sailed for Jamaica on the Atlas liner

future might hold for him, was deeply
grateful for his release from the dismal

at Jamaica and at last Murray was
able to place his charge within the

Rather aghast at the result of his in
quiTies, Murray in this extremity be
thought himself of Sir Charles Topper
the high commissioner of Canada, to
whom he accordingly stated his case.
Much to the worried detectives relief.
Sir Charles proved sympathetic. He
called for his carriage and drove with
Murray to the home office, where he
argued the case with the home and CO.
lOnial secretaries. But both of these
gentlemen refused 10 change their YER
diets. The prisoner could legally pc

not an hour longer. It appeared to
Murray as though he had run his head
against stone wall in the very place
of all others where he least expected
it. And to crown all. there was no
steamer due to leave for Canada with
in a week. Sir Charles meditated in
silence for a while as the carriage
rolled away from the home Office. Sud
denly he glanced at Murray and smiled.
There is not a prison in England
that will refuse to hold your man for
one night" he said. 1T would be quite
possible. although not pleasant, for you
to keep tramping with him from prison

In the country to last until the steamer

you TO take your prisoner to Liverpool.
You can say that the Liverpool Jail is
very dirty. and your don't want to

by Chief Inspector McConkey. All
went smoothly, and on March > Muir
ray and Davidson sailed from Liver
pool on the Sarnia.
1t seemed as though all Murrays diff
ficulties with his charge were at an
end. when on March IL the Sarnia
broke a crank shaft and the vessel
drifted helplessly for days When the
needfui repairs were finished the Sar-
MIA was about sixty miles from st.
Pierre. On March Is, the fifth day
after the accident. the boat ran into a
terrific hurricane, the wind blowing
s. miles an hour and the sea running
mountains high. Fortunately the Sar-
Mas broken shaft had been repaired
and she managed to jog slowly along
in the teeth of the storm al about eight
miles an hour Two steamers, the coal
tank America and the Mauranda of
Picton, spoke the crippled liner, but
assistance was declined and she limped
doggediy on her way. During the voy-
age Davidson gave a number of musi-
cal entertainments which were a source
Of much pleasure to his fellow passen-
gers, and did much toward making him
popular and lessening the monotony of
the unduly extended trip.
But all things must come to an end.

THE ARKANSAS
 MAY SOON RISE

The upper Neosho is on rampage. Yesterday Forecaster Guthrie issued a flood bulletin for that district. He stated last evening that the river would be out of it's banks by the morn ing. The rise is due to exceedingly heavy rains, which have prevailed in that locality during the past few days. as much as three inches cf water having fallen at some points, In view of the fact that the lower Neosho was the cause Of the recent high water here it is not unlikely that the Arkansas will be affected by the high water in the upper river. Forecaster Guthrie said yesterday the effect would begin to develop in the next twenty-four hours.-Fort Smith Times Record.

J. J. Moore of Hope, Ark. a spe- city representative of the United States Agricultural Department, was yesterday rendered an invitation by the Pine Bluff Board of Trade to ad- dress the members of that body and the business men of this city on
 Thursday, July P, on The Boil Weevil and Crop Diversification. The invitation will be issued by Sec retary ]. L. Caldwell, in accordance with a resolution which was offered by F. F.

Moore recently wrote the officials of the Board of Trade here, assuring them that he would come to Pine Bluff and address them, if his visit would result in interest on the part of the business men and members of the local business organization. He has been here on frequent occasions, and in each instance he has ad- dressed large gatherings of farmers and negro tenants and farm hands, enlightening them in the production of cotton and corn and especially out lining the manner in which the 'boll weeviI was to be handled, when it arrived. J. E.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

The Pine Bluff Board of Trade, in contracting with F. l.. Barkley, of Memphis. Tenn. to issue inspection reports for the purpose of securing lower insurance rate, will hardly prove effective The Board of Trade ought to demand that Pine Bluff be classified as first or second class city among insurance companies. That is the only procedure that will secure lower rates for Pine Bluff and put the property owners on an equal footing with those of other cities and smaller towns in this state Pine Bluff ought to be rated as a second class city. The Graphic took this matter up some months ago and the action of the Board of Trade later was due to it's demands for better rates
 The issuance of an inspection re- DOT, OF a complete survey of the city by an eNperitn need insurance man will not have the desired effect. If the only result in the reduction of the fire insurance rate in some instances and the increase of rates in others. It will not reduce the fire insurance rate generally throughout the city and will not bring about the placing of this city in the second class.
 The local insurance agents hold the key to the situation. They. if thev so desired. could have Pine Bluff raised to d city of second class 'f they presented Pine Bluffs fire pro- lection statistics to their companies The new modern waterworks plant the excellence of our fire equipments and fire fighting machines. our pavet streets and generally good fire risks are alone sufficient to warrant tn, classification of Pine Bluff in tn second class. All this city needs ', put it in the first class. from fir insurance standpoint. is the additio of fire engines. with which our fir stations are not equipped, and whic class by the National Fire lnsmranc Underwriters.
 It is generaly understood that tn insurance companies do not want eye an inspection report, much less th promotion of Pine Bluff from a thir class to a second class city. The fac is well known that Pine Bluffians ar paying on an average of twenty-fi :, per cent more for their fire protet tion than the property owners of Lii tie Rock, Hot Springs, Fort Smith an even Texarkana, which city does nc rank very high in the estimation C
