A Thief In Matter of Love.

 Special to Independent. Little Rock, Jan. 27.-"You are quite a thief, for you stole my love from Frank before l knew it." This is an excerpt from one of the numerous love-letters introduced in Federal court in the trial of the suit brought by Frank Withers of Memphis a. gainst James H. Pryor, ST., the president of the Ashley County Bank at Hamburg, for damages in the sum of $6O, 1000 for the a. lienation of the affections of Mrs. Withers. This letter was dated July 29, last, after the separation of MT. and Mrs. Withers.
 Mrs. Withers is beautiful woman of about 25 or 30, while MT. Pryor is more than twice her age. The letters that pass ed between them, many of them read in court, are full of the most endearing terms, and she is frequently addressed as My Darling Myrtle" One of the lines of the defense is an allegation that MT. Withers and his wife entered into a con- spiracy to extort money from Pryor. The case is being heard by Judge Trieber without jury.

Volunteers Build Roads .
,necial to Independent.

Special to I1luepelloollC'
 Adelaide, Jan. 27.-This sec tion of Jackson county, under the leadership of our popular and progressive overseer IS talk ing an active interest in better roads and many citizens of Bar ren township have donated sev- eral days to the building of bet ter roads.
 Rock was hauled for two days each by w. H. Hef1iington, Char
 lev Western, E. G. Winchester and for one day by MT. Bosteen, John Owens, Mack O'Brien, MT. Donahue and Samuel Dawson.
 Each man hauled an average ot about ten loads per day and a.
 bout two hundred yards of good
 rock road was built over what had been a very bad section of road.
 This good roads work was contributed to by B. H. Heffilng- ton, H. Blevens, A. J. Winches- ter, Henry Scoggins, Bud Whit low and R. c. Winchester, each of whom hammered rock for
 two days and R. G. Mccall, w. H. Hayes, Miles Mccall, Charley |Loady, Bill Taylor and MT. Sims put in one day each at this pub- 1 lie work.

Attempted To Wreck Fast Mail,

St. Louis, Jan. 27.-An ob- struction of ties was placed on the track of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern Railway, in the suburbs of this city early today in an attempt to wreck the southbound fast mail train, No. 7.
 The engineer applied the e. mergency brakes and stopped the train as the pilot of the en- zine touched the pile of ties.

petitioners merely sought to
 throw the burden of proof upon remonstrants.
 Judge Stuckey stated that un- der the law all petitions were re-
 garded as one petition and that
 one petition in following the re- uuirements of the remOnstrants, removed their ground for demur- Ter. He further attacked the constitutionality of the Going act, as violating Amendment 1XIV of the federal constitution, because a negro's right of petl- tion is abridged and other citi- zens are disqualified as witness es because the law would give this privilege to a special class. He further argued that nine tenths of the people of this city get their mail addressed to Newport, Arkansas.
 Judge F.. l.. BOyce made a strong argument for contention of remonstrants, declaring that the county judge being an ad- ministrative officer in a case of lthis character, must follow the letter of the law, that this court had no right to pass upon the |constitutionality of the law, and lthat petitioners had no right to attack it, when their proceeding was brought under it's provis- ions. He held that three-fourths lof our people get their mail at Jour people get their mail at their their homes or stores and that this constitutes thepostoffice ad- dress. He cited the publications made in Pine Bluff and Little Rock, as showing these address, es must be given and declared l that the failure of petitioners to do so, was because they did not dare to give the addresses of many of the signatures.
 1 MT. Grant answered the last |speaker upon the right of the county court to pass upon the constitutionality of the act, to which Judge Phillips replied.
 Judge Coe then made his rul- ling that Newport, Arkansas, |constituted the postoffice ad- dress of the petitioners and complied with the law in a city of this class, where most mail is Addressed to residents that way. The court in overruling this bart of the demurrer, upon which IremOnstrants had centered their attack, did not pass upon any other issue raised or contain led in the demurrer.
 1 With this much progress made, lthe next point raised was as to lthe validity of the publication of the names of petitioners. At- Itorneys for remonstrants filed a motion to quash the purported lproof of publication, on grounds that the published list did not contain all the names upon the lpetition and that it also con- tained names not upon the peti- tion. P. H. Van Dyke, as pub- Ilisher of the Independent, in (which paper the petition had lbeen published, was used as a Iwitness to establish what list of names had been published. T. P. Umsted and R. T. Sim Iinons were also examined upon the points involved in this mo- tion to quash the proof of pub Ilication and before the issue had lbeen argued, court adjourned for the noon recess until 1:30 o. clock.

Court Quashes
 License Publication
On Ground That Published List of Petitioners Did Not Con-
 tain all Petition Signers.

At 3:15 o'clock Wednesday af- ternoon, after nearly two hours of argument by counsel, Judge C. B. Coe quashed the proof of publication in the petition for license in the city of Newport and thus ended the court contest upon the present petition unless another publication be made set ting forth all the names in the license petition.
 What course the applicants fo license will pursue, is not known, but the action of Judge Coe will probably mean that Newport will continue dry, unless the Co., ing act is held unconstitutional by the courts
 The validity of the publication of the license petition had been attacked upon several grounds chief of which was that some of the names of petitioners, who were found to be living outside of the city limits, had not been published in the list of signers.
 The result came as surprise to the crowd present, who were cautioned by the court not to manifest their approval or dis pleasure. Attorney Grant ask ed for re-hearing, but the court refused to entertain such mo- tion and stated that he could only proceed further upon re- publication of the petition in ac- cordance with his construction of the law.
 Thepetitioners for license won first blood in the ruling of the court that the addresses furnish ed in the various petitions con- form to the requirements of the law, which has made the con- test for license a spectacular fight in all the leading cities of the state.
 Every inch of the waywas close ly contested by opposing counsel and the interest taken in the is- sue is plainly shown in the crowd of men and women, who attended the opening session ot court Wednesday morning. Court was convened promptly at o'clock by Judge c. B. Coe and to accommodate cousel and spec tattors, the hearings are bel held in the circuit court room.
 G. l.. Grant and Judge M. M Stuckey represent the petition CTS and for the prohibitionists, Phillips, Hillhouse & Boyce, Jones and Campbell are attor- neys.
 The first move made was a de- murrer entered by remonstrants to the petition, comprising fom points:
 1. That petition does not comply with the law as to sigma lures of witnesses, where party could not write his or her name.
 2. That postoffice addresses of petitioners are not given.
 3. That the forty-one peti- tions do not contain affidavit. that each petitioner signed in presence of witnesses, who car ried petitions.
 4. That petitioners names as published do not give postoffice address of signers and witnesses.
 Judge Phillips opened the ar gument in support of the demur- Ter, reviewing the various points of same and giving the author ity which lay with the county

Washington, Dec. 5.--Italy joined
Great Britain today in her protest
against the Arizona state law which
these nations claim violates treaties
in the respect that it discriminates
against their subjects in the United
State.
The protest of the Italian govern
ment was filed by Count Macchi Gel
iere, its ambassador. Soon thereaftee
Secretary Bryan went to the White
House and had long conference with
President Wilson. On the return ef
Secretary Bryan to the state departs
ment, he found awaiting him Baron
Chinda, the Japanese ambassador.
Secretary Bryan refused to discuss
either the conference at the White
House or his conference with the Jap
anese ambassador All Of the state
department officials are now main
tanning a similar dense silence on this
important issue. The Japanese am
bassador, on leaving the state de
partment, would say only that there
were Subjects of Japan in Arizona,
hut would not admit that any new
protest against that states discrimi-
natory law had been made by ia
pan.
Most of the officials believe that
the present situation created by ia
pan, her ally, Great Britain, and
Italy, has in it all the clements oC
grave trouble if the protests are
pressed to the point of getting ar
carly answer from the United States.
What the nations are endeavoring =
get from the United States is a de-
iaration as to how far thc fcd,1i
government is responsible for the acts
| OF Arizona.
The attitude of Italy was explained
to be similar TO that which she main
tanned in the celebrated Italian lynch
ing cases. That became so acute al
cne time that state department off
ci&ls regarded it as almost impera-
tive that a statute should be passed
whereby the federal government
should assume sponsibility, which Il
could not thea or now do withou.
interfering with the rights of the
state. Italy at that time, through
Baron Fava, then minister TO the
United States, took the ground that,
as she could not deal directly with a
state Of the Union, she would hold
the federal government responsible IL
the lynching cases.
1t is hinted very broadly today that
England, Japan and Italy are now
taking that same ground, and that
the United States is expected to make
final answer. What the response
win be cannot even be foreshadowed
today. The issue is the same as that
involved in the protest Of Japan 10
the United States in the California
alien land matter. .
The United States has not made
yet any answer to Japan which has
satisfied that nation and it seems now
that the developments in the Arizona
law issue will revive Japan'a activity
