Mty Fathers Decline to Ac- 
 cept the Proposition of the Railroads and Endorse The Toney Bill
NEW LAW PRESENTED
An Act Enlarging the Powers of Cit- ies of the First Class, and Defin- ing the Manner of Their Exercise Woodbridge Present.

The proposition of the Cotton Belt and Iron Mountain railroads to build viaduct in the East End of the city was turned down at the council meet ing last night. The compromise was offered by w. T. Woodbridge of the INV firm of Woodbridge, Bridges and NAtt, counsel for the railroads. He &ead a letter from each company ex- blaming the attitude of the railroads regarding the building of the viaduct. The substance of the communications were the same as in the letters read at the Board of Trade meeting sev- eral days ago.
 It is likely that Senator H. K. Toney will today urge the passage of the viaduct bill in the senate at Little Rock. The bill will be presented as originally drawn.
 The city council declined the prop osition of the railroads on the ground that the viaduct proposed by the rail- roads was not sufficiently wide to ac- commodate wagon traffic. It was also argued that state legislation would more readily secure the proposed and much needed improvement.
 After endorsing the Toney bill, the council approved unanimously the following act, which will be placed before the General Assembly by one of the Jefferson county representa- tives:
 An act enlarging the powers of cities of the first class, and defining ~9le manner of their exercise.
 Be it enacted by the General As sembly of the State of Arkansas:
 Section 1. The city council of cities of the first class within this state shall have power to require any rail- way company or companies owning or operating any railway track or tracks upon Or across any public street or streets of the city, to erect, construct, reconstruct, complete and keep in repair any yiaduct or via- ducts upon or along such street or streets and over or under such track

CONSTABLE MADE
 GOOD HIS THREAT With Fifty Deputies Hot Springs Officer Arrested Bookmakers as Fast as Books Were Opened
RACE MEET TO CLOSE
Arrests Follow First Betting-Others Took Places of Arrested Men and They Too Were Arrested-TO Re. peat Raids Every Day.

Hot Springs, Feb. 5.-Constable Smith yesterday carried out his ; threat of arresting all bookmakers who attempted to begin operations with the opening of the 6O-day race meeting at Hot Springs. With a force of 50 deputies he swooped down upon the track before the first race was run, and as soon as the first bets were taken on the opening race the officers began making arrests. After arresting five bookmakers and their clerks the constable suspended opera tions until the fifth race was run, when other arrests were made. Oth- CTS were ready to take the places of the men arrested, and the betting continued without interruption, five books taking bets on all of the six races.
 Seventeen men, including book makers, sheet-writers and other em-
 ployes, were arrested Each gave bond in the sum of $110. The men submitted to arrest quietly and there was little excitement as a result of the raids.
 1, It is understood that Constable Smith will pursue the same tactics today and each succeeding day un- less he is restrained from doing so by the courts. It is expected that the bookmakers will apply to the chancery court for an injunction to prevent him from interfering with their work
 Following the announcement that the Amis anti-pool selling bill had passed the senate the opinion was ex- pressed here that the race meeting would be called off before the end of the present week.

 tO RcDOrt

Fourteen of the wealthieSt prop. erty owners of this county met in the office of County Judge James Gould at the court house yesterday afternoon and discussed the advisa- bility of digging a canal for drain- age purposes, the object being to drain Cousotte Bayou, three miles southeast of this city. A commit tee was appointed to investigate as to the feasibility of the work, sur vey, law and probable cost.
 The meeting was attended by Major Clifton R. Breckinridge, Mayor John l.. Caldwell, Captain $. Grisreiter, County Judge James Gould, Charles H. Triplett, c. H. Moore, w. B. Alexander, w. H. Langford, J. C. Taylor, A. M. Bar row Sr., Captain J. s. Bell, J. W. Crawford, Fred Fox and R. s. Cherry. Major Breckinridge pre- sided, and the minutes of the meet. ing were recorded by MT.

property owners, the management of the rink was granted it's re- quest.
 In the report of the police judge the cash receipts for the month of January were shown to be $1,- 39625.
 The council revoked its recent order regarding the removal of the night stock-man. Receipts of the city pound show that the stock men more than pay for the expense incurred by the city in their em- ployment. Then, too, it was argued, his employment was of value in re- porting each night on city lights. He will be continued in the serv- ice. The action of the council will meet with the approval of the ladies of the city, who do not wish to have their flower beds destroyed by stray stock. They objected strenuously to the discharge of the night stock-man.

WATER PRESSURE
 MADE GOOD
Mayor Caldwell Sent in Fire Alarm to Test the Force of Water at Prominent Down.
 Town Corner.

To bring about an unexpected test of the water pressure Mayor Caldwell this afternoon sounded a fire alarm from Main and Bar raque streets and immediately aft CT the arrival of the fire boys, they were instructed to attach hose to plugs. The pressure was fairly good, the streams of water being thrown over two-story buildings. The alarm caused no little excite ment over the city and the pres ence of the fire departmnt at such prominent downtown corner naturally attracted a large crowd.

AID. NICHOL "EOT."
Declares That the Water Company
 Has Not One Thing it Agreed to Furnish the City "In Stock"-New
 Pump Will Be Installed in 50 Days
Being assured by Manager E. Cl

Being assured by Manager E. CT Fowles, of the Pine Bluff Light &, Water company, at the council meeting last night, that the water company was prepared to meet any emergency in the way of a fire, and that the water plant would be in first-class condition within the next thirty days or as soon as the new pump, which has capacity of B. 100000 gallons was installed the council took no definite action to better the present water service.
 Manager Fowles stated that the reason of the poor pressure last Saturday night at the Strauss fire was due to the ignorance of the engineer at the plant and com- plete breakdown of the pumps He said that the pumps had been re- paired and that now they could compete with any fire that might occur. He said further that the council need not display any un- easiness in the future, for as soon as the new pump was installed, the plant would be in first-class con- dition.
 Alderman William Nichols said in reply that the water company had made these good promises for the last ten years and that it was time the city council took some im- mediate action to relieve the pres ent water condition throughout the city. He said that only last Friday the officials of he water and light company made the state- ment that they were ready to fight fire and that the water service at last Saturday nights fire was sad disappointment. He did not know what excuse would be given next time, but he was satisfied that some would be given. He said that the water and light company had not one thing Gin stock" which they agreed to give the city; neither gas, electric light nor water.
 Mayor Caldwell and Alderman Boyce thought that the council ought not to be too hard on the company, but give them the thirty days which they ask to install the new pump and then, If the service is not better, it would be time to act.
 Saturday night Mayor Caldwell denounced the negligence of the water company and declared that the service furnished at the Strauss fire was "a shame and disgrace" He added that they should be roasted severely" for their in- ability to furnish pressure sufficient to properly cope with small resi- dence fire.
 Mayor Caldwell again denounced the water company last night. He said his "blood boiled" Saturday night when he witnessed the Strauss fire and saw the poor water service He said the water com pany had made promises before. He also stated that they should be made to give better service.

But first of all there is one secret

which all women do not know-or the

shine brightly. She should polish her
hair and let it stand out well at each
side of her head, making a full set
ting for the eyes.
The woman whose eyes are brown
should treat them in a different way
She should wear tan color or some
other shade of brown. and should wear
brown around her neck and under her
chin. The brown-eyed woman should
dress her hair rather fluffy. She must
not wear it plain and should bring it
