court last fall and the ordinance was sustained. It was expected an appeal would then be taken to cir- cult court, but the parties interest ed permitted the matter to drop.
 Recently W. J. Mcdonald, Jr., was arrested for carrying passen- gers to the fair grounds without first having paid the tax required by the ordinance. He was fined $15, and by agreement the fine was held up pending the disposi- tion of an appeal. The case went to Judge Driver on an agreed statement of facts, and this morn- ing he held the ordinance was val i'd and the broad construction placed upon it's provisions was reasonable and within the authori- ty of the city.
 Attorneys representing McDon- aid asked for a new trial, which was overruled. An appeal was then taken to the supreme court, and Judge Driver granted attor- neys for Mcdonald one hundred and twenty days in which to per- feet the appeal.
 Under the decision of the court all owners or operations of auto mobiles or other vehicles used for hire in Paragould are subject to the tax of fifteen dollars, even though the destination be outside the city limits.

ALL j., |. (. AND E.
 TRAINMEN STRIKE
Walk Out, Declaring That They Have Suffered Unjust Treatment
 From Officials.

Jonesboro, June 2S.-All tl:e trainmen, 3S in number, Of the Jonesboro, Lake City and Eastern railroad, walked out Saturday morning. General Manager G. M. Gaty, knowing that the strike was coming, had men to take out all the regular trains Saturday. Pas senger trains Nos. 3 and 4 have been annulled, and during the strike passengers will be carried on freight trains.
 The trainmen declare they struck because they have been treated un- fairly by the master mechanic and because they should have better wages. Officials of the railroad say they cannot pay better wages, as the road is losing money.
 Assistant Grand Chief Corrigan of the International Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, has been here for a week trying to settle the differences. The trainmen say they had agreed to withdraw their de- mand for increased wages when the president of the road, R. E. Lee Wilson, assured them he would see that subordinate officials did not mistrea employees. They say when they presented an agreement to that effect to MT. Wilson and ask ed him to sign it, he refused even to read it.
 The strikers declare they will not return to work until they are given a hearing.
 General Manager Gaty says that trains have been run regularly and that he believes the trouble soon will be adjusted.
 The strikers include engineers, firemen, brakemen and conductors.

Shame on You, Casey.

Pyatt, Ark, June 25.-A. W. Casey, a farmer, who lives near here, sued Mrs. Bridges, a widow and a farmeress, in J. o. Ledbet- ter's court, the local justice court, for rue bargain in horse trade that was consummated short time ago. The case was tried yes terday and Casey won over his fe- male opponent.
 When Casey parted with a well secured note for $90, he didn't know that the nine year old nag that he led home with a halter was subject to fits. It was only short time, however, until he discovered that the widow was a better horse trader than he was. The horse periodically would pull off stunts that would outdo a trick horse at circus. The first payment of $45 came due and he paid it under protest. When the balance came due he baked and sued The court decided that the horse was worth the $45 he had already paid and released him from paying the bal ance.

COURT DECLARES
 ORDINANCE VALID
Judge Driver Upholds City Statute Taxing Vehicles Carrying Pas
 sengers for Hire.
(From Tuesdays Daily Press)

(From Tuesdays Daily Press)
 A much -mooted question that has been the subject of endless controversy and some litigation was at least temporarily settled this morning when Judge w. J. Driver upheld the validity of a city ordi- nance imposing an annual tax of fifteen dollars on automobiles and other vehicles that carry passengers for hire.
 The ordinance was passed more than year ago and for time it's provisions were made to apply to only such automobiles or vehi cles as carried passengers from one point in the city to another point in the city. Later City Attorney Cecil Shane construed the ordi- nance to cover the transportation of passengers to the fair grounds or other points outside the city limits, holding that the business originated in the city, and that this brought it within the meaning of the ordinance imposing li- cense for transporting passengers for hire in Paragould."
 Promoters of the Greene coun- ty fair and owners of automobiles resisted the payment of the license. Livery stable operators, whose busi- ness has been seriously encroached upon by individuals using motor vehicles in competition with the stables, insisted on the broad con- struction of the ordinance.

KNOX BOOTH TELLS
 STORY OF BRIBERY
Former Revenue Agent Says He Received $12,000 From Moon-
 shine Still Trust.

Fort Smith, June 2S.-It is now officially admitted that Knox Booth, deposed superintendent of the Tennessee division of the inter- nal revenue department, has made a confession to his superiors that he accepted bribes from the moon- shine gang whose bold, broad day light wildcat operations came to an end here recently. Booth, in his confession, says he was paid be- tween s10,000 and $12,000 as a reward for his silence. Booth was attending United States court in Memphis, Tenn, when he read a dispatch in newspaper announce ing the fact that a warrant had been issued here for his arrest, charging him with conspiracy in connection with the gigantic frauds. He remained in seclusion several days and then went to At lanta, Ga., where for about 10 days he remained at the home of John F. Serber, former chief of the Georgia internal revenue division, who was taken into custody Saturday on an indictment returned here, charging him with conspiracy in the case. At Atlanta arrangements were made for Booth to surrender at Montgomery, Ala, where he re- mained in jail several days before he was able to give bond in the sum of $25,0O0 to appear before the United States court here last Monday. Following his release on bail he sent word to Washington that he was enroute there and that he had a confession to make. Up- on his arrival in Washington he laid bare the ramifications of what is declared to be the greatest fraud of it's kind ever perpetrated against the United States.
 Leaving Washington, Booth came here, arriving in Fort Smith last Tuesday. He is understood to have
 Bourland, United States district at torney for Western Arkansas. At
 least, MT. Bourland's office has a copy of the confession.
 i Booths first bribe was $500, he says He fought against accepting it and claims he only took the
 money after we'll laid plot re- suited in his getting intoxicated. Booths confession, it is stated of | ficially, was given voluntarily. He
 was not promised immunity nor clemency and neither has this been suggested to him, it is stated Booth
 admits in his confession that he always suspected he would be ex- posed.
 It was the intention of the gov ernment authorities to keep Booth S confession a secret until the trial of the moonshiners in October. For tnlS reason, they assert, they used
 every precaution to prevent his presence here from becoming
 known and also his visit before the
 grand jury now Investigating the frauds. It was arranged that Booth
 should stop at leading hotel, but
 should not register there.
 Attorneys representing other de fendants in the case and newspaper
 men were told by these officials that Booth was not in Fort Smith
 However, his presence here was established and resulted at once
 in rumors that he had confessed. It also became known today that

 OBJECT OF ATTACK
Scores of Citizens Sign Paper Pro- testing Against Re-0pening of
 Dens of Vice.

(From Tuesdays Daily Press.) )
 Although there is no legal way open for the suppression of pool and billiard halls, hundreds of cit izens of Paragould believe the law of public sentiment is higher than the written statutes, and last Sun crystalize public sentiment in a vigorous protest against the re-op- ening of pool and billiard halls in Paragould. Yesterday morning sev- eral parties began the circulation of papers containing strong express sions of disapproval over the at tempt to reopen pool and billiard halls in Paragould, and by the close of the day between three and four hundred names had been at tached to the papers. The caption of the documents follows;
 "We, the undersigned citizens of Paragould, Ark, hereby protest against the re-opening of pool rooms in this city, because they are an unmixed evil, encouraging idle ness, vice and crime; because they hold out to our boys the tempta- tions of profanity, cigarette smok- ing, gambling and liquor drinking; because they are the home of the professional gambler, bootlegger and habitual criminal; and be- cause they are menace to the peace, morals, prosperity and hap piness of our homes and communi- ty. We hereby pledge ourselves not to rent our property for pool room purposes, and to oppose the

re-opening of pool rooms in our city by every honorable and legal means at our command"
 It will be remembered that ear ly last fall the city council passed an ordinance suppressing pool rooms in Paragould after January 1, 1915. Two months later the state supreme court, passing upon similar ordinance appealed from Dardanelle, held the city council had no right to suppress such places; that the council could pre- scribe regulations and restrictions and impose reasonable license, but could not close them up unless the owner or operator persisted in violating the laws of the state or the restrictions contained in the ordinance under which he was op- erating.
 Recently it became known that half dozen parties intended to open pool rooms in Paragould, and the city council immediately in- structed the city attorney to draw up an ordinance prescribing the restrictions and fixing the annual license. The ordinance, which was introduced and read one time at a meeting of the council ten days ago, fixes the license at $25 per table. It is understod several members of the council are in fa- vor of an amendment making the license $50 for the first table and $25 for all other tables. It is probable this amendment will be offered on next Monday night when the ordinance will come up for consideration.
 In the meantime public-spirited citizens who look upon the pool rooms as source of much evil are calling upon every man who is op-
