NEGRO EXECUTION
TINE EXTENDED
Supreme Court Declines TO Take I'm
mediate Action in Case Of the Six
Elaine BIacks-Where War
den Baked.

Little Rock, June 9.--Feeling for
and against the execution Of the sly
Elaine uprising negroes, which VIZ
scheduled for Friday morning, but
held up by court actions yesterday
and today, is running high here, with
the preponderance Of feeling against
the electrocutions. The legal battle
being waged by the state in demand
ing immediate executions is further
accentuating the feeling.
AS a result of the supreme courts
refusal late today 10 grant an imme-
date writ Of prohibition, setting
aside the local chancery courts tenn
porary restraining order, execution
of the negroes is indefinitely post
poned. The chancery court case will
be heard tomorrow, and an appeal to
the supreme court will be taken inn
mediately, and from there to the
United States supreme court, II the
negroes lose.
When Chief Justice McCulloch
called the petition for writ of pro-
hibition for hearing at o'clock this
afternoon he invited the other four
Justices to sit with him and partici-
pate. Attorneys for the negroes
asked for a delay, to prepare for de-
Tense. The state argued against de-
lay, demanding that the executions
be carried out tomorrow morning, on
the grounds that the chancery court
here had no right to interfere. The
court retired after hearing arguments
for and against postponement, and
voted, and Justice McCulloch alone
voted to require an immediate hear
ing The other justices voted to de-
fer the hearing until Monday morn
ing and Justice McCulloch abided by
the majority decision.
One of the attorneys for the ne
groes had a petition for an appeal to
the United States supreme court
ready TO file had the court voted to
force an immediate hearing.
There was move on foot among
state officials this morning to have
the executions carried out Friday
morning irrespective of the local
chancery courts orders, and then to
apply to the supreme court for inn
munity of the punishment for con-
tempt of the penitentiary warden. E.
H. Dempsey, the warden, however. de-
clared he would balk should any such
plan be made, and that he not only
would refuse to execute the men, bat
would refuse to permit anybody else
executing them. He said that it would
require supreme court for him to
overstep the injunction filed against
him BY the chancery court yesterday.

FISHING LAWS IN COURT.
But Compromise Ended Litigation Be-
fore Put TO Legal Test.

What promised at first to be an ex-
cellent chance of getting an interpre-
tation of the state laws regulating
fishing was lost in Justice S. II.
Smiths court Saturday when a COM
promise was effected in the case
wherein w. T. Whittenberg was the
defendant. Mr.. Whittenberg had been
arrested charged with having placed
a FISH trap in the 0uachita river. The
law regarding the use of such devices
Is rather ambiguous and it was
thought the Whittenbcrg case would
afford chance TO threrh ,ut some of
the tangles of the legal measure.
However, the defendant arranged with
the prosecution to pay the costs of
the proceeding and the case was dis
missed without going to trial.
