Plans For Defense Await the Arrival

New York. July Hilary X. Thaw,
IN the Tombs for the murder OF STAN
ford White. is reported to be without
funds. and il is stated that the elab-
crate plans which have been made for
his defense cannot be put into eXecu-
ton until the prisoners mother, Mrs.
William Thaw. of Pittsburg. arrives
from Europe and approves the neces-
sary expenditures. What money the
young man has had since he has been
in Jail has been supplied personally
by his counsel pending the arrival OF
Mrs. William Thaw.
In prosecuting his inquiry into the
past life of Thaw in all the phases that
may have a bearing upon his tril, AS
sistant istrict Attorney Garvan had an
interview with Joseph A. Shea, law
yer, and obtained papers in a case in
which Shea is counsel for a Miss Ethel
Thomas. who has several suits pend
ing against the prisoner. The suits
grew out of alleged former relations
existing between Thaw and Miss
Thomas. One specific charge IS that
OF assault, for which the plaintiff asks
500 900 damages. While the suits have
been pending some time. it is said the
subject matter is of such an intimate
character that it has never been pub.

The Negro Soldiers Dis
 charge.

About the only reasonable resolu. ton of the many resolutions of con demnation that have been passed by negroes throughout America because of President Roosevelt's firm and de- cided action in discharging the bat talion of negro soldiers who disgracec the nation in murder and riot al Brownsville, Tex, was the recent resolution passed by the negroes ol Seattle. Washington.
 They showed the right idea wher they passed resolutions CONCERNING THOSE MEMBERS of the 18th Infantry who were guilty of riotous conduct al Brownsville. The Seattle negroes might have gone even further and condemned the members of the same battalion who refused to divulge the identity of the villanous murderers who disgraced our country by their acts of riot and crime.
 That's the reason President Roose- welt felt constrained 10 act as he did. His acts may be called severe but it is not one whit harsher than is justi- fled by the enormity of the crime of the negro soldiers. The entire crowd were in collision to shield the perpe- trators of the crime as is evident from the report of those officers who en- deavored to investigate the affair.
 The negro bodies throughout Amer lea. who are passing resolutions con demning the President for his action. are injuring no one but themselves and are not calculated to influence President Roosevelt In changing his orders. even if those orders were oul of the usual and not altogether sup ported by precedent.
 There is no doubt but that. upon the establishment of their innocence President Roosevelt will re-instate the members of the discharged compa- nies.
 The punishment is severe but the case required just such action. wheth- CT the parties effected were black or wiite. and only a Roosevelt. as Com mander of the Army, could apply the remedy just as 1t was needed.

A NEWS LETTER FROM KEEvIL

Editor ARGUS:
 Many of the ARGUS readers would no doubt be interested in knowing something about Keevil Cor Midway
 as it is so often called,) KeeyiI is an old settlement. the late J. s. Keevil and family and Mrs. Annie Thompson and family located where Keevil now is. in 1865. directly
 after the Civil war. and bought two
 acres of ground from John Gum at
 Brinkley.
 The post office and station were
 named for J. s. keeyil. who was post
 master until his death-in 1893. Mir. Keevil and family. and also Mrs. Annie Thompson. came to this coun-
 try from ireland. They landed in
 Clarendon May 1. 1860. Mrs. Thom- son still owns property in the town, besides good farming lands. Perhaps It would make interesting
 reading to give few personal sketches of KeeviI's present citizens. Post Master w. J. Wick has been resident of Keevil about fourteen
 years and for twelve years has been Post Master. He Is merchant and property owner. He contributes much , not only to the material but also to the
 moral welfare of the town and com munity.

FALL TORE up".

Fort Smith Is all "tore up" over having to obey the State laws. It is, ..as it were, horrible night-mare to many Of that city's inhabitants. They have never been used 10 such thing as yielding obedience to laws that in
 terfere with their cupidity and unre- strained seeking after pleasure. In the Providence of God. Mir. Ris Mcdonald
 a man of brains. conscience, honesty. and who holds sacred his oath, was elected prosecuting attorney. and in fulfillment of his promises before his election and his oath after his election. he is enforcing the Sunday law. and. in doing so, the cigar stands. butcher shops. confectionery stores, etc. are to be closed. and the drug stores are to ellnothing but medicines. Of course all those who object to this plain con- struction of the law are regretting it very much on account of the hardships 1t will work upon their customers yes. of course. they don't care anything about the dollars they will not get be- tween Saturday and Monday. To be sure there are many people in that city who want all the laws enforced. but we suspect they are in the minority. It is 2 lamentable fact that 50 soon as town { assumes city pretensions. it presumes that 1t is absolved from the obligation of law enfocement except in so far as It may suit the whim or convenience oI the majority. Hence lawlcssness breeds and grows until # contaminates more or less the whole population of a city. The law-abiding citizen is. in one way or another. intimidated and finally gives up the fight in disgust and Encouragement. The cities are cen tersof an influence which goes out in every direction. If It were mostly < good. # would be we'll but as lis not, we rural folk want to see change. If
 cities are to continue as cesspools of
 iniquity. will not the day come when it will bs necessary to prevent congested populationa However. we bid Mir. Mcdonald God speed in hi; honest endeavrs to enfoce every law upon the State statute book Ozark Democrat.
