PICK five TO RUN
CLAFLIN BUSINESS
Trustees to InfuSe New
Blood in ReOrganiza-
ton of Firm.

The five trustees who will supervise
the affairs of the recognized Claflin
company for the benefit of the
creditors. it was understood yestcr-
day. will be James s. Alexander, presi-
dent of the National Bank OF Com
merce. and chairman Of the notehOld-
ers' committee: Philip Stockton, presl-
dent of the Old Colony Trust Com
pany. of Boston; Ernest A. Hammill,
president of the Corn Exchange Bank,
Of Chicago; Edwin Baker, of West.
Baker & Co., chairman of the genera.
creditors committee, and P. B. Norall'
owner of Frederick Butterfeld e. Co.,
Of this city.
These five trustees will hold the stock
of the new Mercantile Stores Corpora
ton until all the Indebtedness OF the
II. b. Clahin Company has been paid.
II is also understood that they will
select a business manager for the re-
organized concern, who will be man
of standing in the drygoods trade.
One of the first things the trustees
will do. according to well posted mer-
chant yesterday. is TO modernize the
conduct of the business of not alone
the wholesale and jobbing concern, but
Of the retail stores as well. This Will
consist in cutting out non-paying de
partments and of injecting new blood
into those remaining.
This will mean in all probability the
displacement of many men who have
served with Mr.. Clafin for years.
1t is understood that J. y. Martin
dale and Frederic A. Juilliard, the two
receivers, have paved the way for a
speedy reimbursement. From what can
be learned, the two receivers have made
an exhaustive investigation Of every
end of the business and will turn over
to the trustees recommendations which,
if carried out, will mean that an up
to-date and energetic business concern
will renlace the old one.

WOMAN, In JEALOUS
RAGE, SHOOTS GIRL,
Aunt Attacks Niece Who Stole
Affections of Her Husband,
She Saws.

As she rocked cradle last night m
an apartment at 453 West 163d IT..
Selma Straumc. nineteen years old,
was shot twice by her aunt, Mrs. Au-
gusta Rodgers, of i54 West 152d st.
The girl is in Washington Heights
Hospital with a wound in her right
temple. The first bullet went through
her hair. Mrs. Rodgers is locked up,
charged with and admitting felonious
assault.
Little more than year ago Mrs.
Rodgers sent for Selma to come to this
country. She felt secure in the af-
fections of Waldemere Rodgers, and a
child, boy seven ana mali years old,
seemed tie that would continue their
relations. Soon, however, Waldmerc's
affection for his wife began to wane,
and finally Mrs Rodgers left him, with
the understanding that she was 70 have
the custody of the boy.
Apparently she has never had physi-
cal possession of the child, for last
night father and son went down from
the apartment of Mrs. Anna Plostin,
his sister, with whom he has lived
since the separation, and there was a
quarrel at the place where the mother
has been employed as servant.
When the pair left Mrs. Rodgers fol-
lowed with a revolver. At the l63d st
house she rang the bell and the door
was opened by her son. Brushing by
him she stalked into the room where
Selma was rocking the infant child Of
Mrs. PlOstin, who is a widow Without
a word Mrs. Rodgers took the revolver
from the folds Of her dress and opened
fire. At the second shot Selms: fell
unconscious.
Two detectives soon reached the
house. Mrs. Rodgers was standing on,
the stoop waiting for them. As she
handed the revolver to them she said
that she had shot the girl who had
stolen her husband and boy. That was
all she would say as she was led to a
cell,

 Upon Every Visit.

For the first time in many years Al G. Fields Minstrels will give a matinee performance at the Elks theatre The great minstrel troupe comes to Pine Bluff on Thanksgiving day. The matinees. will begine at D. m., an hour after the football game between Pine Bluff High and Camden High begins at the Athletic field. The hour for the matinees was, arranged in order that sportlovers might SC , the football game and also the mins- trels on the same afternoon
 The advance sale already is big for both performances. The. matinee seems to have little the better of it, though this is accounted for by the fact that, it is holiday and near ly everything will he closed in, the afternoon. n~~
 Every man who has been with Fields more than a year ha1 hnnch of personal friends in Pine Bluff That is one reason why the annual visit of the troupe is received with so much enthusiasm. Nearly every year for a decade the Pine Bluff lodge of Elks has had a little "blow, out for Fields men after the show. With possihlv two or three exceptions, all are members of the B. P. o. E.

The Kaw Paving company of Tone ka. Kan, which has the contract for paving State street. has contracted with the Pine Bluff Brick company for 4,O00 barrels of Eagle Portland cement to be used on the street paving job. This quantity of cement will comprise train load of forty cars, and is one of the biggest orders for cement placed with one concern at one time. The fact that the Pine Bluff Brick company was successful in se- curing the order in competition with cement dealers in several larger cities is additional testimony to the fact that Pine Bluff is enabled to sell as low as any city. and in some cases bit be- low prices mado by dealers and man ufacturers of other towns.

FREIGHT BUREAU
 IN LONG SESSION
Discuss Employment of At torney to Handle Rate
 Case Before Commission.

|j For two hours yesterday members of the Pine Bluff Traffic league dis cussed new raight rates which are expected to go into effect next month and which will have a direct bearing upon all lines of business in all sec tions of the state.
 Much of the time of the meeting was devoted to discussion of the proposition to retain an attorney to represent the bureau before the interstate commerce commission, in the hearing on the petition recently filed in which Pine Bluff has asked to have the commission order the railroads to put into effect comblna- tion rail and water rates.
 Nothing was given out after the meeting, adjourned, Commissioner w.. M. Taylor stating that nothing dcfi- mite was done.
 "We accomplished nothing that is ready for publication" said MT. Tay- Tor. "The bureau was in session from 3 to D. m. and then adjourned to meet again Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock, when the matters will be taken up again."
 While none of the members of the bureau would make direct state ment on the matter, the impression prevails that at the meeting today the bureau will take steps to retain an attorney to look after it's interests in the rail and water rate petition, owing to the fact that the granting of the petition will mean great re- duction in freight rates on all classes of goods to and from Pine Bluff.

Planters and Supply Men 2 Cooperating in Plan to
 Secure. Diversification.

That Pine Bluffs supply men and Jefferson county's big planters are dc- termined to aid in every way in car rying cut the diversified farming propaganda, was again demonstrated yesterday, wheer a meeting of the sup ply men was held in the assembly rooms of the Chamber of Commerce, at which conditions were discussed. 'e The meeting of the supply men yes tsrday followed meeting of some of the big planters of the county in the same place Monday afternoon, and each of the meeting was most en- thusiastic.
 There was no formal action taken at either of the meetings. but it was the consensus of opinion among the men in attendance upon both that as result of the gatherings a better ides. of what can be done was obtaln- ed all around. Supply men will aid the planters and especially the ten ants in their efforts to diversity; the planters will cooperate: the acreage in cotton will be materially reduced, grain and hay crops taking up mucn of the land that is not to be planted in COttCn: more consistent checking up of results obtained will be had; and the farmers and tenants will be urged in every possible manner to raise food supplies for their own tables.
 Other meetings of this same kind are to be held from time to time, and by the opening of the planting sea son it is expected all the details will have been worked out by the indi- viduals. whereby Jefferson county will not depend so much upon cotton, but will do much more to feed her own DeOnle
