The James Suit.


City Attorney Coleman advised the
council that the case Of T. S. James
against the city of Pine Bluff was now
before the court, and had been partial
~ argued; that the court had postpon-
ed the case until tomorrow in order
that he MIGHT consult with the council
as to further procedure with the case.
He asked the council to give him posi-
tive instructions whether or not they
wanted the suit further defended; that
he had been advised that some of the
aldermen since the last meeting Of the
council had expressed opinion in fav-
or of not defending the suit; that he
had no personal interest in the matter,
but wanted positive instructions.
Mayor Bell said that he did not see
the necessity Of any further instruc-
tions to the city attorney. 1t was the
duty of the attorney to proceed with
the defence of the suit, without any
furthern instructions.
Mr. Arthur Murray addressed the
council contending that Mr.. James
should be allowed to erect his build
ing on the old foundation.
After discussion of the matter by
the council and mayor no action was
taken, and on motion the council ad-
joulned.

either the company c: the city. and
if the company it should be required
to do it without delay, and if it is the
city's duty the same promptness
should prevail in doing the work that
should on the other hand be requir
ed of the company. AS to the track
level, it would be difficult right now
now to get it adjusted to the street
level with the present muddy condi-
ton of the streets, but it is true that
the railway tracks are too high above
the street level in many places the
year round. This should not be the
case.
What is true as to the level Of the
street railway tracks is also true of
the Cotton Belt and Iron Mountain
tracks.

Miss Chester did some excellent work

good support from the remainder of

the last Legislature which was con-
trolled in it's organization by the
DauGherty men.
Cox is now supporting Price for
Speaker, saying he was pledged to him
before the present complications arose.
While Cox is friendly with both sena-
tors. Daugherty is an avowed opponent
Of both and the local feature of the
contest is the fact that Hanna and
Daugherty are for the same man for
Speaker. The ENHANCEMENT goes still
further with some in talking about
Foraker and Cox being for the same
man for Speaker. And the crossing of
wires extends to Ex-Governor Foster,
Ex-Governor Bushnell, eX-State Chair
man Kurtz and others who are now
cooperating with those from whom
they are said to have been estranged
in late years.
Ignoring the Daugherty element en-
tirely, Cox endeavored originally to
have an agreement among the leaders
and found no opposition to Price for
Speaker. After Cox had committed
himself he says the Hanna men said
Price would not do. Referring to his
original canvassing and the present
complications, Cox says he found Sem
ator Foraker at first friendly to Nc
Kinnon, although not pledged, and
Senator Hanna favorable to Price and
at the time that he committed himself
both of the senators approved of Price
for Speaker. Mr.. Cox insists that the
present entanglements are temporary
only and viii have no bearing on flu
ture politics of the state.
With Cox in charge of the Price
forces and Congressman Dick direct
ing the McKinnon forces, the contest
has. today. narrowed down. to two or
three members out of the 6S Republi-
cans in the House. Cox arrived last
evening, and Dick, this morning, and
at noon today, the doubtful list had
been reduced to the closest margin
with 80 votes necessary to nominate for
Speaker and Price and McKinnon each
lacking two votes. The factions are
charging on each others lines and try
ing to break them down by changes
