..Tell Edgar Brewster I Will Bore a Hole in Him If He
 Attempts My Arrest. ''
' WENT AFTER HIM
Rnt Tom Anderson Took Rifle and Ammunition and Made His
 Escape.

When Deputy Sheriff R. H. Will Hams went to arrest Tom Anderson, a white fisherman, who lives on the old Boyd place on the opposite side of the Arkansas river, yesterday, shortly after the noon hour, on a charge of wife beating, the accused man met the deputy at the front gate and told him that he would not sub. init to arrest.
 T will kill the first man who at tempts to take me- said Anderson. You can tell Sheriff Edgar Brewster for me that I will bore hole in him If he or any of his men try it'
 Deputy Williams, in an effort to avoid trouble, argued with the man and tried to reason with him, but without success. Williams was alone. He realized that he would have to kill the man to take him and after using his best judgment and after Anderson ran into the house and se- cured Winchester rifle, the deputy thought it best to return to Pine Bluff for other officers.
 The house in which Anderson and his family live is in plain view of those who occupy the Jefferson coun- ty court house on the South bank of the river. While Deputy Williams was talking to Anderson, attaches of the shsriff's office and others were watching them through a pair of field glasses from the south side of the stream.
 Williams, upon returning to the court house and reporting Anderson's threat to Sheriff Brewster, was com plimented by. Sheriff Brewster for not trying to take Anderson unaided. Williams said that he could have kill ed Anderson, but he deemed it best to return and get others to aid him in an effort to take him without trou- ble. We'll armed, Sheriff Brewster, ueputy Sheriffs Williams and Jake McNulty and Deputy Constable Dunk ". Stewart went in body to Ander- sons house, after crossing the river on the ferry boat. They separated and advanced on Andersonis house rom all sides. After reaching the building and with pistols drawn the officers entered it, lead by Sheriff brewster. and made thorough search of the premises. Anderson could not be found. His wife, who was suf- ierlng from injuries inflicted by her husband, stated that Anderson had taken his rifle and supply of am- munition and had gone into the woods. north of their home "A search was made of the surrounding country, but ne could not be found.

ARNOLD MYSTERY REMAINS MYSTERY Relatives Make Denials in Face of Proof Regarding
 Actions of Dorothy.
THE HOSPITAL VISIT
Is Still Unexplained By kinspeOple of Missing Heiress-NO
 Developments.
International News Special

International News Special
 New York, Feb. 17.-It was impos- sible to get from any member of the family of the missing Dorothy Ar mold any further explanation today of Majorie Arnold's visit to the Flower Hospital last Tuesday than the one already given, that she visited the institution merely to look over the place.
 Dr. Harrisonl B. Arnold would make no explanation today of the contradictory statements he made Wednesday and Thursday regarding the visit of his young kins'woman and her friends.
 Commissioner Flynn said today that the police were not doing any work on the case, although they are ready and willing to go to work as soon as, anybody discovers a clue. The police, while not saying so offi- cially, are convinced that the women members of the Arndd family at least known something more of the girls whereabouts than they have told.
 There are persistent reports from Atlantic City that George Griscom Jr knows more about the girls where abouts than he has told. It is be- lieved that Griscom might get hold of the girl if he was not so closely watched. -"-e ~is4 ;. a
 That the missing girl was deceivlng her family as long ago as last Sep tember, is shown by the fact that while she was supposed to be visit ing friends in the suburbs of Boston she was really at the Hotel Lenox in that city, while Griscom was at the Hotel Essex. Although the family deny this and the stories that Dorothy pawned $500 worth of jewell ry in Boston for .$6O, the polec of that city have absolutely proven both stories.

Below I hand you endorsement of this message signed by majority of the direc tors, and in behalf of some of the di- rectors who were either out of the city or not in office when called upon they had no opportunity to sign it. wish to say that I have no regrets or apologies to make for sending this message.'

I wish you would kindly notify

either flower or vegetable seeds to
write me for them at once, to the

cause it is waste OF time and ma
terial to send seeds to those who
do not care for them; and still,
there are many thousands OF peo-
pie in the state who do want them.
The people Of moderate means in
the cities and towns, and The new
settlers in the country, use them
to the best possible advantage
every year. distributed over
thirty thousand packages last sea-

SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS

Great Britain has had two cleo
tions in which the right OF the peo-
pie to their land, the right OF the
Irish to govern themselves and
therefore the right OF the Welsh
and the Scotch OF the English
and all the rest, and the freedom
OF the common people from lordly
dictation have been involved and
in which democracy has won. We
hear in Great Britain the slogan
OF Henry George in the tones
and terms OF Lloyd George; and
We see there the practical working
out OF Henry Georges primary
specification for democracy pol
itical, social, economic. Still I'M
der the British flag We see the
same democratic processes regard
ing the land working themselves
out triumphantly in New Zealand
and Australia. Following the Brit
ish flag into Canada, the spirit OF
Henry George hovers over Van
couver, making it the most pros
porous city on the Pacific coast;
and thence across the line, under
the flag of Georges own birthright
that same spirit makes itself fel.
in Washington and Oregon.
Already plans are under way to
make Oregon bloom with prosper
ity of an Oregon for Oregonians
instead OF an exploited planta ZION
for nonresident plunderers. The
adoption by the people of Oregon
at the recent election of the local
option right of taxation which the
capitalistic legislatures of New
York have stubbornly refused her
people these Is years Or more, is
the first opportunity afforded the
counties OF any state in the Union
OF deciding, each for itself, whether
or not it will adopt the homes. and
prosperity-making system OF ex-
empting industry and taxing land
monopoly.
In nine states OF the Union this
this method Of democracy is al
ready the law, and in some it is
in active and successful use. BE-
lore the present year grows old,
President Taft will have to decide
whether he will tie his faction of
the republican party to the dead
body OF toryism by excluding Ari-
iona from the Union because Ar
zona stands for the Initiative, Ref
erendum and Recall and admitting
New Mexico because New Mexico
opposes them at the command OF
corporations. Friends OF direct leg
islation may rejoice either way. II
he decides for Arizona, another
direct legislation State will have
come into the Union; il he decides
against Arizona, he will make
national issue OF Direct Legislation
versus Monopoly Corporations.
Look anywhere in the world and
the quickening OF democracy is
evident. Turkey and Persia have
felt 1t, Japan and China are throb-
bling with it, Egypt and India are
alive to it, Russia sees it with blood
in the eye of her oligarchy. Italy
and Germany are responding to il.
A new cycle did indeed begin with
the new century. The besotted
plutocracy OF the old century has
not yet gone out, but rejuvenaied
democracy is here. Let the pol til
cal mariner take his latitude.-Thc
