MAYOR THREATENS TO RESIGN
Sharp Words at Special Meeting
 of City Council.
Eleven-1ncn Variation in Sidewalk Line Was the Subject of Rather
 Warm Discussion.

Whether or not C. C. Thomson and other property owners located on the south side of Caldwell street should be permitted to lay their sidewalk on a line said to vary about II inches from that estabr lished by the city engineer was the subject of rather warm meet ing of the city council last night, during the course of which Mayor A. J. Witt threatened to resign his office.
 A disagreement arose between the property owners affect and the city as to the line along which the sidewalk should be laid, and May or Witt called special meeting last night to consider the matter. Alderman w. w. Martin, who is chairman of the street committee, iron. m..whom, under city ordinance, a permit must be obtained by any one desiring to lay sidewalk, held that the walk should be laid along the line established by the city en- gineer. This, it is stated, would would require the removal of some fencing and was resisted by the property owners.
 After the matter had been dis cussed at last nights special meet ing, Capt. Martin moved that the owners be required to lay the walk along the engineers line. There was silence following the motion, no member volunteering to second 1t. Alderman Lee Schwarz then moved that the owners be per mitted to lay the walk on the line proposed by them, and on roll call every member voted aye with the exception of Capt. Martin.
 During the course of the meet ing, Capt. Martin, it is said, sharp ly criticised some of the city off, cers, and Mayor Witt, becoming exasperated over what he termed trivial question, said that he would resgn before ha would be harassed by such matters.

The above is portion of an ar ticle appealing in this morning S Gazette, which has caused a pro- found sensation in this city, for several years the home of MT. Ia Dor and the scene of his first activ- itives in the cause of prohibition.
 Dr. James A. Anderson, who is a member of the executive board to which MT. Tabor's resignation was rendered, stated this morning that, while he was familiar with the facts in the case, he regretted that it had been given publicity and preferred to make no state ment for publication. Whether the charges are true or untrue, ," said Dr. Anderson, the state of Arkansas land Conway especially owes a debt to MT. Tabor that can never be repaid. "
 Rev. Tabor was one of the lead CTS in the movement to abolish sa looms in Conway, when he was pastor of the local Methodist church about 20 years ago. Soon after the sale of whiskey was prohibited here, he started the work of secur- ing the location of Hendrix in this city and was recognized as the leader in this work.

REV. E. 4. TABOR RESIGNS
Anti-Saloon League Superintend-
 ent Out.
Unanswered Charges of Drinking Intoxicat ing Liquor Said to be Cause of
 Resignation.

On his refusal to either deny of affirm charges of drinking and carrying intoxicating liquor in his possession the resignation of Rev. Edward A. Tabor, state superin- tendent of the AntiSaloon League of Arkansas, it is claimed, was re quested by the executive board of that organization and accepted, to take effect immediately.
 The resignation of MT. Tabor was presented to the board at its last meeting. It was the outcome of several charges of drinking that had been made against him and which it is said he did not deny. It is stated that the charges are known to be true, and that MT. Tabor confessed to having taken whiskey at times, but that he always had explanations for his so doing. These explanations are said, however, not to have been satisfactory to the board, and for this reason his resignation was asked.
