At The Theatres
THE ARKWAY.

In "The Wall of Flame" to be shown at the Arkway tonight, Bob Mayhew is a forest ranger and occu- pies the same camp with Rangers Fenton and Harlow. He is in love with Agnes, the daughter of Fenton. He has a rival in the person of George Harlow, the third ranger liv- ing at the camp. Harlow is dis charged for drunkenness and leaves.
 The next day Bob and the girls father are summoned to fight dis tant fire. They leave the girl in charge of the cabin. Harlow, in a spirit of revenge, lights fire which is carried by the wind in the direction of the cabins, thinking in this way to avenge his wrongs at the hands of the other two rangers. Later, how ever, he is trapped between the two fires, and having fallen from his horse and broken his leg, is unable to escape his just punishment. The girl fees before the encroaching flames, but becomes bewildered by the smoke and flames. She is about to be overcome when Bob returns and in a daring manner effects her rescue. :

POLITICS IS
 AIRED AT HEARING
GOVERNOR IS A WITNESS
EXECUTIVE DENIES VARIOUS CHARGES INVOLVING
 RACING BILL.

Little Rock, April S.-The defeat of the primary election bill and the passage of the Ruff bill for the ap- pointment of board of control for the state eleemosynary, or the veto of the Sawyer racing bill, was the ultimatium of Gov. c. w. Hays on the night before these bills were finally considered in the house, according to the testimony of A. J. Walls and George R. Bedding, in the mandamus hearing before Judge Guy Fulk We'd nesday afternoon.
 In rebuttal, Gov. Hays took the stand and denied that he had ever interested himself in behalf of the racing bill, and that he had informed his friends who were working for it in the very beginning that he would veto it if passed.
 Representative Sam Rorex was the first witness of the afternoon. He testified that Gov. Hays had requested him to inform Speaker Sawyer that he need have no Tear for the racing bill in the senate, for he had that day talked to two senators who had prom ised him to support it and another who stated he might do so.
 United States Marshal Walls was the next witness, testifying that he had gone to the home of Gov. Hays with Sheriff w. G. Hutton of Pulaski county, and Sheriff Amos harmon of Phillips, who were very much inter- ested in the defeat of the primary election bill. The governor, according to Marshal Walls, insisted that the proponents of the racing bill get in behind the Ruff measure, which was to be considered in the house the fol- lowing day, and also that they de- feat the primary election bill, and un- less they did, there woul "be no rac- ing bill, even though it passed"
 George R. Bedding, the next wit ness, started with the visit of com- mittee from Hot Springs to Gov Hays to get him to recommend in his message to the legislature an appro- priation for the state fair, but this was withdrawn and the racing bill prepared as a substitute because of the financial condition of the state. MT. Bedding stated that at no time had he the slightest intimation that

rls called him out and requested to know what he intended doing with the racing bill, he informed him that it would be vetoed, which settled the matter so far as Senator Harris was concerned and ne made no further de- mands. He denied that he had taken an interest in the bill, or that he had spoken to anyone in it's favor, and that these interested in the primary bill went to his house to talk over amendments, at which time he did re- mark that if the Ruff bill failed to pass the next cay, and the election bill was defeated, there would be no racing act. He declared his only act that might be termed friendly to the bill was to discover for Judge Rolfe the attitude of Senator Harris on the measure. Gov. Hays declared that the appointment of R. G. Dye had been confirmed on Saturday, and in denying the statement of R. G. Beld- ing, testified that he did tell him on Saturday he had almost worked him. self up to the point of signing the bill, but would not give final answer be- for Monday.
 In the morning session Gov. Hays, Speaker Sawyer, Thal Bradsher, Sec retary Harry Stewart and R. R. Rice testified. Speaker Sawyer and Capt. Rice giving much testimony on the formation of the legislature and the progress of the bill, while Gov. Hays denied all allegations made by them.

, the governor would veto the bill if it was passed, though he had fears that the bill would meet defeat in one branch of the legislature. The wit ness further testified that he was call ed out of bed by Judge A. J. Walls, Sheriff w. c. Hutton, Amos harmon and B. J. Cunningham, politician of Helena, on the night before the Ruff election bills were to be considered and informed that if his friends did not kill one and pass the other, that the racing bill would be vetoed. He asked if it would not be satisfactory to have the election bill referred to a committee and allowed to die there, after which the committee withdrew to consider, returning to say that l nothing less than the deefat of the primary bill would be acceptable. MT. Bedding stated his friends then did as demanded by the committee, as shown by the records on these meas ures.
 On the Saturday before the Mon- day on which the racing bill was finally considered, according to the witness, he called on Gov. Hays and in the conversation Gov. Hays had in- formed him that he intended to sign the bill, but that he had not at that time even confided it to his wife. Mir. Bedding testified that the governor had reuested him to notify Wallace Davis, Thal Bradsher, James Sur ridge, R. R. Rice, Judge Rolfe, and F. F. Kitchens to be in his office at 3 o'clock Monday morning, at which time he would approve the bill and appoint the commissioners.
 When the committee called on Gov. Hays Monday morning, according to the witness, the governor asked them to come back at in the afternon, by which time the appointments would be settled and he would sign the bill and make the appointments. In the after noon MT. Bedding stated that the gov ernor asked all to go outside except Thai Bradsher and Judge Rolfe, after declaring that he would rather cut off his right arm than sign the bill He stated that the governor then signed the bill and received the congratula- tions of all, and no one doubted that he had approved the measure.
 The witness told of the bill going out of the office, and a short time after being brought back, with a de- nial that it had been signed. He told of visiting Gov. Hays in com pany with Speaker Sawyer, after Gov. Hays had gone home, hut they were given no assurance, and short time later he learned of the veto

THE SPOILERS.

The story is familiar. It tells of an ambitious but wicked attempt by a corrupt body of Puget Sound poli- ticians, in conjunction with weak judge of the superior court, to oust all the miners about Nome from their claims. Glenister and Dextry, part ners in the Midas mine come out to Seattle for the winter. Alex McNa- mara, the genius of the conspiracy, goes to Nome, imports his judge, in- stitutes proceedings to get the Midas mine into his hands through a court injunction. Helen Chester, niece of the judge, and Cherry Malote, young woman of Nome, play important parts in the development of the story.
