EXPLANATION BY
 MIR. H. M. BECK

The following letter which is self explanatory was received by the Graphic yesterday:
 Fit, Smith, Marcl IT, 1911. Daily Graphic:
 Pine Bluff, Ark.
 Dear MT. itor:--Please permit me to make slight correction of an error, which might be misleading to some in the report of the funeral services for Mir. Broadway.
 As reading from the Bible is not mentioned, very wrong impression might be received by those who were not present, but as matter of fact, the larger portion of the Christian services Is reading from the Scrip lures and passages from the Christian Science text book, Science and Heslth with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy are read following corre- lative passages from the Scriptures. Appreciating the courtesy of your space, for this purpose I am
 Very respectfully yours

gave the man beating that he will doubtless remember for some months to come. After satisfying her anger the woman stood up, but the supos- ed groggy local Jack Johnson, unlike Jeffries, came back. With another stiff punch he staggered the black damsel and her new Easter bonnet flew off, carrying several hat pins and an assortment of kinks, the kind you buy in the ten cent store, with it. This took all the fight out of the wo- man and she stopped and looked at her Hid" as if she had lost her last friend. Gathering up the fragments of the hat that would have doubtless made her famous on Easter Sunday, the woman walked North on Main street and the man hurried away. going East on Sixth avenue.
 Witnesses say the bout was the best they had ever seen. The woman prov ed that she was equal to tho task. although she is said to have been at . disadvantage. She wore na Harum skirt, but her opponent was big strong negro, who had evidently re- ceived his pugilistic training at the rear of "Old Beck in the cotton field.

FIERCE BATTLE ON
 MAIN STREET
Negro Man and "CulIed" Woman Phil Off Pugflfstic Mix.Up While
 Many Look On.

Pedestrians, teamsters, street car passengers and others, who happened to be at Sixth avenue and Main street yesterday evening at about 6 o'clock saw fight that many who travelled to Reno, Nevada, several months ago would have given $25 to see again. II was between young negro woman and negro man. It came up like a clap of thunder, without apparently any provocation and lasted for Zen minutes. It is said to have been the best Ego" that has been pulled eff in Pine Bluff since the days Of p'ize fighting here No arrests were made by the police and it is doubtful if the police are wise to the mill as yet.
 According to eye witnesses the lady of color, wearing new Easter bon net, laden with all of the vegetables grown in, an Arkansas garden and ev- cry variety of flowers known to the modern florist, passed by. Suddenly a gentleman jolted her one under the chin. The blow did not have the de- sired effect and the embarrassed fe- male came back with several blows, using an umbrella which was broken in, several places when it came in con tact with the two-inch cranium of her ma1o anta gonist
 The "male man. was persistent and retaliated with another vicious 9phnch on the jaw and the woman went down. The man was on her. punching her face. as quick as it takes to tell, but the woman was handy with the "mitts" too. She gave her assailant lesson in in-fishting and with sev- erel short arm isbs in the 'culied gentleman's" abdomen she brought him sideways and he tumbled over as if the referee had called ten. Rolling over and over in the street the par fought viciously while the crowd looked on, When the dust tfared away the woman was On top and she

HARE.M SKIRT AT
 THE GRAND LEADER

The new Harem skirt, introduced In New York and Paris by Paul Poiret. and which caused a sensation, has been introduced here by the Grand Leader Dry Goods Company. This company has sample skirt of the Harem variety on display in the ready-to-wear department for the in- spection of its patrons. There Is no city ordinance against the wearing Of such skirts, but 1t is not thought that the Harem skirt will become common here as wearers of the famous cos tune were so badly treated in New York, Paris and other cities that the use of 1t was abandoned.

LET'S HAVE A HIGHWAY.

One of Jefferson county's legisla- tors could do the hill farmers and residents of Pine BlHif and Little Rock great service if he would in- t,tduce bill il the present General As. mbly. authorizing the creation of an improvement distric. to bring about the building of a macadam road as a state highway between this city sni the capital. The dissa.ce is only fifty miles and the idea would meet with the unanimous support of the far- mers and other property owners in J.fftl sen, Saline apl pn'ask coun- ties through which the presen. Little Rock road runs from this city.
 For some years the Graphic has agi- tated the construction of a modern macadam road between Pine Bluff and Little Rock. It brought the matter up during the administration of for mer County Judge Gould, who was and Is still good roads enthusiast. and after some months of investiga- ton and just before Judge Gould vol- untarily retired from that office, the plans were being gotten we'll under way. Judge Joe Asher, of Pulaski county, and Judge Gould were plan- nirg to join hands in the project and had it not been for their inability to get the strip of Saline county road in- cluded in the proposed district the macadam road between two of Ark snsas' most important cities would have been a realization.
 <. A bill, authorizing the creation cs the tri-county district, wouli result in a light taxation if the state saw fit to donate 100 convicts a day to build the road and with the crushed rock adjacent to the proposed highway it could be built at a small cost and probably finished within sixty days. Governor Donaghey, who always has the interest of the taxpayers and the state at heart, would in all probability favor such a plan The Penitentiary Board would willingly donate the ser. wees of the convicts for .t. brief period and with a few corrections in tLc present survey the Pine Bluff Little Rock macadam road would be cne of the finest fin the south.
 An improvement of this kind would be of inestimable value to the hill farmers between this city and t!ie capital. It would result in an ine'llx Ci truck farmers from the north. r the territory between this city and Lit tie Rock offers great advantages and immediate success for truck farms. Senator Toney, whose influence in the Senate, could easily introduce and

ROBINSON HURT IN EXPLOSION
Instructors Wrist Cut When Hydro
gen Lets Go at High School.

Yesterday afternoon, while con-
Quoting an experiment in the chem
istry laboratory in the high school,
Professor Robinson was injured on
his left wrist, by an explosion of n.y.
drogen. The professor was conduct
ing an experiment before the class in
burning hydrogen. AS hydrogen is
an explosive all the air must be out of
the generator before it is lighted. Mr..
Robinson accidentally touched the
match too soon. The explosion was
heard all over the building. The ap-
paratus that was being used was
shattered, throwing bits of glass
about the laboratory. Several of these
glass particles lodged in the profess
sor's wrist, but they were extracted
with the assistance of Professor Otto
I. Bergh, and the wound bound up.
Although the injury is painful, it is
not dangerous. Professor Robinson
refused to visit physician until he
had completed the experiment.

TRUNK Line FOR BEMIDJl
A. G. Cults Admits Present Pla1
Provides Building New Railroad
Through This City.
TO BE AIR ROUTE TO WINNIPEG

Reports that Bemidji is to have a
new trunk line railroad as soon as
surveys can be completed so that the
work of construction may be started
have been confirmed according to the
following from last nights issue of
the Crookston Daily Times:
"A B. Cults, assistant traffic man
ager for the Minneapolis and st.
Louis and Illinois Central, which
have agreed to combine, a few details
only remaining before the actual
consolidation takes place, and H. V,
Peterson, travelling passenger agent
the city, coming down from Winni-
peg last evening and leaving for
Grand Forks and Fargo this morning
on the late train.
"Mr. Cults stated that his trip to
Winnipeg was on regular business
and had nothing to do with the pro-
posed extension to the roads to Win
nipeg, though he confirmed the re-
port that such extensions would be
made. He states that work will be-
gin next year. and that only few
details regarding routes, etc., remain
to be decided definitely
THE tentative plan is to extend to
Bemidji and on to Warroad and
thence to Winnipeg with one line,
while a second extension into Canada
will be made from WATERFOWL, S. D.
asked as to Crookston, and he
stated that without doubt if the Be-
midi extension came near Crookston,
a feeder would connect this city.
at has been suggested by several
prominent local men that it is time
for Crookston to get busy and do bus
mess with the two roads which have
practically consolidated. Thus far
practically nothing has been done to
get Crookston on the railroad map OF
this great system, and it is quite gen.
orally believed that something should
be done.''

WHAT A LAND SHOW IS LIKE
Exhibits More Complete Than State
Fair, Minnesota Having Big Space.

Those who could not visit the Min
nesota State Fair and see the great
display of Minnesota's products, will
have another opportunity to see ev-
erything which could be seen at the
state fair, except the livestock and
horse races. More than that, the ex-
hibits of the states resources will be
more complete as a summer and fall
have been consumed in collecting the
best exhibits ever gathered for dis
play. The state of Minnesota occu-
pies 1900 square feet of floor space
at the Land Show to be held in
St. Paul, Dec. II to %. In addition
to this the railroads in the northern
part of the state have 500 square
feet, giving Minnesota the largest
display in the show. Everything will
be shown from garden truck and
small fruit to minerals; from farm
crops to furs and live fish. +

KOHL TELLS OF SETTLERS
Writes Great Northern That More
Than $50 Homeseekers Have
Recently Arrived.
CREDITS MUCHT0 EXHIBIT CAR
(CopynEht. ny

That more than $50 settlers hav
been induced to make their homes i!
this vicinity as result of Mime
sofa Exhibit car which Travelled il
the eastern states last winter is in
dicated by a letter from M. N. Kol
Of Cass Lake to H. A. Noble, genera
passenger agent of the Great North
ern railroad company.
Mr.. Koll's letter follows:
E. c. Leedy, G. l. A.,
G. N. Bldg, St. Paul, Mimi.
Dear Sir:
I have to advise you that Mr..
Michael Kellner formerly of St.
Paul has purchased thirty
four acre tract of land near Far
ris for $500. This is one of the
men who came here through the
efforts of your Office. Quite a
number of people are coming in
from outside and since the State
Fair about eleven families have
purchased in this vicinity; two
from Nebraska and one from
South Dakota and several from
Illinois among the number. l
do not doubt but what your adj
vertising has had very much to
do with their coming here. Peo-
pie in this section are all feeling
fine over the influx of settlers.
The vacant homestead lands
in this immediate vicinity of
Cass Lake are all gone now. ex-
cept a few isolated tracts and I
do not doubt but your Office was
responsible for anywhere from
100 to $50 of these that located
here on and after August %.
This last opening seems to have
furnished US a better bunch of
settlers than any in my previ-
Gus experience as they all seem
to be here with the intention of
staying On their lands and build
ing up the country.
The Farris potato warehouse
is ready for business, and it will
be an added indictment for set
tiers to locate along this line.
We are also preparing to build
one here at Cass Lake.
want to assure you that we
appreciate the efforts of your Of
flee in inducing settlers to come
to Northern Minnesota.
Yours very truly,
