THREE NEGRO WOMEN
 RELEASED FROM JAIL

Ida Ray, Pearly Bruce and Sallie Hightower, negro women, who have been in the county jail for several
 days pending investigation into a robbery alleged to have been com- mitted in the Ray woman's house last Tuesday night, were released from jail yesterday by Magistrate L.. E. Cheek, but John Woody "a negro man, arrested with them, was bound over to the grand jury on grand larceny charge. There was no con- victing evidence against the women, but a torn ten dollar bill and some merchandise which Woody purchased with some of the $40 that had been stolen from H. M. Rice, white man, prompted the magistrate to hold Woody. Rice, who was drunk and induced to accompany the negroes home, lost $40. He said a ten dollar bill was jerdked from his hand and torn. but he kept part of it and the other piece was taken from Woody after his arrest. Woody implicat- ed the negro women and said they gave him the money after stealing it. The officers recovered $2n17 of the stolen money from Woody.

BAIL HEARING
 FOR ACCUSED Murray and Rutherford, of Hot Springs, Make Ap- plication For Bond in
 Supreme Court. DISCLOSURES MADE:
DISCLOSURES M.
Was Natural That Oscar ChitwOOd Murdered Man, Should Plead
 to HOupt For His Life.

Little Rock, Ark, March 6.-For over two hours Monday afternoon, Col. George w. Murphy and Attorney Sawyer, of Hot Springs, representing the appellant, and Judge J. B. Wood prosecuting attorney from Garland county, with Assistant Attorney Gen. eral Rector, for the State, argued the petition of Ben Murray and John Rutherford, Hot Springs deputy sher- ifs, who are held on charge of mur- der in the first degree for the killing of Oscar Chitwood, who desire to be liberated on bail. Col. Murphy for the first time offered reason for Murray, who was chief deputy sheriff under Sid Houpt at the time of the murder of the prisoner, chief deputy sheriff under Sid Houpt at the time took place in Hot Springs early on the morning of December 26, 1910, being out on the morning of the murder about the time it was committed. He informed the court that Murray was looking for a fugitive in South Hot Springs during the holidays. When Judge ,Wlood made rejoinder, he ar- gued that Murray was in the office of the sheriff at the time of the kill ing, relying on telephone message he sent to his wife at that time, and held that he was in a conspiracy with Rutherford in the killing, and that both were guilty of murder in the first degree, and therefore bail was not permissible. He pleaded with the court not to permit bail and thus weaken the case of the state when the time for trial comes. Attorney Saw, yer insisted that the evidence against the men was weak and the crime was not a first degree murder. He in- sisted that the men would not leave if granted bail, and would be on hand for the trial Judge Wood intimat. ed that Reb Houpt might have been connected with the crime, but stated emphatically he believed Sheriff Sid Houpt was out of town at that time Col Murphy stated that the prison CTS who testified that Chitwood ad- dressed MT. Houpt when taken from the jail and pleaded for his life, were probably testifying truly, and yet there could be no Houpt implicated for it would be natural for Chitwood to suppose that one of the masked men was Houpt, and that would na- turally be the first name for him to call. A decision will be given next Monday.

TRANSIT GO. BILL

Was Ordered RemOyed-Anti.StOcE Law to Be IntrOduced-New
 Sewer District Created.

The City Council last night held it's regular monthly meeting and among other things allowed the monthly bill of the Citizens Light and Transit Company for $627 which it threatened to disallow unless the company com- piled with the order Of the Council to place street lights on various cor ners throughout the city It was an- nounced that the company had gotten busy since the last meeting of that body and had placed all but ten lights and these will be placed immediate ly.
 The Public Works Committee re- commended that the city take no &C., tion on the petitions presented to it lszf the opening of East Fifth avenue and East Eighth avenue. The city would be compelled to purchase 8 strip of ground on East Fifth avenue to open that thoroughfare and the Committee did not approve the idea.
 The Council ordered the Main rink removed within thirty days, after hearing a petition from the Dropety owners of South Main street, asking that the nuisance be abated. An or dimance, declaring all partially burn ed buildings a nuisance and ordering their removal within thirty Jays af- ter notice, was referred back t. the O dinance Committee, for correction. It was. effectively drawn,
 w. R Sorrels, city attorney, sent a communication to the Council, stating that T. M Hooker and N. J. Can't had drawn bill providing fer the impounding of resident cattle and stock and providing against non resi- dent stock running at large. Tle bill is now in the hands of Representa- tive w. B. Pinney and wilt be intror duced in the House shortly. 1t is planned to avoid any further trouble with stock running at large n the city if the bill becomes law.
 The Council denied John Bezzs pe- tition for permission to erect an iron clad building on East Fourth avenue' adjoining the Masonic Temple build ing.
 An ordinance, creating Sewer Dls- trict No. 13, including the territory between Seventh and Tenth avenues and Laurel and Beech streets, was petittoned for by property owners III the Southwestern part Q the city and adopted.

NO RECEIVER
 FOR PLANTATION Suit Brought Against w. l.. Goodwin Thrown Out of
 Federal Court. TRIEBER ACTS QUICK Missouri Man Files Suit On Notes As-
 signed to Him By
 Another.
FREEZER ACTS QUICK

Little Rock, Ark, March 6.-In the Federal Court here this afternoon Judge Jacob Trieber dismissed the suit of G. B. Greer, a nonresident o1 Arkansas, who filed suit in the Federal court against Walter l.. Good win, of Plum Bayou, Jefferson coun. ty, seeking to collect notes given C. B. Greer, of Searcy, Ark, aggregat- ing $60,000. The suit was dismissed at the instance of Attorney w. F Coleman of the firm of Coleman and Can't, of Pine Bluff, who appeared for Goodwin and pleaded to the juris. diction of the court.
 The suit was brought only a few days ago by Attorneys Bradshaw Rhobon and Helm, of this city, as counsel for Greer. It seems, that G. B. Greer, of Searcy, assigned notes executed by Goodwin to G. B. Greer of Missouri, when Goodwin purchas- ed the Greer plantation in Jefferson county, consisting of about 5,00C acres from the Searcy man.
 In the petition the plaintiff sought to have a receiver appointed to as sume charge of the plantation at once but after brief argument on the par of counsel Judge Trieber dismissed the entire proceedings, including the application for a receivership.
 It is stated that only one of the notes held by Greer is past due, anG a part of that note has been paid The suit was a great surprise to the de- fendant as no previous intimation hac been given of the intention of the Missouri man to sue.

Will Never Recover Pres tige He Lost When in Fit
 of Temper He Resigned.
HE IS CRITICISED
Senators Say He is Not Up On the Law-WOuld Have Been Re.
 Elected By Admirers.
International News Special

Washington, March 6.-Senator Bailey will never recover his pres tlge he lost when in a fit of temper he sent his resignation to Governor Colquitt last Saturday and few hours later so neatly withdrew it
 If the Texas senator was Qualified for leadership in every other respect, his refusal to grant to others the right of personal opinion and his ir- ritability when opposition confronts him makes it impossible for strong men to follow him.
 His attempt to resign from the Sen- ate through the Vice President, the best lawyers of the Senate suggest challenges his reputation as a great lawyer. Some of the men noted in the Senate for their knowledge of the law said this afternoon the only way Bailey or any other Senator could re- sign would be by personal communi- cation with the Governors. of their states.
 Mr. Bailey's best friends criticise him for withdrawing his resignation. The legislature is in session, it is strongly pro-Bailey and would have been promptly reelected and then would be in a position to return to the Senate with new commission Then perhaps he would have been justified in opposing his own collea- gues. but coming back into the Sen ate by discreetly withdrawing his re- signation he becomes ridiculous If Bailey ever had any hope of lead ership in the Senate he has spoiled it all, The line between Bailey and antiBailey Democrats was sharply drawn in the Lorimer vote. There will be new Democrats in the Senate when next it meets. A caucus will be called to determine the leadrship and fill committee vacancies.
