 There are few local pessimlsts, who have been talking about the scarcity of money, and the certainty of hard times in Pine Bluff for the present year. Some of them have gone so far as to assert that there IS not near so much money in Pine Bluff as there was a year ago.
 Such assertions are not borne out by the published statements of the local banks on January 1. These state ments show that the deposits in the banks of the city on January l aggre- gate nearly two million dollars, which is nearly as much as was on deposit year ago.
 It is true that the cotton crop in thls section is short one but that does not signify any great financial dis tress. 'ss
 When the people have as much as two million dollars on deposit in the banks, it indicates that there IS sfili

DOMESTIC TROUBLES AIRED
Divorce Petition OF winona L Taft Heard in
County Court.

Burlington, April 1.-THE domestic
difficulties of Winona L Taft, daush
ter OF a Fairfax Methodist minister,
and Russell W Taft son of the late
Judge r S Taft were aired in county
court this afternoon when the divorce
petition brought by Mrs Taft came up
for hearing. The case involves
Charles e Walker, prominent society
man, Mrs r S Taft and r + Brown.
Mr. and Mrs Taft we're married in
1901. Soon afterward difference
arose between Mrs Taftand her mother
in.law and when Mr. Taft proposed that
his mother make her home with him
his wife objected The move was
made, however, and resulted in further
enlargement, the women refusing to
speak to each other On one occasion
the mother is said to have struck young
Mrs Taft.
At about this time the visits of Mr
Walker to the Taft home caused Mr.
Taft to rebel and he spoke to his wife
She agreed, it is said, to have Mr.
Walkers visits cease. They continued
however, and as a result Mr. Taft has
sued Mr Walker for alleged alienation
of affection.
1t is alleged that Mr. Taft opened a
personal letter sent to his law partner
r + Brown, made copy OF the letter,
and showed it to hiswiie. II is further
claimed that this action caused Mrs
Taft to lose her respect for her husband.
Mrs Taft will take the stand tomorrow.

DEBTS BY ARMED FORCE

BOSTON, April L. A statement
bearing upon the international Ameri-
can conference TO be held at Rio ia
seiro, sent to President Roosevelt by
the American Pence society, has been
made public. 1t is signed by Robert
Treat Paine president. and Benjamin
f. Trueblood, secretary, and is as fol-
lows
The board Of directors Of the Amer
lean Peace society in common with
other citizens OF the nation, are expect
ing that the forthcoming international
American conference at Rio Janeiro
will contribute greatly toward the
strengthening and perfecting of the
bonds of friendship between all the
states of the western hemisphere
They particularly hope that the in
structions given to the United States
delegation and the action OF the dele
cation in the conference may be in ev-
cry respect such as TO convince the
Central ana South American countries
that tile United States has no intention
whatever, either in upholdng the Mon
roe doctrine or in any other OF the poll
cies, of trespassing upon the rights OF
the other American republics as indie
pendent and sovereign states. but wish
Is only to promote in every possible
way their highest independent self gov
eminent
The board respectfully asks that in
formulating the instructions to be Civ
EN- to the United States delegates you
will consider whether it would not he
wise, in the interests OF permanent
friendly relations among the American
republics. that the international Amer
lean conference should be made reg
ular organization to- meet at stated
periods under the administrative man
agemcnt OF the bureau OF American re-
publics. which. according 10 the pro-
gramme of the coming conference. we
understand it is planned TO make n
permanent organization. The board
believes that such an organization Of
the states of This hemisphere would he
a very great step in promoting the
highest interests OF civilization and
the establishment of Justice and peace
throughout the world
The board desires further to call
your special attention to the fact that
the coming pan-Americm conference
will afford an admirable opportunity
for our nation TO join with The repuh-
lies of South and Central America in
an earnest remonstraucc against the
unfortunate and diSquieting policy by
which certain governments seek TO col
lect the debts Of their subjects 10y the
use or the threat Of violence, policy
contrary TO The precedcntS generally
followed 10y the United States aud
tending obviously TO do injustice 10 in.
nocent people and to endanger the
peace of the world could the govern
mcut of the United States do anything
more ctfeetual to promote good feeling
and security among our southern
neighbors than by giving the aSsur-
ance that il viii not be a party TO the
collection of debts 10y force Of arms
and will throw the powerful support
of IFS example and diplomatic inhu
ence against this practice"
