Road Got Riley's Tank On Trip to
 Monroe in Essex

Some roads are bad: others are worse. But when road is so bad that car sinks deep enough for a rock to pierce the gasoline tank of an automobile, it must be admitted that it is not road at all, put stream in need of dredging.
 That's what happened to Hicks Riley of the Hicks Riley Motor com panv. who left here yesterday Tn hls Essex roadster for nonstop endur- ance run to Monroe, La, and return The mishap occurred near Montl- cello, and Mir. Riley was compelled to abandon the journey.
 Until he lost his gas, MT. Riley was going strong, and there seemed every reason to believe that the trip would be completed, despite the rain when had made of the so-called, highways better adapted to seaplanes than au- tos. The Essex got off good at 5 a. m.. carrying copies of the Graphlc to towns south. It was through the Graphic that many first learned or the apprehension of race trouble at Dumas. The distance to Montlcelio was covered in seven hours-not 1ast time for an automobile, but good TOT motor-boat conditions, which was the Essex handicap.
 Just to show his further confidence in the Essex, MT. Riley publishes Tn this issue of the Graphic, challenge to wager $500 that no other auto. moh;le in Pine Bluff can beat the time of the Essex roadster under similar conditions. No car is barred in the test against the Hudson-made ESSeX

.JeWeler RecOVers S8.OOO He Believed
 Lost in Big Fire

Platte City, Neb., Jan. 24.-Leaney Recht, a jeweler, had mistrust for banks, so he hid his money in his store. No one bothered it for GA years. Then fire destroyed Recht's store and, as he supposed, all of his money. At this point his luck changed-at least as Recht believed. Recht is German and his name translated means right. But he was wrong.
 The ruins have been gone thru recently and they have given up SS,OOO in coin and paper money. The paper money was in flimsy tin box but it was not injured.
 Recht had cut port holes thru the floor of his sleeping porch room with the view of shooting down thru them into the store at any intruder who might attempt robbery. As further protection the building was provided with heavy wooden shutters and it was a familiar sight to see Recht put them up each night and take them down in the morning. III health lately has prevented him from following the occupation as a watch repairer, SO for several months the windows have remained darken- ed ,altho the store was open for business.

 1915
NEW LIGHT CASE ON
 BOLSHEVISM MOVE
Mexican, Close to Carranza, Sought Aid of Martens, Soviet Am basSadOr to the United
 States

San Antonio, Tex, Jan. 22.-Car- ranZa and a few of his principal lieu tenants instigated and directed the long series of raids on American properties that began along the Rio Grande early in 1915, according to documentary evidence placed be- fort the senate subcommittee inves- tieating the Mexican situation. This wa,S supported by testimony by John A. Ealls, the district attorney at Brownsville, Tex, L. R. Earned, in charge of the United States army intelligence work along the border during the war, and other witnesses. Tine committee secured from them and from documentary evidence in- formation tending to show that not only were the highest Mexican of ficials cognizant of the raiding par ties which was carried out under the provisions of the "plan of Sandiego," but that as late as June, 1915, they were still giving encouragement to and aiding those who participated in those raids in plans inimical to the United States.
 Incident to the taking of testi- mony regarding Mexican government officials connection with the "plan of San Diego" further information was secured as to the success enter countered by Germans in bidding for the sympathy and support of Mexi- co during the war and the present drift towards bolshevism. T. B. Allendorf, a Pole who was in the in- telligence service of the American army during the war and who was largely responsible for the arrest of the German spy, Witstke, now a pris- oner at Fort Sam Houston, was placed on the witness stand long enough to identify Mario Mendez the director of telegraphs as one of those whom Minister Won Eckhardt kept on his payroll during the war Allendorf said Mendez' job was to see that copies of all messages from the United States bearing on mili- tary affairs were delivered to the German legation.
 4 new note on the bolshevik gov ernment in Mexico came from a copy of a letter written by Linn Gale to Martens the bolshevikis' diplo- matic representative at New York. Knowing you are the financial agent of the Russian society in New York;" Gale wrote, q take the lib- erty of asking you if you can give me financial aid in my propaganda in Mexico. He added the explana- tion that he was the editor of a magazine devoted to the furtherance of radicalism. He explained that he went to Mexico to evade the army draft, "and since then," he added, "1 have established very close relations with the Mexican government which l have urged to bolshevize the coun- try and which will I believe will do so l have been extended unusual help in various ways by President Carranza and his prime minister Secretary Berlanga."

S140,0O() STOCK IN
 NEW THEATRE: WILl.
 BE: OFFERED TO-DAY
Only Substantial Subscrip- tions Will be Taken by
 Committee

Subscrlptlons aggregatin% $140,- 900 for the new theatre here will be obtained from about 75 firms and business men of the city who will take stock in the venture, it was decided at the meeting of the theatre committee of the Chamber of Com merce yesterday afternoon. Only large concerns will be interviewed and instead of soliciting buyers of stock among a large number who would purchase small amounts of stock, only firms who wish to take substantial amounts will be inter- viewed. Some 25 concerns have al- ready expressed a desire to take stock it is said.
 in it's work of explaining the propo- sition as an investment and what it will mean to the city from civic standpoint.
 A subcommittee of which Joe Nichol is chairman, composed of A. w. Nunn, F. C. Bridges, Henry Marx and w. N Trulock. who will collect data on the theatre from tn. standpoint of an investment for Pine Bluff, was appointed.
 It is the hope of the committee to call attention to the fact that citi- zens of Pine Bluff and it's territory want the highest class of theatrical entertainment procurable, and when the theatre is built, this will be furnished. It is thought that this will prove a decided impetus in draw ing out -of-town customers here.
