PREACHERS PROPOSE
 TO SIFT CHARGES.
Fight Will Be Made Upon President of Anti-Saloon League if Charges
 Preferred Are True.

Pine Bluff, Ark, Aug. 21.-The church people and those interested directly in the Anti-saloon league movement in this city are very much stirred up over charges recently pub lished against Rev. E. A. Tabor of Little Rock, editor of the Searchlight, and will probe the matter to the bot tom. A conference was held by Rev. U. M. Hawley, pastor of the First Methodist church; Rev. J. M. Ander- son of Conway; Rev. Dickerson, pas- tor of the Riverside Methodist church, and Rev. T. W. Scott, presiding elder of this district.
 "We certainly will not allow MT. Tabor to head the temperance move ment in our state if the charges are true" said MT. Anderson. "On the other hand, if these same charges are proven false somebody will have to make retractions.
 "Mr. Tabor is backed by hundreds of honest, reliable christians through out the state who are firm in their be- lief in his integrity, and the proof of his guilt will have to be positive. We will not take any old saloon bum's word against that of Mr. Tabor"
 The item that was published in the Pine Bluff Courier, and which has started the investigation, is as follows;
 "HE KNOWS THEM.

 "Among the visitors to Pine Bluff Tuesday was the Rev. E. A. Tabor of Little Rock, editor of the Searchlight of that place, and who is also a great temperance advocate and moral re- former, who wages war on all kinds of evil both from the pulpit and through his paper. While here he visited den of iniquity, for on Tues day night at late hour Courier re- porter saw Tabor in a Third avenue saloon enjoying a whisky sour.' The last seen of the gentleman he was hurrying in the direction of the ten aerIoin' district on East Barraque street as fast as his legs would carry him. We presume he was looking for other evils besides the saloon that he could roast in the 'Searchlight' on his return home; and tell what 8 sinful place he found Pine Bluff to be-"
 The Courier editor says he is ready to go into the court any time with the issue, and says he will put it there quickly if MT. Tabor will only make oath to the statements contained in his denial.
