Anti. Future Law Causes Local Office 10 Close

The Pine Bluff office of Walter Cotter and company will close to- morrow at noon and the business of this company will be discon- tinued temporarily at least. The office is to be moved to Little Rock, where the business of the company is to be carried on in the future. It is the purpose of the company to move other branch of- fees at Dermott and Hot Springs to Little Rock, that all of the busi- ness of the concern be centralized.
 Manager A. T. Bell, of the local office, and Roy Wilson, the tel egrapher, will go to Little Rock to- morrow afternoon, where they will be connected with the Little Rock office.
 Manager Bell stated today that the recent anti-future bill, passed by the legislature and now in the hands of Acting Governor Moore, who will sign it, is largely re- sponsible for the closing of the various branch offices of his com- pany. We want to know where we are," he said, "and by cen tralizing the business of the com pany we will be in a better posi- tion to know what to do.''
 It is apparent that the anti-fu- ture bill is beginning to get in the

The court calendar shows that for the days Immediately suc- ceeding April 1 cases of great con- sequence have not been set for trial, which would indicate the state at least is not figuring on a continuance.

tensified by the fact hat no comprom- lse had been affected with the repre- sentatives of the 15,O00 locomotive fire men who are in Chicago negotiating for higher wages and an eight-hour day. Another conference was held yesterday between the General Man. asers' association and the committee
 representing the fremen, but nothing
 in the way of settlement was ac-
 complished.
 Secretary Slason Thompson of the
 General Managers association said: We are waiting to see what the gov ernment will do We do not expect to hear directly in answer to our re-
 quest that the whole difficulty should
 be arbitrated along the lines suggest
 ed by the Erdman act, but We believe that when the labor leaders involved in the trouble receive word from Washington that the government has been asked to take hand in the mat ter, that the representatives of the unions will look at the matter in differnt light and will be willing to submit the question to arbitration. We are not looking for trouble, but we have made all the concessions that we can afford to make under the pres ent conditions, and the sooner the men become reconciled to this the bet

s9oasible for the overflow.
 The plaintiff charges that the rail road company by strengthening it's roadbed and raising it, during the flood, so held the back water from the Arkansas as to finally cause a general overflow over the Gibson and other plantations The case hinges on the questions as to whether or not the oY- eFfioW would have occurred had there been no roadbed at that point at all and whether the overflow on the Gib- son plantation was really caused by the improper construction of the road bed, in that it was made too high and strong.
 The case was argued today by the opposing attorneys. Judge Grace will instruct the jury this afternoon and a verdict is expected before night. Fifteen negro farm hands gave testi- mony yesterday. Among the others WI. , were on the witness stand during the rial were: Doctor A. +. Sherrill, l.. K Brodie, Louis Altheimer, c. H. Lephiew, J. M Tucker, Lee M Quat- tlebaum, G. W. Morrow, T. c.

Strike Will "Tie up'' Trains in and
 Out of Pine bluff...Situaiion Grave

The controversy oyer a wage scale between the general managers of the Western roads and their employes in the train service cannot be arbitrated, and the only way in which a strike can be averted is for the officials of the roads to make terms with the men. If the strike is announced 1t will materially effect conductors and trainmen entering Pine Bluff on all railroads and may tie up trains in and out of this city.
 This is the ultimatum passed by the representatives of the two unions in vOlVed in the difficulty after a meeting held in Chicago last night to consider the action of the railroads in assent ing to the federal government to in- tervene and endeayor to bring about a settlement by mediation along the lines provided by the Erdman act. The movement by the general man. agers to have the matter adjusted by arbitration was considered at consid- erable length by the union represen- tatives, but the proposition was finally rejected and resolution passed re- fusing to arbitrate the wage scale question with anybody.

them to enter 2 Protestant church. believe that there many peo-
 pie in Pine Bluff who will testify
 that have been present several
 times ill Protestant churches and
 in the Jewish synagogue. If cer-
 tain Catholics cid not accept Mr. Cline,s invitation to hear him preach, they probably had extra good reasons. As rule Catholics | do not go to Protestant or Jewish churches to get their religion any more than they go to a neighbor's house to get their breakfast or dinner. Old Doctor Spurgecn of London, one of the ablest Baptist 1 divines of the world, used to say that he viewed with suspicion the presence in his church of members ! of other churches except on special l occasions and that if the. per severed in coming, ne would make an effort to learn from them their reasons.
 Another statement of the Rev MT. Cline is that I have refused to affiliate with the Protestant min istry of the city. I have the im-
 pression that I was present at the
 Merrill Institute when the labor
 meeting was held a month ago and affiliated with several non-Catho-
 lie ministers, including the Jew ish rabbi Nor is that the only oc-
 casion. If it be meant that I am
 not member of the Ministerial Association of Pine Bluff, it should
 be easy to see why I am not a member. Generally speaking, though
 not always, it has been conducted
 as strictly Protestant association.
 I have never been invited to be-
 come member of it. Several
 years ago I offered to enter pro-
 vided that the regulations were
 broadened sufficiently to allow
 Catholic and Jewish ministers to
 act consistently with their re-
 ligious belief. As a rule the Protes-
 tant ministry believe that they can
 best carry out ttheir ideas when working according to strictly Protestant ideals. I do not censure them, nor an l aware that they censure me. If my good friends: Dr. Norris. Dr. Ramsey, Dr. Buck her or Dr. F'risch will come to St. Joseph's church next Sunday morn- ing and celebrate mass for me, will agree to go to their house of worship and hold the fort for them. But what can be thought of a man like the Rev. MT. Norris, who, in this twentieth century of en- lightenment, when everybody who has the good of society at heart, is striving to remove the stumbling blocks of separation, will devote Sunday after Sunday to a villifica- tion of recognized Christian
 church and that by means of state
 ments called from old A. P. A. books, which mere child should ! not venture to make!

new RUNNER
FROM SWEDEN
JOHN SWANBERG, SWEDISH
CHAMPION, BEsTS DUNCAN OF
ENGLAND IN A SERIES OF DIS
LANCE EVENTS.

NEW YORK, Nov. 8.-Recent
mail advices from Sweden record
some wonderful running in that far
off land by John Swanberg, the little
Swedish champion, who finished sec
ond in both the f1ve-mile run and
Marathon race of Athens last year.
In a match race at Stockholm against
John Duncan, the four-mile cham
pion of England, Swanberg, ran FIVE
miles in the wonderful time of "a
minutes AZ 3-5 seconds, beating Dun
can by nearly an eighth of a mile.
To appreciate Swanberg's feat it
is only necessary to dissect the race
mile by mile. He led from the start,
passing the first mile in 4:41 3-5.
He reached the second mile post
minutes and AZ 2-5 seconds later, or
1925 for the first two miles. Tits is
nearly three seconds faster than the
American two-mile record (9:27-4-5)
by Alex Grant.
The hot pace did not daunt Swan
berg bit, but he reeled off the third
mile in 500 As, or 14:25 As for
the three miles. At this point he
led Duncan by 70 yards, and the
Briton was almost groggy.
Swanberg ran the fourth mile in
5:12 As, making his total time to
that point 1925 3-5. In the last
quarter mile the sturdy Swede made
a glorious sprint, leaving the Eng
lishman far in the rear and creating
great enthusiasm among the throng
of his countrymen present This
mile he negotiated in 500.
A few days later Swanberg and
Duncan met again in a race at 5000
meters (three miles and about 200
yards) Again the doughty Swede
was victorious, winning by about 90
yards in Is minutes 26 Us seconds.

state at once looked to Borah as it's

pressed under orders from Washing

but after Haywood's acquittal the
department of justice began a most
vigorous prosecution of his case.
Senator Borah demanded a separate
and immediate trial, and this was
accorded him. He was acquitted so
promptly that he was given a tre-

Boise and received congratulations
from all sections of the country.

JAPAN RESTRICTS
EMIGRATION
DESIRING TO AVOID FURTHER
INTERNATIONAL COMPLICA-
TIONS OVER EMIGRATION THE
EMPIRE PLANS STRICT SUPER
VISION.

YOKOHAMA, Japan, Nov. S.-The
governments desire to avoid future
emigration complications is shown
by the restrictions just placed upon
the emigration companies. The en-
forcement of the deposit of $4,000
yen has already brought about the
dissolution of six of the more ire
sponsible companies which have fat
tened off the business to Hawaii and
California.
1t is believed number of others
will collapse on account of this de-
post and the prospect of stricter
government regulations involved in
the newly created colonial bureau OF
the foreign Office, whose business
will be to supervise all emigration.
Thirty companies have been actively
engaged and probably half will be
eliminated
Realizing that the trouble in the
United States and Canada comes
primarily from the Japanese leaving
Hawaii, the government has issued
orders restricting the number that
each company may send to Hawaii
to 35 per month, of whom not more

The prospect of strict government
supervision is not enjoyed by the
companies, who anticipate the de-
struction of a hitherto lucrative bus
mess. The press generally indorses
1T, on the ground that it insures the
proper protection of Japanese emil
grants at the hands of companies and
will serve to remove the possibility
of international complications.
A substantial movement to divert
the emigration stream to Corea is
seen in the organization, with gov
ernmental approval, of the Oriental
Colonial company, which Baron

spirits. The company plans to pur-
chase waste Corean lands for lease or
sale to Japanese immigrants on easy
terms. The movement has Marquis
