 Bnai Bfith lodge. Hc came here from Houston, Texas, where he attended the meeting of the grand lodge of that order. Mr. Kahn intends to visit every city of any importance in the United St'tes in the interest of the Bnai Brith lodge. which is doing much in the way of charity He is sent over the country by the B'nai i}rith lodge to secure places in all cities for the Boumanian jews, who are literally pouring into this country, l being persecuted in their native land. It is estimated that they arrive at Now York at the rate of 60000 to 70 0oo every year, and part of New ofk city, known as "The Ghetto. is crowded to oyerhowing with the Rou

Judge Elliott's Statement.

To the Graphic Judge Elliott made in substance the following statement of the matter.
 Judge Elliott says that he went ta Little Rock at the solicitation of Judge Martin and Mrs Martin to .ioin Mrs. Martin in the request to Gov. Davis to have MT Triplett appointed county judge under the agreement between Judge Martin and MT. Trip lett. He says that when he had stated the case to Gov Davis he retired from the room in order that Mrs Martin might state to the governor the req sons why she and her husband desr ed the appointment of MT. Triplett
 He says Gov. Davis asked if Mir. Triplett was in the city. and when told that he was, had him sent for

date the circumference on the home and leave that to his family, all that he could hope to leave them. It is said that MT. Triplett declined on the tin was asking too much of him; that he had discarded politics; that he had now reach an age where he felt un- equal to Che arduous task of perform ing the duties of a public officer; that he, too, was not in good physical con- dition, and could not accept Judge Martins proposition, but added that if 1t came as a dying request he could not refuse it. When answered that It was thus made, he consented
 Judge Elliott was solicited by Judge Martin and his wife to go to Little Rock with Mrs Martin and Mr Trip lett to carry Judge Martins resigna- ton, and to ask Gov. Davis to appoint Mr. Triplett to the vacancy. Judge Elliott at first declined on the ground that he did not believe that his inf1u- enee with Gov. Davis would be worth anything toward getting the appoint ment made. as he opposed the nomi- nation of Gov. Davis. He finally con sented however. and on Tuesday. April 2, Mrs. Martin, Mr. Triplett and Judge Elliott went to Little Rock with Judge Martins resignation. and to request the appointment of Mr Triplett as Judge Martins successor The resignation was presented to Gov Davis by Mrs. Martin. and Judge FL liott made the request that MT. Trip lett be appointed, and be~Hd himself out of the room, so that Mrs. Martin could state to the governor alone why she desired tie appointment of NJ, Triplett,
 MT s'riplett did not go to the go5- ernor's office with Mrs. Martin and Judge Elliott, and Gov. Davis sent for him to come at once. as he, the gov ernor. desired to talk personally with Mr Triplett After the conference between Gov. Davis and Mir Triplett. the governor is reported as saying that he would make no appointmens before consulting with Sheriff Mccoy and County Clerk Bloom, of Pine Bluff
 Messrs. Bloom and Mccoy were tel ephoned to by Gov. Davis, and they went to Little Rock. They protested against Mr. Triplett's appointment
 but Judge Martin had already with drawn his resignation, making it un- necessary to turn down Mir Triplett s appointment, as would certainly have 1 been done.

JACK GREEN FREE.
AND NOW WHO KILLED ALF
 STEPHENS?
Green Was Acquitted on Peremptory Instructions by the
 Court.

Jack Green is free. Green is the ne gro who was afraigned in the circuit court Friday on charge of murder ill the first degree. He was charged with having murdered another negro of the name Of Alf Stephens, who was shot and killed near Wabbaseka in this county last November Stephens was shot with q double-barrel shotgun, and died from the effects of his wounds a few days after they were in- hicted. A large number of witnesses were summoned to testify in the case and all of Friday afternoon. and d greater part of Saturday morning, were consumed in taking testimony. When the eross-examinations were completed Saturday morning, Prose cutting Attorney Sorrells asked the court to direct the jury to return a verdict of not guilty, as there was no evidence whatever with which To con yict Green of the charge The states evidence was very weak
 Judge Grace ordered the jury to re turn a verdict of not guilty, and Greens release followed. Green laid in jail for six months awaiting trial, and was indicted by the grand jury on the charge of murder in the first de gree. The evidence in the ease was so very conflicting that it is now hard to tell who did really kill Afr steph= ems.

was the agreement. and MT. Triplett replied that he would certainly do so
 and added that he had agreed to ac cept the office only at the earnest re quest of dying man, and if the gov ernor could find anybody else whc would take the office under the same conditions, to make the appointment
 as he tTriplett) did not want it: that
 he had quit politics, and had no de sire Whatever to assume the respon. abilities of public office and the tur- moils attendant, and would not do s9 except that his friend had made it as "a dying request.
 Judge Elliott says that Gov. Davis replied that it was a kindly offer on the part of MT. Triplett, and he could see nothing on the face of it objec- tlonable, but before making any ap- pointment of successor to Judge Martin he desired to confer with A3AA$i III nNSOy elIu SouIly SIClh i4t D. Bloom, of Pine Bluff.
 Judge Elliott says he told Gov. Davis that he (Elliott) had no inter. est in the matter further than to se- cure to Judge Martins family the sal dry of the office for the remainder of the term, as it was all that Judge Martin had to leave his family, and he could see no reason for consulting Mr. Mccoy and MT Bloom, and added that while he did not know the gov ernors reasons for desiring to con suit with Mr Mccoy and Mr Bloom he had no objection to offer to it. He says Gov Davis said that there were two factions in the Democratic party at Pine Bluff, and if he could make an appointment of a county judge that would unite the two. he desired very much to do so, which Judge Elliott said was commendable. and would be good thing for the party's interests i'll Jefferson county. Gov. Davis de clined to make the appointment at the time, and Mrs. Martin, Mir Triplett and Judge Elliott returned home. Gov Davis sent for MT. Mccoy and Mr Bloom, with the result as stated

to scatter these people throughout the country in order that all may be given employment and properly enjoy life. All the lodge asks is that they are given positions and it will see to their transportation.
 The Roumanians are industrious people and have many accomplish ments and trades. MT. Kahn urged the Jewish people of this city to se- cure some of them positions here. and 1t IS very likely that some will be brought here and given employment. There are already five or six of these Roumanians in Pine Bluff and they nave done very we'll since arriving here.
