A Joke on Bill


A costermonger met his friend
the other day. The friend was
convulsed with laughter, and it
was sometime before anything

NEGRO SLAYER GONE,
 NO TRACE DISCLOSED

No trace of John Dickerson, the negro who on Monday shot Will Rogers and then murdered his wife, has been uncovered in the hunt for the fugitive. Soon after the murder, Deputy Sheriff J. I. Summers and Deputy Constable J. A. King started search for the slayer, but found no trace except that he was seen going toward his house in the east part of Conway. The officers at that time thought Dickerson had shot Rogers, but were not aware of the murder of his wife. As a result, they did not prosecute their search as vigorously or for as long a time as they would have had the facts been known.

Representative Botts' bill is an echo of fight which occupied much atten- tion in the 1918 legislature, when Ar kansas county was taken from the Seventeenth and assigned to the Eleventh district, and it was charged that this fight grew out of the cam paign between Judge George W. Clark and T. c. Trimble for the place which Judge Clark now holds. The measure to transfer Arkansas county was sponsored by Senator John Moncrief, who, Judge Clark asserted, had de- clared that if Judge Clark was elect ed he would not be permitted to hold court in his (Moncrief's) county. Senator Moncrief won his battle in the legislature, but the issue went be- fore the people of Arkansas county in the primary election of last Au- gust, when Mir. Bolts made a success ful race on the pledge that he would restore Arkansas county to the Seven teenth district.

Test Cases Go Over To
 Next T errr1

Hope that test cases already car ned on through the City court in which jitneurs operating under the .'club plan'' were involved. might be hurried through Common Pleas court, to where they were taken on appeal, so tEt Superior and perhaps finally the Supreme court might pass upon them at an early date. seem to have faded with the announcement to-day by Fred W. HuXford, Stamford, Pros ccrtor of the Common Pleas court, that as far as he knew it would not be possible to reach the cases during the present term.
 This announcement will shater the hopes of many jitneurs who had be- Iieved the cases would receive early attention, and that they might not have a long period of idleness, should q decision from a higher court have been in their favor.
 The only apparent hope of an early resumption of business by jMneurS now under the ban seems to be in the coming session of the Public Utilities commission in Bridgeport. at which time the matter of petitions for addi- tional permits will be considered.
 It is possible that more buses may be allotted in Bridgeport, but there is a feeling also that the commission will not make a. nasty decision, due to the fact that the Connecticut com pany has appeals pending against more than half of the ''J'' buses that have already been given permission to run on designated routes.
