The competition is open to anyone not connected professionally with the editorial, reportorial or correspond ence staff of a newspaper. Contribn tions will be judged on their value as news items and on their general style and construction, News value is de terrnined by the amount Of interest the matter has in itself. News has a value independent of the form in which it is presented, but ordinary incidents can be related i'll a manner to awaken interest when some of the clements of news are lacking. An ar t;cle which combines news merit with good literary style has double value.
 In all cities like Pine Bluff there are many happenings of legitimate news interest that do not find their way into the newspapers. This is rot because newspapers do not want to print them, but because reporters t;t. not discover them. Reporters nee 6ssarily follow beaten paths in their s6 arch for news. visiting stated places from day to day, and their work be, comes routine to a large degree.
 The best stories are often found off the newspaper beats, being spontana- GUS or unexpected. and not provided fer CT anticipated in assigning report ors to duty. In many instances these stories are run down by reporters and published, but in other cases they es- cape observation except in their irl- mediate localities and arc lost to the newspaper world.
 Il addition to the larger affairs which receive newspaper attention, there ure many Interesting minor in cidents of every day life that may be published with propriety, and the par- fGso of this competition is to awaken the news instinct and secure for pub lication timely stories that are now overlooked. NeighbOrhoOd happenings 1 picnics. games, improvements, public complaints. accidents. births, etc, are often passed over by regular news satberers. and will be found excellent subjects for stories to be entered ip the Graphic contest.

Portland. Feb. 21.-The carnival of
crime which has been rampant in this
city during the present winter cul
minated tonight in the cOld-blOOded
murder by a masked highwayman Of
julius Kuhn. saloon keeper, who
ran an establishment at the corner
of Williams avenue and Weidler street
in the northern part of East Portland.
Kuhn. according to an eyewitness.
was sitting in a chair at the rear of
the barroom when the thug entered
the place. Kuhn jumped from his chair
and ran behind the bar. The MUIR
derer approached until within three
feet of his victim, and without utter
ing word. deliberately shot him in
the mouth. the bullet coming out of
the back of Kuhn's head. Before he
fell Kuhn seized beer mug and threw
1t at the assassin, but missed him.
The murderer. without stopping furth.
er, ran from the saloon. The police
are without clew as to the perpetrator
of the crime.
The purpose of the murderer was
undoubtedly robbery. as Kuhn was a
wealthy man and was known to have
carried a large sum of money in his
establishment at all times. The as
sallant is believed to have been a
novice and to have shot the saloon
keeper through nervousness.

Secretary Loeb replied to the let
Ter, statlng that an investigation by
the chief of police showed that the
arrest was justified and that the kind
est act to Mrs. Morris and other kins-
folk was to refrain from giving the
case additional publicity The letters
follow:
ITO the President of the United
States-Sir: Having waited patiently
a number OF weeks that you might
nave ample time to ascertain all the
circumstances connected with the in
suit recently offered my wife at tine
White House, and that you might make
some expression of depreciation which
would naturally be expected, it is now
incumbent upon me as husband and
citizen to demand a public apology
for this outrage on wOmanhood and
common decency
1T is unthinkable that such brutal
ity would be tolerated anywhere in
this country, but. above all. in the
White House.
THAT my wife has been confined
to her bed six weeks from the shock
and injuries of this damnable treat
ment is bad enough, but l can say to
You in all calmness that had the orig
inal orders from the White House been
carried out. as to her longer incarcer-
alton, her life would have been sacri-
feed
ut is therefore incumbent upon me
to repeat my urgent request that you
take action at once suitable to the
circumstances which have shocked the
entire nation. Respectfully.

Feb. 19.-Sir: In reply to your letter

reefs me to state to you that he had
the superintendent of police of the
District of Columbia, Major Sylvester,
make a careful investigation of the
circumstances connected with the ar
rest of Mrs. Morris for disorderly con-
duct at the executive offices and the
superintendent submitted to the pres
ident all the affidavits of the persons
who had been examined. The presi-
dent carefully went over Major Sylves-
tel's report and the affidavits. and al
SO personally saw Major Sylvester and
some Of the persons making the aft
davits. He came to the conclusion
that the arrest was justified and that
the force used in making the arrest
was caused by the resistance offered
by Mrs. Morris to the officers in the
discharge of their duty and was not
greater than was necessary to make
the arrest effective.
"Under these circumstances the
president does not consider that the
officers are properly to blame. He was

YOUNG BARD MURDERED.
Nephew of California Senator Loses
His Life Abroad.

New York, Feb. % That Alfred
M. Bard, nephew of former Senator
Bard, of California met his death in
Europe by foul play was the state
ment by Detective Sergeant John F.
Fogarty. who returned to New York
today on the steamer iceland from
Brussels. Fogarty went to Europe six
weeks ago to look for the young man,
who had been missing for nearly two
months. He brought back part of
Bard's effects. including two valuable
NiOlins. one said to be worth $1,000.
Young Bard went to Brussels in Au-
gust last year to study the violin He
intended TO return to New York on
steamer leaving Antwerp on October
20 last. His uncle Senator Bard, was
at the pier to meet him when the ship
arrived but he did not appear among
the passengers.
Senator Bard then applied to the
New York police. who cabled to the
Brussels authorities and the search
for the young man has been steadily
pressed since then. When the Euro
pean officials failed to find the young
man, Senator Bard asked that Fogarty
be permitted to go abroad to prose-
cute the search and he was granted
six weeks leave of absence without
pay. This leave later was extended to
March l. In his capacity as a private
detective. FOgarty was not obliged to
report today to the local headquarters
the result of his investigation and
none of the details of the search there
fore were Obtainable as Fogarty de-
clined to make an extended state
ment He said. however. that when
he reached Brussels he learned that
young Bard had made all arrange
ments to leave the Belgian city in
October according to his original
plans. He withdrew 81 900 which ne
had on deposit in bank there. but
al the last moment decided to post
pone his departure for one week. A
French girl with whom the young man
had become acquainted was RESPONSE
bic for the postponement. the deteC-
tive said.
At this point Fogarty declined TO
talk further about the case, except to
say that young Bard was dead and
probably murdered.
