Said to Have Been Secured
 by the Pine Bluff Light and Water Company for
 it's New Plant.
OTHERS ARE OFFERED
Recent Agreement Between City tnd
 Water Company Provides For New
 Plant and Work Begin Immedi- II ately.
NE s'sr' .

The Pine Bluff Light and Water Company is seriously considering 5 the proposition of building a man. both waterworks and light plant, to take the place of the present one, on the site of the Bluff City Lumber Company's plant, which was recently destroyed by fire in the western suburbs of the city, be- tween Third and Fourth avenue.
 It was stated yesterday that the company had secured options on several suitable sites in the western part of the city, but the one on which formerly stood the Bluff City's plant is the most desirable.
 President Bridges stated yester day that the company had not fully decided as to the location of the new plant. Work will begin on the new plant as soon as arrangements are completed and the property pur- chased. Property adjacent to the railroads, either the Cotton Belt or 1th 9 Mountain, is preferable. The H4lnff City Lumber Company's pro- |perty is between the two railroads and would be a convenient spot for unloading coal in the event that the new waterworks and light plant is |placed there.
 The agreement recently signed |by the special committee from the City Council and the officials of the Pine Bluff Light and Water Compa- my, whereby all differences between 1.-the city and company were amica- [bly adjusted, resulting in all suits being withdrawn from the courts, provided that the company should tbuild a new waterworks plant and .the intention of the company in that direction was announced yes terday.

SEVEN MILL
 TAX CARRIES $. M. Taylor and Fred l.. Dilley Reelected School Directors Without Oppo- sition.
THE VOTE WAS LIGHT
Only One Ward Voted Against the Levy lncrease-Recent Improve ments and Growth of City De- manded Larger Tax.

$. M. Taylor and Fred l.. Di!ey were reelected school directors of
 Pine Bluff yesterday at the annual
 school election and the seven-mill tax carried almost unanimously. Messrs. Taylor and Dilley were reelected without opposition and no unusual in- terest was manifested in the outcome. Only one ward-the third-voted against the seven-mill tax In all of the other wards the seven-min levy received fattering majorities. There was some opposition to the levy in crease ill the city, but the vote was light in all the warSs and the failure of the voters to turn out probably increase.
 The increase is from five mills to seven. The constitution has prohibited more than five-mill tax Amendment No. 8 to the constitution, which was adopted by an overwhelming vote at the last election, allows any school dis increase in the levy was asked by the Pine Bluff school board for many req sons. The increase in population and the continued improvement in educa tional facilities are two important ones.
 The Pine Bluff school board recently expended $6,Oo0 in improving the Lakeside school and in future the school board will have the interest to pay on the $75,OOO bonds, recently issued for the purpose of erecting the new High school building on South Laurel street. Other incidental ex- penses are increasing all the time and the seven-mill tax will aid the school board materially in meeting the an- nual expenses of the public schools, which aggregate at present in the neighborhood of $40,000. The indebted ness of the school board at present, including the present months sal aries, is estimated to be between $12,- 900 and $14,o0O.
 The reelection of Messrs. Dilley and Taylor yesterday without opposition is high testimonial of their value as members of the school board. Mr. Taylor has been president of the board for some years and MT. Dilley's ad- ministration has been most satisfac- tory The other members of the school board are: w. T. Woodbridge, Mo Hanf, Leo M. Andrews and w. H. Westbrook.

MISS KAUFMAN
 DEAD IN ST LOUIS
Young Pine Bluff Woman Whose Many Kind and Charitable Deeds Will Not Soon Be Forgotten,
 Passed Away Saturday.

Miss Rachel Kaufman, about 46 years old, died in St. Louis yesterday, after an illness of several months. Her death was not wholly unexpected, for she was in feeble health the past several weeks and it was to benefit her health that prompted her to leave this city several weeks ago and go to St. Louis.
 Miss Kaufman leaves three broth CTS, Sol, George and Jake Kaufman, and one sister, Miss Rosa Kaufman, of St. lLouis. Sol Kaufman was formerly in business here, being proprietor of Kaufman's Bazaar. He now lives in Denver. Colo. The body will probably be inferred in St. Louis.
 Miss Kaufman wa sone of the most charitable Jewish women ever in this city. She never forgot the poor and needy. Frequently she visited the homes of sorrow and the novels Of want, carrying with her the necessi- ties. always some dainties for the old or the sweets for the little ones. Modest. retiring, diffident in all mat ters of display she seldom mentioned her charities except to encourage others in this work. Her lofty char acter lived on a plane 50 far above petty jealousies and meanness that she looked with indifference if not with pity upon those little souls who crawl in the dust with envy. Miss Kaufman was good woman with charity as her chief aim in life Her loss is keenly felt here and is deeply regretted by her many friends.

 RISE AGAIN

The river at Little Rock yes terday had a guage of 15.7 feet. If 50 per cent of the rise at Fort Smith should pass Little Rock, the river will go to 8 stage of about 20 feet. The rise due is known as a "dry rise." and is caused by heavy rains in the water sheds Of the riv- CTS tributary to the Arkansas west of Fort Smith.

REPORT RECEIVED FROM UNITED

coUNcIL-soME SEE SINISTER
MOTIVE.

Toxic. February ca report reaching
here from the United States to the effect
that the privy council had met Tuesday
to consider dispatch from Washington,
received here with great surprise, and
some significance. 1t is thought here by
some that the report has been put into
circulation by some careless or irresponsi-
bile source. Others see a sinister motive
aiming to injure the relations between
Japan and America by deliberate false
hood and exageration. 1t is generally felt
by the well-meaning that no care is too
great at this moment when alarmists
are busy at work in America
The Associated Press is informed that
the matted submitted to the privy eoun-
ell last Tuesday was entirely of internal
nature, and nothing to do with diplomatic
affairs Even a slight knowledge of the
constitution of the privy council would
be sufficient TO prevent misrepresentation
like the present.
