II Convicts Got Away in April.

Little Rock, Ark, May 10 =
Since Governor J. NJ. Futrell
has put an end to the wholesale
pardon of convicts and has thus
dimmed the hope of freedom
through executive clemency in
the breasts of Arkansas con-
victs, the prisoners apparently
have taken the situation into
their own hands and refuse to
pay the penalty for their crimes.
The March and April reports
of the Board of Penitentiary
! Commissioners, filed yesterday
with Governor Futrell, show
that, whereas, in March 81 con-
victs were pardoned and only 6
escaped, in April only l was par
doned and II escaped. These
escapes include dashes for liber-
! ty made at the penitentiary and
at the state farm.
At the close of April the latest
report shows there were 692
convicts in the penitentiary. OF
this number 1872 were white
males, 482 negro males and Is
negro females.
The March report shows that
/ 755 cOnvicts were received and
AZ were released. The releases
were: By death, l, by pardon,
81, by escape, 6, by transfer to
the reform school, 4, by transfer
to the State Hospital for Ner-
vous diseases, l, and expiration
of sentence, 4.

Civic Improvement.

NeWS-oclmltar, an article on
Cleanup Day in Memphis.
Villages, towns and cities else
where find it necessary to inau-
gurate special celan-up brigades.
They prove, too, that where
there is a determined effort on
the part of the citizens, salts
factory results follow. Nav
Newport emulate the example
Of her sister towns.
"Actuated by spirit Of civic
pride, and in accordance with an
appeal by Mayor Crump, Mem
phis, officially arrayed in ging-
ham apron and armed with
brush and rake, began a deter
mined effort on Thursday to
rid the city Of rubbish. Hun
dreds of school children whose
support in the cleanup move
ment was enlisted through cir
cular letters sent to each school
by Superintendent Wolfe, were
active advocates. Back yards,
alleys and out-of- the-way places
were relieved Of filth by city
garbage collectors. AS re-
suit the Bluff City shines be-
meath a cloak that is practically
spotless.
"All day inspectors under the
jurisdiction of the health de-
partment, were kept on the jump
overseeing the cleanup crusade.
Dirt and waste material that for
weeks had escaped the eye, was
piled up and then removed
to the city crematories,
"a unique method of renova-
ton was conducted by the school
children. When pupils arrived
at their respective schools
Thursday morning, each carried
a bundle of one OR more empty
cans. The receptacles had been
picked up around the pupils
homes as an individual contribu-
ton to a tin can gathering con-
test had been arranged as a
feature of the crusade. Big
cans and little, old cans and
new-from every quarter Of the
city the evidence of youthful
activity deposited at each school
building soon reached enormous
proportions.
ITO make the can contest spir-
tied, the city agreed to give the
school collecting the largest
number of cans a certificate Of
honor. AS a result every school
in the city made an early bid for
the coveted prize.
"A committee of school chill
dren, at the conclusion of the
days studies, was to count the
can contributions by school, and
turn in a report to Superintend-
ent Wolfe. Arrangements had
been made with Superintend-
ent Pierotti, of the street clean
ing department, to gather the
cans in garbage wagons.
"'All of our wagons are busy
gathering rubbish collected by
citizens all over the city, said
the superintendent Thursday
morning. Indications are that
we would have our hands full
with this job, but when we get
through Memphis will be clean

A very small audience greeted
Miss Reichardt, but the interest
and enthusiasm Of those present
was sufficient to partially atone
for the scarcity in numbers. The
program of the evening was OPP
ened by an orchestral selection
and between other numbers the
music furnished by the Newport
Theatre orchestra was thorough
ly enjoyed by all. Miss Birdie
Marion, whose voice is ever pop
ular in her home city, also con-
tributed a solo.
Judge Boyce, president Of the
Board Of Education, was the first
speaker, rendering to the dis
trict an account Of the steward
ship Of the present board in the
sale of bonds, the employment
of an architect, the letting of
contract, the construction and
furnishing Of the new high
