NUMBER \ 64.
ROGERS REPLIES TO DAVIS.
Terns His Insinuation of Drunkenness
False and Promises to be Present
Whether or Not Time is Divided
Little Rock, Ark. November 2.
._- Another clash between Gov
ernor Davis and Attorney- Gen
J ijral Rogers has been caused by
(coihe report that the governor in
~~ /a speech last Saturday said that
the attorney-general did not
meet him at that place because 1
he was drunk. Mr. Rogers, in
a letter which he addressed to
l Governor Davis yesterday, de
| dared that if the governor inti
r mated such a thing he intimated
f \ what he knew to be false.
V | The letter sent to the govern
fv W by Mr. Rogers was as follows:
h I ' November 1,1905.
k ' ‘Governor Jeff Davis,
Little Rock, Ark.
“Sir:-! am informed that)
you, in your speech at Melbourne,:
Izard county, on last Saturday, j
intimated that I did not meet:
you at that place for the reason
f-vT that I was drunk. If you inti
/' mated such a thing you intimat
/ ed what you knew to be false. I
r Knowing your disposition, how-j
/ ever, to mistake the truth, I am j
on)y surprised that you did not
mobn nlmrrrp nnfrirrVit
“I noticed in this morning’s
Gazette, that you, in your speech
at Batesville yesterday, intimat
ed that the reason I did not
meet you at that place was that
I was afraid to do so. If you
did this you knew when you did
it that it was false. I am not;
only not afraid to meet you, but
am more than willing to do so.
All I ask is for a fair division of
time, and I shall be glad to meet
you in every county of Arkansas
and we will let the people say j
whether or not I am afraid to!
meet you, and whether or not IJ
have cause to be afraid to do so. j
For your further information i
permit me to say that I am go-1
ing to meet you in some of the j
counties where you are to speak,
whether you want me to do so or
not, or whether you will grant i
me a division of time. ,
Respectfully,
Robt. L. Rogers.
Governor Davis and Attorney
General Rogers will meet upon
the stump for the first time for
several weeks at Yellville tomor- j
row. Both have accepted invi
tations to speak at that time and
it is expected that there will be
another clash between them sim
ilar to those that have marked
their former meetings. They
will also meet the following day
at Harrison. Mr. Rogers will
return to Little Rock Monday to
attend a board meeting, but he.
states that he will afterward!
meet Governor Davis at a num
ber of the latter’s appointments.
| IN SOCIETY. |
MUSICAL COTERIE.
Notwithstanding the raw, bleak
day of Thursday, most of the
members of the Musical Coterie
were on hand to cast their votes
for the officers for the ensuing
year.
After a few musical selections
and blowing of whistles or bag-,
pipes and goo-gooing from the
infantine band, order was re
stored and we were able to pro
ceed with the business of the
day.
Mrs. Hillhouse was ra-elected
president, and there was much 1
enthusiasm shown. The re
election speaks for itself—th^t j
the chair of honor was well
tilled the past ye'ar. In any club
or society it is not an easy duty
\ 'j,, I
to perform. There is always a
tendency to take the clock to
pieces because it does not keep
time with everybody’s chronome
ter. There are stony, thorny
places. Neither merit nor in
dustry is always rewarded.
Mrs. Reamey was elected vice
president. Mrs. Bandy was re
elected secretary, and we may
congratulate ourselves that we
have in that chair a woman so
capable and willing to do the
task. The minutes the past
year have been splendidly writ
ten. She has never shirked in
her duties as secretary, and it is
a position that takes much work
and time.
Mrs. McMullen was re-elected
treasurer.
The election of reporter was
left for the next meeting, as the
hour was growing late.
Beginning the new year sug
gests some reflections. Our Co
terie is no longer a parvenu. We
cannot play the baby act. New
duties and responsibilities are
thrust upon us which demand
independence of thought and
self-reliance of character. We
must not ape the opinions of
others. We must stand erect.
Dare to think, speak and do
right.

PHOTOGRAPHER ARRESTED.
Took Pictures of Nude and Ghast
ly Remains of Fire Victims
and Sold Photos.
j Hot Springs, Nov. 2^The
fact that photographs of the
nude and ghastly remains of the
six victims, five male and one fe
male, of the recent Railroad ho
itel fire found their way into the
hands of school girls, has arous
ed the city authorities to action
against the photographer who
made the views.
An investigation is being made
by the detective department to
; find the responsible persons, the
photograph beino- made on plain
cards without names, and when
• *'
he is located he will be immedi
ately arrested, charged <vith
manufacturing and selling ob
scene photos.
The pictures were taken by
flashlight the morning after the
fire and show the bodies as they
lay on the floor of McOafferty’s
morgue awaiting identification,
the undertakers being led to be
lieve that the pictures were be
ing made for identification pur
poses.
Most of the figures appear so
badly burned that they are

forms with the exception of one
of the bodies, which, during the
fire, was protected by bed cloth
ing so that only the extremities
were destroyed. It is this body
that the authorities find a par
ticular objectionable object to
present to public view in a pho
tograph.
Arkansas Bonds Included.
Further information in regard
to the bogy of repudiated bonds
indicate that those of Arkansas
are included in the lot of dishon
ored securities which the hold
ers are making their perennial
i threat to collect. The New York
Times says:
“E. R. Andrews, an attorney
of 25 Broad street, has received
a letter from President Roose
velt promising to give immediate
consideration to the subject of
| repudiated state bonds of Geor
i gia, Arkansas and the Carolinas.
! Mr. Roosevelt’s letter is in an
! swer to one of Mr. Andrews,
i John G. Carlisle and others rep
resenting bondholders who ask
for arbitration between holders
of the bonds and the four states,
j The bonds were issued just after
! the civil war, but were repudiat
ied, and with accrued interest
j they now amountjto nearly $40,
i 000,000. A considerable portion
j of this amount is held in New
j York.”
