 Several Places

Following an investigation by Fire Chief s. A.

Fred Krelhaus, owner and manager of the Inn saloon; c. W. Cat lett. bartender; and Forest Chase. ar employe, were arrested on charges oi arson.
 Krelhaus and Chase were released by the police last night. c. w. catlet, is being held without bond. it beina alleged by the police that keys found in the door to the saloon belonged to him
 The Inn hotel. which Is located on the second and third floors of the same building occupied by the saloon was Filled with smoke and all the oc- cupants were forced to flee to the street on account of the denseness of inc smoke. James Christopher. who was in one of the rooms facing on the Eighteenth street side. in his anxiety to escape from the building which he thought was in flames, jumped from the second story to the ground and sustained bruises about the body and face. His ankle was also badly srrained. Johns ambulance rushed the injured man to the Birmingham infirm- ary. where his wounds were dressed. At late hour this morning he was reported to be doing nicely
 ba :, rooming house will not exceed $500 The alarm was turned in by Officer Allen when he discovered the flames in the building on his rounds A bunch of keys were in the door and upor opening it the fumes of kerosene and what was thought to be signal oil was plainly noticeable, it is alleged In sev : eral spots, it is claimed, puddles of oil were found by the firemen and the fixtures were saturated with a mix ture of various oils. After the fire had been blazing for few minutes some whisky exploded. Excellent work on the part of the firemen saved the whole building from being total loss.
 Chief Middleton made the following statement:
 There Is no doubt in my mind that the saloon known as the Inn and owned by Fred Krelhaus was set on fire. We no sooner entered the building than we plainly smelled the fumes from kerosene and some other kind of r1ixed oil As soon as we eXtinguished enc flame we discovered another In some other part of the building. Ev- erything imaginable was soaked with oil: even the fixtures were saturated. am of the opinion that the oil was sprayed on the fixtures.
 q am delighted to know that no lives were lost. I am sure that in the event we had arrived on the scene just g few second later the whole building would have been enveloped in flames Nt it is I can hardly understand why the fire had not gained greater head way before we reached the scene,'
 When seen at the police station b.- an Age-Herald reporter all of the men alleged to have been implicated in the firing of the saloon denied any con nection with the fire.
 R. A. Brown and l. F. Young, repre- scnting the insurance exchange, have formally asked the commissioners to look into the case of alleged incen- diarism.

PREPARE APPEAL
 IN CAPITOL CASE

Little Rock, April 14.-The clerical force of the Arkansas supreme court is preparing the transcript in the case of George w. Caldwell ct al versus George w. Donaghey, which is to be appealed to the supreme court of the United States. This is the suit that was brought by Caldwell & Drake, original contractors of the state cap- itol, who were dismissed by the cap- itol commission. It involves a claim of $100,O00 for alleged breach of con- tract and of $150,0OO for work done and vouchers issued before their dis charge.
 The suit was originally instituted in Pulaski circuit court, December 5, 1912, and dismissed on demurrer, which was sustained by the Arkan- sas supreme court April 28, 1913. The plaintiffs have until April 28, 1915, to perfect their appeal. John W. Blackwood of Little Rock is coun- sel for Caldwell & Drake.

FOUR CANDIDATES FOR
 GOVERNOR CERTAINTJES
HODGES, BROUGH, HAYS AND CROCKETT SAID TO BE
 SURE TO RUN.

Little Rock, April 14.-While there has been considerable speculation as to the candidates for gubernatorial honors in the 1916 primary, it would be safe to name only four as certain ties, and the chances are that four will be all that will be on the ticket. Those who may be considered as cer- tainties are, Earle w. Hodges, Dr. C.. H. Brough, Geo. w. Hays and J. w.. Crockett. It is hardly probable that any of the others mentioned will get into the race, and there is possibility that it will be three cornered, and there is still a chance that there will be but two contenders at the finish. The man who would make a calcula- tion as to the identity of the two who will run it out to the finish would just now find himself very unpopular with the possible entries.
 A world of good timber has been mentioned in connection with the race, but having aspirations for the office of chief executive, and backing ones ambitions with the large sum neces- sary to make the race, and putting up with the mud singing of campaign is another thing

 Bair goes west to seek his fortune. Arriving at Gallup, a mining town, he becomes acquainted with Mike
 Reardon, a big, goodnatured pros pector. The two arrange to seek gold together. They discover the abandon

Steven meets Jackson Ives in New York, Ives has plenty of money and agrees to purchase share of the property. Friends come to Steve and ask him to join them at the New Years party, and seeking a large amount of money lying on table believe he has struck gold and implore him to accept their checks in payment for mine stock. Ives is suspected of being counterfeiter, and Secret Ser vice men are upon his trail. Just as they enter the door of his room, he places the bogus bills into an envelope and mails the package to his sweet heart. Meanwhile Mike discovers gold at the Skyrocket. The report

PARK READY FOR
 ATHLETIC EVENTS

Little Rock, April 14.-The State Athletic Association, which will hold its annual track meet in Little Rock. May l, will find in the new West End park the ideal spot for holding of such events. The quarter mile track encircling the baseball field, is as fast as possible to make it. The other events will take place just off the track where they can in no way injure the playing field. President Hastings and the members of the executive committee of the association have in spected the new park and gone into en- thusiastic interviews over it. Presi- dent Hastings expects the coming meet to be the greatest in the history of the association, and at the meeting which will be held with the meet. ar engagements will be made to have the University of Arkansas become mem- Der of the organization through a change in the constitution which will permit it. Under the present consti- tuition only colleges and high schools may compete. President Hastings eX- poets over 1000 entries in the meet on May 1.

Pacific Exposition, you will surely want to use the railroad that will per- mt you to see the most on the way. Lying between the Mississippi river and the Pacific coast is a stretch of more than two thousand miles of wonderland. All the magnificent sights of Europe do not compare in natural grandeur with the mountain heights, the canon depths, the crags and cataracts, the forest giants, the sweeps of plain and river vistas which unfold in kaleidoscope order before the eyes of the traveller between St. Louis and San Francisco, if he uses the Missouri Pacific, Denver & Rio Grande and Western Pacific.
 iae trip over these lines is abso- lutely the most picturesque from the Mississippi river to Colorado, across the Rockies and through the Sierra Nevadas to the Pacific coast This is the route of The Scenic Limited, a fast, all-steel train between St. Louis and San Francisco and the only through train between St. Louis and the Pacific coast.
 Be sure to use The Scenic Limited one way anyway. For complete de- scrlption of train and trip, call upon or write J. W. James, Agent St. Louis Iron Mountain and Southern, Conway. Ark.
