klNSMAN RESENTS REPORTS.
Col. Swami Declares Baltimore Po
lice Have Done Duty-He is
Brother-in-Iaw of Mrs. Williams.

Baltimore, Md.-Mrs. w. S. G. vii.
liams Monday described in detail the
shooting of Charles B. Roberts Jr.
1T was an attempt at robbery, pure
and simple" she declared, and Mr..
Roberts was shot because he refused
to comply with the demand of the
man in the mask who ordered him
to give up his money.
"Mr. Roberts was going along with
me in the rolling chair, and we got
TO a place whore the walk was rough
l suggested that we turn back. Just
as he told the negro to turn around
the chair stopped and a masked man
thrust a pistol in the chair and or
dered us to get out.
Mr. Roberts followed me, and as
soon as he had emerged from the
chair the man told him to give up his
money. When ordered to give up his
money, Mr. Roberts declared he
would do nothing of the kind.
Il was scared, and begged Mr.. Rob
erts to give the man what money he
had, but Mr.. Roberts instead, rushed
at the man who was covering him
with a pistol and stood only few
PAGES off AS Mr. Roberts started
forward the man fired two shots. AL
though struck by one of the bullets,
Mr.. Roberts kept on toward the man,
Cd ~,
the darkness"
Did either you or Mr.. Roberts rec
ognize the voice of his assailant?'
Mrs Williams was asked. She re-
piled in the negative.
Mrs Williams characterized as alb
surd the connecting d the names OF
her husband and brother with the
shooting She justified her being with
Roberts as entirely proper.
Col. Sherlock Swami, president of
the Board of Police Commissioners,
and a brother-in-law of Mrs Williams,
Monday called the newspaper men be-
fore the board and said:
81 have sent for you in regard to
the publication purporting to be a
dispatch from Atlantic City, stating
that the police of Baltimore had not
co-operated with the Atlantic City
police in trying to run down the man
who shot Mr.. Roberts. The dispatch
by inuendo, intimates that the lack
of cooperation was caused by the
fact that a member of the Board OF
Police Commissioners is family con
nection of one of the parties whose
name has been drawn prominently in
the case"
Then Col Swami, with some feel
ing, said: Il am sure that the Balti-
more police have done their duty and
that the fact that my name has been
| mentioned in the case because l am
personally acquainted with all those
| whose names have been mentioned
| has had nothing to do with the in
nuendo that our officials have not been
active"

Divide Normal School Contract.

The long-expected award for the
construction and installation Of the
water plant at the State Normal
the executive committee of the state
normal board at a meeting held at
noon Tuesday in the office Of the
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton, the successful bidders being c..
E. Rosenbaum of Little Rock and
Halter Bros of Conway.
The bids were somewhat different
from what the committee expected
and in order to secure the establish
ment of the plant at the lowest price
possible, it was necessary do award
the contract to two bidders, one for
the construction of the tower, the
tank and the supply of the machinery,
and the other for its installation.
There were four bids for the con-
tract, H. H. Schmuck of Little Rock
bid 1880 for the installation of the
plant complete and a similar bid was
made by NJ. B. Sanders of Little
Rock to perform the work for 81, $40.

tower for 1884 and the pump and
boiler for S495. The Little Rock

Have Gone to ST. Paul.

Friday evening the party represent
ing the state in the fight against the
petition for an injunction as asked by
the trunk line railroads of the state
left for ST. Paul, Mimi, where on
next Monday the injunction hearing
will be had in the federal court.
The provisions of the injunction
prayed for are sweeping, being a
prayer not only for repeal of the 2
cent passenger rate, but also for the
perpetual invalidation of all freight
rates made by the state railroad COM
mission. If successful in their petit
ton the railroad companies would at
one stroke place the state traffic con-
ditions in the status obtaining ten
years ago. This Is why the railroad
commission has appealed SO EN-
phatically to the shippers to be on
the qui vive in cooperating with the
commission in the matter of securing
rate testimony, and it is also the
reason why Attorney General Kirby
and the special counsel employed by
the state have spent many weary
hours during the past two weeks in
assembling material for the states
side of the case, when they are called
upon to disprove before federal
judge that present traffic conditions
amount to confscation of prop
erty"

Governor Refuses Sixteen Pardons.

Governor Pindall Saturday put his
gubernatorial foot down upon 16 ap-
plications for pardon in cases where
the defendants were convicted of VIC
lating the liquor laws of the state or
carrying concealed weapons.
In explaining his reasons for deny
ing the applications for these pardons,
the governor practically announced
that it would be useless to apply TO
him for executive clemency for of
lenses of this kind. He also declared
that it was his intention to enforce
the liquor laws of the state to the let
ter.
For young man who let fall from
his pocket pistol and was shot acct
dentally, he expressed his sympathy
but refused to grant him a pardon,
stating that he should have left his
pistol at home. In the list of appli-
cants for pardons were two women

WHAT THE TRADE MARK MEANS
TO THE BUYER

Few people realize the importance
Of the words Trade Mark" stamped
on the goods they buy If they did
it would save them many dollar
spent for worthless goods and put a
lot of INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers
out CT the business.
When a manufacturer adopts .
trade mark he assumes the entire re-
sponsibilty for the merit of his prod
uct. He takes his business repu-
ton in his hands-out in the lime
light-"on the square with the buy
er of his goods, with the dealer, and
with himself.
The other manufacturer-the one
who holds out inducements, offer
ing to brand all goods purchased with
each local dealers brand - sidesteps
responsibility, and when these infe-
rior goods come back" it's the local
dealer that must pay the penalty.
A good example of the kind of pro
lection afforded the public by a trade
mark is that offered in connection
with National Lead Company's adver-
Using of pure White Lead as the best
paint material.
That the Dutch Boy Painter trade
mark is an absolute guaranty of puri-
ty in White Lead is proved to the
most skeptcal by the offer National
Lead Company make to send free to
any address blow-pipe and instruc
lions how to test the white lead for
themselves. The testing outfit is be
ing sent out from the New York
office of the company, Woodbridge

On the Doctors.

Mrs. Mary G. Baker Eddy, who. Of
course, has no faith in medicine, told
a Western Christian Scientist, at one
of her latest audiences, an anecdote
about a friend of hers.
This friend, a thin and nervous
woman, could not sleep. She visited
her physician and the man said:
do you eat anything just before
going to bed?"
ooh, no, DOCTOR" the patient re-
piled.
We'll" said the physician, Just
keep a pitcher of milk and some bis
cult beside you, and every night, the
last thing you do, make light meal"
But DOCTOR" cried the lady, you
told me on no account to eat anything
before retiring"
Pooh, pooh," said the doctor, that
was three months ago. Science has
made enormous strides since then"

Whistliru in English Streets.

In England whistling is very COM
mon among all classes, and, indeed, it
is rare in London to see a butcher or
grocer boy on his daily errands
whose lips are not pursed up for the
purpose of emitting the whistling
notes of the comic song of the hour.
So prevalent is the habit that in
hotels, and even in clubs, requests are
posted up to refrain from whistling.

Over $1,000 in Fees Paid in BY Can
didateS.

Henry Green, bookkeeper in the
state treasurer's department, has
been figuring up the amount paid
into the state treasury by the various
state and district candidates. The
amount reached exactly $1,312.50.
Each county will get its prorata of
this on the state candidates, so cents
going to each county for each state
candidate The largest amount to
any county will be about $24, this in
Guiding the fees paid by some dis
trict officers.
Each state candidate is taxed $37.-
so as a filing fee. Each congressman
pays $40 for each county in his dis
trict, which amounts In some dis
tricts to considerably over 800. Each
prosecuting attorney, circuit clerk
and other district candidates are
taxed SO per county in their district.
United States senators pay no fee,
because they are not elected by the
people, but chosn by the Legislature.
Most of the fees, of course, are no.
paid into the state treasury, but into
the county treasury, as only candi-
dates for the more important offices
pay into the state direct.
