PR0HIS EXHAUST
 THEIR WITNESSES Issued Summonses for Oth- ers-Prove Some Illegal and Some Legal Signers. MASONS ON STAND Three of Them Ask That Their Names Be Withdrawn from Liquor
 License Petition.
MAsONs ON STAND

Three members of the Masonic lodge were among those who went in- to the Jefferson county court Friday. where Judge c. M. Philpot is hear ing the liquor license petition case, and asked that their names be strick- en from the list of signers for li- censed saloons. One of them proved that he had made a written request to the secretary of the Liquor Mems Association before January l, 1914, to withdraw his name, by presenting a copy of his letter. The two others however, made requests to other parties interested in the petition.
 Twice during the day Judge Phil pot was forced to adjourn court earl fer than he had planned because the witnesses who had been requested tc appear in court by Attorneys w. B Sorrells and J. M. Shaw, counsel for the Prohibitionists. failed to respond and Judge w. D. Jones, attorney for
 
 the liquor men, declared that it was an evidence that friends of the Pro- hibition leaders were not taking a lively interest in the fight.
 When the session was adjourned in the morning because the witnesses had been exhausted by the Prohibi-. ! ,tian attorneys, they requested that official court summonses be- issued for others and quite number were brought into court in the afternoon Again at 4:3O D. m. the witness list ; was exhausted and Judge Philpot ad- journed court until Saturday morning l at g o'clock. He ordered the Prohibi tionists' attorneys, however, to have their witnesses on hand promptly, as he said he would not hold an after noon session on Saturday.
 Minors Givee Testimony.
 During the day, as expected, the Prohibitionists introduced a number Df minors, who had signed the peti- tion and who admitted that they were under age. Among them were three little girls. Other witnesses were in (roduced who testified that their sons hnd daughters were under age and ad signed the petition. Still others eclared that their sons were of age md had signed.
 As Judge Philpot is not ruling on he names as they are disposed Of, 1t
 impossible to tell how many names rill be taken from the list, but he pled that where good reasons were iven and proof submitted to justlfy illegal names would be taken from be list. Although he has not made
 statement on the issue, it is re- brted that he will not consider the arning of the Masonic grand lodge
 its members to refrain from sign
 g the petition, sufficient grounds
 withdrawing names.
 Attorney Shaw asked the court to
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1914-01-17

make the negroes leave the court room, claiming that they were talk ing up too much room. He asked what interest they had in the case Judge Philpot said that he could not exclude them as it was public court room.
 Judge Philpot made it known to the attorneys that each side would have to bear the expense of witness fees, etc. He jokingly remarked that Eff the money runs out we'll have to close the case"
 The liquor men claim that they will win even should several hundred names be withdrawn from the petit tion.
 Sufficient Proof Withdraws Names. Attorneys w. B. SorrellS and J. M. Shaw caifed many witnesses during the day. Some of them were minors and it was evident that Judge Phil pot intended, after hearing sufficient proof to strike their names from the liquor license petition. Many others of the witnesses, however, failed to make good the purpose for which they were summoned and their names will not be taken from the petition, unless additional evidence to warrant it is introduced before the case is closed. However, Judge Phil pot is making no ruling in any of the cases. He will most likely sum up the evidence at the end of the hearing, fix his basis for the adult whitee census of Pine Bluff, personal l ly ascertain which side has major ity and render his decision accord l ingly.
 Judge Philpot is making the law yers thew to the line" in the matter of direct and cross examinatlon of witnesses. The rules of the courts and the law is being strictly adhered to and only testimony that is mater ial is being admitted.
 o. A. Dalby and Leray Duckett were shown to have signed the peti- tion and testimony tending to show that they were minors.
 Dr. A. c. Jordan. testified that re- cords at the Florence Sanitarium, se- cured when her mother was employed there, show Ceceelia O'Harn, who signed the petition, was born in Gin cinnati in 1899. Judge Philpot ruled that the girl or her mother would have to be presented as witness ro testify to her own age.
 A. G. Bedell testified that he re- quested R. T. Louthan to withdraw his name from the petition. He says Dave Berlin secured his signature but that he did not request him to take his name off the petition. He had two reasons for asking it, he said lone was that he had been convinced that his ideas in the matter were
 wrong and the other was that the Ma sonic fraternity had ruled that he. as a Mason, should not sign it.
 Leo Kastor testified that his son
 polph Kastor, who signed the peti. ton, was under age.
 c. H.. Puddephatt testified that he requested, in writing before Januarfy 1. that his name be withdrawn from the petition. Others signed the same request, among them his broth CT. William. Puddephatt- He said he laid the written request on Judge Philpot's desk during the Judges ab- sence from the office. Judge Philpot said he had never seen the paper and V. c. Alexander, to whom all such requests were referred, also

BASEBALL NOTES.

The Lewiston five. Cyr Walker,
Cloutier, Hodgkins and Russell, roll
ing in practice at the Park Street al
legs, Lewiston, Tuesday evening, broke
the State record for a five man team
by upsetting pretty total of 1854
But for the fact that two men dropped
in the last string. the 1860 mark would
undoubtedly have been reached. Two
fnen and three men teams were also
made up and good scores rolled. While
the five men team mark was made on
new pins and on regulation alleys. it
will not stand against the 1868 made
by Portland team, as the latter score
was rolled in competition. But 1t gives
a good idea OF the quality of the men
who will represent Lewiston at The
National Duck and Candlepin Congress
at Worcester.
Unless Georges Carpenter, the
French champion, gets $4,000 for his
end from the London promoter. he will
not go through with the match with
Gunboat Smith.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealing in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, April 30.-Quotations
moved upward decisively in the late
trading today, after several hours of
uncertainty. Until the final upturn,
which was accomplished by an out
burst of activity, trading was dull.
Most of the time the level of prices
was above yesterdays close, but the
market was disturbed by pressure
against some of the weaker stocks
and spectators were obviously group
ing about for a definite lead in one
direction or the other The needed I'M
pulse came in the last half hour in
the shape of circumstantfal reports
that control of Missouri Pacific would
pass into new and powerful hands.
This stock, which previously had
reached a new low point at Is IA. was
bid up nearly four points from the
days low mark and the whole market
advanced with 1t.
Conditions favored the market at
the opening. London had established
higher range of prices and bought
stocks here. General Carranzas ac-
ceptance of mediation gave a more
hopeful turn to Mexican affairs. Addi-
tional railroad reports for March in
most cases made a better exhibit than
in recent months. Under these in
fuences there was a general advance
in prices during the forenoon.
The higher level was utilizd for re-
newed distribution of. stocks, which
caused several recessions before the
market finally swung upward. Another
unsettling influence was the weakness
of the Gould roads. Rock Island Col
laterals and Debenture 5's sold at new
low figures, the former dropping to
80 Is. and the latter to 66 IL. Steel
also yielded under professional pres
sure. Recent reports of poor trade con-
ditions were emphasized by further
price reductions.
Prospects of strong bank state
ment and the improving outlook for
peaceful solutions of the Mexican
problem influenced the money market.
Offerings were larger and rates for
short periods were scaled.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales,
par value $1,415. 000ff. United States
bonds unchanged on call.
