PRINCES SHIP is ROBBED.
Souvenir Hunters Take Away Many
Fne Relics


Prince Wilhelm of Sweden put in
his customary busy day in New York
in spite of the fact that it was Sun
day. He attended religious services
on board the Swedish cruiser Fylgia,
entertained a small party of friends
at luncheon on board the ship, was
almost mObbed by the crowd when he
came ashore, motored through Central
park, and gave a small dinner at the
Hotel Aston
Sunday was reception day aboard
the cruiser, and following the custom
established when the Duke of Abruzza,
Italian, visited New York, it seemed
that every visitor wanted to carry
away a souvenir. Glasses, dishes,
sailors caps and officers sword scab-
bards-in fact, practically everything
lying loose was taken. One enthusiast
tic hunter even carried away the
breechblock latch of the big gun in the
forward latch.
1t is estimated that 10000 people
visited the cruiser and while the
chief engineer believes his engines
are still intact, the weight of articles
taken by relic hunters was almost
enough to make a change in the re-
gistered displacement of the ship.
Answering a knock at the back
door OF his cabin about midnight Sun
day night, Frank Todd, we'll known
logger of Hoquiam, was brutally muir
dered by unknown thugs on his door
steps and then robbed of over 800.

MISS MARIE FISCHER
 ARRIVES HERE

Miss Marie Fischer, an expert hospital attendant from St. Louis, has arrived in the city and will in future be assistant to Doctor A. Sacconi, superintendent at the Jeff ferson county poor house. Mss Fischer is a niece of pr Sacconi and has had many years experience in caring for patients at various St. Louis institutions. She will take the pla of Mrs. Sacconi, the estimable Wife of the poorhouse superinten- dent whose services for the poor and unfortunate inmates at the poorhouse was of inestimable value to Jefferson county for many years. Mrs. Sacconfs death a few weeks ago left a vacancy at the poorhouse that is hard to fill. She was devot- ed to her work and her untimely death is keenly felt there. Doctor Sacconi has made the county one of the best, if not the best official in thta capacity, it ever had. With Miss Fischer he will doubtless keep up the good work at the county insti- tuition.

Bell, of the Thomas A. Bell Con- struction company, which has the contract for the building of the road, made his report, following a survey made recently on the propos- ed route.

It will be of great benefit to Pine Bluff. The survey was discussed at length and Mr. Bell announced that ne would leave this afternoon for St. Louis to complete his work, pre- paratory to beginning actual work on the new road. He took his es- inmates, drawings and survey sheets with him to have tn m blue printed.
 Three surveys have been made for the new road. One is from Pine Bluff to Lonoke, another from this city to DeVall's Bluff and still an- other to Mesa which is just two miles from DeVall's Bluff. The terminus of the proposed road has not yet been decided on. There is one thing certain a director said this morning, the Pine Bluff North and Aouth road will surely be built. Everything is in readiness for the beginning of actual work and in the course of few months track laying will begin."

MEYER FINDS
 GREAT FRAUD
Cheated of $425.0OO by Cheap Paper in Star.ped En,cI.
 0pes and Wrappers.

Washington, Oct. S.-Postmaster- General Meyer has suspended the payment of all moneys due from his department to the Hartford Manufac turing Company of Hartford, Conn.,, and has submitted the matter to the attorney-genral for such further ac- ton as may be deemed proper
 The Hartford Manufacturing Con- pany, up to July last, supplied the stamped envelopes and newspaper wrappers sold at offices. Chemical analysis of samples has disclosed the fact that the composition of the en- velopes' paper has been below the re- quirements of the contract, and, ac- Ecording to the computation of experts the company has in the last four wears wrongfully benefited to the ex- tent of about $425,O00. :. One of the manufacturers who sup piled paper to the company has ad- nitted that his firm furnished cheap CT material than specified in the con- tract, and that it was so made at the instance of the Hartford Manufactur- ing Company. Suspicion rose several months ago that the Hartford con- pany had been using inferior paper for some time, and very extensive examination was required in order to determine just how long the specifi- cations had been disregarded.
 During the investigation a new con- tract was entered into for the sup plying of stamped envelopes and newspaper wrappers with the Mer- cantile Corporation of Dayton, O., be- ginning July 1
 As the Hartford company had car ried on successive contracts for near ly thirty years, naturally there was no other plant in existence to do this particular class of work, but the guarantees furnished by the new company showing it's financial stand ing and ability to obtain a plant, pa per machinery and labor, satisfied the postmaster-gen after several weeks personal inquiry in Washing ton and elsewhere. The product must average nearly 4,000,000 envelopes every working day in the year.
 During the last few months of it's contract the Hartford Manufacturing company furnished envelopes up to the contract requirements.
