INCORPORATE BIC
 ICE CONCERN HERE

Articles of incorporation for the Conway Ice & Fuel Company, having capital stock of $100,000 of which $51 ,000 is paid up, have been filed with County Clerk J. A, Hutto by the incorporators, A. G. Miller of St. Louis, V. H. McNutt and Conrad Lam- bert of Tulsa, Fred A. Collier of St. Louis and S. R. Morgan of Little Rock As stated in the articles, the com pany proposes to engage in the manu- fracture and sale of ice, refrigeration and storage, manufacture and sale of ice cream and soft drinks, and to deal in coal and all building materials and electrified water for domestic use.
 MT. Miller is president of the con- pany, Collier and McNutt are vice presidents and Lambert is secretary and treasurer.
 Beyond what is shown on the arti- cles of incorporation, considerable in quiry by the Log Cabin Democrat to- day failed to upturn anything in re. gard to the new company. The ar ticles were filed on January 23 by Mr. Morgan, and Clerk Hutto forgot to mention it to the Log Cabin Democrat representative. So the matter rested until this morning, stranger giving his name as Vestal called and inquir- ed why the formation of the company had not been published.
 MT. Morgan is the only one of the incorporators known here. He has been a jobber in stocks and securities at Little Rock for some time, and Mil Ter possibly was associated with him there.

tBy the Associated Press)


 Malvern, Feb. 4.-The coroner's jury which today heard testimony at an inquest held over the body of John Harrison, negro who was shot to death by a mob at l0:30 last night, returned verdict that the negro came to his death at the hands of persons unknown to the jury" The negro's name was Harrison, instead of Harris, as was first reported

His last offense occurred Thursday af- ternoon when he appeared naked from the waist down. and attempted to stop five school girls in an auto mobile. He was arrested at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon by officers con- celed at the home of white woman. whom the negro had previously in- suited.

MIR. WOMACK GETS
 ANOTHER OFFER
MAY LEAVE tThIS TCITY
Other Teachers Thrown Out of Elm ployment by School Closing Con-
 sldering Positions Elsewhere.

Supt. K. K. Womack of the Con- way public schools left this morning Tor Little Rock, from which place he expects to go to another city to take under consideration an offer receiv ed by him in the early mail today from a school board desiring to fill a vacancy for the remainder of the school year. Mr. Womack said he thought best not to make public the city from which the offer came, as It might embarras the board making 1t in event he did not accept it. The salary, he said, would be about the same as that paid here.
 At least four other teachers in the Conway school, who will be thrown out of employment by the order of the board suspending the session on February 10, have under consider ation offers of positions elsewhere MT Womack said today. None of them has as yet actually accepted another position, he said, but he felt sure that the majority of the teach CTS could not afford to await the un- certainty of continuing the public school here and all who had an op- portunity would accept other posi- tons within the next few days.
 While many suggestions have been n hnn o,NI Il the schools on February 10 continues the principal topic of discussion on the streets and in the homes, no con- certed action has as yet been taken or even planned, so far as could be learned, to prevent the calamity that is about to come on Conway. Opin- ion seems very general that nothing will be done and that the schools will be closed indefinitely on next Friday.
 Superintendent Womack today re- ceived the following letter from Rev. C. N. Guice, travelling evange- list of the Methodist church, who about two years ago purchased prop erty and moved to Conway on account of its educational advantages:
 Joplin, Mo-. Feb. 3, 1922.
 Dear Brother Womack-I have just heard from my wife the distress ing news that our public school is to be closed after the 10th, unless something is done. I am already leaded to the guards, but I'll be one of 100 or POO to raise an amount up to $2,0O0 month for the rest of the school term. In other words, I'll give $10 or S2O a month. We must not let our school close, and furthermore we must do something to put it on permanent basis. Use this anyway you want. Surely wa have POO citizens who would gi~e s1O month. We don't want to pay anybody to collect, either.
 With kindest regards. yours cor dially, C. N. Guice."

Should ballot re- suit in election, straw is added to the pile and the smoke ascending from the chapel is made bluish color.
