BOB CLEGG
 IN TROUBLE
Charged With Securing Fifty Dollars From the LeyerenZ.TrulOckC Com. pany Through Fraudulent
 Means-IS in Jail.

Charged with passing a check for
 $50 on the Leverenz -Trulock Com pany Saturday night at about O. clock, which was afterward found to
 be of no value, Bob Clegg was ar
 rested Saturday night and placed in
 the city jail. The charge against him was botaining money under false pretenses.
 It has been understood that Clegg came into Leverenz-Trulock's store
 and settled an account, for which he gave $50 check on the Cotton Belt
 Savings and Trust Comany's bank of
 this city, signed by Mrs. M. M. Clegg,
 by T. M. Clegg, and upon investiga-
 tion, the check was found to be
 worthless. MT. Trulock paid the diff ference between the account and the check to him in cash. When he took the check to the bank he was told that the check was no good. He then mo- titied the police authorities and they immediately arrested Clegg on a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses.
 He asked of the police authorities to be allowed to make bail last night, but up to late hour this request
 had not been granted him. The case will come up before Judge Stewart in police court Monday morning, but it
 VIII proSably be transferred to a justice of the peace court.

HOME ADDITION

It is pleasure of the Graphic today to present through it's adver- Using columns what is probably the most unique proposition ever sub mitted to the people of Pine Bluff an opportunity to secure valuable piece of real estate at the small in vestment of 5c per day.
 HOME ADDITION lies between 18th and 2S tn avenues, ten minutes walk from the car line at 26th and Cherry streets. It is one of the pret- tiest flats of land ever opened as an addition to the people of Pine Bluff. We do not recall an instance of a real estate proposition in Pine Bluff where the agent was author ized to give the purchaser his mon- ey back if the purchaser was not | satisfied with his lot. So sure is the owner of this property that an in- l vestment here will more than please you, that he promises your money l back if you are not satisfied after carrying out the contract for pur- chase of lot.
 Opportunity knocks but once. Go out and look over the property and | see Tracy Mills at once for a lot 1 or a bunch of them.

they were about to step to the street
the car started forward suddenly and

Then the local police were notified and

LEARN GEOGRAPHY
THROUGH LECTURE
Naturalist and Scientist Makes Inter-
esting Talk on Alaska Under Aus
pices of Young Mems Chris
tian Association

The stereopticon lecture on Alaska
by Henry Lee, the great hunter and
naturalist, under the auspices of the
Y. M. c. A. last night in Blanchard hall
was interesting and instructive to the
large audience, Notwithstanding the
poor focus on the canvas much of che
time.
Mr.. Lee prefaced his lecture by stat
ing that as general rule people did not
enter the heart of the vast country of
Alaska, but only gathered their infor-
nation from the exterior portions or
the easiest approaches, using their i'm
agination, which was detrimental 10
actual facts. He explained that 1t re-
quired much perseverance, hardship and
study to accomplish the desired effects
of the beautiful day and night scenes
that prevailed among the mountains,
canyons and waters of that rugged and
grand country.
In a clear, distinct but not heavy
voice Mr.. Lee explains his subjects in
a very candid and effecting manner, en-
tirely devoid Of personal aggrandiso-
ment and yet with a characteristic
familiarity with his subject.
A map was first thrown on the can
vas showing the general outline of
Alaska. From this the scenes were
changed to mountains, canyons and
waters, and then to beautiful floral
views, which were followed by scenes
of animal life. Very impressive scenes

Discuss Alien Act
The principal topic which has brought
the Japanese together is not the school
question: but bill before the Califor-
ma Legislature preventing all foreign
ers from holding property here. This
the Japanese regard as a slap at them.
thousands of japanese hold property
here, but Peter Suski owner of a pho
tographic studio at First and Main,
said last night that his countrymen
were under the impression that this
law would apply to those already hold
ing property; in other words that it was
retroactive. When told 1t could ap-
ply only to future investments and
concerned all nations as well as the
japanese, he said that explanation
might be new phase on the situation.
we are only talking matters over so
far,' said Suski, "and it may be next
week before we will have made up our
minds what to recommend"
The organization feels keenly the
proposed anti-alien property statute.
AS leading Japanese expressed it, there

Talk of War Is Bosh
