turned back to his work with a des-

EFFORTS BEING MADE TO

Mayor Shannon is in receipt of a
letter stating that Mr.. L. Ochs, head
of the Travellers Association, is
making an effort to have the ske-
dule of Train No. 5 of the Southern
Pacific changed, leaving New Or
at GAS a. m. instead of the present
hour of departure, 5:55 a. m.
Train No. formerly left New Or
leans at GAS a. M, but on request
of the citizens Of Morgan City the
hour was changed to the present
skedule which permits this train to
reach this point at 9:29 a. m. This
skedule has proven very advanta-
geous for the people of Morgan
City as it permits the many who
have court business and other af-
fairs to look after in Franklin to
reach there in time to transact their
business and return on Train No. 6
or Train No. 10. Mayor Shannon is
acting in the matter as he under
stands the people would have him
act and he will do everything in his
power to keep in force the present
skedule on Train No. 5.

The journey to New York from

So the Romeolike Freneau went
with his Falstafflan partner. They
haunted the promenade of the box
holders, wishing to be seen in ex-
pensive company.
CHANGING over the balustrade, Ere
neau caught sight Of Lois mounting
the stairs with her husband. She was
looking for him, and he smiled back
at her with stinted grace. He did not
notice that on the other stairway Of
the big double zigzag Pierpont Stat
ford was coming up with vision Of
young loneliness at his side. He did
not know Gloria saw him. He did not
gee her clutch her fathers arm and
almost swoon with delight.
He might have observed all this and
still not have suspected who the girl
was, for the Gloria he had found In
squaw costume in the everglades, the
Gloria who had exchanged vows with
him on the veranda of the Poinciana,
the Gloria who had waved farewells
to him from the receding train five
years ago, had all but receded from
his memory. What recollection he
had Of her was Of little sixteen-year-

The American, who had come from

and desired to see everything.
After the customary sights had
been shown, the priest who attended
him asked:

EvANCELINE

Dorothy Dalton and Howard Hick-
man are co-stars in "The Jungle
Child" Triangle-Ince feature from
the pen of Monte M. Katterjohn,
which will be seen at the Evangeline

this is the first instance in which
they have appeared opposite each

"The Jungle Child" is a weird dra-

REPLIES 10 HAYS
 ON I2-M|Ll TAX COOK ISSUES STATEMENT State Superintendent Declares that Amendment Will Make No
 Raise in Taxes.

Little Rock, May 10.-That Govern or Hays, in his long-distance tele- phone speech to the Arkansas Press Association Monday night at TeXar- kama shows he is misinformed con- cerning the purchase of school SUD- plies, at least, in substance was a statement of George B. Cook, state superintendent of public instruction yesterday.
 Governor Hays told the Arkansas editors he is opposed to the proposed constitutional amendment which would provide a 12-mill school tax levy, as a maximum, to replace the present seven-mill maximum.
 The effort to secure constitutional amendments, so that local school dis tricts can vote any tax up to 12 mills" said Mr. Cook last night. twas inaugurated by the School Directors Association of Arkansas.
 "After thorough discussion in meeting in Little Rock in 1913 and 1914 attended by delegates from each board of school directors it was de- clded that fl is necessary to have the limit at 12 mills instead of at any other figure.
 "The voting of the 12-mill amend ment constitutes no raise of taxes at all. but merely makes it permissible for the voters of any school district to vote whatever sum in their iudg- ment is necessary to run their schools, provided they do not exceed 12 mills
 Experience shows in this state that despite the fact that the consti- tution was amended some dozen years ago permitting the increase from five to seven mills to be voted, many dis trlcts, even up to the present time, do not vote a mill tax at all, but de pend upon the state apportionment to run their schools. Hundreds of dis tricts vote less than the maximum limit of seven mills now.
 "All such districts would not be af- fected by the change Only districts that are in sore need of additional school funds would vote this 12-mill levy. Many of these districts that would vote it would use the funds to pay off sinking fund deficits created by expenditures for better school buildings.
 Arkansas stands practically at the foot of the educational column in money expended per pupil. The gov ernor says Everyone must stand for better schools, and that we need to improve our educational interests
 How are we going to do it? suspect directors are quite as well informed as to the things that are necessary to conduct schools as our honorable governor"

OKLAHOMA EASY FOR ARK. NORMAL LOCALS VlC1ORS, 10 10 Z Coner Mathews Bests Payne in Tues
 days Game-Series Now
 Stands One All.

Johnnie Payne's saliva shoots fail ed to baffle Coach Dan Estes base ball team yesterday afternoon, and, as a result, Arkansas Normal smear ed it all over the teachers from Edmond, Okla, beating them 10 to 2. It was easy picking for Conor Mathews, the home teams pitcher. He allowed only five hits-all singles and no batter was able to connect safely more than once. And he says he didn't half try!
 The game was slow, due to the ire quency of miscues and the lack of pep in the players. The contest drag ged along through two hours. Busi- ness picked up, however, in the latter innings and the clash resembled a real ball game. Only small crowd turned out.
 Our boys nicked Payne for II hits, which counted for IS bases. Johnne's generosity also helped to get him into trouble. He shooed four of Mathews pals to first base.
 Oklahoma should have been goose egged, as both their runs were direct results of bobbles In only one inning, the third, were the visitors able to cross the pan. In this frame, Bill Jones led off with a single. Payne followed with an infeld hit to third, advancing Jones a peg. Mathews begged wild to second to catch Jones mapping, and the runner raced home, Payne taking third. Payne tallied on J. Legg's error. There was no more scoring for the Oklahomans after that roul l.
 The home guard tied the score in the third. With one down, Mathews got to first on Mitchell's error and stole second. Jess Legg grounded to first who begged to third to catch Mathews ,and both runners were safe Legg stole second. Barnes threw to third to catch Mathews. The third baseman muffed and the local pitcher darted for home, but was caught out Douglas Legg grounded to short who threw to third to catch Jess, and both were safe. Douglas pilfered second. Moore singled and the Legg brothers ccored
 After that stanza, Coach Estes boys found difficulty scoring.
 Douglas Legg hit a home run to right field in the eighth, following J. Legg's triple to the same place.
 The third and final game of the series is being played this afternoon. The Oklahomans depart tonight.

 FAULKNER NEGRO

Governor Hays yesterday granted pardon to Will Simms, negro con- victed in Faulkner circuit court two years ago on a charge. of assaulting Gertie Hollingshead, a 16-year- white. girl. Simms was convicted along with seven other negroes on similar charges. The negroes were convicted on the testimony of the girl, who, after entering a Hot Springs convent, appeared before Judge Eugene Lankford and retract- ed all her testimony, declaring it to be false. All of the negroes convict ed at the time except Simms' wife, Louvida Simms, and Robert Threet have now been pardoned.

COURT DECIDES ONE
 COFFIN WAS ENOUGH
DisallOws Favre's Claim Against Bettie MOsley Estate-Casket
 BOthers Negroes.

That one coffin was sufficient for the burial of Aunt" Bettie Mosley, an aged negro woman who died here last June, was the decision rendered today by Probate Judge J. w. Holt, in disallowing a claim of about S38 filed against the woman's estate by Julius Favre, local undertaken. When Aunt" Bettie died last sum mer relatives summoned Undertaken J. A. Pence. On his arrival, how ever, he found that Undertaken Favre had already prepared the corpse and placed it in a casket, claiming that the old woman made arrangements with him to perform the last rites for her. Undertaken Pence, however, removed the body, placed it in one of his own collins and proceeded with the funeral. Favre filed a claim in probate court for his services and the casket furnished, but the court had already approved the settlement of the eXecutor who had paid Fences account, and he held that it would be improper to pay for two coffins for the same corpse.
 In the meantime the coffin re- mained in the house left vacant when Aunt" Bettie died, and it was a cause of much nervousness upon the part of the colored citizens liv- ing in that neighborhood. Sheriff w. w. Bishop said he had had frequent appeals to remove the casket.
