The appearance of d band of Gyp-

 That some men are easy marks was again demonstrated this morning when Jack JerO. a foreigner, allowed a couple of Gypsy women to rob him of quite d sum, the exact amount a News reporter failed to get. as two or three amounts were named. At first Mir. Jero stated that they robbed him of $15o, then again of $140. The latter figures seem to be correct
 MT. JerO states that he was walk ing down Central avenue and happen ed to pass the place where the two Gypsy women had constructed a booth adjoining the Pastime pool parlor. They accosted him with the usual in vitation to come in and have his for tune told, which he consented to do.
 When inside the booth. the Gypsy woman, who was to tell the fortune, told Nr. Jero. so he stated, to place his money in her hand, assuring him that she would return the full amount to him. He drew out a wad of green hacks from his pocket, amounting to $25o. and placed the wad in her hand. The fortune was then told, and when the wad was returned there was but $ll0 in bills.
 Mr. Jero made for the consables office and reported his loss to Deputy Constable George Howell, who placed the Gypsies under arrest. They were taken to the city jail, where a rigid search of their persons was made.
 Mir. ,Jero is visitor in the city. He came here from Cheyenne, Wyoming, and states that he has been here about two months. He is stopping ct the Morris house on Laurel street,

Ferd Havis, a local negro Republi- can. took a prominent part in the re- cent Republican state convention at Hot Springs. In a speech before that body Wednesday Havis is quoted in a special as follows:
 After the negroes had been assur- ed that they would be given a chance to be heard, Ferd Havis, the Foraker leader from Pine Bluff, made a speech ill which he suggested that the sud den desire of the organization to in- struct for Taft indicated that there was a contract of some kind by which ii was provided t.at unless the con- vention instructed for Taft, somebody would lose his i)h. He declared that only 50 days ago rhe party leaders in the state had come out in favor of an uninstruC' Allegation. but that they were IT. Y ,'!ano.ing for instruc- tion.
