Kinky Headed Babe Hulabaloo.
Special to Independent.*
Little Rock. Oct. 24.—That
poor kinky headed baby is now
getting more attention than ev
er in the North, and the letters
asking for the commutation of
the sentence imposed on Earl
Gilchrist, have begun to flow in
' tito Governor Donaghey. The
Northern papers are even run
ning coupons again asking that
they be filled out and sent to
Governor Donaghey.
The first real large package
of tetters of this nature were re
ceived Monday, and their nature
f indicates there are thousands
1; more on the way. The North
!other is doing all in his
to protect the hide of this
headed youth, who claims
L5 years of age and looks
50.

with the knowledge that most of
his income was derived not from
persons contracted to pay same,
but from persons who volunta

This, colored man isn’t to be
classed with various others of
his tribe in the north. The Pull
man porter who has a good run
between New York and Boston,
New York and Washington,
New York and Chicago or St.
Louis averages considerably
more than $100 a month in tips.
But the fact are that these tipsl
instead of being received “from
persons who voluntarily reward
merit and attention” upon the
part of the porter are really
forced from passenpers. It is
practically obligatory upon ev
ery one who rides in a Pullman
car to fee the porter before the
journey’s end.

ing the customary tribute to the
porter. The porter does not ren
der any particular service. The
passenger pays for his transpor
tation, pays for his Pullman ac
commodations and for what he
eats along the road. He may cr
may not tip the waiter in the
dining car; he never tips the
railroad men, not even the Pull
man conductor. If he tried to
the chances are these men would
feel insulted, yet they render the
traveler more real service than
the Pullman porter. Only about
once in sixteen times does the
porter clean the passenger's
shoes, and when he does so he
usually leaves them worse than
he found them. The brushing
of clothes and hats is a farce.
The porter’s noisy manipulation
of his long whiskbroom merely
is notice to you to give money to
him. It stirs up dust that pol
lutes the air and irritates the
throat; it does general harm to
the unfortunate persons who are
forced to travel and rarely, if
ever, improves the state of thi|
traveler's clothing.

One Hour In Jail For Allowing
Murray to Escape and Is Re
moved From Office. -
- - / '
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Oct. 24.—The de
cision of the supreme court Mon
day in affirming the sentence of
Sid Houpt, former sheriff of
Garland county, for the crime of
permitting a prisoner to escape,
means that Houpt is permanent
ly removed from his office, and
must serve his hoipr in jail and
pay a fine of $1, with all costs of
the proceeding. It also means
that Governor Donaghey is call
ed upon to appoint a sheriff of
the county to relieve the in
cumbent, who was appointed by
the court at the time Houpt was
removed.
Governor Donaghey has re
ceived a number pf applications
for the appointment and has
been called upon by several
prominent men of Garland coun
ty who desire to advance the in
terests of applicants. - Gov. Don
aghey will probably take some
action in the matter before the
end of the present week,
Houpt was removed from office
when action was brought
against him for the nominal es
cape of Ben Murray, one of his
prisoners. Murray was one of]
the men held for the murder of
Oscar Chitwood, who was killed
at the threshold of the Hot
Springs jail. Chitwood was be
ing held on a charge of murder
ing Jake Houpt, former sheriff
and brother of Sid Murray was
permitted to go about over the
county at will being accompan
ied by an office*
The supreme court held that
the officer was not in charge of
Murray, and had no power to
dictate him, Murray doing as he
saw fit. As he was thus not un
der custody, he was theoretically
permitted to escape, for which
offense Houpt was fined and re
moved from office.

DISTRICT SHOULD
NOMINATE SENATOR
State Committeeman Says There
Will Be Change In Senato
rial Nominations.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Oct. 24.—A mem
ber of the State Democratic Cen
tral Committee who was in Lit
tle Rock Monday afternoon, stat
ed there will be some radical
changes made in the system of
selecting state senators at the
next meeting of the whole com
mittee, unless the convention
was stacked beforehand. He
stated the people of the state
are becoming so dissatisfied with
the custom now existing of the
two counties of the district al
ternating with a senator, that it
will work a hardship on Democ-I
racy to continue it much further.
This committeeman called at
tention to the bitter contests
made in three districts last pri
mary. One county put out a
candidate and the other was not
asked to vote, it being claimed
it had no right to a voice in the
selection, having been granted
the right to select without oppo
sition four years before. In the
general election which followed,
there was either an independent
candidate, or much dissatisfac
tion was expressed. Som^ coun
ties are now putting out candi
dates for thfe next primaries,and
claiming the other county of the
district has no interest in the
outcome. It is the plan of, this
committeeman to have the en
tire district vote on the candi
date at each election and let men
from any portion of the district
vote on the men. This according
to the committeeman, will guar
antee to the people the right to
speak, and insure them getting
the best men in the district, as it
is not so easy to pack the entire
district, as it is one county.
