New Cabinet Man Plan Of Roosevelt.

Washington. Sept. 10. - President Roosevelt is considering seriously mak- Ing a recommendation in his next an- nual message to congress for the cre- ation of a new executive federal de- partment to be called the department of transportation. Regulation by the federal government of all avenues of transportation would be taken over by this new department should congress act favorably. and another cabinet member would result. All railroads. pipe lines. water lines. express compa- nies and the telegraph and telephone companies will be included. for the president is convinced that these ave nues of transportation comprise a suffi- riently large and important branch of the public service to be grouped to- gether under a department of their own.

The books from 1895 to the present time are now being examined.
 The report states that two systems were followed in the thefts. In many cases persons received receipts when making payments, and the account was allowed to remain on the books In other cases the amount of the bill was credited and the money stolen from the funds in the office. Owing tc the fact that rubber stamp was used in receipting bills, it is not thought that the guilty persons can be reached

TRADE EXTENSION.

Since the 2-cent passenger fare bill is ROW in effect, the time seems most opportune to the Graphic for the inauguration of the trade ex- tension plan discussed by the Tax payers League and number of merchants and business men re- gently. The scheme should not be allowed to drop. With 2-cent passenger fare now in effect, the plan is more feasible than ever. All that needs to be done to ac- complish it is organization and CO., operation. Both the Board of Trade and Taxpayers League should address themselves to this subject What the people of Pine Bluff want from these organiza- tions is practical results and not political resolutions.

 The Worlds Work gives the last census report as it's authority for the statement that the most inn portant industry in the state of New York is the making of women s clothes. That and the making of clothes for men total over $340,- O00, ,00O. Nearly 75 900 people are engaged in making clothes for women and 53,O00 in making clothes for men, Out of every S100 worth of clothing made for wo men in one year. New York state produced s10 worth. In collars and cuffs for men, New York man ufactured nearly 97 per cent of the entire output of the nation. \ question that is constantly recurring to us, says the Charlotte Observer. is how in the world do the men of the town manage to make money enough to dress the women? Tn the light of the foregoing figures it is enlarged 10 the inquiry. how do the men of the United States contrive to clothe the women?

DAVIS MAKES
 ANNOUNCEMENT
United States Senator Tells What He Intends To Do to
 Representatives

An interview with United States Senator Davis, written by United States Senator Jeff Davis and brought to the Gazette office last night by John H. Page. political manager for Mir. Davis, follows:
 When seen by Gazette re- porter and asked as to his future course with reference to the King antitrust bill and the amendment adopted thereto, the Lee-Browning bill, MT. Davis said he had no doubt that the Lee-Browning bill repealed the entire antitrust law and he believed that the legislature voted on this matter fully cognizant of the effects of their vote.
 Mir. Davis said that, in his judg- ment. the passage of the Lee Browning bill was a repudiation of the Democratic platform and policy the fight stop at this stage-but that he intended to carry the war into the county of each representa- tive who voted for the Lee-Brown- ing bill, and while the trusts have { gained a temporary victory in Ar kansas, he intends that the people shall know who is responsible. Mr Davis says he will speak at every picnic, barbecue or other public gathering to which he is inviteed until this matter is thoroughly threshed out before the people Counties in which the representa- tives voting for the bill live shall have preference in accepting the misunderstanding in Spe lket Hamiter's connly. y."--Little Rock Gazette

When the president general called for the report of the treasurer general at today's session Mrs. Davis informed 1 the congress that owing to the Audit work she was unable to get her report out in time for reading, and that t was still in the hands of the printers. i Immediately Mrs. Mclean. the presi- dent general, arose and addressed the : treasurer general, saying:
 \ Naughty Query.
 You have no report when it is call ed for by the society? Is it possible that you have not copy of it?''
 Mrs. Davis replied with much ami nation that her report was in the hands of the printer, but that she would see to it that it was presented when the congress met after the re- cess for luncheon.
 Following up her statement Mrs i Davis asked of the president general why no recommendations were made on her report last year, saying that il had been left up in the air.
 Mrs Mclean replied: That seems to be the condition of your reports this year."
 The latter remark created consider able excitement and a number of dele gates endeavored to secure recognition one delegate asking if it was not the first time in the history of the con- gress when report was not ready on time.
 Mrs. Mclean soon secured order and the convention resumed it's business program. The reading of the report of the Auditing Committee was post poned pending the receipt of the treas urers report.
