BAILEY SAYS THE
 JUDGES ERRED

nIesrst News Special to the Graphic)
 Washington, April 27.-"I believe the supreme court is incOrruptible but do not believe it is infallible, said Senator Bailey today, declaring that it was his opinion that the tri- bunal erred in deciding the income tax unconstitutional. He admitted that the income like all other taxes was inquisitorial, but hated to believe that it would make a nation Of liars. Senator Scott defended the protective tariff and the blind senator. Gore. at tackled it.

quested that the old whistle he re- placed Now comes the opposition to it and the fight in the local courrs Will be watched with unusual inter- est.
 Manager E. C. Fowles. of the Pine Bluff Corporation, is "on the fence Ill the matter. He says that the cor poration would just as we'll discon- tinne the whistle as sound alarms. Ii is merely an accommodation to tho public that the whistle has been used at all.
 The legal controversy over the screech whistle recalls the Elks' con- vention. held at Dallas last year. and a similar whistle which was taken to that city by the delegation of Elks from Los Angeles, Cal The Ellxs nsed q screech or sliding whistle on the engine of their special train and when they arrived at Dallas the whis- tie was put to work It's unearthlv screams naturally attracted thousands Of people at Dallas and for three days the Los Angeles Elks worked it oy- ertime.' It is generally believed that the screech whistle is what won the 1909 convention for the California city.
 
 Chancellor Elliott will not hear the petition until the city directs City At torney W. E. Sorrells how to proceed. The council has passed resolution. requesting that the screech whistle be used instead of the chime whistle. If the residents of the western part of the city get an injunction against the Pine Bluff Corporation. prevent ing that company from blowing the whistle it will be interesting to see what action the city will take to have the whistle used. City Attorney Sor- rells will ill all probability appear in the chancery court for the city, al though the local government is not named as a co-defendant in the suit.

hpfll lt. i9U9.-IO the Editor bt The Graphic:
 My attention has been called to an article ill your paper of this date, lll- der the caption, Receiver Warner Is Removed" This article. taken ill con- nection with others appearing in your paper and also in the Pine Bluff Commercial, in connection with the receivership of the Bank of D1naaS, has conveyed to the public some er- roneous impressions, which I deen, proper to correct.
 The wrong impressions conveyed by the press are:
 First, that MT. Warner. who was appointed in vacation as receiver on petition of the officers of the bank 70 liqudate it's affairs. was not removed as such receiver at the recent hearing of the matter before Chancellor Wood. He was not an applicant for the posi- tion and his name was not propessd by any one. He made no request. nor i, did anyone for him, to be retained as such receiver. although his conduct of the affairs of the bank during the short time he was receiver was eaalin- entity satisfactory to the court.
 Second, the impression has been conveyed that Mir. Coulter has been attempting to hold the plantation as his personal and individual property and that it was necessary for the chancery court to make an order to prevent him from selling and con- veying it and depriving the bank and it's creditors from it's value This is erroneous and false. He has always held the plantation as the property of the bank. has never attempted to hold it otherwise and has been ready and willing at any and all times to make such disposition of it as the bank might deem best and proper. It was deeded to him in the first place at the request of the bank, in order that the bank might be mixed up as little as possible with real es- tate holdings
 Third, the impression has gone out that there has been great contest waged over the affairs of this unfor- tunate little bank, and that Mr. Coul- ter and the officers and directors of the bank have made great efforts in diyerting the assets and resources of the bank, and thereby deprivmg the depositors and other creditors of their just right. There is not at this time nor has there been, any controversy | whatever. As soon as the officers oi the bank found that they could no, conduct it's affairs longer without loss and further impairing it's capital l they closed it's doors on their own pe- ] tition and are endeavoring to have its affairs administered through the cour, equitably, honestly and economically
 Judge Wood on last Thursday morning made an order for the ap- pointment of receiver and the fu- ture conduct of the banks affairs by the receiver based upon a proposition made in open court by Mir. Coulter The proposition made by MT. Coulter (COntinued on Page FOur.)

 The Parker road will be built to l Pine Bluff from Monticello if $37,5OO is raised and the people of Pine Bluff give the company terminals and right of way.
