TRAGEDY AT
HOT SPRINGS
MAN KILLS GIRL THEN FIRES
BULLET THROUGH HIS
BRAIN
TIE CAUSE A MYSTERY
Were Not Consided Sweetnearts And
Had Been With Each Other But
Very Few Times.

Hot Springs, Ark.-Elmer Jones
aged about Is, walked into the Japa
nese tea room at 366 Central Avenue
Strolled back into the kitchen where
Miss Violet Boles, waitress, aged 20,
was pl eparing sandwiches at table,
and shot her three times with an au-
tomato pistol. He then turned the
weapon on himself and fired one bull
let through his head from ear to ear
Both fell dead almost Immediately.
Temporary insanity, augmented by
Jealousy, was the only cause assigned.
Jo1cs and Misses Boles had not been
sweethearts, though she had gone
with him on several occasions. Jones
had been out of the city recently, and
returned only few days ago.
Thanksgiving afternoon Jones walk
ed into the place and had lunch and a
cup of tea, and Miss Boles waited or
him. As he started to leave, he paid
the check and left tip at the counter
for the girl.
Before the tragedy he called twice
over the telephone for the young WON
an, and she had the proprietor inform
him that she was busy and would not
answer the call.
When Jones later walked into the |
place, he said nothing. Mrs Maude |
Boston, proprietor, and an employee |
were making sandwiches. Jones push
ed open the door to the kitchen and |
started firing. The other two women
screamed and pushed past him.
The first shot he fired is believed
% have struck the girl in the front OF
he neck, severing the jugIar vein.
Two other shots were fired into her
,rostrate body, and then Jones turned
he weapon on himself, falling dead
tut few feet away.
The young girl is well connected,
nd bore splendid reputation. The
Dung mans parents live here. He
ad been travelling out of Hot Springs
ince he was discharged from the
rmy. He recently returned from De-
roit.

ective Jack Frey were on the scene |

quor A Solid Peace.

shreveport Lain addressing thu
Louisiana Methodist Conference il
session here, Reverend J. H. Rev
nolds, director general Of the educa
tional movement of the Methods,
Episcopal Church, and president oil
hendrix College, Conway, Arkansas.
declared that paganism of the mod
ern world forms the one ugly spot
IN civilization and the worlds inter.
national political situation is pagan
to the core.
1t Is much easier to win a great
war than it, is to conquer a solid
peace" declared DR.. Reynolds, quot
ing Clemenceau of France. America
IS now the host of one of the worlds
great characters. Clemenceau. the
Tiger Of France, is entitled to a warm
spot in the hearts of the American
people He has time after time
drawn his sword for the things that
are dear to the hearts of Americans.
He has fought for democracy. He
mas fought for human Justice. and
Whatever may come of his visit on
this side of the Atlantic, we will al
ways remember his statement during
the stormy period at the close of the
war that it is easier to win a great
war than it is to conquer solid peace"
THE most stubborn element in the
world is the battle for peace, not the
material battles on the fields of glory,
The world must become all Christian
or all pagan. A large element is our
world today is pagan This is not in
America, but in other lands For the
last half century the pagan element |
has grown apace. 1t would be daring |
for me to say that international re-
lations are pagan to the core, but
can safely say that the pagan ele-
ment is dominating international pol
itics.
Discussing the modern condition OF
economical and industrial life, DR..
Reynolds referred to the recent rail
way and miners strikes, and said
they were in no manner called in the
of right, nor on the princi-
pie of the brotherhood of man. Bridg-
es were burned, he said, the work
of destruction was carried on, and
Iaborers engaged in the exciting pas
time of shooting down their fellow
men.
Men were killed for trying to
earn an honest living" he said in re- :
'erring to the Herrin massacre.
These guilty men are in comfort
with the blood Of their fellow men ]
IN their hands, yet comes now to s
,ourt, not only members of their or I
,anization, but the high officials Of
heir working organizations to defend '
hem for the slaughter. Oh, if the t
organization to which they belong I
ad only repudiated them. But much
q our industrial life rests on the
rinciples of paganism, not in human =
lstice."

PEOPLE SLOW ABOUT PAYING
THEIR POLL TAX

New Orleans.-Payment of poll
taxes continues slow with a total ap-
proximately 10000 according to Jas.
Barrett, chief clerk in the poll tax
division Of the city treasurer's of
lice. Mr.. Barrett estimates that a
total of aroGnd 10000 poll taxes will,
be paid this year, which leaves TO-
600 to collect in twenty-seven days, or
an average Of more than $500 a day.
Several teachers have collected poll
taxes from their co-workers, and sent
the lists of names into the office
Miss Kinnabrew sent in fifty two
names from the Sophie Wright high
school and all the names of teachers
from the Belleview school were sent
in by Miss Alice Hart
The negro longshoremen's organiza-
eion sends in annually list of from
1900 to 1,400 names although few
of their number can vote This is
done to help the public schools. Mr..
Barrett expressed the hope that white
might follow this ex-
ample and increase the payment of
taxes as well as prevent the usual
rush at the end of December.
Participation in the next state, city |
and presidential elections will depend |
On whether poll tax payments are
made prior to December 81. All these
elections will come in 1923 and 1924.

The Foxes Find Cousin of Snapper's
BY Thornton w. Burgess
Wh1t's the good of rush and hu,vyY
They ere bat source of worry.
-Slowpoke the Box Turtle,

Paying no attention whatever to the
young Foxes, Snapper the Swapping
turtle slowly waddled straight to-
wards the Laughing Brook. When he
reached the bank he kept right on
down into the water. Watching from
the bank, the young Foxes saw him
SWIM under water short distance.
Then he thrust his head above water
Tor moment and finally went to the
bottom, where he buried himself in
the mud.
Never fool with snapniny
Turtle" warned Reddy Fox.
Isn't he good to eat 2" asked one
Of the young Foxes, who was forever
thinking of his stomach
lie might be if there was any way
Of getting him" replied Reddy. "But
you might as well try to bite a stone
as TO, try to bite through that hard
coat ne wears. There is nothing to
fear from MIN as long as you keep
away from him. But any one who
TOOLS with Snapper is bound to get
hurt Fortunately, he spends nearly
all mas time In the water. It is only
once in while that you find him on
land, as you did this morning. Thav
do say that he is the terror of the
Pooi.a
The little Foxes promised that If
ever they should meet Snapper again
they. would leave him alone, Then
they once m ore began to huntfo new
adyentures. They didn't have to hunt
long. Two of them stumbled over an
other queer fellow He was very
busy eating q mushroom. He was
very much smaller than Snapper. but
the young Foxes knew at first glance
that he must be relative of Snap
pers. Having learned their lesson
well, they took care not to go very
near.
Of course they were excited and of
course they yelped. This brought the
other two young Foxes and their
mother to see what was going on.
Its another Of those queer fell
lowsl one of the little Fexes cried,
only he's different
Yes said Mrs. Reddy. "He is
very different
She walked over and reached out
her black paw to touch this stranger.
The little Foxes held their breath
They remembered the dreadful Jaws
OF snapper the Swapping Tnrtle, and
now swiftly he had darted hia head
tnls way and that. Perhaps you can
guess their surprise when head, feet
ana tail Of this one disappeared alto
gether Yes, sir, they disappeared
enslTeiy. Mrs. Reddy slipped that paw
underneath and tipped this fellow
over on his back. Then sha called
tne young Foxes TO come close.
