Board of Directors of Pine Bluff Little Rock Transit
 Company Held Meeting.
TO BEGIN WORK NOW
Plan To Build Line From Little Rock, Through This City to
 Monticello.

Little Rock Ark, April l3.--E. ]. Seymour is in the city today at a meeting of the board of directors of the Pine Bluff-Little Rock Transit Company. Mr. Seymour is the acting
 president of the company and after the meeting stated that they had
 completed arrangements for the per l mane mt survey, which would be be- gym at once.
 The company has established a permanent office at Ill 1-2 Main street, Pine Bluff, and will immediate ly put engineers in the field to es- tablish a permanent survey. A corps of men will follow, cutting right-of- ways preparatory for the grading, and another corps of men will follow, building road bed.
 It is the intention of the company to build an interurban line from Lit
 tie Rock, by the way of Pine Bluff,
 south to Monticello or Wilmar, thence i, to White station on the Louisiana line. They then propose to build a branch line from Malvern to Monti- cello. by the way of Camden, to Nashville. The line running from Pine Bluff to the Louisiana line will
 go through the most magnificent for
 est and undeveloped agricultural
 lands.
 The line from Wilmar, by the way
 of Camden, will develop the rich ag- ricultural Hands of the counties
 through which 1t passes, besides the
 great. forests which heretofore have
 had no market value. because no fa-
 cilities were offered to market their produce. s This line, If built, of which there is
 no doubt now. will be a means of de-
 veloping that part of Arkansas. The
 company proposes not only to furnish
 passenger accommodations. but also
 handle freight.

DEADLOCK IN
 CITY COUNCIL Vote For City Physician Stands Four to Four In
 Even Contest.
APPLICANT DROPPED
Dr. Blankenship Aspires to Re.Elec. ton But Aldermen Jordan and
 Others Favor Dr. Lowe.

The contest for the office of cit, physician promises to be equally as interesting as that for the position o city engineer, when the City Counci meets again next Monday night te vote on these matters. Dr. w. H Blankenship, who Has been in charge of the municipal medical department for nearly two years, is being oppos. ed by Dr.-W. T. Lowe and at pres. ent the vote stands four-four Al the executive session of the City Council Monday night repeated bal lots were taken by the aldermen with out a decisive vote. It was stated yesterday that the aldermen had not changed in their respective choice and that it would in all prob ability require the vote of Mayor Ton ey in an open council meeting to de eide the contest.
 Dr. Blankenship is being opposed by certain aldermen, it is said, be cause he is candidate for third term, which they say is not Demo cratic. The argument is advanced by Dr. Blankenship's supporters, how ever, that the present city physician has not been in that office full two terms, but that his first term was fo1 only nine months or an uneXpired term of his predecessor.
 Dr. A. c. Jordan, who is one oi the aldermen from the Third ward Is said to have nominated Dr. Lowe who is his partner, for the city phy- sicianship. Three other aldermen lined up with Dr. Jordan and the vote each time four to four. Dr. Harry Williams was also an applicant for the place, but his name was soon dropped when it was seen that one oi the other two candidates might get decisive vote. Dr. Jordan is the only known supporter of Dr.. Lowe, owing to the fact that the other sev- en aldermen voted a secret ballot Dr. Jordan did not hesitate to make known his choice and Dr. Lowe being his partner, it was but natural to suppose that he would support him. Because of previous unsuccessfl ef- forts of Alderman Jordan to elect Dr. J. L., Jenkins. who is also asso- ciated with him. the outcome of the present contest is causing the mani festations of no little interest on the part of his constituents. The city physicians office pays &S5 per month.

Wrangle Among Sporting Prompted Mayor Toney
 to Suppress Gambling.
PLAYER IS oUSTED
From Local Club Room and Fun Be. Hins-Local Sal0onlst Says Off.
 ccrs Favor Certain Gamblers,

Mayor W. l.. Toney, who on yester- day began his second term as. chief executive of Pine Bluff, has issued gambling edict i'll which he has or dered Chief of Police Al J. Stewart and Assistant Chief of Police J. k. Francis to suppress gambling wher- ever 1t is found to exist ill this city. Recent wrangling over favors alleged
 to have been shown certain gamblers is said to be responsible for the May ors orders. 1t is stated but not au.. thoritively, that Mayer Toney reap. pointed Chief Stewart and Assistant Chief Francis on condition that they would suppress n1Dling in Pine Bluff, if 1t exists.
 Mayor Toney stated yesterday that he knew of no gambling ill Pine Bluf, but that If information was given him that gambling was going on at any one or several places in the city that he would immediately instruct the DO lice to make raids. arrest and prose- cute all the offenders. It is expected , that the officers will make raids from time to time as they find gambling houses in operation.
 It IS stated that d disturbance, which took place Saturday night ct one of the downtown club rooms, "a responsible for the recent edict of the Mayor. The story runs to the ef- feet that 9 certain frequenter of a. gambling house went into local club room and "got in" poker game. He was caught pulling cards from his sleeve during the game it is alleged, and was excluded. His money was returned to him and he was ordered out of the place. The incident brought forth an argument and the police were appealed to by the busted poker player. The matter reached the ears of Mayor Toney. through his officers. and the edict followed.
 For some weeks past local saloon man Is said to have been making 1t warm for certain club room opera tors on the ground that they are be- ing favored by the officers of the law. Tho saloonist appealed to Prosecut- ing Attorney w. D. Jones and Chief o6 Police Stewart and has demanded that, If he iS not permitted to open hts club room. that others be closed. He has been very severe in denounc- ing the methods of the officers. 1t Is said. and threatens to go before the Jefferson county grand jury when 1t reconvenes next week and personally urge the indictment of the favored ones." Just what will be the outcome of the wrangle cannot be. 1oretold, but judging from recent developments 1t is expected that the result will be- interesting. .
 Chief of Police Stewart stated last, night that Q determined war against gambling would begin immediately and that every club room in the city would be closed. If gambling was Found there. Raids will be mado Intghtly and the offenders arrested land arraigned in police court. He fnstructed Assistant Chief Francis
 aat night to keep 8 watch on all places where gambling might be car fied on and to arrest every man caught in the rooms.

LIE principal stores d Milford

THE principal stores of Milford
have agreed to close at six 0 clock
each night in the week, excepting
Wednesdays and Saturdays, for the
balance Of the warm season. This
IS a wise and humane policy, which
will give the merchants better ser
vice from employees, and work no
hardship to the public, as the work
last year clearly demonstrated.
Parents of those clerking in stores
should absolutely forbid their sons
or daughters, from working after
six O'Clock Of evenings; it is un-
reasonable to ask, and brings no
benefit commensurate with the
wear and tear on human vitality,
It need not be any bug-a-boo to
those holding clerkships that they
would loose their positions. No
danger Of that clerks capable are
too hard to get for merchants Of
Milford to discharge them for an
unreasonable cause like this would
be. With the main stores closed
each evening, the people will not
come to the business section OF
Milford to shop. Now if the Light
and Water Commission will compel
all store lights 10 be paid for when
burned after six o'clock, all stores
will be prompt to shut up with the
rest. Be fair to clerks, and be fair
to yourselves.
