ELECTRIC CHAIR
 FOR ARKANSAS Sheriffs' Association Will Draft Bill Recommending
 Change in Method. IS LESS EXPENSIVE Electric Chair Would Be Built at the State Prison and Condemn-
 cd Men Sent There.
IS LIE SS EXPEN SIVE

Little Rock, Ark, Dec. 3.-The passage of law to electrocute con- demned criminals in Arkansas instead of hanging them, as the presen. law prescribes, is one of the most import ant matters to be taken up at the seni-annual meeting of the Shariffs Association of Arkansas at Little Rock December g. The sheriffs are expected to pass resolution recom- mending that such a law be passed at the next session of the Legislature.
 Under the present law, criminals condemned are hanged by the sheriff in the county where the crime is committed Each county has to have condemned cell in it's jail and go to the expense of paying guards to watch over the criminal until the sen tence of the court is carried out.
 Under the proposed law, an electric chair would be built at the state peni- tentiary and the condemned cells would be located there. As soon as criminal was sentenced to be elec- trocuted, he would be sent to the state penitentiary and there await his electrocution.
  than hanging and should be the law in this state,'' said prominent of- ficial 'It would also save the coun- ty considerable expense, and would cost the state a whole lot less in proportion. At present each county has to have a condemned cell, and under the proposed law the peniten- tiary could have fewer cells and consequently not be under the total exense the counties combined are under"
 Many of the states in the United States have adopted electrocution in stead of hanging, and the newer me- thod of executing condemned crimin- als has been very successful. It is very likely a bill proposing the law in Arkansas will be introduced when the legislature meets in January.

 St. Louis Firm,

Little Rock, Dec. 3.-As a result of evidence submitted before the grand jury today in the case regarding the alleged theft of books from the state llDrray, concerning which there has been much speculation within the last few weeks Herbert DuVal, a young attorney of this city, was arrested today following an indictment charg- ing him with receiving stolen proper ty with burglary and grand larceny, the charges constituting two separate counts.
 Shortly after the indictment was returned Chief Criminal Deputy Sheriff J. J. Hawking arrested DuVal in the Southern Trust build. Bond was required in the ssum of S1 1000 in each of the two counts, and this was promptly furnished.
 The charges grew out of the loss of property at the state library, it be- ing claimed that number of books had been taken from the library. Among these were five sets of law books. It was charged that in some cases, books had been taken and sold to a St. Louis company. It was through inquiry by this concern as to the books in question that trace of the person charged with taking them was secured.
 The principal witness before the grand jury was secretary of state Earle Hodges.

TINE BLUFF ROCRESS
 ROSPERlTY
LET PINE BLUFF DO ITS DUTY


 The committee from the Chamber of Csenmelce $ now out to see wlheth CT the business men of this city want the packing plant or not. It has been put up to the merchants of the city and the success or failure of the undertaking rests with our home people.
 Judge James Gould, fiscal agent for the Pine Bluff Packing Company, has disposed of 5000 shares of stock in the big enterprise to out-of-toWn stock growers, farmers and business men who believe the opportunity is ripe for bis packing plant in this ty and who have faith in 1t as an investment At a mass meeting in this city some weeks ago five hum dred shares of stock were purchased by business men of this city and there are fifteen hundred shares yet to be disposed of by the Chamber of Commerce. The committee is now at work trying to make good the promise of the Chamber of Commerce to place 5. GOO shares in Pine Bluff. after the Packing Company disposed of 5000 sshares.
 By all means our business men should support the packing house movement. It will mean much to T. Pine Bluff and this section of the state and the good that will result from a packing plant in a business way cannot te estimated. The plans and specifications are ready and the contract for the erection of the big plant and the stock yards will be let as soon as the remaining stock is disposed of. The company has to- tai of 10000 shares of stock, but only 5000 are to be sold to insure the establishment of the plant Of that number $500 shares have al- ready been taken by investors and stock growers who are anxious to see the plant go. If out-of-town people can invest in 5000 shares of stock in an enterprise that will be ill Pine Bluff, the people of this city certainly ought to be willing to suD- scribe for the remaining 2,OO0. Unless the 1,5Q0 shares are taken here the packing house will not materlalize. s5

That does make a great diner-

and two piteous fearful eyes were
bent upon him.

nibal anxiously.
But 1t hasn't been such great
while, Hannibal; it's only that so
much has happened to you. If he
was very badly hurt 1t may have been
weeks before he could travel; and
then when he could. perhaps he went
back to that tavern to try to learn
what had become OF you. But we
may be quite certain he will never
abandon his search until he has made
every possible effort to find you.

Two New Ideas.

If you wish to give your lingerie
frock the very latest whim Of the fash
ion realm add narrow bands Of brown
fur. These bands of fur edging aoun-
ces and drapery Of the most transpa'
rent and filmy net and chiffon dresses
were one of the most marked features
of the drag race at Auteuil. 1t is one
of those curious combinations In
which the French revel, but at the
same time 1t is effective.
Another popular fancy is the scarf
of maline attached to the gown on one
shoulder and thrown around the figure
in artistic abandon. In fact maline
will be found surprisingly useful in re-
freshing slightly worn gowns, whether
used as scarf, neck ruche, sash or I'm
ishing the sleeves There Is now
waterproof maline on the market
which neither the dampness OF the
shore nor an unexpected shower car
wilt.

Der of occasions. 1t is a hat not too
dressy for very informal wear, but
which lends itself to those that re-
quire hlgh-style also. 1t is ideal for
the tourist who wants to go about
without much baggage and still be
prepared to dress for state occasions
Another very new model, in which
roses are wonderfully placed, shows
a large hemp shape with concave I'M
derbrim filled in with very large full
bloom roses. They are mounted fiat
against the underbrim, forming an en-
chanting frame for the face. The
crown is trimmed with full ruche OF
lace and that finishes the design. The
shape is made with special reference
to this method of trimming.
This is distinctly midsummer model,
that is, it is meant for summer wealth
er and is therefore not as useful as
the turban. JULIA BoTToMLEY.

of the forest that rose along the Ar
