 COURT MONDAY All. of the Justices of the Peace in Jefferson County Will Convene in Session \ in This City Next Week
VERY MUCH BUSINESS

The Jefferson County Levying Court will convene in this city Monday morning and much business of vital importance to the taxpayers of this county will come up for disposal. The Court will be in session two days, probably three. It depends largely on the amount of business that IS to be disposed of by that body.
 The Levying Court is composed of all the justices of the peace in Jeffer- son county, numbering forty-two. County Judge James Gould will pre- side over the body during it's sessions. It is stated that the sessions will be held in the county court room at the Jefferson county court house, but in the event that it's proves inadequate to accommodate the members ana spectators, the sessions will be held either in the City Hall or in the Cir cult Court room.
 The Court will levy taxes for the ensuing year, make all necessary ap- propriations and committees will be named to inspect the various county institutions, including the poor house, county jail, pest house and other quar- ters. The recent work done at the court house will also be inspected, it is said, as it is in some parts unsat- isfactory.
 The members of the county levying court follow:
 J. A. Harwell, T. N. Williams, F. s. Robinson, w. Richardson, A. Kauf- man, w. M. Rodgers, c. J. Tucker, L.. V. Bogy, E. w. Barley, R. J. Watkins, J. R. Courtney, D. F. Monk, B. F. Hooker, s. R.

BIC FIRE AT
 K|NCSLAND Two Big Warehouses of E. R. Buster Destroyed by Fire at an Early Hour This Morning.
LOSS IS ABOUT $2o,ooo
Which Is Partially Covered by In- surance-The Origin of the Fire Is UnknOWn-Both Warehouses Were Filled With Goods.

News was received in this city this morning of big fire at Kingsland, a station on the Cotton Belt about 30 miles south of Pine Bluff, at an early hour, at which time two big warehouses with their contents, the property of B. R. Buster, were to- tally destroyed.
 meuiately north of the Cotton Belt tracks, and no other property was injured.
 One of the warehouses was an ironclad building, 35 110 feet and was filled with a reserve stock of dry goods, groceries, etc., while the other was an iron-roof frame building, 30 110 feet and was fill with furniture, wagons and bug gies, all of which were destroyed.
 In conservation with MT. Buster over the long distance telephone at noon today, MT. Buster stated to the Graphic that he estimated his loss at 100000, which is partial ly covered by blanket insurance policy, but that it would be neces- sary to take an invoice to the stock on hand before the loss could be definitely ascertained.
 The origin of the fire is unknown. It occurred at 4 o'clock this morning and when it was discovered the in terior of the warehouse was a seeth- ing mass of flames.
 MT. Buster is one of the most en- terprising merchants in this state, and his many Pine Bluff friends, among whom the Graphic counts it. self to be numbered, will sincerely regret his big loss It. is also ser ious blow to Kingsland, for it must be admitted that MT. Buster is the most of Kingsland and carried stock of goods that would have done credit to a much larger place.

Mclllhenny, of New Iberia, La, and John M. Parker of New Orleans. During his time in camp the presl- dent will communicate as little as possible with the outer world, and only the most important matters will be brought to his attention.
 The Pine Bluff and Little Rock delegations were fortunate in se- curing seats near the stage upon which the president and other nota- bles were seated. The introduction of President Roosevelt brought forth deafen1ng shouts from mighty multitude. Never before in the history of the United States has such enthusiasm been shown in a Southern city welcoming a chief exc cutive. 'Democrts and Republicans, with members of almost every other political party known to politicians. joined together in an effort to im- press upon President Roosevelt that their chief aim was to secure deep waterway from the Lakes to the Gulf. It was evident that Roose- welt realized the one-voiced senti- ment and in his speech he expressed himself as being heartily in favor of the much needed improvement
 Among the Pine Bluffians who were sent as delegates to the con- vention were: Captain s. Geisreiter Cptain Leon. Levy, Doctor J. l. Caldwell and others.
 The city is literally damned with people and all hotels are filled. The Business Mems League is caring for visitors however and all are being given shelter. Nothing occurred to. day thus far to mar the pleasure of the Occaslon.

COMMISSIONERS TO
 SUE COTTON BELT
Result of Failure to Inaugurate Little Rock-Gillette Train
 The Cause

The Arkansas Railroad Ccnr!is- sion says the Little Rock Gazette, yesterday decided to institute suit against the Cotton Belt under the Black bill to inflict penalty for failure of the road to inaugurate ad- ditional Gillette to Little Rock pas senger service October 1, as ordered by the commission.
 Suit will be instituted under sec tion of the act, which is as fol- lows.
 Any railroad company, lessee or operator of the same which shall fail or refuse to comply with the findings, decrees and mandates of the said Railroad Commission with in the time specified therein, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be proceeded against by the district prosecuting attorney in any court having competent juris- dlction and upon conviction shall be fined in any sum not less than $25 or more than $100 and every day of such violation, refusal, fail ure or neglect shall constitute d separate offense. Provided, no or der for doing anything herein above provided until all parties concerned shall receive ten days notice of such proposed change
 No reason has ever been given for the failure to put on this additional train. When Consul General Wool dridge of Pine Bluff was question ed. he stated that the matter was entirely with the management.
 A similar train was once operated by the Cotton Belt, and that road contended that it did not pay. At the hearing when the commission ordered in the new train, an official of the company remarked that the one formerly operated had always been maintained at loss and had cost the company many thousands of dollars per year. This was denied by petitioners for the train. wm /

Jack London Repudiates Rooseveltr
 Criticism ns "Nnture Fakir."
 SAN FRANCISCO, June 11.-Jack London has been heard from in reply to President Roosevelt's criticism of him as a mature fakir" A letter from Honolulu, dated June 1. says that Lon don was at Pearl Harbor or his yacht He was shown the magazine with Mir. Roosevelt's remarks about his state ments concerning the arctic wolf and the lynx.
 Well" said London, "thank God I am not an authority on anything. I have knocked around the world enough to know one man cannot see 1t all, and because I never saw any particular thing is not reason why 1t may not have happened. I must admit that l have not hunted wolves the way the president las, but I would like to match a bulldog against a wolf and bet with the president on the fight l think the president would lose.
 .The president is evidently a careless reader of my stories. He has rushed into this criticism all twisted around. He says that the lynx in my story killed the dog-wolf That certainly does not tend to show that he is as careful an observer as the magazine article seeks to indicate. My story was about the dog.wolf killing the lynx and eating the body"
