The "drys" were confident the bill

It will be at least two years before

Sacramento, Cal, March 17-Gov-
eminent and state officials are max
ing a rigid investigation OF an alleged
plot of the unemployed of the nation,
subsidized by foreigners, to raise an
army of 100000 for the purpose of
overthrowing the government.
Plans of the plot, whcih were re-
vealed to Adjutant General B. A.
Ford of California, by spy. who ac-
companied the army of unemployed
under "General' Kelly, from Cencia
to Sacramento, have been laid before
the War department in Washington
and it is said country-wid investi-
cation has been started.
The plot as revealed by the spy, in
cluded a seizure of the arsenal at
Rock Island, with it's 100000 rifles
machine guns and other arms and am
munition.
Englis hand Canadian sympathizers
were to assist in the movement and
the plans, it is declared, and is still
the purpose in other parts of the
country.
The spy was Second Lieutenant
Franklin Grimes Of Sacramento. who
joined the unemployed army at Genie
cha, posing as one of the unemployed.
One of the officers of the Kelly
Army" told Grimes that the majority
of the rank and file did not know the
real purpose of the army in moving
on to Washington. In confidential
talk he assured the lieutenant the
kelly Army" was one of similar
movements that were starting from
various points in the United States
to concentrate in Chicago.

ings. The three RS of tex the speaker
were thus the reverence, of the up
| ward look, the reverence of the down
ward look and the reverence of the
round about look. The first kind Of
reverence was tie most primary and
elementary and is found even among
savages and the lowliest men, but in
our modern time we are beginning to
emphasize the two other kinds OF
reference. AS to the second kind,
science has taught us the mystery OF
all life and the respect we owe to all
living things, in this connection the
speaker launched into a denunciation
and he greatly embarrassed many Of
the ladies present by referring both
sarcastically and eloquently 10 the
inhumanity of adjoining ones millinery
with plumage robbed from the most
beautiful creatures Of nature. Under
the head of the third reverence he
showed how humanity is growing out
of it's narrow, village patriotism and
that we are even now beginning to
reach across national bounds and that
we are even now beginning to place
our common humanity above imagl-
nary dividing lines. To illustrate all
these points he brought some beauti-
full anecdotes from the lives OF
Lincoln, Darwin and from American
history, making his illustrations both
pathetic and humorous.
His closing remarks dealt with the
absurdty and inhumanity of war as
a method of settling disputes between
nations calling themselves civilized.
This part of his address was perhaps
the most eloquent of all and deeply
stirred the hearts of all who heard
him.
The pleasure of the audience was
married by the realization of the fact
that a great intellectual feat had been
enjoyed by SO small a proportion OF
the Intelligent. element of Pine Bluff.

MRS. ELIZA GOELET IS
GRANTED A Divorce
CHARGED CRUELTY, GROSS MIS-.
BEHAVIOR AND WTCkEDNESS
IN DECREE.
Youngest Son to Remain With Mother

Newport, R. l., March 17.-Mrs.
ELIZA Goelet, who brought suit in the
Superior Court against her husband,
Robert Goelet, charging extreme cruel
ty, gross misbehavior and wickedness
in violation of the marriage coven-
ant, was granted divorce tonight.
Mr.. Goelet was represented by Col.
William Payne Sheffield of Newport.
The decision by Justice Barrels was
made on the following:
"The testimony shows continuous
use OF insulting, vulgar and abusive
language by Goelet toward his wife,
accompanied by numerous petty acts
merely calculated to annoy and en-
barrass her, and accomplishing this
result. The effect has been, accord
ing to the testimony, serious impair
ment of her health, and the conditions
fully warrant the court in granting
this divorce"
The eldest son, Ogden Goelet, will
remain in joint possession of his par
ents through a mutual agreement be-
tween Mr.. and Mrs. Goelet. Their
youngest son, Peter through similar
| arrangement, remains with his moth
err until he reaches six years of age
when his parents will have his Gus
tody jointly.
Mrs. Goelet stated she left her hus
band on January 81, 1914, because
of his conduct toward her.

Sad news was received in Pine
Bluff last night from San Antonio,
Texas, to the effect that Monsignor J.
NJ. Lucey, vicar general of the Diocese
Of Little Rock, for the past 40 years
pastor of st. Joseph's Catholic church
and the best known resident of this
city, is very low. His condition is
such that he is not expected to SUR
vive more than day, according to
telegraphic reports
1t had been known that Father
Lucey was ill and that he had left the
city in hope OF securing a rest. The
venerable churchman, although near
ly SO years of age. has been actively
up to a few weeks ago working for
the betterment and upbuilding of
Pine Bluff.
known men in the state and was al
ways energetic in his work, both as
a Catholic and as a citizen and his
influence in the good of the state will
be, missed should he pass away.
Father Lucey was the author of sew
eral books pertaining to his faith
books of explanation of the Catholic
religion which carried a great deal of
learning. He was for years chaplain
of the Confederate veterans of this
state and has for the past 40 years
been resident of this city,. He was
born in Brooklyn and came to Arkan-
sas when two years of age.
1t was through the untiring efforts
of Father Lucey that the building of
the new Catholic church was COM
menced, and when completed will
stand as a memorial to this great
good man.

lyn, but there was no gambling in
connection with buildings in which
saloons were operating. A raid was
made, it is true, and the men,. for
whom l acted as counsel on my ad-
vice plead guilty to allowing gaming
and paid fines. Then Prosecuting
Attorney Nixon filed an information
against Kirby & Company and Joslyn
and Jack White for permitting gamb-
ling to be carried on in a building
they had leased. 1t was by my adj
vice that they plead guilty and paid
fines.
AS the statements purporting to
come from Judge Harvey are not
true in any sense of the word, nor do
believe Judge Harvey made the
statements accredited to him. I have
never attempted to deceive anyone
nor will l do so in this campaign.
Such statements as the above as by
Mr.. Parham could only emanate from
man who knows he is defeated.
I shall give later more detailed
statement Of facts as mentioned in his

shall address the citizens of Pine

NOTED LECTURER
DELIVERS LECTURE
Frof. Jenkins Lloyd Jones
Speaks at Jewish
Temple.
AUDIENCE IS SMALL,
speaker Takes Up Interesting Phases
"i His Subject and Gives MANY
Helpful and Beneficial Details.

hefore an audience which did not
90 credit to the city by any means,
Hro1. Jenkin Lloyd Jones, of the Uni
Verslty OF Chicago, author, platform
speaker, traveller and distinguished
man OF letters, last night delivered a
lecture at the Temple.
Prof. Jones spoke on the subject of
The Three RI. Instead of taking
the old method Of referring to these
rs" he substituted reverence in
three forms instead.
The lecturer began by referring to
himself as a graduate of the log
school where the system of education
was based upon the d-fashioned
Three S" Readin' Ritin', and Rithme-
tic. He said he did not intend to
make light of the old ideals, but he
proposed to discuss the newer ones.
Some of the new theories and fads
were, he said, not SO new after all.
A number of them went back even as
far as Plato. But he proposed to be-
gin about a hundred years ago by re-
ferring to Goethe's celebrated peda-
gogcal novel "Wilhelm Meister."
BY number of illusions to this he
showed how it anticipated some OF
the most modern theories CT educa-
ton. so far as the old-fashloned
three RS" are concerned, however,
the experience shows that proficiency
in these branches of learning are
made use of for evil as we'll as good
purposes. The forger for example
uses the art of writing equally with
the honest man, the embezzler can
make good use of the multiplication
table and SO forth. The criminal
prisons and institutions are filled
with men who have had so-called
higher education, but what the world
needs is better education.
In the story already referred to there
was pictured unique school with a
unique system of education, the prin-
cipal object which is to educate the
heart and to develop the human
sympathies. One way of doing this
is as follows:
On occasion Of special significance
or in the presence of distinguished
and aged visitor, the youngest
children are taught to sit for few
moments with their hands folded and
their eyes rasied reverently upward
in order to teach them the mystery
and soblimity of the higher things Of
this universe. In the next grade the
children were taught to remain silent
for a few moments with their eyes
cast downward in order to impress
nnon them the mystery and spblimltS
of the lowly things of the world. II
the highest grade the children were
made to stand upright and turn theil
heads from side to side casting rev
erent glances at those about them
from which they learned the history
and sublimity Of their own surround
