UNVEILS MYSTERY OF
CONSTANTINE ARCH

A. l. rockingham, writing in the Janu-
airy Century, contends that the Arch OF
Constantine, instead OF belonging to Con-
stantine's period, was erected long before
by Domitian, and later dedicated to Con-
stantine. Part of his argument Is con
tanned in the inscription:

tino Maxine ~,
PQo) F(elic) Augusta S(enatus) P(opu-
lus) q(ue) R(omanus)
Quod instinctu divinitatis menis

Mr., Nottingham. would be-: -.
"Inasmuch as by his divine power and
the greatness of his spirit he has, with the
help of his army. Justly avenged the re-
public of the tyrant (Maxentius) and his
people, do dedicate herewith to the EN-
peror Constantine the Great this arch, ia
nous for It's triumphs."
IT is curious that Latinists n archaic

can find no equivalent on any arch. They

ter of fact that no triumphal arch could
nave been built to Constantine Is a thing
that ought to have been evident to any
scholar, because It would have been fun
damentally opposed to the Roman law and
custom governing the erection of such
arches. No triumph could be decreed by
the senate n people except for victories
over a foreign foe and for additions to Ro-
man territory. Constantine had been vic
torious only over domestic foes, and had
added no territory. He was never voted
a triumph, and no triumphal arch could
nave been built to him. But the senate
could rededicate In his honor an arch al
ready built in honor Of another emperor,
whose memory had afterward been
damned and his arch undedicated and
made into a triumphal free-lance. This is
what actually occurred.

one of the delegates named.
 A proposition was received by the Chamber of Commerce from J. J. Har- mon, of Muskogee, Oklahoma, in which he wants to establish steam boat service in the Arkansas river out of this port He is anxious to send the city of Muskogee here for the Arkansas river trade The boat is is 135 by 2S feet and has capacity of 15O tons, ill addition to a barge capacity of 12O tons. The matter was referred to the river and rail committee for action.
 Secretary Ehrenberger, of the local Y. M. c. A.; MT. Moore, of the Arkan- sas Bureau of Immigration; and Charles Wesley Warren, of Detroit, Michigan, addressed the Chamber of Commerce, and Meyer Solmson, who recently represented that body at the National Good Roads Congress in Washington, D C., made a report of the sessions.
 The Chamber of Commerce subscrib- ed for membership in the Immigra- tion Bureau and endorsed the meth ods to be used by the organization in advertising Arkansas and it's re- sources. Mir. Warren, who says he is an inventor, proved to be a vaudeville performer before. he finished his speech. He never made clear his proposition to the trustees, but ex- hibited a pen, pencil and some too+h picks, which he said could be manL- factured here. He said he has trav- eled many states, but he did not name them. He sarcastically criticised the business men of Pine Bluff and prov ed himself to be very poor speaker before he finally concluded. His ap- pearance really created more amuse- ment than interest

MASKERS PULL OFF
 AN AMUSING STUNT
LOtns COtilliOn Members Have Some
 Fun With Downtown Spectators Thursday Night.

Excitement reigned supreme for a short time on Main Street Thursday night, when many business people and passersby were alarmed by sec ing convict, dressed in the custo- mary striped garb, being chased down the main throughfare by brass buttoned "cop.' Many joined in the chase and the convict" would have probably been stoned and mobbed had he not revealed his idenity.
 Many cXclamations of disappoint- ment were heard, however, when it was learned that the convict" was only James Goree and the cop was Ragland Fitzhugh, both on their way to the mask ball given by the Lotus Cotillion Club.
 To add to the realism of the scene the young men secured the services of the patrol wagon of the local police department and while driving peacefully along West Second avenue, the convict" attempted to make his escape. He knocked off the helmet of the "coo' jumped to the ground and the chase began. Down West Second avenue to Main street, the young men ran, both yelling to the top of their voices, and many people were frightened severely. Several attempted to stop the escape, but the convict" continued on his mad run, until he reached Fourth avenue where he had to top and explain to keep the large crowd of people who had joined the chase from mobbing him.
 The 'acop'' camly collared his pris- oner and together they went on to the ball. leaving quite few "sheepish- looking" spectators.

{|!!||kE ||||iil|| VETERANS TO BE WELL ENTERTAINED Chattanooga to Raise Large Sum of Money for Confed-
 crate Reunion Fund. FIRST MEETING HELD Official Program Not Yet Completed-
 Expect Big Attend s-@ ance.
FIRST MEETING HELD

Chattanooga, Tenn, March 2S.- Chattanooga has decided to raise from $50, 900 to $75,00O for entertainment of the reunion of confederate veter- ans to be held here May 27-29. Com mittees are at work securing cash and subscriptions from the business men and concerns of the city and com munity. The fund will be secured without delay
 Since the formal organization near ly two months ago, the reunion work has been pushed with energy by thirty committees. The camp for the veterans has been selected and nam ed. It will be in Jackson Park, a splendid location near the business section of the city. The camp can be reached by three street car lines, all of which will operate special schedules to accommodate the veter- ans It is planned to have streat car pass the camp every minute.
 The camp has been named Camp Stewart in honor of the late Gen. A. F. Stewart, the renowned confederate chieftain. Tents and cots to the nuin- Der of 1,400 and 10000 respectively have been secured from the Unites States war department for the camp.
 The United Confederate Veterans Reunion association of Chattanoosa has been incorporated under the laws of Tennessee to handle the reunion work An executive committee was appointed under the authority of the association to direct all of it's busi- ness. w. E. Brock, a local manufac- turer, was appointed chairman of this committee; z. c. Patten, Jr.,N is vi.e chairman, T. R. Preston, treasurer, and James F. Finlay, secretary. The executive committee appointed thirty sub-committees to assist in the work.
 The official program of the reunion mas not as yet been completed. It will provide, however, for the GUS tomary parades, social functions and other entertainments.
 The first general mass meeting to, hear reports from the various com mittees was held in the auditorium Of the Chamber of Commerce Monday, March IF. This meeting was large ly attended and much enthusiasm prevailed.

 SCHOOL CONVENTION

April 15, 16 and IT. the sessions being held in the Presbyterian church and the chapel of the Arkansas College. D. w. Richey and c. A. Hing, of this city, are district and county presi- dents, and it is thought that about 30 delegates from the city will attend the meeting. The principal convention speakers will be John l..

erans and one of the veterans of the Civil War. The question was not H. nally settled, however, at the mass meeting.
 A camp of Sons of Confederate Vet erans was recently organized here
 with more than 200 members. Col. Nathan Bedford Forrest, of Memphis
 was present at the organization, lead ing the work. The camp was named
 in honor of Rev. Johnathan w. Bach
 man, a beloved pastor, and ex-con- federate of Chattanooga. T. c. Thomp-
 son, mayor of this city, was elected
 commander of the camp. This camp
 is most active in the reunion work.
 All who may be interested in the
 coming reunion of the confederate
 veterans are assured that Chattanooga
 will discharge every obligation that
 was shouldered when the veterans
 were asked to come here for their re-
 union, last year at Macon. An at tendance of from 100000 to 130,00O is expected, and Chattanooga will entertain it.
 Every possible effort is being made to arrange for the comfort and amuse
 ment of the veterans and other yisi-
 tors while here-especially the veter- ans, for all realize that the veterans are of first importance in whatever the citizens of Chattanooga do. For the care of any veterans who
 may be stricken with any form of ill., ness while in camp, on downtown streets, or at any of the points of in terest, a chain of temporary hospitals 1 is being arranged for. There will be 1 thirteen of these. Scores of physic- | ians and nurses will be on hand, | their time being divided so that every l branch hospital will have sufficient l force at all times. A number of con- 1 fort stations will be scattered over | the city.
 Aside from the events which are connected with the reunion itself, such as are held in every city where the reunion goes, a special committee $ l working up a series of amusements.
 Among these iwll be very fine spec l tacular display, the familiar story of i The Pied Piper of Hamlin," acted ] by from 1,500 to 2,500 persons, most l ly children, at Warner Park, the city s l 43 acre playground. There will be flights in the air once or twice a day 1 by some skilled aviator. These and | other events will make a program for spare moments, and the principal fea- lures will be held close to the vet eiaAs canfp.

DAYTON DISPATCHES
 RECEIVED HERE
w. H. Beaver Hears From His Rela- tiyeS and Message Comes For
 Mrs. Harry Veil.

All safe. Will write as soon as possible was the substance of a . telegram received yesterday by w. H. Denver, of the Southern Grocery # Company, from his relatives in Day ,ston, Ohio, who are refugees from the flood.
 @ The newspaper reports concerning the depths of the water in the streets of Dayton are greatly exaggerated in the opinion of Mr. Denver and he be- slieyes that if they were true there \ would not be single dry spot in ', Ns,,Dayton.
 X, ."rhe greater portion of the city" s ssaid MT. Denver yesterday "is as Thigh as the river bank and it takes about 22 feet to get over the river Sbank, so l do not believe that the a*Water is so deep in the streets of sDayton as the reports say. My father, mother, sister and brother are living sout in town on a high spot and l am not worrying much about their their safety now that l have heard iYfrom them. They, however, are not able to get dolSn to the central dis trict of the city l am sure. as the telegram l received was not sent from the main office but from sub urban station. It was also telephoned to- that station, and 1 do not think ! that my people are able to get to this station either
 ''I am expecting a long letter from them soon and I do not believe that they are in any great, danger I be- reach here it will be seen that the water was only about ten feet deep in the vicinity of Third and Main streets"
 Mrs. Harry Veil, No. S21 West Third avenue, whose relatives live at No. 570 West Third street in, Dayton, heard. from the flooded city yes terday after several telegrams have been sent them. Practically all of Mrs Wells immediate relatives live in Dayton her father and mother s living on West Third avenue, which is known to be in the flooded district. MT. Well stated yesterday that he telegram was to the effect that the relatives of Mrs. Veil are all well and safe.
 Word was received yesterday by T. E. Snyder of the NimmonS Head ing Factory from his relatives at Miamiburg, Ohio, ten miles from Day ton, stating that they are now inn prisoned in the second story of their home, with the water only six in- ches from them. All were safe, however. A,iSH
