LESS DANGER FROM RIVER
The Situation at Pine Bluff is Better Than it Has Been Since October
 25-Court House Unsafe.

Pine Bluff, Nov. C. The river situation at Pine Bluff IS better today than 1t has been since tue big rise which began October 25. The river has fallen nearly three feet at Pine Bluff and is falling rapidly today, and the caviug of the banks seems to have been stopped at present, although there are still cracks in the banks at number ot places aud there may still be caving at some places, The wrecked portion of the warehouses along the river front have been cut loose from the remaining portions and the wreckage dropped into the river to aid the piles of brush in protecting the bank
 Masses of brush line the bank nearly the entire distance where the caving has been going on, and the fascines are giving much protection to the babks Other fascines are being construci ca as rapidly as possible and brush is still being brought to he city ae last as II can be cut.
 There appears to be no chang in the si uation near the Jelfersop Ho,ei and the court house, as caving has been noticed there today. Early yesterday morn ing the walls of the small brick warehouse just north of the two story building on Chestnut stree fell into the river with the roof and the north wall of the old Bradford & Knox warehouse IS in danger now.
 Wednesday afternoon the old Boyd house, which has been hanging to the bank on the north side for some time, broke away add floated down the river. The big building floating down the river attracted much attention, and photographs of the unusual sight were taken.
 The river will continue to fall rapidly, and it is believed the situation will rapidly improve as the river falls.
 Judge James Gould today posted notices to the rear of the court house warning people to keep away. Architect Thompson Of Little Rock, who inspected the building, declared the rear wall unsafe.

FOOD LAW NOT VIOLATED.
Judge Trieber Holds Sugar Glen" and
 "Burro" Syrups Are Pure.

Little Rock, Nov. 6.-Accord- ing to the verdict of the jury to- day in the federal court. the 779 cases of Sugar Glenn and Burro molasses were declared 0. K. aud free from adultera.iou.
 IL was the contention of the government that tue brands of molssses we're adulterated and did not possess the pure food qualities claimNd on the labels and guaranteed under the pure food and dug act of the national congress.
 After hearing the testimony, Judge Trieber instructed the jury to find a verdict iu favor of the 779 cases of moIasses. The ver- dict was returned in acc rdanc with the courts instruction.
 One contention Of the govern ment was that the term ''corn syrup on the label was mislead- ing. The owner of the molasses claimed that .'eorn syrup" and glucose" are the same corn by pr oduct and are interchaugeabl commercial terms.

TO DROP GOOD
 ROADS MOVEMENT
Judge James Gould Says Defeat of Amendment Number Ten Is the Cause of His Desire to
 Resign Presidency.

Little Rock. Nov 6.-Judge James Gould of Pine Bluff, who points out that he has spent his means and time in the good roads movement for Arkausas, has an. nounced his intention of resign iul from the presidency of the Arkansas Good Roads Association iust as soon as 1t can be done without embarrassment to be cause. The judge makes the plain statement that the defeat of amendment No. 10 is the cause for his intended action.
 This announcement came yes terday to George R Brown, sec retsry of the board of trade. The good roads associat tion is schedul. ed to hold convention m Little Rock in January, and MT. Brown wrote to Judge Gould to find out what he expected in the way ol entertainment. The announce ment of the intended resignation was the reply to MT. Browns let ter.
 The executive committee of the associat; Jn is imposed of Gov ernor Donag E. F. Ladd and H. l.. Remmel. Mir. Brown has written 10 the executive commit tee relative to the proposed con- vention.
 Judge Gould $ letter shows thai he IS greatly disappointed be cause the ame ndment failed to carry. He says he had worked for plan whereby it seemed te him the people had chance to make good roads aud streets. The letter indicates that the judge feels the policy for which he worked has been repudiated.

WAS SURELY INTERESTING
s. J. Clark Held an Audience for Two and Half Hours With an Address
 on Socialism.

$. J. Clark, socialist lecturer, Friday night addressed audience that comfortably filled the lower floor of the Odd Fellows build ing, and for nearly two and a half hours held the closest atten- ton of his hearers.
 w. E. Watkins, Dr. c. c. Coch- ran and other citizens asked ques- tions of the speaker, with the ev- ident intention of seeking infor- nation. and were carefully, and at least to the Socialists present, satisfactorily answered.
 Mir. Watkins asked the lecturer "Why, if Socialism was a suc- cess, it would not be we'll first to try the principle on a smaller scale, as for instance, some gwen state or an island" The reply was to the effect that it would be like trying to establish a little heaven in the midst of a large hell-the influence of the sur rouudings would overwhelm and Gestry the chances of success of the experiment. using a number of examples to prove his conten. tion.
 The speaker endeavored to clear up what he claimed was a popular misconception by stating that Socialism stands for "privaie ownership of private property and public ownership of public property" chasing such enter prises as railroads, coal mines and oil wells as property that should come under the head of public property. He also advo- cated the election of all public officials by majority vote of the people, who at the same time should reserve the right to recall by similar vote any servant whom they deemed unfaithful.
 The speaker referred to the public schools and postofhce de- Darfmeut as nurelv SocialiStic and pointed out ways by which the successful existence of even these was made hard by antag- onistic methods, as iu the case of carrying the mails, for which the government pays a much higher rate to the railroads for service rendered than do the express companies.
