TO DISCUSS PLANS
FOR NEW THEATER

The trustees of the chamber of
commerce will meet in regular SEES
sion Friday at noon at the Hotel
Pines, and in all probability the most
important subject to come UP for dis
cussion will be the auditorium and
theatre that it is proposed to erect in
Pine Bluff before the opening OF the
next theatre season.
Secretary E. B. Bloom announced
yesterday that tentative plans and
blueprints have been prepared for
presentation to the trustees at the
meeting Friday, at which time the
trustees will be able to see what IS
planned and tosdiscuss the details, of
the arrangements. Mr.. Bloom stated
that the chamber Of commerce has
been delaying action in this matter
for two months or more, out of defer
ence to the wishes of private parties
who were reported to be planning the
construction OF a modern opera
house, but is now to push the propo-
sition. because NO apparent progress
has been made by the other people.
Several other important matters
are expected to be brought before the
trustees for consideration, and it is
expected also there will be several
visitors in attendance.

WILL OPERATE COKE
OVENS AT M'CURTAIN

Fort Smith, March 2S.--The mill
lion-dollar coke ovens erected by
Henry c. Prick and associates at Nc
Curtain, Okla, 40 miles west of Fort
Smith and which were never operat-
ed, have been leased by Oklahoma
capitalists who will start the ovens
Immediately. The abnormal demand
for coke, due to the war and causing
increase in the production of iron and
steel, led to the decision to lease and
operate the McCurtain plant.
The property was abandoned by
Prick, when he became identified with
the United States Steel corporation.

COUCH, SLAYER OF
WIfE'S::SiSTER.
GETS LIFE Term
Oklahoma City Jury Return
Verdict After Deliberat-
ing Night and Day.

Oklahoma City, Marcel. 2S.-John M
Couch was declared guilty of tn:
murder Of his former wife's sister
Miss Nellie M. Dunn, school
teacher, and sentenced to life impris-
onment today II jury which had
been out since yesterday afternoon.
Couch is also unde.. indictment on
charge of murder fOt the death of
Rowland d. Williams a musician,
formerly of Memphis, and is also
under suspended sentence in the fed
oral court for using tho mails to de-
fraud.
The killing of Miss Dunn and Viii.
liams occurred on January IS, AMI
was the most daring ever attempted
in Oklahoma City. Prompted by jeal-
ousy. Couch rode an automobile to the
Wheeler school where Miss Dunn
taught and after calling her from her
class room to the corridor of the
building. shot her to death. Couch,
who was divorced from his wife N
September, 1916, following his indict..
ment by grand jury for misuse OF
the mails, attempted to force his at
tentions on Miss Dunn for several
years, according to statement made
by his former wife.
Just 80 minutes elapsed from the
time Miss Dunn was slain and timH
that Williams was shot. According
to the police, Couch, after leaving the
Wheeler school, rode to the studio
Williams and met the musician and
composer as he was leaving presum-
ably for luncheon. Williams steno-
graphers in a statement made after
the killing of her employer, said she
heard the shot and the footsteps Of
the murderer who ran down the
stairs.
About three hours after the double
murder occurred in Oklahoma City,
Couch gave himself up to the fed,
eral authorities at Guthrie. Federal
officials followed every clue to locate
Couch after he was indicted, blu.
failed to take him into custody. He
was last reported at New Orleans
from where he sent telegram to hts
lodge here asking for money. Not
knowing that Couch was under Fec
eral indictment, the money was sent
to him.
Couch was indicted at Enid follow
ing complaints made 70 federal ali.
thorities, it is said, by his wife who
informed the officers Tat Couch had
threatened her life ami that of Miss
Dunn.
Wednesday, September II. Couch

ed an interurban car for Moore whera
it is charged he secured horse AMI

met Bosque Smith, a druggist, and
asked him to effect a reconciliation
with his former wife. After failing IN
his efforts again to join his former
wife, Couch, went to the Wheeler
school and shot Miss Dunn.
When COUGHS hearing was held
January %, in the district court ct
Guthrie, to determine whether he
should be turned over to the state au-
thorities to answer the murder
charges placed against him, he plead
ed guilty to the federal charge of
misuse of the mails. He then was
ordered by Federal Judge Cotteral 70

LUMBER LEGISLATION.

approach of the extra session of con-
gress, to convene at washington
April 2, Southern lumber interests
have once more begun to turn their
attention toward the passage of the
Webb bill, providing for the organi-
cation of export selling agencies,
which may be brought forward this
time as war measure, as indicated
in the presidents excoriation of the
senate filibusters in his recent state
ment. The president insists on the
necessity of this measure being en-
acted into law, not only because of
it's important bearing on the nations
present critical situation, but because
it will be indispensable adjunct to
American foreign commerce when the
war has ended in Europe.

LUMBERMEN CALLED
To ARMY SERVICE
Regiment of Foresters Will Camp
at American University.

There will soon be encamped at
American University a regiment OF
husky lumbermen recruited from prac-
tiCally all the States of the Union.
The Forest Regiment is to be COM
manded by Colonel J. A Woodruff.
now stationed in the Chief Engineers
Office of the Army in Washington.
No one in Washington has yet seen
the lumberjacks and woodsmen who
will compose the regiment, but reports
are to the effect that they are OF gi-
gigantic physical proportions some OF
them being six feet and a half in
height and Samsons in strength.
The regiment is the first of its kind
to be organized in the United States,
II is to have a strictly military or
sanization and its members will be
uniformed and armed like other units
In the United States Army.
The object Of the regiment" Col
onel Woodruff stated yesterday, lis to
furnish lumber for our troops and

beer AND Wine
URGED LOCALLY
District Liquor Dealers Start
Campaign for Light Drinks
After November |.

An effort to have Congress give the
District a law permitting the sale Of
beer and light wines after November
has bee started.
The liquor dealers have been quiet
ly circulating among their friends in
both branches OF Congress, sounding
sentiment for the proposed legislation
and a campaign to raise funds for
publicity purposes has begun with the
wholesale and retail dealers.
The passage of the food bill elimi-
Mating the manufacture of spirituous
liquors. but permitting the sale Of
beer and light wines is expected to
operate as an argument for such sale
in Washington.
None Of the officers OF the local
liquor dealers association would dis
cuss the subject yesterday, but a num-
Der OF the retail dealers admitted
they had been approached to assist
financially and with what influence
they possessed to bring about favorab BILE
action by Congress.
The operation Of the law which will
make the Capital saloonless after
November / will greatly reduce tax
revenues and bring about higher
tEfses, according to the proponents OF
the legislation. For that reason and
the fact that many stores and bull
dings now engaged in the liquor in
dustry will be thrown into the va
cant property market, they expect
substantial assistance from the real
estate dealers in the advocacy of a
beer and light wine law.
There is little prospect of Congress
considering such legislation at the
present session. War measures will
occupy the time of the various COM
mittees until adjournment and present
indications are that the District Com
mittee will not have another session
until December.
Those behind the movement expect
to have their forces lined up SO that
the matter will be given considera-
ton early in the next session and they
are optimistic as to the result even
though they realize they will meet
stubborn resistance from the Anti
Saloon League and other temperance
. forces.

ENLISTMENTS Reach
1000 A DAY AVERAGE
Regular Army Is Now 5000 Short
of War Strength.

The regular army for the past sew
eral days has been enhsting men at
the rate OF 200 a day and according
10 Colonel Read. in charge of nationaI
recruiting, is now only short 1900 of
its quota.
If men continue to volunteer at the
same rate" the colonel stated, I'VE will
get the number we started out to OBJ
tain within the next week.
Since April l. I6S,2}S men have en-
listed in the regular army alone. The
combined strength of the National
Guard and the regular army is now
more than half a million men. Thus
the regular army has been trebed
in size and the National Guard doubled
by voluntary enlistment since the dec
iaration Of war with Germany.
The government does not intend to
stop snlisting men Tor the regulars
when the 1900 is secured. A great re-
serve force to M vacancies will %
