TOOK REVOLVER
 FROM OFFICER c. N. Gamble Got Into Trou ble Again Last Night When He Attacked James A. Drake.
NEGROES IN TROUBLE
Night Chief Parnell and Two Patrol men Called to Sceme-incidcMt to Be Aired in Police Court This A. ternOOn.
ternOOn.

C. N. Gamble, the young white man who was recently released from the Jefferson county jail after having badly stabbed Clarence Puck" Darby, a young white man of this city, IS again behind the bars. He is charged with having interfered with a special officer in making an arrest, although he declares that had he not done so, the special officer would have unnec- essarily injured somebody.
 The trouble in which Gamble figur- ed occurred in front of the Hotel Jef- ferson last night shortly after O. clock. It seems that James A. Drake, manager of the Elks theater, who is a special officer by commission, was ar resting several negroes, who he says were disturbing the peace or violating the law some other way. Drake, so the story runs, was forced to draw his re- volver on one of the negroes and tt was then that Gamble put in his ap- pearance and wrenched the pistol from Drake's hand.
 Drake then called Night Chief of Police Evan Panrell, who with Pa trolmen Boyd and Minor, hurried to the scene and arrested Gamble and several of the bystanders, one of whom had taken the pistol away from Gamble, believing that he was about to use it on Drake. None of the ne- groes have been arrested, although several of them are .subpoenaed to ap- pear in the city police court this af- ternoon to testify in the case before Judge Stewart.
 The case was set for trial this morning, but Drake and several of the witnesses were absent and the hearing will be taken up and the trouble aired this afternoon.
 Gamble is being held in the city jail. He stated this morning that ha, With others, drank freely last night and that he was standing near the Hotel Jefferson when the trouble arose between Special Officer Drake and the negroes, bootblacks at the stand operated near the hostelry He did not know that Drake was Spe- cial officer, he says, and fearing that he would unnecessarily harm one of the negroes he wrenched the revolver from Drake when he pulled the Wea- pon from his pocket. '.I thought I was doing the man good turn" said Gamble. ''I did not even know the man and my first thought was to pre- vent him from getting into trouble"
 The incident occasioned no little excitement around the hotel and the hearing this afternoon will attract no small crowd of spectators to the po- lice court. There is rumor to the effect that the special officers com mission held by Drake is to be re- voked today.

SEC, CALDWELL AT RIVER CONVENTION
Tell What Pine Bluff Business Men Want in River Improvements
 Should Not Work Alone.

Should Not Work Alone.
 In his address before the river convention, held in Little Rock yes terday, Secretary J. L. Caldwell, of the Pine Bluff Board of Trade enumerated the three points for which Pine Bluff business men have contended: F'irst--to get every snag out of the river; they are the primary cause of most of the trouble. Second-Install the dredge boat at shoal places, and keep it in service. Third-The prevention of cut-offs. He declared that these things were great factors in soly- ing the river problem. Pine Bluff has worked hard for the securing of these ends,'' said he, "and has suc- ceeded largely in getting them remedied. But she should not work alone. Neither should Little Rock, Fort Smith, Muskogee, or any other town go about these matters single handed; let them combine. An association should be formed that would include every interest in the valley and that would work in harmony with the national water ways commission

Against Leasing.

A correspondent writing from Sier-

on the head when he says: "When
one stops to consider the lease ques-
tion, it is readily seen that the small
COW mans terrors of the lease law as
1t is commonly termsd are not all
baseless. He is now barely making a
living in most cases without paying
any grazing tax, SO If the proposed
lease law becomes a reality and he is
compelled to pay for his range and
keeping his cattle thereon he would
be up against 1t In several ways. In
the first place he would have to fence
his range, which would entail an en-
ormous expense, because he could
not herd his cattle like a sheep man
runs his flock. They would starve to
death in the attempt. Then II he was
compelled to keep his stock on his
own land, he would have to in most
cases cut down the present number
considerably, and as he is barely
making a living at present, what
would he do If forced to cut down his
number of cattle and fence his range
and pay tax of 80 much an acre for
the privilege Of grazing his live
stockY'

Forest Reserve Landlordism.

The entire West is justly indignant
at President Roosevelt's forest reserve
policy, not only because it tends to
discourage immigration to and de-
velopment of many sections, but for
the further reason that it establishes
system as obnoxious and oppressive
as English landlsrdism In Ireland.
Ostensibly the purpose of the act is
to preserve the forests and conserve
the water supply. In it's parctical ap-
plication the governments chief pur-
pose seems to be to squeeze every
cent 1t can out of the settlers who
have made tleir homes in the vicin-
ity of forest reserves. There is graz
ing fee and timber fee and pro-
posed water fee, and a fee for this and
fee for that, and these fees go to
swell u surplus In the national treas
ury. In other words Uncle Sam
through his executive, Theodore
Roosevelt, has become penny grasp
ing landlord, preying upon a class Of
pioneer citizens already enduring all
manner of hardships while trying to
found homes and develop II wilder
ness.
1t has been the fixed policy Of this
government since the days of WASH
ington to administer the public lands
in way to benefit settlers, to encour-
age immigration and home building
and to develope natural resources.
Free soil and protection of home in
dustries have long been established
as q part Of the nations policy. This
is the first time in our history that
the public lands have been exploited
for gain at the expence of homeseek-
ers and legitimate industry.-Rico
