LOCAL POOL
 ROOM CLOSED Order Issued By Prosecut ing Attorney w. D. Jones and Management Agreed to Cease Operating.
AMICABLE AGREEMENT
City Loses Revenue Of $l,5OO Annu. ally-Grand Jury Called Attention of District Attorney Some Weeks AgO-NO Resistance Offered.

Acting under an edict issued yes terday by Prosecuting Attorney w. D. Jones, whose attention was called to the matter some weeks ago by tue Jefferson County Grand Jury the managers of the poolroom, which has been conducted in an annex to the Antler's hotel for several years. clos their place yesterday and in all prob ability the room will remain closed permanently. One of the managers stated last night that it had not been fully decided as to what course they would pursue. He added that their place of business is closed for the present, at least.
 The order from Prosecuting Attor- ney Jones came as a surprise to To- cal sports and others who frequent ed the place, as it had not been pre- viously stated that it was the inten- tiOn of the district attorney to take any action in the matter, nowith- stading the fact that the Grand Jury called his special attention to the ex- istence of he poolroom weeks ago. Prosecuting Attorney Jones stated last night that his order was to the effect that the poolroom should close and remain closed. The poolroom management, he said, agreed to close their doors and remain closed. This will end the matter unless something new develops in the case to bring about legal proceedings. There will be no cause for such procedure, it is said. The maximum fine for each day the poolroom is kept open in violation of the law is $100.
 In the abolishment of the local pool room the city of Pine Bluff will lose a revenue of $1,500 annually. The place was licensed to do business by the city council, and for that reason the report of the last Grand Jury says, no indictment was returned against the operator.

4Backed By Other Represen- tatives From Jefferson County, Demands Passage of Viaduct Act.
THE BOARD OF TRADE.
Recomends That the City Council Ac. cept Proposition of Railroads to Build Viaduct of Insufficient Width Made Previous Promises.

Notwithstanding the fact that a compromise proposition has been sub mitted to the Pine Bluff Board of Trade and the City Council by the Cotton Belt and Iron Mountain rail- roads, in which they agree to build a yiaduct for pedestrians over their tacks in the eastern part of the city, provided the bill recently introduced in the Senate by Senator H. K. Toney, of this city, is withdrawn, the repre- sentatives from this county in the Legislature declare that it is their in- tention to urge the passage of the bill without further delay.
 At meeting of the Board of Trade, called specially for that purpose, Fri day afternoon, Judge w. T. Wool- ridge, of the law firm of Bridges, Woolridge and Can't, counsel for the railroads, apepared and submitted the proposition. He stated that the rail- roads declare that their relations with Pine Bluff just now are of most friendly nature, but that in the event Toney, is passed, they will be com- pelled to fight the law in the courts to avoid complying with it.
 Will Build Viaduct.
 The railroads agree to 'ouild via duct for pedestrians over their tracks in the East End and to have it cOm- pleted by July 1. The viaduct, how ever, will not be more than eight feet wide, and would not be of suf-

matter until Tuesday morning, c1n- tending that he would insist that his bill be given consideration in the senatorial chamber on that day. It is also stated that Representatives Hunt and Penny both favor the bill aad are strong in their intention D secure the immediate passage of the measure as Senator Toney and Representative Powell. In fact, the entire delaga- tion from Jefferson County are unite;; in behalf of the measure.
 Promised Once Before.
 Senator Tone:' sla..l that the rail- roads promised four years ago tc erect viaduct in the East End. They have never made their promise good He declares that the bi:: may Ee amended before it's passage to compel the railroads to cree a viaduct even wider than the one originally planned. He is willing to conccde to wooden structure, which must be maintained 'hy the railroads a,d kept in good condition. A wool.a viaduct, with all approaches, wculd cost in the neighborhood of sS,o0O. A steel via duct, contractors ast;lla,s, will cost $18,O0O.
 "Only Optional" Says Rowell.
 Representative Powell says the written agreement of the railroads to erect the viaduct does not meet with his approval. "It would only be op- tional on their part" he said, Ito build whenever they saw fit to do SO, and then they could build whatever viaduct they, and not the people of this city, deemed best. If the law is adopted requiring them to build the viaduct, it will be built as it should and without any further promises or delay.''
 Viaduct Badly Needed.
 At all events the people of Pine Bluff are of one opinion-that the viaduct is badly needed for the safe- ty of hundreds of school children and others, and the sooner it is erected the better. You can put me down as saying that the viaduct bill must be a law" said Senator Toney yesterday in discussing the matter. Il will call it up in the Senate Tuesday morning, compromise or no compromise
