IS FINED SlOO FOR
 ATTACKING WOMAN l HOUR IN JAIL ADDED
Troy keathley, Navy Veteran of War, Found Guilty of Aggravated As
 sault Against Conway Woman.

1rled on charge of attempted as sault upon Mrs. Ruel Jones, at her home in the Anderson addition of this city yesterday morning, Troy Keath- ley, a well known local character who served in the United States navy during the world war, was fined S1OO and sentenced to serve one hour in Jall by Justice of the Peace G. M. Easterwood this morning. The fine was paid and the sentence served inn mediately. The charge docketed against him was aggravated assault.
 Keathley's alleged offense was re- ported to local officers immediately after 1t occurred. It was stated that heathley, after entering two or three other neighboring houses and request Ing job of painting or paperhang- ing, came to the home of Mrs. Jones and insisted upon looking through the rooms, although she told him she dld not own the house and would not nave any paperlng or painting done Alter he had remained few minutes Mrs. Jones said he began making ia mlIlar remarks and finally siezed hel by the arms. She immediately re- leased herself and her screams at. tracted a neighbor woman. As soon as the latter came up on the porch the intruder left.
 Mrs. Jones had never seen the man before, but gave the officers such a perfect description of him that they at once decided it was Keathley. Two other men besides him were taken before her for identification. but she positively identified Keathley. After his arrest he made bond of $500 for his appearance today.
 At the trial Keathley was repre- sented by Isaac M. Campbell, while Prosecuting Attorney w. J. Wagon CT appeared for the state. Keathley neither admitted nor denied the charge and did not testify. His at torney admitted for him, however, that he had been in Mrs. Jones home at the time stated. Justice Easter wood said he was advised by Mir. Waggoner that the only charge upon which keathley could be convicted was aggravated assault, as there was no evidence to indicate an intent of a more serious crime.
 keathely was in the navy during the war and while in service was in jured in the leg in an automobile ac- cident, the injury still causing him lameness. He receives monthly com pensation from the government on this account, it is stated.
 News of the affair did not become generally known until last night, after arrest.

APOLOGIES TO SMITH;
 OUR SMITH IS BLACK

In order to relieve Floyd Smith, a valued employe at the municipal light plant, of further questioning about Floyd Smith," convicted yes terday in circuit court, the Smith haled into court is a negro and a black one at that. Prior to today he had spent some time in Conway and some time on the state farm. Friends of the light plant man have confused the identities, some for sports sake and others from lack of knowledge.
 The same confusion came about from enforcement of the draft act in wartime days. Mr. Smith, the white man, got the literature addressed to the black, unless the draft board in- dicated the race of the person ad- dressed. It developed thorough un- derstanding, however, when MT Smith received an order to report for immediate military service.

Profit Taking
Market Mainly Reactionary
Until Late Rally, Under
Leadership Of Steel Com
mon, Effaces Many Losses

Irregular fluctuations in the stock
market were less interesting and less
significant than the further rise in the
dollar and cents value Of the pound
sterling, which climbed 10 the highest
level since July, 1919, shortly after the
artificial pegs which kept British ex-
change at S4.76 were removed. Sterling
cables were yesterday quoted as high
as s4.5O%. Speculative buying in New
York was unusually effective in in
fuencing quotations. particularly since
the markets abroad were closed on ac-
count Of the Whitsuntide holiday.
Behind the remarkable recovery in
sterling is recognition OF the
tremendous progress made in adjust
ins the public finances Of Great
Britain. Furthermore, the extraordin-
ary unbalanced condition OF trade
which caused the pound TO drop 20 a
discount in 1919 and 1920 has been
gradually corrected by decreasing ex-
ports 10 Europe and increasing i'm
ports from the Old World. Sterling re-
fectci the state Of trade Of all Europe,
since many international settlements
were made through London. The re-
covery in sterling represents better
feeling in financial circles regarding
Europe generally and the greater de-
gree Of recovery in sterling than in
any OF the other overseas exchanges
reflects the knowledge that Of all the
Old World belligerents Great Britain
has conspicuously taken the leader
ship in balancing its budget and setting
It's internal public bookkeeping arrange
ments in order.
The passing Of $3.50 marks another
landmark in the career Of the pound
sterling. which in February. 1920,
slumped to s31s. On January OF
this year. sterling cables we're quoted
as low as S4.17%
In the stock market there was little
inclination to regard the activity Of
sterling as a relevant factor. There
was a reactionary tendency during
most Of the session. as a result Of
profit taking. Toward the close. under
the leadership OF Steel common. which
reached the highest point since 1920,
there was a recovery which efaced
most Of the days losses.
In spite Of the strength in sterling,
both wheat and cotton prices declined.
