WILLIAMS DENIES
MILWEE’S CHARGE
Latter Reiterates His Charges
And Gives Workings of St.
Francis Levee Board.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, June 19.— The
closing days of the gubernatori
al campaign is getting rather in
teresting in political circles, and
a rather choice bit of repartee
has been indulged in between R.
F. Mil wee, manager of the Brun
didge campaign, and Eugene Wil
liams of Forrest City, a Hays |
supporter.
Williams was for a number of |
years a member of the St. Fran
cis Levee Board. He has been
prominent in East Arkansas pol
itics and several days ago Judge
Mihvee wrote a letter to .J. M.
Bush of Marianna, his brother
in-law, declaring that Williams
had come to Little Rock and
visited the Brundidge headquar
ters, pledging his support to
Col. Brundidge in return for
the disposition of certain patron-'
age. Judge Mihvee stated this j
was denied him and he then vis-!
ited the Hays headquarters. |
where the proper promises were I
made, and Williams became a
Hays supporter. Judge Mihvee
intimated that Williams desired
to name th’e members of the St.
Francis Levee Board to fill the
vacancies caused by terms which
v ill expire this year. The let
ter was published freely in East
Arkansas and brought forth a
reply from Williams which is
now being circulated by the
Hays forces.
In the reply Williams won
ders why Bush should be inter
ested in His vote, and if so, why
he did not journey 16 miles
from Marianna to Forrest City
to ask him, instead of going
through Forrest City to Little
Rock, and then back home be- j
fore writing the letter asking
for the information. Williams
declares that Milwee inspired
the letter from Bush in order to
give foundation for the answer
which was later published.
Williams denies that he made
any political deal with Hays and
asserts that he is no longer a
member of the levee board, nor
ever will be again. He says he
would not aceept the appoint
ment if it was tendered him.
Williams also denies that he vis
ited the Brundidge headquar
ters, until after being solicited
to do so, and when he did go,
that Milwee offered to make any
sort of promise to get the Wil-1
liams influence, but it was re
fused. Williams says he told
Milwee he would support him
personally lor an office, but was j
personally against Brundidge.
Judge Milwee has prepared an j
answer to the Williams letter, in
which he reiterates all the asser
tions in the letter written to
Bush, and gives some inside
workings in Arkansas politics,
as played by the members of the
St. Francis levee board.
Offers No Terms to Convict.
Little Rock, June 19—The
state cannot parley or negotiate
with an escaped convict, offering
him terms for his surrender.
This is the substance of a letter
that will be written to Attorney
C. P. Hawkins of Kensett, Mo.,
who w’rote the governor, in ef
fect, if he would promise to pa
role an escape if he would sur
render. If he wants to surren
der-Jje must do so without anj;
promise of clemency being nelu
out to him.
Attorney Hawkins writes that
Jess Breshers. then about It),
killed his father, several years
ago, on account of his mother,
near Paragould. He was then
living near Hornersville, Mo. He
pleaded guilty and was sentenc
ed to twenty years in the peni
tentiary. He was leased to a
railroad company, and was treat
ed so badly, with the other pris
oners that, being young and eas
ily frightened, he escaped and
has been at large ever since..
His mother, with eight children,
all girls but one, resides at Ken
nett, and they are making a liv
ing hoeing cotton. All have a
good reputation for industry and
integrity. The boy is supposed
to be somewhere East of his
home, and weary of living the
life of a fugitive. His mother is
anxious that he be paroled to his
uncle, a Mr. Owens, that he may
help support his mother and de
pendant sisters.
100 Cases of Infantile Paralysis.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, June 19.— Over
100 cases of infantile paralysis
exist in the state of Arkansas,
according to the report of Dr.
C. VV. Garrison, of the State
Board of Health, who has just
returned from a trip through
Miller , Sevier and Little River
counties. Dr. Francis of the
United States Public Health and
Marine Hospital service, accom
panied Dr. Garrison in this in
vestigation.
The cases reported to the state
board of health are, Miller coun
ty,45 ; Sevier county, 31; Little
River county, 17. The disease is
known to exist in Columbia and
Howard counties, but no cases
have been officially reported to
the board of health.
“The disease is generally of a
mild type,” states Dr. Garrison,
“and two deaths have occurred
in each county. Many cases
have had no medical attention at
all. It is seldom that any but
the youngest member of a fami
ly is stricken, but we found a
few grown persons also suffering
with the malady. Complete
paralysis is rare, the most of the
cases appearing in one limb or
the neck.
“The cases seemed to be scat
tered over the counties without
reference to a stream or to £
stable, and it is hard to trace the
source by which the disease b
transmitted.’
Phone Lines Sold.
Fort Smith, June 18.—Tht
Southwestern Telegraph & Tele
phone Co., the Bell system, is at
tracting wide attention by its
continued sales of its lines ir
this state. Less than two years
ago the Southwestern accom
plished a deal that placed them
in possession, it is said, of th'ree
fourths of the telephone lines in
Arkansas. Within the last six
months it has dsposed of many
of the properties included in that
deal. It is hinted that the com
pany fears an anti-trust suit and
for this reason is relinquishing
control. Within two weeks it
jias disposed of its lines in Boone,
Ozark, Johnson and Logan coun
ties.

Where Robinson Forces Stand.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock. .Tune T9.—It is
strange how a short time will
change the political belief and
utterances of politicians. Less
than a year ago political ring
leaders in Little Rock were
shouting their heads off, telling
the greatness of the rising
young politician. Joe T. Robin*
'son. Less, than six months ago
they were raising the roof with
their tumultuous shouts for Joe
T. Robinson, the former friend
of the “deer peepul.” who should
go to the United States Senate
without a chance for the afore
said “deer peepul” to say aye or
nay.
Now a change has come over
. these same politicians. They
| want the soft pedal put on tlv
very whispering of his name in
connection with Arkansas poli
tics. It was intimated that Joe
T. Robinson, United States Sen
ator, was coming back to Arkan
sas to stump the state for Geo.
iW. Hays, and immediately there
went up a protest greater than
The wailing of the children in
i the wilderness. They said it
j would “hurt Hays' chances.”
They declared that Joe T. was
keeping hi.- hands strictly off
The race, and to those who hap
ipen still to have political friend
ship for the Senator, and where
they thought it would do no
harm—in a sort of sotto voice,
it was add* d, “so far as the pub
lic knows.”
It is amusing to tnose who
s.tudy Arkansas politics, but
who do not play the game, to
see Judge Walls of Lonoke coun
ty, kinsman of Senator Robin
son, his candidate for the United
States Marshalship of the West
ern District, and his campaign
manager for governor and the
Senate; T. I’. Murray, another
i of the campaign managers of
the twin campaign, and appoint
ed by Gov. Robinson as a mem
ber of the Board of Penitentiary
[Commissioners; R. P. Allen, an
| adviser in the Senatorial cam
paign and candidate for United
| States Marshal of the Western
District of Arkansas; State
j Senator Harry Harris, a Robin
son leader in the Senate, and the
j administration candidate for
President pro tern of that body;
land other well known Robinson
[leaders, who are known still to
l be in the Robinson ranks, with
their hands on the helm of the
Hays campaign, and still claim
{that Robinson is not interesting
himself in the interest of the
candidate whose cause they es
pouse.
The “deer peepul” can see the
inner workings.
