WHARF AND FERRY
 WERE PLANNED Board of Trade Members Met Yesterday and Re- ceived Reports of Public Works Committee
IT WILL BE COSTLY
Estimated That Landing Will Cost $4,S0O-Free Ferry Propositions Made and May Be SuccessfulETo
 Operate at Old Bell Ferry Landing,

At the meeting of the directors of
 the Pine Bluff Board of Trade yester-
 day afternoon w. T. McFaCdea offered to operate a free ferry near the place
 where the old Bell ferry wa, operated
 fo" $2,400 a year, and as tire right of \ way for landings will cost s400, the
 total expense of operating a ferry Will
 ba5 $2,800 year. B. B. Bloom, chair
 mar of the committee on pubic works,
 reported that according to estimates
 and plans prepared by City Engineer
 w. J. Parkes, the total cost of con-
 structing new boat landing in this
 city will be $4,30O.
 A large number of directors of the
 Board of Trade were present at the
 meeting, held in the Board of Trade
 rooms at 3 o'clock. Chairman D. B.
 Bloom of the public works committee
 reported that to get the proposed wharf
 it will be necessary to secure two very
 narrow strips of land, one 50 feet long, '>west of the present wharf and belong x ing to Joe Krumpner, and the other
 100 feet long east of the present boat
 landing and the property of a man
 named Culpepper.
 If the wharf is paved as is desired, it must be protected at the waters edge by tiling. This will make the total cost of the wharf $4,300 The public works committee was instruct ed to go before the city council last night and see what they would do and what help the city could offer to secure a suitable wharf. The com mittee appeared before the city coun- cil, but the matter was referred to the Board of Public Affairs by the city fathers.
 w. T. McFadden submitted a written proposition to operate free ferry near the old Bell ferry for $2,400 a year. Henry Cady proposed to furnish the right of way for the ferry land ings on both sides of the river for one year for $400. A motion was made and seconded that the proposi- tions of w. T. McFadden and Henry Cady be accepted, on the condition ] that the committee is successful in raising the necessary funds, and make a satisfactory contract with them. The committee from the Board o!
 Trade, appointed for the purpose o1 l raising the funds necessary for the maintenance of the free ferry has been 1 doing good work lately, and the amount which has already been sub' scribed is $1,S96, and they confidently expect to have the rest subscribed ir 1 les time than two weeks. John Tenn pie, one of the committee, when seer
 this morning said that they would have no trouble in raising the none!
 and that they expected to have the
 contract let in less than two weeks
 There is only a balance of $9O4 to b'
 raised, and as the merchants are sub
 scribing literally and as only small
 portion of them have been seen, there
 should be no trouble in raising ths
 reQuired amount.

STUCK TO FRANCE.
Roosevelt Alone Made AIgeciras Con-
 ference go Through


 ference go Through.
 New York, Feb. 2s.--A special to The Times from Paris says that some surprising statements in regard to the recent Moroccan crisis and the course taken with respect to 1t by President Roosevelt and others will be made in next Fridays issue of The Revue des d'Mondes by Andre Jardieu, foreign editor of The Temps.
 NJ. Jardieu deals with the period be- tween January 26 and February 19 1906, when the representatives of France and Germany at Algeciras found it more and more impossible to come to terms.
 Count Witte appealed to Emperor William to give France proof of his conciliatory spirit by accepting the solution offered by her. The emperor positively refused. At the same time President Rooseveit's energetic insis- tence was equally unaskable.
 M. Jardieu says Emperor William himself telegraphed to President Roosevelt to assure that the American Algciras, that IL was approved by Eng land. Russia and Japan and that 1t WIS the duty of the United States to urge France to accept it. In a sec ond telegram Emperor William de- nounced French colonial ambitions and appetites. Finally. he sent a third telegram affirming explicitly that Italy. Russia, England and Spain had aban- doned France and that the United Sites alone supported her.
 According to M. Jardieu's story, President Roosevelt in reply to the emperop's three telegrams sent three categorical refusals to accept his views The president not only declared the Austrian scheme unacceptable but af- firmed that if the Monroe Doctrine had not prevented his intervention, he would have actively cOmbatted the scheme as being the beginning of the division of Morocco by means of spheres of influence.
 Mr. Roosevelt. however, reminded the emperor that he stuck to his own project. He added that France had made a great concession in accepting the inspection, and that 1t now be- hooved Germany to recognize it.

former comptroller of the currency

is at work TO undermine the Illinois
enthusiasm for Speaker Cannon for
