Attemt of a California Ring to Inn
pose on the Government

SAN FRANCISCO. September IA bold
attempt has JUS been discovered to de-
fraud the government by shipping back to
China on the steamer Gaelic six imposters
In place of six Chinese who were ordered
deported by United States District Judge
De Haven. One arrest has been made In
the case, and others Will follow shortly
More sensational developments are ex-
pected, as 1t Is believed that the govern
ment has stumbled onto the work Of =
ring.
1t Is the contention Of the government
officials that the six genuine Chinese were
in the county Jail yesterday morning, and
that they were removed from there at Z
o'clock by a deputy United States marshal.
and taken in q hack to the Pacific mnil
dock. From there they were placed safely
ON board tho steamer Gaelic FIVE hours
later the men could not be found. but In
their stead were fmposters IN no way re-
sembling them IN appearance.
At a late hour last night the officials were

There Is to be a railroad built from Dick
erson's west Of Boyd's to a point near Su-
gar Loaf Mountains one and a half miles
from Dickerson's. for the purpose of haul
ing some fine quality of white granite rock,
white marble and red rock that is in mex
haustible quantities in the mountain side
there. The white granite quarries were
worked as far back as In 1880. and the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal auueduct built at
the mouth Of Monocacy river, Just one milo
from Dickerson's. was constructed of this
rock in 1888 and is considered one of the
finest canal aQueducts in the United States
today. Fine engineering made 1t the grand
est and most substantial structure ever
seen. Engineers of repute often visit II
now to see the wonderful structure Tho
stone OF which it was constructed has hard
~ shown any perceptible wear at all.
These uuarries are now to be operated by
a New York syndicate to supply stone for
building the big union tunnel under WASH
tngten city and for the approaches of tho
y1aducts OF the Baltimore and Ohio and
pennsylvania railroads in that city. Civil
engineers ere now surveying right of way
through farms there. which. 1t Is stated,
cannct be gotten without some little
trout lie.

Gpen for acceptance the Graphic is
unable to say, bat it was made.
The Graphic does not believe in the
violation of contract. but on tho
other hand believes that its terms
should be rigidly complied with by
all the parties To it. The county
should adhere strictly to the condi
tions imposed by the present con
Wet contract and Capt Cross should
be required 10 do the same The
Graphic does not possess any knowI-
edge other than that Capt. Cross is at
present doing this. However it docs
know that there We're complaints to

he was not filing the monthly state

by the law, he is required to file
The convict contract is matter
which Judge Phillips should, and no

and if failure continues, he should

would relieve the county and the court
officials of the losses now being sus.

save this present loss of $4,000 to the
county and the courts, Capt Cross
or anybody else employing convict

While the figures given to the
| Graphic as to the percentage of the
costs of the court officials which may
hc la;d under the present contract,
are practically correct, those
justices of the peace and con-
stables VINO nave been interviewed on

an nji3 jlce TO them which should

company, which was organized and in
scorporated for $1,000,000, and which
was mentioned in the Graphic Tues
day has made arrangements to con-
meet with the new phone exchange
in Pine Bluff. This will give the city
another long distance service that is
very extensive in it's entirety. This
scompany is owned by the Ohio COM
4rany, which is one of the largest long
distance telephone companies in the
world. When they enter Pine Bluff
this city will be in touch with all Of
Texas and the country lying between

that would drag him down to a low

SO many homeless young men in the
city, and all honor should be given to

with love for young men and boys,
and whose money has made it pos

This year will be the largest and

directors have determined to make
this a year of growth and advance

pushed forward with increasing Wig

q The turn the railroads have taken
against the mayor in his efforts to COL
lect the $25 license on switch tracks is
what was looked for. They asked for
8a temporary injunction in the federal
court at Little Rock, which was grant
led.
The original franchise was given to
THE Texas and st. Louis Railway COM
srany which has been conveyed to the
st. Louis and Southwestern railway,
filled the suit in the United States
court for temporary injunction. In
their complaint the company claims
that it is released from paying
spur franchise by the ordinance pass
Ted December Z, 1881, which reads in
part as follows:
"Provided, however, said railroad
3company shall locate the center of said
srailroad near the center of the street
Ms the same can conveniently be done,
Shall leave a full, free wagon road on
kAh side of said track in said street"
he ordinance in another place
states that Full right and privileges

are hereby granted and conferred to
said railway company, to have, own,
erect, build or extend it's said railway
track, side track or switches Of its
said road upon the said street or inter
sections thereof
The company claims it is the right
Of the company to use the streets for
switches and that the ordinance later
passed is in direct voiatlon of the Or
dinance granting the right of way, and
that the latter ordinance requiring the
$25 yearly license is null and void.
The question involved is whether or
not the city can regulate to any eX-
tent the building, grading and net
work of tracks that the patrons of the
railroads find necessary in their bust
ness to have constructed.
At places on Third avenue the street
has been so taken up by the railroad
that full wagon road is not left, though
wagons do wedge through.

porter that the city would meet the

More About Coal Oil Prices

Ion quantities. They say most of their
sales are in fve-gallon quantities.
hence they ought to have given prices
on fve-gallon quantities when asked
for prices on oils The Graphs is
at all times willing to give the retailers
credit for all and even more than is
due, hence it prints today what they
say is the price on oils
in five-gaIlon quantities. How
ever. the Graphic Will not at
any time shirk its duty by failing to
criticise any unjust profits on any of
the necessities, and feels today that
it was fully warranted in the criti
cisms it made of the prices on coal
oil to Pine Bluff consumers, hence no
apologies to offer.

The Graphic desires to call attcn-
ton to some very bad management
of the county'S affairs in the making
OF the contract for the working of the
county convicts. Under the present
contract with Capt. }. c. Cross the
county is losing about $1,000 a year,
which could have been saved. When
the contract was made it
stipulated that the cOun-
ty should pay the fare of the convicts
from Pine Bluff to the convict farm
in Lincoln county, which is $3.50 for
each convict, and hire a warden at
salary of $50 month. 1t also costs
the county $40 a month for a guard to
convey the conviets to the farm. There
is an average of ten convicts a month
to be carried to the farm, making
$3.50 month for transportation, a
total of sos year. At $50 a month
for warden is 5000 more year, and
$40 month for a guard to accompany
the convicts to the farm is $240 more,
81 $40 a year. That is the loss to JEFF
ferson county each year, and if the
Graphic is correctly informed it is
wholly unnecessary that the county
| should be sustaining this loss. The
loss to the county is not the only loss
| created by the present contract, by
| the terms of which Capt. Cross pays
| to the officers of the court in which
the convictions are made 90 cents a
| cay for each convict as court costs
This pays only about 65 per cent. OF
the costs, and for year this loss to
the court officers amounts to about
81 500, which added to the losses OF
the county makes total of over So,
coo a year. by the present contract
which could have been saved.
The Graphic has it on good author
1ty that at the time the present con
tract was made Col. John M. Gracie
had in a bid for the conYictS by which
all this loss to the county and court
ffiecrs could have been avoided. Mr.
| Oracle offered to pay all court costs
receive tho prisoners at the county
jail and bear the expense Of convey
ing them to his plantation. and to pay
the salary of warden, the county
Judge to select the warden. Why The
| contract should have been made Whor
