Mrs, Ella Blttner and Miss Norma Langton were also incomparable in their respective roles. Miss Mayme Arlington, as Ned, a homeless waif, won much favorable comment by her clever work. Indeed the writer Of this article did not know that this youthful lad was no other than Miss Arlington until a program fell into his hands by chance this morning.

MAY ESTABLISH
 NEW LANDING Captain Ed Rowland Jr., City and Board of Trade Officials U Meet Today to Discuss Che Idea.
THE PRESENT LANDING
Is an Eyesore and Is Not Conveniently Situated-What New Landing Means to the Business of Pine Bluff The Plans,

Doctor J. L. Caldwell, secretary af the Pine Bluff Board of Trade, this af- ternoon called d special meeting of the Board of Trade for the purpose of consulting with Captain Ed Now land Jr. of Memphis, general manager of the Arkansas River Packet Com- pany, concerning the advisability of constructing d new boat landing Ill our city The meeting will be held at 3 o'clock this afternoon.
 At present Pine Bluff does the largest river business of any point on the Arkansas river, and there is no boat landing worthy of the name ill our city. The boat landing which is now in use has been used for many years and was constructed when the heart of the business part of the city was several blocks east of where it is now. It is at present very difficult to approach and situated in most ln- convenient part of the city, and cer- tainly of all places. the wrong one for boat landing.
 County Judge James Gould, Mayor W. L. Toney and City Engineer w. J. Parkes will be present at the meeting and will discuss fully with the mem hers of the Board of Trade the feasl- bi,ity of such plan. Just what part of the expenses the city and county will defray in case such action is talk en. will be discussed fully, but will ln all probability have to be decided later.
 The matter will be entirely local one. that is no aid from the Federal Government will be asked.
 Tn discussing this matter this al ternoon Secretary Caldwell did not hesitate to say that he thought that the present boat landing was dls- grace to the city of Pine Bluff, which does a large business on the Arkansas river. The present wharf is an eye sore to the citizens of our town as well as the travelipg public.
 The meeting is very important one and it's outcome will be "atcheo with interest by the business men ol the city, as it will affect greatly the business of this city in future. The opinion of Secretary Caldwell On thiS subject is that the business or tnls city which is now transacted on the Arkansas river will be greatly aug mented. In fact the cotton trade or the city depends largely On the river traffic, and good boat landing, wnlca would be easily accessible, would in all probability bring great deal or the cotton to this city, which IS no" shipped to other markets, especially since new compress is shortly to De established here.

fNG|NEER' RUE AVERTS WRECK
  1.'fs Pulled His Throttle Just as Big Tree Was Blown Across Track in Front of Fast Moving Engine.
TRAIN CREW SOAKED
Every Coach Was Filled With Passen- = gers, Among Them Many Pine Blufians, and Wreck Would Have Proven Disastrous.

s-.s5b Rue, one of the oldest and best known engineers in the Cotton Belt service, narrowly averted a bad wreck while bringing the south bound Cotton Belt passenger train to this city from Memphis yester- day. When within a few feet of a mammoth tree that had been blown across the track near Rob Roy, sev- en miles northeast of this city, he drought his traint spFta sudden stop and probably saved many life for the big train as usual, laden with passengers, every coach being filled. Many of them were Pine Bluffians.
 The train was making about thirty miles an hour when Rue s spied the tree across the rails. He pulled his throttle and the train came to a stop so suddenly that it created no little excitement among those in the coaches. The bad wind and rain storm which swept
 over this section yesterday after noon was on and the velocity of the Nnd is what prompted Engineer ' to keep sharp lookout for fall N rees- With his .eagle eye" he NJ the rails in mind and his 1 W9(1bfJll o1,,o h1 Ao the train neared Rob Roy, soon af- ter leaving &.ltheimer still running at a fast speed, Engineer Rue saw mammoth tree tumble over the s track about twenty yards ahead
 The throttle worked perfectly and the engine was brought to a stand still within two feet of the obstruc- tion.
 Conductor John Thompson and other members of the train crew oraVed the elements and with axes chopped the tree in two pieces, nov Ing it from the track. They were literally soaked by the rain, but managed to bring the southbound passenger into Pine 1t tuf only a few minutes late.
 Train conductors arriving here last night and this morning report the heaviest rainfall in all sections ot the state seen for some months The wind storm yesterday did con- siderable damage in the country

 ROBBERS TAKEN Frank Wimberly and Bill Vines Charged With Blowing Safe in Black Springs, Arrested.

Large Posse Securing Woods for Car den Brothers. Who Are Under Sus. piciOn-Vines Makes Full Confess sion-Daring Robbery.

Mt. Ida, June 27.-Frank Vim beerly and Bill Vince are under ar reest here charged with complicitv in the robbery of the bank at Black Springs Saturday They were cap tured by Sheriff Howell and Deputy L. l.. Beavers, after hot chase from Black Springs to Cherry Hill Vine admits his guilt Wimberly is si- lent, but Vines confession incrim- mates him.
 The whole country is aroused over the robbery, which is one of the most daring in the history of Ark ansas The burglars worked in the presence of twenty citizens, who of whom stood behind a hastily im- provised barricada with cooked Winchester leyeled at the crowd and threatened to shoot the man who offered to interfere. No one ven- tured to provoke hostilities.
 It was nearly daylight when the robbers had drilled hole in the walls of the safe and poured in the "soup. The fuse as lit and they dashed out of danger The eX- plosion ripped the iron walls of the vault open and the cracksmen left town withS3,00O of the banks cash,
 The cashier of the pillaged bank as the first of the awakened citi- zens to grasp what had happen,d He hastily armed himself and set out after the fleeing fugitives On the outskirts of the town he fired one shot. which failed to take ef- feet.
 Sheriff Howell was notified of the burglary and immediately hastened to the scene with several deputies. Other citizens were deputiZed aud pressed into service. The posse is now securing the woods and neigh boring towns for the fugitives.
 Sheriff Howell after investigation. suspected Frank Wimberly and the two Garden brothers. No one knew Vines but good description of him as furnished the sheriff.
 The posse left the trail of the Cardens,- but Wimberly and Vine were traced to Cherry Hill. Here they were arrested and Sheriff How ell and Deputy Beavers took them to the jail at Mt. Ida. The remain der of the posse continued the pur- suit and at one time caught sight of the Gardens. The fugitives were near a dense thicket into which they escaped.
 In a confession, Vine made a clean breast of his share of the rob- bery, duplicating the Gardens and Frank Wimberly. He says that he was approached by them at Fort Smith. He alleges the men took him into their confidence and said that they intended to rob the bank and store at Black Springs. All four planned the details of the rob bery. The dynamite sticks and other tools were bought before leaving Fort Smith, and the dyna- mite was there boiled and tAe ni- tro-glycerine used in blowing open the safe was thus obtained.
 At Mena, Vine became intoxicat- ed and was locked up He says he boasted to the other prisoners con- fined with him of the intentions of the gang. A hint of what they intended, he says, was also given the arresting officer.
 Vine says the other men carried out the robbery as planned while he was iH jail. Wimberly was con- fronted with the confession but de- nies that he is guilty.
