Arrangements For Through Shipments From Eastern
 Points to Pine Bluff.
MEANS A BIC SAVING
Waterways Line VIII He Direct Aitk Railroads and Ma! it'-
 duce Rate@.

An announcement of more than or dinary importance to local business houses and shippers was made by the Chamber of Commerce yesterday to the effect that traffic arrangements had just been completed which would enable the shipment of stuff to Pine Bluff from all Ohio and Mississippi river points on a through bill of lading and at a through rate all by water. This should serve to greatly stimu late the river business and make it real competition to the extent that it will insure equitable rates from these points.
 Joseph C. Meyer, agent for the Pine Bluff and Rosedale Packet Co.,, through whose insirumentality prin- cipally patronage has been secured for the river boats, was in Memphis last week and was able to complete arrangements of a traffic nature With the Lee Line of boats which in effect is an agreement to receive freight from points above Memphis billed through Pine Bluff, a full line Of through rates being put into effect. This service will mean that stuff from Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and other points may be routed via the Lee Line to Memphis where it will be trans ferred to the Kate Adams and thense to the Steamer Lighwood for points on the Arkansas river This is a de- cided victory for Pine Bluff as it has heretofore been impossible to effect any through engagements with the Lee people.
 While it has seemed to be appreciat- ed by few people the fact is that from rate standpoint the Arkansas river is one of the greatest assets of the city of Pine Bluff and has at all times assured reasonable consideration from the makers of the railroad tar ifs. During the past season a great deal of freight was moved on the river and with this new arrangement it would seem the matter of wisdom to offer every encouragement to the river boats to assure business suffi- ciently profitable to keep them in the service. Pine Bluff will do we'll to keep the river in mind from freight standpoint.

The anti-cigarctte law passed by the le@islatuii in t@l to become et- tectiVe January l, 1908. and which has been q 'daed measure will he ri&idlg enforced in Pine RIaff after March L.
 'fhs announcement Was made yes serdaY by ] istfiot Attorney T. ilaVis Nixon when interviewed hy q report. CT. after information had been obtain ed to the effect that the iocal 0rgan- ization of the Women's Christian Temperance Union had addressed s letter to the district ttorney anl otheI court officials requesting that the laa be enforced.

 The district attorney yesterday be- gan notifying dealers in cigarettes and cigarette papers that no war rants would be issued at this time and that they would be given untl i March 15 to dispose of the stock now 1 on hand After that time the law will be rigidly enforced and any Pine Bluff merchant who violates the law will be prosecuted.
 District Attorney Nixon gave ou l the following interview concernlnf i the matter:
 NixOn's Statement. "I have every reason to believe, II 1 fact, know, that this law is bains more or less violated every day. II fact, it has never been rigidly enforc ed since it's enactment. Those engaS, ed in the traffic have been doing SC so long that they have had the i'm piled permission of the various off l cials and for that reason l shall moi have any warrants issued without 1 first giving those engaged in the sale {; of cigarettes or cigarette papers no | tice to abandon the sale thereof.
 'I am informing all persons that i they must cease to violate this ac' and shall begin it's rigid enforcement 1 on and after March 15. l am giving 1 this time because l doubt it if it Woulc be right to jump on those who have all these years been permitted to lg' nore this law without first giving them an opportunity to dispose Of the stock on hand.
 "My information is this law IS be- ing violated in all surrounding com munities and it may be that it's en forcement will only deprive the loca merchants of the profits derived from the business while the smokers VII continue their habit and obtain the articles from merchants in other cit ies.
 "But since there is law agalns' the traffic 1 believe so noble DodS as the w. c. T. U. has a right to be

WILSON'S CABINET
 OFFICIALLY NAMED 1hree New Workers, Thr e WeStorne1s and Two
 Southerners Included.
BEYAN MAY PROTEST '
HAd Opposed Mctt;oo For tns Saat Organization Men We're
 largei, Overlooked.

Washington, March 3.--'Hhe Wilson cabinet:
 Secretary of State, William J. Bry an, of Nebraska.
 Secretary of War, Lindiey Garrison. of New Jersey.
 Secretary of Navy. Joseph Daniels. of North Carolina,
 Secretary of Treasury, William G. McAdoO of New York.
 Secretary of Interior, Franklin K. Lane. of California.
 Postmaster General, Albert r. Bur leson, ot Texas.
 Secretary of Commerce, William c. Redfield, of New York
 Secretary of Agriculture, Davis s. Houston. of Missouri
 Secretary of Labor. William B. Will son. Pennsylvania.
 The foregoing cabinet, completed only this morning, was announced at the Shoreham hotel this afternoon by Joseph P. Tumulty, man high in the confidence of the president-elec and who will be personally associated with him during the next four years and who tomorrow will become sec retary to the president of the United States
 The announcement was made an hour before the arrival at the hotel of the president-elect. And when it was made william J. Bryan, whose coming to Washington has not been the brilliant success he expect ed was glooming in his apartment in the Willard with no more know ledge of the makeup of the cabinet than half the statesmen engaged ln guessing contests downstairs.
 MT. Bryan was not permitted to make the protest aganist McAdoo his friends had asked him to make. In fact. he was not invited to the pres ence of his chief at all. And as etl- ouette forbids that even a secretary of state-elect shall call upon presl- dent-elect without an invitation, Mir. Bryan was forced to finger obscurlty while MT. Wilson bathed in the lime light and bowed to the applause of the multitude assembled in Washington to do him honor.
 Organization Men Sore.
 The fact that three New Workers, McAdoo, McReynolds and Redfleld are given high places of importance has already aroused resentment among western and southern politi- cians. while organization men are ex- pressing their dismay that only three organization men. Bryan Daniels ana | McAdoo secured positions Some encouragement has been glv- en to these disgruntled citizens ln the report that the organization Will rare better in the disposal of diplomatic and other positions, but the men who are in the council of the president elect say that this is not u be.
 Wilson Enjoys Reunion.

Given Change of Venue

The sanity commission returned no verdict, six believing that Alexander was insane and the other six giving as their opinion that he was sane The case was again ordered tried but At torney Sorrells asked for a change of venue to Desha county on the ground that his client could not get fair trial in Jefferson county. This re- quest was granted and the trial set for January Is at Arkansas City. The taking of testimony and arguments consumed three days and on January Is the jury was given the case and found verdict of guilt or murder in the first degree after being. out IA minutes.
 The case was appealed to the su- preme court but the sentence of the lower court was affairmed. The date for the execution was set but as the condemned mans condition was puzzl- ing Governor Donaghey granted a brief respite. Alexander failed to show any improvement and he was again respited until June 27, 1912. The dating of the respite at 1912 in- stead of 1913 in reality set no date at all as it was past that date when it was issued. In the meantime Alex ander was placed in the penitntiary at Little Rock for safe keeping and to relieve the Jefferson county jail as it was crowded.
 Attorney w. B. Sorrells continued his efforts to have the sentence com muted, all of which were opposed by District Attorney Nixon. When Gov ernor Robinson assumed office he was urged to look into the case and if pos sible go to see Alexander which ht did and when Dr. J. L. Green, the in sanity sxpert, appeared before the governor yesterday and stated that Alexander was hopelessly insane the sentence was commuted to imprison ment of 99 years, of life.
 It is freely predicted by physicians and those who have seen Alexander lately that he will not live year.
