COMPLICATIONS BE-
 COME COMPLEX

= SODlDlltd. tons under the Initiative and Referendum continue to become more complex. On Thursday petitions were filed by citizens or Garland county, bearing 91S names, for the submission under the initiative of the question of horse racing to the people of Garland county.
 Attorney General Norwood holds that this cannot be done. and Secretary of State Hodges is holding up the petition until he shall be ordered by court of competent jurisdiction to certify 1t out. Something of the same questions are involved in this as in the Dallas county seat peti, tlon, in which mandamusproceed- ings are pending, although the racing bill goes even further. There are at least initiative peti. tlons more or less dependent up on that and similar proceedings that will no doubt by instituted before all have been certified out.
 Among the bills involved are: Dallas county seat removal; Calhoun county, to make county judge county road and bridge commissioner; Clark county to place officials on a salary; Pope county, to place county officials on salary; Garland county, to permit horse racing; Pulaski county, to permit Sunday base ball,
 The attorney general holds that the racing bill is inconsisten with Act 55, of the Legislature, approved Feb. 27, 1907, a general law for the whole state, which provides,
 That hereafter it shall be unlawful to bet in this state, dis rectly or indirectly, by selling or buying pools or otherwise, any money or other valuable thing on any horse race of any kind whether he or run in this state or out of this state, "
 Prior to 1907, betting was not prohibited on a horse-race when run on regular enclosed race course or racing park. The act proposed by the citizens of Gar land is An act to regulate the racing of horses in Garland coun- ty in the state of Arkansas, and to establish a county racing commissioner for said Garland, county, prescribing it's duties and pow CTS and permitting and person or persons to buy and sell combination or French pools (pari mutueD on horse races on any legally licensed race track during races thereon and mak> ing the provisions of this act ap- plicable to Garland county only"
 The attorney general contends that to hold any other way than that such acts are not permiss- able under the Initiative would be to permit the people of Mont gomery coutry to pass an act making murder a misdemeanor, or the people of Poinsett to de clare that killing man could be punished only as violation of the game law. The bars can not be laid down to permit any politi. cal divison of the state to set aside the general laws of the

the newspaper office, whether it be
in Baltimore, Chicago, New Or,
leans, New York or San Francisco.
F0ther reporters, the vast majority,
I md their matter to the Western
Union Messenger boys VINO are con-
stantly in attendance. Some use
the long distance telephone, there
being a number of specially ar
range telephone booths near by.
Under the rostrum and little to the
rear are nearly a hundred telegraph
operators who work at lightning
speed during and for some time af-
ter each session of the convention,
ticking off the matter over the
wires as it is sent in by the re-
porters.
Another feature Of the reporting
that is handled with almost miracu-
lous dispatch is the cartooning and
illustrating. All of the score and
more big dailies that are sold here
on the streets for one cent a copy
have cartoons or cuts of some form.
Hearst's cartoonist will, without
scarcely being noticed by the laity,
walk around the rostrum when
some prominent person rises to
spaak. making strokes with his pen
as he passes from one view point to
another. and in an incredibly short
time his true-to-nature likeness or
caricature, as the case may be, Is
completed and on its way to New
York to be used in connection with
the speech.
Another means that some employ
for procuring material for cuts is
the flash light. Probably a half
dozen times during each session
one will hear a muffied report near
the rostrum followed by huge puff
of smoke. The hall is so large
that the movements of the artist,
the report or the smoke scarcely at
tract attention.
should have stated above in con-
nection with the delivery of New
York papers in Baltimore by spe-
cial trains that Hearst's train has
made what is probably a worlds re-
cord for that distance. He uses
the Pennsylvania road as far down
as Philadelphia and at that place
his trains are switched to the Bal
timore and Ohio tracks, making the
trip from Philadelphia to Balti-
more, distance of % miles, in "a
minutes.

How a National Convention is
Reported by Great Dailies.

Special to The Advertier.
Baltimore, June 2s--One of the
most marvellous things in connec-
ton with a national convention is
the system and dispatch with
which the proceedings are reported
by the great daily papers. The de.
mands of the present day reading
public together with the sharp com
petition between newspapers causes
them to spare nothing in their eff
forts to give out the greatest
amount of news in the shortest pos
sible time. In connection with
this convention, being comparative
ly near New York, the rivalry is
not only very keen among Balti-
more and New York papers locally
but The World, Herald, Times and
American of New York are also
vying with the Baltimore papers.
The New York American and The
Times send their morning editions
and extras down a distance of 10
miles on special trains several times
each day, reaching this place every
morning six hours before Edge6eld
receives a daily upaper of any
kind.
What is known as the press gal
lery which is supplied with desks
for the working or reporting press
is located near the ostrum which in
this convention is at least ten or
twelve feet above the floor.
A few of the papers
have an operator seated be-
side the reporter in the press gale
ry who on noiseless ticker sends
the proceedings by special wire
from the convention hall direct to

Special to The Advertiser.
Baltimore, June 29.-Contrary
to the popular opinion that politics
and religion, like oil and water,
will not mix, all of the sessions Of
the convention have been opened
with prayer, the entire audience Of
eighteen or twenty thousand people
rising and giving respectful atten-
ton. The first session was opened
with prayer by Cardinal Gibbons,
who is deeply frevered by many
Baltimorians. The bishop of this
Episcopal diocese officiated at the
next session, and Methodist minis
ter was invited the third day. Yes
terday this honor--more properly,
duty-fell upon DR.. Wharton who
holds a warm place in the hearts of
the Edgefeld people. That he i'm
pressed the large audience by his
very earnest invocation was indicat-
ed by the displaying of the follow
ing bulletin in front of the Balti-
more American building yesterday
afternoon: THE morning prayer
enthused the convention. Rev. DR..
Wharton was rendered splendid
ovation"
The day after reached Balti-
more I asked a prominent business
man if he knew DR.. Wharton, the
Baptist minister, His reply was,
what, know DR.. Wharton? why
he is known by practically every
body in town. My little compan-
ion. and will go out to hear DR..
Wharton tomorrow morning, and
tomorrow night we will attend the
First Baptist church of Philadel-
phia, DR.. Ferris being its pastor.

Moses Davenport owned the sawmill

owned the vacant lot, opposite the

at glance that Moses was a man OF
importance. Added to the facts above
given, he was forty years old and a
widower, and it had been repeatedly
announced that he would never marry
again. having promised his wife on
her dying bed that he would not do so.

she was going away and he had been
heard to say:
"You can go and be hanged to you.
and you need never come back! In six
months shall have a wife to run the
house for mel"
Those were the exact words of Mo.

they were repeated from mouth to

There We're widows in and around

that in case Of marriage it would be
