will support MIN as far as his business
will permit. But that he will actively gen.

endure for two weeks. 1t is believed that
as soon as the declination of Mr.. Neshitt
reaches him he will hasten to announce
another who shall serve him in the ca
pacity of manager.

ing statement:

MASS MEETINGS.
SCHEDULED TODAY
Union Labor Men May Not
COnfine Discussion to
Dismissal of Wood

If the efforts of certain leaders who
have long been connected with organized
labor bear fruit. there will be a mass
meeting this afternoon at the Jefferson
theatre for the purpose of discussing tho
recent dismissal of Clement r. Wood
frcm the bench of the recorders court.
To the unsacking of the erstwhile young
judge, 1t is understood that the leaders
will not confine their discussion. Latest
developments are to the effect that GER
tain other matters will be put upon the
griddle. 1t is related very quietly that
there will be reference to the compare
lively recent absorption of the Peoples
Telephone company by the Southern Bell
Telephone and Telegraph company. It is
whispered too, that a few remarks will
be addressed concerning the alleged ac-
tior of the Birmingham Railway. Light
and Power company In aiding in inducing
a certain union organizer to retire from
the city limits.
4nasmuch as these leaders do NOT ex-
plain the, connection, in case there In q nv
between the dismissal of the late re-
corder, and the city's deals in telephones
it is gathered that practically all the re-
cent events in municipal history will be
reviewed.
Although up to the present time very
little general interest has been dtsn,a Yea
relative to the. scheduled mass meeting
1t Is. understood that the leaders In tha

AN UNEXPECTED TURN.

Little Rock, June 13.-Another Hot Springs tangle has been strengthened by Gov. j. M. Futrell. The grand jury of Garland county indicted a number of officials for nonfeasance in of flee, and Constable Langford, of Hot Springs, was among those removed. Justice of the Peace H. Hinton was appointed constable in his stead. w. M. Housely was appointed justice of the peace to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Hinton.
 Later the indictment against Langs- ton was dismissed and he resumed his office. This left Hinton high and dry, without office of any kind House. ly was tired of justice of the peaceing and sent in his resignation, with the request that Hinton be restored to of flee. Gov Futrell is not without a sense of humor, and when he received the statement of affairs, promptly re- stored Hinton his job of assisting Gu pid and preserving the peace.

could not sell an inch of ground, but he did not say special bill could be passed by the next legislature author izing Pine Bluff to sell this ground and spend the proceeds from same for beautifying our park This would on- ly delay the matter one and one-half years. Besides this the learned alder man knows the council does many things not according to the strict let ter of the law.
 The meeting last night as everyone knew it would be, was simply an Ed en Park meeting called for the one purpose-to consider one proposition.
 The Graphic does not feel like it's any way bound by the actions of less than fifty people and that our council will look at it in the same light and select the park where the best offer was made and where the city can have a real park without a cents tax or single donation.

Little Rock, June 13.-The removal of Dr. A. c. Millar, president of Hen dirk Colelge for a number of years, to Oklahoma, creates a vacancy on the Arkansas History Commission, and as soon as the resignation of Dr. Millar is received, a successor will be ap pointed. It is probable that Mons. J. M. Lucy, of Pine Bluff will be appoint ed by Gov. J. M. Futrell, as he is a pioneer resident of the state, and has taken quite part in making the states history. Several members of the commission have recommended the appointment of Mons. Lucey.

EDEN PARK MEETING.

In pursuant to d call from Alder man Sorrells about 30 Eden Park sup porters met last night at the Chamber of Commerce, and re-endorsed anoth- CT proposition from the owners of that land. Messrs. Holderness and Clark agreed to give the city free of debt 50 acres with improvements that has all ready been made. As previously stat ed this was a call for meeting of the Park Committees at which the public was invited-but the object of the meeting was never stated and on- ly those on the inside knew why it was called.
 At the meeting new proposition was submitted-put to vote and carried-without even doing Messrs. Rhodes and Haverty the courtesy of asking them if they desired to submit another proposition-or even advising them of the object of the meeting.
 The Graphic contends and so stated before the Eden Park meeting that we believe in locating the park in the end of town making the best proposition to the city-whether it be in the South, East or West End.

IN THREE STATES

The year following presidential election is generally looked on as an off year in politics, a time for deep breathing and of rest from campaign ing says the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
 But in three states this is not the case at this time. Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey are to hold elections this year, the result of which will mean much to the Democrat, party that has so recently taken hold of the reins of government. For in a way these elections will speak pop- ular approval or disapproval of the present administration.
 In Massachusetts there is feeling of unrest as to the effect the pending tariff bill will have on the states manufacturing interests. This unrest is being actively fermented by the Re publicans, and if they can sufficiently impress their views on the voters, the state offices will be filled with Repuh- licans, and the Democrats will be turned out to gaze' in such scanl pastures as they can find. The best chance for their continued success is the division of the opposition into the two camps of Republicans and Bull Moosers
 Coming on to New Yetk we find the state torn with dissensions over the direct primary question which has engendered strife between Gov. Sul- ger and the leaders of Tammany. The other acute question is the election of a mayor for New York city. The Democrats must win both of these points in order to hold the state strictly in line.
 will come in New Jersey, where a state ticket must be chosen. This is President Wilson's home state, and d rejection by it of Democratic officials would mean home-discrediting of his administration. His figh. with James Smith has not made easy sled ding for him ill his state, and so the outcome of the coming elections will be very definite pointers as to how his Washington administration is looked on by his former close neigh bors.
 There are to be other state elec- tions during he year, but they fall in common-wealths where the outcome is assured. It is these three pivo.al points that will be watched this sum- mer and fall with nationwide inter- est. A loss of -eyen one of them by Democracy would be a misfortune; l; the loss of more than one would mean a black eyc' for the party and it's big policies.

 Governor.

Little Rock, June 13.-After mak- ing an investigation of the complaint of Walter Klatt, German citizen who claims he was run away from his farm by mob in White county, and that he was shot in his flight, Gov. J. M. Futrell has reached the conclusion of the trouble. Gov. Futrell has talked with the Sheriff of White county about the case and he 600 was of the opinion that Klatt had told she truth. Gov.

 The sheriff of White county was Of the. opinion that the members of the mob desired to secure possession of Kla,t's land. The officer stated he had endeavored to secure evidence against the men but had failed, and offers to assist Klatt in a prosecution if he can identify any of the men.
