TAKE ACTION ON
GAS RATE. PROBE
City Council Places Ordi-
nance on Calendar to
Secure Regulation.
RATE AND PRESSURE,
Tentative Measure Holds 1t Must Be
S.Ounce and Failure to Maintain
Will Constitute a Misdemeanor.

Tentative action looking toward the
solution of the so-called high gas rate
and alleged low pressure, was taken
last night by the City Council which
passed on second reading and placed
on the calendar a measure, providing
for fixed rates and penalty for failure
to keep proper pressure.
According to the provisions of the
ordinance, if passed finally by the
council. The Pine Bluff Natural Gas
Company will be required to maintain
a minimum of at least an S-ounce
pressure. The second provision is
that there shall be maintained =
guage so that any domestic consum-
err shall be able to see at any time
just what the pressure amounts to.
The third provision is that on
failure to maintain an 8-ounce pres
sure, the gas company shall charge
only for the month, 80 cents per 1000
cubic feet up to 5000 cubic feet, and
for quantities over 5000 cubic feet
shall charge at the rate Of % cents.
AS means Of remedy it is pro-
posed that failure on the part of the
gas company to maintain such pres
sure, shall constitute misdemeanor
punishable with fine of SIS and that
each day Of neglect to maintain that
pressure shall constitute distinct Of
Tense. This pertains to domestic US
ers of gas, not that used by manu-
featuring plants and users on a very
large scale.
Alderman w. B. Sorrells, after the
bill had passed second reading, NOV
ed that it be placed on the calendar,

CONTINUED ON PAGE EIGHT

To the Prohibitionists of the City
OF Pine Bluff have been told that
my opponent, Mr.. Lucas, of Lincoln
county, has been trying to create the
impression in the minds of some OF
the leading prohibitionists here that
he is a prohibitionsts of fine qualities,
hoping thereby to gain their support
In his race against me.
County Judge w. H. Harvey of Lin
coin county told me that he had been
asked about Mr.. Lucas prohibition
record and had told the gentleman
who approached him on the subject
that he didn't know very much about
it except that two years ago, when
he opposed Mr.. Lucas for his second
term as County Judge and over
whelmingly defeated him, about the
only votes Lucas got were whiskey
votes, and that's a matter of common
knowledge in that county.
And there's another thing. About
three years ago, great many COM
plants were made to Mr.. Nixon, who
was then Prosecuting Attorney, about
the way saloons were being conduct
ed at Gould, in Lincoln county, and
he and l. in conjunction with the
sheriff of that county, and his depu-
ties, one night raided those saloons,
We found they were operating wide
open gambling houses, with other
conditions existing that were bad
enough, to say the least of it. The
proprietorss Of the saloons were con-
victed for exhibiting gaming devices.
The usual provisions was in their Ii
quor license that this meant a revo-
cation of them by the County Court,
Mr.. Lucas was then County Judge OF
Lincoln county. He not only did not
revoke those liquor licenses, but was
employed as lawyer by the saloon
proprietors to defend them on the
gambling charges. .
Prohibition or no prohibition. Il
hardly think it's proper for a public
official to allow himself to be paid to
represent issues that are directly OPP
posed to his sworn duty as an officer.
Very respectfully,
T. G. PARHAM,
Candidate for Prosecuting Attorney.

TAKE OFF HATS TO
STATE OF ARKANSAS
Chester w. Taylor Says That Arkaa-
sans Are Accounted Powerful
in Washington Circles.


Chester W. Taylor, private secre-
tary to his father, Congressman Sam
uel M. Taylor. arrived in the city yes
terday morning to spend some time
at his home.
He has been in Colorado for sever
al weeks as the clerk of the special
committee which has been investigat-
ing the mine troubles in that section
"There is one thing certain" stated
Mr. Taylor yesterday afternoAa, CAR
kansas is not taking back seat to
any other state in Washington, The
people there like anything that comes
from Arkansas. and it would tickle
you to see the New Englanders take
off their hats to the Arkansas repre-
sentation. They know we have a
great state, and they want to be ON
the good side of us. There is no
more laughing at Arkansas. The more
you hear them talk the more you ap-
preciate the state. have Travelled
all over the United States since l left
home, and believe me. have never
found anything like my old native
state.
about the Colorado mine trouble,
/ can only state that the Ave members
of the Congressional committee have
not been able to agree upon a YER
dict You can look at it one day and
it seems as though the blame is all
one way, and then the next day 1t
looks as though the blame should be
on the other side. As one sizes up
the situation, all are in deep sympa-
thy with the miners. A great deal of
the trouble is not chargeable to eth
er the miners or the operators, but
to the militia, which was in some in
stances in the hands OF irresponsi-
BILE persons"
Before leaving for Washington
again, Mr.. Taylor expects to visit Hot
Springs and Little Rock. He was
formerly assistant in the office Of
Secretary Of State and later In the
State Treasury department, and Il
very popular in the capital city.

he was pardoned by Gov Donaghey
It is thought that he had been impli-
Gated in a number Of crimes, among
them murder, but which were never
completely fastened upon him.
Chief Fiveash has been a member
of the police force for several years
and has always been regarded as a
fearless, yet conservative, careful Of
ficer. He is quiet, unassuming, gen.
tlemanly and took the step Sunday
night only when he believed that his
own life was in danger. There has
not been a word of censure over his
act, and on the other hand, there
have been many who congratulated
him for it.

When writ of prohibition was
sought yesterday by the prohibition
lists before Circuit Judge A. B. Grace
to prevent County Judge C. NJ. Phil
pot from trying the liquor petition
case, drastic action was taken by the
circuit judge, who quickly gave out
an opinion that he had not jurisdic-
ton In the case at all.
He held that the power of the
county Judge in reference to hearing
and passing upon the liquor petition
was supreme as much so as the pre-
diction Of the Supreme Court in
cases which come before that tri-
bunal.
The petition asking that the county
judge be restrained from considering
the old liquor petition was filed with
the Circuit Judge by Attorneys W.
B. Sorrells and J. NJ. Shaw, who have
been representing the prohibitionists
in the fight which has been MADE
against the saloons.
Judge Grace held that a restrain
ing order was equivelant in this case
to writ of prohibition and that the
Circuit Court had no authority in this
case to take such an action, as the
Going Law laid down the procedure
in the handling Of the cases. Judge
Grace also said that he had previous
" look up all the authorities and
that be was convinced there were
none in the support Of the contem-
plated action in his court.
Attorney Sorrells after this de-
cision had been given by Judge Grace,
declared that he was at loss as to
how to proceed and the Court, as a
side issue Of the matter said that it
might be we'll for him to consult ex-
pert legal advice to determine his
status.
Case Is Due Today.
Unless there is some unforeseen
difficulty, the hearing OF the liquor
petition will be taken up before

Washington, March 16.-Diplomats
are specializing as to just what the
outcome will be of the inquiry that
has been ordered by the Senate into
the reported speech of Walter Hines
Page, the American Ambassador to
England, in which he defined the
Monroe Doctrine in way that caused
no little mirth at the annual dinner
of the Associated Chambers of Con-

was quoted as saying that 1.-The Mon
roe Doctrine simply means this:
That the United States would prefer
that no European government should
gain more land in the New World"

PHILPOT TO ACT.


Asked hate last night in regard
to rumors circulated, it Is claimed,
by some Of the prohibitionists,
that there would be no hearing on
the liquor petition, County Judge

y NO one has consulted with me
In reference to there not being a

"FrOm all indications, the hear.
ing will be taken up at planned.

County Judge Philpot this morning at
nine o'clock. Both sides have an
nounced that they are ready for the
hearing and some of the witnesses
have been summoned for the hearing.
Just how long the hearing this time
will require is not certain but it has
been said that the County Judge will
not indulge in a long hearing as at
the former trial of the case and that
he will seek to economic time in
every way possible. While 1t is not
known what action will be taken it
is believed that he will be asked to
place a time limit on the hearing so
that the attorneys and those inter-
ested in the case may know just when
there is to be an end of the hearing.
1t is probable also that the Court
will be asked to pass over the hear
ing Of the names nthe old petition
on the ground that it has been al
ready threshed on and that it will be
needless duplication, and a wanto
waste OF time. If this view is taken
by the Court, there will likely be a
hearing on only the new or added
petition which was secured as an ad-
dition to the old one.
The decision handed down by
Judge Grace was blow to the pro-
hibitionists so far as taking the case
out of the hands of Judge Philpot, or
creating further delay is concerned.
1t makes it comparatively certain
that the case will be taken up this
morning and that there will be an
early decision of the case in some
manner.
Judge Grace did not pass upon the
mandamus proceedings in which it is
sought to compel Judge Philpot to
render decision on the old petition.
Claiming that the petition has been
gotten up in the best possible shape
and that those errors in it are such
as will occur in the preparation of
any document containing large
number of names and addresses. the
liqror petitioners feel confident tina.
they will be able to present mapor-
ity o. the names of the white adult
inhabi, ,nts of the city this time. They
hold that all due care possible has
been exercised and those errors which
may occur are not those of inten,
but rather such which come about
naturally in securing a petition con-
tanning so many names. 1t is held
that there may have been some
changes of residence since persons
signed, but that does not invalidate
their claim to bring a resident or
their wish to sign the petition.
The prohibitionists claim that they
are ready for the fray again, al
though they are entering it with
first round lost to them. With the
new petition admittedly in better
shape than the former one. they will
not have the means of attack as be-
fore.
1t is expected that the hearing will
attract much attention aud that the
hearing will be attended by large
crowds. At the former hearing the
COURTROOM was throngsd at nearly
every session and it is expected that
such will b the case this tims.
