STILL THEY DELAY
And the Indications are That the Light and Water Companies Will Resist the Man. dates of the City Fathers of Pine Bluff.

NotWithst anding the resolutions passed by the city council Ut a special meeting a week ago, the poles of the Citizens Light and Traction company and the Pine Bluff Light and Water company on Fourth avenue are still in the same place. Neither have the water mains been lowered to tho re. Quired depth, nor are any prepara- tions being made by any of the com panies to begin operations. Conse- quently the paving of Fourth avenue is at a stand st H. practically. and unless something is done immediately the work will be greatly hindered.
 It is the opinion of men about town Who are conyersent with the situation that the companies are preparing to resist the mandates of the city At the special meeting representatives of the railroad company, which is do ing the paving, and of the two com- panies affected by the order of the council, were present, and the situa- tiOn was discussed at some length by them. It was clearly shown by the railroad authorities that unless some thing is done soon they will be con-

 Concern.

One of the biggest sales in the his tory of Pine Bluff is drawing to a close at the Southern Salvage com pany's store on Second street. The sale has been going on since February 17, and will be closed next Monday evening, by which time it IS thought most of the surplus stock will have been disposed of. The sale was nee. essary to make room for the new stock which hass been order ed, and which is now beginning to arrive. It VII be installed imme- diately after the close of the sale, and the establishment will then be opened fer business under the name of the W. L.Kline Dry Goods company.

peiied 10 stop work, as they can not put down an acceptable street under present conditions.
 There are some difficulties in the way of removing the poles and low ering the mains which arc sufficient cause for some delay in the matter. but the city officials are wondering what is intended by the companies. r. they intend to fight the order of the council in the courts. they should bring steps to have it set aside. or secure an injunction restraining the city from enforcing it, so that the natter may be settled some other way, or the paving will not be com. rletcd this summer. The companies have as yet been unable to find any place to put their poles, on account of objections from property owners, and the liability of damage suits, and this is probably one cause of the de- lay Manager Bridges of the Pine Bluff Light and Water company stat ed today that his company had not yet made any arrangements for nov ing their poles or lowering their mains.

 IS REACHED
March 6 the Date Agreed Upon fer
 Vote on Jo"1t Statehood.

Washington, Feb. 2S.--The senate agreed to vote on Tll;; statehool bill before adjournmen. on Fri1ay, March 9. The proposition to take the vote at that time was made by MT. Reveridge, and there was little difficulty in reach ln., an understanding
 The suggestion Immediately follow ed a speech in support of the bill bv MT. Hopkins, during the course of which Mr. Hale sugsestei that the territories Were not prepared for statehood, and suggested that thei, admission be deferred.
 Senator Hopkins opened the debate on the statehood bill. He said that the entire country was profoundly in- terested in the proposed admission of two new states, and made plea for the ratification of the action of the senate committee on territories in recommending the consolidat on of lIle tGIIllOIlCS Ol A<tW MSAICO, Al ILC- na, Oklahoma and Indian territories into two states. He especially urged the W sdom of joining Arizona and New Mexico.
 In the course of his remarks MT. Hopkins referred to the Foraker amendment giving Arizona separate vote on the question of admission as 'Sinsidious and dangerous" but when MT. Foraker objected to the Ian guage the Illinois senator withdrew the word "insidious." What he had meant to say was that the adoption of the amendment would not only ac complish the defeat of the object of the pending bill, but would ultimately result in the admission of Arizona as a separate state Mr. Foraker ad- mitted that he hoped to see both New Mexico and Arizona admitted as sop arate states at some time ill the fu ture.

 Reports of river men state that the danger of a cutoff north of here is growing greater every day, and recent inspections of the r.yer bank show that it is caving in rapidly. One lately that the danger is imminent and expressed the belief that the first overflow will cause it's present cmfwy overflow will cause the river to fer sake it's present course and cut off at the narrow point above here
 The situation, in fact, is regarded here as being critical, and many of Pine Bluffs most prominent citizens, as well as experienced river men, be- lieve that steps vii have to be taken at once to prevnet the threatened change of the river channel, if the federal government would save Pine Bluff from the calamity of being cut off entirely from r:ver communication and save the valuable revetment works and other improvements al- ready made here by the federal gov ernment in the past.

POLICE CRAFT
Remarkable Story Told at Trial of
 Woman for Murder.

New York, Feb. 2S-An unusual sit uation, temporarily overshadowing the real issue in the case, confronted the court and jury when the trial of Bertha Claiche, for the murder of Emil Gordon was resumed today.
 This was an inquiry into the part wh ch certain policemen are alleged to have had in Gordon's death. The charges were made at the opening of the trial yesterday by Assistant Dis trict Attorney Ely, that two members of the police force aided the girl in her deed and had promised her immu- nifty. The largest part of the opening day was spent ill Investigating this phase of the case, which, needless to say, has caused tremendous sensa ton.
 Ely brought out the evidence that a letter was sent to Gordon before his death and that after it, S900 was re- ported to be stolen from the body. AL though no evidence was obtained to show who wrote the letter or took the money, the prosecutor charged that certain policemen were responsible in both cases and that by the letter, Cor don was lured to a place where he was shot. Bertha Claiche herself ap- parently had only minor part in the first days proceed ngs, except as a spectator She frequently appeared to be greatly agitated, especially dur ing the prosecutors arraignment of the policemen whom he accused.

Ash Wednesday marked the clos. ing of the social season, and the be- ginning of that season when mans thoughts are supposed to turn more towards the serious side of life, and he lays aside for the time Ing his pleasures and gayeties. From now till Easter Sunday, when the world and it's people will blossom forth afresh in their new spring garb, the devout and penitent are supposed to medi. tate over their sins, and prepare to live better fe in the future.
 The forty days period of repent ance will not be generally observed in Pine Bluff, the Catholic and Epi2co- pal churches being the only ones that nave prepared to hold special ser vices for the occasion Although tte other churches do not formally oh serve the season of Lent, yet 1t is not without it's influence upon their members, and even upon those wto are not identified with any religious organization. The social life of the city will be more quiet, and the gay whirl VII cease for time. For so. ciety will cast aside it's gorgeous. gilt tering garb to wrap around its world ly self mantles of denial and righte- ousness.
