COMMISSIONERS NOT PERMITTED TO RESIGN

The resignation of w. N. Trulock and J. B. Speers, of the board of i'm provement of Paving District No. 26, was submitted to the city council last night, owing to other business which requires their attention.

But the City Council Re fused to Accept It and
 Wants Investigation.
MEMS FRS ASK TO QUIT
Alderman Jordan Says Committee Made No Report and Should
 Continue Service,

When the city council by vote of , to 5 last night declined to grant the request of Alderman Fred Fox, chairman, J. A. Clement and I. F. Hut that they be discharged as the special committee, appointed some weeks ago to investigate the official acts of Chief of Police A. J. Stewart. who resigned when the committee was preparing to hold it's first session. it put itself on record as favoring a thorough investigation into the off, cial acts of Chief Stewart, regardless Of the fact that he resigned while un- der fire. The three members of the special committee pleaded and insist ed that they be freed of further ser vice as committeeman, but the other members of the council voted that the committee be not discharged.
 The action of the council followed an executive session of that body. at which Mayor Toney and City Attor- ney Sorrells, who preferred charges against Chief Stewart some weeks ago, were present. Just what transpired ill the mayors office, where the secret session was held, could not be learned. but it was evident that there was no harmony behind the closed doors. The repeated efforts of the three special committeeman to secure their free dom from committee service failed, and Alderman Fox, when asked later If he Intended to call a meeting of the committee immediately to begin the investigation demanded by Chief of Police Stewart, said: ''The committee has made no plans for the future You can lead a horse to water. but you cant make him drink.
 When the committeeman came from their executive session. Alderman Fox. chairman of the special committee, submitted the following report: To the Honorable Mayor and Council men of the City of Pine Bluff:
 Gentlemen:-Your committee, Co whom was referred the matter of in vestigating the office of Chief of Po- lice Stewart of this city, beg leave to report that inasmuch as Mr. A. J. Stewart, chief of police, has rendered to Mayor w. l.. Toney his resignation and that the same has been accepted by him, we deem it proper to report this fact, with the request that this committee be discharged.
 (Signed),
 FRED FOX, Chairman.
 J. A. CLEMENT,
 J. F. HUTT.
 The report was somewhat disap- pointing in it's entirety. It was the request of Chief Stewart, when he resigned, that the committee continue it's investigation and so into the charges thoroughly
 Alderman Fox explained that the committee had done all that it could do and ought to do. He said it would be great expense to the city to go into an investigation now an dthat it would require the employment of man to get all the witnesses before the committee, and in many cases they would have to be gotten from

DOLLOR WHEAT WILL HELP.

Dollar wheat and wheat at even
higher than that figure is fine thing
theoretically for every part of the
country, but unless the price holds
antil the next crop is harvested it is
argued there may be little direct bene-
fit to the Inland Empire, says the
Spokane Chronicle. With the unsold
grain in the Inland Empire estimated
at not much over 100000 sacks, the
advance in the price of grain will not
mean a material increase in the wealth
of the farmers. On the other hand,
the consumer will feel the effect in
the natural rise in the price of flour
and feed
However, the rise in the price of
the yellow grain can have but one eff
feet in the country at large and the
fact that the price of wheat for Sep
tefber delivery is near the dollar
mark presages we'll for the marketing
of this years grain crop at a good
round figure.

ADJUSTMENTS
"Ren-hur."


Pomp. pageantry and magnif1cence
mark the movement of General Lew
Wallace's great drama "Ben-Hur. All
the Roman plays and Biblical dramas
of the great decade have had their
hearing and are laid away, but Ben
Hur" goes on without hitch and is
still the most successful spectacular
drama of the American Stage. The
Young dramatization of General Wal
lace's great book has been seen by
more people and has secured more
money than any other play produced
on the American stage, and although
it is now in its tenth season, it appar-
emily will continue to be the greatest
production Of the age for many years
to come.
Reasons for the wonderful hold this
play has on theatregoers and on the
public generally are not far to seek.
In the first place "Ben-Hur" is a great
play. 1t has romance, adventure, ven
geance, triumph and beauty to recon-
mend it to the habitual seeker for
amusement, and aside from these pure
ly theatrical qualities it has a far
greater invitation to the men and
the playhouse.
"Ben-Hur' will be the offering at
the Keylor Grand theater for two
nights. beginning Monday evening. In
addition to the Two night performances
a matinee will be played on Tuesday.
The play opens with a prelude, "The
Star of Bethlehem" accompanied by the
impressive orchestral and vocal score
composed by Edgar Stillman Kelley
and latecomers will not be seated I'M
til the conclusion of this scene in
order not to mar it's mystic charm.

o'clock in the evening ant at o'clock
