FAYETTEVILLE'S K. K.
 CASE BEFORE COUR!
College Town May Enjoy Privi- lege of Two Trunk Lines Commercial Club and Business Interests Apply Commission.

Little Rock, Jan. I'm Federal court here today the question of whe- ther Fayetteville is to enjoy the priv ileges of two trunk lines, or remain at the mercy of the Frisco railroad, is being fought out. It is the application of the St. Louis X San Francisco rail road against the Arkansas Railroad Commission, for a restraining order to enjoin a Commission order requir- ing an interchange of cars by the Frisco and Kansas City and Memphis railroads at Fayetteville.
 The railroads are muchly represent ed about the court room, General Su- perintendent Levy, Traffic Manager Middleton, Chief Engineer Jack Fay Tor, Agent McNair of Fayetteville, and a number of lesser officials of the Fris- co are among those present to testify for that railroad. General Manager Roscoe Conklin Hobbs, of the Kansas City and Memphis, and number of prominent citizens of Fayetteville will testify for the Arkansas Railroad Commission and the business inter- ests of that city. Judge John M. Moore of Little Rock and Col. B. s. Davidson of Fayetteville represent the Frisco in a legal way, while Dick Rice general counsel for the Kansas City &Memphis, of Bentonville, and Judge James F. Read of Fort Smith, repre- senting the receivers for this railroad, will also represent the Arkansas Rail- road Commission.
 The Kansas City X Memphis rail road connects Fayetteville with the Kansas City Southern railroad at Siloam Springs. The large business interests of Fayetteville are located along the Frisco tracks. The Freight depot and terminals of the Kansas City X Memphis in Fayetteville are a mile or more form these establish ments. The Frisco has refused to ac- cept cars brought into Fayetteville via the aKnsas City and Memphis for switching to the establishments on the Frisco tracks.
 The Commercial Club of Fayetteville and the business interests took the matter before the Arkansas Railroad Commission, which issued an order re- quiring the Frisco to handle the cars from the Kansas City X Memphis, on the customary interchange basis. The Frisco still declined to accept the cars and brought application for a res training order in the Federal court. It is alleged that the order of the Ark ansas Railroad Commission would in terfere with interstate commerce, and also that the Arkansas Railroad Com mission has no jurisdiction over the Frisco, which is in the hands of re- ceiver appointed by the Federal court.
 The citizens of Fayetteville are fighting this case hard, and have al ready taken considerable testimony, which was placed before the Inter- State Commerce Commission. The claim that if .the Frisco is forced to switch cars brought in by the K. c. X s. that it will give them the same ad vantages as being on competing trunk lines. thus giving them better service and less rates.

While only few members were present yesterday afternoon at the Baptist Church, there was a good pro gram rendered and some work out lined for the future.
 The sketch of Neal Dow read by Mrs. Young, proved that the prohi- bition work fell into the hands of one adequately equipped in education, financial ability, moral stamina and physical endurance to bring it to the glorious success to which it came.
 The Prohibition states and the time of their adoption of the measure made quite a show as the long line of the nineteen states was drawn across the platform.

Wesleyan and Davis and Elltins. Beth
any under the coaching of Fred Hey

strong front. Bethany has good ma
terial this year and with Heyman maxi
ing the men work something should
be shown on Buffalo creek that will
keep Metzger's huskies working. These
two initial games do not size UP, then,
as being particularly strenuous. but

Still HOP |NC TO
GET BUILDING PLAN
ADMINISTRATION WANTS CON-
GREss TO ASSURE MANY AD.
DITIoNs TO NAVY.

Washington, D. c., May 10. Admin
istratiOn officials were confident today
that congress would provide satisfac-
tory naval building program, despite
the fact that the house naval commit
tee in it's agreement yesterday aban-
doned the five year program as recon-.
mended by President Wilson and Sec
retary Daniels.
Officials were particularly disap-
pointed at the action of the committee
in providing for all battle cruisers and
they believe that some dreadnoughts
are necessary.
1t was generally understood today
that congress would be pressed for a
program that would include at least
two dreadnoughts, together with four
battle cruisers.
Formal announcement by Majority
Leader Kitchin that he would not op-
pose the program as provided for in
the naval appropriation bill completed
by the committee yesterday is consid-
cred significant, in view Of the fact
that he has been opposed to the ad-
ministrations preparedness measures.
Mr.. Kitchin declared that the bill was
satisfactory to him and that he might
make a speech in favor Of it.
It was regarded as likely today that
the bill would be taken up for consider.

some Of the leaders do not look for

tional conventions.

IS BEING WRITTEN
STRONG PLANS ON PREPARED
NESS AND ON PROTECTIVE
TARIFF PLANNED.

Chicago, May 19.-Preparation of
the republican platform which will be
submitted to the national convention
of the party for adoption next month,
has been begun, according to word
brought here by Fred W. Upham,
chairman of the local committee on
arrangements for the convention, who
returned from New York today after a
conference with Chairman c. D. Hilles,
and other members of the republican
national committee.
Strong planks favoring Americanism
military preparedness and protective
tariff for the protection of American
Industries, it is said, will be among the
important subjects considered by those
who are drafting the party platform.
The plank on Americansm and mill
tary preparedness will, it Is declared,
be sufficiently strong to meet every
reasonable demand of progressive re-
publicans, according to reports receiv-
ed here. 1t is said that prominent pro-
gressives who have recently returned
to the republican party will be con-
suited before the finishing touches are
put on these sections Of the platform.

INDICATE LINE Of
CLIENTS DEFENSE
CLAIM IS MADE THAT MARION
LAMBERT THREATENED TO
COMMIT SUICIDE.

Waukegan, nl.. May 19.-Examina-
ton of prospective Jurors will again
occupy the day at the trial of VIII
Orpet, the University Of Wisconsin
student accused Of the murder OF
Marion Lambert. Yesterdays sessions
were retrogressive insofar as securing
OF jurymen was concerned, for when
court opened in the morning there
were four Jurors in the box who had
been tentatively accepted by both sides
and when the days work ended but
three remained and two of those have
been accepted only by one side. Len
Bartell of Antioch, nl., foreman In an
ice plant, Is the lone man in the fury
box accepted by both sides. The
state has used four Of its peremptory
challenges and the defense five.
A letter said to have been written by
Miss Lambert to Orpet few days be-
fore her death last February may be
the point of evidence upon which the
defense Of the student may hinge. This
fact was made public yesterday by
James H. Wilkerson, Orpet's chief
counsel. The letter, according to the
attorney, drew Orpet from Madison to
Lake Forest on the day before the
girls death, for in 1t she had threaten
ed self destruction. The defense con-
tends that It was in answer to this let
ter that Orpet wrote the note said to
be in possession of the prosecution in
which the student said: Don't do any
thing desperate until I arrive"
Mr. Wilkerson said he was not at
liberty to say what reason the girl ad.
vanced for self destruction. He also
refused to say whether the girls let
ter was still in existence but stated
that Orpet will testify as to the letter
when he is called to the witness stand.
It Is felt that on this letter, If it's ex-
istence can be substantiated, the de.
tense will have strong chance Of &C.
quittal. With the announcement that
the letter had been written threaten
ing suicide, the defense gave the first
1ntimation Of the lines that will be fol-
lowed in the hght to save tho young
man from conviction.
