to be one of the literary financial
sensations of the year. In technique
Ii will range from the poetic to the
tragic. There will be pen portraits
of persons so graphic in character
that the intimacy Of the writer with
the man whom he discusses will be
impressed upon the minds of the
readers. Descriptions of incidents
will convey the same impression.
The arraignment of Standard Oil
methods by one couversaut with the
ways of these money kings of the
twentieth century will be one of
terrible significance.

Boss Simpson Arrested.

Policemen B. J. Latham and B. J. Griffin of the city department yester- day arrested Boss Simpson. who was wanted for the murder of another negro near Pineapple.

 He is said to be a desperate negro.
