|S THERE AN
 |CE COMBINE? One Official of Consumers Company Says Old Prices Will Prevail, Another Says Directors. Have Not Acted
PERSISTENT RUMORs
That Companies Have Entered Into An Agreement-President Rutherford Will Neither Confirm Nor Deny Them-COnsumers' Plant Closed.

Notwithstanding the denial made by Secretary V. o. Alexander of the Consumers Ice & Coal company, when informed that rumor was in circulation to the effect that a com- bine had been made by that com pany with the Arkansas and Texas Consolidated Ice and Coal company, rumors to that effect continue and they are being circulated all over the city.
 President John F. Rutherford of the Consumers company, when questioned today, said the directors of his company were in charge of the price list governing the sale of ice. The directors have not discuss ed the subject as yet and he stated that he was not at liberty to give out any information as to the in- tention of the Consumers company. He would neither deny nor confirm the rumor of the combine.
 When the Arkansas and Texas Consolidated Ice and Coal company increased the price of ice from fif- teen to forty cents per hundred pounds, Secretary Alexander said the Consumers company would con- tinue to sell ice as heretofore, ten cents per hundred pounds at the plant and fifteen cents per hundred pounds when deliverd.
 At present the Consumers plant is closed down for repairs. The management states that it will re- | sume operation in ten days or two weeks.

SCARLET FEVER
 SITUATION BRIGHT
City Physician Blankenship Says There Is No Necessity of Clos ing the Public Schools as Epidemic Is Under
 Control.

City Physician w. H. Blanken- ship this morning gave out the as- surance that there is no necessity for uneasiness or alarm from the pres- ent scarlet fever epidemic. The dis ease is in a mild form and not one case has resulted seriously.
 All of the cases now under treat ment are we'll qaurantined and ev- cry precaution is being taken to prevent further spread of the fever. All of the patients are little chll- dren.
 There is no necessity, says Doctor Blankenship, of closing the public schools unless the disease continues to spread, which is not likely.

Protest Filed Against TheatOrium Talking Machine By Barraque Street Residents, But It
 Will Continue.

Mayor Caldwell has investigated the alleged public-talking machine nui- sance, operated at No. 11S West Bar raque street by D. S. Wagnon, who is running a theatorium or moving pie ture show at that place. It is alleged by adjoining property owners that the machine was operated on the outside of the building. Mayor Caldwell wis., ited the place and found that the photograph was operated on the in- side of the place and was therefore not a nuisance. The music will con- tinue.

Delegation of Citizens from
 Lincoln County Were In
 Pine Bluff on Their Way From Little Rock.
NO ACCOMMODATIONS
At Warner, They Say-Jurors and Witnesses Are Compelled to Camp On Public Roads and Sleep On Benches In Court House.

M, A. Burnett of Warrenton, h. T. Smith of Tyro, Fred Wood of Grady, and John Collins of Tyro were in Pine Bluff last night on their way to their homes from Lit tie Rock, where they spent yester- day urging the senators and repre- sentatives to enact law authoriZ- ing the removal of the Lincoln cir cult court from Warner to Sta: City or the abolishment of the court sessions at Warner. Ten petitions. with more than 200 signers, have been presented to the legislators in defense of the movement, and John Collins, who is postmaster at Tyro, stated yesterday that as major ity of the senators and members of the lower house expressed them selves in favor of the measure, he had no hesitancy in stating that the place of holding court would be changed at this session of the leg islature.
 Many reasons are advanced by the petitioners in their equest that the court .be moved to Star City. They say there is only one hotel, with no boarding houses in Warner, end that hotel facilities are wholly inadequate. Witnesses and jurors are forced to camp out in the pub lie roads and sleep in the court house on pallets and benches, it is claimed.
 For the past twenty years, it is charged, an effort has been made to buy property at Warner with view to establishing hotel there, but the property owners there would not sell. The Warner district, it is also claimed, is burden on tax payers of Lincoln county and in- creases the indebtedness of the county from 25 per cent to B per cent annually.
 Captain R. R. Rice, the we'll known Warner turman and planter, owns the property in and around Warner, but has frequently declin-

ROADS TO FIGHT
 AGENT RATE LAW
Railway Officials State That Test Proceedings Will Be Instituted in Arkansas, Missouri and
 Alabama.

Though the time is approaching when the two-cent rate bill passed by the Arkansas General Assem- bly, will go into effect, local passen- ger officials state that no move has been made to revise the sheets. The railroads still have time to make over the rate sheets, however, and this is not to be taken as indicative of the stand they will take in the matter.
 It is stated that the railroads will fight the measure on the ground of unconstitutionality. A conference of railway attorneys held in St. Louis last week declared that if the law was complied with it would mean dimunition in profits and consequently confiscation of proper ty. At the close of the conference it was announced that proceedings would be instituted in the courts of Missouri, Arkansas and Alabama.
 The question is whether or not the railroads will comply with the law while fighting it. In the event they do vast amount of work will be heaped upon the office forces of the passenger departments. If the fight of the roads against the law is successful the same confusion and labor would accompany the task of restoring rates to the old basis.
 It is strenuously denied by local passenger officials that the railroads intend to vent their spite upon the public if forced to comply with the provisions of the bill. Later if it is seen that profits decrease mater ially facilities may be curtailed. Until this is proven it is declared that the same service will prevail.

SKATING RINK
 WEDDING Attended By Thousands of Curious Spectators-Was Performed By Justice Jim Frazier.
COUPLE RODE IN AUTO
Reverend Ramsey, of the First Metil-
 Odist Church, Declined to Oificiate
 at the Last Moment-Monsign0r
 Lucey's Denunciation Created Stir.

Nearly two thousand curious spec tators witnessed the much advertised wedding at the Bluff City rink last night, Marshall E. Fall, a local pre- scriptionist, and Miss Lula Scott, who gives her home to be St. Louis, were joined in holy wedock. At the last moment, Reverend T. Y. Ramsey, pas tor of the Main Street Methodist Church, declined to officiate and Jus tice of the Peace James A. Frazier, was hurriedly summoned and he man. aged to reach the rink at the appointed hour. Deputy County Clerk Curran Nichol secured statute book from the county clerks office and with unusual dignity Justice Frazier pronounced the solemn words.
 The attendance at the rink was the largest yet recorded at skatoral hall. Early in the evening the rink began to receive crowds and by 9:15 D. m, the place was literally jammed with a surging mass of eager, curious spectators. Skating was in progress until o'clock when the floor was cleared and all eyes turned to the main entrance. Miss Scott and MT. Falls, accompanied by MT. and Mrs. |. H. Martin, were brought to the
 place in automobiles and marched to the center of the rink to the strains of the familiar Lohengrin wedding march. When Justice Frazier con- cluded the service the principals were cheered to the echo. They then left the rink, accompanied by the rink managers, l.. o. Knox and Felix Smart. The newly welded pair and MT. and Mrs. Martin were later entertained at luncheon.
 MT. Falls says his home is in Nashville, Tenn. He formerly work ed at s. A. Rosenberg's soda foun- tain for few days and is now em- ployed at the Central Pharmacy, OlAJu avenue duu udlA oIACCIs A0 contracting parties did not wear skates during the ceremony. No reason was advanced for Rev. erend Ramsey's sudden refusal to
 officiate at the ceremony. It was
 announced yesterday by the rink
 management that Reverend Ram
 sey would perform the wedding ser-
 vice but just before the wedding
 last night it was stated that he had l declined.
 Monsignor J. M. Lucey's card in
 the Graphic yesterday created a ] sensation when it was@read. Mon- i signor Lucey denounced rink we'd

 tions of marriage rites. Another local minister, after considering the

TO AID ARKANSAS
 >- FIGHT
St. Louis and Memphis Lumber Deal- CTS to Resist Increased Lumber
 RafQS

The lumber dealers of St. Louis and Memphis have joined the Arkansas dealers in their fight upon the recent ly announced Increase in rates upon shipments of lumber within the state of Arkansas Freight bureaus in these two cities and Little Rock are now making an effort to bring about an abolishment of the proposed rates be- fore the order goes into effect, March 1. The new rates seriously affect Pine Bluff dealers.
 The lumber dealers in Memphis and St. Louis realize that they will be heavy sufferers should the railroads persist in their intention. Large quan- titles of lumber are annually shipped to these cities from Arkansas, as the firms which did not abandon the state must necessarily increase prices to keep the margin of profits the same, the result can easily be foreseen.
 The main grounds upon which the dissatisfaction of Arkansas shippers is based seems to be the alleged un- fairness of the new rates. The sheet shows that shipments south of the Arkansas river will be listed at two cents hundred pounds higher than formerly, while shipments in the ter ritory north of the river will suffer an increase of only one cent. Discrimin- ation between Arkansas and other states is also charged.

pany of this city, of which he was
president, committed suicide at his
home here with revolver Mr.. Hip
pies family was at breakfast when he

ried to hospital, but died on the
way. Mr. Ripple was about seventy
years of age and had been in the real

have not yet learned the cause for
the suicide, but believe he brooded
over the tragic ending Of his brothers
life.
At the time Of the suicide Of his
brother Frank and the subsequent
failure Of the trust company Edward

SOLOMON ISLANDS SHAKEN.
Earthquake Changes Entire Appear
ance Of GROUP.

!.
San Francisco, Feb. The Solo
mon islands in the South seas were
visited by fearful earthquake several
months ago and so heavy was the
force of the trembler that the earth
was opened and deep gorges created.
The entire appearance Of the islands
was changed by the great upheaval,
but as far as can be ascertained there
was no loss of life. The news was
brought here by Governor c.. B. l..
Moore, who has arrived here on the
Oceanic company's steamer Sierra
from Samoa. He stated that a trading
schooner came into Apia from the Sol
ONION group shortly before he left for
this country with news of the trem-
bier.
It is deemed probable that the
earthquake that was experienced in
the Solomon islands was the enc re-
corded on the seismographs in vari-
Gus parts of the world According to
he instrument at Apia, Samoa, it
tasted for several minutes and was
said to be the heaviest shock ever
recorded. 1t was figured that it took
place somewhere in the South seas,
but as no report came from any civ
ilized islands it was believed that it
took place at sea.

New York, Feb. z.-The jury to de-

slayer of Stanford White, was COM

selection Of Bernard Gerstman. Sew

that the Jury was about to be COM

were freely used by both the prosecu-

Thaw's counsel continued during
the day to ply the talesmen with ques-
tions as to what consideration they
would give toa plea of insanity. Dur
ing this part Of the examination the
defendant seldom looked at the tales
man. but kept his glance on the table
before him.
