eurdav Pool Now Under the Lid.
M


For the first time in many months
the pedestrians along the business
.,reets of Fort Smith were not greet
al by the clicking of the worries, the
d;scordant humping of the cues on
tho floor or the confused mumbling
=, voices issuing from the Sunday
noolhall. The lid has been placed on
the city by the municipal and state
authorities and a few nails driven and
o,inched to hold it down.
The closing of the pool halls on Sun
dav is the result of long and bitter
aght which has been waged for many
weeks past The matter was brought
n a head by the recent Grand Jury,
which severely censured Police Judge
r,esr Previous to that the poolroom
owners appeared in police court each
Monday morning by proxy and paid
a fine of IS each. The Grand Jury
urged the police magistrate to increase
the fine to the maximum, but this he
refused to do, although the fine was
made SO. In the meantime. the state
prosecuted each week, but failed to
secure a conviction before juries.
The action of Judge Freer in refus-
ing to put stop to Sunday pool arous-
cd such a storm of indignation that
talk of impeachment was becoming
common. So stormy was public senti-
ment that, during the past week con-
yictions were secured against Sunday
poolroom men and the maximum fines
imposed. although Al cases had been
tried previously Sunday the rooms
were closed for the first time and on
one a large sign reading Keep Out"
was in evidence.

Fate of 2-Cent Rate.

The filing of suits in the federal
court Saturday against the railroad
commission asking that all the orders
of the commission relative to freight
rates and schedules be set aside and
that the two-cent passenger rate law
be nullified was surprise to the legal
profession generally and more or less
of shock to the general public.
Many persons Saturday were de-
sirous of knowing just what would
happen to the two-cent rate, If the
court should grant temporary re-
straining order during the tendency
of the suits. An answer to the queS-
ton is not to be had in Little Rock.
John NJ. Moore of the law firm Of
Moore. Smith & Moore, counsel for the
railroads, could not give definite
answer to the question.
Whether the two-cent rate would
be abolished upon the granting of a
temporary restraining order, is ques-
ton of policy that would have to be
determined by the roads themselves.
am not in position even to venture an
opinion as to what the roads would
do" said Mr.. Moore.
A railroad attorney, not directly in
terested in the suits, said he thought
the action of the roads will be govern
ed largely by the terms of the tempo
rary restraining orders that may be
granted.
