LOCAL MAGAZINES
 ARE INSPECTED R. H. Innes, of the Bureau of Explosives, Spent Yes terday in Pine Bluff
LESSENS EXPLOSIONS
And Incidentally American Railways Association is Doing Away
 With Accidents on Railroads

R H Innes, local inspector for the Bureau of Explosives for the Ameri- can Railway Association which is do- ing much to lessen the loss of life ill this country and Canada by eda- eating the handler and shipper of ex- plosives as to the dangers attending the handling of them, was in Pine Bluff yesterday and inspected three magazines, owned by local hardware houses on the outskirts of the city. lie stated last night that he found :he magazines and the explosives stored in them in good condition and tn 1t the regulations of the Interstate Con- merce Commission were being gener- ally observed in this city.
 Mir. Innes Is under Colonel D. w.. Dunn, of the United States Army, who has charge of the campaign that has been waged most successfully for the past five years to lessen the loss of life in the transportation departments of the various railroads in the Unit ed States and Canada, so frequently recorded in former years from ex- plos'ons while explosives were in transit. MT. Innes is making a tour of this state at this, time. making in- spections in various towns and cities, and also has Oklahoma, a part. of Texas and Louisiana in his jurisdic- tion.
 In 1906 because of so many eXplOs- ions and such great loss of life on railroads from careless shipments of explosives, the American Railway As- sociation got up set of regulations to control the situation, but the ex- pertinent was a failure. A bureau Of explosives was organized later by Col. Dunn, under an act of Congress. and that body passed some laws and in- structed the Interstate Commerce Commission to formulate regulations, governing the handling of explosives and other dangerous articles. Under the new law no new explosives can be placed on the market without the approval of Colonel Dunn. and he has the authority to condemn such goods offered for shipments if he deems them unsafe for transportation. The railroads are not required to handle any explosives from magazines and factories, unless they are open for inspection. Az an evidence of what Is being accomplished by the educational and inspection campaign of the 'bu- reau of Explosives of the American Railways oc'ation in cooperating with the Interstate Commission. MT. 1nnes says that in 1906 the year be- fore the organization of the burecu' there were 7S railroad men killed m explosions. Tn 1907 there were S2 deaths. n 1908 only 26, and in 1903 t,e number was reduced to two. Tn 1910 not one single employe of me transportation departments of the va rjous railroads i'll this country were killed by an explosion.

D0NACHfY AND
 N0RW00D CLASH What is to Be Done With the State Convicts is Now
 a Political Issue
GEN. NORWOOD TALKS
Gov. D0naghey's Resolution Is tdOpt- ed in the House Doing away
 With Lease System

Little Rock, March 3O.-The sup reme issue before the Arkansas Leg aslature today, aside from the question of where the money is coming from to pay their per diem, is, what sEaI be done with the state convicts' It has assumed the appearance of a poli- rical question as between the friends of Governor Donagney whose pol:ti- cal intentions are as yet unkl own, and Attorney General Norwood. who is an avowed candidate for governor. They differed on the board as to the disposition of the oonvicts. Gov. Donaghey sent the Legislature a spe cial message on the subject ant this afternoon Gen. Norwood, by invita- tion, delivered an address hefore tn" joint assembly.
 The whole day, almost was devote to the question i'll both houses. The Senate indefinitely postponed all res- olutions seeking to instruct the board and a bill was introduced by Senator Miles, providing that such convicts as are not needed on the stat; farm b. worked on county :oads. Senator Toney's Pine Bluff-Little Rock high way bill provides for the use of one hundred conv:cts, and Representative Ragon's bill, for a highway from Ft. Smith to Little Rock, also provides for the use of convicts. Senator Covington has given notice that he will introduce a bill for the reorgan- ization of the penitentiary board making it consist of one mem5c from each congressional district, to be elected by the Senate, which will take it out of the hands of state of- ficials
 While the various resolutions amendments and substitutes were be- ing considered in the House Gen. Norwood appeared, was introduced by MT. Going, and proceeded at once to a discussion of the question He praised the work of the Tax Commis- sion, nd took a. few shots at local legislation, saying thrt it IS som etimes better than general laws with qnes- tionable operation.
 1 He said there is a sentiment in the state against the lease system and made a distinction between this and the contract system, under winch f'e lsaid the state had paid, with .he gid O! two good crops, debt of s9S,OOO, al sn S51 900 on the farm; had pad fo1 the maintenance of the C. l. :'icts an'' had, done vast amount of the work for the capitol commission, for which ;t had been given no credit. Since
 January last, the tcard had not got. ten a dollar except that derived from the contracts, which expired las' week. Now the board has 200 men on it's hands withoat employment i've must renew his conttact said he. "or some other provision must be made for these men. Do not seno them to the farm unless you provide means of meeting the pay vols ane { other expenses Those wh, adtocatt ] making contracts at th's time 'o1 no necessarily advocate the system ana

M M'DONALD USED
 KELL0GC'S NAME Tried to Deceive Officers and Got Well to Do Man
 in a Bad Light
MIR KELLOGG APPEARS
Bank Said Malvern Mans Cheek Was Good, But Prisoner Was Not
 Malvern Man.

white man who was arrested by the local authorities on Wednesday and that afternoon bound over to await the action of the Jefferson county grand jury on grand larceny charge, had given the officers the name of w. c. Kellogg, a well-to-do and law abiding resident of Malvern, Hot Spring county, as his own. MT. Kel- logg saw the account in the Graphic yesterday morning Of his own arrest and was naturally surprise to learn that he had been placed in jail on a grand larceny charge. He imme edi- ately investigated the matter and 3e- clared that the man under arrest was John Mcdonald, 1aborer, who had been in his employ for one week and about whom he knew very little. It is believed that Mcdonald is bad egg'' as he told a rather clever story when arraigned before Magistrate j.. A. FTdZl6r W6uh6Sudy.
 When arrested, after stealing -$45 from the pockets of J, T. Allen, a Dallas county farmer, who occupied a room with Mcdonald at the Fourth Avenue Hotel the night previous, the prisoner declared that he went un- der two names--John Mcdonald and W. c. Kellogg. His mother was mar- ried a second time, he said, and his fathers name was Kellogg. My right name is w. c. Kellogg said McDon- ald when being closely questioned ty District Attorney T. HavIs Nixon. "You ought to put the right name on the warrant" he advised when the papers were being prepared in the magistrate's court. Upon being ques- tioned further Mcdonald asserted that he was prominently connected at Nal vern and named a number of promln- ent people as his relation, when III fact he was manning relatives of w. C. Kellogg, who came forth yesterday for an explanation and who declares that Mcdonald evidently used nls name to secure funds from Malvern bank.
 Kellogg at first told the officers that he would gladly refund the mon- ey he had stolen from Allen, if they would give him a blank check. lie asked the officers to make 'nquiry s' Malvern and ascertain if he did Ao' have funds in certain bank there Allen, anxious to get his money pack telephoned the Malvern bank and they told him that w. c. Keliogg $ checks would be honored for large sums. After being bound over to the grand jury, and after his plan .e secure his release failed, McDonaio refused to write a check for his VIC, tim. being too clever for that. He knew that the check would be worth less and that forgery charge migh' be docketed against him. He was placed in the county jail and Will re main there for some weeks untli ,n' grand jury reconvenes.
 i w. c. Kellogg, who has charge c the work of laying pipes in this sec ticn for the Arkansas National Ga' Company, appealed to District Attor ney Nixon and the Graphic yesterda' to straighten out the matter. He an
 joys a high standing 9t his nom town-Malvern and has never osel in trouble. Mcdonald put nm III bad light, he said. in using his nam
 and everything is being done Dy 'n
 officers to get the true facts be1or the public.

CLASSIC PRODUCTION
HIGH SCHOOL TO GIVE SHAKE
SPEARE'S "MACBETH"
STUDENTS STAGE MASTERPIECE
Saturday Evening at Opera House,
Afternoon Matinee for
School Children

The students of the high school will
present the play, Macbeth. at the
opera house next Saturday evening,
March, II.
1t is the practice of the high school to
reproduce some high class play each
year. This we do for the good of the
students and not simply to present a
SHOW"
A thorough study has been made of
this masterpiece, and the entertain
ment will represent the Interpretation
of the parts by the students and their
ability to express such Interpretation.
Appropriate costumes have been
rented from abroad and from the
Lodges at home, and every effort has
been made to make the entertainment
feature as successful as we believe the
study element has been.
All are cordially invited to attend.
Admission is 25 cents. The play will
be given Saturday afternoon at 3
o'clock as matinee, and to this chill
dren will be admitted for 10 cents.
Regular tickets for the evening may be
reserved at Dimock's Drug store for
10 cents extra. All proceeds above ex-
penses will be used for some worthy
purpose in connection with the Public
schools.
The following synopsis of the play
was prepared by student and may
assist the reader in an understanding
of the various scenes as they will be
presented. The cast of characters is
also given below.
ACT !
While returning from a battle in
which they have been the successful
generals, Macbeth and Banquo meet
three witches. The latter had planned
the meeting. They greet Macbeth as
Thane of Glamis, Thane of Candor and
tell him that he will some day be king.
Banquo's heirs are promised the king
dom. No sooner have the witches van
uished than messenger greets Mac
beth with new title, Thane of Can
dor. He is already Thane of Glamis.
This partial fulfllment of the prophecy
makes him desire the remainder, the
title of king. He concelves the mur-
der of the king and is urged on to the
work by his wife.
ACT 2
Duncan, the king, visits Macbeth's
castle Macbeth hesitates to do the
deed but stung by his wife's taunts he
murders his guest. The kings sons
flee and the supposition is that they
have done the deed. Macbeth is
crowned king.
ACT 8
Macbeth is uneasy because of the
promise made by the witches to Ban

DETECTIVES STORIES
CAPTAIN OWEN o. WARD AID
DRESSES FOUR MEETINGS
TELLS OF CRAFT IN HIGH PLACES
Says Night Air is Bad for BOYS and
Girls Some Experiences
With Crime


Detective Owen o. Wizard of Spring
boro, Penn, gave three of his splendid
lectures in Worden's Opera House
during the week. Friday night he
spoke to very small audience on the
subject of the capture of the Black
Hand King and his Cohorts. He said
that any such foolish method as trying
to extort money by threatening letter
was the work of amateurs and,not of
the Black Hand Society. The Black
Hand members never tried to get your
money they work among their own
nationality. Mr.. Wizard was introduced
by Rev. Sanders, who also served as a
subject to illustrate how the bandit
uses the stilletto. The detective gave
some good advice to boys and gave an
illustration of the pernicious effects of
allowing boys to read detective stories
without proper supervision.
Sunday afternoon, Mr.. Wizard talked
to $50 men at the opera house on the
social evil. He positively asserts that
this is the greatest crime of our
country today, and he gave some hard
blows to the vipers that champion this
vice, showing how low man brings
himself.
There was great mass meeting
Sunday evening and the hundreds of
people present who gave rapt attention
testified to the power of the speaker.
Rev. Watson introduced Captain Wizard
with few pointed remarks about the
responsibility of every citizen for our
government. Mr.. Wizard said: "It is
not my business to talk, but do it
some of the time" He told of being
stopped by the Canadian officer when
on his way to Ladysmith. He discov-
cred from the mans speech that he
was Yankee by birth and it did not
take long to convince him that he be-
longed in the United States and he let
him come in. Mr.. Wizard mentioned in
passing that they let a good many into
this country that do not belong here.
Those coming here, come to land of
liberty, and here we have altogether
too much liberty, said he. Children
are allowed to run the streets day
or night without constraint.
We are the most lawless people on
the earth. Germany convicts 95 per-
cent of her murders, the United States
1.3 percent. Here mobs execute more
than the law, said Mr.. Ward. We
convict 96 percent of safe blowers.
Why this difference down to less than
percent of other criminals? The peo-
pie are to blame.
There was in his state certain judge
who became famous for his ability to
decide cases favorably for the Interests.
