THE POLICE AFTER
 SPED MANIACS
Plain Clothes Men Patrol Olive Street and Two AutOmObilfsts Aff
 Arrested.

Since speeding of autom obilists has become such fad that the lives o1 citizens are endangered while on the streets, the police officers have start ed d rigid crusade against exceeding the speed limit and are desperately at tempting to put stop, to the danger ous practice.
 Plain clothes men were stationed On South Olive street, the principal driv- ine street of the city, yesterday to de- tect the law breakers. Officers Max Cook and. John Rankin were the off cars on duty on the boulevard yester- day. It is rumored that scores of autoists were seen to have been eX- ceeding the twelve mile limit yes terday afternoon and last night, but tho police records at late hour only showed that two warrants of arres had been issued.
 The first warrant was issued yes terday against Jack Langford, son o1 William H. Langford, the wealthy planter and financier. The warrant was served upon him and he will ap- near/in police court this morning tc answer the charge of exceeding the speed limit. City Detective Dave Glover asked for the warrant The second warrant was sworn out las' night for the arrest of Charles Si- mon, a prominent young man Of Little Rock.

 As it appeared that some political significance was attached to the in- vitation by some, MT. Clarke explain ed that it had nothing to do with any body's political aspirations for gov ernor or other office, but was a re- cognition of the services of MT. Rob- inson in the national House. The amendment was rejected and the res olution adopted.
 Later in the morning session, how ever, resolution by Mr. Going invit- ing Attorney General Norwood to ad- dress the House and in which refer ence was made indirectly to the pos sible candidacy of Mir Norwood for governor two years hence, was adopted by the House.
 No date has been set for either ad- dress, this being left to the gentlemen who are to make the speeches.

 Speeding seems to be mania with some Pine Bluff autoists. Many have repeatedly disregarded the speed lim- it not only on the streets near the city limits, but frequently on streets near the heart of the city. The off, cers intend to break the practice il possible before a bad accident results from the practice.
 South Olive street, the new creo- soted block paved thoroughfare, is possibly the scene of more speeding than any other driveway. It is stat ed by residents of that street, pedes- trians and persons who travel in bug gies and wagons. that Barney Old field would be put to shame by the time that some of the local autoists make on this beautiful avenue
