which Is recognized by the govern ment.. Some of the work done bv our home service section, as fol lows: Tracers sent for Liberty bonds of ex-service men; locating lost baggage for ex-service men :: assisting families in obtaining their government allowances and allot- ments; securing travel pay; letters sent in regard to arrears of pay :: giving medical aid; reinstating government insurance policies; as- sisting families to collect insurance due them as result of soldiers deaths; making loans to soldiers or their families; obtaining hospital cars for ex-soldiers; arranging gov ernment transportation; arranging for vocational training.
 It must be remembered that dur ing the past ten months and for the remainder of the year the activities of the American Red Cross have been only for discharged service men and their families. They have only taken other cases that were brought to their attention, and never have sought them out, turn ing them over in most cases to other agencies. This work will be continued until January 1, 1920, when the scope of the work will be broadened. But the ex-service men will not be neglected.
 The peace program of the Red Cross, which has been outlined on many occasions, calls for care for all and only means that additional work will be taken on by those workers who served their country so faithfully during the war. The work in hospitals in this country and in France and England will be continued until the last soldier, sailor and marine is discharged. But the Red Cross will again take on work for the civilian population. 1t is for this work, which begins with the new year, that campaign or third annual roll call is to be conducted throughout the United States during the week of Novem- Der 2-11. This roll call applies to Marianna and Lee county, and the funds obtained will be used in con tinuing the work which is now be- ing done by the organization. Ma rianna and Lee county is expected to obtain not less than 2,000 mem- bers during this roll call, and it is up to every citizen of Marianna and Lee county to give $1 for membership for one year in the American Red Cross.

2I Negroes Held
 On Murder Charges

Helena, Oct. 2S.-At the end of the second day of the session of circuit court here the Phillips county grand jury returned 21 in dictments charging murder in the first degree against negroes held for participation in the insurrec- tion in the lower part of the county during the week beginning October 1. Some of the prisoners have two charges of murder pending against them.
 The 21 negroes indicted so far are John Martin, Alfred Banks, Will Wordlow, Charley Jones, Ed Mitchell, Joe Fox, Joe Mershona, Will Curry, Sr., Gilmore Jenkins, Milliken Giles, Henry Mason, Will Curry, Jr., Mckenzie Harris John Ratley, Joe Ligon, Sykes Fox, Will Burns, Dave Hays, Albert Giles, Frank Moore, Will Jackson.
 More than 100 cases remain to be investigated and the grand jury will resume it's work tomorrow. Court authorities today said that the first of the insurection cases prob ably would not go to trial before next Monday. It is expected that some of the indicted men will plead guilty.
 No excitement is being shown in connection with the court sessions, although much interest centers about the arrival of G. P. Casey, in chage of Sheriff c. K. Carman of Seneca, Kan. The officer and his prisoner are expected to reach here today or tomorrow.
 Casey is member of the law firm of Bratton, Bratton & Casey of Little Rock and Helena. He was in active charge of the local branch office when the insurrection in the lower part of the county was pre- maturely precipitated by the mur- der of W. A. Adkins, railroad spe- cial agent, and the wounding of Deputy Sheriff Charles Pratt by ne- groes acting as sentinels around a church at Hoop Spur, where a se- cret meeting of armed negroes was in progress.
 The specific charge against Casey has not been made public, although it is known that he is wanted here in connection with the insurrec- ton.

TRIAL OF cUITEAU.
Henry Watterson RecalIs Memories
 of Carfield's Slayer.

 In one way and another I fancy that I am we'll acquainted with the assassins of history. Of those who slew Caesar I learned in my school days, and between Ravaillac, who did the business for Henry of Na- varre, and Booth and Guiteau, my familiar knowledge seems almost at | first hand.
 One night at Chamberlin's, in Washington, George Corkhill, the district attorney who was prosecut- ing the murderer of Garfield, said to me: "You will never fully un- derstand this case until you have sat by me through one days pro- ceedings in court" Next day l did this.
 Never have I passed five hours in a theater so filled with thrills. I occupied a seat 'twixt Corkhill and Scoville, Guiteau's brother-in- law and voluntary attorney. say voluntary because from the first Guiteau rejected him and vilely abused him, vociferously insisting upon being his own lawyer.
 From the moment Guiteau en- tered the trial room it was theat- rical extravaganza. He was in irons, sandwiched between two deputy sheriffs, came in shouting like madman, and began at once railing at the judge, the jury and the audience. A very necessary rule had been established that whatever was being done or said automatically stopped. Then, when he ceased, the case went on again as if nothing had happened.
 Only Scoville intervened between me and Guiteau and I had an ex- cellent opportunity to see, hear and size him up. In visage and voice he was the meanest creature l have, either in life or in dreams, encoun- tered. He had the face and into nation of demon. Everything about him was loathesome. can not doubt that his criminal col leagues of history were of the same description.
 Charlotte Corday was surely a lunatic. Wilkes Booth knew. He was drunk, had been drunk, all that winter, completely muddled and perverted by brandy, the inheritant of mad blood. Czolgosz, the slayer of Mckinley, and the assassin of the Empress Elizabeth were clearly insane. Henry Watterson in the Saturday Evening Post.

WRIT FOR CHILD FAILS.
Helena Man Sought Offspring Taken
 to Fort Smith.

Fort Smith, Ark, Oct. 29.-The petition of J. H. Tucker of Helena, Ark, against MT. and Mrs. R. T.. Lute of this city, for writ of ha- beas corpus for possession of Fuckers child, Frances Pauline, aged three years, was denied by CChancellor J. V. Bourland in the chancery court today. Tucker charged the defendants kidnapped the child at Helena.
 The defendants alleged in their answer they obtained custody of the child from an orphanage at Helena where the babe had been placed. It was also charged in their answer that indignant citizens of Helena compeled Tucker to leave the city in 1918 and when he left he desert ed four small children who became objects of charity.

HELD AS PAUPER, WEALTHY.
Wards Island Hospital Inmate
Worth $4,000.

Adjudged mentally incompetent last
December, Oscar Goethe was COM
mitted to Wards Island. In a petition
acted upon by Surrogate Cohalan yes
terday II developed that Goethe is heir
to $4,000 in New York city bonds. but
due to circumstances connected with
the war, was unable to get a penny OF
the money and was unable to earn
enough to support himself.
Mrs. Edith NJ, Goethe, 622 West
l41st street. asked for an order for the
removal of Frederick Muller as one of
the trustees OF the estate OF her
father-in-law. August Goethe, who died
in 1892. Her petition was granted and
she was appointed to replace the de-
posed trustee.
Mrs Goethe stated that when the
United States declared war on Ger
many Muller fed the country and Is
now believed TO be in Germany. She
commended that he Is an enemy alien
and is therefore disqualified as a
trustee. = Since his departure from
America the Goettles have been unable
to collect any part of the principal or
interest on the money they rightfully
own.
Worry over this Is believed to have
affected aoettle's reason. The removal
of Muller will enable the other trustees
to relieve Goethe from the embarrass-
ing position he Is now in.

These prices are where the coal can be
