BEGGING SUPPLIES
ON FALSE PRETENSE
A Clever Man and Woman
Make Haul.
WAGON LOAD OF STUFF
Hired Team of Livery and From
Farm,rs Secured Great Guam
tity of Provisions.

A clever man and woman, unprinci-
pied and dishonest, on Monday last
made tour of the rural section, and
by telling number of lies and deceiv-
ing generous people, secured provi-
sions and produce that completely
loaded the wagon in which they rode.
The man and woman, both are we'll
known, hired team on Monday Of
Hitchner, the liveryman. They drove
ont through Stoe Creek and Hopewell
townships. At various places they
stopped, and earnestly declared they
we're seeking provisions and produce
for charity. Both the man and the
woman made the suggestions for con-
tributions. They told various stories.
At one place they declared that they
were obtaining contributions for the
hospital. Elsewhere the woman de-
clared that they were obtaining sup
plies for big supper to be given in
the Berean Baptist Church. At one
place the man said the solicitation was
made for big charitable dinner to be
given on Vine street Still another lie
was that the contributions were for a
Home Rescue Mission.
The net result of the beggar tour
was a wagon loaded with all manner
of produce literally contributed by the
generous folk of the farm
1t is said that the man and woman
are thoroughly professional and that
they have done similar work previ-
Ously.
1t would seem that this was a mat
ter that the authorities should inves-
tigata and that there should be pun
ishment for those who attempt such
raw swindle. Too often it is neces-
sary for the proper charity to be So
licited and great help is made from
contributions. Worthy charity and
liberal contributions should be pro-
tected from such dispicable frauds.

that was raised.
In his careful study and inyestiga-
tions, Mr.. Hires finds that other states
have adopted this Ian with marked
successful resul S. The United Stltes
government has a fe er risen farm

terially reduce the prison population
and at the same time furnish healthful
and profitable work for many who will
be little employed when the contract
labor system is ended.
The farm would of necessity be a
paying Investment to tae state. Much
of all the supplies for the various in
sututions of the state could be fur
nished from the farm, while the open
markets would receive any surplus
The states having farms depend al
most wholly upon manual labor AS
littla machinery as possible is installed
by reason Of the fact that one of the
objects Of the enterprise is to furnish
labor for the prisoners, and this labor
costs the state nothing so that hand
labor is even more economical than
machinery which is used to an adsan-
take upon the average farm.
Prisoners placed upon the farm
would acquire an avocation that would
fit them to go out in the world at the
expiration OF their sentences, and
make good, honest living, and at the
same time afford an opportunity for
the man to escape from the temptation
of the large cities
1t is not at all unlikely that the
views and recommendations of Mr..
Hires will be presented to the leglsla-
ture, and the matter may even, at the
next session be very fully considered.
Mr.. Hires has already submitted his
views to others engaged In the work
of penal institution management, and
his conclusions have been accepted by
them as in very great measure solv-
ing the immediate problems now con-
fronting the state.

TOML|N GOT
A FINE BUCK

Charles r. Tomlin went down on the
6.25 car to Newport this morning with
a deer hunt in mind He went, all
alone, out in the woods, back of New
port, and in an old road he soon saw
buck walking right up towards him.
He shot at it, hitting it in the breast,
killing it. He carried it out to the
trolley and at quarter to II o'clock
he was back in Bridgeton with his tro-
ply. 1t was fine young buck.

MINUTE ADOPTED BY
MINISTERS ASSOCIATION

A notable feature of the recent Anti
License campaign in Bridgeton was
the uncompromising attitude of our
local papers. While not for moment
overlooking other important factors in
our success, we desire at this time to
record our deep appreciation of the
able and unstinted support given our
cause by the papers of the city.
Had they been hostile or even silent,
the result must have been in doubt
from the first. 1t is not too much to
say that their combined influence was
a determining factor in the contest.
They were willing simply to go to any
length to aid the cause of anti license.
Day after day news columns were
open and editorial pens were alert that
no item or argument that would help
should be withheld from the public.
And when victory was assured, no joy.
we believe, was more fervent and sim
cere than that which found expression
in the newspaper Offices of our city.
More than ever, the papers of our city
are worthy of the high appreciation
and support of the citizens of Bridge
ton.
Signed,

bring their own bands and there will be music in the air.
 One of the greatest features of the convention will be the daily aviation exhibitions at Essex Park, and Hot Springs will thus have the distinction of presenting the first heavier-than air flying machine exhibition in the state of Arkansas. The negotiations were made with the Glenn H. Curtiss avia- tors, and they will give spectaclualr flights in some of their latest im- proved aeroplanes Curtiss himself is expected to be here, and one of his most celebrated pupils, James J. Ward of Chicago, will also be seen in sky scraping stunts. The races and the aeroplane exhibitions will occur at Essex Park each afternoon of the convention.
 Ward won fame as g daredevil driver of the autimobile, and then becoming fascinated by the antics of the bird-men he joined the ranks of the aviators For the last four months he has probably spent more time in the air than any other flyer, and during it all has maintained his enthusiasm, and has often made as cents not required under his, con- tracts because of his love for flying. Last December he entered meet in New Orleans as an unknown, and was the first in the air. After that he started pn "a tour of the South. and with every engagement won new laurels. He has made a flight of three miles over the sea at an alti- tude of 2700 feet, and great things may be expected of him here.

 PINE BLUFF c, c. Kavanaugh, of Little Rock, Heads $1,500,O00 Company That Will Build TO FURNISH POWER To Towns Along The Route-Great Advantage to Farmers-The Officers.
TO FURNISH POWER

Little Rock, Ark, May 4.-Articles of Incorporation were filed yester- day with the secretary of state and the county clerk by the officials of the Little Rock, Pine Bluff and East ern Traction Company with a capi- talization of $1,50O,00O, 1000 900 of the capital to be made up by the sales of common stock and the remaining $500,000 by preferred stock.
 The incorporabors of the company are c. C. Kavanaugh, E. W. Jackson and J. M Mehaffy. The officers are: c. c. Kavanaugh, President; J M Mehaffy, Secretary, and E. w. Jack son treasurer. ~
 The company proposes to build ar electric interurban line connecting Little Rock and Pine Bluff and z number of the intermediate points or the east side of the Arkansas river Under the act, No 90, 1901, under which the articles of incorporation were filed, the company will be per mitted fo carry express and frieght as we'll as passengers. and to fur nish light and power to the towns and cities On and near it's tracks.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1911-05-05

regarding the proposed line, 1t has
 been inferred that the road will be patterned after some of the large in-
 terurban lines in operation in the North, but possibly nothing as ela- borate as the lines inter Indianapolis and Louisville will be attempted until after the line has been in operation for some time. On the short run be- tween Little Rock and Pine Bluff there will be no demand for the fancy dining cars and the sleepers demand ed on some of the longer lines, but it is thought that extra large cars will have to be put into service on this line on account of the negro passengers, making it necessary to use twp compartments for the pas engers in addition to the baggage c compartment.

to Pine Bluff and another to Hot Springs, but owing to some financial difficulty the projects were given up and on nterurbsn talk s'has been heard for several months.
 WiM Follow Cotton Belt.
 The proposed route of the Pine Bluff line will connect Argenta and Little Rock and will follow about the course of the Cotton Belt railroad to Pine Bluff. The building of such a line means the expenditure of thoh- sands of dollars for power pants, transformer stations, depots, besides the cost of the cars and track equip ment and bridges.
 The line will be AZ miles in length and will have number of passing farm products can be loaded into electric freight cars on the farms. besides several stations where the power cables will be tapped and the cities and towns on both sides of the track can be lighted with electricity.
 No attempt has been made to place figure lon the time the cars will be supposed to make between the two cities, but according do the schedules on the lines in the North, an hour and half will be moderate enough. the high-pcwer cars can stop and get under way again in very short time and but little time is figured for starting and stopping on the fast cars.
 Through and Local Cars.
 Of course the company will operate through cars between the large points along the line and let the lccal cars make the smaller stops. This will ac- commodate the local trade as we'll as the through passengers. The cars will be operated from dispatcher's office the same as trains on railroad and the carmen will make their re- ports from the stations and sidings along the road and receive their orders by telephone direct from the. dispatchers office.

When asked about the possibility of immediate steps regarding the right of way and the construction o1 the line, Mir. Kavamaugh yesterday made the following statement: "All that I have authority to say at this time is that the arrangements with the financiers, who, with their en- gineers, have looked over the terri tory justify the statement that the road will be built, provided substan- tial moral and financial aid can be given at Pine Bluff, Little Rock, Ar genta and other interested points. The matter will be presented for mally to the business organizations pf the interested localities immediate ly after the reunion.''
 The proposed electric line will run through one of the most fertile agri- cultural districts in the state and carries with 1t the possibility of bring ng HeleTa, Stuttgart, Hagen, Carlisle England and Searcy into closer com munication with Little Rock and Pine Bluff While the proposed line has not been planned to pass through these places after the line is complet- ed to Pine Bluff it will be but short work to connect the other towns by addition to the Little Rock-Pine Bluff line.
 Great Advantage to Farmers.
 Men whIo are acquainted with the effect of the building of interurban lines through the farm sections say that the proposed line will do mere to promote the interests of that country and to bring out it's true value than anything else. With cars running through the farm lands each hour into Pine Bluff and Little Rock, the farmers are placed pn an equal foot ing with the residents of the cities. In the North the country is trav- ersed by a network of electric lines and some sections dining cars and sleepers are operated On ,'se longer lines.

FLAX is PROFITABLE
Wonderful Paying Proposition In
Western Canadian Prairles.

So much is heard Of the wheat, oats
and barley grown in the prairie lands
of western Canada, and so much has
been told Of the wealth to be made
out of the raising Of cattle on
the succulent and rich grasses
of those fertile plains, that a
most important product has been al
most lost sight of, Flax. Recent press
reports advise us that on n of the
last boats to clear from Fort William
Eat the head of Lake Superior) for
Buffalo. there were 241, 900 bushels of
fax valued at $685., 22O, and on another
boat leaving the same day there were
2SS, 900 bushels valued at $4,000.
There has been a big demand for Ca
madam FAX this season, and the lake
movement has been very heavy. Flax
is always a sure crop, and gives to
the farmer who is anxious for quick
return after getting on his land, the
chance he is looking for. There is
| opportunity for thousands yet, IN the
free homesteads Of 100 acres, and
many of these are available within
short distance of the lines Of railway
that are already built or under con-
struction, either on the main line or
branches. Besides these free grant
lands there is an opportunity to- pur-
chase from railway and land COM
panies at reasonable prices.
The display of western Canada's
grains in the straw as well as
threshed grains and grasses recently
made at st. Louis was an excellent
demonstration of what the country can
do. 1t proved splendid as an illustration
of the resources of that vast prairie
country, which during the past veal
has again proven it's ability to pro
duce excellent yields of wheat, oats
and barley-and fax. Not only this
but the splendid herds Of cattle are
a source Of large revenue. There II

erature, copies of which may be hac

TARIFF IN MAKING
SOME TRICKS MADE USE OF ~
SPECIAL INTERESTS.
For One Thing, the Idea That Most Of
the Schedules Were Beyond Pop
uIar Comprehension Has Been
Widely Exploited.

Il is proposed, as a necessary meas.
ure Of public enlightenment. that a
government commission shall trans
late the tariff into English that may
be understood by the people. The
need for such translation supplies by
itself a suggestive commentary on the
methods pursued in tariff making and
the tricks and concealments employed
to v the tracks of special inter
ests which have made them profitable
bargains for favors at the expense OF
the general public.
A Washington dispatch, for exam
pie, tells how tariffs are made:
Nothing funnier, and, nothing
more serious, paradoxical as 1t may
seem, has been e e than the spec
tacle Of senators and representatives
voting upon tariff items without the
slightest notion Of their meaning.
The strong hold of the dictators OF
the textile schedule. for example, has
been the absolute incapacity OF the
people to understand it. 1t means
much to a textile manufacturer wheth-
er a fabric runs 100 threads to the
inch, but it means nothing, as a tar
if proposition, to the people. The
tariff board, which Is a rather wise
body, believes that the people are
entitled to a translation Of their tariff
law. The tariff board is nonpartisan.
1t has no axes of its own to grind,
and 1t has no theories to promulgate.
1t is investigating and will spread the
reports of its Investigations before the
people of the country. 1t is a popu'
lar notion that the tariff board will
report only to the president. Nothing
could be more erroneous. There could
be no worse politics than for the tar
liz board to report only to the presi-
dent. The people are entitled to learn
the results of investigations OF these
the reports will be published broad
cast"
or course it was the interest Of the
favored few on the inside to create
the general belief that tariff making
was an esoteric mystery, far beyond
popular comprehension. ALI the peo-
pie had to do about it was to pay the
price and look as pleasant as they
could, Now, when the mystery Is ex
planned to them in plain English and
they learn that they are paying a zoo
per cent. tax on articles of common
wear and from 80 to 100 per cent, or
foodstuffs, they may not look SO pleas
ant about it; all the more when they
understand that the major part o
these taxes goes not into the public
treasury but into the pockets O
manufacturers who have been work
ing the tariff game for all 1t wa
worth to them and their allies in con
gress,
