THEIR LOUD SCREAMS
 SAVED THEIR LIVES
Mrs. D. A. Murray and Daughter Had Narrow Escape From Death When They Came in Contact With
 d Live Wire.

While hanging clothes on wire clothes line in the back yard of her residence No. 221 East Second avenue yesterday morning, Mrs. D. A. Murray, and daughter, Miss May Murray, had a narrow escape from being electro cuted, on the clothes line which was heavily charged. The young lady first attempted to hang the clothes on the line, unaware of the 110 volts of electricity which was passing through the wire. She grasped the line and immediately screamed so loud that she attracted a large crowd of neigh bors. Mrs Murray went to the as sistance of her daughter and she her self grasped the wire and received a severe shock. The screams of Mrs. Murray and her daughter could be heard for blocks. Other children near the scene screamed and two line men who were near the house came to the rescue of the two women, which undoubtedly saved them from horri- ble death Both linemen were badly shocked in releasing the women from the heavily charged w.re. Mrs. Murray's hands were badly burned A light wire to the house is believed to have fallen to the tin roof of the back porch and was transmitted to the clothes line by wire screen around the porch. Mrs. Murray conducts a boarding house at the east Second avenue number.

Prosecuted Here For Defrauding the Hotel JeifersOn-His Firm Anx.
 ious to Get Samples Back.

Ut is a painful duty for me to fine man of your age, but under the cir cumstanceS 1 see no other course in your case. l regret exceedingly that you have no friends to aid you and dislike to send you to the county farm Thus spoke Magistrate J. A. Frazier in disposing of the case of John P. Taylor, charged with defraud- ing boarding house keeper here and who was arrested last Saturday at Fordyce and brought back here for trial. Taylor was until recently a travelling salesman in the employ of the William A. Webster Drug Con- pany, of Memphis, but he declares that he is now without funds and without friends. In the magistrate court yesterday he was fined S25 aud costs and will probably be taken to the county farm today to work out his fine. Taylor is 5 ears old.
 Early last week Taylor arrived at the Hotel Jefferson in this city. He was not there long before Manager Tru- lock received message from the manager of the Clebourne Hotel at Helena, requesting him to be on the lookout for a man answering Taylor,s description; adding that Taylor had left that city without settling his hotel bill Manager Trulock called Taylor into his office and had a talk with him about his unpaid bills and making sure that Taylor would settle at his hotel. Taylor promised to pay and also settle the Helena bill. That day Taylor disappeared, leaving a S15 bill at the Jefferson unpaid. Let ters and telegrams began pouring ill the next day, making inquiry about Taylor and his whereabouts. One letter was from his firm, requesting Mir. Trulock to get possession of a grip containing the firms letter heads and samples and if possible, return them to the firms headquarters at Memphis. The president of the drug company said that Taylor was using it to advantage in running hotel bills and that he had left them unpaid ill Helena and at the Arlington Hotel in Memphis. The grip was left at the Jefferson by Taylor, when the left Pine Bluff unexpectedly and will be returned to the Memphis firm.
 In court yesterday Taylor told a pitiful story, but admitted that he had been going from town to town in this state without paying hotel bills as he left them. He said his orders had been sent in but he had not received his commission. Taylor says he walked from Rison to Fordyce, leav- ing a hotel bill unpaid at Rison.

ROOSEVELT AND

FIR. M. I. sTRITCH.
Neither Could Have Acted Different

In Discussing Vatican Incident.
FIR. NJ. i. sTRITCH.

That Pope Plus X took the only con-
sistcnt course In his determination not
10 receive Col Roosevelt In Rome, and
that the latter was also justified In his
attitude, is the belief of FIR. NJ. /.
Stritch, s., j.. president OF Detroit col
lege
"The Holy Father was only consist
ent," declared FIR. Stritch. In discuss
ing the incident Monday. He could
not possibly have made distinction be-
tween Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Fair
banks. both distinguished American
citizens.
Evidently. the vatican desired to
avoid a repetition of that distressing
Fairbanks incident Of a few weeks
ago. That. probably. was his reason
for wishing To impose certain condi-
lions upon Mr.. Roosevelt's visit. ! am
satisfied that Pope Plus would have
no objection TO either Mr.. Roosevelt
or Mr. Fairbanks addressing other re-
ligious denominations or other organi-
cations than the Methodists In Rome.
His objection TO them is only ma
tural when IL Ia considered that they
came to Rome saying they were going
TO redeem the Holy Church from IDOL

Again II Is refreshing TO see the
manner In which the affair is treated
by Mr. Roosevelt in his statement to
his fellow citizens In America In ask
ing that the matter be looked upon
merely in the light Of personal one.
he Is showing that great broad spirit
that characterizes all his public &C.
tons. lie says II does not warrant
any rancor or bitterness and In this
he is showing his rare good Judgment.
II believe that Mr. Roosevelt was
right In his course. While he had
given no intention of visiting or adj
dressing the Methodists, as Mr.. Fair
banks had. he could scarcely have ig-
uored them had they requested him TO
speak. The Holy Father probably re-
allied this and for that reason took
what precautions he did.
His action was entirely consistent
with the stand he had taken in regard
To Mr.. Fairbanks. In view OF MIR.
Roosevelt's farsightedness. believe
the affair will pass over without much
