APPEAL TO THE PRESIDENT
PINE BLUFF RESIDENTS WANT
RIVERS COURSE CHANGED.
Banks Gazing 1n-Courthouse in
Danger-Judge Orders Every
thing to Be Removed.

PINE BLUFF. Ark, December 1.-The
Arkansas river reached a stage of twenty
three feet early today and is rising rap
idly. The bank of the river in the rear
of the Jefferson Hotel and county court
house began falling into the river in large
sections this morning. The courthouse
annex has been vacated by the officials
who consider the building unsafe Orders
were given to remove everything that
could be taken away by County Judge
Gould, who saw the extent of the rise in
the Arkansas river during the night.
The treacherous current had left at day
break a scant dozen feet between the
blink OF the river and the courthouse walls
at the nearest point. Gazing is going on
all the time.
Circuit court, which Is now in session.
has been moved to the city hall. Condi-
tons are almost as bad at the Jefferson
Hotel. across the street from the court
house. The boiler room of the hotel
seems doomed, but it is thought the main
part Of the building is safe.
A discouraging feature of the night was
the failure Of the patent current de-
flector and destroyer. Great things had
been claimed or it and men were kept
busy until late at night constructing the
conveyance under direction Of an agent
Of the company holding the patent.
1t was wrecked before doing anything to
prove it's worth.
No answer has been received to the
telegram sent to President Roosevelt yes
terday asking him to authorize the Sec
rotary of War to allow the course of the
river to be changed by cutting a new
channel for 1t.
Business is almost suspended. while citi-
zens work and watch the work Of destruc-
ton. The river reached "a feet at noon
and was rising fast. The swift current
has put the government boats out Of COM

UNCLE HORACE IN new SUIT
MAKES A HIT In HIS $12 HAND
ME-DOWN.
Offers Himself as Exhibit in Argu-
ment Against Lower Tariff
on Wool.

Protected wool baa-ed at the ways and
means committee during today's tariff
hearing and Uncle Horace Justice of
Philadelphia made big hit in a twelve
dollar suit. Uncle Horace is a protected
wooist and had a fine line of Salubrious
arguments to present to Chairman Serene
Payne and other members of the COM
mittee against any lowering of the duty,
which is not any too high now, he said.
But in the middle of his speech Uncle
Horace stopped and addressed Mr.. Payne
personally.
Don't 1 look nice this morning." said
he.
Mr.. Payne. who is threatened with a
suspicion OF approaching obtuseness OF
the eardrumS made him repeat It, He
did Uncle Horace Justice, being viewed
with suspicion. then. in order to put an
object lesson across the plate and demon
Strdte that he knew what he was talking
about explained that he had stopped in a
clothing store before he came down to the
nearing. and bought suit Of ready-to-
wear clothes. for which he paid SIP and
Sl2 only. He turned around like a whirl-
ing derVlSh so the committee members
and the spectators could look him over.
While 1t would be going too far to say
that the appearance of Uncle Horace
would have made Beau Brummel turn
rant from envy, he was, nevertheless. a
spruce looking Philadelphia. To help
out the suit he had on a red necktie and
a white vest and other gents furnishings
He said. however that these did not come
with the suit
Champ Clark. who is mighty sarcastic
sometimes. asked Uncle Horace If he
didn't think he might have got the
tWelve-dollar suit for $40 Or even 50 if
he told the man who sold 1t that it was
going to be used as an argument against
a reduction In the wool schedules. Mr.
Justice passed this over in scorn.
Champ Clark wondered out loud wheth-
er Bourke Cochran and some other high
flyers on the ways and means committee
bought their clothes in London because
of the glory that follows the trade mark
or because Of a difference in price,
Other wool men talked.
When the committee took recess at
100 Champ Clark leaned over the bar
Of justice carved mahogany railing be-
hind which the members sit and yelled to

growers. Come on, General, and take

The general accepted with a pleased
smile.
