DEATH FROM STRYCHNINf
(Continued from Page 1 )

of the poison is still mystery as is the way in which the body was found
 Saturday night an autopsy was held by Dr. Harry Williams. Sunday morn ing when the inquest was to have been held, some of the witnesses could not be secured and 1t was postponed, however, jury was empanelled by Coroner Williams and viewed the body. The remains were then allow ed to be shipped to Dumas on the ev- ening train.
 The verdict of the eoroner's jury was that the dead woman came to her death by poisoning from strych- nine. It is understood that num- Der of recommendations were made by the jury. which the coroner refused to make public. It is believed that arrests will be made before the case is over.
 Assistant Prosecuting Attorney CreeQ CdlOWeil was present. at CIlc lu- quest and questioned the various wit nesses During the course of the in- quest several stories were told diff ferently by the witnesses and it is this that attracted so much attention.
 It is stated by those interested in the case that E. Crook, stepfather of the dead girl, will arrive in Pine Bluff in a few days from Dumas, and it is expected that he will take a hand in the case, but nothing is known of the course he will take He is said to have stated to friends that he will greatly enlighten those interested.
 Witnesses were introduced yester- day that stated that while young Reinberger, his brother, Maurice, and R. w. Harris were in the room on Friday night, that statement wera made concerning MT. Reinberger's proposed marriage. MT. Reinberger denies, however, that he made elch statement.

NO PICTURES
 FOR THIS CITY City Council Passes Ordin ance Forbidding Them
 Being Shown Here. ADDITION ANNEXED
ANNEXED
Poor Light Service Gets a Rap, and Committee Instructed to Locate the
 Cause and Apply Remedy.

From the action of ssle city fathers taken at their regular meeting last night, 1t is believed that crusade against moving pictures has been started. The city council met last night at the city hall, it being the reg ular meeting night.
 Much important business was trans acted, including number of ordin- ances being pissed. An ordinance offered by Hon. P. c. Chesnutt, alder man from First Ward, to prohibit the exhibition of the moving pictures of the Jeffries-Johnson contest, in this city was passed by the coun- Gil upon the third reading. In connection with the mov- ing pictures the ordinance committee was also instructed to bring in an ordinance at the next meeting night, governing the character of the pie lures that may be shown upon the To- cal canvases. This act was said to be in regard to immoral pictures. For some time there has been much com- ment and thought on the probability of the pictures being shown in this city, but since it is known that the operators of the local shows did not intend bringing the pictures here, the matter is probably at an end.
 A very important step was taken last night when the new addition between Twentieth and TWenty-fourth avenues in South Pine Bluff, was annexed to Ward No. 3. It was also decided to extend the water mains in this addi- tion and sewer district was formed.
 The committee on water and lights was instructed to go forth and seek the cause why the city was not receiv- ing better light service. Reports of the light inspector show that the ser vice has not been very good.
 The new warehouse at the boat landing, foot of Tennessee street which was recently turned over to the city by Contractor Bruce, was taken in hand by the council. An ordin- ance was passed by which all boats landing at the local landing will be charged wharfage fee for the use of the wharf and the warehouse. This fee was decided on as $5 for the larg- CT boats and $1.50 for the smaller boats including gasoline launches.
