TAMMANY's OVERTHROW OBJECT

NEW YORK, Oct. Civilian K.
Hearst's entry into the contest for may
or of Greater New York attracted wide
spread attention today, and marked the
opening of what is expected to be a
stirring, hard fought campaign. Inc
main issue as defined by Mr.. Hearst Is
whether the control Of the city govern
ment by Tammany Hall is to be main
tanned or overthrown
The Civic alliance, under whose au-
spices Mr.. Hearst will run, began today
the circulation OF petitions for the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Hearst on an Independent
ticket. The acquisition of the required
number Of signatures will be an easy
task.
Can Accomplish Purpose,
Anti-Tammany men cay that even if
Justice William j. Gaynor, the Demo
cratic nominee is elected, they will ac.
complish the real practical defeat OF
Tammany if they put in office the noml'
nops on either the Republican or the
Civil alliance lists below the head of the
ticket.
\ Tammany mayor, they say, would
be nearly powcrlcss without control OF
the various boards operating the city
government.
At the same time, they point to Judge
GayuOr's recent refusal to accept respon-
sibiIity for the minor candidates on the
ticket with him, as evidence that if elect
cd without bis associates on the ticket
lie will refuse to stand as Il Tammany
mayor
For these reasons unusual attention is
being concentrated on the minor nomi-
ucps. There is little doubt that Mr..
Ilcarst's ticket will contain nearly all ii
not all of the candidates for the city
offices below that of mayor, already
nominated by the Republican fusion con

 CASE IS ARGUED

Morrilton, Sept. 16.-(Special) - Before Chancellor J. G. Wallace yes terday afternoon the application of s. D. Freeman for a receivership for the Freeman Lumber Company of Gleason was argued, and the court took the case under advisement until September 30, when decision will be rendered at Conway.
 R. w. Robins and George w. Clark of Conway, representing the plaintiff presented affdavits to show misman- agement on the part of the present management of the company, which Freeman claims has busted him from the company and misappropriated a large block of the capital stock which he owns. Congressman Chas. C. Reid and Judge w. l.. Moose represented the defendants, and, besides denying the facts alleged, urged that they were a Missouri corporation and therefore not subject to receivership proceedings in Arkansas.
 H. H. Beekman of Kansas City, the present head of the company, George Beekman of Louisiana and Harry Beekman of Gleason, were in attend auce at the hearing.

PENSION CHECKS
 ARE MAILED OUT

Little Rock, Sept. 16.-At last the Confederate pensions have been mail ed out to the county clerks over the state and will be ready for distribu- tion among the pensioners Monday The office of Auditor John R. lobe yesterday afternoon had the appear ance of a Chinese wedding. A candle was kept burning to melt the wax with which to seal the different pack ages, and all employees of the office stood about to see the work well done. about the size of a check, were done up in neat packages and sent out through the mail, without registra- tion, as there is so much red tape to gone through in getting the war rants cashed there is no danger of any but the proper parties ever cash ing them.
 When the last warrant was placed in the mail there was a general sigh oI IciSl ociit up lioiii CfSiy SihPioyC v in the auditors office, where the en- tire force had worked for weeks on the tedious work. The packages go- ing to the various counties varied with the number of warrants sent to the counties. Desha county received the smallest package, with Woodruff, Newton, Jefferson, Phillips, Perry and Monroe counties so little larger there was hardly any difference. The largest package went to White coun- ty, which mas the largest number of pensioners in the state. This by no means means that White county fur nished the largest number of volurf- teers in the Confederate army, but that the largest number now resides in that county.
 ADD Pension checks
 County Clerk J. H. Bailey today re- ceived a package containing 165 pen sion checks for Faulkner county Con- federate veterans and widows. He is mailing them out this afternoon to the pensioners.

WOULD CHANGE TENURE
 OF COMMISSIONERS

Little Rock, Sept. 16.-Commis- sioner R. P. Allen of the Arkansas Railroad Commission will ask the next legislature to make change in the law governing the election of members of the commission. Un- der the present law all three com missioners are elected at the same time and their terms expire at the same time. Should clean sweep be made at an election it would leave the state with an inexperienced board to handle the affairs of the state This would take months to get the commits sion working properly. He will ad- vocate the passage of an act which will have the term of but one com missioner expire every two years, making the terms four years, which would thus have two old members al ways on the board. This is the plan which is followed in other states, and it is probable there will be no. opposi- tion when it is placed before the leg islature at it's next meeting.

UNION COMMITTEE TO
 CONFER WITH GOVERNOR

Little Rock, Sept. 16.--The execu- tive board of the Farmers Union will meet tomorrow with Governor Don aghey, taking up the proposition of the appointment of the boards for the four agricultural schools of the state. The Farmers Union does not ask Governor Donaghey to appoint all Farmers Union men to these po- sitinos, nor does it intend to dictate to him who should be selected on the boards, but will meet with Governor Donaghey to urge a representation on the boards as the union is the one most closely allied to the schools and will be the one most benefited. Cover nor Donaghey has deferred the ap- pointment of the board until after the meeting could be held, and will make public the personnel of the various boards by the first of Octo- Der.

WINS WIFE WITH DECREE
R. H. Cannon Completes Work at Hendrix and Becomes Benedict.

That all things come to him who waits is exemplified in the case of Robert H. Cannon of Foreman, Ark, a popular young divinity student of Hendrix College for several sessions past. MT. Cannon was a senior last year, but, through an unfortunate blunder, it was discovered a few days before commencement that he lacked about four session hours work of the amount required for his degree. To Mr. Cannon this was a double disap pointment. He had successfully passed all his examinations and was confident that he had earned his diploma until the college records proved that he had not. And this was not all It was well known by his in- innate friends that Cannon had re- ceived the promise of a fair young lady of Camden that when he became bachelor of arts he might aspire, with her assistance, to become a bene dict.
 But Mir. Cannon, though disap- pointed, was not discouraged. He went straight to work and has been burning the midnight oil throughout the hot summer until yesterday when he forwarded his final eXami- nation papers to the college profes- SorS and was rewarded by a message that he had passed, and his diploma was on it's way to him. The rest of the story came in a letter to Presi dent Anderson this morning, in which Mir. Cannon stated that tonight he will be married to Miss Thornton of Camden. Several messages of con graduation have been forwarded to him by Mr. Cannon's Conway friends.

FEE FOR REGISTRATION
 OF MAIL IS INCREASED

Washington, D. C., Sept. 16.-rost- master General Hitchcock today signed an order increasing the fee for registration of mali from $ to 10 cents, to take effect November 1, l909 This action followed the rec ommendation of the comr.ittea now investigating the registry serJ;ce, and is in accord with the views of the registry experts recently in con ference on the subject at Washing ton.
 The order also increases the maxi mum indemnity paid to the owner of a lost or rifled registered letter from $25 to $50, thus doubling the depart ment's liability for valuable articles entrusted to it's registry branch
 The changes ordered constitute the first move toward making the pos tai service self-sustaining. The reg istry system is reported to be con- ducted at loss, and to make it pay it's way radical measures are neces- sary. Hence the committee investi- gating the subject has proposed some new features, which are now being considered by the postmaster gener- al. Those features include the es- tablishment of a parcel registration system, with a 5-cent fee, and a small indemnity, and a preferred class of registered matter of high value with increases in the fee and indemnity up to 20 cents and $100 the limit fixed by law.

SEEK 10 RETAIN
 UNION OFFICES

Although other Arkansas towns are making strong efforts to secure the location of the headquarters of the state Farmers Union, which have been situated at Conway for the past four years, it is believed that the offices will remain in this city. The executive committee will meet to- morrow in Little Rock, instead of Conway, as was previously an- nounced, and the location of the head quarters will be one of the import ant matters to be decided at that meeting.
 The Conway Board of Trade will present to the committee renewal of the proposition which was accepted last year, to furnish office rent, fuel, lights, etc., free of charge to the union. Secretary M. F. Dickinson is known to be personally in favor of remaining in Conway during his sec ond term, although he states he will have no voice in the selection of the headquarters. But, taking into con sideration the centrality of Conway, the expenses and inconvenience in connection with moving and the lib- erality of Conway's bonus, it is hard ly thought that any change of loca- tion will be made.

To begin with, 30 minutes were to
be devoted to a bath and dressing in
his rooms. This was something not so
unpleasant to contemplate. II was the

hours, the session around some green
covered table in a close room reeking
with the fumes of good tobacco and
hot with the fever of gambling. .
Abstractedly Maitland frowned,
tersely summing up: "Beastly!"-in
an undertone.
At this the green car wheeled alb
ruptly round a corner below Thirty
fourth street, slid half block or more
east, and came to a palpitating halt.
Maitland, looking up, recognized the
entrance to his apartments, and sighed
with relief for the brief respite from
boredom that was to be his. He rose,
negligently shaking off his buster,
and stepped down to the sidewalk.
Somebody in the car called a
warning after him, and turning for a
moment he stood at attention, an eye

clearly, though without raising his
voice. "Sherry's in an hour. Right
Now, behave yourselves"
Mind you show up on time!"
Never fear" returned Maitland over
his shoulder.

Dust,

In the dull hot dusk of a summers
day a green touring car, swinging out
of the East drive, pulled up smartly,
trembling, at the edge of the Fifty

dately, under the dispassionate but
watchful eye of a mounted member of
the traffic squad, lurched across the

of vehicles south bound on the avenue.

meath his mask, and by this / do not

was Daniel Maitland, Esquire; for
whom no further introduction should
be required, after mention of the fact
that he was, and remains. the identical
gentleman of means and position in
the social and financial worlds, whose
somewhat sober but sincere and whole
hearted participation in the widest OF
