MAY HAVE LEO
LING IN CUSTODY
Elsie SiegePs Ghost Has Drifted Into
the Oakland Police Court.

Oakland, CAL, Oct. 24.-Elsie
Siegel's ghost has drifted into the
Oakland police court. Leon Wing, a
Chinaman, arrested with Min Yoke
Yen, his woman companion, as head
of a Chinese b]ackmail and robbery
gang, is believed to be the Chinese
student who murdered Miss Siegel,
his teacher, il a missionary school
in New York, four years ago.
The general appearance of Leon
Wing, who was arranged before
Police Judge Samuels and the SINH
larity of his name to that of the miss
ing Chinese who has been sought
from coast to coast, led the Oakland
police to believe that the man now in
custody is the long sought criminal.
Leon Wing and his companion have
been operating from Oakland to
Sacramento and five recent robber-
les in Oakland have been traced to
the gang of which the man and wom-
an are the head.

The vote shows one thing above
all others; that the people of the
county precincts have grown tired
of following Mr. Collier and that they
intend to no longer permit them
selves to be dictated to by man
who, by his action in the levying
court, shows himself to be most vim
dictive.
The City of Pine Bluff is con-
tribnting more than half of the reve-
nue. that goes into the county treas
ury and is entitled to the same con-
sderation that any other part of the
county receives.
If it is found to be advantageous
to build roads to the Free Bridge,
which Mr.. Collier in his resolution
now comedies is going to be built,
why should not the people of the
south side of the river have as good
road leading to it as those living on
the north side. If Mr.. Golfers ideas
prevail, how long will it be until he
says the good people of Barraque or
Spring or Richland or any other
township in the county shall have
mot one dollar, to help build roads
in their townships.
Mr.. Golfers spleen" and vindic-
tiveness, growing out of his many
disappointments. il his anti-Free
Bridge fight, are evidenced in his
every more. His attempts to array the
county against the city are being
resented even in his own ranks.

NO EXHIBIT At THE
ARKANSAS STATE FAIR

Secretary Spaulding. of the Cham
Der Of Commerce, yesterday an
nounced that Jefferson county would
not have an exhibit at the State Fair
in Hot Springs, owing to the scarcity
of exhibits, due to the extremely wet
weather of the past few weeks
Heretofore this county has had a
very creditabe exhibit, last year TAX
ing fourth prize in the county eN-
hibits, but the exhibits obtainable
this year, while very good, were SO
few in number as to cause Mr..
Spaulding to decide not to make any
entries at all. The space reserved
for the Jefferson county exhibit will
be released by the local representative
and will probably be given to the ex-
cellent display of the Drew county
products, which were on exhibition
here during the Stock Show.

Reply Coupons.

The man who boasts that he never
writes letters has been prodded into
epistolary activity.
1T was a curious little square red
stamp inclosed in a letter received
from England that drove me to It," he
said. 1.-THE stamp was marked three
pence. It was totally unlike any
stamp or souvenir lad ever seen,
and didn't know what use TO make OF
1t. The postman was also nonplussed,
and only at the main postofice was
the riddle solved. 1t was reply cou'
pom. English stamps would have been
no use for mailing letter in New
York, but the coupon could be ex
changed for United States stamps

WE OUGHT TO BE THERE.

Jefferson county. the best and one
of the wealthiest counties in the
state, which was awarded fourth
prize at the Arkansas State Fair in
Hot Springs, last year, will not be
represented with an exhibit at the
big exposition next month, according
to an announcement made yesterday
by Secretary H. G Spaulding, of the
Chamber of Commerce. Mr.. Spauld-
ing gives as his reason for not hav-
ing this county properly represented
there that rain during the harvest
season was unfavorable to the crops
and that no suitable agricultural dis
play can be made. Mr.. Spaulding
admits, however, that a number OF
fine specimens have been sent to him
from exhibitors at the State Fair,
but that they are not sufficient in
number to make good display.
Jefferson county ought to be rep
resented at the State Fair 1t can
get more good advertising from this
show than ten county fairs will fur
nish, because the State Fair caters
to people from all over the country
and especially over the state. while
the county fair is purely local and
does not interest outside of the limits
of a county. If the wasted energy
in the recent so-called county fair
had been used in the direction of the
State Fair, Jefferson county might
be among the leading counties at the
State Fair at Hot Springs. The wealth
er has been just as unfavorable in
other Southwest Arkansas counties
as it has in Jefferson, but Drew
county's agricultural products and
those of other counties in this Sec
ton of the state are to be we'll dis
played at the big show in Hot
Springs.

MIR. COLLIER AND HIS SPLEEN

Magistrate H. G. Hanna, of Spring
township, voiced the sentiment OF
ninety per cent of the conservative
property owners of Jefferson county
Thursday, when, at meeting OF the
Jefferson County Levying Court, he
offered motion to table T. j.
Golfers resolution, which was intro
duced a few minutes before final ad-
journment of that body.
Mr.. Golfers resolution, which call
ed upon the county judge not to
spend enc dollar on any road lead
ing to the Free Bridge from Pine
Bluff was not introduced by him
until after several of the magistrates.
whom he knew would oppose it,
got up and left the meeting, under
the impression that all of the bust
mes of the court had been disposed
of and adjournment was at hand
This method is in line with Mr.. Col
lier's conduct during his unsuccessful
campaign against the Free Bridge.
No one in the court room was
more surprised than Mr.. Collier when
the ballot showed that Magistrate
Hanna's resolution to table" had re-
ceived fifteen out Of a total OF thirty
six votes polled. Nine of the fifteen
magistrates voting to table were
from country townships and probab-
" all Of them were members Of the
Taxpayers Protective Association.

President Wilson Declares

Answers Every Demand
ISSUES
STATEMENTS
Central Bank Plan Submitted By Ma.
tiOnal City Bank President TO
Committee.

Washington, Oct. 24.-President
Wilson refused emphatically to even
consider the plan for a central bank
submitted by Frank A. Vanderlip,
of the National City Bank, of New
York, to the Senate Currency COM
mittee. The President will Stand
by the administration bill. He says
it is sound, exceflently suited to ex-
listing conditions and that it's early
passage is demanded by the business
interests.
An official statement was issued on
the subject today from the White
House. 1t said:
1WAen inquiries were made at the
White House as to what the Pres
ident's attitude was toward the pro-
posals made by Mr.. Vanderlip of the
National City Bank to the Currency
Committee Of the Senate, it was stat
ed with the expected emphasis that,
of course, the President would not
recede in any respect from the posi-
ton he had already so closely taken,
and which the whole country under
stands. He has warmly and UNI
qualifiedly endorsed all the main fea-
lures of the Gass-Owen bill.
"He regards the plan provided for
in that bill as excellently suited to
the existing conditions of the bust
ness of the county and in every es-
sential particular, found and calcu-
lated to render the business men of
the county a great and immediate
service and he believes that the early
enactment OF the bill into law is ex-
pected and demanded by the most
thoughtfT business interests. The
evidences which have reached him of
the support of the county are unmis-
taxable and overwhelming"
