 Both Making High Speed.
 Meanwhile the freight train had passed Highbridge. The engineer knew that the Blue Grass Special was coming, but he supposed that 1t was behind time and would pass him at Burgin.

Scientists Up Arkansas River.

Sclehtists Up Arkansas River.
 Arkansas archaeology is the subject oe research being prosecuted in this state by party of scientists connect cd wit6 the Academy of Natural Sciences at Philadelphia. Dr. NJ. C. Miller. Clarence B. Moore and Artra W. Cline. the archaeologists in charge of the expedition, are now on board the steam yacht Gopher
 pr. Miller was in Little Rock a few days ago and gave a brief account of the expedition. The Gopher" which Is sea-going yacht drawing four feet of water, started at Charleston, S. C., and skirted around the Florida benin. sula and coasts of the Gulf states to the delta of the Mississippi, which it entered
 The earthern structures of the an cient mound builders on the banks of the Sunfower and Yazoo rivers in Mississippi were examined and excav- ated. but few archaeological remains of value to science were discovered. II was found that most of the mounds in the Mississippi lowlands had been thrown up by these prehistoric peo- pie for purposes of protection against high water. and that dwellings of earth were found on top of them.
 After lying at Greenville, the Goph- CT proceeded up the Arkansas, and about 30 miles from it's conjunction with the Mississippi excavations were made al what is known as the Menard place. Here some of the richest speci- mems of pottery were found and most of the barrows were found to be burial mounds, which invariably offer more to the arehaeologist than the mere dwelling places of the builders.
 All bones exhumed by the members of the expedition must be turned over to the Museum at Washington. Other excavations have been made since last fall at Douglas. Old River Land ing, near Arkansas Post, and at Greer.
 On some of the ancient pottery found in Arkansas were found varia- tions of the mystic symbol of the swastika which can be traced in the artistic designs found on the handi- work of all peoples of ages past in Egypt, Chaldea, Japan, Corea and China The origin of the sign is mystery, but it is thought to have some universal religious significance. It survives among the ultra moderns in the shape of the faddish swastika pin

May Be RiIliets Partner in Attack.

Is Harry Crumpton, the handsome young barber. arrested at Hope and taken to Little Rock, by Detective Hawkins, the partner of Bert Rilliet, who was shot and killed about two weeks ago by Charles ] Roberts. railway mail clerk, after the two men had attempted To snatch diamond stud from him al Little Rock? The police say so. Roberts says he is al most positive that Crumpton is the man who fled when Rilliet was shot. Crumpton. who is a native of Arkan- sas, having relatives in Paraetuld and brother in Little Rock, will base his defense upon an alibi. He claims to have been at the home of his brother there on the night the attempt was made to rob Roberts. The pris- oner, who is being held on a charge of attempted highway robbery, main tained splendid composure when sweated by the detectives Thursday night. He was brought into the pri- vate room of the detective headquar- ters, where he underwent a searching interview At the close of the in- terview Crumpton exhibited some ner- vousness, his breath came fast, and his heart throbs were almost audible to those present Closeted with Crumpton and the detectives was City Attorney w. Burt Brooks. Chief of Police Frank McMahon stated that he is satisfied that the department has hn i,ht ton face to face at the police station late Thursday afternoon The mail clerk was practically positive that CrCmpton is the man who was with Rilliet and whom he shot at as the man fled. Roberts stated that Crump ton did not have on the same clothing as Rilliets companion wore on that fight. Crumpton's capture was effected after some clever detective work by the Little Rock Police Department. Shortly after the attempted hold-up and killing of Rilliet, Chief McMahon had letter from George T. O'Haver. chief of police at Memphis, enclosing photograph of C-umpton, stating that Crumpton had escaped from the rock pile there. and was wanted to serve out the balance of his term. The department at Little Rock learned that both Crumpton and Rilliet were barbers, and that they left Memphis on the same day The police also l found that Crumpton had left Little Rock on the day following the killing of Rilliet. They tracked him to Arka- delphia and from there to Hope, where his arrest was ordered While in jail at Hope, Crumpton is alleged to have stolen $10 from a fellow pris- oner, who was intoxicated. According to Detective Hawkins, the sheriff at Hope asked that Crumpton be search ed at the depot upon complaint of the drunken prisoner When Crumpton was confronted with the charge, he is said to have pulled 5000 out of his pocket ad handed il to the sheriff to be returned to the drunken prisoner. By order of Chief McMahon, Crump- ton was removed to the county jail where a close watch will be kept upon him.

A School For Tried Actors.
By an arrangement with Charles
Frohman, the theatrical manager, Otis
Skinner, the actor, expects to conduct
a novel school for the trained actor be-
ginning next season at New York. 1t
will be comparable to the postgraduate
courses of the universities. Mr. Skin
ner himself will play the whole season
at New York in several plays at the
head of company over which he will
have entire charge. The new princi-
pie to be used is the interchange of
actors, SO that in the course of the
season all the stock actors and ac-
tresses in the various Frohman COM
panies will be called upon to play some
other parts than the ones for which
they are originally cast. The object is
to give all chance to diversity their
talents and widen their experience.
