TO INSTALL PHONES
IN ANCIENT HOTELS

Little Rock, Dec 4.-State officials
of the Southwestern Telegraph &
Telephone Company have just ap-
proved a contract which will be of
interest to the travelling public of the
entire United States, and many parts
of other countries. The contracts
calls for the installation of telephones
in every room of the Arlington and
Eastman hotels in Hot Springs Over
$50 telephones will be connected with
the private exchange in the Arlington
and 600 at the Eastman.
These two hotels, probably the best
known resort hotels of the world
were distinctive through their old
fashioned arrangements, but the man
agement has at last given way to the
march of progress, and the installa-
tion of these exchanges, given Hot
Springs the credit for having more
exchanges than any other city of the
west. All the larger hotels in Hot
Springs will now have telephones in
each room. with private exchange
in the hotel The Great Northern
hotel contracted for the telephones on
the day after the Arlington and
Eastman contracts were signed.

problem of ringers" athletes given
slnecures at school in order to get
their services on the baseball or foot

we are not seeking to antagonize or
disrupt any other association" said
Coach Brannon of the Jonesboro Ag-
gies. eve believe that a college as
sociation headed by college men can
better supervise college athletics than
can high school authorities There is
considerable difference between high
school and college athletics. We pro
pose to have the presidents of the
various colleges take part in the
council of the new organization in
stead of representatives, if possible,
We also propose to copy our bylaws
and constitutions from those of the
Big Nine and the Missouri Valley
conferences, as far as possible"

COURT D|SMISSES
BURGLARY CHARGE

A charge Of burglary against Frank
Garland was dismissed in the court of
Justice G. M. Easterwood after a
preliminary hearing this afternoon.
Garland was alleged to have entered
the New York Bargain Store on East
Oak street on the night of November
26 and stolen an overcoat, suit of
clothes, four skirts, a cloak and a
suitcase. The suitcase containing the
goods is said to have been found un-
der the bed in room occupied by
Garland at the boarding house of
Armstrong Keathley. Garland had
formerly been employed as a sales
man in the store. He denied the
charge and the court held that the
evidence was insufficient to warrant
holding him to the grand jury.

NEW ASSOCIATION
MEETS DECEMBER 9
COLLEGES TO ORGANIZE
Movement Started Here by Coaches
Estes and BrannOn to be Completed

Jonesboro, Dec. 3.-Plans for tn,
organization of a new athletic associ
alton of all colleges in Arkansas will,
be discussed at meeting at the Mer-
chants hotel in Little Rock on De
cember at 2.30 p m.
Representative of five colleges, in
cluding the presidents of one or tive
of the institutions, have give mas
surance they will attend. The schools
to be represented are the Jonesboro
Agricultural School, Jonesboro;
Ouachita College, Arkadelphia; State
Normal School, Conway; Cumberland
College, Clarksville, and Arkansas
College at Batesville.
Little Rock College at Little Rock
has been invited to have a representa-
tive and Hendrix College at Conway
and Henderson-Brow at Arkadelphia
will be invited to have representa-
tive present.
The first five named schools are not
members of any association. Hendrix
and Henderson Brown are members
of the Arkansas Athletic Association,
of which some of the other schools
have been members at various times
The status of Little Rock College is
uncertain. The football team of that
school has played both members and
nonmembers of the A. A. A, although
that organization's rules prohibit
member teams from playing nonmem-
bers.
Coach Dan Estes of the State Nor
NAL and Coach Earl w. Brannon of
the Jonesboro Aggies are moving
spirits in the new organization. The
movement for the new association is
the result, it is said, of dissatisfac-
ton over rules of the A. A. A. regard
ing eligibility of members of ath-
letic teams in having college athletics
controlled by high school represen-
tatves, who are in the majority in
the councils of the A. A. A. 1t also
is charged that certain colleges have
been Disseminated against in the A.
A. AS alleged policy in 'whitewash-
ing" athletes in certain schools OF
the charge of playing baseball for
money in vacation and refusing to
whitewash students in other schools
for the same violation.
1t is not unlikely that the proposed
organization will not bar the play
ing of baseball for money so long as
the student meets other requirements
At any rate the eligibility rules will
be given the most earnest study If
the new association is formed. An

LITTLE ROCK POLL
TO BREAK RECORD
MAYOR RACE EXCITING
Odds Favor Taylor the Incumbent. in
Municipal Primary at Capital
City Today.

Little Rock, Dec. 3.-Excitement is
more intense in Little Rock today
than it would be possible in a mere
state or county election. While the
big contest is the mayorality race,
between Chas. f. Taylor, the incum-
bent, and who seeks a fourth term,
and Dan Daniels, grain dealer, con-
siderable interest is displayed in the
choice of city Democratic committee
man.
Chas. f. Taylor has made Little
Rock a most energetic mayor, in fact
too energetic for certain factions, and
this has resulted in most bitter
fight against him The Jew vote,
which is large in Little Rock, is not
solidly behind their candidate, but
Daniel is receiving much greater
vote among the Gentiles than he is
losing among the Jews. Both can
didates have evidently endeavored to
keep racial feeling out of the contest,
in spite Of the fact that personalities
have been freely indulged in during
the closing days OF the contest.
The largest vote in the history of
Little Rock will no doubt be polled,
for the friends of the candidates have
every available vehicle hauling voters
to the polling precincts.
Each candidate has representation
among the election officials, so there
will hardly be charges of fraud, no
matter which candidate wins the nom
ination.
What bets have been made have
been with odds on Taylor, but there
has been considerable Daniel money
in sight during the past few days
which indicates the hackers of the
administrations figure they are
going to win.

COTTON AND SEED
BOTH TAKE SLUMP

Both cotton and cottonseed took a
tumble on the local market today, al
though such little quantity of either
was marketed that few were affected
by the decline. Nineteen and three
quarter cents was about the "top''
for cotton this afternoon, against 20
IA cents paid for the same grade
Saturday. The break in cottonseed
amounted to $5 per ton and was the
biggest change of the present season.
Seed is quoted at $55 per ton today,
against $50 Saturday, although one or
two loads are reported to have sold
at $50 to $57 per ton. The futures
market in cotton today is only slight
ly lower than that of Saturday, but
the Conway market had not followed
previous heavy declines in futures.

SEEKING
GIRLS MURDERER
TRAGEDY NEAR AMBOY
Unknown Brute Cuts Throat and
Crushes Head of Johanna Hess, 15-
Year-Old Daughter of Farmer.

All Faulkner county officers since
midnight Saturday have been on a
close watch for the unknown brute
who killed Johanna Hess, 15-year- old
daughter of farmer living near
Amboy, six miles northwest Of Little
Rock, on the Little Rock and Conway
road, Saturday afternoon 1t was an
nounced today that a big reward will
be offered for the catpure of the
girls murderer and posses numbering
several hundred men are following
every possible clue in an effort to eff
feet his capture.
The girls body was found shortly
before midnight Saturday by posse
of 100 residents of Levy, about two
miles from her home. Her throat was
cut and her head horribly crushed
The appearance of the body indicated
that she had fought desperately tc
save her life.
The officers believe that her assail-
ant tried to assault her and being un-
successful, killed her.
The girl left her home Saturday
morning shortly before 10 o'clock for
Argenta to make some purchases.
About p. m. the mule which she
had been driving came home without
the wagon. Her parents Immediately
began a search. They found the
wagon lodged against tree about
two miles from the home. In it was
an old model .38-caliber revolver,
pieces of the girls dress and other
evidence of a struggle They were
unable to find any trace of the girl,
and after searching three hours, mott
fled the police.
Several hundred citizens of Argenta
and Levy, deputy sheriffs from Sheriff
Hutton's Office and the police force of
Argenta, aided by two blosdhounds
from Newport, spent all Sunday
searching for the girls assailant with
out success. A telephone message
from Argenta today stated that the
officers have yet failed to discover a
clew and it is believed that the mur-
derer has succeeded in making his
escape.
