DENIES THE INJUNCTION
Express Company Need Not Accept
Liquor Packages.

Kansas City. No, May 25.-Judge
Smith Mcpherson, Of Iowa, in the
United states district court here to-
day refused to grant an injunction
sought by the Harvest King Distilling
company Of Kansas City, which asked
that the American Express company
be restrained from refusing to trans
port packages destined to Mississippi.
The express company which had
been transmitting these packages up
to May 10, then refused to further
accept them because of the passage by
the recent Mississippi legislature of a
local option law imposing heavy fine
for such acts. It was stated that
there were now $500 packages of
liquors in Mississippi and If the ex-
press company were to deliver these
they would be liable to fines aggre-
eating two and one-half million dol
lars.
Judge Mcpherson. in denying the
injunction, said that if he were to
grant it it would result in ESQ express
agents being thrown into jail.

Justice Mclaughlin, who wrote the
prevailing opinion said:
II the facts set out in the deposit
lions upon which the Warrant here was
issued be constructed in the most liberal
way, consistent with a judicial deter

facts do not establish that the crime of
grand larceny has been committed as
the same is defined BY the penal code.
The defendant had right to give Of his
own funds to the chairman Of the Re
publican national committee. The re-
lator made the contribution at :he re-
quest of the president of the insurance
company with the express understand

STUDENTS SEARCHED.
Members of Washburn Faculty Make
Serious Mistake.

A scandal has developed in Wash
burn college. and the faculty is making
a wild effort to suppress the story. The
professors do not want it to get out that
they made a serious mistake when they
charged three well known students
with theft.
A few days ago one Of the profess
sors in tn science department discov-
cred that a quantity of materials and
instruments were missing from the
laboratory They very hastily decided
that the theft was the work of Kurtz
Zutavern, Louis Zutavern and Louis
Brinknan, three students of good fam
lily and excellent reputation. The
professors Professor Shattuck taking
the lead. called upon President Plass,
accused the boys, and asked for an IN
vestigation.
President PIass Immediately secured
a search warrant, and Marshal Win
trode Of the city court, searched the
rooms near Washburn college occupied
by the three suspects. He found moth
ing of a contraband nature. and was
urged by President Plass to try the
Santa Fe depot. One of the boys was
about to go home. and his trunk and a
large box we're in the Santa Fe bag
gage room. The marshal. accom-
panied by the college officials. ex-
amined the baggage, although he had
no papers for the same, and found. as
erty of the owner. The box contained
the boys school books. and the trunk
contained his clothing and personal
effects.
The boys who were suspected and
subjected to the indignity of a search
are somewhat aggrieved over the oc-
currence, and demand some sort of an
apology

Clarke has given the Anei'i. can stage many brisht, intellectually conceived and intellectually del neat cd characteriZatiOns' In Shakespeare. in old comedy and in modern drama he has found equally exalted places The net result Of opinions expressed throughout the land last ya4r was that in no other play did Iie eVer reach the high PlauH of artistic excel fence upon which stands his sBeaa- caire."

 Goodloe is the negro who occasion ed so much excitement On Barraque street last Saturday afternoon wh6o he engaged in an altercetion with aEr. B. H. Perkins, day clerk at th 2 Tfulock hofel. For q time it looked as if he would receive some pretty rough treatment from lot of infllliat- ed white mon who followed his re- treat from the hotel, after having used some abusive language toward MT.

 Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Creed Caldwell represented the state in the case, while Attorney T. Havis Nixon took the defense Mir.

His ability as lawyer has been man. ifested too clearly during his incum- bency of his present position, to need comment from any source whatsoever and the Graphic states only that which is known by everyone when 1t says that Mir. Coleman is capable of holding any position of trust which the citizens of Pine Bluff may give him.
 During the late session of the lief ferson circuit court MT. Coleman was elected special judge to serve during the absence of Judge Grace, who was off on leave of absence. In this position he gave even greater evi- dences of his remarkable ability as lawyer and as an executive of the law in handling the business of the circuit court room, which necessarily requires some eXecut we ability of the judiciary presiding.
 Mr. Coleman is quiet, modest, unas- suming and yet man of splendid personality and considerable magnet ism. He is popular with his constit- uents and holds the confidence of ev- elvone.
 Mr. Coleman has been so busily en- gagged w'th his legal duties for the city, in connection with the Fourth avenue Improvements, that he has not had time to engage in an active campaign, but will do so within tho closing days of the campaign.

THE LARGE PLANTATIONS.

The Zmovement. star, ed by sheri4 could to bring to Jefferson county wbjte labor fer the plantations may result in curing the labor ills Wita which the plantations are affiIc ed' end fl may not. It is true that there is not enough lahorefs to meet the demand. end many of tic laborers are so irresponsible that the plant CTS cannot depend upon them with any degree of certainty.
 If white laborers are brought here to make up the deficiency or to take the place of the shiftless and ire sponsible negro, the white laborer may prove to be responsible and he may not.
 It is exceedingly doubtful if there is to be had responsible white Ia. Tor to cultivate the b g cotton plan tations.
 The Graphic does not wish to dis courage MT. Gould in his efforts to bring about relief for the planters, and the remedy he offers may bring the desired results, but that it may not is quite probable.
 It may be observed that the white man in any community has an ambi- ton to be more than mere con- o1i laborer, rendering service for an- other at nom nal wages, and that is especially true of the white farming element. If white people must Wef for wages they usually go to the cities where more is to be earned for the service rendered than on the farm. the present labor conditions on the farms means the doom of the big plan- tations. The negro labor of a depend able kind cannot be had to cultivate the big plantations, and the same is true as to white labor. If the white labor may be had, much of it is going io be found to be unreliable, for such has been the exper ence or planters in other sections of the country. If the biz plantations were divided into small plantations-just large enough for one family-and white farmers al lowed to purchase them and cultivate them. Jefferson county in few years would know prosperity as it has rever known il before. It is the SO lution of the labor problem on the plantations.

It abounds in funny situa- tions and ludicrous climaXes and the big company of fifty people who pre- sent it are all artists. Of this number there are forty in the big beauty chorus of stunning girls who know how to Wear handsome gowns becon- ingly and whose ability at singing and dancing is far above the average The scenic effects and the stage settings are magnificent and the owners, We1's Dunne and Harlan, have spared neith- CT pains nor expense to make it Amer ica's foremost musical frivoliiy.
