GETTING OFF TOO EASY
White Women Convicts Are Pardoned Because no Quarters Are Provided
 at Penitentiary.

Little Rock. Oct. 2S.-Among the important bills to be intro' duced in the next session of the legislature, will be one from a Pulaski county member, which will ask for an appropriation to provide work house at the penitenuary for white women. At present no white women are kept ia the peuitentiary longer than to secure pardous for them. In this way the white women ot the state who violate the laws, and are sentenced to the peniten- tiary, escape without any pun ishment at all, which has nc tendency to check their crimes. It IS the plan of the legislature to ask for an appropriation suffi- cient to erect building at the new penitentiary, and this is to be used as tailor shop in which the women can be worked mak- ing garments for the other con victs.

DONAGHEY SEES FEDERAL JUDGE
Governor Elect Seeking Information Which Probably Will Influence Message on Railroad
 Rate Question.

Little Rock, October 29.-Gov. ernor-elect George W. Donaghey was in Little Rock yesterday to meet number of friends who wanted to talk matters of state interest over with him. What they were Governor Donaghey refused to state, but while here he spent considerable time going over the rate question, subject to which he will devote consider able space in his inaug ural speech. Before returning to his home in Conway in the afternoon, he call. ed upon Judge Jacob Trieber of the federal court and remained closeted with that official for some time. It is intimated that this visit will have considerable to do with what Governor Dou- aghey will say about the rail roads in his first message to the general assembly, much valuable information being secured from the federal judge.

AFRAID OF LEGISLATION.
Railroad Builder Says Will Be Little
 Done in Near Future.

Little Rock, Oct. 28.-Railroad building in Arkansas is not a pleasant duty at the present time, with it's antirailroad feeling and legislation" said E. G. Ham, mock, the builder of the Arkan- sas, Louisiana & Gulf, which only a short time ago completed it's line to Hamburg, and this will keep us from building in to Little Rock as soon as we would like to. There will be little rail road building in Arkansas now until after the legislature has met and the railroad builders know what the state is going to do. Our line will build to Little Rock all right in time, but with the present sentiment against railroads, no mouied man is go- ing to venture his money in rail- roads in Arkansas.

IS SMALL COMFORT
 FOR THE SHIPPERS
Railroads of State File Amended Freight Tariffs. but Reductions Made Are Trifling Will Cost
 Shippers Many Thousands.

Little Rock, Oct. 2S.-With the Arkansas railroad commission has been filed the amended freight tariffs of the various lines of the state, with the exception of the Frisco, the Kansas City Southern and number of short lines, and their revised rates go into effect November 2, with the exception of the Pine Bluff Western which is effective today. The new rates do not very much whittle the rates filed with the commission some time ago and withdrawn in order that cheaper rates mig ht be made. Some little reduction is made on cotton seed products and fertilizers, but the minimum on car lots is raised so high and the commodity rates are so mate rially lessened that the shippers of the state will pay in thousands Of dollars more monthly to the railroads than they have been doing under the old rates. The commission fixed the minimum weight for car of ice at 24,000, and the railroads in the new tar If raise it to 30,000 pounds. The minimum on all grains but oats is raised to 10000. This increase forces many shippers who have been getting car load rates on small car shipments to get back ou the old local freight rates. As soon as all the commissioners get together they will take up the new tariff and then decide what action shall be taken to protect the shippers.

MARTIAL LAW NOW
 SEEMS NECESSARY

A Misunderstanding.

There also seemed to have been a misunderstanding reg arding navlng the jail guarded since court has been 10 session. 1t was reported 10 Judge Steel a few days ago that an attempt had been made to break the jail. Up- on hearing this, Judge Steel or dereu the sherlff or some one nf his deputies to place d guard over 'be jail. It seems that Dave Goodner, who had guarded the lall while the repairs were being made after the last jail delivery, was told that the judge wanted the Jail guarded again. Thlnk- ing that the judge" referred to was County Judge Prckett, one of the deputy sheriffs asked the iatt'r if te had ordered the guard put on again, and Judge Pricketl said he had not, and not knowing of Judge Steel's order Goodnel was told that it was a mistake and he need not go back on duty
 The Polk county jail was bull two stories high. with plenty oI room foi the jtiler's family m tn' second story, where he would DO ia a position to properly guard the prisoners. This was talked of at the time of the last delivery but nothing was done excep place a guard ever the Jali untl the repairs were made, when tn guard was taken off.

The Second in a Short Time.

This IS the second jail delivery since the new cells were put in. The first, winch took place last August, was made possible by the fact that there is no one kept around the jail and parties from the outside had free access and plenty of time to go to the jail with heavy tools and pry oil the door 10 the combination locker box.
 The last delivery was like the first, accomplished because of d lack of proper guarding. IL al- so seems 10 have brought out a weak point in the new cells. The heavy bolts which slide from the combination box in front of the main cell door are protected by a strip of teel which is only held m place by three small bolts Two of these bolts were unscrew- Id last time and by pressing against the ends of the main dooI locking bolts they were pushed back until the door could b' opened.

NEW YORK. Dec. 1o.-The cotton mar,
ket opened barely steady at a decline of
aa7 points, owing to the failure of Liver,
pool to fully respond to yesterdays local
gain, and during the early session sold OFF
to a net loss of 5QS points under llquida-
ton and bear pressure and apprehension
of continued free offerings from the South.

Late in the forenoon the market, which
had rallied 8 or 4 points from the lowest,
sagged off to about the previous low point
Influenced somewhat by full estimates for
