BURRO ACTUALLY RUNS
AND TUMbLES BOYS OUT
Special to The Herald.

PASADENA, Feb. 22.-Two boys
named Barton, driving a burro hitched
to a cart today, actually got the minia-
ture mule up to a speed sufficient so
that when he refused to steer and ran
smash into a telephone pole the axle
was broken square off. The boys were
spilled out, but bounded like rubber
balls and were not injured. OF course
there was no runaway, as the burro
was satisfied with the wreck he had
caused. The spill occurred on North
Mentor avenue, and although the speed
ordinance was not violated it was con
sidered that the burro was breaking
the record for his race.

|S II HEARST
 0R |S II HUGHES? Magazine Writer Trying To Excite The Whole Coun- try For Both New York State Men.
OF NEXT YEAR
Expose of Root In Insurance, Expose of C0rtelyou in finances-.Meaning of Hughes Radicalism-A Magazine That Sees Nothing But New York;.

Washington, March 5.-Possibly there was only one Republican in York state whose reputation was such he could be elected governor; possibly there was only one Demo- crat whose reputation was such he could be defeated; Hughes is gov ernof and Hearst is defeated.
 The Broadway Magazine comes out with Header" telling of the solid South still solid; of thirty-nine
 votes electoral from York state; and of things that tell of necessity of another president from the city of New York
 Of Cortelyou it tells of his having been exposed of taking cash from the trusts and the insurance insur- ance outfit to carry on the campaign that elected Roosevelt For this MT. Erwin Wardman of the Review says he cannot aspire to the dignity of fooling the people to making him president.
 Then Root is the "orator extra ordinary to boost the Panama canal and all sorts of things, no matter what has happened. As a
 hired man always, he has got his money. No one denies that Root
 has been paid for all services he has performed. Because of his con nection with many ''brainy things" !" MT. Wardman suspects that Mr. Root will not be seriously consider ! ed by anyone for president to sue ceed Mr. Roosevelt
 But MT. Wardman sees large | light in the bush and a screaming babe in the tangled weeds. It is Charles Evans Hughes, governor of ] York state. To prove that he is a great man, MT. Hughes appears for

page in an easy desk chair, large flat top desk, many pens in sight, presumably to be used for the plain people, and has a bunch of serious papers in his hand, possibly the magazine story. He looks serious and is reported in the story with having insulted everyone who ever voted for him, or at least remem- bered 1t after having done so. His whiskers are prominent in the opera, but he did not bring certain people on the stand in the insurance inquiry.
 For all this it is represented he is now governor, and he is to be Roosevelt's candidate for president when Taft is tanned, Cortelyou is jollied for his last pie, and Hughes is handled by the New York con- tingent for a "shapely" candidate.
 Of course in the magazine the country can not have president

FOR AND AGAINST
 THE BALCH BILL,

A party of Pine Bluff business men and insurance agents went to Little Rock this morning to use their influence to secure the passage of the Balch bill. which means re- peal of certain clause in the anti trust law, which was passed several years ago. The measure is to be taken up tomorrow and the indica- : tions are that there will be lively fight in the Legislative halls when the bill is called. All of the officials and stockholders of the home in- suranee companies in this state op- pose the passage of the Balch bill. while the insurance agents, repre- senting out-of-state companies, fa- vor it. United States Senator Jeff Davis. who is the author of the antitrust law, declares that the >alch bill will not pass.

We can neither buy the present plant nor build new plant without special legislation.
 Therefore, whatever solution of the present situation the people may decide upon, special legislation ere ating an improvement district com posed of the whole city is an absolute sine qua non. This necessity can only be obviated by the prompt and volun- tary making of a new contract. Can we hope for this? Let the Pine Bluff Light and Water Company step to the front and speak. Let their speech be written speech, and written in legal form
 Time is money. Delay is danger ous, very dangerous. Waste of time means loss of power.
 "In conclusion, allow me to suggest that whatever is done should be done through the city council. It is the body chosen by the people for such emergencies and under oath to pro- tect the interests of the city, first, last and all the time. It is the only body to which the legislature will give heed in matters of such public and vital importance It is the bond of union between us as a people and is responsible directly to the people. Let the people rally around the city coun- cil and let the city council determine that it will solve once for all the wa (Continued on Page Four.)

VIADUCT BILL
 SIGNED TODAY
Senator Toney's Pet Measure Be came a Law When Acting Gov ernOr Moore Affixed His Signature This Morn-
 ing.

The East End viaduct bill, re- gently passed by the Legislature at the earnest solicitation of Senator H. K. Toney of this county, became a law this morning when Acting Governor John Ike Moore of Helena signed it. The measure is effective from and after it's passage.
 The viaduct bill requires the Cot ton Belt and Iron Mountain rail- roads to erect a viaduct over its tracks in the eastern suburbs of Pine Bluff, sufficiently wide to ac- commodate pedestrians and wagons. The viaduct must be of steel and will cost about $15,000. The via duct has been needed here for many years and will be of great benefit to the railroads and the pub lie in protecting life and property from passing trains.

Special to the Graphic.
 Little Rock, March 5.-ln spite of the encouraging reports which have been sent out from Corpus Christi regarding the condition of Governor John s. Little, there are persistent rumors in circulation here to the effect that the chief executive is really in a very serious condition and that little improvement has been shown since the day he was stricken while going to his office in the state house, month ago. Press dispatches from Corpus Christi say that the announcement is made there that Governor Little is im- proving again since the relapse which he suffered week ago, but that his physicians will not permit

Declares That Immediate knI,egislation Will Alone
 Relieve Present Water
 Situation.
WATER PLANT GOOD
One of Three Things Ineyitable-City
 Council Is Supreme, He Says, And The Matter Should Be Left 10 That Body.

Mayor John L. Caldwell today ad- dressed an interesting, sensible and host valuable communication to the citizens of Pine Bluff, in which he told of the present water situation Ind made suggestions for immediate felief
 In every detail the letter is good, eommon sense argument. In it the eity..y chief executive says: xVhe inability of the Pine Bluff Light and Water Company to supply he needs of the city, either for fire Apr domestic purposes, has become 1p notorious and alarming that our eople are demanding that something e done for the relief of the city, and bne at once.
 "One of three things has become in- Fita'ble:
 CD The present company or it's bsigns, as a private company, must (build the present plant, making it lequate for the present and future beds of the city, or,
 @ The city, by special legislation, ust rebuild .ne present plant and berate it as municipal plant, or,
 (3) The city, by special legislation, ust build and operate an entirely ew municipal plant, operating as a kstroyer or competitor of the present ant.
 "The first of these three alterna- Fes cannot be successfully adopted hder the existing contract. After
 stormy career of twenty years it es proven itself absolutely made late as present basis of business.
 neither works smoothly for the (eopfe nor the water company. To >Ontinue business with the present mpany or it's assigns, as a private
 operation, the contract should be
 written, either voluntarily, or by
 mpulsion. It would be much more
 emly for the water company to VOL
 tarily come forward and make good
 many promises by proposing new
 Itrument which shall embody in
 htract form what is now floating
 euely in the air.

PAVEMENT FOR
 EAST SECOND
City Council Favored Petition But Wanted Two Side Streets In. cluded and Petition Was Referred Back to Pro.
 perty Owners.

The residents and property own CTS of East Second avenue petition ed the city council last night for the formation of an improvement dis trict for the purpose of paving that avenue between the end of the pave ment at State street to Nebraska the district was placed on it's sec ond reading. The petition was re- ferred back to the petitioners ask ing them that Georgia and Alabama streets, between Second and Third avenues, be included in the im- provement district. Alderman Will liam Nichol stated that it was not his wish nor did he believe it was the wish of the council to in any way discourage the formation of an improvement district on East Sec Ond avenue, as that avenue needed paving badly, but that if Georgia and Alabama streets between Sec ond and Third avenues were not included in this improvement dis trict. it would be many years, possi- bly,, before they were paved. He said a great deal of business was done on these two streets and be- lieved that the property owners on those streets would be glad to be- come taxpayers in the district.

Connection to Be Made Be- tween the Water Company and Sawyer & Austin Mains.
SOME NEW RULES FOR
Board of Public Aiiairs-tlso Given Authority to Dispose of City's Property at ec0nd and State Streets Other Routine Business.

The city council met last night with Mayor Caldwell in the chair. Alderman BOyce, who is sick, was absent. Minutes of last meeting were read and approved.
 Bills presented by the finance committee were allowed and war rants were issued for the payment of the same. The report of the cemetery committee was also ap- proved,
 Alderman Nichol, chairman of the Committee on Public Works, re- ported several bad places in the streets, especially the sidewalks and street crossings along the Iron Mountain railroad. The matter was referred to the city engineer.
 Alderman Dunnington, chairman of the Police Committee, presented the reports of the police judge and chief of police for the month of February. The receipts of the month of February were S1,149.5O.
 Alderman Jordan, chairman of the Water and Light Committee, presented a petition for arc lights at the corners of East Sixth avenue and Ohio street and East Sixth ave- nue and Florida street in front of the Lutheran church. The matter was laid over one week.
 The matter of making a connec- tion of the city water mains with the Sawyer and Austin Lumber com- pany's plant was taken up. It was the opinion of the council that the connection be made; that the Saw yer and Austin plant get fire protec- tiOn when their own plant was dis abled, but in no case would the water at that plant be pumped into the city main because it would come from the log pond and would be in- furious to the health of the city.
 Alderman Hudson, chairman of the Fire Committee, reported that 800 feet of fire hose had been re- ceived from the Manhattan Rubber company of St. Louis, and that the hose was not up to contract and the company will send representative here in few days to remedy the defects.
 Alderman Hightower, chairman of a special committee, presented a resolution providing for monthly and weekly report of the Board of Public Affairs The resolution also provides that the appropriation be divided into separate funds, one for the payment for the work done on the streets, sewers, etc., and the other for the weekly and monthly payroll. The second clause of the resolution provided that $75O be the amount appropriated for the use of the Board of Public Affairs for the year 1907, together with such income as may come from the 3-mill road tax. The resolution was adopted. The Board of Public Af- fairs were given power to act in the sade of the city property at the cor ner of State street and Second ave- nue at sum of $S,0OO. The whole to be paid in cash or on-half cash and the rest in good bankable pa- per, bearing interest.

Tn the meantime the legislature is in session. But the legislature will adjourn in the course of time. When it does adjourn, the ability of the city to compel a new contract will be lost for at least two years The absolutely safe way to secure new and satisfactory contract is to se- cure special legislation as soon as possible, creating the proposed im- provement district.
 'If We adopt either the second or third of the three above alternatives, the same legislation vii be necessary.
