Primary Election Law.

A primary election bill for this county
has been introduced 10 the Senate by Sena'
tor Lee, In the House OF Delegates by Mr.
Scholl and was referred TO the Committee
on Elections 10 the respective houses OF the
General Assembly. On Saturday last, Sena-
tor Lee offered an order on the Senate COM
mittee to report the bill forthwith, but the
order was withdrawn upon assurance being
given by Senator Brewington, chairman of
the Committee on Elections. that the bill
would be promptly reported.
The bill has been prepared with care and
contains very stringent provisions against
the use Of money or coercion of any kind
in primary elections. To insure enforce
ment, the penalties are placed upon the
party who, directly or indirectly, offers or
gives bride, and grants to the informer one
half of the fines, the other half to be used on
the county roads.
Heavy penalties are also provided for
fraudulent acts on the part OF judges and
clerks OF election, and provision is made for
watchers and challenger TO be chosen by
the candidates.
To prevent any one from voting more
than one ticket, each ballot is required TO be
placed in an envelop, provided for the pur-
pose, and sealed. A voter can mark his
ticket anywhere he pleases IS at present.
but no electioneering or conducting Of voters
is allowed within one hundred feet of the
polls.
No whiskey or other alcoholic liquors are
allowed to be sold or given away anywhere
10 the county on the day Of any primary cleo
ton.
The qualifications of voters are substan-
TALLY the same as in the present Democratic
primaries, except that none but registered
voters can vote, and they are required to
vote where they are registered. No person
can vote In the primaries Of both parties.
The law applies to both the Democratic
and Republican parties, but does not In
terfere with the delegate system of the Re.
publican party 80 long as the governing
body thereof desires to maintain 1t. The
law applies to primaries held in 1907 and
every alternate year thereafter.
The principal part o: the expense lie borne
by the parties themselves. The only cost to
the county Is sixty-five dollars as full pay
ment 10 the thirteen return judges, and the
cost Of preparing and keeping posted list
Of the registered voters 10 each district,
which is limited to total OF 800 for the
first year and $40 per year thereafter.
The return judges are TO be chosen from
among the registration officers for the re-
spective districts. and there will be only one
voting place 10 each district, as at present
The Supervisors of Elections are required
to supply the ballot boxes now In use.
The bill 10 perfectly fair to both of the
political parties and, 1t is understood. had
the approval OF Mr.. David H. Fenton, as
we'll as the other representatives ln the Leg
islature.

Sudden Death Of David II. Fsnton.

David Fl. Fenton, member of the Houss
Of Delegates from this county, died In an
ambulance while being taken to Garfield
Hospital, in Washington city, on Sunday
night last. A few minutes before he had
been found in an unconscious condition In
front of 1888 Fifteenth street. Heart failure
Is believed to have been the cause of death.
Mr.. Fenton returned TO Washington from
Annapolis on Saturday afternoon and was
at his office until late 10 the evening. He
did not look we'll and complained OF feeling
badly. Sunday he spent at the Chaplin
Flats, his winter residence, until evening
Mrs. Fenton went to the Presbyterian church
on Washington Heights, and he announced
his intention of visiting friend short dis
lance away. Late at night Mr.. Fenton was
seen by three or four persons ON Fifteenth
street extended, on the improved portion,
10 stagger and fall. The ambulance was
sailed and before Il reached the hospital he
was dead.
Two years ago Mr.. Fenton had an OF.
tack of heart failure that was thought to be
quite serious, but apparently he recovered
his normal health. Two weeks ago he was
again attacked, the result, his physicians
thought, of acute indigestion.
Mr.. Fenton was forty.two years Of age
and was born in Canada. After reaching
manhood he moved to Indiana and early
evinced love for politics. Shortly after he
entered the political world he was elected
clerk of the State Senate Of Indiana. Dur
ing the administration Of President Cleve-
land he was appointed to clerkship In the
Postoffice Department, and after q speedy
recognition of his ability he was made the
chief of the money order division. For the
last year he has been member of the law
firm of Douglass 8 Douglass, of Washing
ton. He maintained residence In Ken
sington, this county, and was elected mem
Der Of the House of Delegates in 1905, being
the only Republican elected for that posi-
ton in the county. His wife and two daugh-
tiers survive him.
The news of the death of Mr.. Fenton Gre
ated feeling of sadness among the mem.
bers of the General Assembly, and after ap-
propriate remarks by number OF his associ-
ates, both houses adjourned.
President Seth appointed as the commit
tee to attend Mr.. Fenton's funeral Senators
Lee, Brown and Jones. Speaker Benson
named Delegates Carroll, Griffith, Scholl,
Goodwin, Beacham, Ross and Baker.

Fighting Tax Exemption

The following dispatch from Annapolis to
the Baltimore San, dated the 9th instant,
shows that Senator Lee Of this county, 10
still engaged in fighting tax exemption
A motion made by Senator Lee this morn
ing to recommit his bill relating to certain
tax exemptions Of stock brought on dis
cussion of a most important subject.
Under the present law, If corporation
invests Its capital stock in the city stock or
in other stocks upon which the State tax has
been paid, then the capital stock OF the cor
poration is exempted from taxation accord
ing to the amount Of the investment.
Early in the session Mr.. Llnthicum intro
duced bill to repeal this exemption clause
as to future issues Of city stock. he takes
the ground that as far as past issues Of stock
and bonds are concerned, the city stock was
sold and fetched higher price because OF
that exemption, and 1t would be unfair to
the purchasers to take their money and then
deprive them of the privilege for which in
effect they paid.
Then Senator Lee, not satisfied with this,
introduced bill repeating the tax exemp-
ton quality of city stock, ETC., now In ex-
istence as well as future issues. He believes
that the granting of this exemption does
not partake of the nature of contract nor
is it bad faith to repeal the law, because the
corpor atoms which bought this stock bought
it with the full knowledge that the exemp-
ton was subject to repeal.
Meeting with strong opposition on this
proposition, Senator Lee desired to recon-
init his bill, which Is on the third reading
file, SO that he could amend it to apply TO
the counties alone, leaving Mr.. Linthicum's
bill relating TO future exemptions to apply
TO the city alone. But the county Senators
did not approve of this and voted Mr.. Lees
motion down.
In his speech on the subject Mr.. Lee de.
clared that the movement for the exemption
of the persomsl property of corporations
from taxation is going on so fast that we are
approaching the single-tax plan oil putting
the whole burden on real estate, and the
farmers and landowners are getting FESTIVE
under it. The proposed issue OF $26,OOO,OOO
or $50 600, 900 of city stock, along with what
is already outstanding, bids fair to deprive
Baltimore of a great part of its tax basis.
Something like $14OOO.OOO of the capital
stock OF corporations s already exempted
from taxation under the law, and Mr.. Linth-
Icum thinks it should not go any further.
The recent low price of city stock has APP
parentiy attracted the attention of county
banks to the advantage Of this tax exemp-
ton law, and it is said that they are invest
ing In city stock aud securing exemption
from taxation thereby.

WILL GO WEST
MT. and Mrs. Sol Kaufman Leave to
 Seek New Home.

Mir. and Mrs. Sol Kaufman leave for St. Louis today, and thence they will go to some point in the west. for the benefit of MT. Kaufman's health. Just where they will finally locate has not yet been decided, as MT. Kauf- man wishes to consult a specialist at St. Louis before coming to any de. cision relative to his place of future abode.
 Mr. Kaufman leaves this city with the reputation of being one of the best known business men in this sec ton of the state For ten years past he has conducted the famous Kauf- man Bazaar, one of the most popular business places in Pine Bluff, and dur ing that time has built up wide and extensive circle of acquaintances and friends, all of whom will unite in the universal regret over his departure, winch, however, was made necessary by his continued i'll health. He re- gently disposed of his stock of goods here, and has severed all business ties in Pine Bluff.

New Books for Library.

General Secretary A. B. Richardson announces that those who have lists of books they want purchased for the Y. M. C. A. library should send them in at once, as the. committee wishes to forward the completed list to head. quarters in New York at an early date now.
 It will be remembered that Miss Helen Gould recently gave $500 to the P'ne Bluff association for the pur- chase of new books for the library, and Secretary Richardson, always alive to the wants of his members, asked the latter to select the books by furnishing him lists of what they wanted. A large number of persons have responded to the invitation, and he now wishes all those who still have lists of books to submit to do so at once. The committee will go over all those books named by members, and select just what are considered the most popular with Pine Bluff readers.

HUNTING HIS WIFE
Warren Man Here on Lookout for His
 Spouse.
Where is Mrs. Alice Baker?

Where is Mrs. Alice Baker?
 This is a question which at least one person in the world would give much to have answered. And that one person is her husband
 The Bakers reside at Warren. That is the male portion of the family resides there. Mrs. Bakers res dence is the point most in question just now. The husband would like to have the problem solved. About February 1, Mrs. Baker left her home, ostensibly for Tennessee on a visit to relatives, so her husband states. That was the last time he has ever seen or directly heard of her. True, he was told that she had been seen in Pine Bluff, but when he arrived in the city Thursday morning to search for her, he could find her not, although he was told
 
 here that parties had seen the woman here on two successive days, soon af ter the first of the present month. Mrs. Baksr, or a woman exactly an swering her description, was seen standing about the Cotton Belt depot. Since that time, all trace of her has been lost.
 Mrs Baker was a Miss Alice John- sen before her marriage to MT. Baker, and is the second wife cf the latter. She $ described as good-looking woman, weight years of age, light complexion, blue eyes, and weighs 150 pounds. with height of five feet and six inches to her credit. A scar on the right side of her face, over her jawbone, serves to identify her anywhere.
 MT. Baker declares that he knows of no reason in the world for the wo- mans disappearance. He makes no accusations whatever, and says he Hants to find her for business reasons principally, as he seems to think she has voluntarily left him.
