INTERURBAN HOT
 SPRINGS TO TEXARKANA
w. L. Wood, Son.in.Law of Judge A. B. Grace, of This City, Plans New Line-In Chicago COnferring
 With Capitalists.

Texarkana, Ark, June POW l. Wood, Jr., manager of the Texarkana Gas & Electric Company, departed last night for Chicago to attend a conference of members of the Dawes syndicate, owners of the local pub lie utilities company. MT. Wood would not state the nature of the con- ference but said business of great i'm portance to Texarkana would be dis cussed.
 When questioned the manager of the TeXarkana Gas & Electric Con- pany expressed himself as being in favor of the interurban electric line between Texarkana and Hope, as hoped for by Judge Conway at the Boosters Club mass meeting Friday night. Mr. Wood went Judge Con- way one better and stated that an electric railway connecting this city with Hope and Hot Springs would be a paying proposition and would result in more profit for the owners than a short line between this city and Hope.
 With the great amount of boom ing being done for Arkansas lands, an interurban joining Texarkana and Hot Springs would be a great builder for this section of the country and would in my opinion, be paying piece of railroad property. While there is no immediate prospect for such line you can state that the Dawes syndicate would favor such an enterprise and would probably be willing to finance the proposition if it received the prop CT encouragement.
 MT. Wood stated that he will bring this matter up before the Dawes syn dicate and have an investigation made Of the possibilities of such an inter urban electric railway.

Judge Grace gave another of many exemplifications of his fairness as a Circuit Judge when he set aside the verdict of a Jefferson county jury last week that condemned a negro tC the penitentiary for two years for assault with intent to kill a white man. The proof showed that the white man had followed the negro to his home and opened fire on him and the negro attempted to protect him. self.-Dumas News

MESSAGE SENT TO s0L0Ns

Governor Haskell today sent TO the
legislature his fourteenth message IN
which he advocated legislation OF va
ried character and particularly
stressed The pernicious influence
which the liquor and gambling inter-
5ests exert upon local elections and
recommending prohibitory legislation
accompanied by heavy penalties Tor
violations. In concluding his mes
sage. Governor Haskell said that as
economy of time was desirable in the
proceedings of this legislature, un-
less members Of the house and SEN
ate considered other suggestions oil
sufficient importance TO warrant his
making them the subject OF a spe-
cial message, he would probably have
nothing further 10 lay before the ses-
sion.
The message is as follows.
AT the request OF members of your
honorable body and in part at the
recommendation OF the people oil our
state, | submit to you for your CON
sidera.ion lhe following propositions:
believe that most of them can be
incos poraied as features of bills that
are already pending before your non
orable body, and in your committees
and without consuming much time,
can be added to bills to which They
are germane. In an instance or two,
they will probably only require an
original bill.
Joint Bridges,
In vaiious localities where there
are expensive bridges TO be built
there are petitions requesting power
for local authorities TO join with
electric car lines, or oihes
bridge companies in the joint
construction and ownership OF
bridges which may be used for PUB
lie travel, as well as by the electric
car lines. and thereby affect an econ
omy to the public In the cost OF ere
ating bridges for the public use.

proper, tending to purify elections,
that corporations be excluded and

While this legislation has been Of the

part of city and other local elections,
we have overlooked practice of in
fuencing elections that is heinous in
its character and should be absolute

severely punished 1t is a common
practice for those engaged in the sale

JAPANESE GIVE SCARE
Pacific Coast Legislators are
Going Into Jingoism Most
Valorously

Washington, D. c., Feb. q. -
Without public reference being made
from the floor of the house, every one
knows that the insistent call for bat
ileships comes from the Pacific coast
congressman who fear for the de-
fenselessness OF our Western shores
against a possible Japanese invasion.
All least one hundred and twenty-five
thousand Japanese are already resi-
dents on the Pacific coast and at
least go per cent Of them are exsol-
diers Of the Japanese-Russian war.
California congressman point out
that these Japanese soldiers actually
outnumber the soldiers OF the United
States at the present time The
Hawaiian islands contain eighty thou
sand more Japanese.
Will few swift Japanese cruisers
il would be possible TO invade Cali
fo mia, Oregon and the state OF
Washington merely by bringing guns
from Japan to arm the japanese al
ready here.
The facility with which the Japa-
nese master a given situation Is
graphically Illustrated by a Southern
California congressman who states
that the japanese in Los Angeles
have established two daily newspa-
pers and three banks. A Japanese
map OF The city OF Los Angeles has
reeepsly been discovered, widely dis
sgsDihptfa among the 0rentals, with
the sfreei$ Of the city accurately laid
Iout and named IN Japanese charac

set of war maps Of the entire coast
