MANY RAILROAD
 MEN SHELTERLESS
Tents and Blankets Are Taken to MeGehee From Little Rock for the Iron Mountain
 Employees.

McGehee, Noy. 14.-In conse. quenco of the destructive fire, which burned out block in the heart of McGehee last night, the scores of railroad men who ruu into this place are shelterless. Mc(iehee is a division point oi the Iron Mountain, and conse- quently road employees of that line have been spending their nights here. They generally roomed at the Van Noys hotel, which was. among the destroyed structures. Many of the em- ployes boarded at the hotel.
 The Iron Mountain today has been ma king every effort to Care for these employees. Tenting and bedding were immediately ordered from Little Rock, and tonight tents were stretched to prevent the necessity ot the men sleeping in the open air. Gereral Mana. ger Sullivan, Assistant General Manager Higgins and General Superintendent A. DeBernardi are here. At one time it was thought the office building and station of the Iron Mountain would be destroyed, and in re- moving the files many invaluable records were lost ard have not been found.
 The loss is now estimated at $97, ,000, with insurance not to exceed $l0,00O.
 The fire started when a lamp in the rear of w. A. Kennon's saloon exploded. It is presumed it was filled with gasoline in- stead of coal oil. The fire started about s o'clock last night, and burned out at o'clock this morn. ing.

SCOTTISH RITE REUNION CLOSES
Death of Fredrick Webber, a 33d De. gree Mason, Makes Another Election Necessary Ad-
 journed Without Day.

Little Rock, Nov. 15.-After a three days sessiou the Scottish Rite Masons of the Valley of Little Rock concluded their work last night, and adjourned with out day. A class, composed of representative business and pro- fessional men from all sections of tue state, have been elevated to Scottish Rite degrees, and those who attended declare that the sessions just closeed were the most interesting and instructive held iu years. The staff of off cers who conferred the various degrees, from fourth to thirty second, were we'll versed in the ritual, and the ceremonies were most impressive and interesting. Charles E. Rosenbaum, grand sovereign inspector general for Arkansas, the head of Scottish Rite Masons in this state, was present throug hout the reunion, and visitors from various states added materially 10 the pleasures of the occasion.
 Secretary John B. Cowpland, who has held his position for the past IS years, was at the desk throughout the entiae time, and aided in his official capacity in elevating the class.
 The Arkansas consistory IS now composed of some 900 mem bers, one of the largest in the Southern jurisdiction, and possesses the finest home in the South.
 Death of Frederick Webber.
 The death of Frederick Webber recently was the cause of much regret among the high Masons attending the reunion. MT. Web Der, one of the highest Masons in the United States, was secretary of the Supreme Council at the time of his death. The Supreme Council will, at its pleasure, elect another to succeed to his place in the council, which is composed of B thirty. third degree Masons in the United States. And from this thirty-three, s successor to Secre- sary Webber will be elected.
 The Mason who will succeed Mir. Webber as member of the Supreme Council will be selected from the list of honorary thirty third degree Masons in this coun- try. There are IA Masons of this rank in Arkansas, and many others throughout the country. 0. E. Roseubaum is the Arkansas memb Der of the council.
 Many of the Masons returned to their homes last nig ht, while others remained here to visit the flower show at the Hotel Marion.
 All express satisfaction with the resul. of the fall reunion.

United States naval vessels from the
Greensville, Pa, mills of the Shelby
Steel Tube company, by which the
defendants were employed.
Mr.. Dunkle told the jury of the
circumstances of the case including the

PRESIDENT CALHOUN
ISSUES ULTIMATUM
TO RAILWAY EMPLOYEES
BY Associated Press.

by associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 6.-President
Calhoun tonight issued the following
statement:
THE United Railroads hopes that al
its former employees will report tomor-
row morning. 1t recognizes that un-
der the direction of the carmen's
union it will require some courage for
its members to return to work. Those
who do not report by s o'clock are, as
stated in the notice published yester-
day and posted in the car barns, for
mally discharged from the service of
the company.
1.-THE officials of the company have
only the kindest feelings for, its em-
ployes and will cordially welcome their
return. The exact status is that the
union has of its own motion severed
it's relations with the company.
at did this with the full knowledge
that this separation would be perma-
nent. The matter in controversy in
volved no union principle whatever, but
was a mere question of business ad-
justment based on what was fair and
equitable. The members of the union
had perfect right not to work for the
company and the company has per-
feet right, of course, to employ whom
soever it pleases.
1.-THE company hopes the operation
of its cars will not be interfered with
and that it will meet with the assist
ance of all citizens in an effort to re-
establish full service upon its lines. We
have not the slightest feeling of enmity
toward our former employees and sim
cerely hope that those who do not re-
turn to the employment of the COM
pany will find whatever new relations
they establish in other quarters entirely
satisfactory to them.
Will Avoid Strife
ITO the utmost of it's ability, while
fearlessly protecting it's property and
its employees, the company will seek to
avoid strife, and it will do nothing to
create a breach, of the peace. 1t has a
right to expect full protection from the
city and state authorities. Upon this
right it will rely, and the rapidity with
which full service is resumed will de-
pend upon the degree of protection af-
forded by the city and state authori-
ties.

day, which gives you an idea of the
sentiments of my associates:
"'NEW YORK, May 5-Patrick CAL
