COMMITTEE REPORTS
AGAINST KEEL BILL.
Bill Exempting Newport From Pro
visions of Three-Mile District Law
Seems Fated For Early Death
—Argument Before Tem
perance Committee.
| Little Rock, March 28.— At a meet
ing of the house committee on tem
perance last night Chairman Atkins
presided and the other members
present were Messrs. Bird, Apple,
Clement and Knox. House bill
excepting Newport fromtheprovisions
of the three-mile local option law was
taken up. On motion of Mr. Clem
ent the committee decided to return
the bill to the house without amend
ment, with the recommendation that
it does not pass. A large delegation
of Newport citizens has been in the
city several days. Some of them
favored the bill and others opposed
it. They were given a hearing by the
committee Thursday night. The bill
will be reported back to the house to
day.
Relative to the argument before
the temperance committee upon bill
No. 472 (Keel) to exempt Newport
from the provisions of the three-mile
law, the Arkansas Democrat gives the
following account:
“After the committee was called to
order, Mr. Keel, the author of the
bill, stated that, he wanted to be fair
to both sides. The people had elect
ed him as their representative and he
claimed now as when he introduced
the bill, that it was in accordance
with the wishes of a majority of the
citizens of Jackson county.
Judge M. M. Stuckey of Newport
then took the floor in defense of the
measure, and in the opening of his
remarks said he was backed by a ma
jority of the business men and tax
payers of Jackson county. The
measure as he understood it sought to
exempt the city of Newport from the
three-mile law. They wanted New
port exempted because the three-mile
law when applied to the Episcopal
church at Jacksonport would take in
the principal business portion of
Newport and place that portion under
the local-option law. The people who
own the business interests of the city
■ li ve outside the radius of the three
mile law, and their interests are ab
solutely controlled by those who do.
The people of Newport had voted for
license by an overwhelming vote. The
people up there were Democrats and
believed in local self government, and
all they asked for was to have the
right to control their own affairs. He
thought the opponents of the measure
were working in the interest of the
saloonkeepers of Newark and Bates
ville more than the business interests
and citizens of Newport.
The rest of the witnesses for the
friends of the measure were Col. L.
Minor, a large property owner of
Newport; N. B. Wishon, R. M. John
son, cashier of the Bank of Newport;
J. M. Stayton, ex-prosecuting attorn
ey, and Mayor J. W. Grubbs. Their
testimony was to the effect that the
majority of the citizens of that place
preferred the licensed saloon to the
nui:_1 i-:___ it
UllJiU f »» mvj
overrun the town.
Prosecuting Attorney S. D. Camp
bell and Attorney G. A. Hillhouse
conducted the matter for the oppon
ents of the bill. They claimed that
the people of the town had not been
given proper notice that the measure
was to be introduced in the legisla
ture, and th^t the “whisky men”
were the only ones who knew of it.
The bulk of the testimony of Judge
Scarborough, J. S. Wilmans, G. A.
Hillhouse and Capt. J. E. Wilmans,
who took the stand against the meas
ure, was that the white citizens of the
town and a majority of the taxpayers
did not want the saloons in the town
at any cost. It was alleged by the
opponents of the bill that a majority
of the signers of the petitions were
negroes who could not write theii
names and that the petitions did not
represent the wishes of the gooc
citizens.
PROTEST OF J. E. WII.MANS.
The Democrat has received the fol
lowing communication relative to the
bill this morning from Mr. J. E. Wil
mans : yr
“Editor Arkansas Democrat:
“The opponents of the bill only de
sire to be left with equal privileges in
the matter of local option with the
balance of the state. They petitior.ec
saloons out of Newport in 1901, ant
are not responsible for the blind tigeri
as they did all in their power to ex
terminate them. Whereas the offloeri
of the town could not be induced ti
take any steps toward their suppres
sion, but did all they could to mak
the blind tigers as obnoxious as pos
sible with the view of disgusting th
citizens with prohibition, and three c
j the good moral citizens, as require
by law, to have license are men who
have been indicted by the grand jury
from ten to sixty times in the last two
years for running blind tigers.”
