DREWS IS IN JAIL. I
investigation of Bribery in th>
Arkansas Legislature Results
m the Arrest of a Promi
nent Member.
Little Rock, May 10. ~Jfon. C.
>■ Andrews, retires
NevTRwl?j'r,irntV1'-AT the last gen
eral assembly, and editor of the
Prescott Picayune, is in the Pu
i laski county jail on the cha^M^f
having receiverj^^hjg|^^^,!'
offered a brij^^f^j^^^^ anti
fcfimiection with
7e5iH|^pFTn the kdlough bill.
He was arrested at his home in
Prescott at 7 p. in. yesterday by
Constable E. S. Jones, of this
city, upon affidavits sworn out
by Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton
before Justice D. Meisner, on
May 5, and brought at once to
Little Rock. The justice was
awaiting him, and shortly before
1 o'clock last night formally com
mitted the legislator to the coun
ty jail for three days, at the
end of which time a preliminary
examination will be given him
before Justice Meisner, unless it
should be decided to hold it
sooner. He has not yet given
bond, which has been placed at
$1,000 in each case.
The information upon which
the warrants were based was
furnished the prosecuting attorn
ey by Representative R. E. Simp
son, of Hempstead county, who
alleges that on April 10 Andrews
offered Representative Simpson
$50 for his vote on the Killough
Levee bill, and that he (And
rews) accepted a bribe of $100
for his vote on the same measure.
Andrews denies the charge in
most emphatic terms.
“I swear to you that I ktupv
nothing whatever about any
boodling. If there was ever any
money passed in the legislature
1 know nothing about it. 1 never
did anything wrong, and I will
be game, it is no discredit to be
honest. I do not know who they
are trying to get at, but 1 will
spend every cent l own and can
borrow to establish my inno
cence.”
THE JUNE SMART SET.
“On the Newport Road” is the
attractive title of the novelette
which opens the June Smart Set.
Sewell Ford is the author, anti
he has written as sprightly t
piece of fiction as has recently
appeared.

short stories will be found in the
June number. One in particu

is so absorbing in its dramatic
interest and so startling in its
j denouement that it will cause nc
! slight discussion.
The Smart Set improves stead

ijjany stories and poems of sucf

PUNISHING HIS ENEMIES.
J'he governor vetoed the bill
l creating the position of assistant
to the atterney-general, and the
legislature in its wisdom saw tit
to pass the bill over the gover
nor’s veto. Fairness and just
ness would have demanded that
the governor accept his defeat in
a manly and gracious manner,
j but having the advantage at the
j last, he could not resist thetemp

ation for the maintenance of the
penitentiary. The governor
could not resist the temptation
to veto this measure, and he also
vetoed every item of salaries for
officials and employes of the pen
itentiary. It ought to be unnec
essary to recall the fact that the
governor failed to elect his men
to penitentiary positions, and in
vetoing this bill he suffered mal
ice to govern his action.
He also vetoed the act creating
supreme court stenographers —
in truth permitted his prejudice
to govern matters that should
have been considered dispassion
ately and acted upon for the best
interests of the people. The
governor evidently believes in
punishing his enemies and in re
sorting to any methods, no mat
ter how unfair, to accomplish
that purpose.
