Regarding Alleged ScaIpIng Of

Chicago. Nov. 3.-President John T.
Rrush of the New York National
IeagHc Baseball club, gave out copies,
ieridas night, CT very pointed letters
hc las exchange with &. =. Johnson.
president Of the American League
rel,ttiEe 10 HE alleged sraIring Of
tickets 10 the world 5 series Of baseball
games. particularly the alleged culpa-
bilit. al the New York National
League team in the matter.
President Johnsen's Iatter 10 Mr..
Rru=t which was an answer to Il
communication demandiHg an inves-
tiRatIon Of runners OF collision between
The New York club and Jhe sealpers is
as follows
When the subject Of handling the
worlds series. this fall, confronted the
commission l suggested that the sale
o. tickets he placed in the control Of
the officials of the two contending
clubs. II anything wsH amss they
would he held accountable. This posi-
ton was taken for the reason that l
Thought the clubs wera better nform-
90 and equipped TO meet local de-
mands aud could cater chiefly 10 those
who mad been their msia support dur
ing the regular championship season.
When | arrived in %eW York the
night preceding the day for the OPEN
ing game a ihe series VAS confront
ell ht members OF the press who tie
manded "a know what action wound
be taken by the comnlissl>n relative
to the ticket scalping scandal. Al that
time had no information that there
had been any trouble over the sale
OF tickets to the worlds series.
IN thc lev succeeding days, from
Information brought me / was firmly
led t. believe that the leading ticket
scalpers Of New Yorl, were abundant
iy provided with tickets and in con-
secutively sectional numbers. It SEEM
ed to me this condition could not have
happened unless there vas coilusion
between some one in yaur office and
the sealpers
Tho demand for tickets in New
York was sufficient TO have sold the
capacity of the Polo grounds for the
three games, 1t is matter of record
that the management OF the New York
club turned back as unsold for the
second and third games between 1000
and 1900 tickets. What steps were
taken by the New York club TO notify
the public that these tickets still were
on sa,eo The press announced that all
the reserved seat tickets for the series
had been sold \ number of leading
New York papers insist that there
should he an investigation 1t appears
TO me YOU are most Vitally interested
in this matter and should court an in
curry If there has been any wrong
-, al ftae
hocn eulpable and it devolves upon
you personally To investigate.
The National Commission probably
would have much difficulty in getting
at the facts. Our chief aim is to pro-
tect the public from graft. ami we
should work together for that pur-
pose.

HOUSE AND SENATE ARE AT OUTS Vote to Adjourn Legislature
 Came as g, Surprise And Senate May Take it Back CALLED THEIR BLUFF
CALLED THEIR BLUFF
Members of House Grew WrOthy In Speeches-HOW Senators
 Voted.

Little Rock, April 32--Now that the unexpected has happened, and the house by an overwhelming vote has adopted the Senator's bluff resolu- tion to adjourn on May 8, instead of dn May 13, there is great deal of speculation whether the Senate will attempt to recede from it's position. It is we'll know fact that many of those who voted for the resolution in the Senate were not sincere and did not believe the resolution would pass. But the House was in the humor for "calling their bluff," and adopted the resolution with some attendant conl- ment inclined toward the caustic.
 The resolution was introduced Fri day morning by Holland and passed and immediately transmitted to the House, where it was taken up im- mediately after the noon recess. Hurst moved to adopt the resolution. Parker of Ouachita offered to amend by making it May 8. eff they want cheap politics." said he ''let us give it to them."e
 Hurst declared that the House had been hard-working body, and had done more work than any other ses- sion. The Judiciary Committe had spent six weeks on the Bradham- Hurst revenue bill, and adopted seventy amendments which they be- 1ieved made it the most important measure before the General Assembly. The Senate had held up on the bill as long as they could do so deceutly, and had then indefinitely postponed it. He declared the state is bound to have some sort of a revenue bill, but it is evident that nothing can be done, and he would be in favor of ad- journing instanter rather than wait ing till. May 8, because he consider ed it useless to stay longer. "The Senate is trying to scare us said he, land let us call their hand. Let us adjourn right now and let the gov ernor call us back"
 Other members cautioned the ' House to act coollv and deliberately ss it was not time to play cheap politics. A motion to table the amendment was lost.
 MT Going made the most sensation < al speech on the subject. He said substantially: "I am ready to quit as it is apparent that no revenue bill can be passed without the unquali- fled endorsement of the tax-dodgers who have been beating their taxes for the last twenty years. anl WY

Has Clever Plan By Which He Secures Nice Sum of
 Money and Disappears
USES A CHAUFFEUR
Sends Him Around to Store Just Be- fore They Close After Making
 Request Over Phone.

Little Rock April 22.-If Ralph Lewis calls you up by telephone late at night and tells you he is the favor ed son of George Gould, the high
 cockalorum of some leading insti- tuition of the state and wants you to cash a check for him, beat it to tine nearest police station and sent ill riot call, or the smoothest crook of the year is abroad in Arkansas and the greatest detective agencies of the United States are ba.'led in their ef- forts to run him to earth. This man has just given Little Peck 2 through working and escaped A hours ahead of the detectives who have chased him over the country
 This man waits until about time for the late cigar stores, hack stands, and others are about to close. He then brings the telephone into uss and states he is the assistant general freight agent of one of the principal lines entering the city, O some big insurance company's confidential man, or something else with Iigh sounding title The man wants to send one of his agents out and would like to have $5 check cashed. The merchants falls for the game and ex- presses willingness 10 accommodate and he is told by the swindler that he will send his chauffeur around The chauffour puts i'll his appear ance almost immediately and the check is cashed ith a string of a dozen or so places, the man gets q neat little sum before he last storn has closed.
 In Little Rock the Night and Day bank was hooked for S5. as we'll as ever dozen others. The swindler never goes over .$5, ss the smallness of the amount permits him to get the money without arousing suspicion. When mornine comes the man has soue. grs ener fields.

continue to beat them for another twenty unless something is done to prevent it. It is time for Us to quit and go home to our constituents ard tell them just where the fault lies. We have done our duty in the house, but I want to tell you that special interests have been at work else where, and we cannot expect to ac- complish anything against such a combination This resolution is an insult to our Speaker and to this House, and I hope that We may adopt it unanimously"
 MT. Hardage moved that further postponement of the resolution be postponed until Wednesday morning but this failed, as did motion by Davis of Lafayette, that it be post poned until May 6. The original re- solution was then adopted by a storm eff ayes, after which the speaker an nounced with a tremendous thumo of the gavel that the House stand adjourned at noon May 8.
 The issue between the House and the Senate which had been brewing for some week was brought ta a head by the action of the Senate in post .poning until May 25, the Bradham- Hurst revenue bill, by which it was proposed to organize the taxation and assessment system of the state and provide more revenue, more equitahi.y distributed. for running the govern ment. The Senate some time ago mad shown a disposition 10 kill the mes- sure, and there is today much specu- lation among the members as to what MT. Going referred when he declared that Special interests" had been at work to defeat it. The mo- tion to postpone was carried by the following vote:
 Ayes-Clerget, Deauan, Dill, Eric dell, Glover, Holland, Hughes, Jacobson, Johnson, Keel, Logan, Robertson Owens, Watson, Williams, Toney-14
 Naye-CarLee, Christian, Coving- ton. Fletcher, Green, Holt, Martin, MoBee, Oldham, Raney, Rodgers of Benton, Turner, White, Woods--12.
 The action set the House on fire with resentment and when the Hol- land resolution came over there was nothing that could have prevented it's adoption. This was accentuated by the further action of the Senate ill refusing to consider numerous character, and at non adjourned un- Character, and at noon adjourned un- til next Monday, although facing a shortened session with a vast amount of unfinished work in hand.
 The Senate passed the Insane Asy- lum bill. but cut out the clause pro- hibiting the use of aneNpended bfff ances for other items, and there is little likelihood that the House Will concur in this, as hard fight was made for it in that body.
 The House during the forenoon con sidered the Tuberculosis Santtariun Appropriation bill carrying s85.000 ant made it a special order for sat"" day morning. During the afternoon it passed the following aonropriatio. bills: Militia $18.5OO: Refarm Schpo $37.900; for support Of agricultnra experimental station -s5S0HH, tota $1140O0 The princinal fight wa;

and said $100,0O0 had been wasted on it in recent years. He declared that their encampments only furnished a market for cheap Tennessee beer. It was pointed out by others that unless appropriation was omade, the Guard would lose s9,50O from the United States, and the bill passed by vote of 51 to 27.

IN RE MATTER OF FREE BRIDGE
Editor Graphic:-

EultOF Gfapnlc:-
 There are a great many people who are inclined to favor the building of the Free Gr:dge' at or near Pine Bluff, who are laboring under the impression that this same Free Bridge" will be built with taxes de- rived from all sources. This is an an error. No property is taxed for the purpose of constructing the said Bridge, except real estate, and no re. venue can be used in the cOnstruc- ti0n. or maintainance of said Bridge except such as is assessed, against, and paid by the owners of real es. tate A merchant of Pine Bluff, may have thousands Of Dollars ill a stock of goods, and yet he, as such, will pay net one cent in taxes on said goods for the construction Of said Bridge; it is true he pays, a County City, and School tax, but under the act, creating the Bridge District. he can not be forced to pay one cent of taxes which can be used in building the Bridge. It is true if said Mer- chant owns land home, ne will have to pay a tax on the land, bu. not one cent on the thousands of dollars worth goods or personal property which he owns. And yet it is said that the Merchants will be benefited in a greater degree than any other class of people: then 'yhy are they rot made to pay on their personal property, when all they have is in- vested in personally instead of real estate. It is right to tax only one kind of property to the exclusion of all other, and it is equitable to tax the owners of little home. or small farm, and let the Banker, who has horded his Gold, in the Bank, and lends it out at a hiyn rate of in terest, to go free from taxation for the Bridge which is said to be the panacea for all of our ills?. It looks to me like discrimination against the poor man who owns his little home, and against the poor farmer who is harrassed by debt, and who mortgages every thing he has to the ] Merchant, and yet this same poor farmer. and the owner of the humble home is asked to pay the taxes to build the free bridge that it is said will be of greater benefit to .he Mer- : chant, and yet the merchant pays nothing, neither docs the Banker. It lcoks like an unfair deal which is attempted to be meted out to the owners of land and the people who have never invested in lands, or even home, are allowed to own thousands of da1lars in Bank, or Bank
 Stock. worth many tinles the value Of poor farm. or small some, an1 the said Banker. or owner of Bank
