permanent landing for his boat He assured the city council that ne would personally make the excaya- tion under the direction of the city authorities and with the approval cf the government engineers to avoid any unnecessary damage to the weak ened river bank. He also stated, through. MT. Austin, that he would defray the expenses of making the excavation and establishing the ferry landing.
 Attorney John s. Lewis protested against granting the privilege, as counsel for J. B. Ezell, who owns considerable property in the Virginia street neighborhood and who fears that excavations at this time might weaken the river bank and cause a depreciation in the value of his prop critics. He has no other aim in pro- testing against the petition, Mr. Lewis stated.
 Attorney Creed Caldwell, repre- senting Mir. Drummond and others, made the same complaint, declaring that the cutting of landing at the foot of Virginia street would serious ly interfere with traffic at that point. preventing egress and ingress to pri- vate property. While Attorney Cald- we'll was talking on the subject. At torney Austin asked him if he did not appear in the county court and try to secure the license, granted Me Fadden, for another and failed. At torney Caldwell answered in the af- firmative and vas about to make an explanation when Mayor Toney rap ped for order and told the lawyers to refrain from argument between themselves. It was at this iuncture that Attorney Austin charged "sel- fish motives" of his opponents and the incident caused no little discus sion. The matter was finally re- ferred to the committee on public works.
 w. T. A1cFadden has operated the ferry at this point for years and has had much experience. MT. Montague is also an experienced river man The outcome of the ferry wrangle is awaited with interest.

HORSE RUNS THROUGH
 BIG SHOW WINDOW
Mammoth Plate Glass in Front. of kastor < Bluthenthal's Establish. ment Wrecked-Exciting Incident on Main Street.

white horse, attached to a wagon and owned by John Hays, ran away on East Second avenue yesterday af- ternoon at 4 o'clock and after run ming one block into Main street dashed through a large plate glass window in the gents furnishing store of Kastor & Bluthenthal, Second av- enue and Main street. The animal went head first through the big plate glass, crashing it into millions of pieces. In it's effort to free itself the horse knocked over and trampled un- der foot large assortment of fine spring suits and various articles of gents wear. The horse finally freed itself. backed out of the window, lac erated and bleeding, and ran north on Main street. carrying the small spring wagon with 1t. The horse col lided with a large barber pole in front of Greens barber shop. The pole. standing in a cement founda- ton, was wrecked. but bystanders caught the animal and checked it's wild dight.

Place Is Exchanged for Val uable Property in Hot
 Springs, Ark. -.z
TRADED IN 15 MINUTES
Nine Acres of City Property, With Residence, Given by T. s. James
 for Simmons Home.

Dr. J. F. Simmons, the well-known Pine Bluff millionaire. has been mak- Ing some big real estate deals in this and nearby cities for the past sey- eral weeks. and on yesterday he ad ded another large transaction to his list. He traded his magnificent two. story brick residence at West Sixth avenue and Poplar street, valued at about $25,000, to Thomas s. James, another wealthy resident of this city, for the James home and nine acres of beautiful city property at Hot Springs, which surrounds it. There was no cash consid ration, but merely an exchange of real estate and build ings. The James home, which was formerly occupied by Thomas s. James and family, at Hot Springs, is one of the prettiest in the Valley of Vapors and is situated near the Hot Springs and Western depot there. The deal was consummated by Attorney M. A. Austin in about, fifteen minutes Mr. James had made an offer for the Leo M. Andrews home on West Fifth avenue in this city, but the offer was not accepted. He and Dr. Simmons met little while later and, after consulting with Attorney Austin, they went to his office and made the "swop.' The James property, which has been acquired by Dr. Simmons, is located at McComb and Hobson streets in Hot Springs. The Simmons home is one of the finest in Pine Bluff. Dr. Simmons will most likely move into the Langford home, at West Fifth and Walnut street, which he recently purchased from Mr. and Mrs. w. H.. Langford at cost of 330.0O0. The Langford home was be- ing considered at the time by the Hecaton Club for headquarters, but the club disbanded and Dr. Simmons was not long in buying the palatial residence.
 Thomas s. James recently disposed of his Chalybeate Springs properties at Hot Springs for $25,0OO He and his family will make their permanent residence in thia city, again. The sale of the Ben J. Altheimer home on Martin avenue to Leo M. Andrews, for $1I00o... was also recorded in this city yesterday. @ ..s
 The return of n1r. James and his estimable family to this city to make this their permanent home will be good news to their many friends. MT. James has always been one of the city's most progressive spirited citi- zens and has had much to do. with the growth and. upbuifding of Pine Bluff. He is most excellent south ern gentleman and he and his estim- able family will be heartily welcomed by their many friends. Since their return to this city several months ago Mr. James and family have been living at the Hotel Jefferson.

SAYS. SENSATION WILL BE SPRUNG
 ---- Lynn Butler Still Withholds the Name of His As
 sailant.
 
NOT SERIOUSLY HURT
Rumors Tell Different Story, but They Are Denounced-WillP Pros-
 ecute When He Is Able.

Lynn Butler, former vice president of the I4eola Humber Company, who claims that he was attacked by two men, one of whom he says he recog nized but refuses to give his name early Tuesday morning while wait ing for train at the Cotton Belt railroad crossing, still refuses to give the name of his alleged assailant. but it was stated yesterday that he would file information against the would-be assassin as soon as he re- covers and is able to go downtown. All kinds of rumors were in circula- tion yesterday, many of which tend ed to disprove the story of Butler, relative to the manner in, which he received his wound. Some of them were of a sensational nature and were to the effect that Butler was not attacked by would-be assassins, but that he sustained the bullet wound in his right shoulder in per- sonal difficulty. None of the rumors could be corroborated, however, but Buffers attorney most emphatically stated that all such rumors contra dieting Buffers story have no founda- tion whatever. It was intimated that genuine sensation would be sprung when Butler gave out the name of his assailant.
 -- Butler issSeating we'll at the home of his brother-in-law. Thad Trawick, No. 1412 West Sixth avenue, where he went after being wounded at the railroad crossing. Dr. w. s. Stewart, who is attending Butler, says that the bullet which entered his right breast, near the shoulder, did not break the collarbone, as was at first thought, but barely missed the shoulder bone and lodged in the muscles of his back. The wound is not serious one and the patient will probably be able to leave his bed in q AeW udyS
 It was stated yesterday that But Ter, who said he was waiting for the southbound Cotton Belt train to go to Leola to attend the sale of the lumber company properties on Tues day, intended to be a bidder at the sale.

 spent an exceedingly interesting fore noon, with at least three important measures before it.
 First and foremost was the Oldham State Capitol Bill, still being consid- cred in committee of the whole, with the Keel amendment to do away with the commission and place the whole matter in the hands of the governor, under consideration. The bill was considered until the noon hour, and the committee will sit again at o'clock this afternoon.
 Another important measure was the introduction by the judiciary com- mittee of an inheritance tax bill. The bill is approved by the committee and, after being read second time, was made special order for Thurs day morning.
 Senator DeRositt, by unanimous consent. offered a substitute bill for the St. Panels levee bond bill, which provides for bond issue of $325, ,00O, for 8 period of twenty to forty years, with sinking fund of $16.200 per year after twenty years, and a H. cent tax upon the acreage of the dis trict. This bill was read twice and made a special order for Thursday morning.
 ''-'.'' University Appropriation. The house managed to get through the items of the State University ap- propriation bill this morning without much delay, and when the committee of the whole asked leave to report progress at noon fifty-one items of the bill had been passed upon, with total of nearly half the appropria-- tons and 3 cut of only $2,000 had been made from the committee rec concentrations As the consideration of the bill proceeded 1t became evil dent in the house that the recom- nendations of the ways and means committee had been judiciously made. and that except in rare instances it would be advisable to follow them. A cut of only S200 was made in the item for Germanic languages, where as. when the bill was under consid- eration Monday it looked as if the item might be cut out altogether. The other reductions made were: Fine arts department, $500: fuel. $1.o0o; plumbing. $20o. The committee. of the whole will sAt again at 2so'clock and . will in all proability complete the consideration of the bill this after noon.

ARRIVAL OF COMET
STlRS ASTRONOMERS
SCIENTISTS WATCH FOR WON
DROUS CELESTIAL BODY
Two Hundred Million Miles Length
of the Tail of Marvellous
Visitor Discovered by
Brooks

NEW YORK, June 1.-Two interest
ing and rare astronomical phenomena
are scheduled for this evening.
The moon will eclipse four-fifths of
the sun at two minutes after Z o'clock
in the vicinity, of New York, and
three hours later the tail, at least, of
Brooks wonderful comet is expected
to come into plain view.
According to Edwin f. Naulty, an
astronomer, who observed the comet
only an hour or so after it was dis
covered by Prof. Brooks on May %
last, the tail of this comet, which is
said to be 2OO,O0OOOO miles long, will
illuminate the southern sky between 8
and IL o'clock, and there is a possi-
bility that even the head of the visitor
may come into view. So far the head
has not been seen and it is causing
the liveliest interest among astrono-
mers and others.
The eclipse of the sun, which will
not occur again until 1918, is expected
to be visible as far west as the CEN
trail states and along the entire At
lantic coast.

Hospital in New
York
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, June 1L-At a meet
ing of the board of health yesterday 1t
was decided to offer no opposition to
the bringing of John S. Early, sus-
pected of being a leper, from Washing
ton to this city for treatment by DR..
L. d. Bulkely.
This action and the consent of the
Washington authorities to permit
Early to leave their jurisdiction PROB
ably will terminate what has been
lively controversy.
Although the washington DOCTORS
who have Early in quarantine there,
insist that he has leprosy, DR.. Bulkely
is lust as confident that his ailment
is a quite common form of skin disease
which he purposes to cure.
When all opposition to the bringing
of Early to New York was removed
efforts were made to induce railroad
company to transport him from Wash
'ington, but all of the roads demurred,
declaring they would run no chances.
Therefore Early will be brought here
in an automobile. which will cost the
Salvation Army, of which he is mem
ber, $50. The journey will start today
or tomorrow.

FIXES CENSURE
ON ANARCHISTS
CONSUL EXPLAINS INDUSTRIAL
STRIFE IN HAWAII
Representative of Japan Informs Of
ficiaIs at Toxic That Situation Is
Improving and Praises
Local Planters
(By Associated Press,0

TOXIC, June 1.-THE report that the
Japanese of Hawaii had appealed to
Toxic charging violation of treaty
rights as an outcome of the strike
agitation in the islands, is based upon
the fact that one of the agitatorS ar
rested at Honolulu sent a cablegram
to a brother living in Japan, request
ing him to endeavor to gain the inter-
cession of the government in his be-
half In spite of the fact that he knew
it was useless, the brother conveyed
the appeal to the government.
A dispatch received here yesterday
from the Japanese consul at Honolulu,
says the strike situation is improving,
and that all the men in two districts
have returned to work. The strike, the
consul says, is a result of agitation on
the part of Japanese anarchists, the
worst element among the Japanese,
who have been trying to persuade all
their countrymen to join union. They
claimed, the dispatch further asserts,
that they would be able to increase
wages, but in reality their purpose was
to collect money.
Consul Praises Planters
Continuing, the Japanese consul
speaks highly of the attitude of the
local planters. He also says that after
the arrest and conviction of the agita-
tors the condition of Japanese labor
at Hawaii would be improved, but he
is advising the planters not to yield
and to insist that the men return to
work without conditions.
The affair is not regarded seriously
in Toxic. The government today gave
assurance that it had not interfered in
the matter and that it had not sent
any instructions to the consul at Homo
