tie town and crossroads In the loyal
States of the East was incalculably
cheering, and lifted up the hearts of
the people, comforting the lovers of
the Union and animating them to scout
the croakings of the ill-omened peace
et-any-price advocates.
The skulkers had sedulously circulat-
ed statements that the army was disor-
ganized by the Emancipation Proclama-
ton, ana regiment after regiment was
represented as having abandoned its
colors rather than fight for the negro.
The real soldiers treated this stuff with
the derision 1t deserved. They heartily
approved of the Emancipation Procla-
nation; wished it had been made earlier
and more drastic. The Secessionists
had bet their slaves on the war, and
were using them directly against the
Union army. The sooner they were
taken away from them the better, and
it was no time to be backward about
doing SO.

could count. His squad was fortunate
enough to dig we'll. so they did not
have to drink the filthy water from the
creek. Wirz tried to have the well filed
up, but they kept it so well concealed
that the guards could not find it. Wirz
finally came in with a guard and found
the well, but they surrounded him, and
pleaded with him to show them mercy
and leave them the well. He whipped
out his revolver. cooked it and threat
ened to fire. They told him that they
would all die in little while if they
drank that water. and he said he did
not care if they did: that was just what
he wanted. and what he would do to

FEDERAL CHURCH COUNCIL
TO HOLD SESSION TONIGHT
PhiladeIphlans Welcome Delegates,
and Interesting Program is EX=
pected, Prominent Pastors
Participating

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1.-The pre-
lilninaries to the opening session of the

CITY OWNS S. P.
STOCK WORTH A
MILLION; LOST

Los Angeles and of the city of Los Angeles
to secure their assistance for the passage OF
a bill by the state legislature which would
authorize the subscription of stocks by both
the city OF Los Angeles and the county Of Los
Angeles In accordance with his suggestion
the enabling act for the city Of Los Angeles
was passed and approved February l, 1868.
Under and pursuant to the provisions OF
said act of 1868 the city Of Los Angeles de-
livered its bonds to the amount Of $4,000 to
said railroad company, upon the completion
of its line to San Pedro on March 81, 1910 ana
thereupon there was delivered to the city of
Los Angeles stock in said railroad company OF
tho value of $4,000.
I have made careful examination Of the rec
ords of the various departments of the city
hall, but can find trace of this stock. Even
though this stock be lost 1t would not affect
the city's ownership in the same because the
city can only dispose of this stock or any
portion of 1t after an election is first had for
that purpose and a majority of the voters con-
sent to such transfer, as VIII appear from the
following portion of the act. section is of act
approved February 1, 1858 (Stats. 1s67-6S page
25), and which is part reads as follows
And they shall, by order made for that
purpose, have full power to sell, transfer
and assign the said capital stock, or any
portion thereof, so taken by them under
the provisions of this act, whenever upon
a submission TO the qualified voters Of said
city at any city or general election, of
proposition to sell the same, a majority OF
the votes cast thereon shall approve of
such sale.
And the records show that no such election
was ever called had.
Wherefore as q private property owner of
this city I hereby request that your honorable
body Immediately refer the entire matter to
the city attorney for investigation. and for
the purpose of demanding, by suit, If neces-
sary an accounting and report from the rail-
road company for all past profits. dividends
and earnings. and for the issuance of a new
certificate of stock representing said subscrip-
ton of $4,000 in case the same should have
been lost or strayed.
Nest respectfully yours,
ROBERT C. LoUcKs.

CITIZENS OF PINE BLUFF
H0PELESSLY FIGHT FLOOD
Five Million Dollars Worth Property
Hangs in Balance, Expected
to Slide Into Raging
River

PINE BLUFF, Ark, Dec. Follow
ing an all-night struggle against the
encroachment of the Arkansas river
citizens of Pine Bluff renewed the ap-
parently hopeless struggle today.
The fate of property aggregating
probably S5,00O,OO0 is in the balance.
Unless they check the waters force the
Jefferson hotel, the court house and
other buildings are almost sure Of de-
struction when the crest of the flood
reaches this point.
To this is added the strong proba-
bility that if these buildings go and
the river remains unchecked nearly the
entire business section of Pine Bluff
will be destroyed
section of land north of the court
house wall 10X100 feet long Is moving
slowly toward the river. Several ware
houses along the banks of the river
which have been partly wrecked are
tottering.
The entire river front is cracked and
unsafe even for pedestrians.
Secretary of War Wright has been
appealed to by the citizens of Pine
Bluff, asking permission to change the
course of the river.

.NEWBERRY TAKES
OATH OF OFFICE
METCALF'S SUCCESSOR FOR
MALLY INSTALLED
Retiring Secretary of Navy Leaves
Washington for His Home in
Caifornia-To Visit
Los Angeles

WASHINGTON. Dec. Herbert L..
Satterlee of New York, who was yes
terday offered the position of assistant
secretary of the navy, today wired the
president his acceptance of the ap-
pointment.
Mr. Newberry was sworn in today
as secretary of the navy and partici-
pated in the cabinet meeting. He was
accompanied to the White House by
Mr.. Metcalf, his predecessor, who for
mally presented him to the presidents
official family.
The oath of office was administered
to the new secretary of the navy de-
partment in the presence of Mrs. New
berry and Miss Caroline Newberry, Mr..
Metcalf, the chiefs of the bureaus and
the other officers of the service.
In a brief speech Mr.. Metcalf paid
a high tribute to the new cabinet Of
ficer, Mr.. Newberry responding in
equally felicitous vein.
The last official letter by Mr.. Metcalf
was to Admiral Dewey, thanking him
for 1.-The most cordial and loyal sup
port which had been given him.
The retiring secretary left tonight
for his home in California.
After visiting his son in Los Angeles
Mr. Metcalf will go to his shooting
box, where he will occupy himself in
hunting for some time.
He expects to throw off all cares
of business until his health has been
fully restored.
Apparently the talk of reorganization
of the navy with a staff organization
to resemble that adopted for the army
has been brought to a conclusion by
Secretary Newberry, who has changed
the regulation relating to the general
board of the navy, which now is limit
ed to seven members, by adding the
words "and such general officers as the
secretary of the navy may direct"
With such a provision is will be pos
sible to add to the general board as
many officers as may be necessary to
perform all the practical work, such as
is accomplished by the general staff of
the army, although under this plan the
secretary will not surrender his power
over the naval organization.
