USED CHLORoFoRM
 IN BURCLARIES
H enry Taylor, the Barefoot ed Burglar of Little Rock
 l S Capt ure d.

Slowly the detectives of Little Rock are weaving a net about Henry Taylor. alias Henry Jack son. an old negro who is now do- ing time on the county farm, and they have sufficient evidence to place him in the penitentiary as the barefooted burglar, who used chloroform so profusely in Ar genta robberies. Taylor was arrested after he had sold some clothing and a watch taken from the store of J. V. Turner, in Ar genta, where the burglar cooked a meal and ate it, after robbing the house and store. He was sent to the county farm until other evidence could be worked against him. Yesterday after noon the detectives, Morgan and Wick, found where the old negro had cen disposing of clothing, and went to a row of negro houses, at Fifth and Spring, where they found three of the dresses, which had never been worn. Some articles were also found which were taken in other Argenta robberies, and Taylor will now be brought back to the county farm and turne ] over to the grand jury for investigation.

E The Railroads Enforce The Old Rates In
 The s t a t e.

Little Rock, Sept. 8. Day by a.y the shippers of the state are awakening to the true situation
 in the railroads rates. which they find is not so bad after Judge
 Van DeVanter took his fall out If the state, for the railroads are
 included in the unpleasant DOT finn as well. They see that if
 the railroads enforce the old
 rates, they must open their books for public inspection, which will
 oive them the half nelson"t "they
 have so long striven for. and in this manner get at the bottom of
 what are the real conditions of the railroads. The Railroad Commission, feeling stronger than ever before since the Van DeVanter decision, is playing the waiting game, giving the railroads the first move. The attorneys who represented the state at St. Paul. advise this, and if the railroads make the move they are expected to, go back to old rates, they will leave a gap through which the state can pass and eventually hold the upper hand

DIVORCE REFUSED
BUT IS GRANTED
Cross Complaint to Divorce
Complaint in Rost Case
Aids the Judge.
WIFE SECURES A DECREE.
ONE WOMAN DENIED DIVORCE AT
HEARING BEFORE JUDGE FOX
SATURDAY AFTERNOON AS
CHARGES WERE WEAK.

In the case of William VS.. Mary
Rost for divorce, the trial of which
was heard in the Wayne circuit court
yesterday afternoon, a divorce was re-
fused the plaintiff and granted the
defendant on a cross complaint. The
case was heard before Judge Fox.
The plaintiff was represented by
Squire Abbott and the defendant by
Ray Shiveley. This couple has been
involved in litigation for several
months. Complaints have been enter
ed and withdrawn. The plaintiff was
arrested at least twice upon the in
Stigation of his wife. The last time he
returned to the city, after promising
the judge of the city court he intend
ed to go to Ohio and remain away
from Richmond. He arrived home
late one Saturday night and entered
his wife's house through a window
He upset and broke quantity of the
furniture and overturned lamp. He
was intoxicated and the family was
forced to seek refuge clad only in
night clothes, at the telegraph tower
at West Fifth and the Panhandle rail-
road. In his complaint Rost alleged
cruel and inhuman treatment, but the
odds were against him and likewise
the evidence, so the court awarded
the decree to the wife. She was Civ
en- the custody of minor child also.
Woman is Denied.
Martha Jaconi was denied a divorce
from Francisco Jaconi. She alleged
habitual drunkenness and cruel and in
human treatment. She claimed Jaco-
nj formerly operated bar I(Om and
was accustomed to become intoxicated
and at such times she was afraid of
him. The court claimed there was
not sufficient evidence to prove ia
conf could be charged with being an
habitual drunkard, although he might
have become intoxicated infrequently.
known as "Frenchy," Jaconi is a
former power in the local Italian col
ony. A few years ago he was the
head of a gang of Italian laborers en-
gagged in railroad construction He
was not only their boss" while at
work. but when off duty also, and he
practically controlled their existence.

this phrase in which it did not mean
what it said?
1t is true. Mr.. Marshall said at
Peru Oct 26, that in his first speech
| he had declared himself in favor OF
bipartisan management, but this, In
the hands of spokesman, means the
corruptest sort of management. He
insists that a man under no obliga-
| tons will be free to appoint those who
are capable and honest and who will
be aiding their party. Thus the vic
tors would get the spoils which legi-
timately belong to them
At Laporte he said, Oct "a that he
has been making his fight on his
own money and would be free to first
serve the state and then his party
When he had thus served the state he
would think the victors had got the
spoils and were entitled to them
What do you really think of man
who, when driven into corner thus
emits these Delphic utterances?
Finally in a painful effort to rein
state himself, Mr.. Marshall says he has
mo intention of interfering with any
thing to put the business of the state
on business principles and to divorce
as much as possible the institutions
from politics" This is the way
Thomas Taggart used to talk when
mayor. They are now wholly di.
vorced, but If ''the victors are to have
the spoils," they can not be divorced
''as much as possible or divorced
at all.
In your better days you would not
have thought of supporting a man for
governor who advocated this principle
any more than you would have sup
ported Bryan for the presidency. You
once believed that that doctrine was
immoral, vicious and wicked, and you
ought at least to respect the opinions
of those who still believe it.

The appended communication is an
open letter addressed by Mr.. William
Dudley Foulke of Richmond to the In
dianapo1is News 1t speaks for itself:
To the Editor of the Indianapolis
News:
Dear Sir-It is now number of
years since I served with one of the
members OF your editorial staff upon
. special committee of the Indiana
Civil ServiZ, Reform association
which examined the condition of the
Central hospital for the insane at In
dianapolis. The act by which the hos
pital was operated was political, and
1t was managed under the spoils sys-
tenn.
Our investigation showed that dem
ocrats only received appointment;
that places were given mainly for po-
litical reasons; that Legislative influ-
ence was courted by giving patronage
20 democratic senators and We named
half score of such senators who had
relatives and friends thus appointed.
The traffic in place was reduced to a
system and became a public scandal.
The men appointed were unfit and
grossly incompetent. They were ac-
tive political workers and on the day
of the democratic convention the hos
pital was deserted by it's employees.
The men who furnished supplies were
prominent politicians of that party.
The result was careless and I'M
businesslike methods prevailed the en-
tire organization, as Well as favorit-
ism, corruption, inefficiency and con-
stantly recurring cases of neglect to-
ward the helpless inmates. Discharges
were made to make room for political
manipulators. More than four-fifths of
the employees were changed during
three years. Contracts were reeking
with corruption. Butter which could
be bought at 6 cents a pound was fur
nished at 25-then butterine was sub
stituted. A corrupt contractor got the
contracts at his own price, although
others were ready to furnish supplies

little lonely when I missed its daily
dlatrlbes. l am not conscious that any
of our regulations suffered from these
articles. The News today impreses
me in the same way 1t has better
literary standards, but even a more
perverted moral sense. and I shall be
glad to undergo some months or years
of your criticisms if l do what I con-
ceive to be my duty
AS to your reference to 'Ichabod"

l have always admired these poems
I think I must be impressed with them
more than you, because I notice that
last Saturday you quoted Daniel Web
ster as an authority with a reverence
you could hardly have paid, if you
really believed ''Ichabod." 1t is a ter
rible poem to any, one to whom it
really applies. I think it is applicable
now, but not to the person you intend,
for I feel that it does not lie in your
mouth to breathe the faintest criticism
of any one who utters in good faith
any thing he really believes. And
when you refer to a poem which begins
Just for a handful of silver he left us,

candidates. Indeed, l told the reporter
who took the interview that l expected
to vote against one or more in my

said what you claim, does it not look
as if your heroics

complain, and if not, would it not be
better applied to yourself than to me-

notorious immortality prevailed and
our report showed that the fault lay
in that abominable system by which
the welfare of the inmates was sub

immoral doctrine, "To the victors be-

Mr.. Marshall, democratic candidate
