lie Little Rock Gazette contains
the following account Of the baseball
.aMo between the Little Rock South
et4 league team and the Pine Bluff
Roek yesterday afternoon:
Finn S TiSers-the same WHO have
net been tigering so much Of late--cor-
rallied cripple al West End park
yesterday afternoon and threw the
aforesaid cripple upon the ground and
gnawed him and paved him and shook
him. They were brave old tigers yes
terda,y. They growled and roared
and were very bad.
The score at the wind-up was: Pine
Bluff 8; Little Rock, T.
1t was better day for hog killing
than for baseball. 4 wind that had
escaped from some place in ine frozen
north swept across the field and set
teeth to chattering.
AS to the game there is not much to
say Neither team scored in the first.
In the second Pine Bluff made one
and took rest until the seventh, when
she rolled up two more. The last two
came after Pat Wright had let a little
easy one pass between his tiny feet.
That started it. Price, who was the
lucky batter of it, reached first and
came home by easy stages. Longley
crossed the last station in the circuit
in this inning just before O'Rourke
died between first and second. Pat
Wright is an honest old ballplayer
and the team is none too fast for him.
What is more, Pat Wright is popular
with the fans and there is reason for
it.
Little Rock scored two runs in the
second, two in the fourth, one in the
fifth and two in the seventh. Potts

SENATOR CALDWELL'S BILL
To Regulate Price of Gas, Water and
Electricity Passes House

to seek to elect members of the city
councils. He hoped that in respect
to the constitutional rights of the cit
liens of Pine Bluff and other cities
they would be given a hearing. MI
KerWin resented the idea that the
Pine Bluff delegation here on this bill
representative citizens who had a
right TO be heard.
MI Arnold said there seemed to
be a tendency in the house when cor
poratiCns are mentioned for the mem
bers TO go Wild It would not be fair,
he argued, to deny hearing to men
Who have millions invested. He de
ciared there had been no demand from
the people for bill OF this kind. He
contended that the bill ought to go
before committee If it was good
measure it would not suffer.
Mr. Poole said no fair-minded man
would find the bill a bugaboo. Epi-
thets We're always cast al measures
for the relief of the masses He re-
ferred to the conditions in Little Rock
and emphasized the need for bill
like this to afford relief. The bill pro-
yides that five citizens may appeal to
the council for relief from exorbitant
rates. 1t was fair and just, and he op-
posed sending the bill to sleep in a
committee
Mr. Cate opposed reference to the
bill for the reason that the house
could not compel it's return inside of
ten days. There was but one time to
do a just and proper act, and that
was the present He hoped the men,
bers would vote down all propositions
of delay We all know, said Mr.. Cate,
what these innocent-looking amend.
ments and speeches mean. Where
was the difference in letting the state
regulate the railroads and letting the
councils regulate local corporations
He hoped the bill would not be sent
to an ignominious death in commit
tee.
The motion to place the bill back
on it's second reading was lost, ayes

on its final passage.
MIR. Toney spoke briefly using irony

reasons for the passage of the bill.

a woman, who a long time ago ap-
piled to well known officer of the
government for advice as to how to
proceed against Supt Machen to COL
lect debt of $500 she claimed he
owed her.
The woman says she applied to Mr..
Machen for position in the service;
that he had expressed his willingness
to help her; that. therefore, she had
been approached by certain persons
closely connected with him at re-
quest for loan of money, which she
gave; that she waited year for an
appointment, although she was conf
dent her loan was intended as a con-
sideration to Mr.. Machen for services
she was to receive in obtaining en-
ployment; that when she did get a
lob it was as a "mechanic" in the Bal
timore postoffice, where she figured on
the roll under initials which gave no
indication of her sex, and that she was
carried at SO day on the list Of per-
sons employed in erecting and paint

Little Rock, April 15.-In the house
the governors veto Representative
Rov d. Campbels bill providing for
redigesting the supreme court to ap-
point the digester. The vote on pass
ing the measure over the veto was So
ayes to 81 noes. Fiftyone votes We're
required. The bill was vetoed by the
governor on April 2. principally on
the ground that the appointment of
the digester is function of the eX-
ecutive and not of the judicial depart
ment.
The house passed Senator Caldwell' S
bill empowering city councils to reg
ulate prices charged for water, gas
and electricity.
The house adopted Senator Hud-
dleston's concurrent resolution invit-
ing VIM. r. Hearst, Of New York, to
address the general assembly.
The house passed Senator Gray S
bill. applying to limited number of
counties, providing for a division OF
the liquor license revenue for the ben
eft of the school fund
The senate passed the Stockard bill
for a bounty of fifty cents each on
hawks and foxes killed.
The senate had a red-hot fight over
the Myers bill to regulate the supply
of cars to shippers. The bill was
finally returned to it's second reading.
The senate finally concurred in the
house amendment to Senator Logan's
bill striking out the section providing
that so per cent. of the railroad tax
paid in cities of the second class and
incorporated towns to be used for
street improvements.

Water, Gas and Electric CHARGES.

Senate bill No. 260 (CaldwelD, au-
thorizing city and town councils to
regulate charges for water, gas and
electric lights. was read for the third
time in the house.
Mr.. Toney moved that the bill be
placed back on its second reading. He
said there are about dozen citizens
from Pine Bluff here desiring to
be heard on the bill. There was. he
said an apparent disposition to rail
road the bill through The bill may
be a good one. but citizens have q
right to petition and be heard It
was asked that the bill could be re
ferred to a committee, where a hear
ing could be had. If the bill has a
tendency to lower water and light
rates he would favor it. but he ar
gued that the people have a right TO
be heard on it.
Mr.. McGuigan believed the bill
strikes in the right direction, but he
understood no undue influence would
be brought to bear to prevent its pass
age, hence he favored referring it
to committee.
Mr.. Fuller hoped the bill would be
returned to its second reading. as
there were delegations here from Pine
Bluff and Hot Springs anxious to be
heard upon it.
Mr.. Whitley opposed the motion
He declared the bill was one of the
best that had ever come before the
house. "We have in our midst today
lobbyists said Mr.. Whitley, "and the
people who are outraged by these cor
pofatiOns are at hOme' He was op

Were the members here to act on the
be and nod of lobbyists, or were
u here to represent the people?
Merriman opposed the motion
said the water privilege was much
abused in Little Rock. Reference OF
the bill at this time meant delay and
probably defeat. The purpose of the
bill was to lodge the power of regula
ton where it belonged-in the city
councils. There ought to be restric
ions imposed. The bill ought to pass
and pass at this time. The conditions
exacted in Little Rock had been al
:. most uncomfortable.
