Adelphic Literary Society Of the Mays.
vile High School Defeats the
Athenaeums In Very Ex.
citing Contest.

The Adelphic Literary Society Of the
Maysville High School defeated the
Athenaeum Society last evening in the
eighth annual contest between the two
The judges had difficult time In max
ing a decision as the two were very
close.
This is the first win of the Adelphic
Society for five years, the opposition
having carried off the hOnors during
that time. The societies were founded
in 1909 by Miss Nell Sutherland, now
Of the Ashland High School, for the
purpose Of giving the students instruc-
ton in literary work. During the first
few years each student was expected
to appear once during the year, but af-
ter the High School had grown to the
present proportions it was seen that
this could not be done. The members
of the Freshmen Glass were ex-
empted for appearing on the stage dur
ing the year, although they are men,
bers of the Societies and have full
powers Of voting in all elections.
The contest last evening was said to
BE- the best ever conducted between
the societies. Every one on the pro-
gram did his or her best and the re-
suit was very close contest.
During the Interlude, while the
judges conferred as to the winners, the
Junior Glass of the school have a lit.
tie playlet, "The Ham That Saved the
Homestead The parts were well
taken and the swetch provoked much
laughter.
With the decision Of the judges, Miss
Hilda Threlkeld, Messrs. s. F. Reed
and Clarence Mathews, the members
Of the Adelphic Society went wild
Their long string Of defeats had been
broken and their vociferous shouts
made 1t seem as II all Of the gods oil
noise had broken loose.

NEGRO SMuGGLER'S
 RUSE IS FAILURE
Sheriff Arrests Charles Taylor and Seizes 24O Pints of Whiskey,
 Brought in as Baggage.

Charles Taylor, negro. is in the lief ferson county jail. and 240 pints of whiskey he brought in from Monroe as baggage is in the vault at the sheriff's office, as the result of a little secret service work performed last night by Sheriff R. H. Williams and deputies.
 Taylor is said to have admitted visiting Monroe for the purpose of laying in stock" of booze, being. he says. able "to drink a pOWful lot O. whiskey" He purchased new trunk and three suit cases. filled them with whiskey in pint bottles and then checked the pieces as baggage to Dex- ter, hoping thus to evade the vigilance of the officials here. He had arranged to have a conveyance meet him at Dexter for the trip to Pine Bluff. He was saved this expense. however. Sheriff Williams notifying Justice of thes Peace Jim Hamilton to take the negro and the luggage" into custody. The sheriff and Deputies ]. l.. Me- Burnett and J. M. Acklin then drove to Dexter and brought Taylor and the whiskey to the city.
 Taylor was committed to jail in default of $1,0O0 bond, fixed by Jus tice of the Peace Hamilton. before whom Taylor will be tried Saturday. He is expected to plead guilty.

TRAFFIC POSTS AT
 UNION STATION

Traffic posts are being erected by the Iron Mountain company at the west end of the Union passenger sta tion in Fourth avenue, and it is in- tended they shall serve as constant reminder that it is violation of city ordinances. for vehicles of any kind to be parked in the territory ly- ing between them.
 One of the posts. will be located at the northwest corner of the side walk around the station. and the other will be at the southwest corner. It has been difficult for the officers to prevent the parking of vehicles at the west end of the main station building, and particularly have wom- en autosist been obstreperous in this regard. Tn the future, however, the ordinance is to be strictly enforced, end the traffic posts are being erect ed so drivers of vehicles of all kinds .lnay be reminded at all times of the ordinance, and hence may have no excuse to offer if. they are haled into court for violations thereof.

FIGHTING DIAMOND TRUST.

The composition of diamonds has long been known, but it has hereto fore been impossible to find a process which would bring the different ele- ments to the proper condition. The showing made by the Radium Ria monds in this city has about con- vinced the public that the process has been found, or that the Radium stones are the real thing in nature.
 Repeated tests by men knowing dia- monds, and wearing them, have as often resulted in favor of the Radium Diamonds as in favor of the higher priced stones marketed by the dia- mond trust. The result is that those favoring the diamond for jewelry are buying the Radium stones. They have the clearness, the sparkle and the general appearance of diamonds, and the only circumstance pointing to their not being diamonds is the price. As long as few dollars will buy a Radium stone and no one can tell the

FOURTH YOUTH IS HELD BY POLICE
 FOR BURGLARlES
New Hiding Places Give Up Much Additional Plunder
 of Youthful Quartette.

Clarence Foster, white, aged about 17 years, and living at sol Ohio street, was arrested shortly after noon yes terday by Detective Dick Smith of the police department, and joined Will Tippett. Dave Meeker and Curran Puckett, the quartet now being held for formal examination on several charges of burglary and grand larceny.
 The police stated that in . barn at Fosters home they found some shells, shirts, which had been hid in Fosters home. The police reported also that another batch of stolen shells had been recovered by them under the flooring in the rear of the building in West Second avenue, formerly oc- cupied by the Richelieu cafe.
 It developed yesterday that quite a number of robberies have occurred recently, which had not been report ed to the police, This development occurred when some of the goods re- covered after the arrest of the boys was identified by representativei of firms which had made no complaint previously of losses through burg lary. The Hammett Grocer company and McBryde's grocery were among this number.
 Among the plumber, were half a dozen or so flashlights and some bat tories. which were identified by Joe Durham as part of tine stuff stolen from Durham Brothers store in Main street several weeks ago. MT. Dur ham said after he identified the stuff, one of the boys said,
 "Well, guess may as well admit it. l got in through that side win dOw.'
 Most of the stuff recovered by the police has been identified, although there is still little property await ing claimant. So far. there has been no decision reached as to the formal charge to be filed against the boys, nor the number of charges that will be filed. This decision will like ly be reached today, and formal ac- tion will follow 1t once.

 RACE INQUIRY
Senator Believes if Laws Violated at Hot Springs
 Governor Will Act.

Little Rock March S.-Deeming interference by the senate as im- pertinence, 9 reflection on the good name of Arkansas, and the officials of Garland county. that body this morning refused, by a vote of 15 TO 3 to adopt a resolution introduced by Senator Garrett asking that Gov. c. H. Brough be requested to see that the state laws are not violated at the Hot Springs race. meet.
 Senator Garrett opened the fight for the resolution, stating that the reports coming from Hot Springs in- dicated there was betting being free ly indulged in, contrary to state laws, and it should be stopped. Senator Ruff spoke along the same strain.
 "I have great confidence in the gov- ernor," stated Senator Caldwell "and we. have no right to s,.;mise that he will not enforce the law. He is about as law abiding as any member of the senate. We do not know that gambl- ing is going on at the races. We have only a whiff, and the governor has had the same whisf.
 "Is the governor as big as the sen ate?" asked Senator Cabaniss, one of the leaders for the resolution.
 q expect he is bigger. though not numerically" replied Senator Cald- we'll.
 "I am glad Hot Springs has a bis crowd" continued Senator Caldwell glad we have Hot Springs, Arkan- sas. We ought to amend this reso- lution and say there is probably bet ting going on in every town ill the state and ask the governor to go chasing out after it. It is unfair and reflection on every officer ir Garland county to stand up here and say he is not doing his duty.'' The vote follows:
 Aye-Adamson, Barker, Brown Caldwell, Duty, Edmordson, Emory Goodwin, Hester, Rogers, Smead Smith, Walls, Ward. MT. President. Nay-Cabaniss, Carter, Garrett Greenhouse. Moncrief, Ruff, Slaugh teg Vann, Whitaker.
