MANY ILLEGAL NAMES
 ON EIQUOR PETITIONS
Action May be Taken to Pre- vent Bill Going to the Peo- pie For a Vote.

Little Rock, Sept. 5.-Inves- tigations that have been made of the petitions for the repeal of the State-W Wide Prohibition law, according to the officials of the Arkansas Anti-Saloon League, indicate that fully one half of the signatures are ille- gal. Not all of the verifications have been completed, but enough has been done to show that if illegal and irregular signatures were eliminated, there would not be enough names left for the initiation of the bill. Just what course will be taken by the League will not be decided for several days yet. There is a disposition among some of the leaders to let the bill go to a vote, mak- ing public the illegalsignatures to show what steps the saloon interests have taken to gain an advantage while others favor going into the courts to secure an injunction against the bill on the ground of irregularity.
 Here are few of the in- stances that have been discov- cred of glaring irregularities in the petition:
 In Pulaski county 5905 names were secured, of which PISA are said to be legal, B. 137 illegal and 584 the sig natures of persons residing in other counties; of 1899 sigma lures in Sebastian county, 704 are illegal and 128 reside in other counties; Union county, 49 of which 24 are illegal Per ry county, 136, of which TO are illegal; White county, 68 of which 35 are illegal; Hemp stead, 57 or which 29 are ille- gal; Prairie, 223, of which 82 are illegal; Arkansas. 632, of which 308 are illegal; Lincoln, 34, of which Is are illegal; St. Francis, 24S, of which 132 are illegal; Crittenden, AZ, of which 30 are illegal.
 The Investigations are being continued in other counties, and everywhere the ratio is being maintained. In Jefferson eoun- ty, it is found that majority of the signers are negroes.

MIR EDWARDS STATEMENT ABOUT THE PRIZE FIGHT"

Mir. Editor.-Allow me to say a few words in reply to MT. Detherow's item in the Re- cord last week.
 MT. Dethrow said that New ark had picinc and that there was a brutal negro prize fight pulled off on the picnic ground and that the people who had charge of the fight were in church every Sunday. He said also the negroes got $15 for fighting.
 I'll show to the people where Mr. DethroW misrepresented things. Some people call it mis- represented, some call it a mis- take and some call it a lie. When 1 tell about this the people, l believe, will say it's a lie. The fight was not pulled off on the picnic ground it was pulled off in my horse lot. It was not a prize flght-they never fought for a prize. They never got $15. All they got was a black eye. was the referee and the one that had the fight pulled off, and l haven't been in a church house in two years. I just got home from a section of Cali fornia where they have church es only for negroes and Social ists. Yours truly
