days play in the national squash racquet
championship at Mannheim met with an
other disappointment, G. H. Brooke, Rae

mantown, and F. A. Vianest, Germantown
The "rst match between F. Pearson, Ger
mantown, and w. T. H. HUM, Country
Club, ended in a very easy victory for the
Germantown player, although HUM put up
stiff fight in the first game, scoring nine
points to his opponents fifteen. In the
second game Pearson played up very
strongly and seldom gave HUM an oppor-
tunity to score, with the result that he ran
out, 1885, and won the match by two games
to none.
DR.. ]. A Miskey, the Overlook cham
pion, proved too much for NJ. K Williams,
Germantown. Williams had played a Cruel
ing game on the previous day with G. r.
White, and this fact no doubt accounted in
made yesterday afternoon.
In the last game Of the afternoon a ter
rife struggle was seen between E. As
Smith and W. L. Freeland, both of Ger
mantown. In the first game Freeland led
off with a string Of three aces; Smith then
scored two. and on losing the hand III OPP
ponent scored another two. The score was
called to in Freelands favor but Smith
made a grand rally and ran up a sequence
of five aces Freeland was not done with
and replied with two. making the score
1919 in favor of Smith. Freeand played up
grandly and put five aces to his credit
Smith scored another point and then Free
land ran out the winner of fine game,
1913.
The second game was even more closely
contested, first one player and then the.
other obtaining the advantage until the
game was called, thirteen all. Freeland
scored one ace. but it was his last chance
as Smith won the next three and the game,
1914. With a game a piece the contest
ants played up as hard ever in the final
game, and for time ran neck and neck
Freeland ran up grand sequence of seven
aces in his third hand. Smith replied with
two, and the score stood 90 in favor of
Freeland. Smith scored but one more point
before Freeand ran out the winner by the
score of 1877. the match thus going to him
by two games to one. Summary:

he won the first set with comparative ease,
his opponent was always dangerous until
the last shot was made. Crane was very
strong in the fore-hand corner Of the serV-

hard placed balls. His driving and smash

Sands showed very good service, while

New Railroad Laws

Quite a number of new laws affect. ing the railroads, were placed upon tbs statute books of the state of Arkan- sas by the General Assembly of 1907. great many of which were of local interest. consisting in the main as they do Of requiring fast mail trains to stop at various stations, providing extra train service on certain road build
 Ing new depots, etc. There were however, a number of laws Of general interest to the public and
 which have as yet, been given little or no publicity. Among the number Is law which makes it a misdemean. CT for any railroad to obstruct a cross. ing or public highway more than ton
 minutes, or failing to entirely clear the crossing or highway within ten min utes, to leave an open space sixty feet wide for traffic. In case of violation a fine of from 8 to S25 may he assess | ed. law which requires all railroads
 to drain railroad beds wheG railroads pass within POO yards Of farmhouse or residence A law to the effect that i 1t Is unlawful for any railroad or com
 mon carrier of any kind to change law fu! duties and liabilities of the carrier
 with shippers, whether or not by agree ment. A law surpressng all drum
 ming and soliciting for hotels etc,
 on trains. This law resulted from the
 many Hot Springs drummers that were
 on all trains going into Hot Springs.
 A law which provides that all rail roads, where two roads connect at a
 junction, shall maintain a depot and
 train cryer who shall annuonce. by calling in the depot, the various trains and tracks upon which said trains will
 depart. The law also provides that the caller shall call the trains in plenty of time for all passengers waiting in
 the depot to get on the proper train
 According to this law station will
 have to be located at every junction 1 Of two lines, no matter whether there Is town there or not, and that a train cryer must be maintained at that station. A law which makes the rail roads liable for all destruction by fire
 to real or personal estate caused by i trains or railroads

SENATOR CULBERSON CHOSEN
ELECTED DEMOCRATIC LEADER
- IN THE SENATE.

At the caucus of democratic senators
held after the adjournment OF the Senate
yesterday Senator c. A. Culberson of
Texas was elected chairman of the demo-
cratic caucus and leader of the minority
on the floor of the Senate. Senator Nc
Creary of Kentucky was chosen vice
chairman, and Senator Owen of Okla
homa was made secretary of the caucus.
Both of the coming Oklahoma senators
attended the meeting, being virtually rec
ognized as senators, although their formal
election by the Oklahoma legislature is
yet a short time off.
a resolution was passed by the confer
ence authorizing the chairman of the eau
Gus to appoint a steering committee,
whose duty 1t shall be to arrange for
democratic appointments on Senate COM
mittees and to shape the legislative course
of the minority as far as possible.
A long discussion arose and consider
able opposition was developed concerning
committee appointed by the chairman In
stead of being elected by the caucus. Sen
ator Bailey led a faction which demanded
that the committee be elected by the eau
Gus and cited precedents showing former
action along this line. Senator McLaurin
Senators Clarke of Arkansas, Stone of
Missouri and Tal:aferro of Florida made
speeches in favor of appointment by
the chairman, and led the contingent
which eventually voted down Senator
Bailey and his followers on the ques-
ton. Senator Bailey later agreed to
a, Unanimous vote after stating that in
spite of the fact that he held the same
view as he had previously expressed; he
would withdraw his opposition on account
of the election of his colleague, Senator
Culberson, to the craftsmanship of the
caucus.
