] GRAND !: JURY'S REPORT
RECOMMENDS SOME ACTION TOWARD HAVING
Nh PRISONER TRANS FERRED FROM COUNTY JAIL TO
# ASYLUM, FOREMAN INoULcEs IN DISCUS
N

Ss In a written report to the presiding
fudge Thursday at noon, the grand
Jury recommended to the court that
40me action be taken with reference
,tUkan inmate of the county Jail named
4yfas. T. burk, alleged to be insane.
Bur-. vas arrested some time ago on
scriminal charge, and was confined in
the county Jail pending investigation.
AT erward the county physician is
Id to have examined the man and
IDnounced him insane. He was kept
1n TIA county Jail, however. In sub
1nitt z the report of the grand jury
III Ne court Thursday morning, Fore
nan G. L. Madding supplemented the
IMPORT with a verbal explanation, in
Which he stated that County Judge
| erwin had been examined by the
ind jury and had explained that the
son he had kept Burk in Jail was
cause of the fact that it would cost
to have him examined for lunacy.
:. ke report submitted to the court IN
iting is as follows:
&Fo the Honorable A. B. Grace, judge
the Eleventh Judicial circuit: We,
Iur grand jury for the September
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1905-09-28

term, now in session, beg to report
to your honor that we find by investi-
cation an inmate in the county Jail
by the name of Chas. T. Burk. 1t is
reported that Burk is insane, and your
grand jury begs the court to recon-
mend some action whereby some dis
position can be had in this case. So
far as the criminal charge against
Burk is concerned, the grand jury has
seen proper, after investigation, to
take no action, because we believe
from the evidence we have been able
to gather that Burk Is insane.
G. L. MADDING, Fol eman.
The jury reported sc indictments,
and the following discharges:
Ruth Harper, charged with grand
larceny.
Austin Bifin and Thad. Boatman
charged with grand larceny.

that the railroads shall not give free
Transportation to officials and impos-
es penalty of from 5000 to $4,000 for
each offense. The acceptance of pass
es by officials is covered by section
6697 of Kirby's digest, which Is as
follows:
"Any such officer, legislative, execu-
tive or judicial, of this state, who
shall accept and use any such free
pass to be transported for any dis
tance over the line of any such rail
road or transportation company, eth
er free of charge or for less compen-
sation than that received from the
general public, shall for every case,
where such pass is so used, be deem
ed guilty of misdemeanor, and on
conviction thereof shall be subject to
a fine of not less thin 500 nor more
than 5000 and shall be removed from
office. Such officer may be prosecuted
in any county where he resides or in
which any such free pass may have
been used by him.
This act was intended to apply to
all officials of the state, but at subse-
quent sessions of the legislature acts
have been passed exempting certain
officials from it's provisions. At one
session a law was passed exempting
sheriffs from the provisions of the
former act and it is provided that it
shall not be unlawful for railroad
companies to furnish free passes tc
these officers. Later acts were pass
ed providing that passes may be giver
to the state superintendent Of publ,
instruction and the commissioner O.
mines, manufactures and agriculture
The exceptions were made in thes,
cases on account of the large amour
of travelling that these officials are re
quired to do.

Little Rock, Sept. 28.-The prosecu-
ton of the railroads fer giving passes
to members of the last general assem-
bly, will not stop with the suit filed
Tuesday by Prosecuting Attorney Rho
ton against the Iron Mountain to COL
lect the penalty Of $4,000 for giving
free transportation to a certain state
SENATOR whose name was not disclos-
ed in the complaint.
Mr.. Rhoton intimated that he has
the names of a number of legislatsI-
who held railroad passes. which he
can furnish to the railroads when the
proper time comes.
There was considerable speculation
yesterday as to whether the officials
who held these passes would be pros
ecuted, but Mr.. Rhoton declined to
make any statement in regard to that
matter~.
The Law in Case.
Under the law which prohibits the
railroads from giving passes or reduc-
ed rate, transportati to state off
scials, it IS also made an offense for
the officials to accept the transporta-
ton. Sections 6694 and 6695 provide

CHANGE OF COURT HOUR,

After October I, the police court
hours will be changed from 1880 in
the morning to o'clock a. m. The
days are growing so much shorter
now, that Judge Toney has decided to
change the hours for holding the morn
ing session of the police court, con-
vening the same half an hour later.
This will keep the night men up half
an hour later every morning, but it is
pointed out that they do not retire be-
fore that time anyway, and the extra
half hour makes little difference to
them.

On Track Of Yellow Fever Germ.
New Orleans, Sept 28.-(Special.)
The yellow fever germ, in cellular
form, is believed to have been found
and definitely described by DR.. O. L.
Pothier, pathologist of the Charity
hospital this city Since August 1.
DR.. Pothier and his assistants have
conducted elaborate and minute inves-
legations and experimenting with
blood from 100 fever patients in vari-
Gus stages of the disease, and with
blood from the stegomyia faciata, in
fected and nOn-infected and making
comparisons, they discovered what
they believe to be the germ of the yell
low fever disease. The news of tie
discovery has excited the intense in.
terest of medical and laymen all over
the south, and further experiments
will be made to discover a speific for
the germ. The full details of the tests
have not been made public but from
the fact that DIR. Pothier gave out the
Information it is believed that there
is bstantial grounds for certainty
thatZthe mystical germ has at last
