CITIZENS AROUSED
 AT HOT SPRINGS
Demand Punishment of Sharpers and
 Closing of Pool Rooms.

Hot Springs, June zS.-l hls city has never been stirred as It is at present over the develop ments in the robberies and opera tons by "big mitt" men and sharpers generally. A determi. nation to put stop to illegal practices and to protect visitors and citizens anim lted a meeting held tonight in the rooms of the Business Mems League, at which about 400 representative citizens were present. Ex-Mayor w. w. Waters presided.
 Vigorous resolutions expressive of aroused public sentiment in favor of law enforcement were adopted.
 The resolutions demand that the mayor close all joints where skin games have been perpetrated and that they be kept closed and not allowed to reopen.
 A demand is made that all con- fidence and .big mitt" men and known swindlers and toughs generally be run out of the city by the authorities and be kept out.
 The resolutions denounce pool rooms and breeding places of vice and crime and demand that they be rooted out.
 Further, the demand is made that the county judge revoke the licenses of saloons in which rob- berries or other crimes have been committed and that the city coun- cil see that the demands for the protection of visitors and citizens be carried out.
 Sheriff Robert l.. Williams was present at the meeting aud an nounced himself heartily in sym- pathy with the resolutions. He declared that be would commence upon the pool room men at once to close their places.
 "The pool rooms must go. l will close them, if I have to close every place in the city where gambling is going on. If 1 don't close the pool rooms will get off the Democratic ticket" declared Sheriff Williams this afternoon.
 The situation here is very in- tense, and relations between the city and county officials are very strained. The sheriff may begin his anti-pool room crusade tomor- row, it is learned, aud will issue orders at once that they must not run.

 Plans for Hospital.
 Those who have had charge of local matters pertaining to the location of the Kansas City Southern railway hospital at Mena are aware that they have not been permitted to let any grass grow under their feet in securing and sending satisfactory evidence of the validity of the title to the site. as we'll as other concessions offered, and that there has been an apparent anxiety on the part of the rail way and hospital officials to get to work at an early date.
 Late Friday a message was received from General Manager w. Coug showing prompt action on his part. The message says:
 "Kansas City, Mo-, June %. J. c. Clayton, W. H. Tobin.
 MT. George Stimens, arc hitect, will leave here Monday night on No. 3 for Mena to look over the new hospital proposition. If convenient meet him at Mena.
 w. Coughlin."
 Messrs Clayton and Tobin have signitied their intention to meet Mir Stimens on his arrival.
 The activity on the part of the Hospital builders calls for another step on the part of the citizens of Mena -the collecting of the money subscribed by our people to the hospital fund.
 The citizens soliciting com mittee composed of c. A. Smith, F. N. Hancock, Eugene Cox, G. l.. Lochridge and pr. J. K. Davis, has prepared duplicate copies of the subscription lists and one of the lists will be found at each of the banks. Parties who sub- scribed to this fund are hereby asked to call at any one of the banks and upon payment of the amount subscribed by them they will be given receipt for same.
 The $5,0O0 subscribed is to be available when work begins on the new hospital and the prompt action being taken by the Hos pital board makes it imperative that the citizens pay in their subscriptions promptly to the banks, where it will be held ready to turn over when work begins.
