They very prompt ly turned it down. resolution was adopted indicating that the sense of the meeting was -Iaat numerous pros pectlVe requirements should be met before an ybridge bill should be ap- proved for passage.
 Then, as ii to, in 8 measure, neu- trailze the force of the first resolu- ton, another was adopted in which a committee of three was appointed to ihke up further the proposition of obtaining a free bridge.
 The motion of A. B. Shafer, and which required the most of the day before Aeing adopfed. was as follows:
 Resolved, That it i the sense of this meeting that no bridge bill be approved for passage unless the same provides for an adequate and separ- ate wagon way and also for the pas sage of in erurban street railway cars over the same; that the grade of the approaches should not exceed three per cent, and that the approach es shall be supported by steel col umns uponS concrete bases to point from the bridge no more than 20 feet above the soil at the place of land inge; that the bill may contain "a clause providing for the transfer of the wagon way and approaches to the city of Memphis and Crittenden county, and in such even the rail- road and bridge company shall be re- lieved from any further liability of keeping said wagon way and ap- breaches in repair, and provided that after such transfer said railroad and bridge company shall noss charge toll for passage on said wagon way or approaches and that copy of this resolution be forwarded to our sena- tors and representatives,

 The suit is similar to the one filed ill the Jefferson Circuit Court by At
 orney Rcwell the first of this year. Before the case had progressed very far Attorney Powell took non-suit.
 The complaint alleges that it was due to the carelessness of the en- ploycs O. the defendant company that Sister Clal issa came to her deash.
 Sister Clarissa was a teacher in the local Catholic school. She was returning to the convent and had stepped from a west bound car and started to the opposite side of the str et when the east bound car struck her, inflicting injuries which result ed in her death few hours later.

ANOTHER NEGRO
 FUGITIVE ARRESTED
Deputy Sheriii R. H. Williams Effects Capture of Esau Miles. Indict-
 cd For Grand Larceny.

Deputy Sheriff R. H. Williams re- turned last night from the northwest part of the county, where he had gone to serve civil papers, and brought with him negro prisoner who has been wanted by the authorities since last March. That Deputy Williams is an able and wide-awake arm of the law, and one to be feared by fugi- lives from justice, as we'll as being thoroughly efficient in the clerical and civil duties of his office is shown by the manner in which this capture was effected. Esau Miles, the negro arrested, was indicted at the last term of court on grand larceny charge, but has been at large un.il taken in to custody yesterday. Deputy Sheriff Williams knew that the negro's home was in the district in which he had civil papers to serve, and when he reached his destination instituted a vigorous inquiry as 10 the negro's whereabouts He found him at home and had no trouble in effecting the arrest

BRYAN GIVES
 SI,000 10 FUND Sends Check to Wilson for His Campaign Elk
 penses.
WILL TAKE THE STUMP
Explains He Cannot Begin Speaking Tour Until First Week in
 September.

Sea Girt, N. J., July William J. Bryan has contributed $l,O0O to Governor Wilson's campaign fund The check for this amount was re- ceived from the Nebraskan tonight and it is accompanied by letter, the contents of which were not given out because it was of a personal and pri- vate nature
 MT. Bryan sent word to Michael Francis Doyle, his personal repre- sentative, that he regretted that he would not be able to take the stump for Governor Wilson until the first or second week in September. Mr. Doyle explained that the Commoner was looked for lecture tour up To that time and that he could not under any circumstances abandon this tour which meant considerable money to him.
 Governor Wilson spent the better part of the day at the state capitol at Trenton. There, in addition to at tending to official business, he receiv- ed a number of visitors. Congress man Mitchell Palmer, of Pennsyl- vania, undertook to explain way to the gocvernor the recent action of the Democratic House in rejecting the wo-battleship program. Mr. Pal mer said it was unfair to judge any group in Congress by his attitude to- ward any bill before that bill came up for passage.
 The group of congressman might be influenced in their actions entire- ly by what some other group might be dOing,' he said. One group might be asking too much, another group would ask too little, and finally a compromise agreeable to both sides will be reached
 The Democrats are going to dc the right thing on the battleship question:" he added. "The only fair way to judge them is to wait until the matter is finally voted upon.'
 Lewis Nixon was with the governor for some time and Governor Wilson afterward said that the political sit uation in New York state had been gone over and that the situation in that state was highly satisfactory Mr. Nixon denied that he had discussed the battleship question, "But,' he
 
 added, If you want my views, am in favor of the battleships, of four battleships per year. The more the better. Everything possible should he done to strengthen the navy. Fifty years of Republican government has driven all the American ships from the seas. Give us four of six years of Democratic rule and the suprem- acy of the American merchant marine will be restored
 Senator Mark Smith, of Arizona, and Senator k. D. Smith, of South Carolina, were also callers. The delegation of the United Negroes Democracy, of New Jersey. 9 strong, came to ask for equal justice with the whites. They read long list of "whereases" and the governor re- sponded in strong and tactful speech, saying he was Southerne1 born and raised and he appreciated and sympathized with the negro.

1t Must Be Genuine
Revision Says Clark

tariff tax Of between l65 ana 1921
per cent
Without going into wearisome de-
tails, Il IS safe to say that three
fQurths 81 an the tariff rates of the
Payne.Aldrich-smoot tariff bin are
aboys the maximum revenue-pgoducing
rates and should be reduced at least
70 a competitive point.
The truth is that the words a com
petitiye tariff are more easily underel
stood than the words a tariff for rev
enue only "a competitive tariff Is
one which would give Americans the
American market SO long as they sell
at fair prices, but would let in for
eign products II Americans undertake
to gouge Americans. A competitive
tariff would in practice be "a tariff
for revenue. The revenue can be in
creased more frequently by reducing
rates than by increasing them.
The present tariff. if thoroughly
overhauied, q Id be made 10 produce
a great deal more revenue and at the
same time not cost the taxpayers one
fourth Of what they now pay, for un-
der the present system where one dol
lar goes into the federal treasury four
Or five dollars go into the pockets Of
the tariff barons.
The rates in a new bill or new
bills should be fully as low as the
rates in the bills which passed during
this congress, and in some cases
lower.
All the talk about the Democrats
wanting to iniure business is abso-
luteiy preposterous
What we want to do is to give
every man an equal opportunity in
the race of life, ana not pamper few
at the expense of the many That
plan would foster every legitimate In
dastry IN The land and iniure none
That is one way ia which congress
can aid IN reducing the exceedingly
high cost OF living which is really the
most pressing, yexatious and import
amt problem with which we have to
deal. What the people demand IS
cheaper food, cheaper clothing. cheap
/ er necessaries Of life generally. and
any cuts in tariff rates which do not
/ accomplish that are not worth the
trouble and labor Of making.
The revision ought to be made
carefully, scientifically and in har-
mony with Democratic promises"
