soon removed for there was no moro convincing fact than to see set oi jars charged with a salt solution, fur nlsh1ng current direct to a half doz- en lamps that are b ing in this de- mon stration. The value of this newly generated electric current will not only be a boom to the 70 per cent of the people of this country who can not secure electric current for light ing or power bu the new discovery will minimize the cost of batteries for railroad, telegraph, telephone and au- tomobile use.
 Carl Magee, vice president of the company, stated that the efficiency of this salt water current has been prov en as superior over dynamic elec- tricity for all uses. Every home can be supplied with an independent plant at a minimum cost while rail- roads, telegraph and telephone com panies find it a primary battery that will saNe them millions of dollars and give them a more satisfactory service than by the use of the dry and wet cells. For instance, the Santa Fe rail- road after giving this new primary battery test on it's track lighting, found that the same service can be secured at much lower rate than the old method of lighting, while four of these salt water batteries gives the same service that 134 of the ones now in use in their telegraph service. The saving and efficiency has also b. en proven in their car and depot lighting.
 This new salt water electric cur rent is an invention by ar Arkansan, E. c. Brice, of Mansfield Most of the material entering into the manufao- ture of the articles used in the gen. orators comes from Arkansas, while tie mineral clay cup, which plays such an important part in the battery is made of minerals that cannot be found in any part of the world but Arkansas. Associated with MT. Magee are Messrs. Cramer, Roberts and Schad. The demonstration will De held in this city for a week or ten days.

STREET RAILWAY
 DEAL CONFIRMED Citizens Light & Transit Go. Holdings Bought By Pine
 Bluff Corporation. IS SOLD FOR $3O0,O0O Transfer Will Be Made in d Few Weeks-H. R. Dennis Financed The Deal.
IS SOLD FOR S3OO,000

The street railway deal, which was reported by the Graphic some weeks ago in which the Pine Bluff Corpora tion was reported to have purchas- ed the plant of the Citizens Light and Transit Company, with it's street rail- way system, lighting plant and equipments, was confirmed here yes terday by the officials of both con- cernS.
 It was stated that the owners Of the Pine Bluff Corporation had en- tered into a contract to buy the pro- perties as soon as the various titles are approved and all minor details arranged. H. lR. Dennis, vice-presi- dent of the Pine Bluff Corporation and who is ilNerested in the Equitable Securities Company of New York, which owns and controls the light and water plant of the Pine Bluff Corporation, made the deal for his company The consideration was $300,000.
 ' l.. Fsson, an expert accountant, who has been in the city for several weeks auditing the fbooks of the Ci- tizens Light and Transit Company, made his final report to MT. Dennis yesterday and the agreement was signed shortly afterwards. It is stated that Ford, Bacon and Davis, civil engineers who built the big plant of the Pine Bluff Corpora tion here and who are regarded among the most prominent civil engineers in this country, Will be- come interested in the street railway and light and water plants here with MT. Dennis and others and that the Citizens Light and Transit Company and the Pine Bluff Corporation ~il] be consolidated and operated as once concern.
 It is understood that the new own- CTS of the street railway system VIII make Hlduy improvements, Ao' Oiii' in the service, but in the equipments. The transfer will hardly be made for several weeks, but upon taking hold of the new properties the public may expect the new owners to give them a most satisfactory service. As re- ported that experienced street rail way men will be brought here to as sume full charge of the street rail- way system.
 The Citizens Light and Transit Company contracts will be taken over by the new concern ill the merger and that other improvements in the lighting service of the Transit com pany are planned. MT. Dennis b2- lieves that the street railway system can be converted into one of the best plants in the South and much money will be spent to make V a good one. The Citizen Light and Transit Company was organized here eleven years ago with a capital stock of $200,000.

Four Men Accused of Mur- der to Be Arraigned in
 Court Monday.
JOHNS CASE FIRST
Attorneys Will Hardly Ask for Change of Venue t0 Another
 County.

A. Ethridge, Sr., of Monticello, in the Jefferson county court house in this city on November 20, 1911, following the ar guments of attorneys in the case Of the state against Ethridge, who waF on trial at that time for the alleged assassination of Albert, McVay at his home in this city on the night of July ,, 1908, will be arraigned in the Jefferson circuit court here tomor- row morning.
 Judge Grace on Friday issued an order directing Sheriff Edgar Brew ster and his deputies to search every man or woman who enters the court house during the trial and Sheriff Brewster stated yesterday that ad- ditional deputies will aid him in en- forcing the order.
 It is most likely that John M. Me
 Way will be tried first, in the event counsel for the McVays do not asK for change of venue to another county in this district It is hardly probable now that this will De asked, but it was stated several days ago that the attorneys for the McVays
 were considering such a move.
 Walkers trial will hardly be taken up at the present time, but the Me- way cases, which were set for Monday
 February 5, will be proceeded with without further delay. All of the McVays are in the county jail, no ef- fort being made to secure bail for them. Walker has been enjoying freedom for several weeks, having
 furnished a $10,O00 bond for his aD- pearance in court when called,
 The attorneys for the defense and especially those who represent John McVay are not inclined to discuss the nature of their plea, nor have they
 made known just what evidence they will rely upon to secure an acqult- tai of the defendants. It is known, however, that a plea of mot guilty will be presented as each case is called. John McVay is represented by Attorneys w. F. Coleman and J. M. Shaw, of this city, and Attorney Lewis Rhoton, of Little Rock. 1.-The other defendants will ilf all proba- bility have the same attorneys when hey are placed on trial.
 District Attorney Nixon has not divulged any of his evidence, but The state has summoned many witnesses and no few have been called by the defense. The McVay cases are at- tracting no little attention over the state and it is expected sthat- a large crowd will be present when the
 men are arraigned tomorrow morn ing before Judge Grace. k. :"
