The Democrats OF the Fiftieth Sen.
atorial district feel confident this
(, year that they will elect state scna.
! tor aud two representatives This
district comprises tho counties oil
Alexander, Franklin, Pulaski, Union
and Williamson and in years past has
been Republican, but had not the
Democrats "plunked" two years ago
they would have elected both of thoi:
candidates for representative.
Dr. d. J. Woodard, leading dent.
ist Of Benton and man who has al
ways stood for clean politics" is the
Democratic nominee for state sena-
tor. He Is making thorough can
vas Of the district in order to defeat
Senator w o. Potter, Republican, of
Marion. Senator Potter has always
been staunch Lorimer supporter
and was one OF the men who voted
for the Chicago blond boss" in the
legislature in 1909 and sent him to
the United States Senate, where he
remained until that body, after two
invest igations, found" he had pur-
chased his seat and returned to Chi

send them both to the assembly and
aid in the election of Col. ]. Ham

restraining them from paying to
Mayor Parsons 81 500, the amount OF
money he says he spent on his trip
to Washington in the interest of this
city IN his efforts to secure the $780,
600 appropriation from the general
government for the strengthening
and raising of the levees OF Cairo and
the Drainage District.
An appeal will be taken from
Judge Buffers decision and the case
will be taken TO the appellate court
for further action This was prev
iously decided upon by the complain
ants in the event the Injunction was
dissolved
Attorneys William p. Gilbert aud
Angus Leek, for the defendants, and
Carl s Miller, ce Mound City, for the
complainants, argued the case before
Judge Butler yesterday. The former
eontended that there were legally
three funds from which such money
could be drawn to pay the amount;
the general fund, the contingent
fund aud the levee fund; and that no
ourt Of equity will enjoin munich
pality from acting within its corpor-
ate powers; that the city had full
power TO raise and strengthen the
leyees and to also pay the expenses OF
the head Of the government or any
one else in accomplishing this result.
Attorney Miller maintained that
Mayor Parsons could not sue the city
and recover the money, since as he
was mayor his entire compensation
was limited to his salary as such.
lie also argued that in any event tho
afro Drainage district and the Cairo
Trust Property should bear their
of the expense incurred.

for Mr. Taft on a Republican ticket
under Republican emblem. We

DEFENSE READS
SCHEPPS TALKS
At HOT SPRINGS
Claims Murder Was Not In
stigated by Former
Lieut.. Chss. Becker.
Associated Press Dispatch,

Associated Press Dispatch,
New York, Oct 21.---What Sam
Schepps told his. friends in Hot
Springs, Ark, about the murder of
Herman Rosenthal. was read to the
record today, at the trial of Lieut..
Becker, who is charged with insti-
eating the crime.
81 don't want you fellows to think
we killed a man who was of any ac-
count" Schepps told Postmaster
Johnson, of Hot Springs, according to
Iohnsons testimony before the COM
mission sent to Hot Springs to ev-
anime him and others. "That fell
low RosenthaI was dirty cur. He
should have been killed, | don't
want you fellows to think.of me as
common murderer"
Johnsons testimony was read by
Becker's lawyer with intent to sup
port the contention that Schepps was
one Of the four men who desired
Rosenthal's death on his own ac-
count and conspired to kill him.
Reads Testimony.
For two hours, this afternoon At
torney Hart read extracts from the
testimony at Hot Springs. In that,
which went on record, was talk be-
tween Schepps and Mike Berkholz, in
which Schepps is alleged to have
said:
''You don't know what dirty dog
Rosenthal got to be- He thought
everybody was abusing him. Why
he even wanted the gang to kill
Lewis Kaufman"
Thirteen witnesses, few of whom
remained more than few minutes
on the stand, testified, today, and
brought the case swiftly towards its
close. Indications at adjournment
were that the defense would rest to-
morrow without placing Becker on
the stand, Notwithstanding the prev
tous announcement that Becker
would testify.
John F. Mcintyre, Becker's chief
counsel, tonight said that he wanted
as witnesses the four gun men
charged with shooting Rosenthal to
death, but that their counsel refused
to permit them to testify.

COL. ROOSEVELT AT
PITTSBURGH ON WAY
TO OYSTER BAY

Pittsburgh, Pa, on board Roose-
velt's special, October Although
ex-President Roosevelt was weary
from his all-day ride from Chicago to
Pittsburgh be showed no other i'll
effects on his arrival here, tonight,
and the attending physicians were
confident he would reach Oyster Bay
In almost as good condition as when
he left Mercy hospital.
Mrs. Roosevelt and physicians,
while believing that the Colonel had
sufficient strength for the trip, were,
nevertheless, concerned as to the out
come when the time came for his de-
parture and during the first few
hours they watched the patient close
ly for any set back.
AS the day wore on and it became
plain that he was resting comfort
ably, the attention was relaxed and
y
car is breathing more easily.
The Colonel spent the day in read
ing magazines, talking and sleeping.
AS soon as he was brought to his car
in Chicago he went to bed and re-
mained there throughout the day.
Sleepless in Morn.
He said in the morning he did not
feel like sleeping, but the swaying
of the train tired him and he slept
for several hours. The hardshps of
the journey We're increased by severe
jolts, caused by the inperfection of
the brake on his car and once or
twice the train came to such an alb
rupt halt that the Colonel was
tossed about in his bed.
Tho Colonel was suffering from
nervous exhaustion when he left Chi
cago'and found the motion of the
train most tiresome, so that he was
glad he was able to sleep OCCASION
ally.
The progress of the Roosevelt train
was watched by silent crowds. At
many Of the stations people were out
to see the train pass. They brought
flowers and fruit to the wounded
man and sent him messages of greet
ing. There was no cheering and the
people talked in subdued tones that
there might be no possibility of dis
turbing the Colonel. 1t all formed
a decided contract to every other trip
which Col. Roosevelt has made dur
ing the campaign with the cheering
and hand clappng and the blare OF
brass bands.
Wound Bleeds Some.
DR., Alexander Lambert, of New
York, who, with DR.. surry Terrell, of
Dallas, is caring for Col. Roosevelt,
said the wound had bled some during
the day, but that the bleeding was
merely the result of the draining Of
the wound and was an indication of
the healing process.
Bulletins were issued by the ply
sicians from time to time during the
day, but they merely reported that
the Colonel was resting easy and that
his condition was unchanged. Aided
by the X-ray examination made yes

termine the position of the bullet by

MANILA MEN FASHION PLATES.
Philippines Rapidly Becoming Ameri
 canized, a Missionary Declares.

Manila has become so Americanized that the young men wear clothes of the latest cut, fancy shoes, loud socks and carry canes, according to the Rev Father Philip M. Finegan, who has re- turned to New York, after seven years in the Philippines.
 There is a growing class of young men in the Philippines who are anx- iOus to obtain education and enter the professions. said Father F'inegan. They are quick to grasp the need of educational advantages, and they know that the government is giving the very best. English is becoming the lan- guage of the islands.
 One can get some idea of changed conditions by watching the young men on the streets of Manila. A few years ago they used to slouch along with their shirts outside their trousers. Now they appear well dressed, with even the extremes in fashion that one can see here. And they are very particular about their personal appearance. - From the New York Times.
