WHAT THE LEGISLATURE IS DOING
Brief Sketch of the Most Import- ant Bills Introduced in the
 General Assembly

Both houses of the Arkansas legislature convened in Little Rock at noon Monday.
 John I. Moore of Helena was elected president of the senate and Allen H. Hamiter of LaFay- cite county was elected speaker of the house.
 At the opening Tuesday morning Senator Oldham of PaIaskf county, took the floor and made a. motion that Senator Adams be ex- pelled immediately.
 Senator Adams arose and resign ed verbally. Senator Wingo ob- jected, declaring the resignation should not be accepted at that time. Senator Oldham joined in the discussion, and declared that the man should be punished.
 President Moore ruled that the resignation should be put into writing, and within a short time Senator Adams had prepared a written statement of consid erable length, which he presented.
 After stormy session of some two hours over the case of Senator Adams, during which the senator himself appeared on the floor and presented a written resignation that was taken to be practically a con- fesslon that he had accepted a bribe the senate agreed to suspend action on the matter until Wednesday morning at 10'clock.
 By the unanimous vote of the Sen ate Reuben R Adams of the ninth senatorial district was expelled from the upper house of the legis- lature and capacitated from ever holding public office in the gift of the state.
 The first bill of the session was introduced by Senator Amis of Cleveland, regarding horse racing in Arkansas. In brief the bill provides for fines and imprison- ment for any person selling pools or in any way conducting betting in connecting with racing in the state. It also provides for punish ment for public officials who neg lect to prosecute all cases brought to their notice in violation of the bill. The bill was ordered printed and committee of three appointed to bring the bill to the notice of the house.
 A bill was introduced in the sen ate to provide for working convicts on the public roads and to prohib- it leasing convicts.
 Three different bills were in- troduced in the senate providing for tWo-cent passenger fare on all railroads in the state of more than 75 miles in length.
 The newspaper and stamp bill was the xtintroduced. It appropri- ates the sum of % cents for stamps each day to each senator, and gives him the privilege of sending as many as 40 copies of any paper the proceedings of the legislature to his constituency, the expense to be paid out of the gen. eral appropriation.
 Governor Davis will retire to- day (Friday) and Governor Little will be inaugurated. It has been six years since Governor Davis was first inaugurated.

THE POLICE COURT.
Two Suits of W. S. Trott Stolen From
 Clothes Line.

Having little difference over cards yesterday in saloon on Chat field avenue Francesca Durio, Errico Basta and Rafel Tosta tried "to set tie it hand" But Durio became
 suspicious of the other fellows and
 hooked it for the police station where he made complaint that Tosta was trying to kill him. Officer Berg1n went out on the job and he found
 Tosta, who is baker, standing near
 his bakery looking for fight. He took
 him into custody and upon searching him found revolver with three
 loaded cartridges in it. Durio said
 Basta had made stroke at him with
 a knife, but no knife was found on Basta. Judge Burpee in the city
 court to-day find Basta $10 and costs and said that but for the doubt in
 the evidence about the knife he
 would have imposed heavier penal ty, while he fined Tosta $5 and costs for carrying concealed weapons.
 The case against the two men who
 made a disturbance on Bishop street
 Saturday night was continued to Thursday
 Yesterday morning Warren S..
 Trott of 64 Chestnut street saw a
 man stripping the clothes lines in
 his yard. Two suits of his had been put on the lines and the stranger helped himself to them with an air of composure that was most admir-
 able under the circumstances. The
 suits were valued at $4S. The man
 was chased away and he was in time to catch a train at the union depot.
 Detectives were put on the case and it was found he had disposed of suit and pants to laborer working on
 the railroad job near 'Miser's Lot" or High Rock grove. The foreman of the job saw the purchaser extract some letters from the coat and sus- pecting that something was wrong telephoned the police. Later most of the clothes were recovered by De-
 tective Keegan. The man was also arrested and he gave his name as
 Frank Morgan. He was held in $200
 bail for trial tomorrow.
 A boy named Bernard BossiAi, aged s years, charged with theft of twenty newspapers from Frank Phelan's
 news store, GOA South Main street,
 was put on probation for thirty days, and case against Burwell Frank
 lin charged with peddling without
 having license was let go.

CAFE BURGLARIzED.
Maurice McCarthy's Quarters a Mec.
 ca for the Moneyless.


 The cafe of Maurice Mccarthy at 43S South Main street was burglar !zed last evening by a fellow who. it is believed, was hiding in the place when 1t was closed. About s25 was taken. although gold watch and some small change was not touched. The s25 was hidden away in a part of the store where the burglar must nave seen Mir Mccarthy ocoosit it as he was closing up. The thief made his exit by going through the toilet room whence he cravled through a window and broke open a door which landed him outside the saloon. Me- Carthy closed up at the usual time last evening. but in his haste to catch a car was not as careful in looking over the place as Is his cus- tom. Twenty-Five pennies and the timepiece were the only things left in the register and the casn was hid- den. It is thought that the burglar was then hiding some part of the store and saw Mccarthy in all his movements. At any rate this morn ing the money was gone and as there was no evidence of any one break ing into the store the police came to the conclusion. since it was seen how the thief escaped. that the intruder was in the store when it was locked up
 The detectives expect to arrest the thief before night If he is still in town A few months ago the cafe of Nr Mccarthy vas entered but the thief made a poor haul. ss there vas very little in the cash register which vas suashe1 ia the effort to open 1t.

FOR TODAY'S FUTURITY

New York, Aug. a.-onIy eight starters
are assured in the rich Futurity. which
will be run at sheepshead Bay today as
the feature OF tho opening OF the Coney
Island Jockey clubs fall meeting. The
smallness OF the field Is due wholly to the
fact that James II. Keene Is believed to
hold a winning hand in the unbeaten colt
Colin, by Commando Pastorella.
Collins praises have been sung at great
length. He has won all OF his starts in
a way that has made him appear the
greatest 2-year-old that ever looked
through a bride in this country.
But Colin and his stable companions are
going TO meet some OF the best two-year-
olds that ever started in the race. For in
stance there is the Frank Farrell colt. Jim
Gaffney. This youngster will go to the
post a hundred per cent better colt than
local racegoers remember him. He came
to hand at Saratoga better than any other
colt that raced at the spa, and his per-
formances there were OF the highest order
He Is one worthy opponent for the
Keene horses. Another one is Chapulte-
pee, the half-brother to De Mund. He
reeled off the six furlongs in exactly 1:14,
much faster than his trainer wanted him
to 20 yesterday.

shown lately will have to be reckoned
