BUCKET SHOPS ID @ pR. CRuN RESIGNS
KANSAS LEGISLATURE PASSES BILL MAKING IT FELONY TO
 OPERATE IN STATE
GOV. sTUBBS WILL sIGN THE MEASURE
The Bill is Practically Copy of the Missouri Law on the Same Subject And is Very Drastic-Penitentisr for the Employees as Well as the Proprietors.

Topeka, Kan. Mar. 3.-The bucket shops in Kansas City. Kan, and in several other cities of Kansas must make arrangements to move to other parts. If they don't move without further request it will become the duty of some attorney general and some county attorneys to see that they do move, or some operators and em- ployes will get a chance to serve d term in the Kansas penitentiary.
 The date fixed for the exodus of the bucket shop is about June l, when the statute book is published.
 The bucket shop bill making the operation of a bucket shop or being employed in one a felony, which WAS introduced by Frank Merrill, repre- sentative from Miami county, needs now only the signature of the gov ernor to become a law. It will be signed by the governor before Wedres- day night.
 The house was working on third reading of bills Tuesday morning, ard Mir. Merrill had the buckle: shop bill put into an omnibus with some her bills. The senate had made one or two slight amendments, and 1t was necessary for the house to concur in them.
 The bill, as passed, practically Is an exact copy of the Missouri law on the same subject. When the Missouri law was passed the bucket shops of tha. state moved out, those in Kansas City moving into Kansas City, Kan.
 The bill makes git felony, pInish- able by term in the penitentiary, fer anyone to operate 9ucxet shop in Kansas or to be even employed in one. An immunity is granted to wit nesses so that they will not be pun ished for any facts about which they may testify.
 Gov. Stubbs was told that the legis- lature had passed the bill He was asked if he would sign it. You bet. !" was his reply.
 The Missouri and Kansas Teiaphone company lobby has been fighting the bill. When it was passed one of the company's representatives said: That means loss of about S5,000 a year to us."

EMBARRASSING SITUATION RE. LEVIED BY CHARLESTON, 8. c.
 coLLEcToR's ACTION.
HIS RESIGNATION ENTIRELY VOLUNTARY
The Appointment Was Made by PresL dent Roosevelt and Has Always Been Strongly Opposed by Senator TiIman and Other Southern Demo crats in the Senate.

Charleston, s. C., Mar. 3.-With the resignation of Dr. William D. Crum as collector of customs at this port to take effect March A. a situation which threatened to cause President. elect Taft considerable embarrassment is avoided. No appointment made by Roosevelt has given rise to more dis cussion than that of Dr. Crum, whose appointment was vigorously opposed because of the fact that he is negro A long and hard fight against his con. firmation was made by Senator Till. man and others, when he was first named in 1903, and within the last few weeks following his re-appoint- ment, Senator Tillman conducted a successful filibuster against his con firmation.
 Dr. CEum says that no pressure has been brought to bear upon him now to cause him to resign, but that he does so in part because he wishes to save MT. Taft, for whom he entertains great respect from any possible em- barrassment as to his re-appointment and chiefly because he feels that he has been especially identified with President Roosevelt's administration and he wishes to retire with his chief. In his letter to President Roosevelt, after thanking the president for ap- pointing him for a second term and wishing him "god-speed and a long life," he says in part:
 Since assuming the duties of this position, I have striven diligently to justify the confidence imposed in me. During all the years. so far as know, not a single charge has been brought against my moral character, or a sin gle adverse criticism made in re- gard to the performance of my official duties. I wish to further add that these employed in this office under me, composed of both races, have been at all times courteous, kind and in terested, and we have all worked to- sether to make the office work sue cessful and satisfactory.
 During all these years I have been treated with kindness and courtesy by all these who have had official business with the office and have not had unpleasant contact with any one in the city"

SLAUGHTERED A
 DISEASED ANIMAL
Will Raff, a Southside Butcher, Killed Condemned Cow-Is Arrested Convicted, and Is Serving
 Sentence in Jail.

Will Raff, who operates butcher shop next door to l.. M. Wimberly's hardware store on south Mena street, was arrested yesterday on charge of attemp- ting to sell diseased meat, and was given a fine of S100 and costs and 30 days in the county jail by Squire Sam Smith.
 On last Saturday while a car load of cattle were being pre- pared for shipment out of this city. 1t is said that pr. H. G. Rolling sworlh, veterinary sur geou, wLo was inspecting the cattle in the capacity ot govern ment inspector, culled out one COW, saying it WAS suffering from a disease known as black leg. It was later learned by the city officials that this COW had been purchased by Mir. Raff at great fly reduced price. Nothing was done by the officials, however, but fearing that the COW would be slaughtered aud put on the market a close watch was kept.
 Yesterday afternoon while Deputy Marshal c. s. Tanker sley was coming from his home ia the eastern suburbs, he met Mir. RaH and a boy driviug the animal toward his slaughter pen, which is loated near the Cagle farm in the extreme eastern part of the city. MT. Tankersley notified the officers of what he had seen, and in company with Constable Alley Duncan went to the slaughter pen, where they found the COW already butLhered. It is said that Mir. Raff did not deny butcherlng the animal, and gave as his reason that he did not believe it to be affected with any disease.
 His arrest followed, with the above conviction and sentence, and he was placed in the county iail yesterday afternoon to begin serving his sentence.
 Owing to the prompt action of the authorities none of the meat was placed on ssls.
 It will be remembered that there are two meat markets in Mena conducted by Raffs--the one on the soutbside owned by Will Riff, who was arrested, and ,he other by c. G. Raff ia the Gardner brick on DeQneen street. The two markets are entirely different places of business, and have absolutely no business com nections.

SAY PRESIDENT HAD NO RIGHT.
The Steel Merger Conducted by Sen
 ate Committee Members.

Washington, Mar 3.-Seven mem bers of the senate committee on judi ciary signed the report declaring that President Roosevelt, without authority of law, sanctioned the absorption of the Tennessee Coal & Iron company by the United States Steel corporation and that the merger was in violation of the Sherman antitrust law. Two of majority of the committee, however, attached certain individual views which to degree minimize the effect of the declaration.
 Under an agreement reached in the committee on judiciary Monday any views submitted have the standing of individual opinions only. Chairman Clark reported Tuesday the disagree nent in the committee and soon after ward Senator Culberson presented the views of seven members of the com mittee. These were signed by Senator Nelson, Senator Kittredge and Senator Foraker (Republicans), and Culber- son, Bacon. Rayner and Overman,
 Democrats).

SCHROEDER IN COMMAND.
Admiral Sperry's Formal Application
 for Relief Granted.

Washington, Mar. 3.-Rear Admiral Charles s. Sperry made formal appli- cation Tuesday to be relieved from duty as commander-in-chief of the At lantic battleship fleet. Rear Admiral Seaton Schroeder has been appointed in his place.
 The strange thing about Rear Ad- miral Schroeder's appointment is the fact that his brother-in-law and life long friend and companion, Rear Ad. miral Richard Wainwright. had been slated for the place and it was prac. tically generally known that the son of the famous naval family was to have the honor. Wainwright prob. ably was the victim of an indiscretion many years ago which caused his re- duction in files so that Schroeder out ranked him not in title but in grade precedence. Part of this he regained by distinguished service in the Span ish-American war when he was pro noted ten grades.

Washington. Mar. S.--As a conces sion to it's so-called insurgents the house Mosday adopted a resolution nmending the rules so as to provide for call of committees on Wednes- day of each week, affording members an opportunity to get bills passed which otherwise might not have been possible. Some of the Republican re- dictionaries refused to see the case in that light. especially Messrs. Gardner (Mass) and Murdock (kan.), who de- clared that the rule would not bring about the desired result. Mir.

PROHIBITION BILL
 PASSES HOUSE
Gam Bill Goes Through Lower Branch of Legislature With Good Majority The Fight Goes up to the
 Senate Now.

Little Rock, Mar. 1.-After one of the most bitter fights in the history of the Arkansas Legisla- ture the lower branch of this law making body did it's full part in putting Arkansas in the list ol prohibition states.
 The anti-prohibition forces, all the time realizing that they were in the minority followed up their filirbustering in an effort to post pone action. All day Saturday the vote was held off and yester- day morning Martin of Yell, Dun away of Pulaski and Simpson oi Scott talked in favor oi the sub stitute bill which provides for the prohibition bill to be submitted to the people according to the Democratic platform in the last election.
 After this substitute bill was voted down and tabled the ques- ton recurred to the adoption of the Gam bill providing for the statutory prohibition.
 At 330 yesterday afternoon the Gam forces succeeded in bringing the question to a vote and the bill passed by vote of 53 to 27.
 The bill will now go the senate and a bitter fight will no doubt follow there.

HASKELL DEFEATED
w. R. HEARST'S REFRESHMENTS WINS SUIT FOR RECOVERY
 OF PAPERS.
COMPLETE VICTORY FOR HACRAYkOLDS
Attempt of okIahoma's Governor to Gain Possession of Private Papers of the Brooklyn Man Thwarted by De- cision of the State Supreme Court Papers Ordered Returned to Owner.

Guthrie, Ok, Mar; 3.--Scott Mac Reynolds of Brooklyn, N. Y, the personal representative of Wm. R. Monday gained a complete victory over Gov Charles N. Haskell in his suit to compel the governor b return to him certain papers seized at the instance of the governor.
 Judge Strang, who presided, hand ed down lengthy decision holding that the writ of search and seizure is. sued under an affidavit slglel by Gov Haskell alleging that Mac Raynolds had in his possession papers which he intended to publish, thereby A libeling the governor, was without sufficient fact to justify the action of the officers and ordered the papers and other property of MT. MacRaynolds be returned to him. In referring 10 the writ, Judge Strang said:
 Tt does rot rise to the dignity of a showing calculated to satisfy the court that crime is being committed by the defendant, such showing as the law requires before the security guaranteed by the constitution agairst search and seizure shall be disturbed, for while 1t states that the defendant has couspired, in conspiring, it also shows that the affiant does not know any specific or definite person whom he has conspired or is conspiring and this allegation is not followed by any alleged facts to support the allegation of conspiracy; neither does it present any facts as a foundation for what follows on information and belief that the defendant has in his possession any papers with the intent to publish the same or otherwise use them as the means of libeling affiant."
 Continuing the court held that the "writ itself is bad" Owing to an Agreement reached several weeks ago the papers of MT MacRaynolds will remain in the custody of the court un. til the attorneys for the governor have decided just what action will be taken to continue the case in the higher courts.
 MacRaynolds was not in court. hay ing been released on the personal guarantee of Judge Burford that he would be produced in court at any time demanded.
 It was for the purpose of securing alleged evidence which Hearst was stated to be preparing to use in de- fense of the s5O00O0 suit instituted by Gov. Haskell that the arrest of Mac Reynolds together with the writ of fearch and seizure was issued.
