WAR DEPARTMENT
 CANNOT GIVE AID
Judge Gould and His Associates Told They Must Go to Congress for
 Pine Bluff Relief.

Washington, Dec. l1.-JudGe Gould of Pine Bluff and other citizens of Arkansas. including Congressman Joe T. Robinson. called on General Marsh all chief of the engineers of the War Department, today. and presented facts sustaining their petition for de- partmental action to cure the troubles in the Arkansas river at that town. It developed that the department takes the view forecast in previous dis patches, the relief asked for must come only through congressional &C., tion. The delegation urged the nec- essity of immediate action, showing the conditions now existing and of fering strong argument for greater promptitude than could be secured If they were forced to await further ac- tion by Congress. The department however, clung to it's position that under conditions now prevailing the department is powerless to act in the matter as desired by the people there.
 It has been held uniformly by the interpreters Of the law for the de- partment that strict limitations are thrown around the engineers as 70 expenditure of appropriated moneys, it being requested that all funds pro- vided be put forth in the manner specifically set forth in the appro- priation measures. and that it is not discretionary for the department to proceed along lines not indicated i'll the appropriation bill.
 Department Handicapped.
 It is understood that this view of the law in no wise is tantamount to the department making the wish the father of the thous'ht." but on the con- trary the department often, as in this instance is compelled to refrain

Nathan Jenkins and Thomas Osles- by, negro religious fanatics, calling themselves the Christ brothers and messengers from Christ, were arrest ed by Deputy Constables Felton and Spiyy on a charge of lunacy. They were placed in the county jail to be held until County Judge Gould re- turns from Washington and investi- gates their cases. John Carlton, an- other of the. so-called Christ family, is being sought by the authorities and charge.
 The negroes wrote various county officials here recently warning them against their conduct as officials and predicting that Pine Bluff would be destroyed. They insist on wearing nothing but fig leaves and have been
 arrested on former occasions for blocking traffic i'll the downtown dis tricts while preaching their so-called official religion" to superstitious ne- sroes. Their sermons have created q small sized panic among Irresponsible negroes. Justice J. A. Frazier, who re- ceived one of the holy missives," committed the men to the county jail at the instance of Prosecuting Attor- ney w. D. Jones, who was also the recipient of one of the letters.

the projected Astoria, Seaside &

heights back of the city and in his
wanderings ran into hornets nest.
"Old Booze" doesn't like humble
bees and hornets, for he recalls other
experiences with them in his puppy
days. This particular nest of hornets
was OF the fighting kind and they took
after the brindle bull dog in the hot

fought back valiantly and refused to
leave the field, though the winged

Yesterday, while the dog was taking a
stroll without his master, kindly
disposed man saw the dog and his
swollen head. "How horrible" he
said: "How the poor dog must be
suffering" He prevailed upon the
brindle to follow him, and the man
and dog sought out a we'll known vet

is so used to kindness from humans
that he never objected to the atten-

liberated tooth. When Mr., Evans
