 boyhood companions with whom he stole apples, and played at the old swimmin' hole, it will be the "Johnny'
 Perishing who spent his early life here before going away to West Point
 to embark on military career.
 Some time ago when Laclede 1 learned that General Perishing was returning from Europe the following cablegram was despatched to him by
 Mayor Allen.
 ! "Laclede, your old home, your boy
 hood friends and Linn county are calling you: When may we expect you home
 General Perishing cabled in reply:
 "I have heard the call. Will be there soon after my arrival in the United States. Can't give you defi- mite date now but will let you know later"
 1 Laclede will pay tribute to General
 Perishing on his arrival, not with the PoiiiP anu eoi SuioIiy Viido Hic1I hcu iio reception in European capitals, but with "good old fashioned Missouri home coming" according to the com mittee arranging for his reception.
 Plans for the generals entertain ment include reunions with old schoolmates and chums, trips to the old swimmin' hole on Muddy creek and to the old Perishing farm, The homecoming will also mark a reunion of the Perishing family, James Perishing, of Chicago, the gen. erals brother, and Miss May Persh- ing and Mrs. Bessie Butler, of Lin- coin, Neb., his two sisters, will gather at the former Pershing home during the generals stay. The reception will not be without military side. Decorated heroes of Missouri will form an honor guard Adjutant General H. C. Clark. of Mis- souri, will have charge of the mili- tary reception.
 Governor Frederick D. Gardner will deliver an address at the celebration and other state and national officials have been invited to attend. l Among old acquaintances who will greet General Perishing are Aunt" Susan Hewett, who made pies for him when he romped barefoot around the countryside and "Aunt" Louisa

Pine Bluffs Nice Town, Thinks This
 Alleged J. Rufus

Arthur James, who is charged by Joseph J. Mink of Springfield, H., with being flesh and blood "Get Rich Quick Wallingford," was brought here yesterday by Deputy Sheriff J. L. McBurnett from Little Rock, to answer a charge of grand larceny. James bond was fixed by Municipal Judge Earl s. Wood at $1O,OOO, which the accused expects to provide through a surety company.
 James, who is said to be known also as Robt. J. White, Harvey Smith, Arthur J. Early, Gerard P. Stone and Arthur James Eek, and possibly some other cognomens, is alleged to be one of. several men who are suspected of operating swindling schemes from Pine Bluff during the Hot Springs races last year. James was arrested last March by federal authorities on a charge of using the mails for frau dulent purposes, and was held in jail at Little Rock until Tuesday, when a surety company signed his bond for $2O,000. He was re-arrested by Pu- laski officials at the request of. Sher- riff c. M. Nichol
 The specific charge against James here is that he and his confederates obtained $20,000 from MT. Mink thru a fictitious rice farm transaction. His alleged confederates have not been apprehended. Mink offered a re- ward of $5,OOO for the arrest and conviction of the men he, claims swim dled him.
 James is "Wallingford' in ap- pearance and manner. Upon leaving the prison at Little Rock, he handed a $5 note to one of the doormen, and a dollar to a prisoner who had per- formed small service for him. He de- clares he was never in Pine Bluff be- fore, complimented the appearance of the city, and displayed keen interest in cotton growing, which, he said, was entirely new to him.
