PARIS TELEPHONE
SAVED OUR SHIPS

+ rio de Janeiro, Jan. Ono arrests
have been made as yet Of the anar-
chists who planned to blow up the
American battleships here. It was
learned today that the conspirators
were five Italians, one Canadian and
one German. The police are still
searching for them in the city. In
formation was received here this
morning from Paris to the effect that
the first clue to the conspiracy among
the anarchists was secured when a
young American overheard a cor -ersa-
ton over telephone in a cafe in that
city, in which the plot to destroy
the American battleships was talked
Of. Information was hurriedly cabled
to the United States and Rio de Janeiro
and within few days thereafter, late
in December, ship load Of explosives
were intercepted when they were
bound for Brazil. The departure of
the ship for Brazil was learned
through the same telephone message,
which resulted in the revelation Of the
anarchistic plot.

OF the Stockholders and Directors Held
Last Night-All the Old Officers
We're Re.Elected-Remarka Prog.
ress OF the Local Bank.

AT the annual meeting of the stock
holders Of the Pine Bluff Trust Coz
pany held at the Sarlors Of the COM
Eany's bank last night all of tbs. o.,
directors and officers who have so sue
cefsfully piloted the affairs ,: that
substantial institution for several
Wears were reelected and tiie usual
five per cent sem~annual dividend was
dec,ared. After declaring ii, divi-
:.CnG handsome profit was realized
and placed in the reserve fund # 'ie
bank.
The directors reelected las. night
ard the officers elected by them COR
the ensuing year follows:
F.. l.. Dilley, J. S. Ingram, C. S.
Bacon, j. f. Rutherford, Jeff Hicks,

The reelection of Mr.. Dilley to the
presidency makes him the Oldest bank

II. Langford from the presidency Of
the Citizens Bank and tho death of Ma
jor II. II. Hum. Of the Merchants

at the head OF local banking institu-
lions for some years, leaves this dis
tinction to Mr.. Dilley.
The Pine Bluff Trust COMPANY is 4
comparatively young banking house,
but its progress has ben remarkable.
The recent statement Of the bank
shows its deposits to be $4,000 in ex-
cess OF the previous year. Its direc-
tory and list Of officials compose some
OF the most substantial business men
in Pine Bluff.

when the two were travelling
through Europe, Harry Thaw swal-
lowed the contents of bottle OF
poison. while they were stopping at
the Monte Carlo Hotel. He was
worked with by physicians all night.
District Attorney Jerome was
most severe In his cross examina-
ton of the girl-like witness. He
frequently raised his voice to high
pitch, in questioning, and brought
forth objections from counsel for
the defense. The objections were
repeatedly sustained by the court.
During MS queries, District Attor-
ney Jerome brought out Evelyn's lax
ideas Of morality while she was
school girl and finally made her adj
NIT that she gave money, which had
been given to her by Stanford
White, to Thaw.
The District Attorney made a de-
tcrmincd effort to have the public
excluded from the court room, but
failed. The court overruled him in
his motion. Mr.. Jerome then OBJ
jccted to a recital of Evelyn's
story, on the grounds that no pre-
cedent had been set for the story
she had related to Thaw in Paris.

stand tor q second time in an effort

affected the negro, who had TWEEN

DoingS at Court.

President Judge I'll. A. Hall, and AS
sociates Hon. Geo. j. LaBar and John
Mcdonald opened court on Monday.
The constables having filed their re-
turns and as usual "don't know of any
violations" called down the rath of the
Court who in very plain language told
what the Court would expect from
them in the future.

Dan'l Mccormick pleads guilty to
the charge of selling liquor without a

plead guilty to the charge of assaulting

In case of Com. vs. OFT Skinner,
Charge larceny. Verdict of jury guilty.
The case of Ora O'Dell consumed
the balance of the time before we go to
to press.
Court grants license of American
House and st. Charles Hotel and re-
fuses the application for Eagle Hotel.
The Court has not yet passed sent
ence on convicted parties.
THURoDAY.
We have delayed going to press
until this Thursday evening, hoping
the trial might close.
The attorneys for the defense placed
ODell on the stand this afternoon in
his own behalf. He was still on the
stand when court adjourned at $50.
O'Dell swore that he did not remem-
ber what happened the day the MUIR
der was committed; that he does re-
member that he had a quart of liquor
the day before; don't remember any
thing that happened until he was TAX
ell to the Justices office after the muir
der.
After O'Dell completes his testi-
mony, which possibly will close the
defense, the Commonwealth will intro
duce rebuttal evidence. 1t is hardly
possible that the case will go to the
jury before Friday evening.
