At the request Of District Attorney
t. Havis Nixon yesterday County Judge

eacn OF the cOnstables who Wee re-
Gently reported by the Jefferson coun-
ty grand jury as being in arrears He
ordered them to report in his court on
the first Monday in July and SHOW
cause why they should not be ad-
judged defaulters. There are about
fifteen of them.
District Attorney Nixon stated yes
terday that it was not his desire to
take criminal action against any Of
the township officers, but that he
wanted them to know that they must
comply with the law and file their re-
ports quarterly and make settlements
as required by law.
County Judge Philpot also made an
investigation into the Indebtedness of
the county in the csse of the State
against W. S. Stewart, former con-
stable, who was recently indicted for
embezzlement and removed from a
magistrates office at Altheimer, pend
ing disposition of the case. Stew
art claimed that the county owed him
certain credits and for that reason
never settled with the county until
the matter could be Strengthened up.
He employed Attorney s. J. Hunt to
represent him at the hearing yester-
day.
It was found by Judge Philpot that
the county vas indebted to Stewart in
fees a%ggregating 1926 with $45 yet to
be considered. The county officials
hold that Stewart is indebted to the
county in the sum of S4S5.21. Stewart
will pay whatever sum is due to the
county and upon agreeing to pay the
costs of the criminal proceeding
against him, District Attorney Nixon
has promised that he will dismiss the
embehzlemert charge, if the matter is
adjusted to the satisfaction of County
Judge Philpot.

Anniversary Celebration At
tended By Five Thous-
and Guests
~ Seen E
Fifteen Thousand Persons Viewed the
Spectacle From Outside the
White House Grounds.
International News Special

Washington, June 19.-Over a bril-
liantly lighted, gaily peopled grounds
of he White House, a spirit at once
grand and simple reigned tonight
when the first citizen OF the nation
celebrated the twenty-fifth annive:-
sary of a marriage which has been
momentous to that nation.
The president, who himself, has said
with conviction as we'll as chivalry
chat his wife has been the inspiration
of his career, received tonight the
most notable assemblage Of famous
Americans and foreign diplomats that
has ever been brought together in the
capital.
Invitations had been sent to nearly
twelve thousand persons and there
were at least 5000 present. Outside
the grounds fifteen thousand persons
looked on at the me- gnificent scene.
For only the saints We're propitioas
and splendid weather held out to the
end Nine O'Clock found the White
House grounds ab!aze with lights,
color and animation.
A few minutes before nine a bugle
note from the veranda summoned Col
onel Cosby and the corps of White
{, House aides to the Blue Room and
turned all eyes toward the balcony.
The great electric flag, stretched
across the balcony, burst into a wav-
ing mass of color, the White House
guards in double file stepped to the
edge of the balcony and drew up at
"%Attention.'' simultaneously the
President and Mrs. Taft emerged from
X the parlor at the head of the stairway,
leading down to he garden and a
wave of applause swept yer the as
xnemblage below as the military band
rom Fort Meyer burst into the strain
# "The Star Spangled Banner"
1t was a most inspiring spectacle.
RS. Taft, looking. better than for
pnths, Leaned on the arm Of the
esideat, a happy smile lighting up
II face. The president, with his
ad thrown proudly back, seemed to
Nav the wife Of % years closer to his
kide and then stood rigid until the last
notes of the national anthem had
Eloated off across the Potomac.
There was a brief pause. The hands
! Nof the military aides went quickly to
their caps in salute. Colonel Cosby
gave a low word IF command and
with the white uniformed aides lead
ing the way, the procession moved
slowly down the marble steps, as upon
the summer sir came the notes Of the
7 s~Lohengrin Wedding March to which
rs years ago Honight, William Howard

Cincinnati, led Nellie Heron to the
altar.

WATER COMPANY
FORCED TO EXTEND
It's Water Mains to Seven
teenth Avenue and Main
Without a Water Plug
FOR CITY INSPECTOR
Council Creates New POsitiOn-Magis-
trate Cheek Acting Police
Judge.

Because the repairs and improve
ments on the interior of the City Hall
were not completed, the city council
met in the city court room last night
and disposed of much business, in
Guiding the adoption of an ordinance
creating the position of city Inspector
who will receive 500 per month. The
inspector will inspect poles and wires
and meters. Alderman Fox opposed
the ordinance on the ground that he
did not believe the revenues from the
inspection system would be sufficient
to maintain the office. Alderman
Wolff was one of the champions of the
measure.
Much of the time was taken up in
argument over the proposition to eX-
tend water mains to Seventeenth ave-
hue and Alabama street. Tie council
passed an ordinance two weeks ago
requiring the Pine Bluff Corporation
to extend its water mains to Seven
teenth avenue and Main street, the
required guarantee of $50 being made
by property owners on the Rutherford
addition. The city did not subscribe
for a water plug there as it was not
needed.
President F. C. Bridges. Of the Pine
Bluff Corporation, addressed the coun-
Gil and pointed u the inconsistency
of The council in establishing water
plugs in sparsely settled sections OF
the city, declaring that the ex-
p%enditures of the city was
in many instances far greater
than that of the water consumers.
Figures for three years past show that
the water company made extensions
a%ggragating 10,99S feet which, accord
ing to the contracts should have
brought $1,709.60 The actual rev
enue for that period, however, was
only 81, 150.40 of which the city paid
$500. Because of the failure of the
consumers in the affected districts to
maintain water service. and because OF
their refusal to comply with individ-
ual contracts the Pine Bluff Corpor-
alton lost $559.2S. Mr.. Bridges de-
clared that the water company mad
been very liberal in this regard and
would continue to be so, but he
thought the council should consider
the company and not require it to
make extensions at a great expense
and in face II receiving Insufficient
revenue, every time d petition WAS
pre-: ent:I it FIR 4 water main eX-
tension. Ali 3rma,. FoX and .Aldrr-
man Wolff said the corporate, us plea
should be considered. Alderman Fox
said that he had always contended
that the city was taking too many
hydrants and that he would in future
vote against them. Alderman Hollis
~strenuously opposed granting the re-
quest tf the water company and 81
though a majority of the aldermen had
signed an agreement to include a
water plug in the affected territory,
insisted that the Corporation be re-
quired to provide the service without
the aid of the city. On a vote Alder
man Howell andd Clement N9ted no,
but the origin?l ordinance stood, and
the extension must be made.
Magistrate l.. q. Cheek was elected
acting police judge to serve in the ab-
sencei CT illness of Judge J. r. Stew
art.

roads enthusiasts of this little city
and surrounding community, and
they are backing up their enthusi-

The members of the Sugar Tree
ball team and the friends who &C
companied them wish to thank the
ball managers, players and good
people of Camden for the nice
treatment and for the courtesies
shown them while there during
the last series of games. We can
say that we were never treated
better, and while it is true we lost
two games, we came back feeling
assured that Camden didn't do it,
aud that they can not, nor can any
other team in BENTON County.
When Sugar Tree wins victory
you can safely say Sugar Tree
won her own victory. Big Sandy,
Waverly, Dog Fork nor Martin
didn't do it.
