ARREST SUSPECTS
Number of Men Unable to Ex-
plain Presence at Belle
vile, Taken.
TROOPS ARE NOT NEEDED
Sheriff Appears to Have Situation
Growing Out of Shooting at East
ST. Louis Well in Hand.

East st. Louis. Ill, Dec. 21.-The
coroner's jury today declared cir
cumstantial evidence points to VIII
liam Clark, negro, as the murderer
of Motorman Eugene V. Goudey."
Eighteen Arrested.
Belleville, Ill. Dec. 21-Eighteen ar
rests of strangers who were unable to
account satisfactory for their presence
in Belfewi1le were made this morning.
1t is thought the men walked from
East ST Louis after the failure of the
mob to reach town earlier by street
car. Despite the developments of last
night, it is not expected militia will be
needed, the sheriff apparently having
the situation well in hand.
Armed Guard About Jail
Belleville, ILL.,, Dec. 21.-Armed
with riot pumpguns and a thousand
and IL deputies last night guarded
the county jail here against a pos
sible attack by mob bent on lynch
ing VIII Clark, a negro who is under
arrest for the alleged murder of Eu-
gene Goudey, motorman of street
car, and the probably fatal wounding
of NJ. p. O'Brien, the cars conduc-
tor, in East st. Louis last Saturday
night. Robbery was the motive of
the murder and assault.
Clark was arrested Sunday after
noon, but the fact was kept secret
and in the dead of night the negro
was smuggled from East st. Louis
to the county Jail at Belleville.
reported at a high pitch in East st.
Louis all day and the possibility of
a lynching was freely discussed.
Appeal Made for Aid.
Sheriff CasheI, as soon as he heard
the alarming reports from East st.
Louis, made all preparations posi-
BILE to protect his prisoner, but the
fear that a mob of irresistible pro
portions might march on the Belle
vile Jail from the scene of the at
tack on the car men, led him to
make an appeal to Governor Deneen
to place troops at his disposal. The
readiness with which the governor
sent assurances that soldiers would
be ruShed 10 BelieNllle IHe moment
they were needed has done much to
allay the fears of the sheriff and of
the citizens.
Clark, the negro in Jail, has been
identified by O'Brien as the man who
fired the shot that killed Goudey,
but Sheriff Cashel is not satisfied
with the identification, because
O'Brien was under the influence of
opiates at the time he saw the alleged
murderer in the hospital.
Belleville was the scene of lynch
ing several years ago when a mob
battered down the doors of the jail
and hanged a negro named Wyatt in
the public square. Wyatt had been
with shooting Charles Her
tel. county superintendent of schools.
Troops Sent to Magnolia, Ala.
Selma, Ala, Dec. 21.-Troops left

scene of race troubles yesterday.

 We regret to hear numerous reports that the hot winds have already dam- aged the cotton crop greatly, and that the crop Is deteriorating rapidly, but we hope the prospects will brighten and big crop be realized. Our farm CTS have worked hard and faithfully deserve rich reward. and our hope ana prayer is that the Lord will aoundantly bless them in rich harvest.
 During our visit many persons made inquiries of the conditions here, of the price of land. and of its probable increase in value, so many in fact, that We were impressed with the fact that the capital of the North and East has it's eyes upon Arkansas, and is deeply interested in this sec tion as profitable field for invest ment.

We are glad to be at home again. Glad to see our friends, glad that with only few exceptions, all are we'll and seem happy and prosperous. We have had delightful vacation. Leaving here on the Fourth of July, that great anniversary of our country's freedom
 and of liberty, we went direct to Owosso, Michigan, the home of Mrs.
 Watkins father and other dear kin dred and friends, where we were de- lightfully entertained for two weeks, and nothing was left undone which promised pleasure and contentment. Fishing in nearby lake, boating on the Shiawassee river, visit to the country home of friends, an alter noon spent at the beautiful park at Corunna, where lunch was taken, and partaken of picnic fashion, visit to
 the county capital-Corunna, and its magnificent court house, carriage ride oyer the city, visit to the large furniture and casket factories, several visits to the moving picture shows, calling upon the editors of their newspapers, of which they have sev- eral dailies, attendance upon the ser vices at the Methodist and Baptist churches, listening to splendid ser, mons and good music-all these and

many other things furnished constant diversion, and good appetite which was appeased with every good thing to eat which the markets afforded. Our only regret is that we did not re- main longer.
 Owosso is a thriving manufacturing city of 12,0O0 inhabitants, three rail- roads furnishing transportation fa- cilities and conveniences to the pub lie. The river mentioned above flows through the city and gives handy drainage. The hydrant water is sup piled from deep wells, and is of ex. cellent quality for drinking, etc. One thing especially impressed us al Owosso, and that was the presence or the streets and thoroughfares of SC many automobiles, motorcycles and bicycles. We never saw so many any where else, there being no less thar six hundred automobiles and good ness only knows how many of the other vehicles, these latter being used by hundreds of mechanics and artisans going to and from their work in the factories.
 A trolley line connects Owosso witt Corunna, distance of five miles, ano the entire right of way is lined witf the beautiful homes of a provident and frugal peopl-. The fare is only 5c each way for the whole or any part of the distance.

Rural telephone systems are greatly
interested in the invention of a citizen
of Minnesota, whose device prevents
third parties from listening or "eut-
ting in'' on a party line. 1t is called
a lookout system. On the face of a
brass attachment are a number of steel
buttons each bearing the number of a
separate connection. To call another
party it is necessary to push the but
ton bearing his number and take down
the receiver. When the button is
pushed the machinery of the invention
works automatically and connects that
phone and the one called and discon-
meets all others on the line. The plac-
ing of the receiver back in its place
puts the whole line in service again.

The above is the list of those who
qualified to enter the final race next
Sunday. Antoine Kaoo viii also be al
lowed to walk as he quit through
mistake. All the above are requested
to keep their numbers as they will wear
the same numbers in the final race.
The largest crowd ever seen at a
public athletic event thronged Kala-
kaua avenue yesterday afternoon to
watch the elimination walking race
Hundreds of rigs and automobiles fol-
lowed the walkers and the police had
to work hard to stop the crowding
and blocking of walkers by the vehi-
cles.
Luckily enough it did not discom-
mode any of the walkers to any great
extent, as everybody wanted to watch
the duel between Dick Sullivan and
Antoine Kaoo and the walkers behind
had clear space to walk in but were
forced to breath the concentrated ex-
hausts of numberless buzz wagons.
Why Kaoo Quit.
Antoine Kaoo, the Waialua horse, who
was making it mighty hard for Sulli-
van. was decoyed into quitting by one
of the nastiest and meanest tricks that
was ever played. One Jack McFadden
was the instigator and cause of the
trick.
This McFadden was riding in an au-
tomobile close behind the leaders.
When the race was three-quarters over
he suddenly jumped from the machine
and ran close to the two leaders, Sulli-
van and Kaoo, and shouted to Kaoo
that the judges had disqualified him.
The Hawaiian had no reason to sup
pose that McFadden was not sent by
the judges and so stopped. The judges
shouted to him that it was a mistake
but Kaoo did not hear until too late
and one of the most exciting and bril-
liant finishes ever seen here was spoiled
by a mean trick.
The reason for McFadden's action
everybody can guess. Luckily his OBJ
ieet was frustrated by the judges who
took prompt action in the matter. What
made McFadden s statement plausible
was that Kaoo had already been warned
officially twice But, at the time that
the trick was played, Kaoo was walk.
ing perfectly straight heel and toe.
