CITY AT MERCY
 0F FLAMES Three Fires Was the Record of the Fire Boys in the Past Twenty Four Hours Did Good Work.
ONE WAS IN RIVER
Launch Caught Fire and Bremen
 Had to Upset It to Extingiush the
 Blaze-Sayed Cars of Cotton in Iron Mountain Yards.

Three calls is the record of the Pine Bluff fire department for yes- terday and last night. At 10 o'clock yesterday morning the department was called to the residence of M. L. Bradford, No. 17o0 West Fifth avenue. A pile of wood was ignited behind stove and promised to make considerable trouble. When the department came it was some little time before the fire could be located, because of the dense smoke The interior of the room was badly burned, but no other damage was done. The fire was extinguished by the use of the chemical.
 Last night gasoline launch be- longing to A. M. Shottle caught fire and although it foated in the Ar kansas river, the alarm was turned in and the department responded. Fortunately the fire was in the river, for the water system was out of commission and no water could ge gotten from the hydrants. The fire boys tipped the boat and returned to the station. At an early hour this morning a carload of cotton in the Iron Mountain yards caught fire and the firemen had some difficulty in keeping the fire from other cars close by. An insufficient supply of water was given them. Chief Tony Briner stated this morning that the property owners had very little fire protection with the present condi tions. He said he hoped the Pine Bluff Light & Water company would not be long in making the necessary repairs. At present the city is at the mercy of the flames. Should a big fire occur in the business district the fire department would be helpless with the present water supply.

TO MAINTAIN
 ITS OWN LEVEE
State Will Be Asked to Do So by Tax Payers of Lincoln and Desha
 Counties.

Colonel Gus Waterman, chairman of the Linwood and Auburn Levee Board, and one of the best posted men in Ar kansas on levee matters, was in the city today and consulted with local business men relative to a bill which is soon to be introduced in the legis- lature at Little Rock. The bill is to require the state to maintain the levee along the convict farm, formerly known os the Cummins place. The tax payers of Lincoln and Desha coun- ties appose the idea of maintaining the levee for the state, which is now the case. The bill to be presented asks for an appropriation of $500 per mile annually. The convict farm has a levee frontage of or miles. The bill is generally endorsed by local business men and others interested in levee protection.
 Colonel Waterman, who as one of the Board officials, frequently inspects the leyee, says it is in bad condition at several different points on the con- vict farm and that it cannot hold in the event of big rise of the Arkan- sas river. No work has been done of any material nature on the convict farm levee section for several years.

JEFFR|ES BOYS
 WERE ACQUITTED Pine Bluff Woman, Sister of the Accused Men, Prov ed Valuable Witness for the Defense.
TRIED AT LITTLE ROCK
Were Charged With Having Murder. ed Mrs. Clarence Jeiiries-Pure. ly Circumstantial Eyidence-Case Attracted Much Attention,

The evidence of Mrs. Ella Will Hams, Pine Bluff woman, figured prominently in the case of Clarence and William Jeffries, who were ac- quilted of murder charge in Little Rock Sunday in Judge Lea's division of the circuit court Mrs. Williams is a sister of the fortunate defend ants. The Jeffries were charged with the murder of Mrs. Clarence men.
 During the trial the court room was crowded and it was stated by court officials that more women were in attendance than have appeared at a criminal trial in many years. The two brothers were in the court room side by side and when the verdict was read, which gave them their liberty and exonerated them of the crime, their faces showed apprecia- tion. Both thanked each one of the jurors separately. Upon the reading of the verdict the defendants were discharged by Judge Lea.
 The ,Jeffries brothers were accused of taking the life of Mrs. Jeffries and the defense was that she met her death by accidental drowning. There was not single witness who had been an eyewitness to the drowning. The evidence submitted by the state was circumstantial.
 It was about 5:30 o'clock Satur- day afternoon when the case went to the jury and verdict was not reached until late Saturday night. The verdict, if received Saturday night, had to be returned by turned at that hour the jury re- mained together until yesterday when the verdict was re- turned in open court.

and when the police prepared to lock hlm in a cell to await an inyesti- gatlon, Vasque took a roll of bills rom his pocket and put up cash bond of $200. The case was trans 1erred to Justice Knox's court this morning. Vasque appeared at 10 CLOCK to answer the charge. The police secured continuance until tomorrow morning in order to furth- CT investigate the matter.
 In several of the dental offices this morning patients were turned away because of the scarcity of mug get gold, which is used commonly by dentists. The supply of nugget gold is secured from government hints and it is necessary to order an additional supply for local offices.
 The police believe that Vasque is in some way implicated with the burglaries. At the offices of the various dentists who were robbed, it was stated that Vasque displayed an unusual interest in the surround ings when he visited them. No windows or doors were forced by the burglar. The police say the thief used skeleton keys. No gold was found in Vasque's trunk in his room at Second and Texas streets. The police further state that they find no skeleton keys in his possess SiOn

DENTAL OFFICES
 BURGLAR|zED Mi Local 'Teeth Fillers" Relieved of Nugget Gold Valued at Nearly Five Hundred Dollars.
SPANIARD IS HELD
Visited Dentists Saturday to Sell Them Cuban Cigars by Frank Stewart and Gave Cash Bond of Two Hundred Dollars.

Gold nuggets, valued at nearly five hundred dollars, were stolen from five dental offices in the downtown district of Pine Bluff at an early hour yester- day morning, by burglar, believed by the police to be an experienced i. crook. D. Vasque, a Spaniard, who kisited the various dentists Saturday Afternoon to dispose of Cuban cigars, is under arrest. After being arrested yesterday he put up a cash bond of $200 and was released. He will be given preliminary hearing before Justice J. P. Knox Tuesday morning.
 The burglaries were first discovered Sunday morning by Doctors w. P Grandy, C. U. Mayfield, T. c. Edgar, L.. K. Land and Black Brothers and Payne. They reported their losses to the police and in each instance a story was related to Chief of Police Stewart regarding the visit of cigar peddler at their offices on the afternoon be- fore. In each office the burglar ran- sacked desks, cabinets and other fur niture, but all that was taken was the gold, which is used in it's crude state in filling teeth. Similar burglaries were reported in Little Rock several days ago, but the police of that city failed to capture the guilty man. It is known that Vasque came to Pine Bluff from the capital city. He denies the charges against him.
 Immediately upon being informed of the burglaries, Chief Stewart de- tailed several patromen and the ]tty detective on the case. Late in 1sthe afternoon Constable Frank Stewart shadowed a man at the Union Depot who answered the descrip- tion of the cigar peddler. He sent for two of the dentists and when they arrived to identify the stranger, he had gone. Constable Stewart trailed him to his room at Second and Texas streets. He was placed under arrest and taken to police Headquarters, where he was put through the sweating process. The Spaniard maintained his innocence

HISTORICAL
 LIBRARY
Arkansas History Commission Rec ommends That the State Provide
 for Archives in New State Capitol.


 in it's annual report to the governor makes a number of recommendations regarding the preservation of Arkan sas history and suggests that the state provide rooms in the new state capitol for historical library, museum and art gallery, says the Little Rock Ga zette
 Among the recommendations of the committee is the following:
 That the General Assembly set apart rooms in the new capitol build ing for historical library, museum and art gallery; that the duty of car ing for them be imposed upon the di- rector of the Department of Archives and History; that the Arkansas His torical association and the Arkansas Historical society be requested, when the state has made provision for it, to turn over their books, papers and journals to the library This course will guarantee their permanent pre-
 
 nucleus of a collection of books and papers that would in time grow to large proportions, and by being plac- ed at the state capitol they would be available for the general public. Such was the action of Wisconsin some thirty years ago, and their library is nn "a npil of l,n cto ,o1 icy once adopted will inspire confi- dence and the people having valuable papers, rare books or relics will cheerfully donate them to the state The library would come to be the cen ter to which students of our history would gather for material. Many of the papers of the eminent men of Arkansas have been lost. They are too valuable to be left to the changing fortunes and interests of family life. Many of the Fulton pa )ers have been destroyed, and it was with difficulty that the few remaining papers were located. It was bcause
 
 Ions, that members of Gen. Cleburnes | amily last year presented some pa Ders to the Tennessee Historical so- ] ,iety. "A brother of the general, in 1 writing the secretary about the mat CT, stated that the family recognized he prior rights of Arkansas, but that m tO hot ] he state was interested.
 "The museum should be filled with elics, historical and anthropological, n the latter of which Arkansas d5ounds. The state is rich in abor- ginal remains. There are many pr- ate collections that should be together and placed in one central museum. Our mounds should e thoroughly explored under the au- hority of the state government and he relics thus secured deposited in he state museum. Tn the library hould be gathered books, pamphlets, ewspaper files and papers bearing on lrkansas and her people, A full set f the printed public newspaper files, |. lew and old. and the public records f Arkansas, indexed classified and ar anged, should be found here. Pic ures of distinguished Arkansans and |, f historic places or scenes should be laced in the art gallery. It is now h ifficult and in some cases impossible 0 get pictures of some of the emil lent men of early days. In but few ases can good picture be secured f an. ,-bc-lum men"
