GRAND JURY AT LITTLE ROCK SCORES
 ;DELINQ QUENCY AND GAMBLING IN CITY

jury that the class of gamblers re- ferred to can be prevented abs0- lutely by intelligent efforts on the part of the officers whose duty 1t is to enforce the law. We find that the places such as we have investigated cannot be conducted successfully without certain ropers- in and hangers-on, who should be- come known to officers who are daily and nightly on the streets. We have returned many indict- ments, which may call public atten- tion to the system, but will in no way prevent it without constant and diligent effort on the part of the officers. We have very drastic statute directed against the owner of the property where the gambling is permitted and against officers knowingly permitting the violation of the law. We feel that the action of this grand jury should be sufficient warning to such property owners as have per- mitted gambling on their premises in the past, and earnestly hope that the succeeding grand jury may evoke that law, in event that gam bling is resumed, and return in- dictments against property owners.
 Your grand jury has put in much time and labor in investigat- ing the moral conditions both in Little Rock and Argenta. We dis covered that a system of city fines has, been. practiced in Argenta, which was only abandoned a few weeks ago, or perhaps after the grand jury commenced investiga- tion. Women of loose morals were required to pay fine of $1.25 per week The fies were collected by police officers and accounted for in bulk once or twice a month, no cases having been docketed, re- ceipts given or any record of names taken. It was simply a. matter of honor with the collecting officers, and it is very questionable indeed if all of the money ever reached the city treasury. We are assured, however, that the error of the system is appreciated and that it will not be practiced in the fu- ture. Quite a large number of the unfortunate women are now on the county farm. and while many of

 Arkansas has a pretty fine dele gation of teachers here, twenty five in all, I believe. We have ef- fected an organization and are let ting the student body know that Arkansas is on the map. I shall probably remain here for both of the summer terms; in that case, will not be back in Paragould un- til the last of August. I am de- lighted with the class of work that is being offered here and am con- vinced that the college has great future.

LITTLE ROCK DECTECTIVES RECOVER
 MONEY FILCHED BY SMOOTH ARTISTS

Little Rock, July 15.-Deputy Sheriff J. J. Hawkins returned from St. Louis yesterday, where he went few days ago to trace part of the s7.000 stolen from Louis Re- petit 10 days ago. Ralph and Louise Ricci are in jail here, charg- ed with the robbery, and will be placed on trial before Judge Lea today.
 "We knew that the couple had disposed of the money in either St. Louis or New Orleans. when we found that they did not have the amount on them that had been taken" Hawkins said. we found they left Little Rock on the night of June 23, the day they had held the conference with Repetti, and we knew that they stayed in St. Louis from 7:27 o'clock a. m., June "A, to 1:30 o'clock that afternoon. They reached New Orleans the follow ing day at 10:45 o'clock We ac- counted for their actions in New Orleans. They rented place to do light housekeeping and did some shopping, and Rison and guessed that they must have disposed of the money in St. Louis. for they

Little Rock, July 15.-The Pu- laski county grand jury filed it's final report with Judge Lea yes terday afternoon and was discharg- ed by the court. Relative to the moral atmosphere of Little Rock and Argenta, the report says:
 During the early days of the session of the grand jury we had occasion to inquire into number of delinquency cases that showed a deplorable condition of affairs, both in Little Rock and in Argenta. A number of indictments was return ed, resulting in some convictions, with other cases yet to be tried.
 "It seemed that some chauffeurs operating public automobiles were making a speciality of using their vehicles and knowledge in assist ing in carrying on a business cal culated to ruin many young girls. We found that a number of girls from 13 to 16 years of age had started on their downward career in this manner.
 During the last 10 or 15 days of our session we have devoted our time almost exclusively to gambling in Little Rock and Argenta, and were greatly surprised that many places were run practically wide open, In utter disregard of the law It would seem that the class of men who make 1t business to live off the gullible public in this manner soon communicate the fact to the remainder of their fraternity when it is discovered that the off cers have ceased their diligence and that games may be run freely. We discovered early in our investiga- tion that a number of old-time gan blers had returned to Little Rock and Argenta, as if in response ito an invitation and assurance that they could ply their old trade with out interference.
 Young men are invited in and learn their first lesson in the places where even the older and more ex- perienced are unable to obtain a fair show, as demonstrated by a number of cases that came under our observation. The games as con ducted here would seem to indicate that the honest gambler belongs to a distant past.
 Tt is the opinion of your grand

Judge Determined to Complete
 Roadway.

Marion, July 1S.-In spite of the fact that the supreme court re- gently denied Crittenden county the right to seel $325,000 worth of bonds for the purpose of building road and viaduct to the new bridge be- ing built across the Mississippi-ri CT, Judge J. B. Thompson is mak- ing every effort to build this road. He has called mass meeting, to be held at the court house in Marion on Wednesday, July 21, at 10 o'clock a. m., for the purpose of interesting the citizens and tax payers.
 The route has already been es- and Tuesday Judge Thompson sent about dozen coun- ty prisoners to the road cutting out a right-of-way. Some time during the latter part of the week the convict camp at Gilmore will be moved to Marion and 19 addi- tional prisoners will be placed on the job.

had more time there"
 The officer then related how he began to suspect that the money had been placed on deposit in a St. Louis bank by finding a slip of paper in Mrs. Ricci's purse. On one side were the figures "137S372," on the other were the figures "1219538348." It was deduced that these numbers were either the numbers of deposits the two had made or that they formed the key to some valuable information of that nature.
 He visited several banks in St. Louis. He had photographs of the Riccis and a teller identified them as photos of two persons who had been in the bank recently Num- bers on drafts were checked. It was found that one of them had the same numbers except the final figure "1" or that it was 137S37 instead of 1378371. The extra fig ure, it was guessed, was added when the number was put down by the Riccis to mislead.
 Information learned at the bank was that the two had visited the

INTEREST KEEN
 IN CHAUTAUQUA
Splendid Programs of High Class Attractions Dehghting Large
 Audiences.

The chautaqua is going to be a fixed institution in Paragould. if the public interest manifested in the exceptionally attractive and entertaining series of programs now being given here is the proper basis. upon which to form conclusions.
 There have been chautauquas and lyceum courses in Paragould before, but never has there been such a splendid collection of high class talent as has appeared before qua now in progress on the West Side school grounds.
 Opening Sunday afternoon with the Royal Hungarian Orchestras continuing Sunday evening with stirring lecture by Dr. E. J. Sias; the Shehan Concert Company Mon- day afternoon and an inspiring ad- dress on optimism Monday evening by Dr. Kerr Boyce Tupper; Tuesday dAICluOOu dA CuICA CdAHAu6 PAO6A ouN by the Detroit Male Quartette and climaxed Tuesday evening with lecture by the inimitable Granville Jones on that most interesting, re- freshing and many-sided problem, "The American Boy" it may be said in all truth that with attrac- tions so elevating and inspiring the chautaqua spirit has begun to get permanent grip upon the peo- pie of Paragould and little doubt remains that enough season tickets will be contracted for this week to insure the re-appearance of the chautauqua in this city next year.
 Yesterday afternoon and evening the Josef Konecny Concert Com pany and Hon. and Mrs. Harry Phillips were the attractions. To- day the New York City Marine Band will give concerts in the aft- ernoon and evening.

BUMPER CORN YIELD.

Little Rock, July 15.-Arkansas business men have every reason to feel optimistic over the outlook, in the opinion of E. J. Bodman, Little Rock banker and chairman of the Arkansas profitable farming cam paign committee, who recently has traversed Arkansas from one end to the other, and who is the best in- formed man in the state on busi- ness and crop conditions.
 Arkansas is assured of the greatest corn crop in its history" :" he says. Cotton has been handi- capped by the excessive rain, but as a result of recent clear, hot weather is progressing wonderful ly and bids fair to be good crop. By far the greatest grain crop in the states history has been har- vested, and the peach crop will break all records. Apples will be fair.
 "As a result of the diversified farming campaign waged through out the state last winter, practical ly every farmer will raise enough food for himself and his live stock, instead of raising only cotton and buying his food and fOodstuffs, as has been the case previously. So, even if the price of cotton is low, the farmer will have whatever he receives to spend"

Visitors from Kennett.

Clyde Oakes, cashier of the Cot ton Exchange Bank and former mayor of Kennett, accompanied by Chas. Block and Paul Balkemore, two prominent business men of Kennett, motored to Paragould this morning and spent several hours greeting friends and looking after business matters. MT. Oakes was much interested in the bitulithic street paving now being laid in Paragould. He said paving dis trict had been organized in Ken nett and that work will be started soon. The commissioners in Ken nett selected brick as the material with which to pave the streets in the district
