Maintained for Jews WHO Go
There for Treatment.
MEETING AT SAN ANTONIO.

Rabbi j. S. kornfeld returned la =
u4gIt f. ON San Antonio, T Xas where
he was in attendance Oh the ses-
sions Of the grand lodge, Independent
C4dzr BNai B'Rith Which has just
adjourned at that place. The rabbi
reports a most interesting session Of
tEe lodge, and a large attendance of
members throughout the country.
Arkansas was most Interested in
the movement to establish a SANTA
rum at Hot Springs. The committee
appointed at the Monday session re-
ported in favor of adopting the reso-
luton that no immediate action be
taken to- establish the sanitarium.
The committee recommended that
pending the delay steps be taken
to establish headquarters at Hot
Springs for the Jews, to be main
dI SOoC VI pow pOA ySSA'
and that the matter be submitted
to the Little Rock and Hot Springs
lodges. This movement will be ia
ken up by the Arkansas lodges at
once, and it is very probable that
the Headquarters as recommended
will be established. Rabbi Kornfeld
says that the members of the Jewish
order in Arkansas have not given
up the idea of establishing the sani.
tarium for Jews at Hot Springs.
Rabbi Louis WoOlsey of Little
Rock was elected representative to
the constitutional convention of grand
lodges, and Rabbi J. S. Kornfeld OF
this city was elected member of the
executive committee.

THOSE BEHIND THE NEW LINE.

rine Hf;n Is 10 have another t. Be-
phcne connection with Little Rock,
sonnet ljug that has been needed for
som time for the Bell system has
had a mGHGpoly Of the business. The
New Long Distance Telephone com
pany Gf Tsxafkana and the independ-
ent syst m of this city have combined
to make a long distance connection
from Tpxarkana to Little Rock
through Pine Bluff, which will give
this city connection with all the inter
mediate points along the line as we'll
as connection with the two important
places. For many years the Bell sys-
tenn, or the Southweste tern Telegraph
and Telephone company has had un-
disputed possession Of all the busi-
ness over long distance lines in south
Arkansas and the new company prom
ises to rival the old company for a
share of the business. Prominent busi-
ness men in Pine Bluff own stock
in the company, and it means much
for the business interests of Pine
Bluff. 1t is probable that the line
will tap Hope, Camden, Hot Springs
and it may be extended to Memphis,
Tenn. They reach 200 stations in
| north Texas and 300 in Oklahoma and
Indian Territories. 1t is the same or
ganization practically as the Texar-
kama Telephone company, which has
200 subscribers here.
