and only one man was good enough to take his measure. That was Kid Livigne, the champion. who outpointed Jack in 20 rounds at Coney Island in 1895. and repeated in 1S96. Griffo was an Australian, and the old time fans never tire of talking about his cleverness. Griffo wasn't any intellectual prodigy iii other mat ters, but when it came to boxing he knew all that anybody elsa knew, and a little bit more. It took mighty good boy to put glove on him. Griffo boxed draws with Kig LaVigne, Solly Smith, Tommy White, George Dixon. Joe Cans and many other feather weight and lightweight champions and near,champions. As for the rest, his biography is like that of so many other fighters: The booze got him.

French Refuse Passage
 ITO Red Cross Supplies Y Scheduled For Germans

Paris. July 1o.-The French au- fhozities have refused to allow free passage into Germany of American Red Cross sanitary equipment and supplies notwithstanding the Society," claim that such passage is justified by article 2s of the Declaration of London and article Is of the Geneva Convention of 1906.
 The French authorities hold that itself to asserting that material ex- clusively for the use of sick and wounded ifs not to be classed as con- traband of war" but that these words do not prevent such material from be- ing captured and confiscated for vio- latton of blockade nor from being held up on the way. Moreover, they add the Declaration of London was never ratified and therefore has no obligatory force.
 sAs to article 16 of the Geneva Con- vention9 the French authorities now intimate that, considering German methods of conducting war. they see no reason for departing from their prohibition of May 1916 against send ing any goods whatever into Germany, so cannot make any exception in fa- vor of the American Red Cross So- ctety, more especially as the supplies Aby .reprovisioning Germany with raw material that is often easy to re- cover after usage and of which the German government has pressing need for it's military operations"
