 nEPAR ARTMENT oF IusTICE


 The duties of the department of justice have been greatly increased by legislation of Congress enacted in the interest of the general welfare of the people and ex- tending it's activities into avenues plainly within it's constitutional jurisdiction, but which it has not been thought wise or necessary for the general government heretofore to occupy.
 am glad to say that under the sppro- Iriations made for the department, the Attorney General has so improved it's or ganization that a vast amount of litiga- tiOn of civil and criminal character has been disposed of during the current year. This will explain the necessity for slight ly increasing the estirp2tes for the ex- pe rses of the department His report shows the recoveries made, on behalf of the government. of duties fraudulenty withheld, public lands improperly patent ca fines and penalties for trespass, pros ecutiOns and convictions under the anti trust law, and prosecutions under the in- tcrstate commerce law. I invite special attention to the prosecutions under the federal law of the so-called bucket shops and of those schemes to defraud in which the use of the mail is an essen tia part of the fraudulent conspiracy prosecutions which have saved ignorant and weak members of the public and are slNing them hundreds of millions of dol lars. The violations of the antitrust law present perhaps the most important liti- gation before the department, and the lumber of cases filed shows the activity of the government in enforcing that statute.
 National Incorporation
 In special message last year l brought to the attention of Congress the propriety and wisdom of enacting gen. eral law providing for the incorporation of industrial and other companies en- gagged in interstate commerce, and l re- new my recommendation in that behalf
 Claims
 | invite the attention of Congress to the great number of claims which, at the in- stance of Congress. have been considered bv the court of claims and decided to be valid claims against the government. The dc;ay that occurs in the payment of the money due under the claims injures the reputation of the government as an honest debtor, and I earnestly recommend that those claims which come to Con- gress with the judgment and approval of the court of claims should be promptly paid.
 Judicial Procedure
 One great crying need in the United States Is cheapening the cost of litigation hy simplifying judicial procedure and eX- lediting final judgment. Under present conditions the poor man, is at woeful disadvantage in a legal contest with a corporation or rich opponent. The ne- ccssuy for the reform exists both In United States courts and in all state courts In order to bring it about, how ever it naturally falls to the general gov crnment by its example to furnish a model to all states.

HOWARD ALUMNI
 TO MEET TONIGHT
FOOTBALL SCHEDULE FOR 1911 WILL HE DISCUSSED AND MEET ING AT NORRIS HOTEL PROMISES TO BE LARGELY ATTENDED

A meeting of the alumni and friends of Howard college, interested in her athletic future, has been called for tonight at 50 o'clock at the Morris hotel. Matters of importance concerning the arrangement of football schedule for 1911 will come up. plan will also be put on foot to insure successful athletics at Howard The matter now rests entirely with the alumni. and they are showing their inter- est in the matter and are rallying nobly to the cause.
 The meeting tonight is expected to be largely attended. President Ed V. Smith of the Alumni Athletic association has sent out a call for the meeting, but all friends and alumni of Howard are cor diaily invited no matter whether they have received written invitation or not.
 Howard is able, due to the recognition she has received in the last two years by intercollegiate contests, to arrange a very advantageous football schedule for next year and can bring the leading institur tions of the south to this city.

Judicial Salaries

further recommend to Congress the passage of the bill now pending for tho increase in the salaries of the federal judges, by which the chief justice of the supreme court shall receive s17,5O0 and the associate justices a7,000; the circuit judges constituting the circuit court of appeals shall receive S10000, and the dis trict judges 5000. These judges exercise wide jurisdiction and their duties re- quire of them a profound knowledge of the law, great ability in the dispatch ot business and care and delicacy in the eX- 'ercise of their jurisdiction so as to avoid conflict whenever possible between the federal and the state courts. The posi- tions they occupy ought to be filled by men who have shown the greatest ability iA their professional work at the bar land 1t is the poorest economy possible for the government to pay salaries so tow for judicial service as not to be able to com mand the best talent of the legal profes- sion in every part of the country. The cost of living is such, especially in the large cities that even the salaries fixed in the proposed bill will enable the in cumbents to accumulate little, if any thing to support their families after their death Nothing is so important to the preservation of our country and it's be- loved institutions as the maintenance of the independence of the judiciary, and next to the life tenure an adequate salary is the most material contribution to the maintenance of independence on the part of our judges.

POsTOFFICE DEPARTMENT
 Postal Savings Banks

At its last session Congress made pro- vision for the establishment of savings banks by the postoffice department of this government, by which, under the general control of trustees consisting of the Post master General. the Secretary of the Treasury and the Attorney General, the system could be begun in few cities and towns, and enlarged to cover within It's operations as many cities and towns and as large a part of the country as seemed wise The initiation and establishment of Such a system has required great deal of study on the part of the experts in the postoffice and treasury departments. but a system has now been devised which is believed to be more economical and simpler in it's operation than any similar system abroad. Arrangements have been perfected so that savings banks will be opened In some cities and towns on Janu- ary i, and there will be a gradual eXten- sion of the benefits of the plan to the rest of the country.

LINDSAY BROTHERS
 HAVE SURRENDERED
Men Charged With Murder of Argen' ta Officer "Giye Up"-Have Fig
 ured in Several Scrapes.

Little Rock, Ark, Sept. 5.-Luther and Mitt Lindsay, charged with the murder of Officer Mcintyre in Ar genta Saturday night, surrendered to Sheriff B. l.. Roberts Sunday morn
 ing and are now in the county jail awaiting preliminary hearing. The
 coroner's jury held an inquest over
 the body of Mcintyre Sunday and. Held Luther Lindsay as the guilty
 person. He had surrendered to the
 officer some time previous to the
 meeting of ,4he jury. y Before the i fued is wiped out, something inter-
 esting is liable to develop. Less than a week ago, Ed Lindsay, brother
 of the two men under arrest and a deputy constable in Argenta involv-
 ed in street duel with another of- ficer of the town and received
 wounds in the leg. Saturday his bro- ther, Ernest Lindsay, was arrested on a charge of carrying concealed weapons. Saturday night the two younger b. others, Luther and Mitt
 Lindsay, took part in another street duel, with officers in Argenta, in which Off. CT Mcintyre lost his life. It is claimed by the brothers under
 arrest, tiat Mcintyre was shooting at them all the time and an Argenta
 officer across the street fired the
 shots which were fatal to McIntyre.
 The Lindsay's will be held without
 bail until after they have been given a preliminary hearing. Ernest Lindsay had nothing to do with the Saturday night shoot, but officers are watching him closely, and will not permit him to go on the streets of Argenta while armed.

BUSY NIGHT
 FOR THE POLICE
Eleven Arrests Made up to the Mid. night Hour, Some of Which are
 Believed to Be Prizes.

Last night was an unusually lively one for the police force, and up to 12 o'clock eleven warrants had been is sued and served. Among the lot are some who are believed to belong to the gang that has been burglarizing so many residences in this city, and for whose capture the entire police force has been working so earnestly and increasingly since the first bur- glary was reported.
 On Sunday night Officers John Rankin and Max Cook landed q negro who gave his name as Henry Hogan on a charge of burglary, and while it may be difficult to prove his iden- tity the officers are confident tha. they have the right man, as he an- swers, perfectly the description glV- en before he was captured. house was entered by a negro at 21l4 West Twelfth street by a negro of th5s description Sunday night, who turned the light out, but who was dlscoV- cred by the lady of the house in time to get a description of him. She was excited and screamed and the negro ran. The police station was noti- fled at once and officers hurried 10 the scene. A search was made and the negro was found and arrested. 1t %1o+ ha term on the county farm, and as there was not sufficient evidence to convict on this charge he was given fine of twenty-five dollars for va srancy, which he will work out on the streets.
 Yesterday City Detective Dave Glover arrested two negroes, Will and Steve Baker, who robbed caboose in the railroad yards and secured s1OO0 in cash and watch worth s95.oO. They also had on lot Of stolen clothes when arrested. Will Baker has just returned from the farm. where he had served a term for grand larceny. He will get back there in time to help pick the cotton crop this fall.
 Last night Patrolman Max Cook arrested Annanias Williams, negro at the power house, on a charge Of trespassing, and the officers believe he is the party that has been steal ing brass and other metal from the company. He will probably be giv- en employment for a few days, as the police are determined to put a stop to so much night work in this city. ...*.
 The remainder of the arrests up to midnight were drunks and disorder lies, and were divided between whites and blacks. s.s,~s
 The vigilance of the officers will not cease until the robberies stop.

EIGHTH ANNIVERSARY
Refreshments Were Served, TOasts Given, and Pledges Made That Will
 Make Associations Pleasant.

Never in the history of Pine Bluff Typographical Union, No. AT of this city has there been such a time of complete socialibility between all members of the union and their employers as on Sunday afternoon, when the eight anniversary was cele- 5rated by members of the union and when that body entertained their friends. The affair was given in the Odd Fellows hall, op West Barraque street.
 A short business meeting of the union was held, after which the feast and entertainment occurred. T. A. Wilson acted as toastmaster on this occasion. While delicacies were served and good fel- lowship livened up at every word, MT. Wilson in his original style called on every member of the union present for word.
