MAN is BURNED TO
DEATH AT NEWPORT
Pilot on Boat Operated by Geo.
II. Holderby Loses Life
When Boat Burns

Will Brown. aged %, was
burned to death at Newport
when the steamer Lottie was
destroyed by fire Monday ev-
ening as the result of an explo-
sion.
Brown was horribly burned
about the head, face, arms and
back and died Tuesday morn
ing.
Mrs. Brown was badly burn
ed but it is thought that she
will recover. Mr.. and Mrs.
Brown had been married only
two weeks. He was pilot and
engineer on the boat, which
was leased and operated by
George Holderby of this place.
The tragedy occurred when
Brown lighted the torch of the
crude oil engine preparatory
to making a trip up the river.
Mr.. Holderby came on the
boat and told Brown to extin-
guish the torch, as they could
not leave until they secured
some ice.
Brown attempted to extin
guish the torch on the engine
and some Of the fire fell to the
floor of the boat and ignited
a piece of cork. He picked up
the cork and tried to throw it
out of a window, but the cork
fell in a five-gallon coal oil
can which contained about
three gallons of oil. The ex-
plosion followed, the engine
room being covered almost i'm
mediately by the flames. The
fire spread quickly, the cloth
ing of Mr.. and Mrs. Brown be-
coming ignited, and their eff
forts to escape were futile.

SAVES KELLY FROM
THE ELECTRIC CHAIR
Newport Man Sentenced to Die
For Murder Gets Comnu-
tation of Sentence

Tuesday morning Governor
Brough committed the death
sentence of Chess Kelley, sem
fenced to die IN the electric
chair on June % for the muir
der of H. A. Harmon at New
port on June 8, 1917, to life
Imprisonment.
The Rev. T. D. Brown of
the First Baptist church, Little
Rock, Mrs. J. E. Farmer Of
Newport, mother of Kelley,
and Mrs Rudd, social worker
Of Little Rock were instrument
tai in securing the action of
the governor.
In issuing the Communication,
Governor Brough said that al
though Kelley's crime was
without provocation, he, the
governor, had been beseiged by
a number Of the leading citi-
zens of the state to commute
the sentence that eleven of the
jurors who convicted Kelley
had signed a petition for com
mutation; that the jury which
found Kelley guilty did not fix
the death penalty. but left it
to the court, which had no dis
cretion; that Kelley had stood
by the officers Of the prison at
a critical time and had aided
them under circumstances
which probably saved their
lives, and that these facts, con-
sidered in connection with the
youth of the prisoner, had in
flueneed him in committing the
sentence to life Imprisonment.
The governor stated, how
ever, that as long as he was
governor there would be no
further intervention in the case
and that he believes Kelley
should serve a life imprison-

STRICT REGULATIONS
ON use OF SUGAR
New Ruling Affecting all Class
es Goes Into Effect Next
Monday, July

Little Rock, June 25.-Nev-
er in the history of the United
States has the government tax
en- greater precautions to con-
troll the sale of sugar than is
used in the new rationing plan
for this product, which has
been received from the United
States food administration, at
Washington, by Hamp Will
liams, federal food administra-
tor for Arkansas, and by him
made public today.
Under the new regulations
everyone buying sugar must
have certificate, which can
only be obtained from the
state food administrator. Re-
finers are not permitted to sell
to iobbers or wholesalers un-
less the latter have made prop
er application and been grant
ed a certificate.
Hotels, restaurants, and pub
lie eating places must also have
the sugar certificate. Bakers
are also put in the certificate
class before they can buy sug-
ar. Retailers must get a GER
tificate before they can buy
sugar from iobbers or whole
salers.
Sugar certificates, it is an
nouneed, will be issued only
for the July allotment. This
is due to the shortage of sugar
and to prevent overerowding
of sugar refineries.
