HOLDS POLL TAX
RECEIPTS ARE LEGAL

Little Rock, April 1O.-State Au-
ditor Hogan Oliver gives it as his
opinion that the poll tax receipts be-
ing issued now are perfectly valid
The question had been raised on the
receipts issued to the women, the
statement being made that they are
probably invalid because they do not
comply with the requirements of the
new election law. The new law was
not adopted until the first week ir
November, and the result could not be
officially declared for thirty days
thereafter. Tax paying had to be
gin January l, and the blank receipts
had to be in the hands of the various
collectors before that time. DR.
Dickinson, then state auditor, couIc
not wait until the official declaration
of the passage of the law to have the
blank poll tax receipts printed. This
accounts for the fact that all receipts
now being issued bear the signature
of M. F. Dickinson, sttae. auditor, anC
no not contain age and color and 9th.
er qualifications of the voter as re-
quired by the new law. The receipts
issued to the men and women are
Identical, and if one is illegal, all are
illegal.

ALABAMA MINSTRELS
GIVE FINE SHOW,

One of the best shows that has WIS.,
tied Deming in many months was
staged at the opera house Wednesday
evening when the Alabama MINISTRIES
played return engagement The
house was fairly we'll filed. and, but
for the inclement weather, there
would probably have been a much
larger audience.
From beginning to end the show
sparkled with real comedy the work
of Watts being particularly good.
The special acts were all high class,
among those most worthy of mention
being Hi Henry Hunt, contortionist
and fire eater; Arthur Prince, juggler
and hoop roller, and Watts in his
act of smoking three cigars at once.
The show is under the management
of c. L. Erickson who takes pride in
putting on the best he can find in the
line of dark-skinned talent.-Deming

URGES ADDITIONAL
WATER EQUIPMENT
SETTLING BASIN NEEDED
City Water Pure at Present, but
Might Not be With High Water,
Says Chemist McHenry.

The presence of a trace of gas
producing bacteria discovered after
recent analysis OF the Conway
city water led Chemist M. J. Nc
Henry to offer the suggestion that
additional equipment be provided at
the pumping station for reser-
voir to be drawn upon when Cadron
creek is full and the water liable to
be polluted. The water was pure
when the analysis was made, the
bacteria not being found in sufficient
quantities to cause any alarm, but
Prof. McHenry believes that as a
safeguard settling basin should be
installed.
The question has for some time
been under consideration by the light
and water committee of the city coun-
Gil, but no plan for securing funds for
the improvement has as yet been
worked out. In addition to safe
guarding the purity of the water, a
settling basin would render the fill
tration of the supply much more &C.
onomical, by allowing most of the SOL
ids to be precipitated before the wa
ter is drawn through the filtering
plant.
Referring to the latest analysis of
city Prof. McHenry says: "This
analysis shows the city water at the
present to be in good condition.
The raw water is well supplied with
bacteria but the filter has eliminated
most of them. The presence of gas
producing bacteria in the filtered wa
ter will be noticed. However, their
mere presence is not alarming but
only their presence in quantity would
be. Also alum was detected in this
sample but in small amount.
while the water now shows pur-
ity, an analysis during recent high
waters on the Cadron would doubt
less have shown it up differently
But this is no fault of the filter OF
of the alum. Some additions
means should be added to the equip
ment so that the health of the towr
should not be endangered even TO
week or two during each year
Filtration through sand beds, or
settling basin with minimum capaci
ty of one days supply of waite
, would, l believe, solve the problem.

FEW BONt DRY
SHIPMENTS HERE

Judging from the weekly reports
filed with Circuit Clerk A. M. Led
better by the agents of the Wells
Fargo & Company Express in this
county, the "bone dry" law is work
ing as well as it's most enthusiastic
supporters could wish. The law has
now been in force nine weeks, and
during that time total of 81 gal
Ions and three quarts of alcohol
press offices in Faulkner county,
Conway and Mayfower, nine gallons
at Conway and the balance at May
flower. Shipments at Mayflower
have been reported for only two of
the nine weeks, six and one-half GAL
Ions for the week ending March A
and six and three-quarter gallons for
the week ending March IL. At Con-
way the weekly reports show ship
ments delivered as follows: Week
ending February A, none; February
II, none; February Is, two gallons
(druggist; February 25, two gal
Ions (druggist); March A, none;
March II, two gallons; March IS, one
gallon; March 25, none; April l, two
gallons (druggist).
The total quantity of alcohol re-
ceiyed at both stations during the
nine weeks, according to the reports
is not much greater than the average
receipts of whiskey and alcohol for
one day at the Conway express Office
Some of the weekly reports of the
express company are apparently in
complete, however, as some copies of
affidavits by consignees were filed
and do not appear on the list of con-
signees in the weekly reports.

THE GARRICK

Even Robert w. Chambers, the
popular author of The Girl Philip
pa, praised the manner in which
the Vitagraph company produced 1t
with dainty Anita Stewart as the
star in the title role of Philippe,
under the direction of S. Rankin
Drew.
In this production, which is the
headliner at the Garrick theatre. on
Monday and Tuesday the charac-
tiers are admirably suited to their
roles, and in every instance they
seem to be Mr.. Chambers own
brain children who have stepped
from the pages of his novel
Anita Stewart is more delightful
than ever in Philippe, and she has
created one of the most wonderful
roles ever seen on the screen, while
s. Rankin Drew foresakes his true
identity for that Of the American
artist with apparently no trouble or
effort. Anders Randolf as the ras-
cally spy; Wildresse is, as Mr..
Chambers expresses it, the character
itself. while Jules Cowles lends much
clean humOr as a servant "AsticOt."
Pauline Cdrley. too, as the nun
seems to have recently stepped from
the secluded cloister Of some far
convent.
With perfect backgrounds, typical
atmosphere, masterful direction and
characters as we'll suited to their
roles as they are in this case, 1t is
no wonder that all critics declare the
wonder film has come into being.

Ethel Barrymore, stage favorite
and star Of many Metro plays, was
born Aug. Is, 1879, in Philadelphia.
Her father was Maurice Barrymore
a celebrated actor, and her mother
George Drew Barrymore, and she IL
the niece Of John Drew, so that SUI
preme dramatic ability is her right
full heritage. Her first recorded ex-
perience on the stage was at the
Empire theater, New York, Sept. 2S,
1895, as Katherine in Henry Guy
Carleton's The Independent Young
Person, with John Drew and Maude
Adams in the cast.
Miss Barrymore became a member
of the Empire Stock company, her
first part being the small one of
serving woman in Rosemary. She
played Priscilla in Secret Service,
going to London with the company,
and English society received her
with open arms. Her beauty, &C
complishments and rare talents have
always made her a welcome guest in
the most exclusive society, both in
this country and abroad.
Miss Barrymore played in Sir
Henry Irving's company, being es-
pecially successful in Peter the
Great. In 1900 Charles Frohman
made her a star. She played Captain
links of the Horse Marines, Cousin
Kate, and Sunday, becoming i'm
mensely popular. But Miss Barry
more had high ideals. and her ap-
pearance in Carrots, Ibsen's A Dolls

SOLVE MYSTERY
OF BOMB FOUND
IN Rail YARDS
Not Planted for Destruc-
tive Purposes, Says
Agent Mcdowell
RAILROAD MEN
MANUFACTURED 1T
Was to Have Been Used In
Bank Near Lisbon In
Place of Dynamite

After three days of investigation,
Special Officer George D. Mcdowell
of the Northern Pacific, has solved
the mystery in connection with the
finding of a bomb in a pile of rub
bish near the railroad yards at Dill
worth.
Because of the large foreign popu-
lation in the railroad town by some
1T was surmised that the bomb was
planted for destructive purposes and
as a result every precaution was
taken by the railroad officials in the
strict guarding of property and
bridges.
True enough, it was a black pow
der bomb and a dangerous one," said
Special Officer Mcdowell Friday
night Railroad men had run short
Of dynamite while blasting a sand
bank near the Lisbon pits and man
ufactured the bomb. 1t was left in a
caboose which was later sent to the
yards at Dilworth for repairs.
LAS near as could learn, the car
was given cleaning and the bomb
thrown out into the rubbish pile
where It was discovered. 1t seems
that after the men had manufactured
it, they obtained enough dynamite
from some other source for their
work and carelessly forgot the ex-
plosive they had left in the caboose,
or did not know that the car was
going to the repair men,"
The bomb was equipped with a
fuse and was ready for firing.

STRAND

Miss Gail Kane, the brilliant young
Broadway favorite who is starred in
a new American Mutual photodrama,
The Upper Crust, has secured in this
remarkable production a highclass
medium for the display OF her
dramatic genius. The Strand offers
this play Monday and Tuesday.
The Upper Crust is a clcverly con-
structed play with a strong love mo-
tive and a strain of comedy running
through it, albeit the plot is full of
dramatic complications that involve
keen suspense, interest and plenty OF
thrills.
When Mrs. Van Rensselaer, Todd
advertises for a housekecper to take
charge of her new country home on
the Pacific coast and pretty Noble
O'Toole, in the person of Miss Kane,
gets the job, ii is natural enough
that young Algernon Todd becomes

villagers belief that Mollie Is Mrs.
