Tomorrow Afternoon.


Tomorrow Afternoon.
There are no developments in the Padgett
case today. The officers of the union were
at the Typographical Temple. as usual, but
say they know nothing new. They have
not heard anything as to the condition Of
Mr.. Padgett. and will not divulge his
whereabouts. They say he is not at the
Maryland University Hospital, and that no
newspaper has yet found where the sick
man is. When asked if it would not be to
the advantage OF the union and the friends
of Mr. Padgett to be advised of his condi-
tiCn,. the officers say they will keep close
enough watch on him. Whether they mean
by this that Padgett has actually made way
with union funds and Is to be prosecuted
can only be matter of conjecture.
A special meeting of the union will be
held at the temple tomorrow at $50 pm.
This meeting is called for the purpose of
laying before the members a statement of
the condition of the financial affairs of the
union, made necessary by the recent de-
velopments brought to light by the disap-
pearance of Secretary Padgett. Il consider
this says President Tracy, 1.-The most

NO LAW TO PREVENT 1T
What is Claimed by Promoters of the Fight
in Arkansas
The Governor Has Unusual Powers
Under an Old Act Against Riots
and Dfs0rderly Assemblnges.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, October 12.-The
letters of Gov. Clarke, published this morn
ing, would seem to put a quietus on the
whole matter of the prize fight, but in in
vestigating the Law Gov. Clarke has dis
covered a legal tangle that may result in
giving the fighters an unlooked-for 6d-
vantage. While examining the law felat-
ing to prize fights he discovered that the
act of 1891, making prize fighting a felony,
was never passed.
The trouble was that the two houses
could not agree on the bill, and 1t was sent
to conference committee, and when the
report was presented to the house it was
adopted simply by a viva voce vote, the
ayes and nays not having been called. AS
the law of 1893 sought to amend this act
1t would seem that there is no law on the
subject of prize fighting In this state.
The law relating to riots. unlawful as
semblages. etc, passed in 1888, confers ex-
traordinary powers upon the governor and
could perhaps be brought into requisition to
cover the case. should the governor deem
it necessary to go to extreme measures.
BY this law the governor is authorized to
call out the militia without waiting for
request for assistance from local author
tiles and is empowered to expel with force
all disturbers OF the peace.
In this connection 1t Is an Interesting
fact that since the legislature refused to
appropriate money for the maintenance Of
state militia nearly every company of cit
izen soldiers in the state has been dis
banded.
The more enthusiastic advocates of The
contest have not lost confidence in the Hot
Springs committee, and believe that the
match will yet be brought off on schedule
time.
Attorney Martin is considered to be one
of the best lawyers In the state, and act
ing upon his advice, the Hot Springs COM
mittee posted a $4,000 guarantee that the
fight would be brought off successfully.
Had there been any possible doubt about
the matter, those who know Mr. Martin
say that the project would never have been
attempted.
