HAYS REPLIES TO
 BRVUCH'S CHARGES CHALLENGES CANDIDATE
MAKES STATEMENT AS TO MESSAGE TO LEGISLATURE
 ON LIQUOR QUESTION.

Little Rock, Feb. 17.-Gov Hays yesterday issued lengthy statement m reply to charges made against him by Dr. (. NJ. Brough, one of the can didates for governor. The governor says:
 In reference to charges made by Dr. Brough in his printed speech re- garding my relatives being employed III the different departments of the state, and that the stenographer in my office, Miss Burnside, is a rela- tive of mine 1 wish to make the doctor the following challenge:
 If Miss Burnside is related to me in any way under the sun, blood or marriage, affinity or consangunity, l will use all the influence in my power to get Mr. Hodges and Judge Smith to withdraw from the governors race and support the doctor, if he will agree, if she is not related to me in any way, to acknowledge to the peo- ple that he has told an absolute falsehood.
 "When he responds to this chal- lenge I will answer other of his charges. 1 will say, in reference to one thing, that Senator B. H. Great house, who lives in the county from which Dr. Brough is running for governor, was the senator who ad- vised me to change my recommends tions in my original message to the last legislature from the statewide prohibition to submission.
 "Also J. A. Bradsher, who has claimed to be supporting Dr. Brough was at my residence when l wrote that particular part of my message, and knows that it was written rec ommending statewide prohibition.
 "If anyone who doubts this state ment will advise with the Rev. Dr. Barret, E. J. A. Mckinney, Senator T. c. White, T. J. Raney and others who had charge of the prohibition fight, he can satisfy himself, because Senator Greenhouse told them just exactly what was said between him and myself on the subject just be- fore my original message was given to the legislature"

HENDRIX GRADUATE
 AMONG NINE KILLED
o. C. BRUTON ONE OF THOSE LOST IN MEXIA, TEXAS,
 DISASTER.

Oren Crecy Bruton, 24 years old, a member of the graduating class of 1914 at Hendrix College, was killed Wednesday night at 7 o'clock when an opera house at Mexia, Tex, col opsed. Eight others also were killed and a property damage of $75,OOO was done. The catastrophe is attrib- uted to gas explosion.
 Mir. Bruton, who was principal of the public school at Mexia, town of about 4,OOO population 30 miles east of Waco, went to the theatre to at tend an art exhibit to be given by the school. Because of the early hour, only about 30 people were in the house at the time of the accident.
 The news of MT. Bruton's untime- ly death was received here with much regret. He attended Hendrix four years, coming here from Magazine Academy, from which he graduated in 1910. He made one of the best records ever made at Hendrix. His thoroughness and efficiency was so recognized by the faculty that he was placed in charge of several classes in science, German, mathematics and Latin. Last year he taught science in Texarkana high school. He was a leader among the students, represent ing the school in a number of liter ary contests.

HODGES WINS VOTES
 IN WALDRON SPEECH
CANDIDATES ANSWERS TO CHARGES IS SATISFACTORY
 TO HEARERS.

Waldron, Feb. IA large and en- thusiastic crowd heard Earle w. Hodges, candidate for governor at the courthouse here yesterday after noon. After the speaking his friends here accompanied him to Mansfield, where he met the county candidates who are making a tour of the coun- ty. He was introduced here by Judge w. A. Bates.
 MT. Hodges urged the need for more adequate support for the boys corn and canning clubs, endorsed the farm demonstration work, and de- clared if he was elected governor he would see to it that only practical business farmers were appointed on the agricultural school boards. He favored the working of convicts on the roads of the county.
 His reference to Judge Smith, one of his opponents, was very brief. He simply said Judge Smith was run ming an imaginary race, and would not get enough votes to Wad a Smith shotgun. He charged that Judge 9mith lad practically eliminated him self from the counsels of democracy Waen he wrote to Col. H. L. Remmel, and assured him that he would vote and work for him for governor, in sp.te of the fact that Judge Smith at the time was a Democratic officer, and a Democratic nominee for re- election.
 He scored Dr. Brough for his fail ure to pay a poll tax, charged him with misrepresenting the facts in his reference to the auditing matter and the other charges he had brought against Mr. Hodges. He explained iu detail to the full and complete sat isfaction of every man who heard him, the charges that have been made against him during the campaign. Re declared that Dr. Trough was himself the machine candidate, and that the old worn out Robinson ma chine, reinforced with the federal patronage and the aid of Judge 5all5 and David Gates, and other
 aderal appointees were doing all they could to elect Trough for gov e7ncr in order to use the influence of the governors office to keep Robin son in the senate another term.
 He was literally applauded by the large crowd that heard him here, and it was freely admitted by all that he had added much to his already large following in this county ard section.
