! HIGHWAY ROBBERY
-ucp INSTANCE OF SELLING
or ONE OF DAVIS PAR
DONS.
.k .k,delpha Father Bled for Pardon
4or His Son by One of Cover
nor's Henchmen.
LooA,ING STORY OF INFAMY

Another instance of the governors
ofario,ls practice of selling pardons is
resented in me pardon issued sew
ral months ago to the young man,
obn Harbin, who was convicted in
bis county for selling whisky, says
he Arkadelphia Standard. This time
he work was done through the fellow
/ Farmer, one of Davis henchmen
or Clark and adjoining counties, and
he process of bleeding Former re-
korted to, as told by j. P. Harbin,
atber Of the young man, is appalling
its cold bloodedness.
| Young Harbin was convicted for
elling whisky and was sentenced and
heing held in prison alright enough,
Ind it was certain that the only pos
ib)e way to keep him from serving
lis time was through pardon from
he governor. Harbin, senior, was
lown with a bad leg at the time and
es;gned himself over entirely to the
ender mercies of Farmer, the favorite
bf our governor. At first Farmer said
he would get the pardon and would
tharge nothing more than the actual
expenses. He was first given ten dol
lars to make a trip to Little Rock
Ind came back with all the money
spent and claimed that he could do
hothing with Davis. He was again
kiven ten dollars to make another
rip but again came back without the
bardon, and said that it was first nee
Essary to go to Hot Springs and OBJ
lain revenue license which would
kost twenty-five dollars with an ad-
|itional ten dollars Ior expenses to go
10 Hot Springs, but he came back
Fithout the license and with all the
Expense money and with five dollars
the license money spent. Finally
farmer was given the pardon, and
hen he went to the old man and told
i'm that he must be given one hun
red dollars or his son would be put
ack in prison. The old man would
lave given the scoundrel what he de-
handed, but one of our citizens en-.
eryened about that time and told him
lot to do it.
Was ever such a deliberate selling
official clemency INDUCED in in
ny commonwealth? The very idea OF
ne governor of Arkansas issuing a
afdon and turning it over to such a
ascal as Farmer virtually telling him
60 ahead and get what he could out
1t. This is just like the Johnson
ardon was issued though Farmer was
OF able to bleed his victim as much
the Eureka Springs lawyers did.

Three plans for removing the compe-

HOME CONCERN FEARS IT
Argue that Thorpe's Trust Cure Would
Hurt Them.

D. W.:Lawler and NJ. D. Flower ap-
neared before the senate judiciary COM
mittee yesterday afternoon to argue
against the Thorpe antitrust bill on be-
half Of the South ST. Paul packing and
stockyards interests. Mr.. LAWYER pointed
ont that the bill. if passed, would only
tend to hamper home institutions, while
It could not touch the real trusts, which
operate under the interstate commerce
law. The Thorpe bill requires publicity
for the business of Minnesota manulac-
tures which would put their outside com
netitors in possession of the information
and give them an immense advantage. The
provision against selling goods below mar
ket value would only prevent home con
Germs from selling in competition with the
trusts.
