!! EX-SENATOR JONES
IN NEW YORK.
Consulting Tammany Leaders
Anent Political Plans—Op
poses Instructions.
James K. Jones, chairman of
. the Democratic national commit
tee, who ran the two Bryan cam
paigns, spent yesterday confer
ring with Democratic leaders in
NS*New York. He will see Charles
VF. Murphy and Mayor McClellan
today.
Senator Jones kept strict si
lence as to the purpose of his
visit, and last night the friends
of Judge Parker were extremely
curious as to the meaning of it.
“I am not talking politics at all:
now,” said Chairman Jones.
‘‘This is a good time for Demo
crats to keep still and do a lot of
good, hard thinking. Nothing
should be said which will create
hard feelings or estrange Demo
crats. We have a delicate situa
tion to deal with, and the least
that is said the easier it will be
to bring about harmony. For this
reason I have refused to discuss
candidates or platforms in any
way. The convention in my own
state of Arkansas will not be held
until late in June, and at this j
time I cannot even guess what
the state will do.,s
Chairman Jones thinks that
the trust issue is sure to be para
mount in the campaign and for
that reason the lack of vigor in
the New York state platform dec- j
laration on that subject may not j
have general approval. He ad
jrf voeates a candidate and a plat- j
form squarely and emphatically
committed against trusts.
Senator Jones believer that it!
will be necessary at St. Louis to
appease both the Bryan men and
the conservatives. To do this it
is said he will urge the adoption
of a plank, not reaffirming the
old rdfljtforms. but saying that
the Democrats were right on
those questions, but that the ,
money issue is not now before
the people. He thinks this will ■
bring about harmony and satisfy;
the Bryan men. <
Mr. Jones sympathizes with
the course advocated by Murphy .
. of sending uninstructed delega
tions to St. Louis.

FATE OF VOWELL
WITH THE GOVERNOR.
Governor Davis Listens to Argu
guments of Opposing Coun
sel for Four Hours—Rel
atives of Both Sides
Present.
Little Rock, April 29.—Argu
ment was heard yesterday upon
the application of Mart Vowell,
of Clay county, for a pardon. The
hearing extended through four
hours and the conclusion is yet to
come. It was announced that the,
matter will be taken up anew
next Monday.
Vowell stands convicted of
murder in the first degree for
killing William Lovejoy in Clay
county last August. After he
had been convicted by a jury and
had been sentenced to hang he
appealed to the supreme court.
In the judgment of that tribunal
there was no cause for reversal
and the conviction was affirmed.
On Saturday the supreme court
denied a motion for a new hear
ing. Even before the last effort
before the supreme court was ex
hausted steps were taken by the
friends of Vowell to apply for
f»lpmpr»p\r A TlPti^lOn
asking the governor to pardon
Vowell bears more than one thou
sand signatures, while a remon
strance contains the signed names
in excess of that number. The j
signers are citizens of Clay and
Greene counties. Although Love
joy was killed in Clay county,
Vowell was tried in Greene coun-!
ty on a change of venue, and if j
the verdict stands he will be I
banged in Paragould.
Besides the attorneys in the j
base, a number of friends and
relatives of the condemned man ;
md of the slain Love joy were in
:he city yesterday, all interested
!n the proceedings in the govern
br’s office. For the defense the
awyers are N. F. Lamb of Jones
boro, J. D. Block of Paragould,
1. H. Hill of Rector, and L. Hun
;er of Piggott. Counsel for the
brosecution are Judge F. G. Tay
or of Corning, and F. M. Fulk
)f Little Rock. Mr. Fulk knew I
lovejoy more than thirty years
igo at Wheatley.
The defense contends that
Abwell was justified in killing!
1,0vejoy and that the latter had
;hreatened to kill Vowell, hence
;he latter acted in self-defense,
further, it is argued by the de
'endant’s counsel that one of the
fninl Tirn n
U1 VI O AAA VAIV VA AW A > * VVK->
;ent for the reason th^t he had j
ixpressed the opinion that Vow
ill ought to hang for the crime. I
Phe' prosecution combats all these
fuestions and urges that the ver
lict of the jury, fortified by the,
indorsement of the supreme:
:ourt, should be carried out. The
ranscript in the case was not
ivailable yesterday and for this j
■eason the hearing will be re-1
mmed next Monday. The man- j
late of the supreme court hasj
lot been issued yet and until it j
s communicated to the governor
hat official cannot properly act,
lither in fixing a day for the
ixecution or in the exercise of
fis prerogative, in pardoning the
onvicted man.
. Vowell is confined at the peni
entiary ^or safekeeping. His
rife and two daughters, one of
he latter almost out of her teens,
.re in the city, and were visitors
,t the state house yesterday,
.waiting the result of the hear
ng. Pony Vowell of Marma
iuke, a brother, and Alfred j
luckett, a cousin of the con
temned man, are also here,
ohn and A1 Love joy, brothers of <
he slain man, and Mrs. Mollie
Bradford, his daughter, were in
fittle Rock during the day. i

SWALLOWED BILL
TO CONCEAL THEFT.
Assistant Postmaster at Cabot
Loots Decoy Letter of Five
Dollar Bill.
James A. Rogers, of Cabot, a
sickly appearing young white
man about 21 years of age, is con
fined in the Pulaski county jail
with the Federal charge of rob
bing a registered letter hanging
over him. He was arrested
Wednesday in the postoffice at
Cabot and taken to Little Rock.
Thursday he was indicted and his
trial was set for today. When ar
rested he swallowed the stolen
bill and an emetic had to be used
to secure the return of the mark
ed evidence.
For nearly two years occasional
complaints have been made to
the postoffice department by Chi
cago, St. Louis, Little Rock and
Memphis firms that money en
closed in letters from points near
Cabot and served from that office,
had been extracted in transit. In
spectors were sent there but
could learn nothing. Perhaps
shortly after they left another
theft would be reported. Of late
the thefts have been frequent
and the complaints have been
manv.
Monday Postoffice Inspectors
E. 0. Glenn andE. P. Craig went
to Cabot and put up. at the hotel, i
They told no one of their mission
but made frequent inquiries at
the postoffice for letters which
did not seem to be forthcoming.
In this way they sized up the;
force; also by watching the car
riers and the men on the star j
routes. Suspicion finally fasten
ed on Rogers and the old decoy
letter trap was laid. He was
prove an easy victim.

LETTER TO DR. HENRY
OWEN, NEWPORT, ARK.
—
Dear Sir: You understand j
chemistry ; how’d you like to earn
$1,000?
Devoe lead-and-zine — that’s j
the name of our paint that takes
fewer gallons, than mixed paint
and wears twice as long as lead
and-oil—is made of white-lead,
white zinc, its color, turpentine |
fryer, and linseed oil.
If any chemist finds any adul
teration in this paint we* 11 pay
bis bill and $1,000 besides.
It’s nobody’s business what we
out in our paint, of course; but
we want it known. For lead-and
finc and linseed oil, ground to
gether by machinery, are the stuff
;o paint with; and lead-and-oil
nixed by hand is not.
We want it known that one
word describes the best paint in
world; and that word is Devoe.
Are you going to paint?
Yours truly,
F. W. Devoe & Co.,
