MRS. l.. A, LAMBERT
 HEAVIEST LOSER.
East End Fire Wiped Out Her Hotel, Four Cottages and Her Private Homc-Only $7,iOO In-
 SllfNncC,

One of the heaviest losers in the recent East End fire was Mrs. l.. A. Lampert, who lost the three-story lampert Hotel on East Third ave- nue, four five and six-room cottages in the same block, and a new, hand somely furnished residence at Ohio street and East Second avenue Mrs. Lampert places her loss at S20,O00. She carried a total of $7,4OO insurance, which included policies on the household goods and 1 buildings.
 Mrs. Lampert stated this morn ing that she had decided not to re- build the Lampert Hotel. 'I will build cottages instead," she said 'for I believe that cottages are much better investment, consider ing the fact that other hotels are to be erected in the burned district'
 The Lampert Hotel was a land mark in the Eastern suburbs of Pine Bluff. For many years that place was the mecca for all the rail- road men, train crews and others who were employed at East End plants, including several hundred employees of the Cotton Belt shops. There is hardly a man from one end of the Cotton Belt system to the other who has not been at some time or other a guest at the Lampert Hotel in the past twenty years,

w. T. McFadden Makes Proposition to County Judge Gould and Git izens Win Meet to Con.
 slider It.

County Judge James Gould has called meeting of interested citi- zens at o'clock Thursday after noon to discuss free ferry across the Arkansas river at or near this point. A letter received by Judge Gould from w. T. McFadden, in which he submits a proposition for the free ferry service, follows:
 Your letter asking me what I would charge to maintain a free ferry at a point on the Arkansas river at or near the Walker place received, and in reply will say that if you will give me $2,O00 per year, to be paid in equal monthly install ments, I will operate at this point free ferry and guarantee to trans fer the public across, except at very extreme high water, at intervals of not less than thirty minutes; and have in operation boats enough to handle the traffic.

ALL FAVOR THE
 LEVEE BILL.
Jefferson County Legislators and Oth- CTS Favor the Measure Requiring the State to Maintain Its
 Own Leyee On Cum.
 minS Farm.

Senator H. K Toney, Representa- tives w. B. Penny and s. J. Hunt. three of the principal members of the Legislature from this county, yester- day announced themselves as hearti- ly in favor of the bill which is to be presented for passage this week re- quiring the state to maintain and re- pair its levee front along the rivel' on the Cummins convict farm, re- lieving the property owners of De- sha, Lincoln, Jefferson and other coun- ties of the tax burden.
 Colonel Gus Waterman, of Dumas, who is in the city today, says the bill is favored by every business man, planter, and legislator in Southeast Arkansas. Colonel Waterman is pres. dent of the Linwood and Auburn Le- vee District and is the best posted man On levee affairs in the state. He declares that it would be useless to replant crop of cotton or corn n the convict farm before repairing the levee there. he place will overflow, 1t s stated, when another rise of the Arkansas is registered. The weak places in the levee on the convict farm cannot withstand the treacherous wa |ters, leyee experts say.

Governors in Nearly Score of States Expected to Sign Bills Making Travel Cheaper.
THEY ALL FAVOR TT
Arkansas and West Virginia Have Put It Right Up To Their Coyern- Ors, and Other States Vist Do So, Too.

Chicago, Feb. 1S.-The cent
 railroad fare crusade is sweeping throughout the United States. Tn nearly score of state Legislatures, bill fixing the minimum rate for the carrying of passengers on railroads at two cents per mile are pending. In most of these states the bill seems certain to be passed. Ohio led the way year ago by passing the two- cent fare law. Already this year, the legislatures of West Virginia, and Arkansas, have sent two-cent fare bills to the governors for their sigma lures. In Iowa. Indiana, Missouri and Pennsylvania, the two-cent bill has passed one or both of the houses of the legislature. Following is sum- mary of the status of the two-cent fare legislation in the various states: 1 Arkansas-Passed without giving the railroads chance to present their ] side of the case.
 lndiana-Senate bill making a pas- senger ticket, rate, of two cents a mile and two and one-half cents when collected on the trains, passed house, final passage certain. 1oWa-Passed house on Tuesday. Now before the railroad committee o. the senate; may be held there until action is taken by the Railroad Con- mission of Wisconsin on similar bill now before that commission.
 Illinois-BiVs pending before house; committee not yet reported. :
 Kansas-Bill pending in one branch of the legislature.
 Minnesota-Pending before the sen- ate committee on railroads.
 Missouri-House and senate bo.h passed bills, being prepared by goy- ernor.
 Nebraska-Bill drafted by joint house and senate committee; boih houses favorable to bill
 North Carolina-House passed two cent bill; senate considering two and one-half cent bill.
 Ohio-Two cent fare bill passed in spring of 1906.
 Oklahoma-Two-cent proviso will be included in the constitution if the plans of the constitutional conven- tiOn carry
 Pennsylvania-House passed two cent bill; goes to the senate.
 West Virginia-Two-cent fare bill passed by both houses of the legisla- ture
 Misunderstanding before the state railroad commission; decision not expected within the next two or three weeks

HUNDREDS VIEW
 EAST END FIRE RUINS
Street Cars Did Land Office Business Sunday-Thousands Visit Burned
 District Throughout the Day.

Notwithstanding the fact that the Citizens Light and Transit Company had extra cars on the East Second and East Sixth avenue lines throughout Sunday. it was unable to accommodate the tremendous crowds who visited the site of the recent East End confiagra- tion. All during the day hundreds If persons, many of whom were visitors from other cities and towns, visited the ruins left by the big fire of We'd nesday. Nine blocks of ashes and wrecked foundations M what support ed ninety homes, churches and hotels, was all that was to be seen, but the curious public went there pust the same and viewed them with as much interest and pleasure as if they were attending a circus
 Men, women and children crowded the street cars from early morn to late at night. Thousands of vehicles, in- cluding autos, carriages, buggies and every kind of conveyance was brought into service by local people. Never before in the history of Pine Bluff have the people of this city manifested so much interest in a public calam- ity. The fire affected more than a thousand people and their friends have cared for them nobly.

MANAGER HAMMETT.
 IN HITLER ROCK Local Manager of the Pine Bluff Telephone Co. In At- tendance at Annual Meet ing of
INDEPENDENT PHONE
Association-Opposition to the Lam- bert Physical Contract Bill and Phone Matters to Be Discussed at Meeting.

Mack Hammett, manager of the Pine Bluff Telephone Company, C.. F. Speed of Texarkana, Doctor R. M. Drum mond of Russellville, and several other representatives of the Arkansas Inde- pendent Telephone Association are at tending the annual meeting of the association, which is being held tt the Marion hotel.
 The meeting will continue today and tomorrow and besides electing of ficers for the next year and selecting a delegate to the national association, which meets in Chicago, June 4, 5, and 6 will investigate the Lambert bill pro- viding physical contact introduced in the house by Senator Lambert of Hot Spring County.
 Between thirty and forty membe.s $ are attending the meeting. The asso- citation will oppose physical contact upon the ground that such a law would destroy the possibility of competition in the toll business and would make practically useless several long-dis- tance lines under way by the indepen- dents.
 Just what steps will be taken re- lating specifically to the Lambert bill has not been determined and will not be until the proposed measure has been thoroughly investigated by the association in the meeting today and tomorrow.
 Mr. Speed said last night that he had telegraphed two Or three times for a copy of the bill, but so far has fail- ed to receive one, and had not been able to find out it's provisions. Very few of the members who arrived in Little Rock last night had seen the bill.
 While the association discusses leg islation and it's effect on the telephone business, the gatherings are supposed to be more in the nature of social convention and the informal discus sion of plans for the operation of local exchanges than anything else.
 } The officers of the association are: Eugene Hail of Ozark, president; Doc tor R. M. Drummond of Russellville, vice president; John B. King, of Tex arkana secretary; P. c. Ewing of Lit flo Rock trnas11ror

Thomas J. Mcbride, of Bastorp. La, ressed the following letter to The hphic, which is self-explanatory:

 associates here we have agreed 'go in there and sink some wells to

 T would be pleased to hear from you further On the matter as I am myself personally willing to go into that territory, but the men with the money are not developing other peo- ple's lands on thier own hook as long as towns through other states and ter rltorles are giving bonuses to develop their lands

 ID OUR MAYOR D. A. Kendall, General Man ager of the Sawyer & Aus tin Lbr. Go. Places Com pany Right With Public.
THE WATER PRESSURE
Of the City Could Be Good at All Times If the Water Company Would Connect Mains to Those of Lumber COmpany-S0me Facts.
February 1 $, 19O7..=

FeDfuafX lS, l9O1.. Hon. J. l.. Caldwell, Mayor of Pine
 Bluff, City.
 Dear Sir: We feel that a great injustice is being done our company by reason of the report which is be- ing spread throughout the city to the effect that we could have fur nished water to prevent the recent disastrous fire in the East End of the city, but that we refused to do so. As you are doubtless aware, we have tried ever since establish ing our plant in your city to get the city and the water company to fur nish us with some water protection by connecting the water mains of the water company with our own private water mains, but the water company has always refused to make such connection. When we originally located our plant here, we were promised by the citiens' committee that such water connec- tion would be furnished us, and again after the fire which destroyed our plant in 1904, we took the ques- tion up with the Board of Trade and tried to get this connection made. The Board promised us if we would rebuild in Pine Bluff they would secure the desired water con- nection for us, but the water com- pany again refused to make the connection.
 Whenever fire has occurred in our neighborhood where hose con- nection could be made with our mains, we have always cheerfully furnished water to extinguish the same without charge, and we shall continue to do so. Under such cir cumstances, we feel aggrieved that anyone should circulate such. a re- port as that above referred to, and We were especially surprised to re- ceive telephone message from you On the subject, showing that you were laboring under the impression that We were connected with the mains of the water company, be- cause we have had the matter of making such connections up with you as secretary of the Board of Trade. We have tried sey- eral times to make it plain to the city and the water company that in case of large fires, a connection with our mains would be very desirable. because we have pumping capac- ity at our plant of four thousand five hu!@2red gallons per minute, which, in case of a break down at the water company's plant, would be sufficient to take care of the c1ty's needs un.il the water compa- ny's plant could be repaired.
 We are paying full city tax on our plant, the same as other citi- zens. and feel that We should be furnished water protection by the city. and trust that the recent dis aster in the East End will cause the water company and the city to realize at this late date. the mutual benefit to be derived by our com pany, the water company and the city from a connection of our mains with the city mains.
 Yours truly,
 & AUSTIN LUMBER
