CIRCUIT COURT
 AT LITTLE ROCK
Will Have Two of the Big gest Murder Cases Ever
 Coming at One Term.

Little Rock, Sept. 28. Both branches of the circuit court opened this morning and the first division, where all criminal matters are tried, starts off with a rush. Judge R. J. Lea charged the grand jury, which will pass upon two of the biggest murder cases ever coming in one term of court here. These are the cases of Charles R. Parsel, who shot and killed Leon s. Ehrenberg, his former business par t n e r several weeks ago, and w. l.. Greer, who last week stabbed to death J. w. Reneau, an Iron Mountain brakeman. Judge Lea will this afternoon take up the habeas corpus proceedings by which Lewis Rhoton, attorney for Greer, hopes to get him ad mitted to bail. On account of the prominence of Parsel and Ehrenberg, this case will be con- tested on every point. Greer. who was a collector of bad debts. and killed Reneau over an old account. has the backing of the majority of the business men of Little Rock, and II Judge Lea decides to allow him bond he will have no trouble in making It, no matter how great the ammount. With Senator Davis assisting in the prosecution of Greer and Lewis Rhoton defending him, lively times in the court are promised.

BETTER THAN EVER

An exceedingly interesting re- vival was made at Forepaugh's s. where LeComte and Flesher's company appeared in "A Savage King" The large and respon- sive audiences gave their entire approval of the play, the players and to the effective production.
 "A Savage King" is a dramatiza- tion by Clarence bennett of Gen. Lew Wallace's story "The Fair God" The action is laid in Mexico during the reign of the Emperor Maximilian, and the plot centres around the adven- lures of a slave who is the last descendant of Montezuma. The plot is unfolded in a keenly inter- esting manner and gives rise to many dramatic episodes. The scenery displayed was unusually handsome. and the tropical beau ties of picturesque Mexico were strikingly shown. Mr. Snoad appeared in the leading role. His impersonation was marked by consistent vigor, and was satis- factory at all times. Excellent characterizations were presented by the other members of the company. Philadelphia Ledger.

CASH GAIN FALLS
BELOW ESTIMATE

New York. June 6-The Financier will
say:
Instead of a gain of about 100000 in
cash, which had been expected as re-
suit of the weeks operations, the state
ment of the associated banks of New
York city, issued Saturday, showed
gain of only $1,716,900 cash based on ac-
tual conditions, and decrease of 81, 300
in cash based on average conditions. As
government deposits in the banks re-
NAMED almost stationary at $19,S4S. 600,
il is difficult to account for the small
gain in cash holdings since the gain from
the interior for the week was heavy.
Partial explanations may show, however,
in the summary of state banks trust
companies in Greater New York not re-
porting to the New York clearing house.
these institutions having shown gain of
three and one-half millions in cash for
the week. The associated banks, taking
the statement of actual conditions as
basis decreased their loans 1852, 700 for
the week while deposits fell 81, 1926, 100 The
gain in cash reported, together with the
decrease in reserve requirements, owing Q
tne decreased QepOSltS, dccOuHleu lol the
increase in reserve of $3,012, 775. The actual
surplus reserve now stands at 1920, 725,
or 49, 80 per cent of all deposits, including
those of the government. The state banks
and trust companies, particularly the lat
ter, show important gains which over
shadow those of the clearing house banks.
The loans of these outside institutions
rose during the week 14,45S,500, while
their net deposits increased $19,SS1. 800, this
increase being due probably to operations
connected with important bond syndicate
deals The trust companies evidently are
adding to their cash holdings, which by
law must be increased another per cent
BY July l, the statement as whole, while
1t does not prove, cannot be construed as
indicating much change in money rates
for the better.

kIKADO GIVEN THREE
NIGHTS DURING WEEK

A musical event of the week will be
"Mikado," at the Jefferson theatre, June
,.12 and 10. 1t will be presented by the
Jessime Opera company, which is said
to include fine talent and is to be given
for the benefit of All Saints Episcopal
Sunday school, None of the operas by
Gilbert and Sullivan had greater success
on the stage than the one now being re-
viewed. The story SO cleverly developed
in the libretto is as follows:
The Mikado of Japan being much an
noyed by the prevalence of flirting in his
realm, has decreed it crime punishable
by decaptation. Some young mobiles Sc
cure the appointment to the office of
lord high executioner of one Koko, an ex-
tailor, who is himself under sentence of
death.
Katisha, a lady of the court, is very
much in love with the heir-apparent, but
her love is not reciprocated. Incensed
by his utter indifference she represents =
the Mikado that his son has trihed with
her affections True to his principles,
the Mikado orders his son to marry
katiSha or lose his lie. Inc son, tnere-
upon flees the court and under the name
of Nanki- pooh, became a wondering min

the beautiful ward of Koko, who, with
her two sisters, is at ladies' seminary.
When Yum Yum returns home Nanki
pooh follows and learns that she is be-
trothed to her guardian, Koko, and in
his despair is about to kill himself. About
this time Koko receives a letter from the
Mikado notifying him that unless an ex-
ecution takes place in Letipu within the
next month the office of Lord High Ex-
ecutioner will be taken from him. This
places Koko in a most unpleasant posi-
ton, since he is the only one in the vii
lage under death sentence When Koko
learns that Nanki-pooh is determined to
die, he endeavors to persuade the young
man. to let himself be beheaded rather
than commit suicide. Nanki-pooh agrees
to this upon condition that he be allowed
to marry Yum YUM

Union Springs June 6.--(Special.) For
mer Postmaster A. c. Walter shot and
killed his wife and then shot himself to-
night about o'clock. There has been
trouble between them for some time.

his disposition and family troubles.
He and his wife had separated, or at
least she and the two children had left
him. Mrs. Walter still held a clerkship
in the postoffce and tonight Walter
walked into the postoffice just after the
mail was distributed from the evening
trains and without word fired upon his
wife, fatally wounding her with a bullet
in the head and one in the side. He then
shot himself twice in the head. He is
still breathing at this hour with no chance
for recovery. They leave two children.
Mrs. Walter belonged to a prominent
family here. The tragedy has created a
profound sensation here.
