STATE WARRANT
 GOES TO PROTEST"
New Wrinkle Which Puts State Auditor Jobe in Position of Man Who Fails to Meet
 His Note in Bank.

Little Rock, July Estate Audi tor John R. lobe, usually a con- servative and peaeeably inclined official, received a communication through the mail yesterday that could not have shocked him more had it been Black Hand letter ornamented with the rude sketch of a coffin and the request that he leave a million dollars in a hollow tree somewhere before midnight The communication in question was an official document bearing the seal and signature of a local notary public and the information that a warrant drawn upon the state treasury for S3l in favor of the Target Supply Company had been turned down and was accordingly protested
 MT. lobe says that if the state debt is to be shouldered on him he
 is liable to be reported missing some morning, as he has enough to do to bother himself about the monthly grocery bill, and he does not propose to stand for these pro- tests, especially since they are of no avail and only help the notary business at the expense of the other party. In regard to the protest he wrote the following letter:
 "I have yours of the 10th noti- flying me that an auditors warrant
 on the treasury for $34, in favor of
 the Target Supply Company has
 been protested and the usual notice that the holder looks to me for payment with all costs. interest and damages. In reply, beg to advise
 that holder can continue to look. It is a little surprising to me that you and your customer cannot dis tinguish between an auditors war rant and draft, or check drawn by an individual or firm. In drawing this warrant l simply performed an official function, which the law directs and I am in no way respon- sible for the payment of the war rant. If the treasurer has the money in the proper fund to pay it when presented, he pays 1t; if not, it is necessary for the holder to wait until the money comes in. This may not be strictly in accord anee with the rules of banking, but it is the way the state does busi- ness"

A rise then set m and there were monthly increases, without a break, until March, 1910, when wholesale prices reached the highest point in twenty years. They were then 2f,f per cent higher than the average of 1900, i9.3 per cent higher than the yearly average of 1897 and 3SS per cent higher than the average price of ten years between 1890 and 1899.
 Then followed a slight decline. and from June to December, 1910, prices remained nearly level and at the close of the calander year 1901 they were still 30 per cent higher than the ten-year average between 1890 and 1900 and 45.4 per cent higher than the record set by the low price year 1897.

RAILROAD THE FATHER
Frank l.. Neall, Freight Expert, Wit ness Before Committee In-
 yestigating Sugar Trust.

Washington, July i2.-Frank L. Neall of Philadelphia, a shipping and freight expert, told the house committee Investigating the sugar trust, about the paternity of trusts
 MT. Havemeyer has said that the tariff is the mother of trusts" said Mir. Neall. You can't have a mother without father.
 The railroad is the father of trusts, and if this committee will go into the subject deep enough it will find this out.
 Sometimes it is hard to learn the percentage of trust" observed Representative Malby, facetiously.
 Well, I'll trust to the intelligence of this committee to straighten out the genealogy of the sugar trust 3 said Mir. Neall.
 The Philadelphia rate expert then furnished the committee with sta- tistieal data concerning freight rates both by land and water.
 Neall declared that railroads fluctuated rates to meet water com petition.
 The rate on New York shipment would be 8h cents per hundred, said Neall, to Philadelphia, Balti- more, Washington and Alexanderia, Va, even though the Washington haul is longer.
 But go into the interior and you do not find any such similar rates.
 "Is that because of water compe- tition?" asked Chairman Harwick.
 That is what we would like for you to find out, said the witness.
 MT. Neall was asked why the American Sugar Refining Company had increased it's plants in New York and had decreased it's opera lions in Philadelphia.
 That IS something I have been trying to find out for two years,r said Mr Neall. T presume the frauds at the New York customs house throw some light on the situ- ation."

CAN'T BRING MAN
 BACK; NO FUNDS
Attorney Generals Office Is Un- able to Assist in Return of J. M. Stanley From
 Oklahoma.

Little Rock, July i3.-In reply to Ia letter from Paul Little, prosecut- ing attorney from Sebastian coun- ty, in regards to the efforts that are being made to bring J. NJ. Stanley back from Oklahoma, in which he has been captured, Assistant Att torney General w. H. Rector says that his otficc is unable to be of any assistance owing to the fact that the contingent fund for the use of the office was vetoed by the gover- nor and he is without funds for that purpose. Stanley is wanted in Se- bastian county on the charge of kidnapping, but after being located in Oklahoma he refused to return without acquisition papers. After the acquisition papers had been issued Stanley secured his release on a writ of habeas corpus. The Sebastian county officials then ap- pealed to the attorney general and Mir. Recotr returned the following answer:
 Stanley is a lawyer out in Okla homa. At the time he stole Mir. Trice's child was assistant prose- cutting attorney at Fort Smith and am therefore familiar with the de- tails. l thought at the time, and l still think, that Stanley ought to be severely handled for his act. stated that he had not only violat- ed our laws, but what is worse, it IS very unprofessional thing for lawyer to do.
 This man ought to be brought to Arkansas by all means and dealt with, and General Norwood and | both regret that the act of the gov ernor in vetoing the contingent fund in this office renders 1t im- possible for us to furnish any funds to promote the interests of the state in the Oklahoma court. either by employing counsel or sending a representative of this office. Had we any funds available we would gladly take this matter up and see what we could do to- ward bringing this man back to Ar kansas for trial"
