Give New Ideas on the Situation.

Little Rock, Dec. g. Special II am satisfied that the financial stringency through which we have been passing for some weeks will operate to the good of the South, especially" said Little Rock banker, this morning. Con tinuing, this hnancier forward ed some opinions which have nev- CT been heard before, and. which
 are attracting considerable at tention and causing much favora- ble comment in this city. He de- clares that while New York City, Chicago, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and a few other cities have long been the centerS from which the supplies for the remainder of the country have been drawn, this is not as it should be, and that Memphis, Dallas, Little Rock, and even smaller towns should come to be more independent than they have ever been. And this trouble is bringing about this very state of affairs" says he. When the money men of the east shut down and said to our bankers they would not honor drafts upon them for balances maintained in New York and
 Chicago for this purpose, it learn ed the bushes men of the south a lesson they will not be fast in forgetting. This city will carry larger stocks than ever before, and less dependence will be put in the larger cities. |, for one, am delighted to see this condi- ton of affairs arriving, and to my way of thinking, it marks an epoch in the affairs of the south. "
 These sentiments are being echoed by other business men, and there is a feeling that while Little Rock was for a time, upon the edge of trouble by reason of the inability of the banks to se-

singular coincidence that Fred c. Gale
of Hinsdale, n. H., and Orlen II. Ellis
of Brattleboro, who were in partner
ship in the liquor business on the

lite this village not long ago, should
be receiving the attention of the pros

shire and Vermont on charges of
violating the liquor laws, Gale in New
Hampshire and Ellis in this state.
Ellis was arraigned in County court at
Newfane yesterday on the charge of
selling liquor in this state while a
partner of Gale on the island. He
pleaded not guilty and furnished bail
in the sum of $1,000 The case pro
badly will be called within few days
The Superior court of Cheshire coun'
| ty at Keene, N. H.. Is considering
what action 1t will take in the case
against Gale and the Cheshire Elk
press company, which has been en-
gagged principally in the Transports

to the indictment of keeping liquor for
sale and has agreed that the corpora
ton may be dissolved according to
advices from court officials In Keene

CHASED WRONG MAN
Game Wardens Hunt Alleged vioIator
In Automobile.

Homer l.. Bosworth of Springfield
Mass, who has been enjoying a hunt.
ing trip in the vicinity of South Lon.
donderry, was charged Monday with
violation of the game laws by state
officers who rode rs miles of broken
country from Brattleboro in an auto
mobile to apprehend him for using a
license which it was alleged had been
purchased from Harry l.. Halves OF
Springfield. BY producing license
which was regular in every respect Mr..
Bosworth was easily able to show the
officers that they had made mistake.
In mutual explanations it came out
that the officers delusion with refer.
ence to the purchase of the license
| had evidently arisen over the fact that
Mr.. Halves had sold Mr.. Bosworth
gun.
The state officers who made the
iruitiess journey into the hunting cOun
Try acted on information furnished
them from State Commissioner Fl. G.
| Thomas to the effect that Town Clerk
W. s. Newton of Brattleboro had re-
turned record of license issued to
Mr.. Bosworth which was purchased of
Mr.. Halves, contrary to the law of the
state.
| The license returns which go to the
| state fish and game commission IN
coupon shape, bear, besides the licen-
sees name and description, descrip-
ton OF the gun, where purchased. etc.
According to Commissioner Thomas.
the return which he received from
Town Clerk Newton stated that the Ii.
I cense, not the gun, had been purchas-
ed from Mr. Halves, of Springfield. He
accordingly ordered County Game War
den Roswell IL Frost to arrest Mr..
Bosworth with all the dispatch on the
charge OF hunting with transferred
license The penalty for such an of.
tense under the Vermont law is SIS and
costs for each day spent hunting with
such license.
When the officers clambered out Of
their automobile in South Londonderry
after their long wearisome ride from
Brattleboro, they met Mr.. Bosworth
who had Just reached the hotel after
days hunting In the woods with DR..
j. I. Herrick of Springfield and the
Rev. Il. A. Slack. The painful bust
ness of the Vermont officers OF the
law was Immediately communicated
to the somewhat surprised hunters
who turned the trick by producing the
licenses issued in perfectly regular
form.
The officers Immediately departed
for the homeward journey to Brattle-
boro, after profuse apologies had been
offered for the mistake to Mr.. Bos.
worth who declared he entertained no
hard feelings with reference to the
proposed arrest. In order to get the
license. which he was using and which
was the cause of the mistake In the
first place, Mr.. Bosworth had been
Obliged to make the trip Of 76 miles to
Brattleboro from South Londonderry
and back, over the same route pur.
sued by the officers.

FOUND WOUNDED DOE
Deer Had Crossed State Line After
Beina Shot in New York.

County Game Warden Harry Chase
returned last evening from SALISBURY
where he had been investigating the
case of wounded doe found by John
Mattison on the mountain in the west
part of the town.
The doe which had been shot
through the back had been put out OF
it's misery by Deputy County Warden
Galusba before Mr.. Chase had receiv-
ed any information in regard to the
case. An inquiry. however, convinced
the warden that the doe which was two
years old, had been shot on the other
side of the state line in New York
where the season for deer is now on
and where the shooting of does is le
gal. He not only found a young man
in the town of White Creek who ad
mitted shooting and wounding doe
which escaped but he also discovered
an eye witness, farmer, who roundly
denounced the boy for trying to XII
the doe which had been in the vicinity
nearly all summer and which had be
come quite tame.
The warden as provided by law
brought the deer to Bennington and
placed the venison on sale al
Schwartz market on Main street.

Standard Oil Trust Wants Gov
eminent To Let Up.
IT GETS THE COLD SHOULDER
w. G. Rockefeller on Stand Displays
Remarkable Lack OF knowledge
OF Combines Affairs.

NEW YORK, Oct 19,-By the testi-
mony of Anthony i. Brady the gov.
eminent in its suit 10 dissolve the
Standard Oil Company of New Jersey
for the first time clearly established
the connection Of the sale of the Man
haitian Oil company TO the Standard.
This was done when Mr.. Brady. who
with William G.. Rockefeller was the
twin star attraction of the days SEES
sion. was questioned about newly dis
covered facts in connection with the
sale.
Mr. Rockefeller. who is the son of
William Rockefeller and nephew of
John ID. Rockefeller, was on the stand
for an hour and Il half aud was kept
busy in his efforts to dodge the rapid
fire questions of Chief Inqukitor
Frank H. Kellogg.
Mr.. Brady. succeeding Mr. Rockefel-
Ter az witness, admitted that when
the Manhattan Oil company was sold
the Peoples Gas. Light and Coke com
pany of Chicago received n contract
from the Standard OIL company where
by the latter was TO furnish the Chi
cago concern with gas oil at cost of
IL, cents gallon for Il period of ten
years. This price is much less than
the cost of production.
1t was lear y Gazing the afternoon
that one of the attorneys for The
! Standard oil company had approached
Il representative of the government
and offered damaging admissions II
| the government would let up.
1t is reported that the Standard oil
lawyer asked the government repre-
sentative:
III we will admit that the Standard
owns the Manhattan will you promise
to drop this investigation
mo"
well. II we will admit that we owl
not only the Manhattan. but seyera
other subsidiary companies win yoI
stop your probingI"
NO" was again the reply.
Then the Standard lawyer is report
ed To have remarked; We'll, If yo,
will make no promises II is useless
for me to make any admissions.
suppose you will go aheaG until yot
have the officers of the Standard tiet
up"
Mr.. Rockefeller was in the wltnes.
chair for an hour and half. But hi
testimony was more remarkable fol
n lack of knowledge of Standard OF
affairs than for anything else In spit'
of the fact that he is prominently con
nected with the trust and several O
its subsidiary companies.
The most interesting piece of infor
nation given by the witness was tina
the New York Stan ard oil company
annually loans smillions to brokers II
Wall street, though sometimes it l.
itself borrower Another interest
ing morscl was TO the effect that thu
Standard Oil's foreign exchange bust
ness averages In the year Sl5,000,000.
