II BGE GRACE GRANTS MOTION FOR CHANGE 0F YENUE IN BIG
 MURDER CASE,
IT WILL BE COSTLY
More Than d Hundred Witnesses Are to Testiiy-Rhea is Brought
 Back.

Judge 4. B. Grace, in the Desha circuit court, yesterday granted w. s. Rhea, charged with murder in the first degree, change of venue to Jeffer- son county and set the case down for trial on October 23. Rhea, who has been in the county jail here since tho killing of Vital Archard the Farrell constable near Dumas on May 13, was returned from Arkansas City yester- day by Deputy Sheriff R. H. Williams and again placed i'll the county jail to await trial. He was taken there at the request of Judge Grace OH Mon- day.
 Judge Grace sent the murder case 10 Pine Bluff because he said the term of the Lincoln circuit court, which opens at Star City next Monday, is so short that he feared he would not have time to hear the case there. And because the hotel accommodations were better here and Pine Bluff was more accessible 10. the many witnesses who will be called here to testify from other towns and cities Attorney s. J. Hunt, who with Attorney w B. Sor- rells will assist District Attorney Nixon in the prosecution of Rhea, re- turned from Arkansas City last night. i The Rhea case will cost Jefferson county not less than 5000. More than a hundred witnesses will testi- from other counties. Rhea's is pro- minently connected, as was also the man whom he is accused of murder ing. While Rhea's relatives are us- ing every effort to bring about the de- i fendant's asquittal and have employ ed Col. George M Murphy, and former Acting Governor x. o. Pindall, of Lit tie Rock, and Taylor and Jones, of this city to defend him, the relatives of Archard have engaged the services of other attorneys to aid MT. Nixon to bring about conviction.
 The murder case promises to be one of the most interesting at this term of court. Four negroes, who are said to have been members of a mob that killed Archard, and of which Rhea is said to have been a leader. are also under indictment in connec- tion with the killing of the officer. They are in jail at Arkansas City.

NO DECISION IN
 THE SALOON CASE
Judge Philpot May Suspend Order Re. yoking Local Saloon License in the Event Judge Grace Considers
 Case.

Judge c. NJ. Philpot has not decid- ed the case of Senyard and Belzner, local saloonists, who asked for per- mission to keep their saloon open until their appeal is heard by Judge Grace He will probably not render a decision today, as Judge Grace will return to this city this afternoon and it is expected that the attorneys for the saloon men will get hearing of their appeal immediately. Judge Phil- pot is considering the matter, how ever, and in the event that Judge Grace does not hear the case at this time but assures the attorneys that he will dispose of it during the first weeks session of the October term of the Jefferson circuit court, there is a likelihood of Judge Philpot sus- pending his order revoking the license until some action is taken by Judge Grace in the appeal case.

The two girls entered the waiting room for white people and proceeded to make themselves at home. Patrolman Will Hams saw them enter the toilet and went to them requesting that they go into the colored waiting
 Beneath the dark brown Potrolman Williams could see livid coloring in the Women'S faces, but he remained stern. The two women apparently greatly indignant commanded him to leave the toilet and made unsuitable remarks about his nerve for asking them to come out.
 Patrolman Williams then placed them under arrest and marched the two women to headquarters. They told the officers that they were ac- customed to mingling with white peo- pie in the big cities of the North and stated that they did not think Pine Bluff people were any better. How ever, the police judged it a misde- meanor, and locked the two girls up until two good looking five spots" came to their secue.
 It is stated that Grace Neff is one of the stars of the company and that the entire aggregation of players con- slider the arrest great indignity to their profession and even their white manager is plain spoken in his dis approval of his girls being arrested. He is reported to have said that they were "only young girls, and very in nocent." It is also stated that he threatens to give Pine Bluff bad write up in a theatrical journal.

DR. GODDARD AT
 THE FIRST METHODIST
Increased Attendance Noted at Revi- val Services Last Nfght-Preaches
 Good Sermon.

There was an increase in the at tendance upon the revival meeting at the First Methodist church last night. Quite a number of the resi- dent ministers of the city were pre- sent. Dr. Goddard took for his text, "Sir, we would see Jesus." St. John 12:21. He said in part:
 And interesting story is here told by St. John of a delegation of Greeks who sought an interview with Jesus. This simple request stirred Jesus as no other incident did during his so- journ on earth We do not know from the record whether the inter- view was ever had. The Greeks, voicing the Gentle world, asked to see Jesus. Jesus heard in this re- quest the voice of an alienated, or phaned humanity, seeking reconcilia- tion with God. He saw in himself the panacea for their ills. Saw in him. self the bridge that would span the chasm and lbring them into favor with God Hence this incident ex- torts from Jesus some of the sublim- est utterances that ever fell from his 1, lips.
 "This incident suggests two funda- mental truths. First, man, all men, have Godward tendency. There is an innate, ineradicable longing for union and communion with the di- 1 vine. All men are naturally wor- shippers. Atheism is unnatural. All races, all peoples, everywhere wor- ], ship something. Second, it is diff cult for men to comprehend an ab- stract purely spiritual divinity. Man wants to bring Divinity into the realm of the concrete. Hence, the practice of idol worship. Idol worship is man 3 abortive effort to bring Divinity into the realm of the concrete. Man wants something he can lay his hands on and cry, My Lord and my God!' God fore-saw mans needs, and in the in- So1 o1AdtAOu Ol OCouS UAOu6ulI OlVlully into the realm of the concrete. In the voice of Jesus man hears Divinity; in , the person of Jesus he sees Divinity. The Bible says, My Lord shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus All needs of the human race are met in Jesus Christ. A vision of Him will transform life. This soul-hungry world needs look on Jesus. Look to Him and live"
 The sermon was one of far-reach- ing thought, and evidently over-reach-
 ed some of the congregation. It's substance was something over which the thoughtful could we'll afford to ponder for hours. One came forward for prayer. Many expressed desire to be saved. It was announced that Dr. Goddard would continue a series of talks on the Holly Spirit at the
 morning service this morning, and everybody was invited to attend. The services will continue, it is hoped and believed, with increasing interest.

Ten Dollar Week Ruin
Of Boys, Official Says

CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-Civil service mes
senger boys at SO a week are a failure.
r. A. Wldowson. secretary to the civil
service commission, says so, and adds
that he would like to find All exception
to this rule. While he is seeking for one
to prove that he is wrong, the work of
his office Is pillng up and he Is forced
TO have S20-a-week clerks do the bulk
Of his messenger work.
Good messenger boys at so a week
are impossible" he says. You can
take a youngster working for a corpora
ton at 50 a week. work him like a dog,
kick him around. abuse him in every
way. and he sticks closer than a brother.
But one of the young princes that
condescend TO take the civil service ex-
animation! Well. ! should say not"
The trouble, according to Mr.. Widow
son, is that the boys cannot stand pros
perity. Used 10 receiving small wages
and smoking cigarettes with the rest
of the gang they soon take to smoking
cigars, and playing poker when their
envelope contains SO instead of IS.
Advertisements have been inserted in
the newspapers calling for boys whose
heads will not be turned by money.
