Editor The Star. The execution
OF Rev. Richeson last night brings
up again the old question OF wheth-
err capital punishment Is right or
not. There are those who say that
no matter how great the crime, man
should not take the life OF man in
the name OF Justice. or course, it

REV. KELLY ACCEPTS
 CALL TO THIS CITY
WILL SUCCEED REV. OTTO WHIT. TINGTON AT OHIO BAPTIST CHURCH WHO REGENT
 J.Y RESIGNED.
Was Formerly Pastor of the First Baptist Church of BentOn-
 Others Wanted Him.

Re-. R. E. Kelly, of Knoxville, Ark, who was extended a call by the members of the Ohio Street Baptist church on October g, yesterday by lette' accepted the call and notified the congregation that he would arrive in Pine Bluff next Tuesday, october 29, and actively assume his duties on the tirsF Sunday in November.
 Rev. Kelly is one of the best known min sters in the state and was for a number of years pastor of the First Baptist church in Benton. Members of the local congregation consider themselves lucky in engaging Rev. Kelly as several other churches were bidding for his services.
 The Ohio Street Baptist church has been without a pastor since July when Rev. Otto Wilmington accepted a call from the First church at Con- way. The church has one of the largest congregations in the city.

LOCAL GREEKS
 GO TO WAR
Two Will Leave Tonight and One IF thee M0rning-All Disposed of
 Interest in Order to Go.

John LaZoss, Greek, who for the past two years has been conducting the Pine Bluff Booming House on East Third avenuex has sold that business and Sunday rhorning will go to Little Rock and join fourteen other members of his race and begin his long trip to the fatherland to enlist in the Creek army and fight against the Turks.
 Lazoss said last night that two other Greeks. Jim Pascal and Harry bala- banas have made all preparations to depart for the front and will leave tonight, going over the Cotton Belt by way of Memphis to New York. Pascal owns an interest in the Temple Fruit Company, East Fourth aenue. He has left his business in charge of his brother. Balahanas is part owner of the "Dairy Lunch on East Fourth avenue. He, too, will turn over the business to his brother, while he goes to fight the hated Turk.
 Some time ago eleven Pine Bluft Greeks sent a message to the Greek minister at Washington stating they were ready if they were needed.
 Charlie Pulletts, one of the proprle- tors of the Richelieu Cafe, has offer ed for sale his interest in the res taurant in order to return to Greece and enter the army. Pulletts has seY- eral brothers here but they are no' enough to carry on the business anu and at present it is almost lmposslnle to hire a Greek as all those who can have departed for the front.

lieves the people of Arkansas will see to t that their representatives in the. legislature make proper provi- sions for it's maintenance in the fu ture. It is proposed to install in the historic old structure comprehen- sive eXh bit of the States resources, and this work is now under way. The best of the exhibits at the State Fair are to be placed in the representa- tives' hall as soon as the fair closes this fall. This will show our apples and peaches, our corn and grain, our rice and our cotton, as we'll as our minerals and timbers. The United States government is now using portion of the old building in the Boys Corn Club and farm demonstra- tion work. The Arkansas Humane Society has an eff ce. iii the building. The University law. school and the Medical department of the University are also using rooms which other- wise would be vacant. They have each fitted up their rooms at their own expense, repa nted, reearpeted and Hepapered. This will help to i'm press the fact that the building can be useful as we'll as ornamental The State Museum Association has com pletely Cverhauled and modernized two large rooms at it's own expense. and is endeavoring to gather a col lection of historic relice and docu- ments, of which it has an elegant start. It is not working against any other similar movement, but merely wants to help and at the same time keeping in mind it's enc ain objec! and purpose-the preservation of the old capitol.
 The men of Arkansss are helping, but after all it is the women of the State who are not going to allow the building to be sold It has been stated that, if t were sold at public auction under favorable conditions. the purchase of sale price would amount if divided up equally to about two cents for each person in Arkan- sas. The women of the State will not insls, on thesr postage share of the proceeds, but rather will join hands with the patriotic men and save the building and grounds from the aut- tioneer's hammer.

The Strange Mystery Picture.

An unusual attraction will be the world famous mystery minting, "The Shadow of the Cross, which has been exhibited in all the principal cities of the United States. The history of this painting is most strange and inex- plicable It was painted by Henry Hammond Ahld, who started to paint a full-length figure of Christ. En- terine his study one night he was as- founded to see a luminous cross be- hind the figure. As he had painted no cross he thought it was a shadow cast by the moon shining through a latticed window, but this was disprov- ed. He was so impressed with the mystery of it that he never finished the picture. An analysis of the paints used shows them not to possess any luminous quality to account for the luminosity of the cross and it remains mystery Some see in it the super natural, others account for it by an accidental assemblage of colorings producing an unlocked for effect, but | it remains unexplained. The paint l ing attracted much attention at the Louisiana Exposition ill St. Louis, where it is said to have ben seen by more people thany any other single l exhibit.
 This painting will be exhibited at 1 the Fair in the brick building located on the corner of Main street and Mar tin avenue.
