 REPORT TO W.O. W.
(By the Associated vress)

New York, July 5.-W. A. Fraser of Omaha, sovereign commander of the Woodmen of the World in his annual report submitted to the Wooamen' $ national convention here today, de- scribed the Obstacles which were thrown in the way of the manage ment by those who are always op- posed to any new departure regard less of it's virtue" and explained what measures were to be put forth to con- bat the insurging clements
 "To harass the management, the insurging fraction brought numerous suits in different states, all of which were decided in favor of the society" Commander Fraser said. In the pre- Jude, he set forth the evolution from what he termed the "unscientific plan of rating fraternal societies from their inception until the present date, when most societies are conforming with the laws requiring adequacy of rates" It was through his sugges- tion, the report continued, that the Woodmen of the World made a sub stantial increase in rates as far back as 1901, and at almost every national

 MT and Mrs. Arthur were the par ents of two young sons and Mrs. Ar thur also had a child by a former marriage. Are Pearson was married and the father of two children, one very young. He was about AZ years of age.
 Mir. King stated that Ade and John Pearson were in Conway Sunday night and Monday morning and were in an intoxicated condition. They did wandered around town and were seen at one time near the end of Caldwell street paving. There seems no doubt that Ade was totally intoxicated at the time of the shooting, and that the liquor caused him to survive the gun shot wound as long as he did.
 In a statement to Mr. King, Ar thur said he supposed the trouble was ended when John and Ade Pearson left Kings bridge, and that he did not expect their return. He made every reasonable effort to avoid trouble. The officers are also con- vinced that Ade fired directly at Mrs. Arthur and not at her husband as he was untouched by the charge of shot.

GUARD 10 ATTEND PIKE ENCAMPMENT COMPANY ASKS RECRUITS Local Men to Contest Baseball Title for Fifth Arkansas-Uniforms
 Received.

Headquarters company of the Fifth Arkansas regiment, which will entrain Wednesday at 6:28 p. m., for the an- nual encampment at Camp Pike, still needs few more recruits to bring it up to maximum strength. Additions have been made to the personnel from time to time, but the possibility that a number of regulars might not be able to attend has caused Capt Arvor M. Ledbetter and his associates to seek more enlistments. Especial ad- vantages are offered ex-service men, who are given the option of reserve or permanent enlistments. Ball players are wanted badly by the company, which will contest the other units for championship of the regiment.
 Clothing and equipment for the local guardsmen has been received and will be distributed at the armory on East Oak street on Wednesday. Members of the company are directed to report during the day and sign for their equipment and to report for entrain- ment not later than p. n., tomor- row. It is estimated that the com pany will receive $3,000 during it's stay at Camp Pike from July to 27. A four-day school of instruction for of ficers, non-commissioned officers and specialists will precede the actual en- campment.
 Headquarters company baseball team will include Tanner and Allison from the State Normal, Charles from Hendrix and Fred Reynolds, "Ted" Harton, Tucker, Williams, Anderson and Maddy. Baseball will be one of the recreations offered the guardsmen and the local men are confident of pushing all contenders for regimental honors. An attempt will be made to schedule games with Camp Pike teams.
 Officers of the local company are: Captain Ledbetter, commanding; Capt. C.. s. McHenry, war plans and educa- tional officer; Lieut.. James A. Ander- son, Jr.; William Van Valkenburgh, regimental sergeant; Esby Rogers and Thomas Byrnes, first sergeants; Hugh Stermer, D. O. Harton, Jr., c. K. Douglass and Robert B. Erbacher, ser geants. Captain Ledbetter will be re- creational and athletic officer for the encampment, and Captain McHenry, war plans, gas and intelligence of. ficer

 the disbandment of the war forces. The Fifth Arkansas will be under command of Col. Charles B. Moore,
 former regular army officer and West
 point graduate, with Lieut.. Col. H. L.
 McAlister of this city as executive of ficer. The staff of instructors from
 the regular army will be headed by
 Lieut.. Col. Morrison as senior and
 three others holding the rank of ma jor. Eight mess sergeants will also
 be detailed from the third division
 for duty during the encampment.
 Besides the regiment, the anti-alr- craft machine gun. battalion will be encamped for the period. It includes
 the headquarters company at Nash vile and machine gun battalions from Ozark, Little Rock, Heber Springs and Carlisle The ambulance corps, separate unit in the states military organization, will come from Jones' boro. Al told the number of Arkan- sas men in camp will be around 1900.
 Battalion headquarters are located at Marianna in command of Maj. FL gin c. Robertson; at Beebe, in com mand of Maj. Ralph B. Andrews, and at Russellville, in command of Maj. J. H. A. Baker Other units include the howitzer company at Mena, ser vice company at Ola and infantry com panies at Pine Bluff, Forrest City, Cotton Plant, Magnolia, Hope, Pres: colt, Sparkman, Blytheville, Walnut Ridge, Mariana, Magazine, Hazen. The regimental band will come from Moro and the medical detachment from Camden.
 On the score of pay, the guard will allow to officers the pay of their re- spective ranks in the regular army and will be furnished transportation from their home station to camp and return. Enlisted men will receive the pay of their respective pay authorized for the base pay of like grades in the regular army, transportation from their home stations to Camp Pike and return, and subsistence.
 Enlisted men attending the camp are instructed by the adjutant gen. eral to wear as uniform cotton, olive drab coat and brooches, service hat with cord, spiral puttees and march, ing shoes. The variation from this order for officers will be leather leg gins instead of puttees, or boots for officers authorized to be mounted.
 sAs a special inducement to retain former service men in the ranks of the military, world war veterans are given choice of enlistment either in the guard or in the reserve. In the latter case, such volunteers would draw the respective pay of their grades during encampment, but would be excused from flTther military ser vice except in time of a state emer- gency, when they would be subject to call

Crack Shot, Rider
 In Western Film

If there is single man who can typify the best there is in the West of prairie and mountain, that man is Joe Ryan. Ryan now spends most of his time acting for the screen, but Ryan isn't a film West erner." Ryan merely does the things he has always done--the things he could do expertly since he could walk-and a cameraman makes q record of them.
 Which explains why millions of fans the country over rejoiced when it was announced that he would ap- pear in ''The Purple Riders a splendid virile Vitagraph serial, With Western setting, and stirring, unusual plot.
 The chapter play is completed, and all expectations for it have been exceeded, as Ryan's admirers will discover when the first episode is shown at the Majestic theatre on Saturday Ryan takes the part of Sheriff Dick Ranger, fearless, fast riding, quick-on-the- trigger enforcer of law.

thus has double motive to run them down and land them behind the bars It is task worthy of him, for the Riders are the pick of the Western criminals, absolute mar vels and devils a-horse, shots of re- nown, crafty and treacherous in using the lore of woodland and for est trail
 Ryan, as Dick, actually outrides the best of the bandits, and, if he does not excell, equals their wonders of craftsmanship. In addition, he is forced by them to do any number of dangerous stunts. He is dragged across the rocky trails by the horse men at the end of a lariat trap; he is plunged, with his horse, in a raging mountain torrent; he has tons of mountainside cascaded down on him.
 Ryan comes by his ability to take such a part by early training and aptitude. He was born on a ranch " was hoisted on a broncho's back and allowed to ride. Shooting and swim ming were soon acquired, and Ryan spent most of his life in this vigOr- Ous atmosphere. It is only in the past few years that he has had any other end in view for his ranch activities, and this came about by way of circus engagement, a vaudeville tour, and quick recogni- tion of his abilities for moticn-"i"- lures of dramatic strength and rapid action

 SHIP. DISASTER
Liner Strikes Reef on Cali fornia Coast-Nearly 50 Missing; Crashes in Dense Fog.

Eureka, Cal, Aug. S.-Twelve bodies have been brought here out of d list of 36 passengers and 12 of the crew missing from the wreck of the coastline steamer Alaska, which struck a rock in Blunts reef, 40 miles south of here, and sank Saturday night.
 Ninety-six passengers and 70 of the crew were brought here late Sunday by the steamer Anyox, which arrived at the scene of the wreck Sunday in time to pick up these survivors from drifting lifeboats and from among the wreckage.
 The Alaska was bound from Port land. Ore. to San Francisco. Capt. Harry Hobbey, skipper of the wreck ed vessel, is missing, and is belicv- ed to have gone down with his ship.
 A dense fog concealed the treach- erous rocks of the Blunt's reef, which projects far into the ocean, when the Alaska crashed at $40 o'clock Saturday night. Within 20 minutes the crippled steamer listed, turned and sank to within four feet of the tips of the masts.
 The passengers were placed in lifeboats, but one overturned as it was lowered into the water.
 Thomas Johnston of Brooklyn, N. Y, was drowned and his wife res cued, though injured. Owen Terlin and his wife of Indianapolis were saved slightly injured. Of the 12 bodies recovered four have been iden- tified as passengers and eight mem bers of the crew.
 The known dead are: Passengers, Thomas Johnston of Brooklyn; E. Pickall of Hubbard, Ore; A. N. Hutchinson. Portland, Ore.;S. kuma- Zawa, steerage passenger. Crew, Chief Steward Heane; Steward r. K. King Frank Comm, Ralph J. Mockett, seaman; Larsen, engine hand of Portland. Ore; janitor, name not known; waiter, name un- known; bell boy, believed named Baldwin of Oakland, Cal.
 Captain Hobbey and two passen- gers were the last on the ship. The captain is missing. He was without life preserver. One of the two passengers George Glenn of Nebras- ka, was saved. The Anyox with the known 166 survivors, arrived here late Sunday.
 According to the stories of the survivors three lifeboats were launched. The last was but few yards from the wreck when the Alaska. which had listed to star board suddenly righted, and then plunged, bow first.
 George Glenn, who with another passenger and the captain were the last men on the ship, came to the surface short time afterward. and finally found an empty lifeboat Others were struggling in the water The Anyox, towing a barge to Van couver. was 12 miles distant when the first S. o. s. signals of the Alaska flashed out.
 Within an hour the AnyoX arriv- ed at the wreck and with order that won high praise from the sur vivors, the crew of the AnyoX speed ily picked up those who were drift ing in life preservers or in life boats
 Through the night other ships joined in the rescue work.
