Suits Instituted Against In surance Concerns Looked
 On as Huge Joke.
READY FOR HEARING
Attorney General Will Try Cases in Chancrr! Court and Give iom-
 panies Immediate Trial.

Little Rock, Aug. 6.-Service has been had upon all the life. fire and accident insurance companies, 13O i'll all, against which the Attorney-Gen- eral has brought suits for oyer four million dollars back taxes. The ni- surance people have been inclin q /
 look upon the suits as d hugh ioke but the Attorney General says they will find t very serious joke, am. the more he inveS igates, the moin thoroughly is he convinced of the jus ice of his position. In answer to question when the cases would probably be tried, Assistant Attorney General w. H, Rector gave oui the Following statements:
 Sc far as the state is concerned we are ready now The law g vcs the defendant twenty days in which to answer, and if the defendants in sist upon this time they are, of course, entitled 10 it. We realize ], before tlie suits were instituted that ] they would be embarrassing to the 1 defendants even though it should be dettwm ned that our position could not be main aimed, and for that rea- son we deferred filing the suits until
 we were ready to try them.
 ''The questions raised are purely l questions of law and can be determin-
 ed very quickly and very readily un-
 less the defendants desire to delay
 the settlement of the cases. So far l as We are concerned the cases can l be tried in the chancery court and an appeal perfected and lodged w tn the Supreme Court in time for that tri- ! bunal to take the cases under con sidera.ion imme liately upon it's re- converting the latter part of Septem- Der. We shall do everything in our power to have a speedy settlement of the cases"

CHARGE IS DENIED
Committee From Peniientiary Board Will Go to Convict Camp to
 Make Thorough Inquiry.

Little Rock, Aug. 6.-Acting Gov ernor Rodgers, Secretary of State Hodges and commissioner Clay Sloan, of the Penitentiary Board, left today for the convict camp of Warden H. 1T. Tinsley near Malvern to make an off cial inquiry into the death of Lee Ed wards, of Miller county July 23. It is charged that Tinsley compelled him to work when he was i'll, and that he says that Edwards went to work of his own accord, telling him that he was feeling better and had rather work than stay in the hot car.
 At meeting of the Penitentiary Board Tuesday, the following resolu- ton by Secretary of State Hodges was adopted:
 Resolved, That this board request the Attorney-general to render an opinion as to the authority and pow CTS of the Penitentiary Board over
 
 work under the provisions of the Pat terso nact, and whether county auth 1 critics are authorized to grant dis charges to prisoners being worked by them under said law, and whether said county road districts are author- ized to work convcts otherwise than on public roads"
 Supt. Pitcock reported that he needs more bloodhuonds to be used in preventing the escape of convicts especially from the camps at the farm, and he was authorized to se- cure bids for the purchase of half a dozen.
 The Board will meet again Aug. 16 to hear and consider the report of the committee on the investigation of Ed wards death, and to let contracts for l,5Oo pairs S,f shoes and 10000 yards of convict sti, oes.

Up a Wrefched Exhibition

High School pupil. was on the long
end by a fair margin.
A short 'round-house" right to the
jaw from the nit of big Bert Stew
ems, of Summit, settled Fat Stutz's
hash" in the middle of the second
round. Both brought with them a big
following, and when Stevens accom-
plished his purpose the house was in
an uproar.
The fifth bout of the evening
brought together Jim Finney, of this
city, andfYoung Weiner, of Orange
1t was a sensational "go" while IL
lasted. Weinert, who is coming fasN.
disposed of his big negro opponent
in the very first round, after a serieA
of terrific rights and lefts to the jaw.
Finney was sent to the mat no lesA
than six times, when Referee Ross
urged Weinert to his corner. The
latter is only 16 years of age, though
rather tall, but has shown a world OF
improvement since his initial appear

FINLAND, At Sea, by Wireless Tel
egraph. via ~siasconset, Mass, June
1s.-The training of the large team of
athletes who are proceeding to Stock
holm to represent the United States
in the Olympic games is being kept
up with the utmost vigor, and as far
as the circumscribed space on ship
board will permit the daily$work OF
the athletes is similar to that which
they would go through If they were
on land.
Both morning and afternoon all the
men except a half dozen who are
seasick turn out on deck for hard
practise under the direction Of the
trainer, who is endeavoring to keep
them in thorough physical condition,
SO that when they reach land a few
tryouts on shore will bring them to
the top of their proper form.
The swimming tanks on board are
very popular with the athletes, to
whom they have proved of great ben
eft.

They simply clinched, tapped and
smiled a lot at each other throughout
the entire bout. Before the third

His performance, however. is more
remarkable than that of the others,
for he is still ~unbeaten. while both
Reulbach and Chesbro made their

BANTY LEWIS TO GET
HIS BIG CHANCE TONIGHT

The friends of Banty Lewis are
anxious to see what their favorite
can do against a nan like Frankie
Burns, of Jersey City, and will be
out strong tonight when the two meet
at the Eleventh Ward Athletic Club,
Morris Park. There is no question
but that Burns is a more clever lad
than Lewis, and has had more expert
ence. but Lewis has been coming so
fast mere of late that there is always
a possible chance for the more ex-
perienced man to get a lacing.
Lewis is in good shape and hopes
to make Burns put forth the best that
he has. The semi-final will bring to-
gether Ray Hatfield and Young
Rocks, of Boston. The preliminaries
are good and have Young Mack and
Young Allen, Chick Perry and Abe
White, Battling Monk and o Perna
and Kid Stock, the Central High
School lad, and Joe Gier, a sparring
