PROFESSOR HOPKINS
TO LEAVE NEWPORT.
■> _
Will Become Principal of Fort
Steele School at Little Rock.
Supt. Hinemon Praises
The Professor.
Announcement is made today
by the school board that Prof.
George R. Hopkins has accepted
the principalship of the Fort
Steele school for the ensuing
*year, says the Little Rock Dem
ocrat of Saturday.
Prof. Hopkins was elected at
the meeting of the board three
weeks ago tonight, but it was
said that there was some doubt
of his accepting the position on
account of the salary attached
thereto. However, the an
nouncement today settles the
matter, and the Little Rock
schools get one of the best in
structors in the state.
Prof. Hopkins has been in the
Newport schools for the past
two years, being principal in the
Newport schools there for that
length of time. Prior to that
time he has taught for thirteen
years, and Prof. J. H. Hinemon,
. « n 11* ,
state superintendent oi puum;
instruction, by whom the new
principal is well known, states
that among his acquaintances in
school work he knows of no one
more capable to fill the principal
ship of fne of the Little Rock
schools.
The announcement of the ac
ceptance of Prof. Hopkins leaves
only one principalship unsettled,
that of the Twenty-first street |
colored school. This will be
■ taken up at the special meeting
of the board next Saturday night, j
At this meeting' the election of J
high school teachers will come
up.
WILL REMAIN HERE. -
Later—We are pleased to be
able to state that Mr. Hopkins
will not leave Newport, and the
local schools will continue to en-!
joy his successful direction and
superintendence.

OCTOR DEENER
i.OBS UP AGAIN.
une4.—Dr. R. S.
Deener, a former convict in the
Arkansas state penitentiary, who
gave sensational testimony be
fore the penitentiary committee
of the legislature on the condi
tions at the convict farm, was
arrested yesterday at his home
in Searcy by Deputy United
States Marshal Burris on a charge
of using the mails to defraud.
The arrest was made on a war
rant sworn out by District At
torney W. G. Whipple.
Deener is charged in the war
rant with devising a scheme to
defraud Mrs. Rosa Mallory of
Fort Smith by obtaining from
her the sum of $20 upon the false
pretension that he could secure
the release of her husband,
Henry Mallory, from the Arkan
sas penitentiary by furnishing a
health certificate representing
that Mallory’s condition required
his release.
I
It is alleged that Deener wrote
a letter to Mrs. Mallory agreeing
to give the certificate and direct
ing her to send him a check for
$20. It is upon this that the
charge of using the mails to de
fraud is based.
Dr. Deener has had a check
ered career since about fifteen
years ago, when he was the pas
tor of , a church at Batesville.
He was accused of certain for
geries and fled from the country, j
He practiced medicine in Mexico j
for some time and then returned |
to Arkansas. Upon his return^
to this state he was arrested and
convicted on the charge of for
gery and sentenced to a term in
the penitentiary. He was par
doned December 24, 1903. While
in the penitentiary he assisted
the physician in caring for the |
bonvicts and after his release he;
was retained for some time1
in the capacity of assistant phy-;
sician. It was while serving in
this capacity that he is charged
with having committed the of
fense against the postal laws.
Dr. Deener was arraigned be
fore Commissioner O’Hair in this
city yesterday, but waived exam
ination. He was released under
$500 bond.
