GAME PROTECTOR DOES
NOT LIKE ORLANDO'S COAT

Orlando Nicholitti is in jail for
hunting without license and Jno.
Parfetti for hunting without being
naturalized. Game Protector Kin
ter B. Rodgers, of JOhnstown, and
Constable Enoch Miller, of Ebens-
burg, made the arrests Saturday.
Nicholitti was wearing a coat
several sizes too large for him. Il
bore a hunters license tag. Orlan-
do explained that he bought a big
coat because he expected some day
to be fat. Rodgers wanted to be
sure he had not borrowed or stol-
en- it and Orlando admitted he
took it from another man to wear
while hunting. Parfetti had no
good story. The pair had been
hunting several times during the
season. Guns and dogs were con-
fiscated, but the father of one of
the men claimed the dogs, which
were licensed.

Chicken for Christmas.

General Harry White, head OF
the National Ex-Prisoners of War
and former judge of Indiana coun-

though this had not been originals
~ planned at the White estate.
For some time the White domain
has been furnishing a large num-
ber of chickens to persons who
took chickens from the rooSt with
out the formality of asking the
owner. As there was a tendency
to raid the roosts just before
Thanksgiving and Christmas, an
alarm was arranged so that en-
trance to the chicken coops would
arouse workmen on the White
farm.
The alarm sounded. Joseph
Strittmatter, an employe of the
White home, responded and sur
prised dusky colored man wiring
ing the heads off of the chickens
and putting them into a sack. The
thief ran away This bag contain
ed eight fine chickens. Hence Gen.
eral White ate chicken on Christ
mas, instead of turkey.

POLITICIANS WERE
 UNIT AGAINST LAW
Pooled Forces in Opposition to New Primary Measure-Governor
 Aided Them.
(By A. w. Parke)

Little Rock, April 15-One thing, if nothing else, was demonstrated by the testimony in the racing bill mandamus suit before Judge Guy Fulk last week, that being that the primary election bill will hardly be campaign issue in the next cam paign. It was shown that the poll- ticians are against such a measure, and with this class opposing it and the rank and file of voters ready to listen to their dictates, no candi- date will run counter to their or ganizations and expect to be a win ner.
 The testimony in this case showed that Arkansas sheriffs had solicited the aid of Gov. Hays in the defeat of the bill, and that he had readily joined in the pressure which was brought to bear on the legislature. It was also brought out that B. J. Cunningham, sa loonist and political leader of Hell ena, was also one of those in Little Rock working against the bill. 9th CT testimony along the same line was about to be given when inter ruptions from attorneys who object ed kept the people of Arkansas from getting some interesting information concerning election manipulation.
 The issues in the next campaign will be state finances, and the man who can offer the best plan for putting the state upon a paying basis will be the highest man in the race. Prohibition, supposed to have been settled in the last legislature, will be also a factor. The millage system of taxation for the support of the state educational institutions will be another plank in guberna- torial platforms. and the old stand bys, good roads, new constitution and county rights, will be ever pres ent, but it would not be surprising to see one or more of the candidates take up railroad relief and find it popular. While many refuse to be- lieve it, there is sentiment over the state which is growing at an alarming rate of speed for anti Catholic legislation. In many sec tions this is already bitter, and it has caused the defeat of more than one democratic nominee in demo- cratic communities. It must be reck- oned with in a statewide campaign sooner or later, and it's time may come as a state issue in the next campaign.
