Little Rock, Ark, Dec. 2.-It is stated that the friends of w. Y. Ellis, who was convicted in the Pulaski Circuit Court about a year ago for the killing of N. P. Willis will soon make an effort to get some relief for MT. Ellis from Imprisonment. It will be remembered that the testi- mony at the trial showed that Ellis had frail constitution, and was suf- fering from tuberculosis The ex- posture to which Ellis has been sub jected since his conviction and parti- cularly the dust arising from the rock crusher, upon which he has been at work a large part of the time, has aggravated his tubercular troubles to such an extent that h's friends say they fear for his life, unless some re- lief is soon obtained for him.
 It is believed an effort will be made during the week either for a parole or pardon for him.

 Washington, D. O., Dec. 2.-With the message completed the door of the White House office were flung morning the President saw Senators and Representatives as fast as they could be disposed of Among the callers were Senator Root and Soma tor Carter, Senator Burkett, Senator Cullom and Senator Nelson. Carter and Burkett are among those who fell by the wayside in the recent cleo tion; flame ducks" is the term appli- ed to such.
 Most of the day callers talked Su- preme Court appointments to the President, who has caused it to be known that his mind is entirely free from prejudice and that he will con- slider the claims of all those names who are presented to him for judicial preferment. MT. Taft, in fact, is in- viting suggestions from all quarters There is a growing impression that F. w Lehman, of St. Louis, will either be appointed to the Commerce Court Or be named to succeed the late Lloyd Bowers as solicitor gen. eral.
 It is known that the President E not so skeptical as some of the re- turning statesmen about his ability to get some legislation from the shori session of Congress. The President is saying little, but he has conserva. 1 tion, ship subsidy, injunction and Panama Canal legislation, which he is apt to press upon Congress with dog ged determination between next Mon- day and March 4, 1911. v
 There is little likelihood of any more monetary legislation at this session. The Monetary Commission is to conduct hearings during the short session and visit various cities after adjournment. A campaign of education has been mapped out to compel action by the sixty-second Congress

POODLE DOPE
 COMING OUT Investigating Committee in New York Makes Start
 ling Discoveries UNEARTHS EVIDENCE That Implicated Millionaire in Race Track Lobbying Scandal
 at Albany.
UNEARTHS EVIDENCE:
International News Special


 New York, Dec. 2.-Leads to amaz- ing revelations concerning the bood- ling operations of the race track lob by at Albany were open today by the joint legislative investig gating commit tee. Based upon estimates made by members of the committee and its counsel it seems likely that before the inquiry is closed it will be shown that more than million dollars was raised by the race track interests in 1908 to defeat the Agnew-Hart Law.
 The books of the Jockey Club, brought to the hearing by Frank J. Sturgis, banker and secretary-treas- urer of the Club, shows that in 1907 over s4O,O00 was paid on the authority of August Belmont, as chairman Of the Club, as legal fees' to defeat the Cassidy Bill, which sought to increase the tax on the gross receipts of rac- ing associat ons. All this money went to B. P. Coyne, as legal fees.N Coyne was retained by the racing in terests the next year to beat the Hughes anti-gambling bill.
 According to Mr Sturgis, Coyne l was employed ill that capacity on the recommendations of James w. Wads- worth Jr., at that time speaker of the Assembly.
 The millionaire corruption fund seems to have come from two sources, the eight racing associations and the bookmakers, organized into close gambling combine, under the name of the Metropolitan Turf Association. Assistant District Attorney Elder, of Brooklyn, already has testified that former State Senator Frank Gardner, who was employed as lobbyist by the racing interests, told him that at meeting at Delmonicos at the op- ening of the fight on the anti-race track bills, a fund of half million dollars was subscribed by James k. Keene, Harry Payne Whitney and Schuyler Parson, Charles H. Hyde and other wealthy horsemen, and was sent to Albany to be disbursed by Hyde and James D Gafney. August Belmont when in the witness char last Tuesday announced this asser- ton as ridiculous" and declared the meeting mythical
 The star witnesses of today were Frank P. Sturgis and Al Dainger- field. The latter is assistant secre- tary of the Jockey Club under MT. Sturgis. In his testimony the bank er-sportsman contradicted several as sertions that had been made with such pronounced vigor and indignat- ion by August Belmont on Tuesday. He declared that MT. Belmont alone was responsible for the employment of D. P. Coyne, as the Clubs repre- sentative at Albany n1907, and that upon MT. Belmont authority vast sums of money had been paid by the Jockey Club as the agent of the combined racing interests for work at Albany. Sturgis explained he was secretary only in name and that all the work of the office was done by Daingerfield. The books Of the Jockey Club showed that three amounts were kept in relation to racing interests at Albany.

woman is said to have been intimate with Ethrdge and knew of his many movements, after the killing of Mo Way. It was her, the Raglands say, who sent them money to leave Pine Bluff after Mcvay's murder, and enabled them to return to their for mer home at Wilmar, Ark.
 Prosecuting Attorney T. Hav!s Nix on spent a greater part of yesterday gathering additional evidence and ad- ding it to his long list of circumstan- tial allegations. Some important revelations were made during the day by the district attorney in the case, which prompted Mr. Nixon to make the statement that he had never be- fore been so thoroughly convnced of a mans guilt nor would the state have any trouble in proving the charge against the prisoner.
 Mir. Nixon spent much time with Sheriff Brewster in work on the case, previous to the arrest of Eth ridge. The confession of Ragland, which was received here about ten days ago, was corroborated in almost, every instance by an investigation, says the district attorney, as they wanted to be absolutely certain Of what they were about before going to Fall Back for Ethridge. All these developments will be aired at the time of the trial, as i+ is expected that Senator Toney, who will handle the case for Ethridge, will merely permit his client to waive an examination ln the magistrates court and let the grand jury investigate and report on it's findings Senator Toney declares that he already has much evidence that will prove as bomb to the states attorney It is believed that Senator Toney will rely entirely up- on an alibi to clear his client.
 Although no official announcement has been made of the intention or counsel for Ethr:dge, it is reported and authoritively too, that Attorney ]. c. Knox, of Monticello, has been employed to aid Senator Toney in the defense. and that he will arrive he"e today to consult with him regarding the case.
 Ethridge Rests Easier. Ethridge was in better spirits yes terday in his cell at the Jefferson county jail He said that he had been provided with clean blankets and good bedding by Jailer Holland, who also spent most of the day yes- terday replacing the old bedding in all the cells with new and warmer blankets.
 Senator Toney sent a big dinner to Ethridge from local cafe and he en- joyed the meal immensely. He did not display the nervousness yester- day that characterized his actions on the afternoon when he was taken to the jail. He says he suffered from a slight headache during the day, due to the close confinement.
 Ethridge's brother and his brother in-law, R. D. Wells, of Monticello, will probably reach here today from Drew county They have been ac- tive since his arrest in preparing for his defense. His business at Fall Back was left in charge of friend, who is interested with him in the lit tie country store. He says he will probably send one of his brothers there to care for the business until he can get out of his recent trouble.

 Green Looked For.
 Deputy Sheriff Clint c Green, who was sent to Edna, Texas, several days ago for Johnson Ragland, known familiarly as Doc Ragland, whose written confession resulted in the ar. rest of Ethridge, and who declares l that Ethridge shot and killed McVay l with his shotgun, will probably arrive 1 in Pine Bluff with his prisoner to-
 day or at midnight tonight. Nothing
 has been heard from Green since his
 departure. He had to ride more
 than 600 miles into Texas, as Edna is
 in the extreme southern part of that state.

A Good SUGGESTION,

The Fairn.ont Times sugees this
is mighty good Time Of year to sit
down quietly and examine your tax
receipts. There ia an election coming
this fall, you know, and there will be
some running who told you in 1904
that the way to reduce your taxes was
to vote for men who would see to if
that the new tax laws were enacted.
They were enacted all right, and most
of the taxpayers ia West Virgioia had
their taxes doubled and some trebled.
If all those who have had their taxes
raised under the new laws vote again st
The party that by false representation
raised them, there will scarcely be a
county in the state carried by the Re
publicans at the next election.
