COURT
DENIES PETITION

Monday morning Judge Jacob Trieb-
er, Judge of the Federal Court for the
Eastern District of Arkansas, denied
the petition for writ of Habeas Cor
pus filed by attorneys for Herbert
Sease. who was convicted i'm the
Special term of the Baxter Circuit
Court in May, 1922, and sentenced to
electrocution for the murder of II. III.
Davidson. The petition for the writ
alleged that Sease did not obtain a
fair and impartial trial because public
sentiment had been aroused against
him and because the Ku Klux Klan
exerted such an influence over the
court and jury who tried him that his
trial amounted to no more than trial
10y a mob. Many witnesses were in
troduced by the defendant, including
Walter l.. Pope, who was Circuit
Judge at the time of the trial After
hearing all of the defendants witness
es Judge Trieber held that the proof
was undisputed that Sease had re-
ceiyed n fair and impartial trial and
that no improper influence of any
kind was eXerted either upon the
court or jury. 1t did not become ne
cessary for the state to introduce any
testimony. The proof was clear, Judge
Trieber said, that Sease's attorneys
were under no fear in conducting his
trial and that there We're no demon
strations Of any kind during the trial
unfavorahle to the defendant.
Sease has already had three execu-
tion dates set. The first, set by Judge
Pope on Aug. 10. 1922, was automat-
ically set aside when his appeal TO the
Supreme Court was taken. When the
Supreme Court affirmed the trial in
the Circuit Court. Governor McRae
set Dec 18th as the date of execution.
Sease's attorneys then filed before
Judge Pope n petition for writ Of er-
TOT hlltEliS Ahul HthSt was hlSdh' Ut
the time of his trial. This petition
was denied and again the Supreme
Court affirmed the action of the trial
court. The Governor then set May
4th as another day of execution. His
execution was averted ON that day by
the filing of the petition in the Feder-
al Court II Sease's appeal is filed In
the Supreme Court of the United
States, the date of his execution will
be delayed for some time. The prece-
dent for this procedure in the Federal
Court was set by the United States in
the hearing on a similar writ filed by
attorneys for the Elaine negroes.

Evening Gowns.

In evening gowns, two dis
tinct silhouettes are favored. one
having the fitted bodice, waist
line slightly raised. and fun
gathered skirt covering the ankle.
IN the second silhouette either
draped lines or straight tunic
effects giving the long slim sill
houette are Endorsed. The Second
Empire Influences makes it's app
pearance. in the fun slSirted group.
while suggestions Of the Grecian
and the Oriental influences are
noted In the draperies OF the
second group.
The bodices Of all evening
dresses are very plain. and the
decolletage remains daringly low
for ball gowns which are for the
most part backIess, and with a
deep v or low round decolletage
at the front.

Violet Rays.

One Of the most interesting
questions In connection with the
clothes FOR any new season is
always, What coIors will be
worn?
In spite Of the extraordinary
vogue for brown during the
autumn and winter, this color has
~ no means reached the end OF
it's popularity, and we shall see 1t
again extensively featured during
the coming spring, especially in
those, between shades which per-
haps can be best described in a
group as mid.brcwn.
The new color, however, il
violet. The earliest OF the ad.
vance models show just q touch

there are hardly any .''plain facts"

are concerned.
One Of the novelties that have
come forth is the unbleached

This very type of contract is made by the Government with the tmbering interests in the national forests in both Alaska and the States and the manufacturers have been working under il for more than decade with entire satisfaction. The delay in en- terng Alaska is purely an economic one; the time is not yet ripe for frution in Alaska. With transportation problem which com plaint never solves with the present demand and price for paper and with the present supply of materials nearer the market, con ditions have not until now called for Alaska development. The reasons are precisely the same that caused Ohio to be settled before Nebraska. They will no more prevent All askas development than they prevented Nebraskas

THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY ' TROUBLE AND NEVER
 SUSPECT IT
Applicants for Insurance Often
 Rejected.

Judging from reports from drug gists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there Is one preparation that has been very suc- cessful in overcoming these condi- tions. The mild and healing infiu- ence Of Dr. Kilmer's swamp Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for it's remarkable record of sue cess.
 An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview of the subject. made the astonishing state ment that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are rejected is because kidney trouble is so com mon to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. pr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is on sale at all drug stores in bot ties of two sizes, medium and large.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to pr. Kilmer & Co.,, BiI.g- hamton, N. Y, for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper. (advertisement)
