 Of J. E. MADDING
Jury to Try Pine Bluff Man Secured Yesterday After
 70 Men Examined.

Little Rock, Jan. 26-After examin- ing more than 70 venircmen, the twelfth juror in the case of J. B. Mad ding of Pine Bluff was secured just before noon. The panels of tie first, second and third divisions of the cir cult courts yesterday were exhausted and eight men were accepted. Last night Sheriff w. G. Hutton was au- thorzed by Judge Lea to summon a special panel of A jurors to report at 10 o'clock this morning.
 The four remaining jurors who were impanelled this morning are: George Kinzel, dairyman of Sweet Home; Sam J. Lewis, farmer of Un- ion township; H. A. Perry, a con- tractor of Little Rock, and Lloyd Webber of Little Rock.
 The jurors selected yesterday were J. P. Koone, 8. farmer of Owen town ship; Bruce Hall, farmer of Roland i; A. G. Lewis, a farmer of Union foWn- ship; John Kaplon, farmer of Marche; Ernest Speiser. merchant of Argenta; Otto Keller of Levy, w. F. Stanley of Levy and c. A. Ensley of Little Rock.

PRISON LEAGUE MAY
 BUILD HOPE HALL
Volunteers Looking for Site for Institution in South
 west Arkansas.

The Volunteer Prison League. an organization closely affiliated with the Volunteers of America, and the head of which is Mrs Maud Balling- ton Booth, the "little mother to American prisoners" is planning to begin it's prison work in Arkansas, the first step to be the establishment of Hope Hall" at some point in South or Southwest Arkansas.
 This became known here few days ago, when Col. F. C. Feg1ey, Southern superintendent of the Vol unteers of America, and the personal representative of Mrs. Booth in the prison work of Mississippi, Louisiana and other southern states was in Pine Bluff Col. Fegley stated that he ex- pected to return to Arkansas next week. to look about for the purpose of selecting the site for Hope Hall
 The Volunteer Prison league not only makes efforts to bring about the reformation of convicts and other prisoners, but obtains employment for them upon their release, and ment looks after the material welfare of the families. Hope Hall is a place of refuge for the dependent families of prisoners, and also for the prison . CTS themselves until employment for them is found by the Volunteers. The prisoners are given every oppor- tunity to "make good" although the heads of the prison league keep in close touch with them, to afford a protection and to shield them from nersecution because of their past deeds.
 A summary of the work ac- complished by Col. Fegley's depart- ment of the prison league in 1914. in Mississippi. Louisiana and Texas, is given in the annual report, as fol- lows, as indicating the large num- Der of persons benefited by this work.
 White men received from prisons 1.093; assistance rendered 1905 fami- lies of prisoners; employment ob- tained for 403: transportation obtain ed for 5S5. The report says that of all the prisoners received into the care of the league, less than five per cent. failed to live honestly since their release, and the others have all succeeded in making their way after being given start by the league.

PREPARE FOR PLAY
 AT COUNTRY CLUB
Enthusiastic Meeting De cides that Grounds Shall
 Be Put in Shape.

Preparatons for the beginning of play at both golf and tennis were made at an enthusiastic meeting last night of the Pine Bluff Country clnb, at the assembly hall of the Chamber of Commerce. there being a large number of members in attendance.
 1t was decided 10 renew the leases CD the properties occupied by the club house. the tennis courts and the nine-hole golf course, and the several committees were instructed to get busy in the work of preparing the golf course and the tennis courts for the beginning of play, abont the md de of March. It was also decided 10 have additional lockers built in the clubhouse and to make other needed improvements and extensions.
 Optimistic talks, most of which con- tained suggestions that were adopted, were made by Messrs. Coleman Eos ter. Murphy, Can't and Mills, and it was the sense of the meeting that the approchng year bids fair to be the most successful in the history of the Organizat ion.
 The meeting decided to limit tho membership of the club to zoo, and fixed upon an assessment of S20 for the year, payable quarterly, inc first quarterly payment to be d'.e Febru- ary 1. This assessment will cover the expenses of the club for the year, it was stated, including the improve ments to be made.
 It developed during the discussion that the road to the clubhouse will be in better condition this year than it was last year, arrangements for this having been perfected by property owners in that section. Especially will the proposed paving of Cherry street improve conditions. The club will hold another meeting in March, at which action is likely to be taken in the matter of arranging for pro- fessional golf coach.

 lin Ends in Disaster.

Petrograd, Jan. 26-The naval gen eral staff today received report that on Monday a Zeppelin arshir dropped number of bombs on Lipau. The guns of the fort fired on the German airship and the Zeppelin fell into the water. The derigible was destroyed and it's crew made prisoners.
