PLAN TO DRAIN THE
STATE OF ARKANSAS

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Feb 9.-In re-
Spouse to a call issued by Gov Dona-
ghey, delegates from many of the
farmers unions and commercial or
CARNATIONS of the state met today to
consider plans for the reclamation by
drainage of the swamp lands of Ar
kansas.
feature of the meeting was the
discussion of a telegram from B. F.
Yoakum. chairman of the ST Louis &
San Francisco board, who heartily APP
proved the movement, declaring that
its success would help solve the food
shortage problem. He wrote

prove beneficial. There is no doubt
that halt was necessary i'm the up
ward movement of commodities. The
consumer had already been pushed to
the point of exhaustion, and discon-
tent was spreading, threatening wide
spread labor agitation. The latter is
still disturbing possibility and will
continue to be so for some time to
come. In all probability the differences
between labor and employers will be
settled by lower prices for many sta
living, and by moderate concessions
in the matter of wages. The4index fig
ures for January should show a de-
crease, since many articles have de-
ciined in price during the past month,
especially those which enter most
largely into the cost of living The agi-
tation against high prices has not been
without good effect, inasmuch as 1t
has developed a more conservative
spirit in business, and probably less
extravagant habits at home
An easier condition prevails in the
money market Funds are generally re-
turning from the interior quite freely.
and the liquidation of the last few
weeks has tended to lessen the de-
mands for accommodation. The fall in
securities has induced bankers to scru-
tinize collateral alittle more closely.
but the monetary situation as whole
is satisfactory The banks have been
strengthened by liquidation and will
be the better prepared for resump-
ton of business activity in the spring
For bonds the demand continues in
different, the sales in January showing
large shrinkage compared with
year ago. Some pending issues are
still held up waiting a better mar
ket; investors showing a preference
for stocks which at current prices give
much better returns than bonds Very
soon there will be larger demands
upon the money market through the
borrowing of various governments. A
Panama bond issue must soon be
forthcoming, especially as government
revenues continue to fall below ex-
penditures, and Germany will also
soon be out with a large loan. But
there are no serious demands upon the
money market in sight, and fair but
not high ratR of interest seem prob
able until the crop demands again as
sert themselves.
Europe is now a fair buyer OF the
better grade of securities, although
protesting to be somewhat disturbed
by recent failures in this market. Paris
it is noted, is quite optimistic not
withstanding their great calamity,
the floods in France are not likely
to produce any serious financial strain.
Securities have now had heavy
shrinkage. fully discounting all known
drawbacks, and as soon as the re-
adjustment now in progress is COM
pleted we may look for a substantial
recovery from present depression.

1.-THE Wolf"

Strong in conception, dramatic in
execution and vitality Interesting
throughout is claimed for THE Wolf"
which will be presented at the Key
lor Grand theatre on Saturday, Feb.
18th. Matinee at 2:30 p. m. Evening
at SIS. 1t is said that Eugene Walter
has written the play in robust style.
1t is a story of that wonderful Hud-
son Bay country, and of the primal
eternal struggle between man for the
possession of woman. Dark passion
and pure sentiment are set in opposi-
ton but there is nothing hackneyed.
The men are not of the familiar stage
type nor are the scenes of a mechani-
cal order. Mr. Walter tells his excell-
ent story.
The father of Hilda is Scotchman
whose narrowness of mind drives his
wife in the world leaving the child be-
hind. Then Macdonald, a handsome
young American engineer, covets the
simple girl and engages the old man in

conventional villain, however, and
deeds Of violence he leaves to the he
ro which is certainly contrary to all
the old traditions. Here the art of
the dramatist is seen at its best. There
crops up Jules Beubien, French Ca
madam with streak of Obijway from
his mother Macdonald has left Jules
sister to die with her unborn child
Jules recognizes him and bides his
time B'Atiste, his loyal retainer,
crosses himself gently as he swears
that unless Jules kills Macdonald, he
will. So ends Act one, with the inter-
est of the auditors tense
Donald and old MacTavish in refer
ence to the innocent Hilda. MacDon-
aid had been married and was a gay
blade on the white way. Jules, of
course, loves Hilda. The CRISIS comes.
The girl spurns the brutal grasp of the
engineer, and Mac lavish, ezra ged, de-
clares that he will crush her life out
with his bare hands. The French Ca
madam intervenes, striking MacDon-
aid with his fist The engineer at
tempts to draw his gun but B'Atiste
has him covered with his rifle from
the cabin window At this climax, the
second act closes and one may ina
CINE easily that the interest has in
creased all along.
Immoral as he is. Macdonald is fear
less and persistent. He takes to tn
path. and comes upon Jules. He fires
at him. but his shot does not go home.
Then the ewo engage in the most real
istic and fiercest handto- hand duel
ever seen on any stage. Now up and
now down. rolling over and over : in
the dim light for fully minute, the
fighters struggle. Finally one is seen
to drop lifeless from a stab wound

three people are believed to be dead
and property has been destroyed to
the value of one million dollars by a
fire in the heart of the city which be-
gan shortly after midnight this morn
ing, and burned until after o'clock.
The fire originated in the Galbraith
warehouse, high wind spreading the
flames rapidly. Coming at the time it
did, the police were kept busy trying
to warn people in lodging houses in
the district. One such house was
missed and it is believed that here
many people lost their lives. The fire,
was brought under partial control at 6
o'clock this morning A fire engine
and crew were caught in the path Of
the fire and had to be abandoned.
Three members of the crew took
refuge in building which afterwards

THE MYSTERY IS SOLVED
Body of Woman Found In Como Lake
That of Mrs. Mary easel
Charlton.
(Herald Special


New York. June 1.-THE last word
received by Captain Henry Scott OF
the United States army from his sis
tire, Mrs. Mary easel Charlton
whose body was found in a trunk by
fishermen in Lake Como, Italy, yester.
day, was a letter in which she told
him that she intended to live in
Frankfort, Germany, for the next two
years. The woman was married to
Porter Chalton on March 18th. She
was twelve years older than her hus-
band and met him while he was a
student in the University of Pennsyl-
vania. The police of Italy are work
ing on the theory that the young hus-
band became tired of the older wo-
man. A guard of all ports has been
ordered.
Today's dispatches say it is practi-
cally certain that Mrs. Charlton was
suffocated after her body was cram
med into the trunk The post-mortem
examination today showed wounds on
the head, but none of sufficient char
acter to cause her death. 1t is be-
lieved the woman was rendered IN
conscious and then crowded into the
trunk. Constantine Ismaatoff, a Rus
sain, now under arrest, was seen with
Chalton, and asked the fishermen
where the deepest part of the lake
was, according to story being told
today.
