CROSS MONTH BRINGS
 S6OO,OOO TO 40. U. W.
Immense Volume of Insurance Being Written by Arkansas Order at
 Low Producing Cost.

Little Rock, July 5.-The H. l.
 Cross month for the A. o. U. w.
 closed Friday, with approximately
 S600,O00 in new business written dur
 ing the preceding thirty days. It is
 record that is rarely equalled by
 even the largest of the old line com-
 panies.
 Grand Master Frazer reports that l this tremendous amount of business
 was produced at an aggregate cost
 of S4,S81.67, or at an average of $8.14 per thousand. Experience tables show that old line companies pay an average of SPAS for the production of new business. 1t is a fact that has attracted much attention among | insurance men and financiers of the city.
 There are several elements enter ing into the situation which explains this conservation of the funds of the insured. There are no exorbitant salaries paid to officers or field work CTS. No commissions are paid, but all the organizers are on salaries, and are paid commensurate with their ability, just as mercantile men are paid. Further, the solicitors has no incentive to secure memberships from poor physical risks. The utmost care IS exercised in the admission of mem bers to the order, and only the phy- sically fit are received. In conse- quence, the death rate among new members is remarkably low. Dr. J. w. John, of Pine Bluff, has been grand Medical examiner six years. During his first two years there were two deaths of persons admitted dur ing that period; during the second two years, there were five deaths, of whom three were accidental during the present two years there has been only one.
 The cooperation of the members in securing new members has also been the means of reducing the net cost of producing the business. The
 fraternal feature is emphasized strongly.
 No one who admits that he is even an occasional drinker of intoxicants is admitted to membership in the order. One man said that he drank one bottle of beer week and a
 small drink of whiskey daily, but that he was never drunk, and the medical examination showed him to be in every other way fit. But he was rejected.

ANl|S CLAIM 20
 THOUSAND SlCNERS

Little Rock, July s.-Within the next three or four days the petition referring to the people the question of repeating the statewide liquor bill, with over 10000 signatures, will be filed with the secretary of state. The promoters have over the required number, 13,550 now, and plates for the printing of the proposed act are now being made for distribution among the papers of the state after July 2, which is the last day for fil- ing.
 The promoters of the fight against the prohibition law class their eff forts as a defense of the inherent rights of the peope. They deny that they favor a return of the saloons, themselves not being supporters of license, but state that the rights of the people may be best conserved | through a fight on this masure.

WOULD INITIATE BILL
 TO CURB CREDIT STORES
Three Hundred and Forty Woodruff County Citizens Would Abolish
 Mercantile Corporations.

Little Rock, July s-A unique ap- plication of the initiative and referen- dunn law is being made by citizens of Woodruff county. Former State Sen ator Elmo CarlLee yesterday filed with the secretary of state petition con- taining 300 signatures-only 65 being required-to submit to the voters of Woodruff county proposed law "To rescind the powers of certain mercan- tile corporations in Woodruff county, Ark" The preamble reads as fol- lows:
 Whereas, the operation of corpora tions selling goods, wares and mer- chandise in Woodruff county, Ark, has become subversive to the growth, development, happiness and prosperity and general welfare of the people of said county, and
 Whereas, under conditions brought about by the operations of said corpor- ations, it has become impossible for the man who tills the soil to become, or acquire for himself and family a home, and
 Whereas, the continued existence of such corporations will more firmly establish landlordism, thereby hasten ing the overthrow of the independence of individuals and of free government which cannot longer survive when a few own the land and the many are tenants at will"
 These premises being considered the petitioners ask for the passage by the people of the following statute:
 "Be it enacted, etc, That the powers of each and every corporation en- gagged in the business of selling goods, wares and merchandise with its situs or domicile in Woodruff county, Ark. are hereby rescinded, provided, the provisions of this act are intended to apply only to corporations created pursuant to the provisions of sections S37, 838, and succeeding sections of kirby's Digest, of the statutes of the state of Arkansas, up to and including S71."
 Should this be adopted and stand the test of the courts, the charter of every mercantile company, of what ever character, in Woodruff county would be cancelled. Senator CarlI.et says that it is directed at credit con. cerns that supply farmers and by holding liens upon their crops keeI them in subjection He alleges tha the conditions especially in the north ern district of Woodruff county, hay, become intolerable.

FINE PROGRAM
FOR BENEFIT At
THE ISIS TO-DAY

A special vaudeville matinee has
been arranged for this afternoon at
3:45 at the Isis Theatre, with full
program. This has been arranged
after much effort by the Holy Name
and st. Aloysius Society, and it is to
be put on for the special benefit of the
ladies and children who wish to attend
in the afternoon to avoid the tremen-
dous gatherings that is expected at
each of the later performances.
The program will comprise Miss
Irene Palmes, Miss Della eastman,
John Frenkel and Gerald Quina, the
best of the best in Pensacola, the
cream of local talent.
John Frenkel, the phunny plum
maker, was seen down near the I'M
perial Cigar Store last evening with
his hair up in paper curis; when
questioned as to his motive, John said
that there were going to be so many
good looking ladies at the Isis this
afternoon that he wanted his hair to
be real curly, so that he would appear
especially attractive. The girls had
better keep their eyes on John.
And Gerald Quina, that dear little
matinee idol, BEAU BrummeP" has
been trying on different suits before
the mirror for week, so that he may
appear at his best today and tonight,
and keep up his reputation as lady
killer.
Gerald and Miss Della eastman will
appear together in duet from "Sari."
Both of these have solos that will
score. Miss Palmes, too, has extra
good numbers in which she appears to
advantage.
There ar very rare occasions, in
deed, when Pensacolians have the OPP
portunity of witnessing such a pro-
gram as this, in addition to the regu-
lar Triangle picture program, con-
sisting of Charles Ray in ''The De-
serter" and Fay Tincher in Laundry

TAYLOR RELEASED
On bA|LFOLLOW|NG
PROBING Of CASE

James Taylor, the white man who
stabbed and is said thereby to have
caused the death of Rube Manning,
also white, Tuesday night, was re-
leased on bond yesterday, Herbert
Caro- and B. A. Davis becoming sure
ties for the appearance of Taylor for
preliminary hearing, to occur next
Monday.
Taylor left the county jail early
yesterday with relative, and is to
show up there again on next Mon
day, when preliminary trial before
Judge w. L. johnson will be held.
Although the coroner's jury recon-
mended that he be held to the next
grand jury, Justice Johnson yesterday
made out charge of manslaughter,
which is a bailable offense. Before
that, however, all arrangements for
signing the bond were made, and no
time was lost at the county Jail after
these preliminaries we're ended.
Persons who know Taylor's dispo-
sition did not hesitate to state yes
terday that he was a peaceful man.
They said he was a hard worker, a
willing provider for his little family
and man who Stunned rather than
courted trouble. 1t was claimed that
he sought to avoid trouble with Man
ming, and that the latter brought on
himself his fate by attacking and
beating Taylor after saying openly
that he came into the woods for that
purpose. This phase of the trouble
appears not to have been made quite
clear to the coroner's jury, hence the
act of the committing magistrate in
making the offense charged against
Taylor a bailable one.

Charged with selling cigarettes to
one, of the five dozen defend
ants appeared before Judge Monroe,
in the court of record, yesterday and
pleaded guilty. A single sale of five
cents worth of cigarettes was proven
and the defendant confessed up to it.
He was fined the costs of prosecution,
which amounted to $3.50, in this
particular case, but others may go
even higher.
There are sixty cases on the docket.
In case they all plead as the defend
ant did yesterday, there will be quite
a big slice of next weeks docket in

SOLDIER CHARGED
WITH PERJURY CAL vt
DE LOCATED NOW

When a warrant charging him with
perjury was brought for service on
Sergeant Roy S. Herring, of Fort
Pickens by Deputy Marshal Cuyler
Mcmillan, it was discovered that he
was not on the reservation and his
whereabouts could not be ascertained.
A thorough search was instituted for
the man, but up to late hour he had
not been found.
The charge of perjury was pre-
ferred against Herring as result of
his testimony in the preliminary hear
ing of the soldiers from Fort Pickens.
He was originally arrested on the
charge of stealing a shotgun from the
Gulf Beach Inn, after the storm of
July 5, but upon taking the stand in
his own defense was Immediately dis
missed.
Owing to his connection with the
visit to the inn, he was later placed
on the witness stand to testify con-
corning the alleged theft of a gun by
Thilbert p Eddings. Officers of the
court stated yesterday that he testi-
fed that he had been present in Ora
hams saloon when the defendant pur-
chased the gun in question from ar
unknown party, when the records or
file at Fort Pickens showed that he
had been on night watch. On this
ground the warrant was sworn out fol
his arrest.
