SAYS ELLIOTT
 HAS AUTHORITY
General Opinion of Attorneys Is That He Acted Legally in Granting Ellis Bail.

Lit''e Rock, Ark, Aug. 1.-The action of the attorneys for w. Y. Ellis in apply ing to Chancellor Elliott of Pine Bluff for bail through a writ of habeas corpus is attracting considerable attention through out the State 1t seems that great with the law on the subject, and could not understand why application for bail is made at Pine Bluff instead of Little Rock. where the killing of N. P. Willis took place. There are only few cases on record where attorneys have gone out side of the jurisdiction of the scene of tn" killing to get bail for the accused party.
 The most notable case recently was q case from Newport, where a man named Simmons killed boy in a saloon in that city The attorneys for Simmons applied to Chancellor Martineau for bail, but it was refused by the Pulaski chancellor.
 The legislature several years ago passed law providing that the wri. of habeas corpus shall be issued by the following officers: By judge of the supreme court or of any chancery court during the sitting of their respective courts or ID vacation. It also provided that the power of the supreme. circuit or chancery courts 10 issue writs of habeas corpus snail De co.extensive with the state. The county judge shall have power co-eXtensiVe "i'ni his county only during the absence of the judges above named
 pumber of lawyers were intervIeW"d on he subject today. and it was snfpfiS- ing how they disagreed. When the statute onoted above was placed before them, all with few exceptions. admitted that chan cellors and circuit judges had the power to grant writs of habeas corpus anywhere in Arkansas
 Several of the attorneys claimed that the statute only meant that any chancellor could issue the writ. but the application could only he heard by the chancellor fe- siding in the district where the crime was committed
 That Chaacellor Elliott has jurisdiction in the Ellis case is generally conceded, as nnder the law his jurisdiction in such eases is ca.eytensiye with the state II is rather unusual to go outside o1 the ois- trict. but the best authorities hold that if is perfectly legal. In the case at Oar the application for writ of hapeas cor ,,,s oon,d have been heard in Little ROCK ,s the chancellor and one o1 the c'rc"'' iudses are in Little Rock.

THE GRAPHIC'S EFFORTS.

Because the Graphic has not made
 a practice of boasting of it's accom-
 plishments is no reason why the Ora
 phic is not getting results in it's ef-
 forts to better municipal, health and
 business conditions of this progress
 sive city. The Graphic was the first
 paper to start the crusade against the
 disease spreading street sweeper and
 the other papers fell in behind and
 saw the evils of the noise-makin2
 dust-spreading, disgusting device. The Graphic always leads and others follow It might be added that the Graphic has been making a fight for for several years and it is gratifying to learn that it's argument in favor of shade trees has had the desired weight With the city council. In fact, as far as the Graphic has observed, it is the only paper in the city which has stood up and demanded repeat edly that the shade trees be spared" The readers of the Graphic will also remember that the Graphic was the first paper in this city to originate the idea of City Beautiful an1 that the City Beautiful Club was the outcome of that idea. The Gra- phic is thoroughly alive to the best interests of Pine Bluff at all times.

STAND BY FOUR JOE.-

, Hon. Joe T. Robinson, that bunch of brains, energy and determination, who has so ably represented this dis trict in the lower house of congress for the past several years, has an nounced his intention of offering him. self for reelection and this decision comes as a source of extreme pleas ure to the people of Pine Bluff anG others throughout the district for nc congressman, with the exception oi Major Clifton R. Breckenridge, has represented this district with SD much success and distinction as Joe Robinson.
 W. H. Martin, we'll known Hot Springs attorney and former Demo- cratic national committeeman from this state, it is rumored, will be an aspirant for Robinson's seat. We have nothing whatever to say to the detri- ment of Mr. Martins candidacy, but we could write columns in the inter- est of the candidacy of Congressman Robinson in urging his return to the congressional halls.
 Joe Robinson has accomplished much valuable work in congress. His efforts in behalf of Pine Bluff and Jefferson county have been instru- mental in bringing him before the people of the United States as one of the most effective and successful men among the younger members of the national law making body. 1t was Joe Robinson. who, after years of De- tltioning, pleading and begging on the part of our people, secured for Pine Bluff the magnificent $1OO,0Oo federal or postoffice building, which was re- gently thrown open. This work alone IS enough to prompt his constituents throughout the district to remain loyal and stand by him in his claims TOT reelection. But this is not all congressman Robinson, in the course or a few weeks and at a time when nis serVlces were needed, went before the committee on approximations for rWers and harbors and induced it's members to insert an appropriation ol Sstooo for the improvement of the flVer front here. It is true that pun- Aclty on the part of the Pine Bluff press and local correspondents fo, metropolitan newspapers and the ef forts of our citizens had much to d, with the sentiment in favor of reliev ing the situation here, but without a active man like Robinson on hand 8 all times to push our claims, this ci. might have yet been left at the merc

very close contest for the champion
ship is looked for.

will be no hammer throw. In other
respects the program will be the same.
The kiddies are preparing for great
event and there will be something doing
when they get together on Friday. The
famous Buster will head the Kaa.

to have line of dope that will put

The youngsters are very enthusiastic
about the meet and all the encourage
ment that can be given in the way of

With clean-limbed youngsters to enter
the races, good coaches to train them
and the enthusiasm of their fellow stu.
dents to back them up, they certainly
deserve to have their meet a great sue

RUNNERS START TRAINING
FOR THE NEXT MARATHON
Jackson Is Willing to Meet All Contestants
for the Championship Origin
OF the Marathon.

asking the origin of the Marathon race.
Here it is. 1t was in 400 B. C. that
| old man Darius blew over into Greece
| with a gang of Persians. It was a
| tough gang all right and there were
some hundred and twenty thousand
| roosters in the aggregation. They had
fair picnic of it chasing over the
| country, stealing chickens out of the
farm yards and handing out a baron
| of beef for each tent to roast every
night. The Greeks took to the noun
| tains and left most of what they had
| in their homes behind them. BY the
| time the Persian kids got near to
| Athens they were fat and sassy and
| thought they would have a walkover
when they came to play ball with the
Athenians.
|. But meanwhile old Miltiades, the
| COOP with the golden crown who acted
as king and mayor of thes good city
of Athens. brought his team out on the
field and called on Mr.. o. K. Mars to
act as umpire. Miltiades played first
| base and he had mighty mitt-wearer
| by the name of Eucles to act as
catcher.
The Persians came out to bat and
| thought they had cinch. There was
! a roofing section as far as from here
| to Haleiwa to encourage them and a
guy with a label and tin of lemonade
at every base But there was nothing
to it, Bill Miltiades with his ten thou
sand pork and beaners put up an awful
game and it took only a few hours in
which to send the Persians to Foofoo
| land
The battle took place at Marathon
some twenty-six miles away from
Athens The Persians had been so sure
of victory that they actually toted a
bunch of bricks onto the field so as to
build a memorial after the battle. Bill
Miltiades took up a handful of bricks
and chucked them after few retreat
ing Percy boys and then sang out to
Charlie Eucles to get busy and notify
the gang at home that they had won
the game.
| Charlie started out for all he was
worth and beat the record over the
course back to Athens. He got there
just in time to swallow spoonful OF
gin. gasp out the news of the victory
and then die all over the floor.
|, He was first cousin of old man
Euclid who invented Geometry In order
to torture the youthful mind and his
most famous ancestor is Mary Ihorne,
the pride of the alley. The idea OF
having a Marathon race was hrst IN
troduced at the time of the Turco-
Greek war. George, Sardanapalus, Al
cibiades, Kremnos, Pilaf the fifteenth,
who acted as the main squeeze IN
Greece at that time, was so tlekled
when he saw how fast his soldiers
could run when the dinner bell rang,
that he decided to make it an annual
event and introduce it into the United
States. Hence the race to Haleiwa and
the coming race next month.

marked grave, hidden by patch of
dank weeds in cemetery at Portland
Ore. He said in discussing the project
while in Spokane:
Dempsey was more to Americans
than a pugilist. He was a great and
lovable character. He was man
among men, square as a die, game to
the core, clean in mind and body, a
credit to American athletics. He de-
serves a stone, if any of our great dead
deserve it. In starting this fund,
wish it to be placed in the name of

Northwestern league with st. Paul,
Minneapolis, Duluth and other cities

middle west. He has travelled extern
sively in Australia, the Philippines, Ha-
wall, China and Japan, where he taught
boxing and athletics and managed
shows.

Ward, Jack Houston, Borchers, Nc
Guerk, Polhemus and others. In a

PETE BARON IS
COMING BACK

Pete Baron is coming back to Homo
lulu and it may be that he will ar
rive on the Makura on April 2 The
climate of the northern border and the
treatment that the dear old athlete re-
eeived from his supposititious friends
have put him to the bad, and he has
made up his mind to come back to
the place where he has true friends
and where his bones do not crack with
the cold.
There are no details obtainable as
to Just what the pilikia was, but it is
understood that DIR. Roller did not
hand Pete the lovely strawberry that
he promised. 1t seems to have been
more of lemon The big doctor turn
ed out a fizzle in the boxing business,
and his great trip round the world he
spoke of, with Pete Baron as his train
er-in-chief. does not seem to have ma
terialized.
Whatever the cause that has brought
him. we must welcome the good old
boy back again. A bunch of those
who saw Pete off are going to get to-
gether and give him aloha on his re-
turn. Let us do our best to warm the
old boys heart with a rousing welcome
when he comes back to Honolulu.

REIGN OF SOCIETY

as much time to the cultivation and
development Of her intelligence and the
graees Of her mind and heart as she
does 70 her masseure, modiste, mani.
cure and milliner, there Is no place ia
society for her. For society has come
to be a serious profession; one that has
rescued the lovely art q conversation
from the swamps Of prattle.
John Barrett, director OF the Interna-
tional Bureau Of American Republics,
diplomat, man Of affairs social ollie
tante and traveller, is sponsor for this
sentiment in an interview
"It Is women, themselves, not men,
who are responsible for the change in
their social status" he said, Women
are much smarter While men have been
making money, building fortunes on
great business enterprises, women have
been awakening to their opportunity to
their rights.
In business, too, men have no longer
the right to assume the patronizing air.,
Women have not only informed, but ed
ucated themselves to meet the exigen.
cies Of the business world. Il is man
who Is due for an awakening II he
doesn't want to be left far, far behind
