Not for Municipal Ownership.
(Courier-J -Journal.)

'SCuAACt 7oObi haisJ
The general committee of Tam
many, on motion of Mr.. Bourke Coch
ran, adopted a series of resolutions
which indicates that the support of
that organization cannot be had for
municipal ownership. Here is a
specimen of what they contain:
Whether public utility be ad-
ministered by government itself. or
by a private corporation, we hold
that every person who uses II should
be held TO pay the cost of the service
which he receives, and that no man
should be compelled by TAXATION or
otherwise to bear any part of his
neighbors expense for light and pow
er, for telephone service or for trans
portation of himself or of his goods.
Every proposal that a municipal
ity assume operation of all public
utilities and reduce rates to persons
using them, regardless of what the
service may actually cost. is an at
tempt to force some men to bear the
expenses of others, because where
the outlay for operation exceeds earn
ings, the deficit must be made up by
taxation, and this we denounce as
sociaiistic, and therefore hostile to
justice and subversive of democratic
government.
This means that the advocates Of
municipal ownership are not to have
the cooperation of Tammany in the
coming campaign.

Carthage Offers Protest.

The action of the Missouri Pacific system in starting White River trains from Joplin instead of Carthage has aroused the ire of Carthage business men. It is claimed that when Carthage raised the money for building the new road into that city a con- tract was signed by ussell Harding, then general manager of the Missouri-Pacific, guaran- teeing that Carthage would be the terminus of White River trains. The action of c. H. Kohrer, district agent of the road, resident of Joplin, and who has financial interests in that city, in securing the first passenger train service with ter minus at Joplin is considered a violation of the contract signed by MT. Harding. Yellville Echo.

Sensation in the IrayIor Case.

Searcy, Jan. 28-The case of State vs. James Traylor, charged with the murder of Sutton Thompson, consumed the day in circuit court. The evidence on the part of the state tended to show that James Traylor had gotten into a difficulty with Thompson apparently for the purpose of killing him, but the prosecution failed to show any motive for the killing. The de- fense has made out a strong case of self-defense.
 The sensation of the day was when William Booth, who is also indicted for the same crime, tes- tified that a certain person had made a proposition to him to turn states evidence and incrim- mate the others, no matter how guilty he was, and he would see that he was turned loose.
 The case will go to the jury Monday.

COVINGTON AGAIN ARRESTED.
President of Arkansas Senate Arrested On Three Indictments for Bribery
 And Conspiracy.

Little Rock, Jan. 28. Senator Alonzo w. Covington of Clarks- vile, president of the senate at the last session of the general assembly, was arrested yester- day on a charge of bribery for the second time since the grand jury began it's investigation of boodling charges about nine months ago.
 Senator Covington was taken into custody on three bench war rants, two of which charge him with bribery and the other with conspiracy. The warrants were issued on indictments which were returned by the grand jury upon it's adjournment Friday. All three of the indictments are based upon the alleged proceed ings connected With the two bills introduced in the last legislature providing for the remuneration of -Argeuta to the city of Little Rock.
 One of the indictments charges Senator Covington with accept ing a bribe of $1, 300 from some person unhnoWn to the grand jurors to influence his vote on ..he annexation bills. The other bribery indictment charges him with giving Senator F. o. Butt of Carroll county a bribe of S250 to influence the latter's vote on the same bills. The third indict- ment charges Senator Covington with ccnsDiring win another member of the senate to vote and 1se their influence against any bills that might be introduced for the annexation Of -Argenta to Little Rock.

ARKANSAS COMPANY BROKE.
Security Fire Insurance Company of little Rock Passes Into Hands
 of Receiver.

Little Rock, Jan. 28-The Se- curity Fire Insurance Company of Little Rock, the largest and oldest of the state fire insurance companies, was placed in the hands of a receiver at 8o'clock last night by Chancellor Hart, Charles Mckee being appointed receiver and placed under $30, 900 bond. The liabilities of the company are placed at $123, 900 and the assets are $39, ,000. It is alleged that the indebtedness will wipe out the capital stock of $50, and require S34, 900 in addition to liquidate it's liabilities. The cause of the trouble is attrl- buted to the taking over of the assets and liabilities of the old Security Mutual, which was ab- sorbed by the Security Fire h. surance Company one year ago.
 The company has in force about $4,OO0,000 insurance, and received in premiums during 1905 over S70,OOO. The Federal Surety Company of Indianapolis is on the bond of the defunct company to the amount of 20, ,0O0. This bond is required by the state. The outstanding losses of the company are about $18,000.

MONROVIA HAS
ANIMAL FREAKS
HALF CAT, HALF RABBIT is THE
LATEST
Fox Terrier With Many Characters.
tics of His Half Brother, the
Coyote, Also Attracts
Attention

Monrovia apparently holds the cham
pionship for wonders, for among 1t:
animal denizens are to be found cat
which is half rabbit; q fox terrier
which looks like a coyote and has g
good many characteristics of. one, an6
macaw which is treated as pet and
lives free in the open air.
The cat, which at present is owned by
G. #. Marshall has a head and fore
feet like any feline, but it's tail is only
an inch long and it's hind feet are
bent like those of rabbit.
When you see 1t running across a
field you couldn't distinguish it from
a rabbit on account of the way it hops
but the neighbors can all testify that
at night 1t fully lives up to the reputa-
tion of a cat. Its fur is white with a
few black spots, and it eats just as any
other cat, although it seems to have
a special fondness for grass. The rab-
bit-cat is a half-blood Manx, from
which it gets it's stubby tail, but there
seems to be no blood in it which should
warrant the form of it's hind legs. The
Manx cat came originally from the Isle
of Man.
Many a tourist has called Bunny,
Bunny" after the retreating form of
this freak Of nature and has emitted
a gasp of astonishment when the ami
NAL turned around and uttered a
plaintive meow"
The dog-coyote is a forlorn creature
and no amount of feeding can cover its
bones. 1t seems to follow the coyote
in this characteristic. II 1t feels play
full it will bark and play like any other
dog, but at other times it sneaks
around and will run at the slightest
noise as it's wild brother, the coyote,
does. In form, the only thing that
distinguishes 1t from other fox ter
riers is it's head. The nose Is long and
pointed and its small eyes shift from
side to side.
If the fur was brown the resemblance
would be perfect.
The last of these wonders is macaw
owned by Mr.. and Mrs. ]. H. Nc
Clymonds. Although these birds are
sometimes kept in captivity in ZOOS
and menageries. this is the first in
stance on record where one has been
raised as a pet.
The owner captured the bird on the
Isthmus OF Tehuantepec, the home of
thousands of macaws. In their native
state and usually in captivity they are
very fierce and untameable, but Wal
ker, as the bird is known, seems to have
a memory and the ability to become
attached to a person.
At one time when Mr.. McClymonds
returned from an absence of seven
months, Walker cried and flapped his
wings and wouldn't be quiet until his
master spoke to him.
In Tehuantepec the birds build their
nests in high trees and are hard to
catch.
They are reputed to reach the ex
treme age of 300 years, so if that be
true, Walker still has 2s2 years to live.

EXAMINE BRAIN ON
CHARGES OF ARSON
INTRODUCES AN
ALLEGED CONFESSION
Efforts to Have seIf-confessed Pyro-
maniac Sent to an Asylum viii
Be Renewed on Behalf of the
Prisoner

James Brain, who, according to his
own confession. set a number Of fires
in this city since the first of the year,
was brought into the police court yes
terday morning for his preliminary ex-
animation on a charge of arson.
The boy, who Is considered rational
by the police and said to be insane by
the examining physicians, seemed to
take little interest in the proceedings.
The case was called in Justice Roses
court and the prosecution introduced
a confession that Brain is said to have
made to some of the detectives.
Owing to the short court session on
Saturdays the examination was con-
tinued until tomorrow morning, when
evidence will be introduced tending to
show Brains connection with a. num-
Der of incendiary fires that startled the
city a few weeks ago.
