Chicago, April 1.-Dr. Ben l.. Reit- man, organizer and leader Of the re- cent parade of the unemployed through Chicago streets, who has turned his attention from the exploit ation of hobos to securing a place for Emma Goldman to speak, got into trouble yesterday with his old friends of the hobo brotherhood.
 At a meeting of bona tide represen- tatives of the great hobo army Dr Reitman was read out of the hobo party. Assistant Chief of Police Schuettler, who has been watching the movements of Dr. Reitman and other anarchist sympathizers, were notified officially that resolutions had been adopted at the meeting, which

NO CELEBRATION
 FOR GOV. DONAGHEY

Little Rock will not see George w. Donaghey, the Democratic nominee for Governor, again until April 15, when he will return to that city and deliver the principal address at the formal opening of the new city hall. He was invited to be the noted speak CT for this occasion yesterday after noon and promptly accepted.
 Late yesterday afternoon MT. Dona- &hey broke up his headquarters in Little Rock and moved back to Con way, where his stenogrpahers will be kept busy until they have answered all of the accumulated correspondence and then all hands will go fishing. MT. Donaghey spent the day yester- day in his office and met friends from the time he came into the city until late in the afternoon, when he re- turned to his home. He would have nothing to say concerning Jeff Davis, or as to whom he would appoint as his private secretary, saying that he had made no promises of appoint ments before the election and would have to study the entire matter out now
 There was a meeting of Dongahey supporters at noon, held for the pur- pose of arranging a celebration in his honor, but he nipped this in the bud and the meeting adjourned-a failure.

 Whereas, Dr. Reitman has now deserted us and is hitting the road openly with Emma Goldman, the an- archist queen; therefore, be it

M UTE EVIDENCE IN
 DAMAGE SUITS
Damage Suits Against the Cotton Belt by East End Residents tt~ tracing No Little ttten!ion-Ner- diet Looked For Today.

A master mechanics front, which is the common name for the fore part of a mammoth steam engine, was talk ell into the Jefferson circuit court room at the court house yesterday and used as mute evidence in the five damage suits of various East End residents and losers ill the eventful cOnflagratiOn which visited that sec ton of the city February E, 1901. and attracted no little attention there The big iron model was weighty and it required the services of several men to lift it into a wagon and carry it up and down the stariWays at the court house.
 The attorneys for the Cotton Belt railroad, against which corporation the damage suits, with forty nine others. were brought, had the model taken into the court to demonstrate to the jury the many safety appli ances and the greaN precaution used by the railroads to prevent hot cin- ders from escaping from the smoke stack of the engine, thereby averting fires.
 Much expert testimony was heard during the day. At noon the defense rested and rebuttal testimony was heard until o'clock when the in structions were furnished the jury. The case will be argued this morning and a verdict will probably result be- fore night.
 The plaintiffs in the five damage suits, which will serve as test cases for all the others pending and in which total of s95,oo0 damages is asked by the defendant residents of the East End and the various insur- ance companies which paid their lossesf are: F. E. Brooks, M. M Bruce. the Bluff City Lumber Conlpa- ny. !. NJ. Anderson and A. J. Abel. The suits are attracting no little at tention and many spectators have been ill the court room since the hear ing was begun Tuesday.

Little Rock, Ark, April Cash or work twenty-five days on the street, was the ultimatum handed to Judge F. M. Fulk, attorney for Senator Jeff Davis this morning, after Senator Davis had been fined $25 for disturb ing the peace and had given notice Of an appeal to the circuit court.
 Senator Davis sent the attorney back later to inform the court that he had decided to take no appeal. as The street car boys are going to chip in and pay my fine,' was the mes sage he sent. Judge Full1 could not tell what street car employees were going to pay the fine, the message be- ing all the information he could give on the subject.
 The police court room this morning was crowded to the doors with the curious who had been attracted there to witness the first chapter of the Helm-DaVls altercation aftermath. Senator Davis was to be tried for dis furbing the peace and for carving a pistol.
 On ore side of the police court chamber, on a long bench reserved for patrolmen, sat Senator Davis. flanked on one side by several large police men and on the other sat Private Secretary Stewart, with a number of policemen sitting at his side Senator Davis puffed away on the usual fat cigar. He was dressed ill the usual butternut suit of loose fitting clothing. carried another of his numerous gold headed canes. A patch of yellowed gauge on his right temple was all that showed for the difficulty with Helm yesterday noon
 Opposite to Senator Davis, on the other side of the room, and on a sim liar bench, sat De F.. Bradshaw, law partner of T. +. Helm and Lewis Rhoton, but Helm was not in the court room, although it is customary for Mir. Helm to attend police court in the interest of the prosecuting attor- ney.
 Hon. Jeff Davis, called Chief McMahOn, after he had called several minor cases, and they had been dis posed of. The chief placed much ac- cent on the Honorable, and looked up with a twinkle in his eye as the Senator arose, accompanied by r. M Fulk his attorney.
 What is the charger asked Judge Fulk.

 'Is it city or State case?" de- handed the attorney.

From the window of the car, in which she was seated, she recognized the face of the man lying on the ground surrounded by large crowd. She jumped from the car and rushed to his side. When he regained consciousness, his mothers face was the first thing that met his gaze. Believing her to be in Phil adelphia, he could not account for her presence. In his dazed condition the doctors who responded with the ambulance from the New York hos pital thought it best not to tell him of the phisic phenomena which had brought her to his side.

The BANK OF PINE BLG1
ANOTHER INTER-
 URBAN MOVE
Company Said to Have Been Organ. ized by Arkansas People to Build a Line From Little Rock to Pine Bluff on the South Side of the River.

Pine Bluff may yet have an inter urban line, connecting it with Little Rock and other points throughout this section. It was announced yes terday that a company had been char tered by the secretary of state which from Little Rock to this city, to run on the south side of the Arkansas river
 According to W. F. Campbell, who was in the city yesterday, the compa- ny will be known as the Pine Bluff Little Rock Transit Company. The company has already been incorpor- ated, he says, With a capital stock of $50,ooo. MT. Campbell is president; B. F, Foreman of TexaHkana, vicet, president; Mrs. S. A. GibA Ion of Red ~ field, Ark, secretary-treasurer; J. A.N Woodson, Little Rock; C. w. Turner, Casey, Ill.,, and J. w. Corber, direc- tors.
 MT. Campbell says the papers were filed by the company at Little Rock several months ago, but that no an nouncement was made of it because it was the intention of the company to first secure the right of way Seven miles of the right of way has been secured, he says, and as soon as tle, other right of way is secured, actDs work will begin on the road In Lit 5 tie Rock last night it was stated that as far as was known no charter had been issued to the transit company by the secretary of state, although there was possibility, it was said, of it having been kept secret for reasons.
 J. J. Fisk of Chicago. organized a company some months ago af>Aittle Rock that proposed to build an e1ec->, tric line to Pine Bluff from the cap- ital. This line was to have been built along the north side of the river. Fisk proved to be an irresponsible person and the project fell through.
 Pine Bluffians say that line along the south side of the river is far more practicable.

read a manuscript that he finds to be no

the writer by sending 1t back in minute.
No, he says to himself. Wen hold this a
few days and then send it back; and how
that unfailing regularity in manner Of re-
turn comes in 1 figure out in my mind to
be something like this:
"On his desk the publisher has a series
of gigantic ~pigeonholes, numbered 1 to 81,
for the days of the month. And when in
pursuance to his kindly plan he has read
something that he doesn't want he puts it
in the pigeonhole whose number is five
days ahead, and the office hoy does
the rest. Every day the office boy
comes along and cleans out the box bear
ing the number of that date and dumps
the mail he finds in it in the postoffice.

ten days or a week, though not in any

this really does ruffle me a little.

he doesn't hurl 1t back at me that moment
