B MEN ACCUSED
 OF NIGHT RIDING
NINE ARE ARRESTED NEAR JONESBORO-WAR
 OUT FOR OTHERS.

Jonesboro. April 11.-A wholesale roundup of men charged with arson and night riding in this county began this afternoon when Sheriff W. T. ed down on the community of Day, 10 miles east of Jonesboro, and arrested nine men. Warrants have been issued for 30 others, who will be arrested to- morrow
 The arrests follow a series of myste- rious fires in this county, beginning early last fall when there was objec- ton to selling cotton at the low price then prevailing Since then two or three gins, several barns and residences have been burned, and it was believed that an organized gang was responsible.
 The nine men arrested today are : Clarence Craig, Everett Kintrey, Henry Evans. l.. c. Bird. J. c. Castleman,
 Noah Hasley, Dewitt Garrett. Harri- son Duty and F. Bowman.
 The arrests are the direct result. of threats made against Bowman, 1t Is said. Bowman made a trip to Jones' boro Saturday, it is said, and the oth- CTS believed he came here to give infor- nation to the officers. When he re turned to Day. he was seized by several men who kept him prisoner all night, according to a story he told next day, and threatened to kill him if he gave out any information.
 Bowman told of his experiences next day and some of the residents of that community came to Jonesboro and laid the matter before the deputy prosecut- ing attorney, who issued warrants for the 80 men and gave them to the sheriff to serve. The wife of Clarence Craig offered resistance when the officers arrested her husband and threatened
 them with revolver, they said, but she was disarmed.
 Following the firse in the community about two months ago the deputy state | fire warden came here and made an
 investigation, but nothing came Of It.
 The deputy prosecuting attorney be lieves the investigation will result Ill | conviction of those responsible for the | fires. Farmers last fall were warned
 that they might expect trouble if they sold their cotton at the low price then
 prevailing.-GaZette.

RECITAL BY HENDERSON,
 BROWN STUDENTS

The seating capacity of the Methodist church was taxed to its utmost capacity last night by the large audience which assembled to enjoy the recital given by Misses Gee, Shinn, and Miller, mem bers of the Senior class of Henderson Brown college To say that the expec- tations of the audience were fully re- alized hardly does justice to the splen- did character of the entertainment
 This was the second number of the Sunday School Chautauqua and the character of the performance would have been creditable to professional en- tertainers. Miss Lula Beth Gee, who Is Prescott girl. has voice Of rare sweetness and beauty. Her ease of manner on the platform and the thor oughness with which she puts her very soul into the spirit of her songs add much to the charm and beauty of her voice. Prescott is justly proud or her and we predict for her career of re- ma rkable success on the Chautauqua platform. Miss Miller is a young wo- man of most pleasing personality ana her work on the Violin was richly en' loved by the audience Miss Shinn has received very high praise from many sources on the character of her gradu- ating recital given recently in the col lege auditorium, and the people were expecting rare treat in her perform ances on the Piano and her work Ill reading Their expectations were more than justified. Her readings were well chosen an dexcellently rendered While her performances on the Piano, both as accompanist and soloist were of the highest order of skill. In short, the recital was pre-eminent success in every way and the people of Pres- colt are most grateful to MT. Calhoun who arranged the program. and to the gifted and accomplished young ladies who carried it out, for an evening or rare pleasure, the memory of whlch will finger for many days.

FOREIGN MINISTER UCHI0A
OENOUNCES CALIFORNIA LAW
japanese Official in Diet Speech Calls
the Act Unjust and Dis
criminatory.

Washington. Jan. @4.-The Califor-
mia alien land law was denounced as
unjust and discriminatory" by VS.
count Uchida. minister for foreign af-
fairs. before the japanese diet here.
The text of his speech was made pub
lie 10y the japanese embassy here.
After declaring he was convinced
that the relations between japan
and America are as cordial as ever"
Vlscount Uchida added:
II have TO dwell here on the unf0r-
tunate event which has occurred IN
our relations with the United States.
Last November the state Of California
passed. through initiative, the alien
land law. In a word the new land law
Is a cognate law of 1913. made more
drastic and severe.
"That 10 aims at Japanese and Is
unjust. ana discriminatory canHOt be-
denied. Regret which the Japanese
government expressed mt the lesis'a-
tion of 1913 is therefore still more
keenly felt by them az this new legs
lation. The difficulty arising between
Japan and America from legislation
OF 1913 has unfortunately remained
unsettled 20 this day. The present
question has therefore been engaging
the most careful attention Of the Jap
aneSe government. They have ap-
preached the problem from the higher
standpoint of Japanese-American
friendship and with full regard TO the
close and important relations of com
mon interests between the two nations
and they have placed supreme i'm
portance upon a prompt and satisfac-
tory solution of the difficulty caused
by the unfortunate movement In Cali
fornia. They have authorized their
representative i'm Washington TO dis
cuss the whole situation with the State
department and a frank and free ex-
change of views has been proceeding
on various points involved in the ques-
ton.
1T Is 10 be regretted that we are
not yet in a position to publish the
results Of these discussions, but we
confidently trust that an adjustment
compatible with the honor and inter
ests OF both countries may be finally
arrived IT,"
