THE STATES RESPONSIBILITY.

II ERE is problem that legislators
Il in the future might ponder with

guilty Of minor offenses to jail for

such as to undermine their health and
virtually result in a death penalty, who

ticular case or cases, for men viii
grow sick and die in or out Of prison;
but we have in mind the general fact
that our jails, particularly in Kent
and Sussex, are institutions by their
very nature that make health of mind

TIE King antitrust bill was presented to th. governor for his signature at 2s5g ?. n. Monday and at o'clock message was received saying the measure had been approved. and @ithin sixty days t will become effective. Elsewhere in this issue will bt- found an article giving some Of the provisions of the measure. Just what the result of the law will bc seems 10 be q question on which there is considerable di- versity of opinion. 4 great many people among them d number Of members Of the gener- al asscmbly-fear that il will re- sult in harm instead of good. and the bill would probably not have passed had not the Democratic State Convention declared for 1t in terms that could not be mis- understood. II has been stated that under the terms Of the law II will be unla wful for the fruit and berry shipping organizations 10 continue In existence, but 1t Is certainly t0 be hoped that such will not prove to De the case. At the request Of the fruit grow CTS union of Siloam Springs the mayor of the town has issued q call for mass meeting to be held Saturday to discuss the repeal or amendment of the law. 4 num- Der of fire insurance companies have withdrawn, or will with draw, from the state and others announce that they will remain and test the coastitutionality Of the measure, so there promises to be some lively doings. Anyway, we will soon know just what the anti-trust law will do for us-or do to us.

PUBLISH THE LAWS.

During the recent business meeting of tf7e Arkansas Press Association resolution Was framed and ordered presented =fo the legislature asking that b0dg t0 enact laH providing for the publication in one newspaper in each county of all laws of general import. Or at least synopeis of same. enacted by the general as- seubly as soon as approved We believe this should b. promptly acted upon bY the Legislators. Justice to the people of the state requires that they be informed of the laws which they are expected to obef, and yet how can they know them when there k no way in which they are made pubic. unless the newspaper do 70 Of their own initiative At every session there arc many laws en- acted. others are amended, chang ing their provisions which affect ma ajority of the people, yet noth- ing is done to inform them of such law Or amendment. k 1t just to expect the people to observe laws ard yet de nothing to inform them as to tn heir T nature Only recently we had an experience of what dis advantage laN-obserglng citizens have been labering under. The last general assembl ! enacted q laa making # unlawful to sell any kind of game except rabbits and squirrels. A I matter of news se recently published synopsis of the law and then one of our readers informed us that unwit- tingly his son had come near yio- lating that law having intended to bring lot of quails to town the following day and offer them for sale for the purpose of buying some shoes with the proceeds. We believe our representatives can be depended upon to do all ir their power to assist in the enact ment of such law. Van Buren Press.
 There is law in some states requiring the publication of the new laws in each county and The News believes the pres- ent general assembly would be commended by their constituents If they would enact such law in Arkansas. It would certainly be something that would be in the interests of all the people. Every citizen of the state is subject to the penalties Of law he violates although he may never have heard Of the existence Of such law. The News hopes to see the members from Washington Coun- ty support he measure.

4 Murder in Madison County Re-
 called.

called
 The report circulated yesterday that :. M. Hilkers5z q 7575 Springfield avenue had been ar Tested < absolutely false The report started from t1- fat that he l. aa bond under indictment sworn oat before the grand 1arF of Huntsville. Ark. for be5ng an accessory 10 the shooting to death of q man bv the name of Lane eH March u. 1870. THe Indictment was sworn out March z. f9s1-, bY Mrs. :. 5. Raf-rtY. and Dr. Wil- kzrson has bean under bond since that tine. He was U Huntsville q short time q go and his freIHds were much surprised at his iadict- mrnt. as indeed are al his friends here iu this city.
 Dr. HflkrrSoa states thatIr hf> opinion the matter | simply bfackmaii. and that fle was in La faTette county at the time the murder 2as committed He has lived in this city for the past seventeen years and before that lived n Humansviile. Polk coaH- tF. for eighteen YearS. going there from Lafayette county.
 Dr. WiIkerson states that hi> brother was killed by Lane and that the same day Lane was kill ed bv Jim Hunter On account Of hard feeling on the war question. Hunter k one of the men he is said 10 have been in colluslon with. the other being Jim Lear, both of whom are now dead. Thus he Is said to be an accessory to the murder. He says that af- ter shooting Lane Hunter went to Texas where he remained until his death.
 Mrs. Rafferty was at this time the wife Of Lane although they were separated and had nothing to do with each other.
 Two years ago Mrs. Lane now Mrs Rafferty came to Dr. Wilker- son and said that for S5.000 she would not prosecute him but would disappear completely. She claims she has been looking for him for the past thirty-fiye years. Dr. Wilkerson says that in that time she has been married four or five times. She wrote to him several times demanding money, or threatened prosecution, but he says that he made no reply to these letters.
 Mrs. Rafferty bears very bad reputation many people being absolutely afraid of her. She IS a grafter by profession, Dr. Wilkerson says, and has served a term in the pen itentiary for burning houses for the insurance. and 1t Is said that she had very smooth way oi going about 1t. She once got into serious trouble in Kansas City by burning a house in which It IS said that d man was burned to death; from punishment for this, however she escaped. She has led very adventurous life and has always been out flor the coin, and from her trying to buy Dr. Wilkerson off, 1t IS thought this IS another of her gratis. In this case she has as d witness a nephew of Lanes who claims to have seen the shooting but can not identify Wilkerson as the man.
 When Mrs. Rafferty was here in 1902 she saw Prosecuting At. torney Patterson and tried to have him prosecute the case, but he refused to have anything to with the matter. She then saw Perry Allan and he told her she had better watch out or she would get into trouble. After this 1t was some time before she was heard from, but 1t seems she was work ing all the time to bring forward d good case and last March she had the indictment sworn before
