LITTLE ROCK PAYS
 SIX CENT CAR FARE
NEW ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK, HAS BEEN ACCEPTED BY THE TRACTION COMPANY.

Little Rock, May 19.-The Little Rock city council passed anothe or dinance last night granting the Little Rock Street Railway Company au- thority to increase passenger fares from five to six cents.
 Mayor Brickhouse signed the ordi- nance today and it is reported that the street railway company will &C., cept it at once.
 The company declined to accept the first ordinance on account of severe provisions relating to increasing it's equipment. The new ordinance elim- mates the objectionable features.
 In the ordinance the company re- serves the right to go to the council whenever it may deem the exigiencies of the occasion require and ask for further adjustment of fare rates. and it is specifically provided that the company's acceptance of the measure will not in any way abrogate its right to surrender its franchise if it deems 1 it expedient to do so.

LATEST MOVE MADE BY
 COUNSEL IN RIOT CASES

Little Rock, May 19.-The latest move in the Elaine riot cases is an effort on the part of counsel for the convicted negroes to carry the cases to the supreme court of the united States on certiorari.
 Murphy & McHaney, Counsel for the defense, yesterday applied for a transcript in the eases of the negroes originally convicted and confirmed by the supreme court, preparatory to fil- ing their petition in the Supreme Court of the United States for a pe- tition of certiorari. While the ground upon which the petition is to be filed is not stated, t is believed the writ is to be sought on the grounds that there were no negroes on the juries which tried themen

PRICE CUTTING
 WAVE GAINS
 IN MOMENTUM
CHICAGO MERCHANT SAYS THE STORES ARE TRYING TO SAT- ISFY PUBLIC DEMAND FOR LOWER PRICES.

Chicago, May 18.-A wave of price cutting in retail clothing costs reach ing from the Mississippi Valley to the Pacific coast was reported today. Dis patches from A cities in that terri tory tol dof promised reductions in these necessities ranging from 15 per cent to minus profit.
 Financial authorities here said in- dications were the price decline would be limited to ready-to-wear clothing, principallywo mems garments and silks. Shoes were in the list affected.
 Tight money and inadequate trans portation facilities were cited among the prime reasons for the mercantile movement Delays in deliveries of goods in which much money had been tied up, together with inability of farmers to get grain and live stock to market were said in many instances to have worked hardship on mer- chants.
 An officer of one of the leading de- partment stores of Chicago declared that the price reduction now being reported meant also that merchants were trying to satisfy what he called hysterical demand from the public for lower prices" These current re- auctions, he said, might be only tem- porary.
 Afinancial authority hehe said that if reports of price cutting were de- pendable they indicated tendency to- ward reduction in inventories Though this might be temporary, he said, it was undoubtedly good, in that it suggested that merchants were go- ing ahead more cautiously. Sales are being held under various names.

 AND GENERAL MANAGER

Little Rock, May 19.-At meet ing of the executive committee of the Arkansas Division of the American Cotton Association yesterday, D. c. Welty.

He will enter at once up on his duties and with Dr. George L.. anSds, the state director, will put on an intensive county campaign for membership throughout the state.
 B. F. Bush, president of the Missouri Pacific, is convinced that the asso- citation offers a field of genuine ser vice to the farmers of the state, and has sad that he is willing to permit MT. Welty to give the work so much of his time as may be necessary to "put it over"
 The special committee on Coopera- tive Marketing appointed at the Mont gomery Convention was in session at Memphis yesterday developing prac- tical plan that will give the Associa- tion definite objective for the bene- fit of the farmer. Arkansas was rep resented at the conference by Dr. Bradford Knapp and Adolph Felsen- thai.

 In he campaign to be made in the state on behalf of the Association, the questions of cooperative marketing and warehousing are to be empha- sized above all others.

through it's center, shadowed by
groves Of trees. This valley was
nearly square, possibly extending not
over a mile in either direction, merely
a great hole trimmed by desert, a
strange, hidden oasis, rendered fertile
and green by some outburst Of
fresh water from the rocks. Emerg-
ing upon it in midst of the barren
desolation through which they had
been toiling for hours, blinded by all
kali dust, it seemed like some beau
tiful dream, fantasy of Imagination.
Miss Donovan doubted the evidence
of her own eyes, half convinced that
she slept. It was Moore's voice which
aroused her.
"Mendez must have got back, Joe" :"
he said eagerly. "There are horses
and cattle over yonder."
The other pushed up the canvas and
looked out.
'That's right. The fellow is comm
now-see?"
He was Looping along carelessly,
Mexican from high hat to jingling
spurs, sitting the saddle as though
nodded there, young fellow, dark
faced, but with livid scar along one
cheek.
"Juan Cateras, the little devil" /"
muttered Skies, as the rider drew
nearer There's some pot brewing if
he is in it."
The rider drew up his horse, and
lifted his hat, his smiling lips reveal
ing a row of white teeth.
"a pleasant day, senor," he said
graciously, his dark eyes searching the
faces of the two men, and then dwell
ing with interest on the woman. "Ah,
your pardon, senorita; your presence
is more than welcome here" He
rested one hand on the wagon box,
the. expression of his face hardening.
"Yet an explanation might not be out
Of place-the Senior Mendez may not
be pleased"
''We came under orders from Lacy" /"
replied Moore confidently. "You have
seen us both before"
True, but not the lady; you will
tell me about her?"
Skies climbed down over the wheel.
"It is like this, senor," he began.
Lacy did not know your party was
here; he thought you were all south
for another month yet. He would keep
this girl quiet, out of the way for a
time. She is from New York, and
knows too much"
