Dr.. CaIdweII's Remarks.

DR.. J. L. Caldwell was then called
upon for an address to the meeting,
and readily responded DR.. Caldwell's S
talk was <brimful of statistics, showing
the direct results OF the building of
such line of railway. He was direct
and convincing in his statements, and
showed that he had given the subject
a great deal of careful thought He
said that he had employed a great
zeal of time during the past few
months in gathering reliable statistics
and facts bearing on this subject, and
showed how the reduction in freights
alone would inure to the benefit of
every individual citizen of Pine Bluff,
amounting in the aggregate to a saving
of many thousands Of dollars annually.
He also showed how the free bridge
acrc SIS the Arkansas could be built by
the county without injuring any inter-
est or increasing taxation dollar, and
that the increased values of taxable
property of the railroad itself would
go far toward repaying to the county
the cost of the bridge. His speech
was exhaustive and complete, and
worthy of the broadcast circulation.
Among other important features of
the situation brought out by DR.. Cald-
wells address, were the statements
that the new road would not be sold
or leased to any railway company
now operating line in this city, and
that the new road would enter into a
contract with the county for the use
of the bridge, and would not ask a
monopoly of the same

make statement of the plans of the
company he represents. DR.. Orto re-
sponded, and gave a full history of
the present movement for a north
and south railroad, from it's incipiency.
He stated that four or five years ago
a number of the representative citi-
2ens of Pine Bluff met in a room over
the Southern Grocery company's es-
tablishment, to discuss the propriety
of such a road. They were business
men who recognized the necessity, of
such a line, as an additional outlet to
Pine Bluffs restricted trade relations
with the surrounding country. There
pany was organized, and got into COM
munication with the Choctaw railway
company with view to securing that
companys assistance in the new en-
terprise. The Choctaw people appear
ed to take considerable interest in the
movement, but that road was finally
absorbed by the Rock Island system,
which put stop to the negotiations.
Various causes served to delay the
matter up to the present time. Dr..
Orto stated that he was Influenced
IN this matter by no feeling of hostil-
ity whatever to either of the great
roads entering the city at this time.
He realized their Importance to the
city and the city's future. He was
sure this same sentiment was shared
by every member of the company he
had the honor to represent. But the
building of north and south railroad
was simple business proposition. the
necessity of which had already become
too apparent to his associates and the
business interests Of Pine Bluff to
merit discussion. Pine Bluff needed
competing line of railway, and a
line that would give the CITY another
outlet for its trade. The building of
the north and south line was the log
ical solution of the present problem
confronting Pine Bluffs business in.
terestS.
AS president of the new company,
he was ready to state for the informa
tron OF those present that the company
was now ready to build a line of rail-
way from this city to a connection
with the Rock Island The necessary
financial backing had been secured,
and the company asked no bonus from
the citizens of Pine Bluff. Moreover.
the road should be in reality compet-
ing line, and should remain under the
control of local citizens. He made the
positive assertion that the road should
net go into the hands of any objection
able corporation.

ART OF JUDO.
Exhibition Of Japanese System of Ply
steal DEVELOPMENT,

Much interest is manifested In the exhibit
ton of Judo which will be given by Prof
Yamashita and his assistants at the La
fayette Theater Friday evening. The pro-
lessor is the foremost exponent of this Jap
anese art In the world. and. although often
requested heretofore to give a public exhi-
bition. he has always declined The few
exhibitions he has given have been In pri-
vate. one of which was at the White House,
when Prof Yamashita and the local wres-
tier, Joe Grant. met on the mat.
The art of Judo is claimed to be the most
perfect system of physical culture known,
and to its study and mastery many at
tribute the !ndomitable courge of the
Japanese soldiers and sailors in the war
with Russia. 1t teaches not only the best
system of physical development but in
structs the weak how to take advantage of
stronger persons when in danger. Prof.
Yamashita will give practical demonstra-
lions of the various formulas of Judo and
will also perform many physical tricks
which have been done by vaudeville per-
formers and appeared to be marvellous.
Prof. Yamashita will show how easy they
are. Mr.. Saburo Koshibas illustrated lee
ture on the Japanese Russian war will be
an event of interest in connection with the
exhibition of Judo.

KARR REARRAIGNED.
Former Warrant Contained a Wrong
Specification Of Offense Committed.

w. W. Karr, the former disbursing officer
OF the Smithsonian Institution came into
the Police Court before Judge Scott this
morning to be arraigned on a charge of the
embezzement of $4,000. He was accom-
panied by Attorney Frailey of the law firm
of Worthngton, Heald & Frailey. who are
to defend him in the courts. The reading
OF the warrant, in which the crime charged
Is set forth, was waived By advice of his
attorney, Mr. Karr pleaded not guilty to
the charge and waived the preliminary ex-
animation before the Police Court magis-
trate. Assistant District Attorney Given
suggested to the court that bond In the sum
of $4,000 be fixed for the appearance of Mr.
karr after the grand jury has made its in
vestigation, which was done.
Accompanied by his attorney Mr. Karr
then went to the office of the clerk of the
court, where he gave the bond required, the
Title Guaranty and Trust Company of
Scranton Pa, becoming surety, as before
The bond was accepted and Karr was given
his liberty.
Karr was arra!gned on new warrant to-
day, which was sworn out by Richard Rath-
bun, assistant secretary of the Smithsonia n
Institution, yesterday. The former warrant
upon which he was held until the new war
rant was sworn out. was nolle pressed by
the assistant district attorney. The former
charged Karr with the embezzlement of
funds of the Smithsonian Institution. 1t was
discovered on examination that the funds
which Mr.. karr is alleged to have taken
belonged to the United States. In this re-
spect the old warrant was not accurate
and 1t was thought best to swear out the
new warrant
The warrant upon which Karr was ar
raigned today charges him with embezzle-
ment from the United States The warrant
is based under section 54SS of the revised
statutes of the United States, which makes
1t an elnbezzlement for a public official to
m nf fho
United States.
The penalty IN the case is Imprisonment
for not more than ten years or fine of not
more than the amount embeZzled.
The case will now go to the grand jury
for investigation. 1t is not expected that
his trial will be reached this summer

LARGER ATTENDANCE.
Public Fairgrounds Well Patronized
Today-Some Contributions

This morning at $50, when the public
Fairgrounds of the city opened there was
a considerable increase in attendance The
children had been given notice through the
press and were on hand to take advantage
of the opportunity afforded them to have a
good time. And they had it. too Teachers
guided the little ones In games and songs,
and when II 80 o'clock came the little ones
were loath to leave.
AT the large open-ar grounds the older
boys had fine day. All during the cooler
hours of the morning they were climbing
ladders, skinning the cat on the horizontal
bars and travelling miles on the rings
When all the apparatus arrives and is In
place the play grounds AT the schools will
receive larger share of patronage and
every one will have chance. 1t Is ex-
pected the hours will be heightened later
especially in those lots where there is an
abundance of shade
Several practical contributions were re-
ceived today in the shape of athlete apDa-
ratus. Among them was a punching bag,
base ball set and a cToquet outfit
