Business Agent Rice Makes State.
ment That Bosses Broke Faith in
Refusing to Meet With Men.

According to statement made to-
day by J. P. Rice, business agent for
the Painters union, the master paint
ers have broken faith with the men and
the consequence is that the strike is
no nearer settlement today than it was
last week
We asked for a meeting with the
bosses for Thursday OF last week, ;"
said Mr. Rice. The master painters
stated that the time of notice was too
short, but that d called meeting would
be held Friday On that day the bosses
failed TO meet with US to discuss the
situation. The union men will hold
another meeting tomorrow night. Only
a small majority of the master paint
ers in Rock Island has signed the new
scale, but in Moline and Davenport the
unions have Jared better The paint
ers had been receiving 50 cents an
hour in an eight-hour day under the
old scale and they are asking an in
crease of 10 cents an hour"

DAM AND LIZZIE
 TAX HALF PAID

Tuesday was the last day on which to pay the special taxes in the de- funct Cadron Dam and Levee Dis trict, under the order of chancery court making the assessment, and Receiver w. B. Wilson said today that only about half the taxes had been paid. A movement was inaugu- rated last week by J. H. Cunningham of Enola to contest the payment of the tax, but so far as known no legal steps in that direction have yet been taken. Attorney J. c. Clark, repre- senting the estate of George H. Burr, for whose engineering services the tax is being collected, said today the books would remain open until time for the receiver to make his report to chancery court, which meets the fourth Monday in this month. At that session it is expected the court will make an order foreclosing the lien upon all property on which the special assessment has not been paid.

 BY OFFICERS.

Houston, Feb. 28.-Lena Braziel, a pretty blonde, 22 years old, who lived with her stepmother, one mile from Houston, is in the custody of Sheriff Allen at Perryville following her ap- pearance Friday before coroner's jury and a township justice of the peace Saturday. Officers arrested her for investigation immediately fol- lowing the discovery of the body of seven-weeks-old baby girl near Hous- ton.
 Miss Braziel refused, officers say, to testify before the jury empaneled by the coroner, R. T. Clayton, and waived examination when arraigned by the justice, but she emphatically denies any knowledge of the babe.
 Officers say that two days ago a dog brought the headless body of a babe to the doorstep of one of Miss Braziels neighbors. The find was submitted to the county judge. He or dered an investigation.
 Before the coroner's jury, empan- eled Friday, at least six witnesses testified Miss Braziel was among the number summoned. Sheriff Allen says she was the only person who refused to testify.
 Dr. Hinkle of Little Rock testified, according to officers, that a young girl came to the city hospital at Lit tie Rock on the morning of January and gave birth to baby girl that day. He said she told the hospital authorities that she was married and that her home in Carlisle. Continu- ing his tes:.:;-:.cnv Dr. Hinkle told the jury. according to Coroner Clayton, that Miss Braziel was the woman who gave birth to the child at the hospital.
 Upon recommendation of the jury, Sheriff Allen took Miss Braziel into custody.
 Sheriff Allen says that early Sat urday morning he took her before a magistrate and that she again de- clineG to be questioned. The justice ordered her held for the grand jury.
 There is no charge against Miss Braziel at this time. Sheriff Allen says she was ordered held by the cor oner's jury. He also says that the testimony of pr. Hinkle, the absence of Miss Braziel from Houston for several weeks and her refusal to tes- tify prompted the action of the jury
 Miss Braziel denies pr. Hinkle's story of her trip to Little Rock and says she did not give birth to baby according to Sheriff Allen.
 When officers took charge of the body of the baby at the home of a Houston resident it was headless Otherwise the body was intact. They traced the path of the dog back to a pine thicket. They say that there they found hole in the ground from which the body had been scratched out by the dog.

 TRICAL SHOCK.
From Mondays DAiD.


 Carroll Lindsey, negro, 19 years old, who lives with his father, w. M. Lindsey, one and one-half miles east of Conway, was seriously injured when a bolt of lightning struck the home during a sleet storm at 5 o'clock this morning.
 The elder Lindsey and his wife and six children were sitting around stove when the accident occurred. The lightning struck the chimney, following it to the floor, which was splintered. Carroll, who was sitting in it's path, sustained injuries which may necessitate the amputation of his right foot, according to Dr. H. E. Cureton, the attending physician. The sole of his shoe was completely removed by the lightning, the upper remaining as it was. The bottom of his foot was laid open and the bones shattered. Fourteen pieces were re- moved. Carroll also was burned about the face
 Young Lindsey was just recovering from an accident which occurred a month ago at the Conway Cotton Oil and Gin Company's plant, when his left arm was almost torn from his body when he was caught in a shaft. The other members of the family were only stunned by the bolt.

From Saturdays Daily.
 Conway, its past, present and fu- ture, was the theme of an interesting meeting held last night at Central College under the auspices of the eight federated women's clubs of the city. An audience which filled the auditorium was present and the oc- casion was so enjoyable and profita- ble that there was a unanimous opin- ion that it should be made an annual event.
 Mrs. Joseph Frauenthal, former president of the Arkansas Federation of Women's Clubs, very charmingly presided at the meeting, Mrs. Anna H. Pittman serving as secretary. The program was carried out exactly as published in the Log Cabin Democrat. After delightful selections by the Central College orchestra and glee clubs, a brief history of Conway, written by Mrs. P. H. Prince, who came here in the early days of the town, was read by her daughter, Mrs Pittman.

Punch was dispensed by several of the young lady students of the college.
 The hit of the evening was the song, Arkansas" which was sung by Mrs J. w. Barnett of Little Rock it's author and composer. The music is catchy and tuneful and the words patriotic and inspiring. Mrs. Frau enthal stated that it would probably be adopted as the official state song by the federation and later by the legislature.
