U. s. BRATTON MAY NOT BE APPOINTED Petition Sent to President Suggesting a Special
 Investigation.
LEADERS ARE SILENT
Certain Signers of Petition Are Known to Be Leading Busi.
 ness Men.

Little Rock Ark, Jan. 2S.-A peti- tion reciting that there are charges against Hon. U. s. Bratton, who was recently recommended to President Taft for the appointment of postmas- ter of this city, asking that before the President makes a nomination for the postmastership a special investi- gator be sent to Little Rock to go very thoroughly into the charges. has been forwarded to Washington.
 It is learned today that a number of business men signed the petition to the President, among them being two of the leading bankers of the city and one of the largest wholesale mer- chants of Little Rock.
 what these charges are the peti- slon for a special investigation does not show but it is understood that at least one of the signers of the peti- t1on attached his name to the paper upon the proposition that if there were grave charges against. Mir. Brat ton they should be investigated very carefully before the president sent his name to the senate for confirma- tion as postmaster of this city
 IA newspaper representative visited number of the Republican leaders Of the city who have been supposed to be opposed to the apointment of MT Bratton with the report that the petition has been sent to the presi- den. but invariably they declare thev know nothing of the petition. It was stated that one of the chief opponents of the appointment of Mir. Bratton was responsible for the petition, but this he denied this morning, declaring that he had heard that a petition was to be sent and that he had later heard 1t had been sent to the president, but he could not tell who had signed it or what the nature of the petition was.
 It is stated on apparently good au- thority that the petition contains the names of B leading business men of his city. a
 MT. BrattoH is not in the eli y to- day and could not be reached for a statement.
 Among the signers of the petition are Capt. Charles A. Pratt, president of the Exchange National Bank, and the Beal-Doyle Dry Goods Company.

WhITE-BLAIR TRAGEDY
 DEVELOPS SENSATION
Travelling Man Who Killed Young Drug Clerk at England. Arrested in This City on Murder
 Charge.

E. l." White, 3a years old, q travel ing man well known throughout Ark ansas, was arrested in this city Thursday night by Deputy Sheriff J. $. Il0lcOmbe and was returned to England, Ark. yesterday by Sheriff Y. M. Fletcher, of I.onole, to answer 1a murder charge. His wife and bro ther, Festus White, of Fucker. Ark, Will be arrested on a charge of com plieity in the killing. Sheriff Fletch- CT had a warrant for Mrs. Whites ar rest while here, but did not serve if until he reached home Mrs White, accompanied by her husband and three children arrived here early Thursday evening, a short time be- fore warrant was received by Sheriff Philpot from Lonoke, asking for Whites arrest. They came from Jonesbore, where they visited rela- tives for several days.
 The arrest of White is said to be
 
 ments, following the killing of Her bert Blair, a young drug clerk, whom White found in his home with Mrs. White on the night of January j.. White was in England that day, but supposedly left town on his trip. He returned to his home that evening un- eXpectedly and finding his bedroom door locked, fired through the door. The bullet struck Blair in the breast. White broke through the door and fired several more bullets into Blair's body. He surrendered, but was afterwards exonerated by the coroner's jury
 White was arrested on Main street here Thursday night, while on lis way to a rental office to secure q home, it being his intention to make Pine Bluff his home. His wife and children had been left at the Arling- ton Hotel, where White and his fam fly remained all night under guard. Sheriff Fletcher left the city with his prisoners Friday morning. Their household goods are stored in local warehouse
 Wealthy relatives of Herbert Blair, Who live at Paris, Ark, are said to be determined to prosecute White and his arrest and that of his brother and wife are reported to have been brought about by them It is claim ed that White, after leaving England on the night of the tragedy, went to Tucker, few miles away and re- turned to England overland, accom- panied by his brother, Festus White. Charges are made that Festus White guarded front door of Whites home while F.. l.. White entered from the rear. Mrs. White is a sister of Rev. Shaw, a well known Methodist minis ter, and was prominent in church and social circles at England. Her hus- band travels this territory for the Lit tie Rock branch of the Nelson Morris Company and also represents the Cunningham and Brockman commits sion house of that city.

The additional signer whose name is known could not be located today. There is considerable reticence among the business men regarding the sign ing of the petition. It is believed that many of those signing the paper did not intend to subscribe to the charge, but that accepting the fact that there are charges they suggest to the president the advisabilitv of looking into the case more thorough ly.
 Capt. F. ". Tucker, chairman of the State Central Republican Commit tee, was seen at noon today regarding the matter, at which time he declar ed that the charges against Mr. Brat ton in connection with his appearance in homestead cases before the Fed eral authorities while he was deputy United States attorney were present. ed to MT. Roosevelt by Capt Tucker himself with the statement that there was no merit in the charges Capt. Tucker stated that President Roose- welt then said that it was his opin- ion that there was no merit in the charges and suggested to Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte that the case be handled lightly.
 But the attorney general did not see it that way and refused to allow a reprimand to be administered to MT. Bratton and insisted upon the ac- tion which resulted in Mr. Bratton's leaving the office of assistant district attorney. There is no doubt in my mind and there was none in the mind of President Roosevelt that if there was any wrong in the action of MT. Bratton it was 9 technicality and not intentional.
 "I am at a loss to know who is at the bottom this petition. I had heard nothing of it until short time ago."

COMPROMISE MAY De ADOPTED
REGARDING PANAMA CANAL
EXPOSITION.
ONE FOR EACH CITY
ASPIRING TO HoNoas
Plan Generally Favored Of Allowing
Frisco 70 Hold First One, New Or
leans TO Hold One in 1918, and
Canals Completion to Be Celebrated
in Washington.
Especial Correspondence

Washington. Dec. 27.-When con-
gress reconvenes after the Christmas
holidays. it will have submitted to 1t a
compromise on Panama exposition
question which. it is hoped. will give
all three Of the ambitious exposition
| cities what each is looking for.
AS outlined today. at the White
House, the compromise allows San
| Francisco the official exposition COM
m~emorating the opening of the Pan
anna calal to the worlds commerce In
; 1915; it allows New Orleans to hold an
exposition in 1915 to commemorate the
completion of the lakes-to-the-gulf
deeper waterway plan and 1t allows
Washington to hold the jubilee and
carnival celebrating the canals COM
ple,ion.
| Every interest is expected to agree
to this except possibly New Orleans.
The southerners will continue to de-
mand the governments recognition OF
their fair, it is feared and will not be
lured from their present scheme by
the hope of support for a more remote
proposition.
Anxious For Solution.
At any rate, the compromise VIII De
offered as a settlement for the present
embarrassing situation. and there are
plenty of members Of congress-. II IS
said, who will jump at it as a solution
for the mix-up in which the house ana
senate have found themselves.
The compromise naturally will come
from the San Francisco delegation.
This is true it contemplates
about all that the Pacific coast people
are afr. 1t givees them official rec
ognition and the government exnlpl.
and it remove the possibility OF d
rival fair at New Orleans opening at
the same time.
AS for Washington, the White House
callers who discussed the situation, oe-
clared that the interests here "ouio
agree to the idea OF a celebration at the
national capital rather than undertake
to finance an exposition. Already there
is a strong sentiment in he commercial
bodies OF the city favorable to a two
or three weeks carnival with Official
ceremonies, ETC., at Washington.
A Costly Luxury.
It will cost a great deal OF money TO
promote an industrial exposition. San
Francisco claims to have already rails
ed $17, 600, 900; New Orleans has in
SlSIl nearly $lV.VVV,VVV dAA u
ton should seriously bid for the Panama
fair, this city would be expected to
raise at least $4,000. 900.
1t is very we'll understood here that
the government would not undertake to
nance an exposition in Washington
entirely ou. Of the federal treasury any
more than congress YOU agree to pay
all the expenses of an exposition at
San Francisco or New Orleans. This
would put the burden of financing its
exposition upon the business interests
OF Washington. if Washington should
get the award.
II any event the exposition issue will
come %squarely before congress after the
holidays and if New Orleans a not
be prevailed o to see the wisdom OF
the proposed compromise, the fight for
recognition will be a fight to a finish.
