 DenunciatiOns.

house last night at which relief for the sufferers was discussed Mir. E. B. Bloom took the floor and in rousing talk told of the repeated fail- ure of the Water X Light Company to comply with it's contract with the city and it's citizens and of it's unreliability in every way, of the thousands of dollars lost to the people by fires through the failure of the water company to furnish adequate water protection. It was soon evidenced that MT. Bloom i'll his denunciation of the water com pany and it's management, was ex pressing the sentiment of all those present, by the manner in which his speech was applauded, at the conclusion of which Mir. Bloom of fered the following resolutions:
 That the citizens of Pine Bluff. Arkansas, in mass meeting assem- bled, hereby demand of our honor able city iouncil that it take all the steps necessary looking to the formation of an improvement dis trict of the whole city of Pine Bluff, for the purpose of building, main taining and operating water plant adequate to the present and future needs of the city.
 Upon motion to adopt the resolu- tion, rising vote was called for and every man in the house imme- diately sprang to his feet.
 A count of those present number ed more than one hundred and fifty of the leading business men and financiers of the city as we'll as large number of working men and it was the unanimous opinion that such petition necessary to form such district could be gotten up embracing large majority in value of the real estate of the city.
 On motion, the sympathy of the meeting was extended to the family of John Springer, who lost his life by being run over by train, while assisting in the removal of house. hold goods from some of the burn ing houses.
 On motion all patrons of the water company were requested to tender to the water company pay ment for water on the basis of the rate fixed by the city council at it's last meeting and that they should refuse to pay any more and should the said water company refuse to accept such tender that those pres ent would stand behind each and every person in their effort to con- pei such acceptance and in pre- venting the water company from shutting off their supply of water.
 City Attorney w. F. Coleman was requested to make close study of the contract between the city and the water company with a view of reporting to the council at It's next meeting its vulnerable points.

GARY PREDICTS
RENEWAL Of
PROSPERITY
CHAIRMAN OF STEEL
TRUST IS OPTIMISTIC
Sale Of Seven Billion Dollars
Worth of Crops in Next Few
Weeks viii Put Country On
Its Feet,

New York, Sept. 16.-E. b. Gary
chairman of the board of directors of
the United States Steel corporation,
took an optimistic view of the busi-
ness outlook in an interview today.
He declared that general quickening
of business will follow the sale of the
$1,000, 100000 worth of crops which
he expects to take place within a few
weeks If the weather remains favora-
Bile. In the near future, he added, the
public will realize that not in ten
years have we had such chance to
pick up good securities. When that
time comes, he said, companies will
be enabled to raise funds for renew
ais and extension.
Judge Gary continued: ''To me the
general situation is that this country
was I'm need of between $500, 600, 90
and one billion dollars additional
capital and could not get 1t. The next
best thing happened, which was a
slowing down. If favorable weather
continues for the next two or three
weeks, we will get seven billion dol
lars for our crops. That will keep
the railroads busy. The railroads. must
order new cars and rails and a general
auickening of business will follow. In
my opinion the forthcoming presiden-
tial election has been discounted ear
lier than usual and 1t has been re-
ftected in falling prices of securities"
