T o D A Y

An effort will be made this after noon in the Jefferson circuit court to secure the release of E.P. Iadd, presi- dent of the Little Rock Automobile Company and treasurer of the Arkan- sas Good Roads Association, from the county jail here. He was arrested at Little Rock Wednesday night On a bench warrant issued by the Jefferson county grand jury, charging him with murder in the first degree, in killing John Scott, a sawyer, at Ladd, Ark. October 24, 1905.
 Application was made this morning by his attorneys, Austin and Danaher. for writ of habeas corpus which may result in his making bond and being released until his trial is called in the circuit court here. In their petition the attorneys state that MT. Ladd is not guilty of murder, that he is entitled to bond and that he should be granted bail. They announce that they will introduce witnesses at the hearing on the petition to substantiate his plea of self defense and to fur ther show that the state has a weak

case in prosecuting him '
 Judge A. B. Grace ordered Sheriff Phllpot to bring MT. Ladd into court this afternoon at 3 o'clock and, in the event that the witnesses, who have been subpoenaed from I.add and other places, arrive here the hearing will be begun.
 The cell in which Mr. Ladd spent Thursday night is one of the largest and most comfortable in the county jail but the odor from the interior of the dilapidated jail building is almost stifling. The jail is badly in need Of repairs and notwithstanding the fact that Jailer Meeks keeps it as clean as possible, it is far from being in good sanitary condition.
 Numbers of Mir. Ladd's local friends are ready to sign his bond in the event that Judge Grace sees fit to grant him bail. He was visited by many friends in his cell again this morning and although somewhat downhearted over his confinement, he |seems to be we'll satisfied with his lot, at least until he gets his freedom again

Co-incident with the announcement that the executive officers of the Ar kansas River Improvement associa- ton had called a convention meeting on November IS. at Muskogee. l. IT,, there has been much discussion as to the great question of Arkansas river navigation which will come before that body. Advices from over Arkansas ard Indian Territory tend to show that a big convention will be on hand at that time to vigorously support the Arkansas river.
 Anent the problems to be present ed Major Clifton +. Breckinridge, for merly of Pine Bluff now president of the Arkansas Valley Trust Company at Fort Smith, and who was former member of the original rivers and harbors committee of the congress Of ;aS4. which is the parent body of the ;,.csent great movement, contributes the following remarks to this causet
 Tt is right hard to keep up wit the interest manifested in all parts of the country with regard to river improvements. We had a meeting here for our valley last May and or ganized the whole valley to push the improvement of our river. the Ar kansas. The Lakes to the Gulf had a meeting in Memphis recently with the president of the United States as the star figure and advocate.

PASTORS ARE
 RESPONSIBLE. Raid on Local Gambling Houses Yesterday Laid at Feet of Ministerial As sociation
WATSON AND MOORE
Are Said to Have Gone Before Grand Jnry-MinisterS Met-Aiter RaWd, Houses, Gamblers. Salooni>ts-To Fight LaWieSSneSS.

The Pine Bluff Ministerial Associa- ton, which is composed of nearly all of the ministers of the city, is wholly responsible for the burning order is- sued by Circuit Judge A. B. Grace yesterday, at the request of the Jeffer- son county grand jury and by which gambling tables and other gambling house paraphernalia, seized by Sher- if C. M. Philpot from four local club rooms, was burned in the court house yard yesterday afternoon in the pres- ence of several hundred spectators. The gambling tables, cards, chips and other articles destroyed were valued at about $500.
 It leaked out today that Reverend w. C. Watson. pastor of the Lakeside Methodist church, and Reverend Ross Moore. pastor of the First Baptist church, visited the grand jury room Tuesday afternoon with view to hav- ing the grand jurors indict all par ties, saloon keepers, gambling house operators, bawdy house keepers and all others guilty of alleged violations of the law. They asked that they be given a hearing. it is said and the grand jury granted the request of the two ministers. They are said to have been sent to the grand jury room by the local Ministerial Association to furnish certain information to the grand jurors by which they might act 1t is stated today that the ministers worked up evidence which prompted the burning order of yesterday, the pastors even furnishing the grand jury with the exact address Or location of the four gambling houses raided One other gambling house was raided at the same time but no fixtures were found there.
 It is stated today that the grand jury will make an effort to indict all persons who rent their property for bawdy house purposes and that the gambling house operators and fre- quenters will also be indicted. The women who operate bawdy houses in this city are said to be under inves- tigation just now and it is said that the present grand jury has already returned indictments against them.
 A Graphic representative learned this morning that the Ministers as socation had been informed that there were certain members of the present grand jury who did not fla vor the indicment of the gambling house operators, the bawdy house keepers Or the saloon men who v:oy late the Sabbath. Just how true this is, however, cannot be ascertalned. But it is known that through some source enough information leaked out of the grand jury room to prompt call meeting of the ministers last Tuesday morning at which the mas ters were discussed at length The final disposition of the matter was the appointment of Reverend Watson ard Reverend Moore as a committee to go before the grand jury for the purpose of urging the jury to stop lawlessness in this city and county. Just what other matters were referred to the jurors could not be learned To a'd the grand jury, it is reported that the ministers in this city will basin fight

 The call of our Valley association, in conjunction with the commercial congress, is most opportune, and we should respond with ardor and in full force.
 "Mr. Trumbo of Muskogee, presi- dent of our Valley association, and vice chairman oi the executive com- mittee of the Trans Mississippi con- gress, has written to Mir Bigger, sec retary of our Valley association, and to me, urging the utmost activity on the part of our people and the public press. think that in addition to the delegates from the Arkansas Valley to the Commercial Congress. which meets at the same place on November 19, should be requested to attend in time to participate in the river con- vention on the 18th.
 This 18th session Of the Trans Mississippi Congress represents 24 states and territories and nearly 40,- O00,O0 of people. They have come to us primarily to help our commerce by urging the perfect improvement of our great central river. the Arkansas, from central Oklahoma to the Missis sippi river. We should show warm appreciation of our own needs and of the appreciation of others. and join the general movement for the inn provement in the most perfect man. ner of all the commercial channels which are under the jurisdiction and in the hands of federal government
