 EWe have not as yet definitely as certained the cause of the fire, but we are inclined to the belief that it start ed from some incense that was being burned during the prologue of the mo- ton picture show, which was a scene with an Egyptian setting. It may have been that flames from the incense pots set fire to draperies, which were near.
 At Coroner Mixs inquiry several persons present when the broke out were examined and then the taking of evidence was postponed until ten o'clock.
 Lawrence W. Carroll, manager of the theatre and James Cater his as sistant who were detained by the au- tnoritieS after the fire, were later re- leased upon their own recognizance until 10 o'clock this forenoon.
 Police Captain Joseph H. Cohane of the Howard avenue station, with his daughter were standing in the rear of the theatre. He said that he had noticed the odor of incense burn ed in the prologue. A red glare was behind the screen which he thought was an added attraction to the film Not until he saw smoke and fire, did he realize the danger. Captain Co., the captain assisted in the rescue work.

STRONGLY OPPOSE
 CHANGING 'D|NKEY'

The petition at Mor- rilton was drawn by w. E.

 The Kendrick bill proposes to ex- tend the run of the two trains to Ozark. Under its present schedule, the morning accommodation leaves Spadra at $40 and reaches Little Rock at 10:15. Returning, it leaves Little Rock at 4:10 p. m., and reaches Spadra at 9 p. m. Should the run be extended, the interval elapsing be- tween it's arrival and departure from Little Rock each would have to be shortened to about che hour.

 Brethren of Woodland Lodge No.
 II, K. of P:
 Brother Sam Heiligers, charter member of the lodge, died February 7, 1921. The duration of his illness was short and was rendered tranquil by the loving ministrations of devoted and courageous wife.
