PRY LID OFF
IN HOT SPRINGS
, Prosecuting Attorney Could Not
Find An Officer to Stop
* Sunday Ball.
Hot Springs, March 12.—Sun
day baseball was played today,
and the moving picture shows did
business without interruption fron
Prosecuting Attorney Wood, who
stated that when lie sought the
aid of officials of the sheriff, his
deputies and constables, that he
failed to locate any of them.
Judge Wood said he was unable
to take any action today, but that
he would do so tomorrow.
The surprise of the day came
when the moving picture houses
opened. Only a few who were on
the “inside” knew that such ac
tion .was contemplated. The
shows were well patronized, for
visitors to the city have been de
manding Sunday entertainment
ever since Judge Wood forced the
shows to close last September.
The day was most too cold for a
large attendance at the baseball
parks, yet liberal patronage was
given both places. At Whitting
ton park, the All Stars, compos
ed of American and National
Brooklyn team played, and at
Majestic park the Cincinnati Beds
and St. Louis Broww mot for
the second game of a series of
nine. Spectators kept looking
for officers to make their appear
ance, but both games went
through without molestation of
any sort.
it is said that the parks and
picture show managers have pool
ed their interests and will fight
any attempt of the prosecuting
attorney to punish them for do
ing business today, carrying the
case to the supreme court, if ne
cessary.
Th managers of the picture
houses were notified to appear in
police court, tomorrow morning
and pay the usual fine for Sun
day violation, which had been in
effect before Judge Wood took
office.
Tlhe city gets thai revenue, at
the same time stealing some of
the thunder from the county pros
ecutor, for, by being fined in p>
lice court, the moving picture
manager® cannot be prosecuted
the second tun* for this offefflBC.
City authorities desire the pic
tures to run Sunday and derive
fine* that, up to the time Judge
Wood Became district attorney/
were collected Monday.

ADMISSION BILL
DOESN’T TOUCH
Theatres Which Are Compelled
to Charge to Secure Good
Talent.
Special to Independent.
Little Bock, March 13.—“The
admission bill pending in the Sen
ate will never touch the theatri
cal managers of Arkansas, ’ ’states
Manager Fennel of the Capital
Theatre, “for it is unconstitution
al We have the right to charge
what we desire for admission to
our places of business, for we are
not a publicity utility incorpora
tion, as held by the courts, but
private concerns. We can per
mit any one we desire to enter
our places, or refuse admission to
those whom we do not want in
side.” The bill referred to by
Manager Pennel is the Owen bill
in the Senate to prevent the. thea
trical companies charging more
than $1 for admission in the
State of Arkansas. Manager Pen
nel says the state cannot constitu
tionally regulate the price of ad
mission, and the bill, if passed,
Will not stop the high priced
stars from coming to Arkansas
and asking advanced prices from
their audiences. %

A criminal proceeding that has
agitated the negroes of Jackson

Henry Watson was arrested on
the charge of harboring the son
of George Hare, whom the latter
alleged had been enticed away
from his home. The fust trial of
the ease at Jaeksonport resulted
in a hung jury. Hare had put up
a bond for costa and defense’s at
torney S. M. Stuckey asked for
a change of venue. Thus it was
that the final hearing came be
fore Justice Tyer of' Bird Town
ship. Henry Grant of Happy

tion in the case.
