PRUDENTIAL SEEKS
SITES FOR OTHER
LARGE BUILDINGS
Would Erect Tower at Corner
of Broad and Market
Streets.
when the Prudential Insurance Com

When the Prudential Insurance Com
pany makes real estate acquisitions,
for which it is now negotiating, it will
own a clean sweep on Broad street
from Market street to Academy. and
will possess the site for what will un-
doubtedly prove to be the most notable
group OF buildings in America.
It was expected that deal, which
has been on for some time, to acquire
the property of the Essex National
Bank and the Federal Trust Company,
would have been closed today 1t will
be consummated in the very near fu-
ture.
This real estate transfer is the more
stupendous in view of the fact that the
Essex National Bank had been plan
ming a skyscraper for its site which was
to overtop the Firemen's Insurance
building, and that the Federal Trust
Company had tentatively planned
modern structure on it's site. The sale
of these two valuable plots will force
these two institutions to seek at least
new temporary quarters, which must
of necessity be in the immediate neigh
borhood-ths vicinity Of the corner OF
Market and Broad streets, which has
grown to be Newark's financial dis-
trict.
As has been announced the Pru-
dental proposes to build at Broad and
Market streets a great tower to rival
the sky-piercing structures Of New
York, which is to be the crowning glory
OF their group Of buildings Toward
Academy street they propose to put up
magnificent structures in accord with
their present style of buildings.
Now that the Essex National and the
Federal Trust are to be compelled
through the proposed sale to abandon
their building plans it Is believed pos
sible that the Prudential will provide
magnificent quarters for them In the
new building ON their old sites

The prisoner attempted to prove an
alibi. He gave detailed account of
3 his wauderings prior to the murder of
Cuoccolo and his wife and gradually
wrought himself up to fine frenzy.
He concluded In substance as follows:
"It is true that concealed myself at
the time when learned that was to
be arrested. In my boyhood lost one
eye. I feared that I would die in prison
from heart disease. which had already
seized me, or, what would be even
worse. that would lose my other eye"
Here the prisoner became hysterical
and sobbed violently, his face in his
hands Suddenly he raised his head.
and with a deft movement of the hand
released the glass eye, and. throwing it
on the floor before the judges bench.

raised. From the steel cages the pris-
oners shouted. cried and cursed.

When McGinnity reached the PARK
there was peculiar consultation 1t
was between MeGinnity and some Of
the best known fans who had followed
him in the parade to the diamond. Il
resulted in the Unanimous choice of
Lee as pitcher for the Newark team at
the outset anyway. Among the friends
who advised with McGinnity were for
mer Commissioner Castle. Alderman
Elmer Day. Tax Commissioner Howe
and Albert S. Koenig. McGinnity was
set on Lee from the first. When the
other fans agreed with him that the
man would not only probably pitch
better, but bat better than any other
man he could put in, he announced
that he would make that man his
pivotal player unless bad practise puts
him out of the running when the men
warm up.
The Montreal manager would give no

Chairman Underwood Exerting
Every Effort to Compel
Prompt Action.

WASHINGTON, April M.-The House
of Representatives entered today upon
what the leaders hope is the final stage
OF consideration of the Canadian reci-
procity bill. Strenuous efforts are be-
ing made to force a vote before ad-
iournment today. Chairman Under
wood, OF the committee on ways and
means. is exerting all possible pressure
to compel action.
It was agreed at a conference that
general debate would close at p. m
and remarks under the dye-minute
rule be in order Today's debate in
cluded speeches by Mr.. Mccall and
Mr.. Dalzell, the former in advocacy OF
the measure and the latter against 1t.
Mr.. Underwood as majority leader
claimed the privilege of closing the de-
bate.
The situation is complicated by the
great number of amendments offered,
Many of these are not germane, how
ever. and will be thrown out. The re-
nainder. many of which have been Of
fered to delay action, will provide diff
5culties. for their sponsors are ire
pared to demand roll-calls.
For these reasons doubt is expresses
by some House leaders that vote
can be reached without continuing the

Democratic 'steam roller" has proved
itself effective this session, and the op
tirnists of the party are pinning their
faith TO It on this occasion.

More Protection for Hogs Than
Human BEINGS Under Laws.

Kansas City, Nov. i5.-"I would
rather be a fat hog suffering from
cholera than the mother of a large
family in the first stage Of disease,
for if the government were notified
by the owner Of the hog, it would
give immediate aid in the form of
a bottle of serum; whereas, if the
mother asked aid, she would re-
ceive none because there is no gov
eminent bureau to aid her."
y. S. Senator Owen of Okla
homa expressed himself along these
lines today at the Trans Mississippi
Commercial Congress while plead
ing for a government health bu-
reau.
There is something radically
wrong with country that has a
bureau for the conservation of
plant and animal life, and no de-
partment adequately conserving
human life" declared the Okla
homa senator.

gress. The executives present were

and sterling silver tea service from
Mr.. and Mrs. J. II. Cox, father and
mother of the groom, and a chest
Of silver from Russell Cox, nephew
Of the groom.
The brides gifts to the brides
maids were little gold brooches in
the shape OF a crescent with four
leaf clover set with pearls.
Probably no young man in Mena
is so widely and favorably known
in financial and social circles as the
groom. He is the youngest son of
Mr.. and Mrs. J. II. Cox and was
born in Hume, Mo-, being now %
years of age. In early life he was
with his father in the mercantile
business, but in 1899 came to Mena
and associated himself in the brok-
erage business with his elder
brother, Eugene Cox. Later he was
one Of the organizers of the Cox
Wholesale Grocery Company, Of
which corporation he now is sec
Iretary and treasurer and large
stakeholder. He also is one of the
largest stockholders in the Farmers
and Merchants Bank, of which he
is cashier, and is vice president of
the Cox Investment Company, a
corporation recently formed to
handle the personal and real estate
investments of himself and brother,
Eugene Cox.
While Mr.. Cox is essentially an
energetic and capable business man,
he has always found time for the
social duties of life. In public and
private life he is liberal and broad
minded, and any call on him for
Icharity or to aid any enterprise in
behalf of Mena or Polk county or
the people thereof is certain to bring
a liberal response. He numbers his
friends by the hundreds.
Among the out-of-town guests
in the bridal party were: Mrs.
Albert Acruman and daughter, Miss
Vivien, of st. Louis; Miss Nettie
Acruman of Fordyce, Ark, Mr.. and
Mrs. w. NJ. Scroggins and daughter,
Miss Rhea, of De Queen; Miss Zu-
leka Henderson Of Dallas, Tex, and
Mrs. Howard Smith of Port Arthur,

Mr.. and Mrs. Cox left on the night
train for Kansas City, from whence
they will go on a wedding tour to
Los Angeles, by boat to San Fran
cisco, TO the Yosemite valley, Salt
Lake, Colorado Springs and inter
mediate points. returning to Mena
about Christmas, when they will be

most gracefully and heartily ex-
pressed their appreciation of the

Features of the banquet were the

were passed to the gentlemen, and
on leaving the hall each lady was
handed a beribboned box contain
ing a part of the brides cake by
little Nellamena Roach.
During the entire banquet sweet
strains of music, furnished by
pOwell's orchestra, added to the
pleasure of the occasion.
The bride is the only child of Mr.
and Mrs. G. L. Lochridge, and has
been known and loved in Mena
since early childhood. She is a
young lady Of more than ordinary
beauty. accomplishments and tai

Because of her superior musical
talents she is often called upon to
furnish entertainment for her

the willingness found only in such

Entire Town.

Talihina, Ok, Nov. Talihina
narrowly escaped a disastrous fire
last night when a barn of R. H.
Chowning, containing a large lot of
farm implements and 1000 bales of
hay caught fire and was destroyed.
The barn was located in the heart
of the city. When the flames were
discovered the barn was already
doomed, and for time it was fear
ed that the neighborhood where the
fire was located would be wiped
out. A volunteer force consisting
of fully GOO persons responded to
the alarm and helped fight the
flames. By heroic work on the part
of the citizens the fire was pre-
vented from spreading.
Ghowning carried no insurance.
Yesterday morning about Il
o'clock the palatial residence Of
Edgar Miller. three miles south Of
|Talihina. was destroyed by fire.
The home was worth $1,000. Nothing
was saved. Miller carried $4,000
insurance. The origin Of either
fire is not known.
