Five crisp $2O bills are offered by the Conway unit of the Ku Klux Klan for the capture and bringing to justice" of the person or persons responsible for the murder of George Hopkins and his wife.
 Mayor w. D. Cole this morning re ceived the money and authority to of- fer it as reward through the mal!. The klan will direct him when and to whom payment is to be made, in the event Tom and Roy Johnson are apprehended and identified as the murderers.

M'RAE INTERESTED
 HIN M. & N. A. ROAD

Little Rock, Jan. Ex-Governor Me Rae has become interested in the ne- gotlations that are pending for the resumption of business by the Mis- souri and North Arkansas Railroad. He has been in correspondence with festus J. Wade, the St. Louis fnan- cler, who is one of the principal stockholders in the railroad company. MT. Wade has three lines of proce- dure under which he hopes to be able to revive the railroad service. These are:
 1. To secure loan from the gov ernment of $3,500,000.
 ?. To secure a reduction of 25 per cent under the present standard wage scale from labor.
 5. To secure a greater division from connecting railroads and an in- crease in rates on certain commodi- ties.
 The governor has written the In- terstate Commerce Commission as follows:
 Il am very much concerned and interested in the effort to have the affairs of the Missouri and North Arkansas Railroad adjusted so that they can resume operations. The sus- pension of trains on this road is . calamity to the country through which it passes and I sincerely trust that the road will be able to make such as howing as to secure from the government the loan which it asks; that it will be able to secure reduc- tion of the present standard wage scale and that it will be able to se- cure a greater division from it's con meeting lines. It seems to me that road penetrating a country like this over which it is expensive to con- struct and operate road, that ere ates business for the great trunk lines, ought to be allowed more than the usual division. endorse the statement and arguments made by Mr. Wade, who has for some months been engaged in an effort to put the road on an operating basis"

Paris Jan. 14.-M. Poincare, given the task of forming T new French cabinet to replace the ministry head ed by Mir. Briand, has asked Rene Viviani, former premier and former French high commissioner to the United States, to accept the portfolio of minister of justice with vice presi- dency of the cabinet. M. Viviani, however, declined the post.
 M. Poincare today gave out his views on the allied conference at Cannes, in which French participation has been held up while the new min istry is being formed. The new pre- mier is not an absolute opponent of commercial negotiations with Russia, but does not approve of the allied in vitation to Russia to take part in the international economic conference at Genoa in March.

PAIR
 YET AT LARGE,
 CLUES SCANTl

Tom and Roy Johnson are this af- ternoon still at large.
 Tom Johnson left the home of his son-in-law, David Williams, about four miles north of Barney, Friday at noon He told Williams that if he returned, it would be before dark. In contrast with the elder Johnson, whose course has been fairly closely followed since the double murder Thursday morning, no one has au- thentically reported even so much as sight of Roy Johnson, The report from Bayou Meto in Pulaski county, that both the father and son were seen there, is without foundation since Tom Johnson is travelling alone.
 Sheriff W, M. Brady and Deputy J. l. Summers returned today at noon after 36 hours of practically continu- ous work on the trail of the alleged murderers of George Hopkins and his wife, Nettie Hopkins. They spent all yesterday in the neighborhood of Marshall schoolhouse. Returning to Conway about 6 o'clock last night, they stopped only long enough to eat and refuel their car, setting out at once for Barney. The Williams house was reached this morning at day break
 Reports in regard to Tom Johnson will be less frequent from now on, it is presumed, since he has provided himself with wagon sheet with the intention of sleeping in the woods or along the roadside instead of stop ping at houses Food will be his only requirement. Sheriff Brady said it is not certain whether or not the fu- gitive is armed. No evidence of a weapon was reported by Chester Polk, who saw him and walked a short distance along the road with him Thursday night near Enola.
 Williams knew of the double mur- der when his father-in-law came to his house, but his wife had not been informed on account of the condition of her health.
 All night search around Enola was maintained last night by volunteer posse composed of Constable George Roundtree, Other Starr, Walter Campbell, John Bailey, J. T. Duck cit and Joe Weaver, who, however uncovered no trace of the fugitives The officers do not think that either of the pair is near the scene of the murders.
 Burial was given the bodies of Mir. and Mrs. Hopkins yesterday at the Mt. Olive cemetery
 Marion Wright, the first to reach the Hopkins house and a witness to part of the crimes, spent last night in Conway. He was heard by sev- eral crowds on the street, but declined to talk for newspaper publication, Wright said that newspaper reports of the crimes were inaccurate on sev7 eral points, but refused to correct them.
 A daughter of the Williams fam fly, who saw Tom Johnson while at their house. told Sheriff Brady that one of Johnson's hands was badly hurt. When walking with Polk near Enola, he kept his hands thrust into his overals, characteristic habit often noticed by his acquaintances here.
 An unverified report from Mt. Yer non this morning stated that Tom Johnson had been surrounded near there and posse was closing in on him.
 Net results of the pursu;' this far have established the fact that Tom Johnson has been seen at four places since the morning of the murders, but that Roy Johnson has not been seen at all and no trace of his where
