WILL NEGRO PETI-
 TONERS BE COUNTED?

Considerable discussion has been heard lately on the streets in regard to the counting of the negroes who signed the petition of the prohibition ists to petition the saloons out of Pine Bluff and many conjectures have been made as to Judge Gould's action in regard to the matter. The law, however. makes no distinction be- tween the races and only specifies that the signer be a legal resident Many criticisms have been made of the manner of soliciting the negroes, many feeling that indiscretion was shown.
 If was stated Friday that the peti- tloncrs had stated to Judge Gould that they were willing to leave out the negroes and have the petitions judged on the basis of the white vote if il were legal to do so. A promi- nent prohibitionist when interviewed Friday stated that over ninety per cent of the women of the city had signed and that three-fourths of the

 London, July 1.-The American team suffered during the tug of war of the Olympic games today for a representative on the governing board The British team entered the field with steel tips on their boots in clear violation of the rules. but the protest of the Americans was not al- lowed and the Britishers had an easy time pulling the Americans over the wet field. Daniels of America won the mile swim Barnes of England won the 10 mile walk. President Sul- livan of the American Athletic Un- icn today refused an invitation to serve with the governors after having been refused the right to get on the field before.

residents of the district had signed the petition and that the victory was sure. Judge Gould stated yesterday that no matter what the result of the petition was, that the saloons would
 not be molested till January 1 at which time their paid up licenses ex- plre. He further stated that if the petitioners won, that the law left no recourse but abolishment of the traf- fic which he would as judge strictly enforce. It is said that the petitioners, though they started out with the in- tertion of immediate prohibition, now agree that the proper thing to do is to wait until January 1, as the sa- looms have paid their licenses up to that time and the city has expended the money Those in charge of the petitions refuse to give any accurate information as to the number of sign CTS and the petitions so far have not been eXamined. The matter will be reviewed at an early date. however, and decided upon by Judge Gould.

.FLEECED HIS OWN PARTNER
Arthur Hutchinson Betrayed by Ac-
complete in Theft of Ostrich
plumes.

Charged with stealing from his own
partner Arthur Hutchinson was taken in
TO custody by the police yesterday and will
have to answer to a charge of grand lar
ceny. The arrest Of Hutchinson was
brought about by the weakening of young
Jail.
Hutchinson, with George II. Blanchard,
has been engaged in the sale of ostrich
plumes, their trade being confined to
the smaller stores throughout the west.
Last Saturday, while Blanchard and
Zepp We're in a restaurant, Hutchinson
entered and with a well-feigned appear
ance told Blanchard that someone had
entered their room in the Windsor hotel
and stolen their stock of forty-one plumes.
Taking Blanchard off to one side, Hutch
inson told him that he suspected Zepp
of the theft, and that they had better go
TO the police station to report the mat
ter As they started to leave the res
taurant zepp followed them, but Hutch
inson turned and told him:
We don't need you"
The partners then went to the station
and reported the loss.
According to the confession made,
Hutchinson had arranged that he would
conceal the plumes, and the play of tax
ing Blanchard TO the station and leaV-
ing Zepp behind was simply to give the
latter the opportunity TO go 10 the room
and get the stuff. This he did while the
other two were at police headquarters,
ana then TOOK ValiSe containing the
plumes to the Rio Grande depot. where.
under the instructions of Hutchinson, he
checked II in the parcel room
Hutchinson Is held under a grand lar
ceny charge, but it is probable that in
view of the fact that he was simply a
tool, Zepp will be shown leniency.
