SUPPORTING THE BALL TEAMS

At Thursdays baseball game be- tween the Shoe Mems team and a Pulaski county team there were 24 people in the stands. The game was a Thinning affair that was as inter- esting as ball game can be-to the fan who knows every play and all the ins and oute of the game as we'll as to the casual visitor.
 This is the third extra inning same in which this Pine Bluff team has played. The attendance hasn't been good. The White Sox team has also played some splendid ball and has drawn little better, except on Sunday We have good chance now to deyei- op baseball in Pine Bluff. Next year if the game is properly supported this year, we may have a league. If the Pine Bluff people want baseball its up to them to support it now and show how they stand.

Soviet In Control
 At Irkutsk Now

Irktusk, Central Siberia, June 19- Soviet rule has been thoroughly es- tablished in Irktusk, all institutions have been nationalized, most of the stores have been closed and per init is necessary even to purchase a newspaper.
 Food conditions are most serious, and the population is given rations of block bread which cannot be ob- tained except through the use of government cards, and even then in small quantities. A few Chinese merchants dealing in this bread which costs 25O rubles pound.
 Few foreigners, and no foreign con- sular officials remain in Irkutsk A party of IS British officers who had been taken prisoners of war were sent to Moscow last week. 1t is estimated that 10000 Chinese left Irktusk during May to walk to the Chinese frontier. Officials declare the food crisis will continue until harvest time.
 This city was the scene of the tragic and of Admiral Kolchak's eff forts to establish supreme rulership in Siberia. He was executed and buried here, but only one soviet of ficial and two laborers can point out the spot where his body lies. Irk- tusk is otday city of soldiers.
 The Associated Press correspondent in reaching Irktusk, made a 2,00O- mile dctour, which took six weeks. from Vladivostok through China and
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1920-06-26

Mongolia and across the 700 miles stretch of the Gobidesert. He was the first American to enter the Soviet boundaries from the East since the collapse of the Kolchak regime.
 The far Eastern situation is ot paramount interest to the soviet au- thorities. The fifth bolsheviki ar my, broke the power of Ad- miral Kolchak, is stationed near this city and is watching developments at Verkhnie-U Udinsk and Chita. The bolsheviki side of the Selenga river has been newly intrenched and the soviet army is ready for action in case it's territory is invaded by Jap anese.
 There is direct rail and wire con- munications from there to Moscow.

CARD INDExING HUMAN BEINGS.

Our charitable organizations can take warning and learn lesson iron, the decision of the New York court in the case of William McCue.
 McCue's picture was taken on the assertion that it was for Boy Scout work. Then it was printed in book put out by the Russell Sage Founda- tion, under the caption "the toughest kid in Hell's Kitchen"
 William had hard boiled look. He looked tough and his picture looked good for the uses to which it was put. That he wasn't tough did not matter. So it was printed.
 Then William sued the Russell Sage Foundation and the people who pub lished the book. He obtained $3,0OO damages.
 In announcing the verdict the judge said:
 "That is the great trouble with
 
 these movements. The ythink that where there is poverty there must be criminality. As matter of fact in those humble little homes in the sec ton pictured in this book will be- found more Christian piety, more de- votion to real duty, more of the ster- ling qualities of humanity than will be found in the mansions along Fifth avenue.
 "These people from their great height of self conscious righteous ness and superior excellence peer down on and discuss these humble beings as though they were so many cobblestones in the street, without any regard at all for their feelings or their rights in the community"
 As the justice declared that is one trouble with our charity workers. Hired employees of organizations that are highly systematized do the work. They have no real sympathy for the people they are paid to help. They handle them as so many names orl !. numbers. Each represents card in an indexed file, and that is all.
 In some charitable organizations the poor cannot receive aid without sub- jecting themselves to searching and insolent cross examination. It is of ter the case that the self respecting | cannot receive help. It is often the case that only the deserving" are given aid-"deserving" according to the standards of the worker (often a near-fanatic) to whom their case is assigned.
 The main thing about poverty or misery is that it represents suffering | which needs to be relieved, whether it was brought about through the fault of the sufferer or through cir cumstance.

BOLD H 0 [ D U P
FRUSTRATED B Y
v|G|LANT OFFICER

One of the boldest attempts of hold
up men attempted in the city in many
months was frustrated by the prompt
action of policeman f. Webb yester-
day morning, when he arrested En-
rique Velasguez while attempting to
hold up Hop Wah at his store on
Grand Avenue.
Velasguez and a companion had
aroused the curiosity of the people
of the vicinity by their suspicious ac-
tions, and the police office was noti-
fled. Webb went to the scene, and
after watching the men go into two
or three different buildings saw them
go into Hops store.
From the story told afterwards by
the oriental it appears that the ac-
complice went up to the counter with
the appearance of making some small
purchases. He had a number Of small
coins rolled up in a handkerchief, and
while unwrapping them, apparently
purposely, spilled them so that some
OF them rolled to the floor on the
Chinaman's side of the counter. His
first intention, says the Chinaman,
was to pick up the coins for the Mex
lean; but noticing his prospective
customers hand getting suspicious
ly near the scale weights he desisted.
About this time Velasguez, who dur.
ing the parley had gone into the rear
room unnoticed, returned with Hops
big police model Smith and Wesson,
and ordered him to throw up his
hands. On this turn of events Hop
and his prospective customer went
out the front door in a big hurry,
while Webb stepped in and covered
Velasquez with his automatic.
The would be hold-pp apparently
did not care to exchange shots with
the policeman, so dropped the China
mans gun and surrendered, while his
accomplice made good his escape.
Velasquez is now languishing in
the city Jail, and will probably be
turned over to the county authorities
