SEATED UNDER
 AUTO WHEELS

Memphis, Tenn, Jan. A.-Leading a crowd of schoolboys, LeRoy Boone 10 years old, skated to his death under the wheels of an auto at 4 o'clock this afternoon. He was un- needing the warning sounds of the auto horn and skated directly into the path of the machine. The wheels of the machine passed over his head and body while his mortified companions looked on. The child's head and body were crushed and he was badly mutilated. The occupants of the machine stopped it immediate ly and made every effort to save the boys life. Physicians were hast- fly called, but their efforts to re- yive consciousness were of no avail.

PACKERS VISIT
 LITTLE ROCK TOO
Lee Veil, who recently Addressed Business Men Here, Make Simi.
 lar Proposals to Little Rock.

l
 Ben Veil, of Evansville, Ind, and
 Lee B. Well, of Birmingham, Ala,
 who recently visited Pine Bluff and discussed the packing house project with local business men, have made l a similar proposition to the business men at Little Rock. They appeared before the Little Rock Chamber of Commerce Tuesday night. The Ga zette says: We came here today for the sole purpose of establishing packing plant in Little Rock" said Lee Well, representing the packing company. We have proposition before your Chamber of Commerce which, I am informed, will be presented to your Board of Governors and, if acted favorably upon, we will be operat- ing within one year from the first of February. To show you what this plant will mean to Little Rock, in the way of business, we contemplate the building of a plant in this city with a killing capacity of from 1000 to 1,500 hogs a week and from 200 to 300 cattle. This would mean that HOO cars of live stock would come to this city every week that does not come here today; it also means that 300 cars of meat will go out of Little Rock every year to the Eastern mar kets; they also use 100 other cars of other materials, such as salt.
 '.I am informed that Little Rock sends $3,OO0,O00 a year to out-of- town packers. If that is fact, we say that we can keep 20 or 25 per cent of that money in Little Rock 1 Why send it to the other packina centers of the country?" -

TOO MUCH TARIFF

San Diego SUM- Mrs. Helen NJ.
Stoddard, Prohibition candidate for
congress, wants it known that she
knows something about the tariff. In
a statement based on recent speech
made in Santa Ana, she says:
Yes, I know something about the
experience touching it's workings.
when l went to Texas from Ne
braska in 1880. l went into the sheep
business in a small way. My few sheep
were cared for by my brother with
his larger flock. l know that when
cold 'northers come unseasonably, lit
tie lambs must have care that means
all day and all night watchfullness,
and l have fed hot milk to these shiv-
ering things, wrapped them warmly
and kept the fire blazing in the big
kitchen fireplace until it was safe to
return them to the sheep fold. Our
business did nicely until congress
passed a new tariff bill directly af-
fecting the wool schedule. A few
months before that law went into eff
feet, we sold our sheep to good
Democrat and invested in cattle.
Then we plowed up our pastures
and went into cotton raising, and the
white fields of Imperial county have
unusual interest to me, and l know
what that proposed cotton schedule
will mean to the producer. We sold
our cotton lands some years ago and
coming to this state, invested in a cit
rus ranch at Lemon Grove, and ! un-
derstand how the removing of the tar
iff now on citrus fruits would likely
mean red ink to the grower, and short
ly would transform our Italy of Amer
lea" into gray hills and common barley
fields.
Because of my experience, | know
the problems of the wool growers and
cattle raisers of Mono and Inyo coun-
ties, the cotton raisers of Imperial and
the fruit industries of the other coun-
ties in this sun kissed Eleventh con-

ReactiOnaries for Wilson

Knowing that Taft will be a bad
third in the race, many reactionary
Republicans, in the hope of defeating
Roosevelt, will cast their votes for
Wilson. Based on careful inquiry to
our local leaders, l estimate 10 per cent
of the Taft vote of four years ago will
go to Wilson Roosevelt will receive on
an average, GO per cent of the normal
Republican votes. III some localities il
will go as high as rs per cent; as in
California. Kansas, Idaho, Maine, por-
tions of Michigan, Indiana and Illinois.
Based upon the foregoing premises
as to general conditions and upon the
kilograms received by me from every
Progressive state chairman, now
make the following prediction as to the
outcome of the balloting November 5:
"Of the $4,000 cast for Taft in
1908, approximately:
Roosevelt will receive 60 per cent
4,6O7 400.
Wilson will receive 10 per cent
767,9OO.
Taft will receive 80 per cent?, ,3OS. =
700.
Total, 100000
"Of the 6,4O9, 900 votes cast for Brvan
in 1908, approximately 100000 were
cast by the so-called foreign vote Of
the classes above mentioned. Wilson
will lose at least so per cent of this
vote-amounting to a loss of 100000
Roosevelt will receive go per cent
or 100000.
Taft will receive 25 per cent. or
5000.
"Debs will receive IS per cent, or
10000
