Will Not Prosecute Williams.
Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 6. _
The St. Francis Levee Board to
day decided to make no court
procedure of its secretary-treas
urer, Eugene Williams, who as
cashier of the Bank of Forrest
City held $17,000 of the levee
board’s funds when the bank
failed last Saturday. Williams
has promised to make good the
money in a reasonable length of
time, and O. N. Killough, presi
dent of the board, said it was
not the board’s policy to kick a
man when he was down. Wil
liams declares that his attorney
advised him that the Arkansas
depository law did not apply to
the $17,000 in the Bank of For
rest City, and for this reason
he did not distribute the money i
to the banks that bid for it.!
The board did not go into a dis
cussion of Williams’ action as
regards violation of the law.
Most of the members expressed
their willingness to drop the
case when they learned that the
money would be paid. Williams
continues as secretary-treasur
er.

ADMISSION 5 and 10 CENTS
Will NOT GIVE
NEW TREATMENT
Proposed By Friedman At State
Sanitarium Except By Pa
tients* Request.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Aug. 7.—Unless
they act of their own accord,
none of the patients of the Ar
kansas Tuberculosis Sanitarium
will be given the Friedman
treatment by the physicians
who are now in the state admin
istering the serum. This has
been decided by The board of
trustees of the Sanitarium, the
matter being carefully weighed
by that body before a decision
was reached.
When the physicians came to
Arkansas, announcing that the
serum would be injected into all
who applied, many patients of
the sanitarium naturally ex
pressed a desire to take the
treatment. The Board of Trus
tees was notified of their re
quest. and held a -pedal meet
ing in Little Rock to go fully in
to the matter.
” KJX L i J e
Board was reached, Dr. Sewart,
the head of the state institution,
informed the patients that the
treatment was not approved by
the trustees, and witohut a mur
mur. the patients accepted the
wishes of the trustees.
One of the trustees stated
that the situation was a delicate
one, for if there is merit in the
alleged cure, it would seem cruel
on the part of the directors to de
ny the patients the hope of get
ting well. The trustees went in
to the Friedman cure in order
to protect the patients, and this
influenced their final action. It
was pointed out that the United
States government is more in
terested in this one disease,
than all others, and will be the
first to recognize a cure, when
one comes, but the government
has frowned on the Friedman
cure, and has advised those af
flicted with tuberculosis not to
spend their money upon it, con
sequently the trustees thought
they would do best in protecting
the helpless patients at the sani
torium by advising they ignore
it for the present.
Soon after the decision from
the Board of Trustees, the phy
sicians left Little Rock, though
they would gladly have gone to
the state institution and vacin
ated every patient there with
the serum, for the prestige it
would have given them in other
parts of the state.

I Marsh of El Dorado and Judge
I C. W. Smith of Camden will be
the candidates in the special

As soon as the committee has
