REFORMER w. T. AMIS
 SPOKE LAST NIGHT

4 large crowd of temperance en- thusiasts and citizens attended the big
 rally of the prohibitionists on the court square last night and heard an able presentation of the temperance lside of the question by Rev. w. T. Amis of Hot Springs and G. H. Worth en of Texas. Rev. Amis gained con- siderable notoriety recently as a civic and moral reformer at Hot Springs and to large degree was responsible for the so-called "lid' that is said to he over the Vapor City. Rev Amis
 seemed to meet the expectations of his friends and received considerable applause from his audience. He con- fidently predicted the victory of the prohibitionists in Jefferson county in 1 Pulaski county wolld go dry. The lec- Iturers were seconded i1 their temper
 ance appeal by stereopticon views H. frustrating different phases of the evils
 of intemperance in drinking, That l the fight will be a close one at the | polls is easily seen by the enthusiasm shown at these meetings, so claim
 the prohi leaders. All over the county the drys have speakers stumplng and
 the fight appears to be warmer than ever before in this county.

WILL THE BALL
 PLAYERS BE PAID?

The season of 1908 for the Pine D!"fl Arkansas League team has clos ed. While Pine Bluff did not win the pennant yet the team as a whole played good ball and worked hard the whole season. Manager Berry, how ever, stated yesterday that there still remained unpaid several hundred dol lars on salaries to the players which they needed to pay board bills with and for transportation home. No one will deny that in all justice these players should be paid. Pine Bluff as city can not afford to advertise to the world that she allowed her ball team to end the season without being paid in full. Manager Berry will make one last effort toda. 70 raise the money from the citizens ol Pine Bluff and it is hoped that they will rally to this deserving cause. The players have justly earned the money and Pine Bluff fans and citizens should cheerfully dig down and pay it. It is uD 10 VCu

year. Judge Gould stated yesterday
 that the harvesting of his rice crop at Noble Lake had already commenced and that bountiful yield was as
 sured. Following the lead of Judge
 Gould, MT. Rutherford and othel
 planters of Jefferson county are plan hing to diversity their crops in the future and depend less on cotton, and many will try the culture of rice as !all so far produced in Jefferson coun- ty has far exceeded the expectations 'of the most sanguine. On Mr. Ruth erford's place the yield will be close to one hundred bushels per acre and as the cost of planting is small this will bring far better financial returns |than cotton.

Tho real test of a wall is its durability. A paper that fadee ---a tint that rubs off is a disappointment and loss.

ing that your color scheme is going to remain the color you so carefully chose.
 Consider the importance of the non-rubbng qualities of Alabastne that it IS perfectly safe to rub it down every week with dry cloth and the wall not show tell tale streaks.
 Realize please that there will be no fine little blisters which show white spots beneath and which are constantly multiplying. Then you will have an appreciation of the goodness and of the utility as well as of the beauty c! an Alabastined wall.

DECLARES SLOT MACHINES

Resident Notifies Board of Trustees
That, Failing Action, He Will
Appeal to the Grand

SAN PEDRO, Sept. 29.-At today $
meeting of the board of trustees a
communication was read TO the board
from Peter Lux calling the attention
of the trustees to the fact that slot
machines are being used in the saloons
and other places in the city in open
violation of state law Mr.. Lux was
told TO notify the marshal, but insisted
on knowing whether he would do any
thing, For If he doesn't said Mr..
Lux to the board, "Tll bring the mat

This is the second time within the
month that the board and the city
marshal have been notified officially
by citizens of the city that gambling
and other vices are being permitted
here.
The board accepted the resignation
of j. Mccoy as sire t superintendent
and Harold Mcdonald. from the en-
gineer's office, was given the position
Charles Pearson was made deputy
street superintendent.
A. S. koyer appeared for those in
favor of widening Sixth street from
Palos Verdes street to the city limits,
and a heated argument ensued between
those in favor of and those against
continuing the improvement. Finally
the matter was laid over for two weeks.
Petitions were received from mer-
chants objecting to the city allowing
auctioneers to operate in the city at a
license of $45 a month, and the board
decided not to amend the present or
dinance.
George H. Oswald was awarded the
contract for the grading, sidewalk and
curbing of Beacon street from the south

link in their supposedly projected line
from Pasadena to Los Angeles via the

The. bridge itself is not of great
value and must be replaced before
long. but the city would like very

make a public road clear through.
Mayor Farley accordingly suggested
that the Pacific Electric Railway com

SUMMONS NEWSPAPER MEN
BUT THEY WILL NOT TALK
Chief of Police Endeavorlng to Ascer-
tain Where information as to
Liquor Selling and Gam
bling Was Obtained

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 20
Seeking to learn where the leak is as
to information on gambling conditions
in the city and also as to illegal liquor
selling, Chief of Police Seccombe
caused the arrest of Allie Kelly, who
had been accused of running a gam
bling joint, and subpoenaed all the
newspaper men to tell what they knew.
The witnesses refused to divulge the
source of their information as mat
ter of self protection and thus the at
tempt of the police department ended
in a fiasco. The gamblers are making
loud threats of libel suits, etc, but as
yet have hesitated about instituting
any action of that sort, realizing that
the information comes from soul ce
too close in to make it safe.
Chief of Police Secombe admits that
there has been illegal selling of liquor.
but says that he cannot stop it owing
to the unfair privilege that the leading
hotel of the city enjoys, which handi-
caps the police in securing convictions
against restaurants. He also admits
that there has been gambling, but
says that he has closed the houses up
though he is inclined to protect the
home gamblers taking the stand that
outsiders should be driven out

APPOINT COMMITTEE
ON.CONSOLIDATION
SENATOR SAVAGE ASKS FOR
"BUSIrESS MEN"
He and Four Others Named by Board
Of Trustees to Meet Representa-
tives from Other Cities
In the County
Especial to The Herald.


SAN PEDRO, Sept. 2s.-At the re-
quest of State Senator William II. Saw
age the board of trustees today ap-
pointed a committee of five citizens
from this city to investigate the propo-
sition of consolidation with or annexa-
ton to the city of Los Angeles and
meet in convention the committees ap-
pointed from other cities in the county.
The following were named: w. H. Saw
age, William Davis, G. A. Lucas, j. II.
Dodson and Edward Mahar.
When the question of consolidation
with Los Angeles was revived in June
and some little activity manifested by
the citizens here along this line the
senator urged certain of his following
here to go Immediately before the
board and ask that a committee of
business men" be appointed to look
into the proposition 1t was not, now
ever, until several weeks ago that a
request was made of the board of trus-
tees to appoint this committee. AT the
meeting on the 18th instan moeion
was carried that the board appoint this
within thirty days, and to-
day President Walton read the names
of those chosen.
1t is believed by the friends of the
movement that the sem
ator, not wishing to oppose directly the
pressure that will be brought at the
next session of the legislature for an
allowing consolidation of
the two cities, will work with this COM
which is believed to be against
the proposition. Should other neigh
boring cities appoint like committees
and the convention be held the result of
this gathering, if opposed to the move
ment, would Offset any efforts made to
influence the legislature in behalf of
the proposition.
