Words We Appreciate.
PHILADELPHIA, PA, Oct. 10.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Oct. 10. MR. c. A. NEAL,
 Williams. Arizona.
 DEAR SIR:-Owing to my absence from the city during the summer months, I overlooked the fact that my subscription to the News ex- pired July 18th, 1903. Realizing that the publishing of newspaper is not very profitable unless the subscribers promptly pay their debts, I hasten to renew my sub scription, and enclose herein a pos tai money order for three dollars. desire to congratulate you up the improvement of the News in many respects, and l am especially pleased to note that you are devo- ting a column to the general news of the territory. Some of us here in the East have an idea that Ari- zona will soon become the greatest mineral producing STATE in the Union, and that, with it's mag nificent scenery and incomparable climate, will make it especially at tractive to both tourists and set tiers. I hope Williams may con- tinue to grow, and its people ap- preciate their home newspaper.
 Very truly yours,
 JOHN T. POTTS.

OWING to the fact that the big railroad dam is still almost full of water, some preparation should be made, before winter sets in, to guard against the overflow which is bound to occur when the wet season sets in.

COMPLICATED SITUATION.

Standing on his right to imprison
any one who may be in contempt of
his court, and denying the constitu-
tional right of the governor to pardon
any one sentenced therefor, Circuit
Judge A. B. Grace, of Pine Bluff, this
morning reopened the case Of Ulysses
man to serve ten hours in the coun-
ty Jail, the remainder of the sentence
he would have served had Gov. Davis
not pardoned him before the expira-
ton Of the same.
In reopening the case. it is under
stood that Judge Grace referred to
the action of the governor in rather
uncomplimentary terms
The lawyers of this city say the
governor has no right to pardon for
contempt, and that Judge Grace is
within his rights.
The clash between the judge and
the governor is the subject of inter-
ested comment in this city. At noon
we had rot been advised as to the
course the governor would pursue. 1t
is presumed that he will insist upon
his right to issue pardon. and that
the sheriff of Jefferson county will
be instructed to release young AL
theimer. In that case the Judge may
insist that the sheriff obey his orders.
and thus force the situation. Judge
Grace might even advise the sheriff
that he would imprison him If he re-
leased Altheimer before the expira-
tion of his sentence, and the legal
fraternity of this city is agreed that
the judge would have this right.
Young Altheimer is son of Louis
Altheimer, who testified in the re-
cent Davis investigation, and it is
understood the governor is a personal
friend of the Altheimer's.-Little Rock
Democrat

Gou'ds After Kansas City Southern.
Gould interests are said to be trying
to get control Of the Kansas City
Southern. What means will be used
to get control Of the road are not
stated, but it is thought that a combi-
nation will be effected with A. e. Still
we'll, president Of the Kansas City.
Mexico and Orient railway. Dutch
capitalists and the Goulds to break
the control which Hartman has had
of the road for some time, says the
st. Louis Republic. The Goulds know
that the road would make an excellent
feeder for the Iron Mountain, through
a large part of its territory, and it's
business is steadily increasing. A.
E. Stillwell has been in close business
arrangements with the Goulds for
some time lately, making arrange
ments for the use Of tracks belonging
to the Guilds outside Of Kansas City.
1t is said that Stilwell is willing to
lend his aid to the effort to get the
control from Hartman, and can influ-
ence the Dutch capitalists to do the
same. Whether it will be determined
to break the present voting trust of
the Kansas City Southern or wait
for two years, when the trust expires,
is question. George Gould is vice.
to the Goulds outside of Kansas City.
and holds a place on the board of di-
rectors, but it is believed will be salts

Monticello on the morning of Tues
day of next week. At Dermott com.
mittee Of the citizens OF Monticello

FOURTH MILLION
e. Il. LAKE CONFESSES THAT HE
is SHORT THAT MUCH IN
HIS ACCOUNTS.
Just What Has Gone With the Money
Is Question Nobody
Can Solve.

The examination of E. H. Lake, of
the Alphin-Lake Cotton company, be-
fore Referee P. c.. Dooley, which has
been in. progress for three days, has
developed some very interesting facts,
says the Little Rock Democrat
During the progress Of the testi-
mony yesterday Mr.. Lake testified as
to the number of bales of cotton that
went into the compress at El Dorado
!, on the account of the Alphin-Lake
Cotton company, from points in Lou
isiana, and from the testimony taken
in Ell Dorado as to the amount turned
into the press from the cotton yards
at El Dorado it developed that the
Alphin-Lake Cotton company shipped
out over 1900 bales less than actually
went into the compress on their &C.
count.
Another important development,
came from Mr.. Lakes books, which
SHOW purchases OF more lndn o,lUU
bales of cotton in the town of Ell Do
RADIO, than were turned into the COM
press All of this cotton was paid for
on drafts drawn by John Turrentine,
in favor of the bank of Ell Dorado
From Lakes own statement it de-
veloped that there was a shortage Of
$250.00O in his business, above the
losses on cotton, which he states, on
cotton disposed of, was about $124,-
900. This indebtedness and short
age included the overdrafts on the
Bank of Little Rock for $159, 1853,
the amount owed the Little Rock
Trust company, and about $174,00O
due the Iron Mountain on account
of the amount paid by the road for
the money advanced on bills of lad
ing, for which there was no cotton.
Just what became of the cotton and
the hundreds of thousands Of short
age, has not yet developed. The ex-
animation on the part of the trustee
for the creditors will probably be con-
cluded tomorrow.
