MAYOR FINES THREE
 ON GAMING CHARGES

Three men were fined $25 each in the court of Mayor w. D. Cole late yesterday on charges of gaming. They were Frank Schichtl, Baird Nix on and A. L. Halter, and the mayor also assessed a fine of S25O gainst the latter on charge of permitting gamb- ling to take place on his premises. Alb Jones was before the court on the same charge, but there was proof that he had not engaged in any game and his case was dismissed. The mayor issued warrants for Charley Antoine and George Brown on similar charges. Antoine submitted in the court of Jus tlce J. z. Bailey, but Mayor Cole said the submission was after his war rant had been issued and the defend ant would be tried in his court Brown has not yet been arrested.
 With reference to the case, Mr. Halter said today that while they were technically guilty of gaming they were really playing only for pastime, the stakes being only pen nies and nickels. He said he consid- cred the fine assessed by the mayor excessive and unjust and believed that after more mature consideration the mayor would remit it.

l see in Thursdays Daily Log Cabin Democrat E. L. Smith appeals to you, as wilful and corrupt an appeal as I had forecast he would do just before election, thinking it would be too late for me to reply and refute any dis honorable or false statements that he might make. He says his friends ad- vlsed him as to what 1 was saying about him. He very well knew what l was saying without his friends ad- vice, for l mailed him one of my speaking dates, charging him with drawing road funds in his own name. and allowing himself claims for in specting the road after drawing his full salary, in violation of section 1

of article 16 of the constitution of the state of Arkansas, which he swore he would support. Now, if he wants to deal honestly with the voters why did he not meet me? I approached him at the S. G. Smith corner in the city lastFriday, telling him that I would speak at the courthouse the next day at 2 o'clock, and that if he would meet me and show where he had au- thority to draw road funds in his own name and allow himself claims for inspection of roads after drawing his full salary, l would withdraw from the race and say "Amen to Bro. Smith" Did he do this? No, he shrunk back like a political coward and said he did not have time, that he had to go home, but I see he has had time to spend two or three days in Conway this week. He says that l falsely state that he stood in with county officers and cites you to sec tion 1890 of Kirby & Castles Digest allowing postage stamps to county officers. Now, let's see who tells the truth. This applies to confederate pensions only. Section 1890 says, Immediately after the adjournment of the county pension board, and not later than the first day of August of each year, the county clerk shall for ward to the auditor of state all ap- pllcations which have been allowed by the board, together with proofs, and for all postage used under the provis- ions of this act he shall be paid by the county, and the county court is hereby authorized to allow his claim for the same" I only accuse him of allowing the circuit clerk postage stamps and phone rents, and not the county clerk as prescribed in this sec tion.
 He further falsifes by saying that section 1922 of the same Digest says that the shall have charge of the courthouse and grounds, and directs him to buy fuel for the courthouse and officers. Now let's see what that sec tion does say: Section 1922 says, "The several sheriffs are authorized and re- quired to furnish the fuel which may be necessary for use of the courts, and the clerks shall furnish all blanks, books and stationery for the use of same and does not say word about officers. He says he did not draw money out of the road district funds. Look at Bullion's record, page 69, and you will see that he drew SAP 62 from this fund. He says he drew out of funds to pay road commissions money with which to pay freight and express charges on grades and road machinery, and according to Bullion's record. pages 262, 263 and 264, he did draw S329.92 from this fund, but if his own county court record does not show that he allowed himself claims for express and freight charges on road machinery in excess of this amount then I will slgn lie bill; and if his own court record does not show that he allowed himself claims for inspecting the roads to the amount of $63692 I will quit the race.
