THE westerner can never look upon
piece after piece of Chinese pot
terry or porcelain decorated with
figures that appear over and over
again without wondering how to ac-
count for the man. for instance. who
is always playing a flute, or for the
man who is never seen without pair
OF castanets. One wonders, too about
the fabulous animals which appear only
in the world of the Chinese artists. The
figures with flute and castanets are two
of the group Of eight legendary beings
known as the Eight Immortals, or Pa
Hsien, belonging to the Taoist sect. Each
figure carries an emblem. and the group
begins with Han Chung lie, who holds in
his hand a fan, which he uses to revive
the spirits Of the dead. he himself being
possessor of the elixir of immortality.
He is fat man with a bare paunch. Len
Tungpei. who is next in the group, was
formerly disciple of Han Chung LIE in
the study OF alchemy, and when exposed
to a series of temptations he overcame
them all. and was invested with a sword
Of supernatural power, which sword is
now his emblem.
The figure representing poor beggar
on a staff and carrying a gourd
is that of Lee-tee Kwa, who was so
apt a student Of Taoist lore that he
was frequently sent for to celestial
spheres. Once. having to go there, he
his spirit as usual and left
his body in the care Of a friend, but
when his spirit returned it was only
to find the body gone. Then it was
that Lee-tee Kwa's spirit found refuge
in the body of lame beggar. The
figure with the castanets is Tsaon-kuo-
kin, said to be member of a noble if
not Of the imperial family. and in sign
Of his rank he wears the elaborate court
headdress and finely decorated robe.
Carrying basket of flowers and usually
holding 1t aloft is being of uncertain
sex known as Lau Tsoe-Ho. The figure
with the Taoist musical instrument
which looks like a bamboo tube is known
as Chank K,-Laou, who gained celebrity
Is master of the magic of communing
with the dead, and also as the owner Of a
wonderful white mule which carried him
hundreds of miles. and when not re-
auired was folded up like collapsible
cardboard box and put away. The flute
player is known as Han Sang Tsze, and
The last OF the group appears In the
figure of the lady who carries q long
stem lotus flower and il known as Ho
Seem Koo. BY refusing ordinary food
and partaking only Of the power OF
pearl she is said to have at
tanned Immortality.

The United States has reason to feel
cratifed that the Panama canal passed
through the earthquake of Wednesday
night without damage being done; but
the severity Of that seismic disturbance
is warning enough that the nation has
that kind of handicap to deal with in
maintaining the great inter ocean water
way. Another visitation of the same
sort might cause damage which would
cost millions of dollars TO repair and oc-
casion delay in transportation, once the
canal is in operation, that win fall heav-
lily on shippers, too. The Panama canal
is in a shaky part of the world, the
narrow neck of land being peculiarly
liable to seismic disturbances. Therefore,
the United States government may as
well recognize the probability that soon
err or later it viii be called upon to do
part of the present work over again,
following the disturbance of the crust

If That City Falls the Road To Mexico City Will Be Open Wilson
 Hopeful.

Washington, Dec. 1-Secretary of | State Bryan conferred today with William Bayard Hale, the President s special envoy on the northern bound ary of Mexico, and at once thereafter the impression was conveyed by all officials that the solution of the Mex ican troubles would be the success of the Carranza party.
 President Wilson is yet to see Mr Hale, but no time has been fixed for the conference. After meeting Mr. Hale, Secretary Bryan conferred with the Secretary of War, S2%t it was said that tn subject of the colf{erence was not Mexico, but San Domingb.
 To his callers today President Viii son had very little to say on Mexico. The distinct impression, however, was left on those who heard the President that the success of the rebel arms would be an improvement over the present conditions
 It is understood that MT. Hale has reported principally on the ability of the Carranzadists to conduct sue cessful campaign. The optimism of the officials in State, War and Navy circles today seemed to have been based on an intimation by Mr. Hale that the Carranzadists are bound to succeed
 The most important element in the success of the rebels is their cam paign against the City of Chihuahua That is the opinion of the Army off cials. If Chihuahua is taken they be- lieve the road will be open to Mexico City.
 According to dispatches today John Lind, the Presidents envoy to Mexico. has returned from Tampico to Vera Cruz. Secretary of the Navy Daniels repeated today that Admiral Fletcher had received assurances from General Agoilar, the rebel commander, that the oil interests at Tampiho and Tux pam wohld be protected.

 Action of Other Churches.
 The First Presbterian church con- gregation, at it's Sunday morning ser vice, endorsed resolution condemn ing the open saloon, but the resolu- ton did not include the expulsion clause
 It is stated, but not authoritively, that the Ohio street Baptist church will soon ake the same action as that of the First Baptist church congre- gation on Sunday.
 Inquiry yesterday failed to reveal any definite information to the effect that the Methodist churches would take official action against the sa- looms. Rev. R. R. Moore, pastor of the Lakeside Methodist church, de- clared, when questioned, that it would not be Methodism to exclude mem bers of the church.
 Rev. c. c. Cline. of the Christian church, denied the rumor that his congregation had adopted an expul- sion resolution.
 A prominent member of the First Baptist church was of the opinion esterday, in discussing the matter. that the adoption of the resolution by his congregation would result in the withdrawal of number of members, who believe they might exercise their individual opinion in such public matter. Others, it was stated, who have signed the petition will take their names from it rather than lose their membership in the church.

TWO DEAD; ONE
 SERIOUSLY SHOT Ed Grimm, Jealous Negro Murders Aged Couple and Tries To Kill His Wife THEN HE ESCAPED Wife Had Left Him and He Had
 Made Threat--lEquest
 Today.
THEN HE ESCAPED

With two dead and his wife lying in a critical condition what came near being a triple tragedy occurred yesterday afternoon on West Second avenue, in Monks addition, west of Pine Bluff, when Ed Grimm, colored, crazed by jealousy, murdered George Quinn and wife, Martha Quinn, fatherin-law and mother-in-law, and seriously %orn.d;sa ;s ! his vie, who had left him. ..sssss.
 Immediately after the tragedy which occurred at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon Grimm took to the woods. Officers were soon on the scene but the growing shadows of night prevented them from making an extensive search at that time In- formation has been sent out, however concerning the crime, and it is be- lived that he will be apprehended in the course of the next twenty four hours
  of the affair." Grimm and his wife and been separated for some time and he was intensely jealous of her. It is said that he had asked her to re- turn to him and that she refused to do so. Instead of going to him, she went to the home of her parents, where the shooting occurred. It is said that Grimm had made a threat that he would kill her and to carry out this went armed to the Quinn house.
 From rather indistinct accounts of what took place just prior to the time when Grimm turned loose with dead ly aim, it seems that he was asked not to remain there and was told that his wife would not go back to him. This, it appears, angered him greatly and he opened fire on the aged couple Quinn after being shot, staggered some fifty yards away from the house and dropped dead. His wife was kill ed in the house, almost instantly, it is said. Grimm's weapon was then aimed at his wife, but she escaped being killed, although wounded serious. During the excitement at tending the shooting and up to the time officers reached the scene there had been no effort made to secure a physician to attend her, but it was said that one would be secured as soon as possible.
 The old couple who met death at the hand of Quinn are the parents of George w. Quinn, well known negro resident of this city who con- ducts grocery at West Sixth ave- nue. Their bodies were taken to Robinson's undertaking shop, where they will be prepared for burial. An inquest will be held today over them by Coroner H. p. Williams.
 A warrant for Grimm's arrest was issued late yesterday afternoon by Magistrate l.. D. Cheek, charging murder. Grimm has been driving a wood wagon in this city for several years. A few years ago he Shot and killed another negro, but was acquit- ted in the circuit court.
 As soon as Sheriff Brewster and Constable Evan Parnell learned of| the double tragedy, they sent men to the scene. At last accounts Constable J.H. King was still pursu- ing Grimm.

 Alderman Simpson complained about so much cotton being stored on Walnut and Chestnut streets. be- tween Baraque st., and west Fourth avenue. He thought the cotton men should be forcea to move the cotton every twelve hours and if they did not comply with the order, they be made to pay the city storage tax.

 cotton from the streets every twelve hours.
 Alderman Veil said it would be inn possible at times for the cotton men to move their cotton every twelve hours, one reason being that often the congresses are congested with cotton. The city charges the cotton men a tax to do business on the streets, he said, and they ought to give them some protection. Alder man Sorrells said he would vote to store 12,OOO bales of cotton on Pine Bluff streets every twelve hours, but not to move it away. Alderman FOX expressed the same sentiment. Mayo Bloom said that the police 2
