reservoir formerly used had proved in- adequate. He recommends in the report that if the city is to continue to use the plants at least temporarily that a con- nection with the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company for electric current should be made in the event of a breakdown. He also points out that 1t was fortunate that such an arrange ment was made with the Birmingham Water Works company for water supply as at any time the plant may be in- capacitated and thus render the water problem a serious one with those de- pending upon the present source of sup ply.
 One of the most notable instances of past carelessness in keeping accounts is implied in the following words taken from Mr. Knowles report:
 "It is quite probable, however that much additional revenue could be secured as we'll as contribute to the general use fitness of public information. if all the connections upon the water and electric system were carefully determined by house to house canvass and charted as to location and size. In this way many for gotten accounts would probably be dis covered the revenue from which would repay the expense of such work

 He also delves into the history of the rlants and brings out that the spring was sold by Friel and Marshall to the city and that this occurred after the

S0RRELLS RAID
 CASES CLOSED
Three Cases Against Mrs. Austin and Six Against Mrs. Morris Dismissed By Judge Stewart in the City
 Police Court.

City Attorney w. B. Sorrells, who was instrumental in bringing about raids at houses occupied by Mrs. Ruth Morris at No. 51O Tennessee street and Mrs. R. l.. Austin at No. 819 East Third avenue several weeks ago, fail- ed to get a conviction in any of the several cases in the city police court yesterday afternoon. After the city failed to make a case'' against Mrs. Morris, Judge J. R. Stewart dismiss ed six charges against her and also dismissed three cases against Mrs. Austin on a plea of a former acquit- tai of similar charge in Magistrate w. D. Vance's court. Mrs. Morris and Mrs. Austin were represented by At torney T. Havis Nixon.
 Chief of Police D. c. Stanley testi- fled in the Morris case. HIe said he had collected fines at the Morris houses, but as far as the police could learn they could get no evidence that Mrs. Morris was conducting a bawdy house. They had had complaints from time to time about the character of the house, but investigation each time failed to confirm the reports.

 Church is 56.

Immense crowds continue to at tend the Violett meetings at Fifth avenue and Main street, drawn by the matchless mastery of the Bible shown by the evangelist in his clear cut use of the different chapters which he uses from night to night. It is conceded by most all who have heard MT. Violet that he is one of the greatest evangelists, from a scriptur- al standpoint that have ever visited Pine Bluff
 The evangelist preached Sunday morning at eleven o'clock on Jesus Christ, the I Am, Yesterday, Today, Yea and Forever" after which, the regular communion service was had. Sunday evening the evangelist preach ed to about twenty-five hundred peo- pie on ''The Judgment Day.. Hun dreds were turned away from this ser vice for want of seating room, how ever, those who remained during the service gave the usual rapt atten- tion to MT. Violett's strong appeal for all of his hearers to prepare for the judgment day which is sure to come.
 The music Sunday evening was un- usually fine. The Sunbeam Chorus, under the leadership of Prof. Haley rendered a very pretty song called Rain Drops. Prof Haley sang a !, solo of his cwn composition which was very much enjoyed. Miss Lil- lian Vail, after the service, sang "Be

 They entered the store through one of the front windows and directly after them followed the brother own CTS, armed to the teeth with hickory clubs and Barlow knives. Tn the fight that followed Bill McClain was severely cut and bruised around the head.
