deceiving would-be victims as to his finan- cial standing.
 Biddison's Son Involved.
 Biddison's son, Herbert w., appears to have been aware of the nature of his fathers business, for a letter from him shows that he had borrowed two of the worthless bonds of the Central Coal. Lum- Der and Construction company and had put them up as security to obtain goods from scale company in Dayton.
 Tn his letter the boy urged his father to write to the scale company In the name of Wilcox, the alleged president of the Central Coal, Lumber and Construction company. No such person as Wilcox ex- ists, the police say.
 J. Montefore Meyers, who was arrested recently in Pittsburg on warrant sworn out by Biddison, charging that he had stolen some of the Central Coal company's bonds, and who in turn caused Biddison's arrest as a forger, occupied the same room In the Tombs for several hours to- day with Biddison. Meyers is very bitter against Biddison. He says the latter caused his arrest on forged receipts, that he never had any bonds belonging to Biddison and that his sole connection was through the sale of some bonds by a broker named Mordcai of 66 Broadway
 Meyers alleges he did not know Bid- dison until last February, when he re- ceived note from him asking his aid in disposing of some of the Central com- pany's securities Meyers arranged for 10 of the bonds to be handed to Mordeoai. Later Meyers says he bought some of the bonds and gave a note for sl6,750 with some cash to Biddison for them. Those bonds were turned over by Biddison to @ lawyer named w. H. Mendel on behalf of

MODERN WOODMEN
 ADMIT ARKANSAS
Pine Bluff Members of That Order Receive Information That Is Caus-
 ing Great Rejoicing Among Them.

The Pine Bluff members of the
 order of the Modern Woodmen of America are very jubilant over the receipt of a telegram from the head camp of that order, which is now in session at Peoria, Ill.,, stating that Arkansas has been admitted to it's jur- isdiction. This not only means that the members of the order in the State will have the privilege of hav- ing their own local camps, but it shows the strong perjudice that has so long existed among the people of other States against Arkansas as a healthful State has been, to great extent, eliminated.
 The order of Modern Woodmen has total of more than l,OOO,OO0 members in the 39 States and Terri tories within it's jurisdiction, and is the largest order of its kind in the United States. It has guarded with great care the extension of it's terri tory, and this is the third effort that has been made to get Arkansas into it's jurisdiction. Scattered throughout this State are more than 1000 mem bers who, through headquarters at Little Rock and at Fort Smith and
 Siloam Springs, have been working to get the State into the jurisdiction and who will be elated over the result of their efforts.
 The members, through the clun
 known as the Modern Woodmen Boomers of Little Rock living at Little Rock and throughout the cen tral part of the State, were repre- sented by Dr. G. w. Hinchee of Car lisle and from him the message bring ing the good news came here.

 by the audience is passed over and

 awakened in full view of the audi
 ence, clearly convincing every one that she has been in a mysterious trance.
 Prof. Rettick stated last night that he was willing at all times to use any lady from this city in the act who might volunteer in order to demon strate his ability. This is the most wonderful exhibition ever witnessed
 in Pine Bluff and the verdict for the
 Orpheo will undoubtedly be capacity
 the remainder of the week, which it
 certainly deserves, as does Manager Wilhoit for presenting this high class mystery to Pine Bluff theatergoers.
