ARKANSAS

Cox and Cook Before Grand Jury.
Two of the best-known men in the
alleged boodling scandal in Arkansas
were before the Pulaski county Grand
Jury Saturday They were T. l.. Cox
and M. d. l.. Cook. There has not
been a trial in Pulaski county, rela-
tive to the boodling in the Senate
Of 1905. in which these men have not
appeared as witnesses. In the trial
of Butt and Covington they gave dam
aging testimony, which was as much
against themselves as it was against
the defendants.
Senator ]. H. Holland was also be-
fore the Grand Jury Saturday. Sena-
tor Holland was witness in the Gov
ington trial. At that time he was
asked to explain his vote on the bill
that provided for an appropriation for
the new state capitol He explained
that he voted for the bill because he
thought the capitol should be COM
pleted speedily and because he had
learned the needs of the building from
one of the commissioners, who was
a personal friend of his.

MoDoueal Shoots at Noel Albright.

w. c. McDougal, who was shot and
seriously wounded several weeks ago
at Newport, by Noel Albright, Tuesday
afternoon shot at his former assailant,
and, had not officers interfered, would
undoubtedly have killed him.
McDeugal was standing on Front
street, almost exactly in the spot he
stood when Albright shot him. AL
bright passed by and when he had
gone past, McDougai drew SO pfs-
toll and fired one shot. Albright saw
the gun before McDougal could use
it and ran into a store, McDougal pur-
sued, but he could not overtake his
man before an officer grabbed the gun
and disarmed him. 1t is probable the
first shot would have been effective
but for the fact that McDougaFs
right arm is not yet well from the
wound Albright inflicted and he could
not handle his pistol.

.HENEYS FIGHT AGAINST VICE
NOT SATISFIED WITH DOWN
FALL OF INDIVIDUALS.
Declares That the Hideousness Of the
Conspiracy to Defeat the Law
Must Be Disclosed.

SAN FRANCISCO. November 23.-The
Call this morning prints the first inter-
view granted to the press by Francis j.
Heney since the district attorney was
shot, in Judge LAWYERS court room. No
vember II, by Morris Haas, while the
hearing of one of the cases against Ruef
was in progress.
After expressing devout thanks for his
escape Mr.. Heney said
'In this great human battle against vice
and corruption let no one believe that the
true source is to be found in the individ-
ual dynamiters, jury brbers, kidnapers
and assassins and that their extermina-
ton means ultimate victory. Such beings
are but the bubbles yelling from the pool
of filth that has been years in making.
The seed has been sown and we must
reap the harvest, but in gathering the
tares let us be satisfied with nothing but
the root.
1T has been a terrible sacrifice. but if
my blood has not been shed in vain; if
the assaSsin's bullet has suddenly dis
closed to the public eye the hideousness
of the gigantic conspiracy to defeat the
law, then l shall feel that I have not
lived in vain: that my poor efforts have
met with Unreasonable benefit to my be-
loved city and state"
The foregoing is a part of the state
ment which is published over Mr.. Heney's
signature. The wounded man is we'll on
the road to recovery and declared that he
was eager to get back to the prosecution
Of the graft cases again.

out in unexpected places. We owned a
croquet set. which was carried across
the street to the house every evening.
Two boys had been delegated to carry
1t over one evening. and the amazed
director reached the gate just in time
to see a procession crossing the street
The box was heaped with grass and
weeds. There were bearers at the head
and feet. and the followers sang some
thing that did duty as a funeral dirge
With the coming of the first touch of
autumn in the air. the old active games
began to assert themselves. But the
transition in our playground was gradual
The dramatic instinct still held sway.
But. instead Of doing acts on a stage, we

fence had been allowed to grow. and
they furnished D most acceptable

and even hints of Skinny. The days of

ADMITS EXCESS PROTECTION.
Representative of Wholesale Crock
ery Dealers Wants Tariff Reduced.

The tariff on earths, earthenware and
glassware was considered by the House
ways and means committee at its hearing
today. Most of the forenoon was spent
in asking questions of witnesses about
the pottery business in this country and
abroad.
Jerome Jones of Boston. representing
wholesale dealers in crockery and glass
ware, was the first to address the COM
mittee today.
I'VE believe that the domestic manu-
facturer is entitled 10 protection" he
said. but not beyond the point which he
himself during the past twelve years
has demonstrated as sufficient.
I'VE believe that the difference in the
cost of production of American and
foreign ware is nearer thirty or thirty
five per cent than the fifty-flye per cent
on white and sixty per cent on decorated
ware, which are the protective duties
imposed by the present law. This diff
resents excess protection"
Mr.. Jones declared that protection on
the poorer grade of toilet ware is I'M
necessary and is excessive on the better
grade.
Chairman Payne desired to know if it
would be more satisfactory to have the
ad valorem duty imposed according to
the market price. duty paid. in the
United States or upon the foreign market

the allegation that the foreign prices are
sometimes undervaluations is untrue.

instinct. The games he plays are of the
dramatic type. and for a time these
satisfy him. But there comes a period
a little later perhaps at the age of ten
or twelve, when the desire to act pos
sesses him.
This histrionic passion seized our play
ground in August. 1t ran its course for
weeks Nothing would take it's place.
We had a large tent on the grounds for
shelter and the playground benches.
placed together at one end of this, FORM
ed the stage-the extra benches being left
for seats. A medicine show which had
held forth for a time in a vacant lot
near by furnished further inspiration
Many of the acts from the show were
accurately reproduced, supplemented with
others copied from cheap vaudeville.
These performances. while highly anus
commended. An antidote was found in
demonstrations of some OF the stories
which had proved most popular. The
scene at Circes palace was given with
great earnestness. the actors taking the
part of the men turned into swine being
especially effective.
The children did most of their own
dramatizing. usually making up as
they went along. They were doing the
three houses-of straw, of mud and of
brick. The wolf had come to the last
house He had huffed-he had puffed,
but the house had not fallen in. He
stood in deep meditation. and then, with
sudden emphasis brought out by
George. I've got to get that pig some
way.
Children Like to Act.
This dramatic instinct is apt to break
