have insisted that formal action be taken

ADULT BIBLE CLASS PARADES

One of the features of the Adult Bible Class movement has been the mems parades. Among these demon strations, during the past year, that have been brought to my knowledge are the following: In Boston, a city parade with 4,500 men in line. In Richmond, Va, with 5000 men in line In Philadelphia, Pa, in connection with the State Sunday School Conven- tion, 27,000 men in line, led by twenty eight bands. In Cleveland, O., with 13,100 men in line. In Stroudsburg, Pa, in connection with their county convention they had one-sixth of the entire voting population in line. In these parades, men of llwalks of life participated. The Pennsylvania pa rades were headed by the Honorables John Wanamaker and H. J. Heinz, two merchant princes of America.
 These demonstrations are not only helping to change the popular impress sion that the Sunday School is for women and children, but it is also helping to advertise the Sunday School cause, to put courage into the hearts of our young men and to make it easier to enlist and hold thousands upon thousands of boys. Surely we should thank God when men by the thousands do not hesitate to publicly witness their fidelity to a cause that means so much to the nation and to our homes.

HENDRIX COPS SECOND GAME FROM FORDYCf
ACQUISITION FOR BULLDOGS HOLDS VISITING LADS
 TO TWO HITS.

With the aid of eight Bulldogs, Me. Quistion, Hendrix Colleges most talked of pitcher, yesterday afternoon won fast game from Fordyce High School by the score of 6 to 2. Had it not been for one bad inning, the second, the visiting team would have been shut out. In moment of care lessness, McQuiston threw wild to first to catch Haygood. This started Fordyce's scoring, and before ths round was completed, two high school lads had counted. After this only one man reached first base.
 McQuistion pitched one of the best games of his career this afternoon. He struck out 12 men and allowed but two hits, both of which were singles. He also started the seventh

EXAMINE I25 TO
 ! CfI WHITLEY JURY |MUNN'S SLAYER ON TRIAL
OF 12 VENIREMEN OCCUPIES MORE THAN ONE AND ONE-HALF DAYS.

Des Arc, April 1.--After more than one and one-half days during which time more than 125 veniremen were examined. jury yesterday afternoon was impaneled in the case of the state against Jesse Whitley and the trial begun.
 The last juryman was accepted but 8 few minutes before attorneys for the state opened the case and placed several witnesses for examination Judge Eugene Lankford, who is hear ing the case, called and early adjourn ment of the afternoon session and an- nounced the case would be resumed al night. This is necessary in order that a large number of witnesses may be examined and the trial completed without occupying too much time of the court. It is expected that at least three days will be necessary to com plete the hearing.
 Whitley, who is charged with mur- der in connection with the killing of Wesley Mum, January 2, entered a plea of self-defense. Interest in the case is intense throughout the coun- ty, as the sensational killing on Des Ares main business throughfare is alleged to have been the result of trouble that resulted concerning a young woman

Bringing in a certificate showing the thrice altered returns from Poin- sett county. which included 529 more votes than there are white poll tax payers in the county, Clyde Going of Harrisburg placed Senator Clarke in the lead by 231, according to the off, caal hgures The total vote, including the fraudulent returns from Poinsett is 68,024 for Clarke and 67,793 for Kirby.
 As finally reported, Poinsett's vote was l,52l for Clarke and 450 for Kirby. The first official canvass of this counfy's vote showed 1,2S6 for Clarke and 615 for Kirby. When changed the first time, Going made the returns 1,621 for Clarke and 45O for Kirby. The extra 100 was Topped oil yesterday when it was seen that would not be necessary.
 That strong effort upon the part of Judge Kirby and his friends to throw out Poinsett county will be made is certain. With the county thrown out, the vote would stand Kir- by 67,34S, Clarke 66,5O3; Kirby's ma jority SAP. With the vote as original ly reported officially from Poinsett, Kirby's majority would be 164.
 The entire vote of the state will be canvassed by the State Democratic Central Committee, and an appeal to the state convention, which meets at Pine Bluff in June. will doubtless be taken by the losing side.
 Judge Kirby last night issued the following statement:
 I"To the Honest Democracy of Ar
 kansas:
 According to the official returns from all of the counties in the state. l am elected United States senator beyond and question of doubt. The original returns from Poinsett coun- ty, reported through the Gazette's s correspondent, were as follows: Clarke 1,286, Kirby 615, making a difference in favor of Senator Clarke of e71 votes. This majority, figured with other official returns, places me in the lead with a safe majority.
 Last night it was understood that one Clyde Going had reported to the rxN
 Gazette that Clarke's majority in Poinsett county, instead of being 67l, as reported by the Gazette's corre- spondent, was 1,l71, difference of 300 additional majority for Senator Clarke. When this information was received my headquarters called MT. Freeman, the Gazette's correspond ent at Harrisburg, and he stated that he was present in the convention when his figures, reported to the Ga- zette, were made. Today MT. Going came to Little Rock with some Poin- sett county politicians, among them J. c. Hooten, and have been informed that these parties showed to the Ga zette certificate giving the Going figures as follows: Clarke 1,52l, Kir- by 450, making total of 1871 votes polled in the senatorial race in Poin- sett county.
 By 9 comparison of these figures it will be noted that the total vote, over the Gazette correspondents re- port, is 70. My vote is 165 less than the official vote, as given by this cor respondent, while Senator Clarke's vote appears 235 greater than this original report, which makes differ- enee in Senator Clarke's favor, ON the
