PETITION ID
 BE PRESENTED Municipal Ownership of Wa. terworks To Be Urged By Many Property Owners at Council Meeting Tonight.
THEY MEAN BUSINESS
tlts 10 Be Formed Into Improvement District-Inadequacy of Present Water Service Fully ReaIized-The Movement in Detail.

The movement for the construc. ton of an up to date water works system in the city of Pine Bluff which was started by few of our enterprising citizens the night of the disastrous fire in the East End has been sweeping the city like wild fre and is being pushed by a few gentlemen who generally succeed in their undertakings.
 The people of Pine Bluff have long and patiently suffered the in- justice inflicted upon them by the present owners of the water com- pany and the fire of last Tuesday appears to be the straw that broke the camel's back" and 1t is the opinion of everybody that within sixty days the movement for the city to build and own it's own plant will have taken definite shape and construction practically started.
 At tonight's meeting of the city council petition signed by the re- quired number of property owners will be presented praying for the creation of an improvement dis trict embracing the entire city and those behind the movement stand ready to guarantee the aldermen that within the time prescribed by law majority petition of all the property owners will be ready to present to them.
 Is is seldom that so much ear nestness has been shown in such a movement. There is no doubt but that the people have become thor oughly convinced of the inadequacy of the present company to furnish any kind of fire protection and the people will not depend on them for same any longer. The mass meet ing at the court house on the night of the fire recommended that some action be taken by the city coun- ell and We have no doubt but that body will do everything 1t can to 1 give the people what they want. To- nights meeting promises to be an interesting one and attended by a. large number of citizens.

Hartman will also be in a position to make things lively for the Gould Systems through the fact that the Cot ton Belt has a Fort Worth terminal from which point the Texas & Pacific runs westward to Fl Paso. The liar riman lines at present run from Gal weston to Sierra Blanca, a short dis4 tance east of Fl Paso, where the Southern Pacific joins the Texas Pal clfic at Seirra Blanca.
 Given briefly, the mileage of the St. Louis Southwestern, or Cotton Belt system, is as follows: Main line, 42S.S; Illinois division, 1922; Cairo division, 57.9; New Madrid division, 94.S; Little Rock division, 44.4 Shreye( port division, 61.2; total 77O.5 miles. .
 Also in Texas, Main line 304.9; Fort Worth Line, 154.S; Dallas line 13.7 Sherman line, 52.3; Hillsboro line, 40; Lufkin division, 115.4; total, 6Sl. Grand total, 1,451.6 miles.
 An interesting point for the city G Memphis, in connection with thx deal, will be the route by which the Cotton Belt could get into this city, should Mir. Gould decide to keep Mr. Hartman out, and bar him from the use of the Iron Mountain tracks.
 At present the Cotton Belt is using the Iron Mountain tracks over the bridge and out to Fair Oaks, Ark, a distance of 50 miles, and this gan would have to be bridged, including the river, should the Iron Mountain cancel it's contract with the Cotton Belt.
 In such case, however, is said by local railroad men that the inter- state commerce commission would be qualified to step in and compel some arrangement through which the inter- ruption of established interstate com merce might be obviated.

Air Line From Chicago Through to Galvestion By Way of Pine Bluff Has Been Planned.
GUSTS THE GOULDS
How the GOulds Have the Better of The New York Magnate On Ger tain Lines-HOw Connections Are To Be Made.

Practically authoritative infCrnia. tion to the effect that Edward H. Har riman has obtained abs ,lute control of the Cotton Belt system and it's l. 451 miles of track, was brought to Memphis on Monday by an official of Soe Cotton Belt the news having gone direct from New York to Pine Bluff on Sunday evening, says the Memphis News-Scimitar. Through this acquisi- tion, the Hartman roads will have an air line from Chicago and St. Louis to Galveston, and will also be in position to make matters unpleas- ant for the Gould Texas and Pacific.
 Corroboration to the announcement is found in the fact that Mir. Gould has not owned controlling interest in the Cotton Belt, but has held the command simply through influence over proxies sufficient to bring his control up to 52 per cent of the hold ings. MT. Hartman, however, is now said to have busted MT. Gould from this control and to have assumed the master hand in Cotton Belt affairs himself
 Already in possession of the Illinois Central, the Hartman interests will now be able to connect with the Cot ton Belt at both Thebes and Cairo, the Illinois Central at present enjoying a part interest in the bridge at the for mer place with the Cotton Belt. From , Thebes and Cairo, the Cotton Belt route will be followed to Shreveport, kla, where connection will be made with the Houston and East and West Texas-a Southern Pacific, and there fore a Hartman, property-to Hous- ton.
 From Houston, the line will run over the Southern Pacific to Calves ton.
 Along this stretch of over 1000 miles, the road will enjoy feeders from Memphis and Little Rock now operat- ed by the Cotton Belt, together with connection with other shipping points of enormously profitable freight terri tory.
 In addition to these advantages, Mi

What ClOWry Says
of Chicago Strike

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-"The Chi
cago operators have presented
no grievances and the present
movement is an attempt to en-
force the closed shop rule,
which, if successful, would take
control of the company's affairs
out of its own hands," said Pres
ident Clowry, of the Western
Union Telegraph Company, in an
official statement given out to-
day.
"Such a condition, as has been
repeatedly shown, is inimical to
the confidential and responsible
character Of the company's rela-
ton 70 the United States Gov
ernment and to the public.
"On July 20, an operator at
Los Angeles was charged With
maliciously delaying traffic. As
a careful investigation, which oc-
cupied several days, showed con-
clusively that he was guilty of
deliberately obstructing traffic
on important circuits, he was
discharged. A petition signed by
the other employees was present
ed, and when the signers were
advised that the company would
not tolerate the malicious delay
ing of important messages and
that the discharged operator
could not be re-employed, the
majority Of the operating force
quit worl, without notice. Opera
tors were sent to take their
places from nearby points, and
at IL o'clock last night the opera
tors in the Chicago Office, en-
ployed on the Western circuits,
acting in conformity with reso-
lutiSps understood 10 have been
adopted by the local union or
ganization. refused 10 work with
the non-union men at Los An
geles, and when this was insisted
on, they quit working in a body"
