NO MORE SPECIAL.
 DELIVERY STAMPS

After July 1 Pine Bluffians will not find it necessary to place a-spe- cial delivery stamp on letter or package, if they wish that it reach it's destination in haste. Eve 2-cent ordinary postage stamps or ten l. cent stamps will do the work in the future.
 The postoffice department officials are looking forward with interest to the putting into effect of law permitting the transmission of let ters and packages for special de- livery where the necessary 10 cents postage is attached in addition to the ordinary postage. The law will become effective July 1 next, and is intended to do away with the neces- sity for the usual special delivery stamp. It is believed at the depart ment that considerable increase of business will result.

Hot Springs, March 19.-At the |points of their revolvers, fifteen mem bers of the Citizens Improvement Un- ion, commissioned as deputy con stables, effected their entrance into |Oaklawn raeetrack this afternoon at o'clock and arrested eighteen men who were alleged to have been bet |ting on the races. No opposition was. made to the work of the officers by those arrested, who took the affair in Ia very sensible manner.
 Early this afternoon it was rumor ed that a number of deputies would Invade the track and arrest all who were seen to be violating the provis ions G .Sthe Amis anti-pool selling law. A large crowd was out to view the {performance. True to the rumor, at 8 o'clock fifteen citizens of this coun- | ty, deputized by Constable Boss Gold en of Hale township, appeared at the gate and demanded entrance of the gatekeepers, George Howell and Ray Gill. This request was refused, as 1t is against the rules of the track to permit any one to enter the grounds who is known to be opposed to the method of conducting the races. At the refusal all the deputies pulled their guns, pushed back the guards and proceeded to the betting ring. No bookies were to be seen in the booths. Later three men were arrested on view for hand booking. Fifteen oth- ers were arrested on warrants procur- led this morning.
 Those arrested bowed to the au- thorties and made bond Immediately
 without leaving the track.
 Inasmuch as Constable John l..
 lfnith is' under a restraining order of

 zens requested Constable Golden If

rect opposition to the Amis anti-pool selling law He acceded to the re- quest and deputized fifteen citizens, who made the raid on OaklaWn this afternoon.
 Constable Hale is being criticised severely here by the sporting element and also by many of the citizens for the part he took in deputizing citizens, as it is held that he was meddling in something which did not concern him at all. On the other hand, a large portion of the people of this city and county are lauding him highly for the action he has taken, as it is felt by this class that Sheriff R. L. Williams has been derelict in performing the duties of his office.
 Since the wrangla over the situation has begun, all members of the Citi- zens' Improvement Union are barred from the grounds even though they hold tickets for which they have paid in cash.
 Dan Stuart, president of the Oak lawn Jockey Club was arrested yes terday by Sheriff Williams on war rant charging him with aiding and abetting the selling of pools at the track. He gave bond and will appear in justice court tomorrow.
 The following men were among those who were deputized and who made the arrests:
 R. s. Dean, Eugene Warren, A. T. Moody, Calvin Webb, James Housley, Wander Housley, J. B. Wood, John Montgomery, Henry Campbell, Hugh L. Hale and Constable Boss Golden. Injunction proceedings were insti- tuted tonight against the leaders of the posse The case will be heard in chancery court tomorrow afternoon.
