WILSON'S CASE IN
 THE SUPREME COURT
Arguments Made In Contempt Case of Editor of the Kansas City
 Star.

Jefferson City, Mo-, May ,3.-ArSu' ments in the contempt of court case against William R. Nelson, editor ant owner of the Kansas City Star, were to be heard at todays session of the Missouri Supreme Court. The case is on appeal from Kansas City, where son County Court found Mir. Nelson guilty of contempt and sentenced hin, to a day in jail.

DEMOCRATS RATIFY WOOL PROVISION Raising Of Sheep Under Proposed Duties Will Be
 Profitless. VOTE WAS 1o8 TO 75 SFleep Industry Will Be Entirely Killed iH DEi0--WOOIs Gheap-
 CT in London.
VOTE WAS 1os TO 75

Washington, May 3.-Putting the consequences squarely up to the president of the United States, the Democrats of the House, by vote of 1SS to 75 today ratified the free wool provision in the Wilson, Underwood tariff schedule, which imposes duties on manufacturers of wool. In the de- bate it was established that,
 Under the proposed duties the rais- ing of sheep for wool only, will be profitless The industry will be en- tirely killed ill Ohio. Woois are cheaper ill iLondon than in Boston, despite President Wilson's statement to the contrary. The Wool Trust is given the advantage of tariff protec- tion while the sheep grower must compete ill a free trade market. Dut- ies on the lower grades of woolen cloth are placed at a higher figure in their fight for protection. Demo- crats of Ohio, Indiana and other sheep raising sections who oppose free wool, took no part in the de- bate, and were not present for the vote They will go on record when the bill comes up in'the House On it's final passage. Roll call wifi he4 had then on free wool, free sugar and oth- CT disputed items of the bill.
 Representative Murdock and othe. progresisves supported the Democratic schedule. Defending the Underwood schedule, Representative Francis Bur i ton Harrison, of New York, said that man who buys custom-made cloth One of the greatest advantages of free wool, he insisted, would be the as surance to the man who buys the $S and $10 ready made suits, that he caI get one of wool and not one made out of shoddy and cotton. Where the price may not be lowered he held out the hope that better material would be used.
 Underwood was defeated tonight in an effort to take bituminous coal from the free list and made it dutiable at 1 forty cents a ton. Mondell, of Wyom- ling, said that free coal would enable Canada to supply the markets in Mon- 1 tana and Idaho, now use Wyoming coal. Canada imposes duty on Am erican coal.

PRESIDENT AUGUSTE
 OF HAITI DEAD
PASSED AWAY AZ PORT AN PRINCE FRIDAY NIGHT AFTER
 BRlEF ILLNESS.
Went Into Office Last August, Sue ceeding General Cincinnatus
 LocOnte.

Port an Prince, Haiti, May 3.-Thc president of the republic of Haiti. General Tancred Auguste, died at 9 o'oclcok last night after abrief illness.
 The National Assembly was con- voked to elect a successor as chief eX- ecutive. Four candidates were prepar- cd to present their claims-Judge Luxembourg, former minister of the interior Michael Oreste, a prominent senator General Beaufosse Laroche, minister of war, and General Beliard.
 In official circles and among the general public the opinion prevailed that General Beliard would obtain the nomination.
 Quiet has reigned everywhere since the presidents death, but precautions against any possible outbreak ,Tcre immediately taken.
 President Auguste had occupied his office only since August last year He succeeded General Cincinnatus Lecote, who met a tragic death to- gether with four hundred officials and soldiers in a fire which destroy ed the palace on August 8. It was reported that at that time he had been the victim of intrigue, but noth- ins was official revealed to confirm the story.

no grounds for the issuance of all injunction and he dismissed the pc tition.
 The attorneys for MT. Collier have been sparring wildly and have never yet sustained any contention made against the Free Bridge. 1t is abodt time for them to throw up the sponge." Theirs is hopeless case. They have no foundation for any fur ther legal action and they can oly appear in selfish and spiteful light by continuing their weak attempts.
 For the sake of the progress and future of Pine Bluff and Jefferson county they ought to bow to the Will of the majority and be good losers, instead of displaying a revengeful spirit that will accomplish nothing.

BE GOOD LOSERS

Tie Free Bridge controversy is at an end. The decision of Judge J. M. Elliott in the Jefferson chancery court on Friday afternoon, when he referred the attorneys for MT. Collier to previous lewiston of the Arkan sas Supreme Court, i'll which the same contentious had been disposed of by that tribunal. and denied them an in junction against the Free Bridge Commission, ends for. alls time the long drawn out, useless agitation against the propular project.
 Notwithstanding the fact that MT. Collier and his lawyers say that an- other appeal will be taken in the case to higher court, with hopes of eevn- tuaIly realizing their ambition, to hlock an improvement that has been endorsed by large majority of the property owners and residents of this city ard county, no announcement of such intention on their part was made in open court, which is custo- mary in such proceedings.
 Learned lawyers, who have watched the Free Bridge fight and given it careful study from every legal stand Eoint, say that any further effort on the part of Mir. Collier to shatter, tho legal features of the special improve. ment act, which have been repeatedly declared constitutional by the county and state courts, will be entirely use- less and that nothing can be done now to prevent the building of the Free Bridge and the perfection of the improvement district authorizing it. have viewed his fight good naturedly. Some of them have admired his stay ing qualities, and while they disagreed | ith him in the matter, they have granted to him and his few followers the privilege of an American citizen to believe as they wished, just so long as they were conscientious. But to display any spiteful disposition now, after the courts have repeatedly lAled them out, would be unbecomins and would amount to naught.
 In past months serious charges haze been made by the opponents oi the Free Bridge to, if possible, accom- ilish their end. Honest men, men who have done more for Pine Bluff than any others in a public way and who have for years enjoyed the res poet and confidence of their fellow townsmen, have been unjustly critic ised and accused of unfair methods. It became at times almost unbearahlc, Eut for sake of reaoe and harmony within the confines of the county and city these men have remained silen; and have exhibited confidence in the courts to refute the charges made.
 The Free Bridge work has been iE progress for some weeks and it ought to proceed without further delay. Dur Ing all the agitation and court pro- ceedings Pine Bluff and Jefferson county has suffered for lack of this needed structure. The Bridge ought to be built as rapidly as possible and it will be, even though Mir. Collier might attempt to check the work by further legal efforts in the courts.
 No fraud was committed by the Commission in declaring a majority for the Free Bridge. The decision was reached after careful count of the signatures approving the forma- tion of the district. Judge Elliott heard every word of the testimony and he declared that no fraud had been shown and that there was absolutely

Which Side of the
Fence
Are You On?

During the past few years,
the industrial progress and
growth of this country has
been nothing short of mar
velous. The increase in the
population of our large cities
has been tremendous. AS as
consequence, the consuming
or non-producing population
is increasing much faster than
the producing population.
This condition has upset the
economic ratio of supply and
demand, especially in the case
of agricultural food products
milk and butter, and
prices have gone to an almost
unheard of level.
The consumer pays the
bills. The producer reaps
the benefit. He has the ad-
vantage.
If you are a consumer, why
don't you turn producer? In
stead of letting the high cost
of living prove a hardship,
why don't you turn it into a
real opportunity?
If you don't get a good
start on the road to Indepen-
denceville, now, while the 60
ing is good, you can't blame
anybody but yourself. Your
Uncle Sam will give you a
farm. The rest is up to you.
1t won't cost you anything
to post up. Let me send you
a copy of our Free Govern
ment Lands folder. 1t con-
tains a lot of information that
is interesting and valuable,
some of which may surprise
you.
