Jodd Wants An Open Hot Springs.
IA


Members of the police and fire de-
partments of Hot Springs, usually
paid on the 4th of each month, are
in doubt as to their pay not only
for last month, but for any future
months until after the first OF the
year, when revenues are collectable
The city had 1872 in its Golfers on the
first of this month.
The statement of Mayor Jodd that
city scrip would be issued in payment
of obligations was not carried out
promptly, because it was feared the
market would be flooded soon and
the scrip reduced to half value.
Neither the tiremen nor policemen
have threatened to strike at yet, but
they are anxious about pay, and I'M
less it is forthcoming will quit before
the month is out, for they are men
whose circumstances in life demand
monthly incomes. The Finance Com
mittee is worried. If the men are
paid in scrip and it drops to hall
value they will quit, as salaries now
are small They cannot be paid In
cash.
Mayor Jodd, in view of these cir
cumstances, has come out openly Tor
a change from lid" to open town
conditions, with privileges OF CLUB
rooms under police regulation, and the
restoration of the race track through
petition to the legislature to repeai
the Amis bill. The race track pays
no direct revenue to the city, but Jodd
states the taxes should be raised ana
cannot be raised without larger per-
centage of visitors, and that such an
attraction as racing is necessary 10
bring the visitors.

Youthful Burglars Confess

The grocery store of Watkins &
Young of Batesville was broken into
recently and robbed of something
more than $40 by three boys eight, ten
and eleven years of age. Suspicion
was directed to these boys on account
of their lavish expenditures of money.
as they are of very poor families.
They spent $1l of the money for
goat and a cart and when arrested
they confessed to the burglary and
refunded about half of the money stol.

CHAPTER XiV.-Continued.

They are soon at the doors of the
country house. which are being thrown
open by some of Marina's old servants.
The great bandit bows and says laugh
ingly:
You seem to be in hurry, Signore,
Your meeting with your abducted
bride should be private one. do
not wonder at your eagerness." Barnes
has already turned to the house. My
young men who conducted your lady

marvellous beauty, though somewhat
overcome by fatigue and anxiety for
you and bashfulness. We take our
leave. deadly pistol shot, but will
watch over you and your spouse TO see
that no harm comes to you.
Then, it being whispered that the
enraged Saliceti has notified the gen
darmes by telegraph that the Bella

lowers silently disappear in the shad-
ows of the night.

Suspected Man Is Not Yet Found.

Turning it's full attention to the To-
DRY that, if he is not the murderer OF
Mrs. Ada Riechers, as charged by the
second husband, he can at least throw
light on the whereabouts OF the KID
mapped child who is his daughter by
the first marriage, the police OF HOT
Springs have heard from relatives OF
Wade in east Tennessee, and Ala
bama, but have not located the man.
Chief of Police Moore still hangs to
the theory that the man VINO killed
Mrs. Riechers and kidnapped the little
girl was more interested in the taking
of the child than the murder OF the
woman And for this reason he scouts
the idea that the little girl has been
murdered in the woods near Hot
Springs, or dropped from train be
tween there and Little Rock or Mem

J. F. Whitlock, state mineralogist,
has Travelled the entire distance from
Little Rock to Terre Haute, Ind. via
St. Louis, in his motor car, and IS now
at Terre Haute, his home, where he
is visiting his mother. Friends OF
Mr.. Whitlock here expect him to re-
turn about July 25.
Mr.. Whitock was the first to trav-
ell from Little Rock to st. Louis IN
an automobile 1t is presumed he
will ship the car back, as the trip
north proved very costly as the result
of bad roads The car is a staunch
and well-built one. but the roads
through northern Arkansas and south
ern Missouri were almost impossible.
Mr.. Whtlock made the trip for the
dual purpose of investigating certain
minerals in northern Arkansas and to
pick out the best route possible for
a good road between Hot Springs and
St Louis, Mo.

ROOSEVELT OVER
STEPS THE LIMIT
In His Effort to MuZZIe
the Press.
BRYAN DISCUSSES THE THREAT
Of the President in His Pana-
ma Message, in a Mas
terly Manner.

Commenting on the trouble between
President Roosevelt and Joseph Pulit-
ger, of the New York World, VIM. j.
Bryan comes out strongly on the side
Of tie newspapers and warns the Pres
ident that her cannot muzzle the press.
Under the heading, President Over
steps the Limit" Bryan says in the
last issue of the Commoner:
President Roosevelt has sent to
congress a message which announces
new and dangerous doctrine. 1t is
the duy. Of every publisher and ev-
cry believer in free speech and free
press to resent the Presidents at
tempt to use the Government to ter
rorize those who would criticisA the
action Of public officials. No official
cam be determined by a suit at law
merely because he is an official, and
no act of the Government is so sa-
cred THAT the humblest citizenl may
not express an adverse opinion up
on it.
1T is a matter of little conse-
quence whether the charges made by
the World are true or false-that
can be determined by a suit at law
in an ordinary way-but it is a mat
ter of great Importance that every
other individual shall be free to ex-
press his opinion on any subject con-
nected with public affairs.
THE World demands an investiga-
ton of the Panama purchase, and it
is for congress to determine wheth-
en- the inVestiga ton shall be made.
The fact that the President thinks
no investigation is necessary is i'm
material If law is passed which
requires the Presidents concurrence
he can sign it OF veto it-that is his
constitutional right. If upon receiv-
ing his veto hteHouse and theSenate
approve of a measure by two thirds
vote the mountaineering TO- the
onstitution-becomes a law in spite
of the President.
In 50 far as the Senate and House
can constitutionally act Without the
Presidents concurrence, they are al
liberty to do so without consulting
him or in spite of anything he says.
In 50 far as either House has a right
to investigate, it can do so whether
he approves or not. An investiga-
ton is the best me hod Of bringing
cut facts, and if there has been mis-
representations the President ought
10 urge investigation rather than OPP
pose it."
