Highly Esteemed Here.

The death of Mr. Maxwell will be sad news to his Pine Bluff friends. and he had many of them here. His official duties frequently brought him 10 Pine Bluff and he was always roy ally entertained by his local admirers. He was a genial, whole souled man, with many fine traits of character, and aways had good word for ev- erybody. The railroad boys at the shops, who were frequently thrown into his company, held him in the highest esteem. He always confer- red with them fairly and never fail- ed to give them a cordial greeting wherever he met them over the Cot ton Belt system. MT. Maxwell was an enthusiastic baseball fan and upon his frequent visits here several years ago, when Pine Bluff. had league ball. he was familiar figure at Forest Park. He attended the balls and banquets of the railroad organizations here on many occasions and was most popular with all classes.

the Gravis charges against him were deposited with the president two years ago at Beverly.
 The successor of MT. Ballinger Is Walter L. Fisher, of Chicago, who Is vice president of the National Con- servation Association, of which Gif- ford Pinchot is president, and it is an open secret that MT. Pinchot and Col Roosevelt pushed the charges ol Gravis against Ballinger.
 MT. Fisher will take charge of the office in few days. It is certainly expected in administration circles this will clear the atmosphere, so fal as the investigation of the Interior Department is concerned, with its al- legged coal lands frauds and leanings towards certain great trusts in New York, which were mentioned freely in the Ballinger investigation Congress-
 MT. Ballinger retires under pres sure and a shadow. He faced another and more vigorous investigation by a Democratic House of Representatives on his connection with alleged Alas ka coal land frauds. There was talk of his Impeachment by the House The last investigation cost him per sonally $25,000, it is said. He had no money to meet and defend the new investigation. He thrice resigned be- fore President Talft's acceptance.
 MT. Ballinger tonight gave out a statement in which he said he will immediately return to his home in Seattle and after securing the neces- sary rest will actively take up hie professional work.

and their friends and parents will be given tickets to the lower boxes and the other prizes will be tickets to the upper boxesl
 The contest was big success, judging from the large number of letters received at this office. Im- mediately after the performance ;o- III orrow afternoon Buster Brown Mary Jane," and "Tige" will hold a reception on the stage for ths G:aph- ic box party winners and all the oth- CT children who attend the perform ance. *-'9 '4
 It was indeed a hard matter to se- lect winners for the ninth and tenth prizes, as: some of the letters were so cle>erly written as to make it difficult to decide between them. But the Buster Brown" editor took into con- sideration the fact that some of the little people had written their letters themselves, while others had prmit- ted their parents to write them. In cases where the letters were written by the children themselves in their childish way, and some doubt existed to the inert of these which compared favorably to others in composition and cleverness, the letters written by the little tots were given preference over those written by their seniors.
 Some of the letters were accompan- fed by excellent cartoons of Buster" ''Tige" and Mary Jane,' but the drawings were not considered in award;ng th. pri.a- as no drawings had been asked for. However, the letter of Little Miss Ezell was so cie- verly written. the Buster Brown editor could not get away from it as one of the meritorious ones. It was accompanied by a fine drawing Of Buster" and "Tige'', but this feature did not figure in the awarding of the prize.
 The Graphic has many compliments for the little folks who tried for she honors. Practically all of the let ters were nicely written and some of them were most amusing and sensl- ble, yet the ten best letters were se- lected on their merits strictly. While the letter of Little Miss ouida Sanders, was written ill poetry, a requirement mot demanded in the rules, it surpass- ed all of the others in cleverness and covered the rules in every particular. It contained exactly 100 words With the name Of the writer and was cleverly done.

Taft Also Orders 10000 Troops Sent to Mexican
 Border.
HAVE SEALED ORDERS
Officials Offer Weak Explanation- Troops To Be Massed and
 Ready For Action.

Washington, March 7.-The presi- dent gave orders today for the imme. d1ate assembling in the Department Of Texas, near the Mexican border ot twenty thousand troops, and the dis. patch on rush orders of two thousand marines to Guanganamo by the trans ports Prairie and Dixie and the redez- Vousing of the three cruisers in the Gulf of Mexico,
 Administration officials from the president down describe the peculiar movement of the troops of the Army and Navy as the result of plans long since made from maneuvers of a
 war game' of the Army and Navy.
 While it is we'll understood that nc other statement could be prudently made to the public, the facts contra. dict the officials story. Had the plans been made long ago it would have not been necessary for midnight and early morning emergency work in the Department and the Quarter masters Department of the Army.
 It can be stated on official author ity that this mobolization of the Army and Navy on the Mexican line and shore line Is intended as a friendly act to Mexico and is so understood by Mexico. ~-'
 It Is known that some nations Great Britain for instance, have intf- mated to the State Department that in case of uncontrolled disorder in Mex ico, British interests would have to be taken care of. This appears to have been answered promptly and ef- fectively by the United States govern. ment by reference and it's tradition al policy as demonstrated in South America.
 The native of the administration. so far as it can be definitely learned, is to have massed and ready for action sufficient number of naval and mili- tary forces to preserve the peace in Mexico if President Diaz should for any reason be obliged to abandon the helm of public affairs. Major Gen. eral William H Garter was appointed commander in chief of the Army or the Mexican frontier.
