The Independent is informed
that while Mr. Henry has been
tendered the cashiership of this
new bank, he has hot accepted
and even should he later identi
fy himself with this bank, he
will not do so in the near future.
The position was tendered him
but has not been accepted.
While his fellow-townsmen
are pleased to see this evidence
of his standing among promi
nent men of Little Rock and this
recognition of his capability, we
are'also glad that we are not to
lose him, for the present at
least, for his public spirit and
progressiveness and his many
good qualities of mind and heart
are useful factors in our own
city’s business and social life.

CITY COMPLETES
SHELL STREET
Work Because Supply Has Been
Exhausted— New Sewer :
Connection Ordinance.
The city has completed the 1
paving and resurfacing with
shells of Front street from!
Beech to the ferry crossing on ]
Pine street and of Malcolm av- j
enue east from the lake bridge
to within a block of the corpor
ate limits. The last accounts I
for this improvement were
brought before the council Mon
day evening and allowed.
That the shell surfacing of i
worn macadam streets is a cheap '
and effective way of rebuilding
such a paving is now apparent !
to all and the only fault that j
could be found with the work '
completed is that a heavy roller
was needed to properly crush
the shell to provide an even sur-!
face as traffic tends to scatter ;
the shells and make the surface
irregular and wavy. Such a j
roller, the c-itv does not own or !
it would have been used.
The council at the meeting
Monday night also passed an or
dinance which prohibits the tap
ping of the sewer system with
out a permit from the sewer
commission.
In the mayor’s court Tuesday j
morning, two boys who had been
repeatedly warned not to ride
bicycles on the sidewalks of the i
city, were each fined $2.00 for
violations of this ordinance.
The boys of the city should take
notice and not ride upon the
sidewalks, or they too may soon
be brought before the mayor as
the officers are instructed to en
force the ordinance.
W. C. T. U. Program.
The W. C. T. U. will meet with
Mrs. W. B. Grant on Pine street,

Dr. Stewart A Valuable Man.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, June 10.— Dr. j
John Stewart, the new superin-1
tendent of the Arkansas Tuber-:
culosis Sanitarium at Boone
ville, was attending the meet- j
ing of the Board of Trustees in ;
Little Rock Monday. Dr. Stew- j
art was recently secured from i
Missouri, where he was the su
perintendent of the State Tu
berculosis Sanitarium at Mt.
Vernon. Dr. Stewart was the
head of that institution for a
number of years, and only four (
deaths occurred there in the en-,
tire time. He has been several,
months in Arkansas, and in that (
time there have been twelve j
deaths in the Missouri institu-,
tion. The Board of Trustees,
consider this a great tribute to
the ability of Dr. Stewart, and j
expect him to continue his suc
cessful work in the Arkansas
sanitorium.

Brown Talks Railroad Again.
G. W. L. Brown, general man-1
ager of the Cache Valley Rail-,
road* came into Paragould Sat- (
I
urday afternoon late and at an
informal meeting with several
business men in the Chamber of
Commerce rooms last night. Mr.
Brown submitted a proposition
for an extension of the Cache
Valley road to Paragould. He
said there were other parties in
terested with him in making the
road a trunk line and that he had
assurances of sufficient financial
support to build the road from
Little Rock to Thebes, Illinois.
He said the company would build
a branch from Lighter or some
other point into Paragould, pro
vided the citizens would raise a
fund of $25,000, secure the right
of-way and donate terminal
grounds in Paragould. The mat
ter was discussed briefly, but no
action was taken.
Talking with a number of rep
resentative citizens this morn
ing. the Press reporter found
practically no sentiment in fa
vor of the proposition submitted
by Mr. Brown. They cannot fig
ure where Paragould will be ma
terially helped by paying such
a large sum for a branch line
that would run north and south.
The citizens here would have no
guarantee that the timber pro
ducts in the Cache bottoms
would be brought to this city.
On the contrary, it is believed
the companies owning the tracts
would establish small saw mills
r iM 4" yv 1 (, /I ri e~, v\ yl n L 1 ♦ In y. w u .n
‘■"O Miiu nip v.ii'w
ducts out over the proposed main
line. If the citizens of Paragould
and those residing along the
route of the branch, desired to
raise a fund of $25,000, it is
said they would prefer to in
terest the local hardwood manu
facturers in the project and as
sist them in building a logging
road to the timber belt in the
Cache bottoms, thus insuring
the business for Paragould.
Jail Delivery Prevented.
Mammoth Spring, June 9.—
Three prisoners, charged with
criminal offenses, made an ef
for to escape from the Fulton
county jail Saturday afternoon
at 4 o'clock. They are Ben
Carter, charged with criminal
assault; Easton York, confess
ed horse thief, and Howard Say
ers, being held on charge of
shooting with intent to kill Lee
Burrow of Mammoth Spring.
They had worked the mortar
from about a great stone in the
wall, and all that was lacking
was to remove the stone, and
they could have escaped. They
probably would have made a get
away Saturday night had their
work not been discovered or
suspected by the wife of the jail
keeper, who reported to the
sheriff, Mart Carouthers. The
sheriff, instead of molesting the
progress of the work, watched,
in order, if possible, to learn who
on the outside was lending aid.
He discovered the man, and an
arrest will be made as soon as
the prosecuting attorney re
turns home.
Same Result Expected Here.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, June 10.—The de
cision of the United Supreme
Court rendered Monday after
noon, in the Minnesota rate cas
es, has a bearing on the Arkan
sas rate cases, which are similar
in most respects. The court de
clared the Minnesota rates as
confiscatory, and the act estab
lishing them, to be unconstitu
tional. The Arkansas cases are
now pending in the same court,
and a like fate is anticipated for
them.
COURT MARTIAL
GRANTED HICKEY
Was Former Captain of Jonesbo
ro Company Dismissed on Ac
count of Race Riots.
—
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, June 10.—Gov. J.
M. Futrell has decided to grant
the request of L. D. Hickey,
former captain of the Jonesboro
company of the Arkansas State
Guard, who was dismissed from
the service for permitting his
company to create a race riot at
Fordyce last year- for a court
martial to hear the evidence for
and against him.
Captain Hickey was relieved j
of hi.s shoulder straps by Gov
ernor Geo. W. Donaghey, follow
ing the outbreak in Fordyce, in
which a number of enlisted men,
on their way to the encampment !
in Alexandria, La., charged a
negro store and almost demolish
ed it. They claimed one of the
men had been insulted by a ne
gro who took refuge in the*
store, and the proprietor re
fused to surrender him.
Gov. Donaghey made an in
vestigation and held Hickey re
sponsible. Hickey asked for
a court martial at the camp, but
he had been removed from the
Guard and it was claimed that
he no longer had the right to
ask it.
Gov. J. M. Futrell has written
to Captain Hickey, requesting
him to give the date that will be
most convenient for the holding
of the court martial. He has also
written to eleven officers of the
Guard, all ranking above the
office held by Hickey while <*
member of the Guard, asking
them if they will serve as mem
bers of the court of inquiry, and
the date which will be most con
venient for them to come to Lit
tle Rock.
When all the replies have been
received, Governor Futrell wilt
select the date most convenient
to the greatest number, and di
rect the court to meet at tha
time. It is possible that on'y
five officers, ranking above cap
tain, and as high as colonel, will
compose the court.
Rig Fish to Be Preserved.
Capt. Charles 11. Thompson’s
20-ton tish, caught off Miami,
Fla., a year ago, attracted many
persons to the New Jersey Cen
tral Railroad terminal at Cum
mingpaw Monday,where the fish
lay on a freight lighter waiting
to be taken over to Manhattan.
It is to be placed in a museum.
The fish, which was unknown to
scientists, was stuffed by J. S.
Warmbeth of the Smithsonian
Institute. It came from Savan
nah last week on a coastwise
steamer. It was captured after
a 39-hour flight in which five
harpoons and 150 bullets were
used. It required five days to
kill it. It towed thirty yachts
sometimes as fast as forty miles
an hour. It is 45 feet long and
has several thousand teeth. It
has no scales but has hide three
inches thick.
