FORMER GOVERNOR LITTLE
 SUCCUsIBED ON SUNDAY
Brief Illness Proved Fatal at Hos pital in Little Rock-An Honored
 Son of Arkansas.

Little Rock. October 30.--John Sebastian Little, 65 years old, twen- ty-eighth governor of Arkansas, died at 2:l0 o'clock Sunday morn ing at the State Hospital for Nervous Diseases. where he had been under going treatment for an organic brain disease during the last five or six years.
 Greenwood, Oct. 3i.-Ihe funeral of the late Governor John s. Little was held here today and was att tended by hundreds of his former friends and fellow citizens of this and other towns in this and adioin-- ing counties. The special train from Fort Smith brought down several coach loads.
 The cortege went direct from the station to the Methodist church, South. where William sherman. pre- siding elder of the district, con- dueted the service paying a. we'll de- served and eloquent tribute to the integrity, citizenship and public service of the dead statesman. The church could not accommodate half those assembled to pay their tri- bute of respect but they followed to the Greenwood cemetery where the body was laid tn rest

WILSON PLEASED BY TRIP THRU
 MIDDLE WESl
President Convinced That People With, Him in Pre-
 paredness Policy.

On board President Wilson's train, Columbus, O., Feb. 3.-President Will son is in the happiest frame of mind he has been in a long time. Although completely worn out by six strenuous days of travelling and speech making, he displayed nothing but jubilatiOn tonight. 'F sSl%
 The president is firmly convinced that the Middle West is now wide awake to the need of immediate pre- paredness. He is also positive that the people of that section will make their position clear to their repre- sentatives in congress and that the administrations plans for increasing the army and navy, or a substitute along the same lines, will be adopted
 It is still undecided whether MT. Wilson will make another trip. The presidents advisers are urging him to do so at once. They especially want him to swing through the South ern states, where opponents of pre- paredness have been making a cam paign. They agree that the West is thoroughly aroused. and that the de- fense program will be supported by that section. But they say that pacificist speakers have made an inn pression in the South and they are insistent that the president tour that section. It is unlikely MT. Wilson will make decision until he has cleared up the official business that has piled up in Washington during his absence.

WALLS WILL APPEAL.
Attorneys for Negro Say Statement
 That House Ambushed Erroneous

Attorney H. K. Toney, who, with Caldwell & Triplett, represents Stew Walls, negro, held for the killing of John House near the Main street pike several months ago, states that ne will immediately file motion with the supreme court for a writ Of certiorari fer the purpose of having reviewed the habeas corpus proceed ings before Circuit Judge w. B. Sor- Tells who entered an order Wednes- day, denying bail to Walls.
 MT. T2ney states that the state- ment in Thursdays issue Of The Graphic to the effect that House was pushed is incorrect; that the testi- mony shows that the deceased and Walls met. in the very center of the public road. "Walls going in an op- posite direction from the house of the deceased, and the deceased going in the direction of Walls house at the time of the killing"
 MT. Toney declares that Walls, through his attorneys, has insisted on trial since he was indicted, and that when given opportunity will have a complete defense to the charge against him.
 Walls was committed to jail by Justice of the Peace l.. F. Cheek on Octcber 8, 1915, and has been i'm. prisoned since that time.

NIMM0NS PLANT PURCHASED BY
 H. A. BENNETT
Heading Factory Will Be Enlarged, Giving Employ
 1nent to 15O Men.

The local plant of the w. B. Nim- mons company, recently purchased by the Merchants &Planters' bank, was sold by the bank yesterday to H. A. Bennett of Ridgewood, N. J., head of the H. A. Bennett Heading company, which now operates big heading plant at Rector. The consideration was about $22,5OO, and MT. Bennett took immediate possession.
 Announcement of the cOnpletion of the deal was made last night by MT. Bennett, who said the final papers ware signed late yesterday afternoon. MT. Bennett also an- nounced that within the next five or six months the greater part of the machinery in the plant at Rector will be moved here and installed at the local plant, increasong the capacity of the plant, and adding a new de- partment, which will manufacture circle heads out of gum timber. The Rector mill has several months work yet, and as soon as this is completed the mill will virtually be removed to Pine Bluff.
 MT. Bennett came to Pine Bluff about il years ago and built the mill he purchased yesterday. The com pany originally was the Nimmons & Bennett company. Following the death of MT. Ninmons. the mill was purchased by H. B. Bell, and since MT. Bells death about three years ago the mill has not been operated to its full capacity.
 For some time past, the mill has been operated by R. A. Culpepper, who has rented the mill for two weeks or more from MT. Bennett, in order to complete the running Out of lot of headings now in the dry kilns.
 The mill has a capacity of 4,50O "sets." or 5000 headings, per day, and will employ about 150 men when operated full time to it's capacity. Mr. Bennett said last night he intends to operate the mill full tlme' The mill was one of the flrst m the country to manufacture circle neads fer tight barrells, and the Bennett Heading caupany is one of the largest manufacturers of gum circle head ings in the country at this time.
 F. s. Swisher, son-in-law of MT. Bennett. is in charge of the plant az Rector. and will move to Pine Blur within the next five or six weeks, to |take charge of the plant here.
 MT. Bennett last night paid conpn- ment to the chamber Of commerce and secretary E. B. Bloom, frc,n whom he said, he had received muca , information of value: and who nad given him considerable assistance n carrying out his plans to purchase the local plant and operate it at it's full capacity.

RIVER FALLS HERE
 AFTER REACHING
 STAGE 29.5 FEET
No Indications That Local Situation Will Change
 for Several Days.

With a maximum stage of 29.5 feet, the Arkansas river is now falling, and at rapid rate, the fall yesterday and until g o'clock last night being something like 6 or inches.
 A material change in the physical conditions existing in the submerged sections of the city was noticeable last evening, but it will not be possi- ble before tomorrow night or Sunday. even with a continuance of the rapid rate of fall, for very many of the refugees to return to their homes, without suffering considerable dis comfort and without being subject to illness caused by the dampness and the unsanitary conditions which are certain to prevail.
 The flood has come and is going, after establishing new high record stage here. It is estimated that until the Mississippi river beings falling, there will be continuance here of a considerable quantity of water on the streets. Once the Mississippi be- gins falling, however, the flood wa ters will run off rapidly, not only from Pine Bluff, but from the sections south of the city, now also overflow ed.
 It is not believed there will be any resumption of street car traf- fic through East Second and East Sixth avenues until perhaps Monday or Tuesday. So rapid fall of water is not anticipated, despite the fact that the breaks south of Pine Bluff are letting vast quantities of water out of the river bed.
 The weather forecast calls for gen. erally fair weather except in Okla homa, where it will be partly cloudy. Rains are likely through the upper Arkansas valley within the next few days, although the forecast for very cold weather may prevent the precip- itation from adding vast volumes of water to the floodwaters already in the Arkansas river.
 There is virtually no possibility of the High school, Riverside school, First Ward school or Missouri Street school, resuming operations until the middle of next week-some of them perhaps not even then. The water yesterday was about feet deep in the basement .of the High school which is troubled with backwater only. The other schools are sur round by flooded streets, sidewalks and yards.
