\ NEWARK WON THREE
GAMES FROM LONOKE
The Games Resulted in 8 to 0; 25
and 9 to 7 in Favor
of the Local Team.
The series of three games of ball
which took place here last Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday between
the Newark and Lonoke teams, re
sulted in a disastrous defeat for
Lonoke.
The first game, as was told in
The Journal last week, was a com
plete shut-out for Lonoke, the
score being eight to nothing in
favor of Newark.
It was thought, however, that
the visitor-, would do better in the
foHowing games, but those who
thought so soon changed their
.minds after the second game was
called, and it was plainly evident
that the visitors were no match
for the locals. T he home team
ran in nine scores in the fourth in
ning. .Several three-base hits
were made and two home runs,
one by Crosser and one by Hen
derson, Newark piled up scores
while Lonoke made errors and
more errors. Tlx* game resulted
in twenty-five for Newark to one
for Lonoke.
In Saturday's game Newark
took out some of her best players
find used substitutes from the
- -teenfli nine, in order to give the
visitors a better showing, but this
game, also, resulted in a defeat
for Lonoke, the score being nine
for Newark, to seven for Lonoke.
Notwithstanding the fact that
the Lonoke boys <pan't play ball,
they are a gentlemanly set, and j
made many friends during their
stay in the city.
Manager Swain, in reporting
the games to the Arkansas Demo
-crat from Lonoke, says: “The
Lonoke baseball team was defeat
ed in all three games played tit
Newark, with the scores greatly
against them. The team now
realizes that something must be
done, as they are injuring the rep
utation made by former teams of
this place. Manager Swain will
re-arrange his nine and will give
them a great deal of practice be
fore any more challenges are ac
cepted.”

CROP REPORT.
The government bureau's crop
report for Arkansas for week end
• ing dune 18 says the temperature
was seasonable, with local show
ers over most of the state. Con
siderable progress was made in
cleaning fields, and crops are now
clean and doing well, but would be
benetitted by rain. Cotton is small
but the plant is healthy and is
growing rapidly. Chopping is
well advanced. Farly corn is suf
fering from lack of moisture and1
is not promising: the late planted
is generally up to a good stand
and some is being cultivated. 1
Wheat harvest is in progress; the:
yield is light. Oats are good and
harvesting has begun. Potatoes
are a fair to good crop. Apples
are still dropping in some sections
and a light crop is indicated; oth
er fruits are doing well. Pastures
are generally good and stock is in
good condition.

THE ANTI-TRUST ACT
IN SUPREME COURT
Case Was Argued and Submitted
Monday, and a Decision is Ex
pected at an Early Date.
Argument was heard b.v the
state Supreme Court at Little
Rock Monday in the suit involv
ing the validity of the Arkansas
anti-trust act, and, at the conclu
sion. the court took the matter un
der advisement. No future time
at which a decision may be ex
pected was announced by the
court, but as the case is one of
public importance it will probably
be decided at an early date, per
haps before tlie summer adjourn
ment. in duly.
The style of the case is The
State of Arkansas vs. the Hartford
Fire Insurance Company. Pro
ceedings against the company un
der the new anti-trust act were in
stituted in the Pulaski Circuit
Court by the attorney general to
recover the penalty of £5,000 a
day, and to forfeit the right of the
company to do business in the
state.. The company tiled a mo
tion to require the complaint to U?
made more specific by stating*
whether the company is a mem
ber of a pool or trust in this state
or without the state, and whether
such membership was for the pur
pose of fixing rates of insurance in
the state or without the state.
This motion was overruled by
Judge Winfield, whereupon an ap
peal was taken.
At Monday's session of the Su
preme Court Col. Jos. W. House,
speaking for the defendant, ar
gued-at length. It was contended
that if the company was a mem
ber of and a party to any pool,
trust, combination, etc., to fix the
price and premium to be paid for
insuring the property outside the
state, and which in no manner af
fected or affects the price or prem
ium to be paid for insuring prop
erty in this state, it was not sub
ject to the penalties prescribed by
the statute, because the otiense
charged would be extra-territorial
and beyond the jurisdiction of the
state. It was argued also that the
complaint is fatally defective in
not charging that the defendant
was a member of, and a party to,
a pool, etc., to regulate and fix:
the price or premium to be paid
for insurance in Arkansas. This,
it was contended is the very grav
amen of the offense. The charge
as made, it was further argued, is
extra-territorial and the court had
no jurisdiction.
Attorney tieneral Holers in be
half of the state, discussed the
construction to be placed on the
anti trust act, and the legislative
authority to prescribe rules and
conditions upon which corpora
tions may do business in this state.
The argument was that the aet of
1905 could be deemed an act of ex
clusion or of regulation and the
right of the legislature to so enact
laws was declared indisputable.
It was argued that the decision of
the Supreme Court in the Lanca
shire case under the act of lS9i>
pointed the way for the legislature
to act if it meant to bar corpora
tions that were members of pools,
etc., anywhere outside of the state.
The arguments of the case oc
cupied the whole day, and it was
after six o’clock when the case*
was submitted to the court.
