Chancery Court Ends.
Heber Springs, Dec. 21.—-Judge
ieorge T. Humphries, chancel
or of the Eighth district, Fri
iay adjourned the winter term
>f chancery court for Cleburne
county after a session of four
lays. Many unimportant cases
were tried and 15 divorces grant
ted. This term of court was the
last to be held this year in the
10 counties of the Eighth dis
trict.
Judge Humphries returned last
night to his home at Salem,
where he will spend the holidays
before starting on his campaign
for congress from the Second
district. He will be opposed by
Judge Eugene Lankford of De
Vall’s Bluff and W. A. Oldfield.
Judge Humphries probably has
granted more divorces than any
other judge in Arkansas. Dur
ing the past 11 years he has
granted 3,342 divorces. A ma
jority of these were granted to
negroes in the counties of his
district that have a large negro
population .
University Bans Tango.
Fayetteville, Dec. 21—No lon
ger may the students of the Uni
versity of Arkansas dance in un
restrained liberty. The “powers
that be” have ruled differently
The ban has been put on the tan
go.
While the new dances have
been practiced in careful moder
ation under the strictest super
vision, the slight variations of
the so-called tango have edged
their way into the university
dance hall. Protest was raised,
not on what had been done, but
what might develop- As a re
sult the Senate, the governing
body of the university, today
passed a resolution which will
prohibit any semblance of the
new dances. This action was

mittee which conferred with the
Senate yesterday afternoon.
“The action of the Senate is
not meant as a rebuke to the
students,” said President Fut
rall, “but is taken as a precau
tionary step. The tango has
not been allowed in the unver
sity at all, but for fear that it
might creep in, the Senate wish
ed to be put on record against it
and warn the students against
it.”
