TWEEDY REMOVED
 BY CITY COUNCIL
HE OFFERS NO DEFENSE
TERRORIZED INMATES OF TEN DERLOIN RESORTS, ACCORD
 ING TO WITNESSES.

Little Rock, March 28.-Polce Judge w. M. Tweedy was convicted on gross immortality charges yester- day and removed from office. Twenty one charges were filed against him. four of which were withdrawn. Jus tice of the Peace Frank Martin was chosen to fill his unexpired term.
 Judge Tweedy was tardy in arriv- ing before the committee, and when he did arrive, he rendered his resigna- ton which was immediately rejected.
 Witness after witness appeared and charged the police judge with one of fense after another. According to the testimony of the women brought be- fore the council, he frequently roam ed through the red light district in a Berserker rage, striking and assault ing the unfortunates, who stood in awe of his power and influence as judge of the city court. In nearly ev- cry instance they swore he was ac- companied in his midnight revels by Milton B. Rose, local lawyer, whose capacity seemed to be that of guide, counsellor and friend, and who drew up the papers which passed the pro- prietorship of the resort at 212 Cum berland street from the hands of Mary Todd to Clara Jones.
 Following the action of the city council, D. E. Bradshaw, chairman of the Democratic city central commit tee, last night issued a call for the Democratic city central committee to meet at the city hall tonight
 At 6:15 o'clock City Clerk Frank Oliver read the charges and called the roll on each one separately. The al dermen voted II to o on all of the 21 charges, the four articles mentioned lby Mir. Hale being rejected.
 Alderman Mccain offered resolu- ton that Judge Tweedy be impeached removed from office and barred from holding any office under the city gov ernment, in accordance with ordi. nance No. 1892. The resolution was adopted unanimously.
 |! Alderman Hollis then offered res olution that, inasmuch as Judge Twee dy no longer can hold office under the city government, in accordance witt ordinance No. 1882, that the Demo cratic city central committee be re quested to seek to have his name talk. en from the ticket, and some other candidate certified as the nominee This resolution also was adopted unanimously.
 A resolution was passed instructine | the clerk to furnish Judge Tweedy with a certified copy of the proceed. ings, and Frank Martin was elected police judge to fill out the unexpirec term without opposition.

MANY PRISONERS
 SENT TO LEYEES
IN VIOLATION OF LAW
ATTY.-GEN. MOOSE BELIEVES PEOPLE WILL COMMEND
 COMMISSIONERS.

Little Rock, March 28.-In open violation of the law, backed by the acting governor and attorney general, the Arkansas Board of Penitentiary Commissioners will send 200, or as many convicts as can be spared from the state farm, to the aid of the St.
 Francis levee board in saving the levees on the Mississippi river. The convcts will be ready to leave the
 farm today, and will go to Warner, thence to McGehee or Pine Bluff, to
 be taken to the point designated by
 President o. H. Kilough of the levee board.
 President Killough sent urgent messages to Acting Governor Futrell and members of the penitentiary com
 mission Thursday afternoon, asking
 for convicts to help protect the weak
 places in the levees. As the law re- quires all convicts to be Worked on the state farm, and prohibits leasing
 of conviets in any way, the commits sioners appealed to Attorney General W. l.. Moose for advice He inform ed the commissioners the law is very plain, but as this is an emergency, he thought the people of the state would commend, instead of condemn, the ac- tion of the commission if the convicts were made use of in fighting the ris- ing waters.
 Acting Governor Futrell, when ap- pealed to, also said the law was plain, but the only power the governor had in dealing with the penitentiary com mission was to appoint it's members, and in case they did not do their duty to remove them for cause. He would not consider the violation of the law, such as taking the prisoners to the levees to protect property of the state, but one for approval.
 J. A. Turner of Jonesboro, a form CT member of the levee board, called on Acting Governor Futrell in the afternoon, and with the aid of map, showed him all the weak places in the levee, and urged assistance. After the conference Acting Governor Flu trell sent message to the war de- partment, requesting permission to use tents now in possession of the Arkansas National Guard, to give shelter to flood sufferers in the east ern part of the state.
 While he was settling this question, Attorney General Moose also inform ed the penitentiary commission that while the law required the working of all convicts on the state farm, the act did not contemplate that the protec- tion state property was to be with drawn, and he did not consider it ille- gal for the commission to work a 1 of the convicts at the state heating and lighting plant, and others to do janitor service at the state cap tol.

Jonas Hanway was an tnveterate foe to tea and wrote a pamphlet la which he ascribed the majority of nervous disorders to tea drinking. He declared that the practice was sapping the vigOr of Englishmen and spelling the beauty of women and expressed horror at the fact that no fewer than six ships were employed in the China tea trade. Dr. Johnson, who reviewed HanWayss dia- tribe in the Literary Magazine prefac- ed his criticism with the frank aVoWals ''The author is to expect little Justice from a hardened and shameless ttit drinker, whose kettle has scarcely time to cool, who with tea amuses the even ing, with tea solaces the midnight and with tea. greets the morning." but even he admitted that tea drinking was not good for the working classes, as be thought it an inducement to fdleness- London Chronicle.

Labor is the one at the most seri- ous disadvantage. By labor I mean all who toll for wage. Labor knows of the disadvantage. Capital knows of it. and each knowing it has main tained strained relations at a time when if the wrong were lighted the good will of, each would be strength ened and promoted.

Washington, March 11-Secretary Of State Bryan faced trouble in the shape of President Gomez of Cuba over the threatened wholesale Jail delivery and Bryan won. Secretary Bryan sent a vigorous protest against the amnesty bill by telegraph on the very day he took the oath Of office. His statement showed that this government could not tolerate the proposed liberation in Cuba of hundreds of criminals without any other reason than the desire of President Gomez and his supporters. What this government ,nbjected to particularly was the provision of the bill that would have allowed Gomez to pardon before trial persons in the government service and others whom,
 according to the report of the incom- ing president, General MenocaI, wants
 to prosecute for wholesale grating and corruption. Charges that these alleged =gfafters had footed the Cuban treasury interested the United States, which has degree of supervisory
 power over Cuban finances % In the face of this protest from Bryan an nouncemet was made at Havana that President Gomez had approved the amnesty bill. It is supposed that Secretary Bryan renewed his protest in even more vigorous terms and caused President Gomez to change his reported approval of a veto.
