Will Establish Plant.

For once since Acting Governor
 Pindall took charge of the chief exec
 utive office and thus became a member
 of the Penitentiary Board, Attorney
 General Kirby has lined up with a proposition of a majority of the Board, which consists of Secretary of State Ludwig, Commissioner of Agri- culture Tucker and the acting gov ernor. In a meeting of the Peniten- tiary Board held here today he voted with the majority in favor of estab- fishing a plant on the State convict farm for the manufacture of cotton bagging. This plant will cost in the neighborhood of $5,000 and will be erected as soon as material can be purchased and machinery delivered. Through the erecting of this plant Acting Governor Pindall expects to do away with the lease system, giving employment to all convicts at the farm, in raising jute from which to manufacture bagging and in making the finished products. The convicts will thus be withdrawn from competi- ton with he farmers and working men of the State, manufacturing cot ton bagging so that it can be deliver ed to them at from thirty-five or for ty cents instead of ninety-five cents, as is now paid to the trusts for a quantity to bind one bale of cotton. The Penitentiary Board will leave to- night for the State farm, where it will
 spend the day tomorrow in selecting the sight for the bagging factory and
 making preparations for it's erection.

 Him.

The officers of this city who have been investigating this mater be- Ieve that c. Meyers, the negro pris- oner. who escaped from Deputy Constable Dunk Stewart Thursday night, is the man wanted at Lake View, Ark on charge Of wife mur- der and other crimes. They have been unable to locate the negro and notwithstanding the fact that the negro was securely handcuffed at Hhe time he made his successful break far liberty, nothing has been heard of him since
 The suspect was arrested by Deputy Constable Beland Toney, brother of Mayor Toney, while he was coming out of box car in the bs-nintheu easteradyards alrori te railroad yards in the eastern su- burbs of the city Thursday. He was taken to police headquarters and jailed, being unable to explain his actions. Later Deputy Stewart thought that he wauld secure a commitment in Justice Cheeks court and place the negro in the county jail until an investigation could be made.
 Accompanied by the negro the deputy constable went to Justice Cheeks office on West Court street. The prisoner was handcuffed, hay ing on a fine pair of steel irons re- gently received from Chicago. AS they were preparing to enter the door ct the magistrates office, the negro broke from the officer and. running about fifteen feet, jumped down the river bank, almost into the Arkansas river. It was dark and the deputy constable. after fir ing three shots at the fleeing pris- oner, finally reached the water edge. He chased the shackled pris- oner through the quicksand and brush, but the prisoner succeeded in vanishing in the dark and still enjoys his liberty.
 Deputy Stewart stated that he could have killed the man, but ow- ing to the fact that he did not know the seriousness of his crime at the time he fired into the air, think ing that he would bring him to a stop.
 It is thought that the negro Hound a friend who was kind enough to 6le the hardcuhs from a,s wrists '~Ig9

The members of Pine Bluff lodge No. 149, Benevolent Protective Order Of Elks, held impressive and inter- esting memorial services at the Elks theater Sunday afternoon to comment crate the lives of twenty-four of their departed brothers. The services were begun at 3:30 o'clock and continued for about two hours. The theater was crowded with Elks their families and friends and the ceremonies were most impressive and beautiful
 Professor Mueller's orchestra as- sited in making the musical program decided success, Professor M. D. Me ,Neill, the exalted ruler who presided, and Mrs. E. w. Bocage accompanying the various soloists. The services were conducted by Exalted Ruler Nc Neill, assisted by Reverend w D. Buckner, IL. D., rector of Trinity Episcopal church; William Nichol, Nick Can't, Curran Nichol, W. H. Dean, Harold Bluthenthal and Hon. orable Mike w. Connolly of Mem phis, who delivered the address of the afternoon, his subject being "The Spir- it Of Elkdom
 When the roll call of departed mem bers was made the theater was dark ened and behind a rising curtain at the rear of the stage were presented tWenty-fOur monuments, each repre- sentinS one of the deceased brothers. They were in three rows, each row being elevated on steps, with each monument bearing the name of the departed member. As each name was called by Secretary Can't, following the striking of the familiar eleven bells, a large electric globe at the top the roll call ceased the stage pre- sented most impressive appearance and the ceremonies were carired out in accordance with the ritual of the Elks. Professor McNeill acquitted himself admirably and the prayer of Reverend Buckner was one of the really impressive features of the af- ternOOn
 The address of MT. Connolly was literary gem, but owing to his being troubled witll a sore throat and bad cough Mr. Connolly was not at his best oratorically. Clarence Friedman, former exalted ruler of the Elks lodge at Memphis and who upon his retirement several months ago was presented with a life membership card to the order encased in gold, by friends, also occupied a seat on the
 stage, having accompanied Colonel Connolly to Pine Bluff
 The musical part of the program was most enjoyable, each of the solo, ists acquitting themselves well. Mrs Jesse R. Core captivated her hear CTS with a charming rendition of John- sons Rock of Ages" Her fine con- tralto voice was shown to be at it's
