CASHED A CHECK
BELONGING TO ANOTHER MAN
PROVES SERIOUS
For doc" Taylor, Grant County Man,
Now in Jail in This
City.

Deputy Constable Lee Baw return
ed from near Grapevine, Grant county,
Wednesday. bringing with him Doc
Taylor a we'll known white resident
of that vicinity. Taylor is wanted here
for cashing a check belonging TO NJ
G. Morris who is also a resident OF
Grant county.
Taylor has been under the con-
stant surveillance of the authorities of
this place for over month.
About December /. 1901, Mr.. Morris
lost a check in the Pine Bluff Mercan
tile company building, amounting to
$6924 The check was in payment of
two bales of cotton and was drawn
in favor of bearer The banks and
other commercial interests of the city
were notified of the loss of the check,
but it was finally cashed by Mr.. Dave
Franklin of the Gould -Galbraith Sup
ply company.
The authorities We're constantly at
work on the case. Officer Culpepper
learned of an incident that made him
suspect that Taylor was the guilty
party He attempted to bring Taylor
before Mr. Franklin twice by the use
of little strategy, but the former
eluded him both times. One day Mr..
Culpepper learned that Taylor was at
Clements wagon yard. He notified
Mr. Franklin of this. and the octer
went to the wagon yard and identified
| I, Iol -
check for He informed the officers
of the indentifcatiOn. and Taylor was
arrested and brought to the police
station where he was put in the
sweat box presided over by Chiefs
Craig and Peterson, Officer Culpepper
and Prosecuting Attorney w. B. Sor
rells At first he denied the Charge
but when told of the incidents that
led to his arrest. he weakened and told
all
AS Taylor had always been a neigh
Dor and friend of Mr. Norris, the lat
ter did not care to prosecute Taylor.
If Taylor would return the amount Of
the check, it would be satisfactory
to Morris. Taylor promised to return
the check to the local authorities for
Mr.. Morris by January 3. last Friday.
This was satisfactory and Taylor was
turned loose. Last Friday came and
Taylor did not show up. The author
tiles waited for him to appear until
last Tuesday, and not having shown
up on that day, Constable Baw was
sent after him, returning with him as
stated.
The charge brought against him is
a serious one. He will be tried in a
magistrates court before the end of
the weeks.

SERIOUS
FOR PINE BLUFF is BIG LET-OUT
OF MEN
At the Cotton Belt Shops, Cutting
Down Pay Foil About Half for
Month.
SERIOUS

The Iet-out of employees at the Cot
ton Belt shops is going to prove
rather serious to the business inter
ests of Pine Bluff
Wednesday night nearly fifty of the
discharged employees left on one train
for points in Texas and elsewhere to
seek employment. With many of them
it is work Or go without necessities
OF course the officers and employees
Of the company are reticent with refer
ence to the lay-oH of the men, espec
tally when talking to newspaper men
but there is a we'll defined rumor that
orders have been made to reduce the
force sufficient to cut down the pay
roll $50 600 for the present month
which is about one,half the sum paid
out monthly.
1t is also stated that twenty more
employees have been let out making
total of 220 in all
Another big item with those who
have not been let out is the reduction
of the working day from eight to nine
hours which will considerably reduce
the wages earned

brought forth a negro ditty that had

ANNEXATION OF CUBA

Senator Elkins has introduced in the
senate resolution providing for the
voluntary annexation of Cuba. The
senator is evidently preparing something
for the Cubans to fall on softly in case
they are denied reciprocity.
Many strong annexationists have from
the first professed Indifference to the
reciprocity measure, believing that it's re-
lection would hasten annexation. The
theory is that the planters, finding their
industry ruined because they are without
the boundaries of the United States,
would, together with all the affiliated In
terests in the island, set themselves Wig
orously to bring about annexation.
1t might work out that way, and again
it might not. Nations as we'll as indi-
viduals have been known to act in resent
CT an injury instead of in humility look
ing to better treatment in the future.
We believe with the president that the
relations of Cuba and thes United States
must be closer and closer and that the po-
little as well as the just course now is tc
take a step in harmony with that tend
ency instead of against It. "

How RETALIATE?

The New York Commercial, comment
ing on the recent Canadian boards of
trade convention in Toronto, points to the
fact that American exports ito Canada
continue to advance at rapid rate, not
withst anding a preferential reduction of
33 1-3 per cent On English goods and says
that if the Canadians should seek to build
still further tariff barriers against our
goods we can retaliate.
This is easier to say than to do. It
might be we'll for the Commercial to show
us wherein we could retalia,te effectively
If our tariff were not so high we might,
but as we have only a small portion of
the Canadian export trade, something like
$40, 100000, if we omit coin, bullion and
precious mineral ores, we cannot do them
much harm. The ultipate effect Of retail
iation on our part would only be to en-
phasize the Importance Of the United
Kingdom as market for Canadian prod
ucts.
The Commercial, as a supposedly broad
minded advocate of business interests,
should be doing it's best to aneliorat sin-
stead Of to embitter trade relations be-
tween the United States and Canada.

1t is natural that during the astounding
revelations Of the police corruption cases
which are depriving high officers of the
force of the respect of their subordinates
there should be a disappearance Of what
little discipline the force had had under
this administration. In this condition of
,demoralization the burden of preserving
order, and protecting. life and property
will fall largely on those officers whose
records are untainted and on the indi-
vidual policemen. They must strive to
make up by their own initiative and care

AN IMPORTANT DECISION

From Mr.. T. D. O'Brien's review in T b g
J ou r n a | Saturday of the decision rend-
cred by the United States supreme court
in the New Ulm coal rate case, it is plain
that the decision Is a very important one.
1t marks another step forward in that
progress of effectual control Of the rail-
ways by the state which we are bound to
have. as railroading is evolving, unless
the railroads are to control the state.
While IN deciding this particular case
1t was not necessary for the court to affirm
that state railroad commission has
power to impose upon railways joint
rate where none existed before, it does
distinctly affirm the commissions right
to regulate an established rate Of that
kind. and Enthusiastically indicates that
the court will hold, when the opportunity
offers, that the commission may originate
Joint rates. Another very important fea-
ture Of the decision is the upholding of
the law making the findings of the COM
mission prima facie correct, thus putting
the burden Of proof on the railways In
any effort to set them aside. 1t disposes
Ol the contention Lnat rates must De nXed
solely with regard to bonded indebtedness
and capital stock Of the railways.
In view of this decision it will be- sur
prising If any railroad attorney wilTscarry
to the supreme court case involving a
joint rate .unquestionably original. with
the commission. @a85,s; 81. ss vi ssE.
The court proceeds uponssth e. theory that
monopoly must be- regulated 7sby Tie
state. Whether that monopoly be exercised
by one company, or two companies, act
ing together, is evidently immaterial. Two
companies cannot be permitted to do what
one company IS forbidden to do. ~
Since, as the court says, so much of the
traffic on railways subject to the au-
thority of the state commission is bound
to be joint traffic, any other conclusion
than that arrived at by the court would
be to make the state railway cemmi ission
wholly inef1cacious in a large number II
not in majority, Of cases. = - vi : !, 40.

In the names of the signers of the bail

efforts to secure bail for its convicted

may find ample extra-judicial evidence
that fully corroborates some Of the re-

OF that kind Of support is to be seen in
