jury. The affidavit of Mrs Miller made public today strongly corrobar ates the statements of Miss Kern.
 Burns on Job.
 Franks friends and many others are convinced that his conviction was based on prejudice, public clamor and perjured testimony. More effectively to show it to the world they have en- gagged the master detective, William J. Burns. to make personal investiga- tion of the case.
 Burns, passing through Atlanta on his way from New Orleans to New York. said to an I. x. s. representa- tive:
 'I am on the Frank case to finish. My investigation will be impartial and will be made regardless of whom it will help or hurt"
 Detective Black, branded as fram- CT by the Epps lad, said that all of the charges are lies, and that he proposes to black the eye of the next person who makes any accusations of frame up against him.
 Solicitor Dorsey was as firm, but hardly as belligerent in his denial of any improper procedure. He is charg- ed in the Epps affidavit with having said it would be 'all right" for Epps to testify at the trial as he had testi- fled at the coroner's inquest, even though the testimony was not truth full
 Frank will be arraigned before Judge Hill tomorrow for re-sentence.

SP PAULDING RESIGNS
 SECRETARYSHIP Leaves Chamber of Com merce to Go to South
 Bend, Ind.
HAS BETTER OFFER.
+. E. Bloom Is Being Boosted to Fill Vacancy by Friends and Trustees
 Seem Favorable.

Unless some other opposition may be developed within the course of the next day or so, friends of F. B. Bloom will have him definitely slated for the post of secretary of the Chamber Of Commerce, from which Secretary H. G. Spaulding resigned yesterday the resignation to take effect April l .
 A special meeting of the Board of Trustees was held yesterday at noon and at that time Secretary Spaulding announced that he had called the .>aeting of the Board to ask that his resignation be accepted, since he had been unanimously called to the sec retaryship of the Chamber of Com merce at South Bend Ind. He said the fact that it presented greater field and also a considerably larger salary than his present position pays, was an incentive from his standpoint to him accepting the newer position.
 With the acceptance of the resigna- tion there were expressions of regret on the part of those present, and at the same time there were expressions of gladness over the fact that he was bettering himself by making the change.
 Under the new order of things which have arisen with the resigna- tion it is believed that the Chamber of Commerce and the Young Mems Progressive League will be oined as one body.
 It is expected that within the course of the next few days that there will be activity as to the secre- taryship.

PANAMA TRIP IS HIGHLY INTERESTING Capt. and Mrs. $. Geisreiter. and Miss Mary
 Return.
MANY COURTESIES.
Officials Take Pleasure in Showing Pine BIuifianS All Points of
 Interest on Visit.

Captain SebastiaH Geisreiter. Mrs. Geisreiter, and the daughter, Miss Mary Geisreiter, returned yesterday from highly interesting trip to the Panama Canal Zone, and other points of interest in the tropics which they visited on their itinerary. It had been their desire and especially on the part of Captain Geisreiter to visit the great work which has been under taken by this government, and return- ing. they declared that it was we'll nigh impossible to adequately de- scribe it. In many respects. there are things of great and vital interest, and also some things which those of the United States would hardly believe possible for that country.
 Speaking enthusiastically on behalf of Capt and Mrs. Geisreiter, and for herself, Mary Geisreiter said last night in detailing some of the features of the trip:
 Joining my mother and father in Memphis we went to New Orleans, where we sailed for Havana. Natur- ally Cuba was an interes, r, spot, and especially since it is associated so greatly with the Spanish American war. Havana is a quaint, old city, and being in the Latin American sphere of this section of the world. is quite Spanish. The old wreckage of the battleship Maine has been re- moved from the harbor and that re- moves the most interesting feature Of Havana from the standpoint of the traveller.
 "From Havana we went to King ston, Jamaica, practically the lone British possession on this side of the world, and from thence. Went to Col on. on the Atlantic side of the Isth- mus of Panama.
 "One would be surprised to know that the Isthmus is really much more
 
 here in this country. It has been long since there were mosquitos and dangerous insects and the people live there now without screens. It was not excessively warm, either. The weather was neither too warm or too hot, just right for perfect en- ioyment.
 I've were shown many courtesies by the officials in the Canal Zone. Under their escort we were shown all points of interest, and 1t is en- tirely to big task to tell of the canal all at one time. At present they are engaged in the work of making the channel deeper. We went from Colon to Panama on the Pacific side of the canal. It was a grand trip, interest," ing from beginning to end and one which we will long remember.

 TO LITTLE ROCK Local Five Lose First Game to Little Rock, But Are
 Confident.
PLAY AGAIN TODAY.

 Standard.

Edwin Howell and Don Quinn starred for the visitors, but did not show the pep they have in other contests.
 Should Pine Bluff win both games scheduled for tomorrow, they will be el; ;gible to play the third game to- morrow night, and contest for the state championship, but if one of the games is lost all hopes are shattered.
 Tomorrow morning Pine Bluff will meet the Little Rock second team and in the afternoon they will battle with the Crossett five. The Pine Bluff lads are confident of winning both of the games tomorrow, morning and afternoon, and then competing for the championship tomorrow night.
 The decisions of the umpire were very unfavorable, and Unsatisfactory to both sides and much "squabbling" resulted. The state championship at present rests between Little Rock High Sch nol, Stuttgart High School and the Croesett High School. Should Pine Bluff win both games tomorrow, their chances will be equally as good.
 The line-ups follow:
 Pine Bluff-Christopher Alexander and Lyle, forwards; Howell, center; Quinn and Nichol, guards. Little and Doyle, forwards; Tillman, center; Sloan and Robinson, guards.

CARD TO VOTERS.

On account of the fact that l nave been extremely busy attending to my duties in the circuit court of LAn- coin and Desha counties, and the fur- ther fact that the grand jury of this county is now in session, l have been unable so far to do very much elec- tioneering in my campaign for re- election to the office of prosecuting attorney.
 have felt that the people would rather have me attending to their business than to neglect it in going around running for office. Just as soon, however, as the grand jury ad- journs I expect to commence making an active campaign, and will see as many of the voters as I possibly can. I appreciate very much the very flattering vote given me in June. have tried to make you an honest and efficient officer. and of course want your support for my endorse ment term.
 Very respectfully.
