BUCKET SHOP TAX.
Senators Jones and Berry Beth In.
sisted Upon It,

Washington, April S.-Considerabl
time was consumed by the senate yes
terday in discussion of the confer
ence report on the bill to reduce war
revenue taxes. AS passed by the SEN
ate, the tax on transactions in social
ed bucket shops was retained. Tho
conferees struck out that provision. it
being explained that the house would
not consent to it's retention. Mr.. Berry.
of Arkansas, Mr.. Bacon, of Georgia.
and MI. Petus, of Alabama, insisted
that the senate should demand reten-
ton of the tax.
Mr.. Jones, of Arkansas, urged taat
the senate amendment taxing bucket
shops should have been insisted on.
Mr.. Petus, of Alabama, said he was
opposed to all transactions which were
gambling in disguise. Down in his
country, he said, playing in bucket
shops was sort of gambling in which
church-goers could engage without
sacrificing their church connections
He was opposed to the removal of the
tax
Mr., Berry (Arkansas) maintained
that to remove the tax on bucket
shops and leave it on other transac
tions was utterly unjust. Bucket
shops. he declared, were gambling es
Establishments Of the worst character
and he considered the proposition to
remove the tax upon bucket shops as
bad legislation.
The conference report was agreed
to by a vote Of SO to 20.

The sense of the resolution was that

should be the site of the present one.
The motion was seconded. Alderman
Meyer spoke against the motion and
said that he did not think it right to
confine the city to one site for the city
hall. Alderman Bruce followed and
spoke for his resolution. Alderman
Fox addressed the council in support
OF the resolution. Mayor Bell agreed
with Alderman Meyer, and stated that
he was in favor of South common for

CHARGE OF FORGERY
Tom Stewart, Colored Clerk
in Pine Bluff Post
office,
ARRESTED ON CHARGE OF
FORGERY AND EXECUTES
BOND FOR $1,000.
Stewart Is the Negro Who Figured SO
Prominently in Recent postoffice
Fight.
SUSPENDED FROM HIS JOB

The sensational charges against
Tom Stewart the postoffice clerk,
came to sudden focus today. At the
direction of the prosecuting attorney
a warrant was issued by Esquire
Niven this morning charging Stewart
with the crime of forgery The war
rant was placed in the hands of a con-
stable and Stewart was soon in the
custody of the officer. He was COM
mitted to Jail, and his bond fixed at
81 1000, which, by o'clock, he had
furnished. The case was Immediately
transferred to the grand jury. and ali
gress this afternoon.
Stewart's arrest recalls the many
allegations made against him in the
newspapers during the recent postof.
legged and it was never denied, that
Stewart had forged papers on the va
rious banks Of the city, and on private
citizens aggregating large sum cf
money.
1t was alleged that the facts in the
case were suppressed and prosecution
avoided on account of the desire of the
variously injured parties to maintain
him in his position SO that he could
reimburse them. 1t is also stated that
portion of his salary every month
was turned over to M w. Webb, one
of the negro mail carriers, for the pur-
pose of paying the various parties.
Stewart stands suspended pending
the disposition of the affair and the
facts bearing on the case have been
sent to the postofice department in
Washington.
