scheme IS a very simple one. The law provides a penalty for selling or giving away of cigar cites, or cigarette papers. The smoking tobacco, which is used to make cigarettes is the same as that used in pipes, and the law does not affect this. But the pa per in which the tobacco is roll ed is the difficulty. Now comes the man who desires the papers, writes letter to the manufactur- CT of the tobacco, of his predica- ment, and straightway he is in receipt of neat bundle of ci- garette papers. It is reported that this scheme is working satisfactorily to devotees of the coffin tacks in this city.

'idence vlndIcates Thomas

'ollowing additional infor- mal regarding the Thomas case IS taken from today's Little Rock Democrat, and is the first public statement made by Rev. Jas. Thomas during. the entire controversy:
 All the available evidence ia. vors the contentious and the hon. or of James Thomas, who is there by thoroughly and most com. pletely vindicated and exonerat- ed.
 Rev. Mir. Thomas for the first time since the opposition to him was opened, has broken his si- lence and made a public state ment.
 He says that he is AZ years old, that he has never been any one but James Thomas, that he is not a criminal nor a fugitive from justice, that he has never know ingly wronged any man or wom- an, that he came to Arkansas 21 years ago and the following year was converted and since then he has been preacher in the M. E. Church, South.
 He says that he cannot under stand why Bishop E. E. Hoss ap- pears to have joined his enemies.
 Rev. Mi. Thomas went to Tex as three weeks ago, and preach ed at Carrizo Springs and De vine, meeting many who know Otto Brock, and from many of them he secured affidavits and letters that Otto Brock was much different man than James Thomas. Among these were Mrs. Ed English Sr. at Carrizo Springs, a former wife of Otto Brock, who added her weight of testimony to the unanimous verdict that Rev. James Thomas was not the Otto Brock who came to that place in the early eighties with a Punch and Judy show. There are in all about 15 of these deposi- tions and aflidavits, making the exoneration complete and conclu- sive.

Little Rock, Jan. 31.-The in. dlctment for bribery against George F. Chapline, representa- tive in the state legislature from Monroe county, in 1905, was yes. terday entered on the records of the Circuit Court as mol pressed. The indictment charged him with offering a bribe in connection with St. Francis levee bill which was pending in the legisla- ture at that time. Mr. Chapline was convicted on a similar indict- ment in the Circuit Court in 1906 and fined $25. That was for being In a conspiracy to solicit money for bribes to secure the passage of the Cache River Levee bill.
