E. Allison were charged with exhib- iling gambling devices. The four men were arrested at the Southern Club when a cousta ble, who does not live Tn Hot Springs, led party of reformers in raid on the place for the purpose of cou6sca ting whatever was found of gaming parsphernalia.

poIice Hosxed by Clever Thief

The police of Essen, Germany, are searching anxiously for man who has hoaxed them in most fragrant manner. Going with hand-cart to the central police offices. where about fifty special officers are engaged, the man said he had been sent by the electric supply company to remove the bulbs. and that they would be ex- changed for new ones before dusk. lie was allowed to take nearly 200 bulbs, and several of the officers ac- tually helped him to remove them. When darkness arrived and the new bulbs were not forthcoming the police rang up the electric light company to remind them of the omission. The reply was startling and left the police very much in the dark" The com. pany declared they had sent nobody for the bulbs, and knew nothing of the matter. in fact. only fortnight ggo they exchanged the old bulbs for new and more expensive ones. Then 1t dawned upon the police that they had allowed, and even assisted bold thief to make a rich haul from under their very noses. Nothing has since been heard of the thief. and just now it is dangerous to speak about electric bulbs ir the hearing of an Essen DO liceman.

 Hours Late.

About seven hundred and fifty feet of long trestle just south of Ogden, on the Kansas City South ern railway, was destroyed yes terday morning by fire, and as 8 result all trains from the south are running from three to four hours late.

ASKS COMMITTEE
 TO CHANGE STAND
Anti-Saloon League Adopts Resolution Denouncing Action of Democratic Organization Regarding
 Primaries.

Little K ok, Jan. 27.-Follow- ing some heated discussion as to the proper stand to be taken by prohioitionists, the delegates to the first national convention of the Arkansas A1ti-S Q o u League. which ended yesterday, finally decided to follow a sort of ''free lance" policy and support those candidates who most nearly represent their views. Besides adopting this policy, the leaguers condemned the Democratic State Central Committee and adopted resolutions calling upon that com mittee to reconsider It's action in interfering with senatorial dis trict primaries.
 Discussion of politics consumed the greater part of the morning session and the stream cf heated remarks aimed at the Central Committee was not turned aside until Chairman George Thorn burgh reminded the delegates that there was lady in the house. She was Mrs. Minute U. Ruther- ford of the w. c T. U., and she gave talk which proved her to be as we'll informed on things po- litical as many professed poli- ticians.
 The action of the State Central C Dmmittee, which aroused the ire of the snti-saloonists, was taken last Saturday, when a member of the committee presented resolu- tion to the effect that the old GUS toms governing the selt ction of senatorial candidates should be followed in the coming primaries. The "old customs" referred to ap- piled to the selection of nominees in certain senatorial districts, where a plan of attenuation be- tween counties was alleged to have been followed for years.
 Denounce Action of Committee.
 This custom, the prohibitionists declared, is followed in the inter- ests of favored few, and is con- trary to the will of a majority of voters. The resolution to ask the Central Committee to reconsider it's action contained few para graphs of scathing denunciation, in which the action of the com mittee was designated as "unfair, unwarranted, unscru pulous and unprincipled.' While the con- vention discussed matters in the auditorium of the Y. M. c. A building, the committee on resolu- tions framed this document. It was passed with enthusiasm. Some of the members were vastly puzzled as to what to do iu some senatorial districts where the candidates have already been selected. Ia some of these dis. tricts, 1t was pointed out, the candidates are not very enthusi. astically supporting the prohibi. tion movement.
