ARREST NEGRO
INDICTED HERE
IS YEARS AGO
Is Picked Up BY Police
Before He Had Been In
CitV "a Hours.

On record book in the sheriff's
office at the court house is an entry
to the effect that George Daniels,
negro, was indicted by the grand jury
Wednesday on charge Of grand
larceny. The entry covers no more
than four lines. 1t is bare state
ment. Yet that statement tell re-
markable story of the relentless pro-
cess of the law.
Fifteen years ago, G. A. Bahlau.
of the Bahlau Produce company drove
up in his buggy to the front of a
business establishment in Pine Bluff
leaving about hundred dollars in
the buggy. While he was inside, the
money was stolen from the buggy.
Suspicion was fastened on the nc
gro, George Daniels. and before he
could be arrested. he left the city.
Since that time, he has wandered to
all parts of the United States, spend
ing his time in number of large
cities in the north.
But, had he not made one mistake.
his name, and the record of his in
dictment would not now be on the
record book in the sheriff's office.
He came back to Pine Bluff, and
within "a hours after he returned to
his home here, City Detective Lynn
arrested him on a charge of grand
larceny.
Just how it became known that
Daniels was back, or how it became
known that he was wanted, is not
clearly explained at police headquar-
tiers. But it is said that Chief of
Police Frank Stewart knows many
faces-both black and white. And it
is said that once he learns face, he
never forgets it, nor the incident
connected with the face.
Daniels made mistake-he came
back. Somebody remembered. And
now Daniels is in the county Jail un.
der five hundred dollar bond, in
dicted by the grand jury for CRANE
larceny, for the alleged theft o.
money said to have been stolen II
years ago.

Millions Of Letters
for Soldiers Overseas
Remain Undelivered

Washington, Jan. l0.-Blame for
delays in the transmission of mail
to and from soldiers overseas was
placed on the War department to-
day by Second Assistant Postmas-
ter General Praeger in testimony
before the senate postoffice COM
mittee. Most Of the trouble, he
said, was due to "carelessness" on
the part of military officials and the
War departments failure to CO.
operate with the postal authorities,
Probably millions of letters adj
dressed to soldiers overseas. which
have accumulated and have not
been delivered, will arrive in New
York within a few days" Mr.. Prae-
ger said, "and will be sent to the
dead letter Office, where an attempt
will be made to return them to the
writer's" Mr.. Praeger said a re-
port from a postoffiee inspector in
France said that eight or 10 car
loads of mail in France have not
been delivered
Mr.. Praeger said one way to im-
prove conditions overseas would be
to send a force of experienced mail
clerks to France to deliver the mail
to the soldiers.
The trouble does not lie at the
French ports" declared Mr.. Prae-
ger. 1T lies in the interior. The
mail gets tied up somewhere be-
tween army headquarters, censors

advances on the New York stock

Trust certificates are probably due
to a mistaken belief that the lands
are owned by the Texas and Pa

in the new found Texas oil fields,
in the opinion of w. H. Abrams,
for many years land commissioner
of the Texas and Pacific railroad.
He said that most of the land was
in wild territory and two-thirds of
it was west of the Pecos and Rio

were issued on unsold land grant
tracts several years ago to the bond
holders. The certificates went up
