BEAUTIFUL SERVICE
 AT THE TEMPLE
Fi,c Young People Confirmed at An. nnal Confirmation Service Held There Yesterday.

The annual confirmation service at the Temple yesterday morning was very beautiful and impressive. Pre- ceded by the officers of the congre- gation and by the little flower chill dren. Boris Meyer, Irene Rosenzweig. Roy Leitner, Goldie Franklin and Charles Veil Jr., each of whom car ried a bouquet of sweet peas. the con- tlrmants marched to the altar to music rendered by the choir and Mrs. F. E. Renfrow at the organ. The proper note to prepare for the occasion had been struck when Professor Gustave Mueller renvered feelingly "Shubert's S Serenade" on the violin.
 The ccnfirmants were Master Ira Bloom. son of E ]. Bloom: Clifford Hart, son of Dr. and Mrs. Will Hart; Master Louis Jackson. son of MT. and Mrs. J. Jackson; Miss Mona l.azaraus, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alex I.az- arus, and Miss Pauline Elliott. daughter of Mr. and Mrs F. Eilbott. The confirmants read the Ten Com mandments ill Hebrew out of the Scroll of the law The pupils of the Sunday school assisted in the music. The confirmants acquitted themselves admirably.
 A solo by Daniel Taylor, Be Thou Strong" was exceptionally well rend- cred.
 One of the most impressive parts of the service was the silent prayer by the confirmants for their parents,
 rds being inadequate to express their gratitude to them for the many years of tender care lavished upon them. The last and most affecting part of the service was the Rabbi's blessing, each one of the confirm ants being blessed separately and in- audibly, Professor Mueller acccm- panying with violin obligato

1nstructs Jefferson County Grand Jury to Indict
 Men who Killed Davis.
kpRorECTIoN OF HOME
a.vs Assault is a NegrO's Vice-MOb Would Not Yield tO His
 Headings.

Judse A. B. Grace, in the Jefferson circuit court. Wednesday morning de- iyered a special charge to the Jef- ferson county grand jury. which re- convened on that day, instructing them to thoroughly investigate the recent lynching of Lovette Davis. a negro. in this city, and to return in- dictments against the men who took an active part in the "lynching bee. " Judge Grace's charge was caust:c and was tinged with brilliant utter ances in the interest of law and or der in this community. He declared that rape was not white mans vice, but that 1t seemed to exist among many negroes in the South who have never become civilized. He impress ed upon the jurors the necessity of their not permitting their sympathies to get the best of them when consid- ering the necessity of the strict ob- seryance and complete reign of the law in the interest of good govern ment.
 In part Judge Grace said: Gen clement of the grand jury: A recent occurrence makes it necessary for the court to call your attention to certain violation of the law. One Lovette Davis, a negro, was arrested several days ago on a charge of attempting to crimina1ly assault young lady in this city. He confessed to charge of burglary, but added that the as- sault was made on the young lady to prevent an outcry or her giving an alarm. Be that as it may, assuming that the worst possible feature of the case was that his presence in the house was to commit an assault; none except those who live in the South know the strain under which the southern white men live. We have race among us, considerable number of whom seem to be in a condition of savagry. The result IS that no Southern white man leaves his home, when the lights are burn lns' with telephones and police off cials at their command and with nelghbors all about them, unless the female members of their families are protected. Theorists, who live in cer- tam localities. where few negroes re- slde, may advance their theories, but IS we'll known fact that the young women and even little girls of tender years feel themselves in danger when they go to their rooms alone for the night. This condition does not exist in any other civilized country through out the world. Even in Russia there IS no such terror. The chastity of ene women is the dearest thing in human life.
 The women of today don't fear murder, but the white women of the ooutn live in constant fear of ter TUT mat some black brute might at

tack them. The crime of rape is not a white mans vice. It seems to be principally among the illiterate ne groes.
 There has arisen in the South a feeling that the law is not to be de- pended upon. In pioneer days there was an excuse to carry the law upon the hip, when there were no officers to protect but there it no necessity for it now. If mob law and violence was tolerated as in pioneer days there would be no protection for any man or the home. Every man sympathizes with the victim in this case. The white mans blood boils when the honor Of our women is attacked. But we cannot let our sympathies carry us away. I, as sworn officer, and you as citizens. have a duty to per- form and for the protection of the law and the community we must per form it without fear or favor.
 At about 12:3o o'clock Monday night l was notified that mob was at the county jail demanding the life of Lovette Davis. dressed hurriedly and went to the jail. I tried to dis suade the crowd, assuring them that | would give Davis an immediate trial. l recalled the fact that about five years ago [ had empanelled a special grand jury and within forty days af- ter the crime had been committed brought about the legal hanging cf criminal charged with similar of fense. Failing to induce them to re- turn to their homes. l told them that they would be guilty of murder and that l would, as an officer of the law, be compelled to charge the grand jury and instruct them to indict the offenders. Sheriff Philpot and his deputies did all they could to pre- vent the lynching. but without sue cess. The mob was civil to me, but they would not yield to my pleadings.
 '.In this case there can be no ques- tion that the killing of Davis was will full, deliberate, premeditated and a violation of the law Are you patrio- tic enough; have you got the cour- age, the manhood to investigate an1 indict the vio1ators of the law: Pine Bluff is no on trial before the civil ized world. There is no doubt about the evidence. Not one in the mob made an effort to conceal his identity: none of them were masked. There were many in the crowd who were there through mere curiosity. but t is fact that few were there to break open the jail and execute the man. In the darkness at jail they ire quently struck matches and at Second avenue and Main street, where l am told they murdered Davis. q did not see it. I did not care to) they work ed under the rays of electric lights. You are to say whether Pine Bluff. a city of twenty thousand souls. is to permit an outrage of this kind bf a few desperadoes. Either the law must reign supreme or you must turn over the government ct. yonr community to body of citizens, many of whom were crazed by drink
 Judge Grace at the conclusion Of his charge. instructed the jurors li proceed to perform their duty. No witnesses had been summoned before the inquisitorial body up to nightfall. as far as could be learned. but Judge Grace, Sheriff Philpot, Deputy Sheriff Goodwin Jailer Jack Holland and others are likely to be called to the grand jury room before the wee: ends.
