CONSIDER APPEAL
 FOR MRS. STOKES

St. Paul, Minn, May 12.-The ap- peal of Mrs. Rose Pastor Stokes of New York, from her conviction under the espionage act at Kansas City in 1918, was taken under advisement to- day by Judges Walter II. Sarborn, of St. Paul; John E. Garland, of Wash ihgton, and Kimbrough Stone, of Kan sas City
 District Attorney Francis M. Will son-pf Kansas City, opposing the ap- peal for the government, maintained that Judge A. S. Van Valkenburgh had $been fair during the trial, and portrayed Mrs. Stokes as one who "did all she could to encourage dis loyalty"
 Counsel for Mrs. Stokes, Seymour Stedman, of Chicago, asserted that Judge Van Valkenburgh had erred in admitting testimony of P. S. Dee, a newspaper man, who interviewed Mrs. Stokes on the occasion of her ar raignment, contending this interview had nothing to do with the letter to the Kansas City Star, on which the indictment was based.
 Mrs. Stokes was sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary and fined $l0O.

.ELKS PLAN BIG
 ENTERTAINMENT
 TO HONOR WIVES
Affair June 4th Will Be Notable Event in City
 Society.

An elaborate entertainment by the members of the Elks lodge to be giv- en June 4, in honor of the wives of Elks, is being planned, some of the details being worked out at a meet ing last night. At a meeting some months ago, the members of the club voted to revive interest among the Elks in social entertainments, and the affair June 4, will be the first. No more functions are then aplanned until the fall and winter months, when an elaborate social event will be giv- en every month.
 Troubadours, a musical organization, internationally known, consisting of 5 musicians, has been securide to fur nish music for the affair. The trouba- dours are now touring the country, and are making a speciality of play ing for Elks entertainments. After the reception and musical program, there will be dancing until 1 o'clock.
 To Dance German.
 Probably the first in this city in some years, the dance will be Ger man, and will be lead by Henry Jor- dan and Mrs. Arthur Fairfax Triplett, wife of the exalted ruler of the local Elks. Mir. Jordan will be assisted by Harold Bluthenthal
 Although all of the details have not yet been completed, arrangements thus far indicate that the function will be the most elaborate held here in some time. Social Pine Bluff has not yet come thru the dusky pail of war time social conditions. This en- tertainment by the Elks will send the first beam thru the mist.
 A. committee in charge, headed by Harold Bluthenthal, was appointed last night as follows: l, M. D. McNeil, D. Stanley Dreyfus, Henry oJrdan, J. P. Baker, Arthur Triplett, Walter H. Adams, and Mack Hunter.

CARNIVAL OPENS HERE FOR WEEK
 0F MERRIME:NT
Both Educational and Sen sational Shows and De
 vices Included.

The Shriners Spring Carnival, being held on the Tenth street grounds near the tabernacle was in full swing last night with all of the attractions literally patronized.
 The Wortham shows, which furnish the events have brought here one of the largest carnival aggregation ever in Pine Bluff. Thirty ear loads of paraphnalia and equipment, with Is paid Attractions and four rides, re- quiring the service of a troup of 250 attendants, have been set up. The big tents, booths and concessions cover the entire park, and the beautifully carved and glided wagon fronts are ablaze with myriads of electric lights In the background is the ferris wheel near the center the famous Coney Island sensational ride "The Whip" and almost at the entrance, the chil- dren's delight "the Merry Go Round'' Another ride which is we'll patronized by the grown folks is the Aerial Swing" built on similar lines of the hydro -aeroplane.
 Perfectly Proper.
 And it is a very proper show, with all the air of responsibility and propriety. Of special features there are too many to particularize The wild animal show has many of the best features of a four ring circus. Not only do dogs, ponies, monkeys, and horses go through the usual stunts of a trained animal show but big African lions, riding pumas and a trio of bears perform astonishing tricks in big steel arena to the crack of their trainers whip. One of the comical performances is the evi- dent satisfaction with which the bears drink from beer bottles. No old topper ever buttonholed friend with more solicitude than these bears exhibit when the keeper enters with his tray of bottles filled with something evi- dently greatly to the bears liking. They thrust the bottles far down their throats and hold on with their greath paws until the last drop is drained. There are many tents with exhibits of educational value. and con- sessions galore.
