HARCRpW8. STATEMENT. Editor Arkansas Democrat In the court reports of. May 5. 1905, there was mentioned th -name of E.

Harcrow, who keeps a store near Six teenth and Wolfe streets, and that he would be tried in police court on the charge of receiving property stolen by boys throughout the city; that he was fined 115 on a charge of violating the license ordinance by neglecting to make report of junk and second-hand goods purchased as required by law. Now, will you do me the kindness to publish the following In Justice to truth and to myself? In the first place I was subpoenaed to appear in police court as witness againstt some petit I was placed on the witness stand, sworn and His honor remarked. I fine you $15." I said to the court: "I am not On trial. I have never been ar rested or arraigned before the court for trial." I was then placed un der bond for my appearance before his honor to answer -to other -charges of grand and petit larceny, and not be ing acquainted with the workings of this court, aroused a suspicion in my mind. the court was prejudiced against me.

I was advised to take a change of venue, which was willingly granted by my paying $1.25 in each of three charges, and the same was transferred to Justice and were continued several times for want of witnesses that could not be had. At the time set for trial some of them were on the county farm, convicted of petit larceny, and others had left. Those on the farm paid their fines and did not for some cause appear in court I was tried before Justice El lenbogen, and with all the falsehoods of the thieves and the sharp, shrewd work of detectives, his honor found no evidence to convict, thereupon I was discharged. I am a grocer. I do not deal in junk nor second-hand goods, and never bought an article of stolen goods in my life, knowing them to be stolen.

I defy any man, woman or child to show where I have ever done, a dishon est act in all my dealings in Little Rock in the last fifteen years. I re fer rou to such men as uus Blass Sandefur-Jullan Co.Lasker Wolf and many, others with whom I have been dealing for years. The whole truth of this matter is that It is a blackmailing scheme. There are certain parties high in offi cial circles who wanted accommoda tion, and did not get what they wanted I feel thankful to Justice Ellenbogen for weighing the evidence and rendering a fair and impartial ver dict, also I feel grateful to T. E.

Helm, assistant prosecuting attorney, for the fair "And impartial manner in which he "'did his duty, as is1 required of a prosecutor. He did not leave any thing undone nd I believe that he will fully endorse the action of the court. E. HARCROW. Hagerman Pass Is one of the crown ing glories of the Rocky mountains.

Denver. TRIBUTE TO A GREAT MAN Monsignor J. M. Lucey on Life and Career of Judge 0. VV.

Carroll. The Rt Rev. J. M. Lucey, monsig nor, of Pine Blurt, pays a beautiful tribute to the late Judge David W.

Carroll, who died at his home in Little Rock last Saturday morning. He says: Judge David Williamson Carroll, who died at Little Rock early Saturday morning, 24th inst, was a type of what is rapidly passing away and what is best expressed by the term, 'old school southern His urbanity and politeness to either sex was so marked as to be noticeable in a changing and business age like the present Had he been a nobleman of high rank ot a foreign country he could not have at all times shown more artless nobility in his intercourse With others. This characteristic grew out of his lofty conception of Uwhat an American gentleman should do. 11 came aiso in a measure irom the consciousness that he was a Mary-lander by birth and belonged to the family of Charles Carroll of Carroll-ton, who was esteemed an American gentleman, sans peur et sans reproche. "These few lines will give the key to his whole life.

Nothing. dishonorable, nothing lowly, nothing vulgar entered into the makeup of his- character. It mattered not whether he was enjoying the happiness of, comparative wealth, as was the case Just previous to the civil war, when hia suburban home at Pine Bluff was one of the notable residences of- the city; or when struggling with the pangs of comparative poverty, as when the war had closed and there was nothing its represent his beautiful home 'except several thousand dollars of-Confeder ate money. Though too old to begin life with the vigor belonging to youth, he was young enough In ambition and energy to- lay a foundation on which to build a career that led him to one of the highest positions of honor and trost in Arkansas, that of chancellor of the state. His long life of ninety his large and estimable family, and hia admirable social qualities show that he was a man of a high and noble type, such as marked the character of many of the.

pioneers of Arkansas. "There were perhaps two things in which Jndge Carroll took special pride; one was tha he had been -a Confederate soldier. and the other was 'that he was a CatholicTbe 7Jt. flVL 4mI! grateful to his ears than that of judge or of any other title. As colonel of a ly as senator in the Confederate con-tress.

his cast of character caused him to feel that the cause for which he sacrificed so much was Immortal." naturally, in all regarded his official reer aa one of the hit his after life he Confederate, ca highest The United States government hag awarded the contract for 9,000,000 rounds of ball cartridges to three firms, all of which offered the same bid. In awarding the contraot Gen. Crozler of the ordnance department dwelt upon the significant fact thaf there was no competition among the bidders, and that the price was vert high. Incidentally he recommends the establishment of private planes where experiments can be made in the manufacture of ammunition. It is hardly necessarji to point out that the uni formity in bids by the three firms to which the contract was awarded clear ly Indicated an understanding between them.

CAR FENDERS AT TEXARKANA. The traction company of Texarkana is resisting the city authorities in the demand that fenders be placed on the street cars. An ordinance has been adopted requiring these safety appl-ances, and the street railway company refuses to comfily with its provisions. It is understood that litigation will follow. Meantime the traction company will be held responsible for any accidents that may result while It has no fenders, and the city council will, perhaps, find a means for.

impressing the company with the wisdom of complying with the law promptly. The plan to have every good Democrat pledge himself to attend the Democratic primaries and vote for the best man at the next election would probably bring out about thirty thousand votes that have hitherto remained away from the polls. The stay-at-home vote is largely responsible for the mistakes that are made in the selection of unworthy men as public officers. When every citizen does hir, duty there will be fewer mistakes to answer for. The excessive rains will reduce the size of the cotton crop.

The crops are already late by reason of the rains earlier in the season, and in many lo calities it' will be found necessary to abandon entire fields of cotton to the weeds and grass. Those who are fortunate enough to have their crops reasonably clean may congratulate themselves on the prospects. It Is practically certain that the price of cotton will advance when the condition of the crop becomes generally known. The beef Investigation at Chicago lias extended over several months, and there are no appreciable results thus far. These fruitless inquiries will play out before the next national campaign opens, and unless the people are more forgetful than usual they -will recall the grandstand plays which the Republican party has Indulged regarding the enforcement of the anti-trust laws.

The Co-Operative Christian Federa tion has incorporated at Portland, with a capital stock of $50,000,000. It is needless to say that the most, if not not all of this capital is simply on paper. The exploitation of these corporations has a tendency to lessen the value placed on great concerns by the public. President Roosevelt is said to have taken a hand in the Moroccan affair, and his friends are claiming that his friendly Interference will probably prevent a war between France and Germany. It will be a tame affair in deed where President Roosevelt does not find sufficient Interest to impress himself upon the parties at issue.

Congress may want to know just how far the recent order of the president concerning the admission of Chi nese to this country extends. We have an idea that the influx of Chi nese to all parts of the country by the time congress reconvenes will make this question a very pertinent one. It would be unjust to say the people have grown into the habit of looking for sensations at the hands of the board of railway assessment. The ad vances of the past few years and the litigation that has followed have, however, furnished a live topic in political circles. Several points in the state are offering inducements for the board of penitentiary affairs to locate the reform school on sites which they agree to furnish, and if Little Rock wants the school it is time to decide on what we shall offer to get it Labor on the cotton' plantations of Arkansas is so scarce at this time that the planters would be glad to have even a Chinese "gillie" if he could hoe cotton.

Little Rock will make a serious mistake if she permits the Karcher Candy Factory to go to Memphis. We need this and all other similar enterprises to make Li tie Rock a great city. Little Rock may have had a streak bad luck in her contests with other members of the Southern League this year, but Nashville has also bad a leaning to the bad. The dynamiter and the anarchist are not wanted In Arkansas. We much prefer peace-loving citizens who pursue their vocations in a legitimate manner.
