Street.

Six Cinnamon, who gave fictitious
names to the police. were arrested
Tuesday night in raid by the police

Chief Short headed the raid and
prepared the drag net by which the
arrests of the Cinnamon were made,
and was assisted by the officers on
the day shift of the police work. At
late hour in the night the chief
refused to give any definite informa-

The police found quantity of
opium and opium pipes and other

though each of the men arrested dis

usual and customary step with the
Chinese when arrests are made in
opium raids.

When three socialist speakers at

day evening at the corner OF South
First and Yakima avenue, they were
ARRESTED by CHEZ Nels Short, Deputv
Sheriff Grant and Officer Perry des-
pito the fact that one of the speakers
had been arrested Sunday for speak
ing on the street and promptly re-
leased in court by Police Judge
Luhman.
The three men arrested were James
A. Duggan, representative of the
socialist party from Portland, A. NJ.
Reed, who comes from Spokane, and
]. A. Walker, a gray haired represent
ative of the local branch. 1t is said
that the latter is not a dyed-in-the-
wool socialist although he made him
self martyr to the cause on Tuesday.
Duggan opened the meeting at the
corner, there being a small gathering
Of men. some OF whom were attract
ed BY the report that the police would
take action. Hardly had he uttered
a word when Chief short caught him
by the shoulder and walked away
with him. Walker stepped forward
from the crowd and started 10 speak,
when Deputy Sheriff Grant took hold
of him and told him he was under
ARREST. Reed followed and was ar
rested BY Officer Perry under instruc-
tions Of the chief.
This seemed to put an end to the
socialist material in the crowd. at
least as far as speakers were con-
cerned, and the three men were TAX

remained for the night
Chief Short SAYS that no socialist
meetings will be permitted on the
streets of North Yakima. unless the
men secure a permit from Mayor
Lombard. Mayor Lombard has not
issued any permits SO far. but is re-
ported to have said that no street
meetings would be permitted on Yak

rests il there was any blockade OF
travel or any sign of trouble.
What Police Judge Luhman will
do if the three mon are brought be
fore him in the morning is a puzzler
to many who know Of the case. The
police judge clearly indicated in
court that he did not consider the ar
rest Of the socialists for street speak
ing as justified.
George A. Dial, member Of the
local branch of the socialist party,
stated Friday evening that the party
did not sanction street speaking and
were trying to stamp out the prac-
tice. He further stated that the men
had not been asked to speak on the

Fort Smith, Feb. 27. This morning Naomi Tiles. the old est daughter of George Tiles, attempted suicide by shooting, at the family residence. The bullet entered the left side just below the heart, inficting a wound that is likely to prove fa- tai. Miss Tiles has been an in- valid for some months. Her con- dition, though treated by the most eminent specialists of the country, grew constantly worse and created a despondency that caused the attempt at self-de- Struetioa. She is engaged to be married to a Little Rock drug gist. The wedding has been de- layed because of the condition of her health.

TO THE CANDIDATES FOR REPRESENTA-
 TIVE

GENTLEMEN: A few of us old Con federate veterans have been talking matters over and have decided to let you know that we are still living enti- ties; that we feel that We are entitled to some consideration and respect; that we are, under the laws of the state. still entitled to a vote; that when we petition the legislature, through our representative, we demand, and have right to expect decent consideration. In the last session of the Arkans IS leg islature we feel that we did not recieve such treatment.
 We sent our representative a peti- tion, signed by number of men who in their young days offered the state their services and lives, and for four years bore the hardships and against greatly superior numbers won victo- ries unparalled in history. This peti- tion, so far as we could learn, re- ceived no notice or consideration, and letters written by veterans relative thereto were not answered. We write this to let you gentlemen know that we expect at least decent treatment, and that we will meet you at Philippi in the ides of March.

It seems so hard to give him up but the Lords will. not ours be done. We can't call him back but we feel that he has been transplanted to a brighter and purer home above.
 It is so hard for us to give onr loved ones up. Oh, how sad my heart felt when heard that Ernest was dead :! May the Lord help us that We may not grieve for him for I know that he is happier in Heaven than he would be here. Listen to the promise of Jesus; Tn my Fathers house are many man. sions. go to prepare place for you that where l am, there you may be al- so. Then with this blessed assurance let nae live near God that may meet him there Ard when am done with this dark world and enter the world of light then God nrar will bless me more and grant me everIastius light.
 One by one earth ties are broken
 As We see loved ee-s e.Nay.
 And the hopes so fondly cherished
 Brighten but to pass away.
 One by one our hopes grow brighter
 For across the river will meet

EDITOR PICAYuNE, Prescott, Ark.

EDITOR PICAYUNE, Prescott, Ark,
 DEAR SIR:-The old Vets article in your last weeks paper was all right and voiced the sentiment of all old Vets and now permit another old Vet to add a few more words. During the last re- union at Richmond, Va, l undrstand some three or four States sent their U. C. V's free of sll cost to them; also, Dallas. Texas chartered three coaches for the old L. C. N's of that place and county. which was right. There are but few left and l think they ought to be exempt from poll and road taxes. It would be but jlst to them if the laws of this State and every other State made vetrans over 6o yeas of age ex
 empt from poll tax, and al 45 exempt from road duty. Why ls 1t that the men who suffered four long years of untold hardships should be forced to such unfair taxation? How Is 1t possi- ble that our state legislators are so in- deferent in regard to this matter? Have they no respect or honor for the few old Confederate soldiers that are left? There are many of them who have never had the pleasure of attend ing an annual reunion as yet, owing to poverty. Let our next legislature con sider the claims of the men who wore the gray.
