VERDICT WAS FARCE.
Bishop Hoss Denounced Light Penalty
In Wallis Case—Trial Necessary
For Rev. J. W. Jernigan.
Paragould, Ark., Decemcer 6.—A
sensation was sprung at yesterday’s
session of the White River conference
in the case of Rev. E. H. Wallis, who
was found guilty on four counts by
the committee appointed to try him.
He was suspended for thirty days.
His alleged offenses were failure to
fill a pulpit on Sunday, spending the
day socially, and telling the presiding
elder he went to a funeral. On an
other Sabbath, it was alleged, he neg
lected an appointment to be at a mar
riage, and told a member of the church
that he forgot the appointment, but
wrote to a young lady member of the
church that he went to Memphis to
get his throat treated. Again, it was
further charged, he told the elder he
had collected §10 subscribed to the
church, when in fact he had borrowed
§16 from the party who subscribed.
He paid the §16 to the lender and
then, it was claimed, told the elder he
had to pay §10 back. The other
charge was similar to these.
After the verdict was read Bishop
Hoss denounced it as a farce. If Rev.
Wallis was guilty as charged, he said
he should be expelled from the con
ference instead of being treated as
leniently as he.was.
The third day’s session of the White
river annual conference of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, South, was
opened at 9 o’clock with religious
services by Bishop Hoss, who read
<*UU tJApUUIJUtJU III 111UOL viviu mail
ner the incident of the prayer of the
pharisee and publican. Dr. J. E.
Godbey of the Arkansas Methodist
was introduced to the conference.
The conference committee appoint
ed to investigate the character of
Rev. J. F. Jernigau on a charge of de
serting his work reported a trial nec
essary, and the committee for trial,
W. B. Rick (chairman) and N. E.
Skinner (secretary), were appointed
by the Bishop. Rev. Fred Little was
appointed to prosecute the case and
Rev. M. M. Smith to defend.
Revs. W. A. Lindsay, Robt. A.
Robertson, F. P. Jernigan and I. D.
McClure were received into full con
nection in the conference.
It is thought that the business of
the conference will be finished to
morrow, and that appointments will
be read Sunday night at the close of
the services.
NEW FRISCO MAP.
The new map of the Frisco Railroad
' system has just oeen issued. The
1 last Frisco map showed new lines as
projected between Soper and Ard
more, I. T., Lawton, 1. T., and Quan
1 nah, Tex; Choctaw, Okla., and Vern
on, Tex; Brownwood and San An
> tonio, Tex.; Brady and Spofford, Tex.
In Arkansas the new map shows
two extensions under way, one be
tween Hoxie and Newport and the
other between St. Joe and Leslie.
These extensions are being built to
i ward each other to give a short route
between Memphis and Eureka
Springs.
A most important feature of the
map is that it shows that the Frisco is
working for a New Orleans entrance.
It shows the Louisiana and Arkansas
Railroad, which now extendc irom
Hope, Ark., south to Winfield, La., as
projected to reach both New Orleans
' and Natchez. The Natchez route is
through Winn and Concordia parishes,
Louisiana, from Winnfield. The New
Orleans route is south from Winnfield
to Alexandria, and thence southeast,
paralleling the Texas and Pacific, or
Gould line, to Gretna, opposite New
Orleans.
ROLAND JOHNSON MISSING.
Augusta, Dec. 6.—R. H. Johnson,
manager of the Western Union Tele
graph office at this place, disappeared
from here last Monday, since which
time nothing of his whereabouts can
be learned. His mother, who lives at
Newport, and his friends are anxious
I about him. E. E. Blackmon has
j charge of the office he vacated.
***
Roland Johnson was in Newport the
first of the week, but his relatives
here do not know of his whereabouts
now. He bears a good reputation and
has many friends, who hope that the
affair may not prove to be serious.

ORGANIZED THIEVERY.
Nine Negroes Under Arrest Charged
With Stealing Freight Prior to
And After its Delivery at De
pot.
There seems to have been an or
ganized band of negroes, who pil
laged freight at the depots, judging
from the mysterious disappearance of
sjjch packages of tobacco, snuff, con
densed milk and articles of this kind,
that would command a ready sale.
Nin9 arrests have been made within
the past two days by officers of the
law for offenses of this nature.
Four of the negroes arrested Satur
day morning held responsible posi
tions, where such stealing could be
carried on. They are Wm. Patterson,
driver for D. W. and A. G. Anderson;
Henry Stanton, driver for American
Grocer Company; Will Bowden,
driver for O. M. Bowen and John
Tyler, roustabout at the Choctaw de
pot. All of this lot were placed in
jail, only one being aBft^to furnish
bond, Henry Stanton.
W. M. Lacks and Clayton Jenkins
were also jailed charged with selling
the stolen property, the trial of the
former to-gether with that of Wm.
Patterson being up before Justice
Guy Smith Saturday.
BALLARD MAKES FURTHER ARRESTS.
When Ike Brown was given a pre
liminary hearing, the evidence intro
duced was such as to implicate several
confederates in the stealing and dis
position of Whit Wall’s trunk of cut-,
lery from the Iron Mountain depot
platform. Detective Wm. Ballard
has been working on the case and on
Fridav brought un from Little Rock
Will JonteB, another negro charged
with being a party to this theft.
Jones was already under arrest on
the charge of stealing a bicycle in that
city.
Acting with the local officers, Bal
lard lalso had Ed Donison and Bud
Hose, colored, arrested Friday, who
will have to answer for alleged con
nection with the stealing of the trunk
of cutlery.
TIME EXTENSION GRANTED.
Attorney Stayton of Morning Star
Railroad Secures One Year Ex
tension for Construction of
Line.
The state Board of railway incorpor
ators Friday extended the time within
which the Morning Star Railway
Company is required to build one
tenth of its estimated length, from the
time it would have expired Friday,
December 5, to December 5, 1903.
The matter was presented by Joseph
M. Stayton of Newport, attorney for
the road. He speaks very favorably
of the building of the line, which is to
be constructed from Newport by the
Morning Star mines in Marion county,
south of White river, to Yellville.
The original charter was granted June
5, 1901, eighteen months being
specified as the limit of the time for
the construction of the line a total
distance of 125 miles. The total cost
is estimated at §3,000,000, which is
the amount of the capital stock. The
road would pass through the counties
of Marion, Searcy, Baxter, Stone, In
dependence and Jackson. Caleb H.
Jackson of New York is the principal
shareholder, holding 2,245 shares of
the Btock.
Mr. Stayton said to a “Democrat”
reporter: “The road will be built
and work will commence upon it as
early next spring as possible. It is
an independent line. Newport has
already subscribed a bonus of $10,000,
and will also give the right of way
and terminal facilities. This is about
all that can be said about the matter
at this time.”
MIDNIGHT MARRIAGE.
Elopement of an Augusta Couple
Broke Down Parental Opposi
tion to Their Union.
Augusta, Ark., Dec. 6,—Ernest
Glenn, 22 years old, and Myrtle Price,
14 years old, stepdaughter of J. L.
Hopwood, run off Wednesday evening
just after dark with the intention of
going to Wynne tq marry. Officers
w’ere sent in all directions to capture
the girl and much excitement was
caused by the distress of the mother of
the girl. Friday a friend suggested
to Mrs. Hopwopd that he could find
the couple if she would give her con
sent for them to marry, which she
did. County Clerk Winfree was pull
ed up from his nocturnal repose, a
marriage license secured and Squire
G. W. Gordon was also aroused from
his bed and quickly united the truant
couple, and Thursday the bride and
groom, the mother and Btepfather
were all happy.
DENIES STORY OF DINING.
Tenoral Wright Says Roosevelt Did
Not Break Bread With Booker
Washington.
Gen. Marcus J. Wright, formerly a
highly honored citizen of Tennessee,
hut now of Washington I). C., a gal
lant ex-Confederate soldier and rela
tive of Gov. Luke E. Wright, at the
Wright reception in Memphis recent
ly, pronounces the statement that
Roosevelt dined Booker Washington
is false and gives this version of the
iffair:
“The whole truth of the matter is
this. President Roosevelt had been
anxious for some time to obtain a
truthful light on the situation in the
South. Finally, at the suggestion of
a number of Southern and Northern
men of both great political parties,
he sent a message to Booker Wash
ington asking him to come to the
capital for conference regarding the
negro, his needs and his capabilities.
Washington came, and the confer
ence, which was started in the presi
dent’s executive office and was
changed to his private office because
of repeated interruptions, continued
for five hours.
“In the midst of the conference be
tween the president and Washington,
lunch was sent in to the chief execu
tive of the nation. Desiring to con
tinue the conversation, and rather
than lose the time necessary for
Washington to go to lunch, President
Roosevelt thereupon ordered that
lunch be served to the negro educator
in the same room.
“Now this was all there was to that
story. Washington did not dine at
the White House table, did not break
bread with the President’s wife and
daughter, and was in no sense a guest
upon terms of social equality.”—
Commercial Appeal.
BURD FAVORS PROTECTION.
W. D. Burd, a local pearl dealer, is
very much in favor of the proposed
pearl bill of Representative Myers of
Lawrence county, which will be in
troduced at the next session of the
legislature. Mr. Burd, until two
months ago, was a resident of Black
Rock, Mr. Myers’ home, and since the
beginning of the industry they have
been asscroby^the
with the pearl situation, * W_°_ m
protection of some sort, a latar wiWB!!"*""
will prevent the waste of the mussel
shells out of season, and probably a
regulation of the sized peafl which
may be taken, would be an inestimable
benefit to every portion of the stat
I where the shells and jewels are fount..
Mr. Burd and Dr. Myers together
might be called the fathers of the
pearl business in Arkansas, and if
there are two men in the state who
know the statutory needs in the case
these two probably know' the most
about them.—Little Rock Gazette.
