THE RITHERFORD ROAD.

In commenting upon the Ruther- ford road. which will soon be ex- tended from the Rock Island either at Leola or Carthage, Ark. to Pine Bluff, the American Lumberman, of Chicago. says:
 The reorganization of these lumb ar companies is matter of the great est moment to the city of Pine Bluff and can not fail to interest the trade at large. but this is not the only i'm portant development of the last few days in connection with John H Rutherford's affairs. Pine Bluff. III the development of which Mr. Ruth none, has heretofore been dependent upon two railroads, and of recent years those roads have been practi- cally uoncompetitive-the St. Louis Southwestern and the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern, both Gould lines. It has long been the hope of the business interest of Pine Bluff that third railroad might be brought into the city, but until lately con- ditions have not been favorable and nothing or this sort has been ac- complished. As a matter of course it will be understood that subsidiary corporations of the Bluff City l.um- Der Company have operated railroad lines used for logging purposes oyer the companN's timber lands. and a reference to the map will show that these roads properly extended offer to the Rock Island system a ready made" entrance to Pine Bluff A short time ago Mr. Rutherford made in, merchants of Pine Bluff a proposi ton which. of course. was the re suit of satisfactory negotiations wit the Rock Island system, and thi proposition has finally been accept ed.

TROOPS MAY BE
 SENT HERE ALSO Although Gov. Donaghey Says He Knows Nothing
 of Gambling Here,
MUST HAVE EVIDENCE
Chief Executive Tells Inquirer He Will Not Act Except Upon Actual
 Evidence.

Little Rock. Ark. July 22.-So many rumors and reports have reached Hot Springs relative to the possible interference on the part of the governor in responses to con- plaints filed with him alleging vo- lation Of the anti-gambling laws In that city that agitation in some quar- ters has reached the acute stage Many evidently believe that he is on the verge of ordering out the state militia. and SO keen was the interest the governor was called up by long distance by a Hot Springs citizens and asked point blank if he intend ed sending the state militia to Hot Springs on the strength of the peti- tion filed with him by certain citi zens of that place.
 No, was the frank response from the governor. mot merely on the pc tition that has been filed with me. l
 
 in the case before making a move
 Will you tell us the names of the people who signed the petition and complaint alleging violation of the anti-gamDlng laws?" was the next question.
 'I hardly care to do that, under l. governor, .,but I will say that the complaint is signed by 126 we'll known people of Hot Springs
 Insinuatcs Gambling Elsewhere.
 Are you going to stop gambling in Little Rock?" came the next query over the line.
 "I know of no gambling in Little Rock, returned the governor.
 Don't you know that gambling is actually going on in that city?' per sisted the Hot Sprigns citizen. No, l do not returned the gov ernor No complaint has ever been filed with me formally charging any, thing of the sort, and am not in position to presume the violation of the law otherwise.
 Are you going to stop gambling at Pine Bluff?" was the next interro- gation.
 T know of no gambling at Pine Bluff,' returned the governor "l have received no petition from that point and no information that such as the case.
 The inquirer was still persistent and wanted to know if the chief ex- ecutive proposed to unedrtake to stop gambling at TeXarkana and other points in the state. In each case the governor returned the answer that he had no official information of breach of the laws in those cities, and that he could not, therefore, presume to interfere witout cause.

equipment, rolling stock etc, Of those lines, which now will go out of eX- istence Tbe extensions contcmplat- ed will be thu ee ill number. One will connect up the two logging roads in such q way that logs from the Clio tract of timber can be hauled to kearney and sawed there, if desira-
 blc, and vice versa The third will bring the road into Pine Fluff. and
 for this extension right of way has
 already been secured, as has also the
 location for freight and passenger stations in Pine Bluff. When com pleted the Pine Bluff, Oklahoma x Texas railway will own and operate lO5 miles of track.
 While Pine Bluff will reap much rangement already outlined whereby the Rock Island system will be run ming trains into Pine Bluff by Janu- ary l, 1910, the Bluff City Lumber Company and the Clio Lumber Com pany are going to reap some benefits in the way of enhanced value on the lands, of which they own many thousand acers along this right of way, which are now to be opened up to direct railroad service and will be just so much more desirable for set clement as soon as they are cut over. Much of this land is adapted to the raising of cotton and fruits and will pay big returns when properly cleared and cultivated This, how ever, is one resource which the Ruth erford companies do not consider in figuring their assets and liabilities. for it has been the policy of the Bluff City Lumber Company in the past to hold all it's cutover land, a policy which has proved profitable, since a second cutting over some of the tracts logged ten or fifteen years ago, when the small stuff was not taken, will now yield almost as much as was taken off the first time.
 The work of building the railroad extensions will go ahead as rapidly as the construction materials can be secured. Much of the steel has all ready been ordered. and actual work will begin within a short time. For tunately the Bluff City Lumber Com pany in building it's road from the Clio mill constructed a much better line than the average logging roal, and as consequence there will le less reconstruction to be done than might be expected in converting logging road into a common carrier line. When the work is finished the Rock Island system will put on through passenger service between Pine Bluff and New Orleans, oper ating via it's Choctaw division. through Ruston and Winfield. This will open up an air line from Pine Bluff to the South, giving much quicker service than is possible now and more satisfactory connection between this country and New Or leans.

CABLE COMMUNICATION WITH

Seismographs Fail to Record Any
Earthquake-TldaI Wave and
Terrific Storm Are
Reported
tBy Associated Press.l

NEW YORK, Nov. lit is ap-
parent from the reports received today
by the cable companies with connec-
tions In the West Indies, that all sub
marine lines throughout the islands,
from Kingston on the west to Trinidad
on the east, have been rendered In
operative by some agency, the nature
of which, up to the present time, 1t
has been impossible to determine.
The circumstances indicate an earth
quake on the floor Of the ocean, but to
affect the cable lines throughout the
breadth of the Indies such DIS
turbance would have to be remarkable
for it's extent and severity.
No serious earthquakes have been
reported from any seismograph station,
nor have the meager reports from the
points In the island of Jamaica, where
the cables touch. indicated an earth
quake on the island.
Storm Only Confirmed
jamaica has been visited by severe
storm. with accompanying floods, and
this Is all that can be learned.
A meager cablegram from Holland
Bay, Jamaica, reports heaVy ram
high winds and enormous seas. Inc
telegraph lines from Holland Bay to
Kingston and other interior points are
still down, Ii is reported, and floods
prevent communication with Kingston
from any of the points where the
cables land. No mention was made Of
any earthquake.
The Royal Mail steamer Atrate'
which left Kingston on Saturday, ar
rived here today and reported that no
unusual weather conditions prevailed
when she left Kingston.

AMERICAN LAUNCH is
RELEASED BY ZELAYA

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-Strong
representations on the part of the state
department have resulted in the re-
lease by the government of Honduras
of the American gasoline launch Per-
las, which was seized and held at Puer-
to Cortez. The launch, which is the
property of the Port Perlas Banana
Plantation company of New York, was
recently pressed into service by the
revolutionists at Bluefields, Nicaragua.
When the launch arrived at Puerto
Cortez en- route to Puerto Barrios the
vessel ran out of fuel and was obliged
to put in. One passenger was on board
and the launch was seized by the Hon
duran authorities on the ground that
she carried q sympathiZer of the Mic
araguan revolution and that her clear
ance papers were irregular.
The United States, however, insisted
that the vessel be returned to its own
ers, but only after repeated represen-
tations was the restoration accom-
plished.
There seems no doubt that troops Of
the Nicaraguan government, now fight
ing the revolutionists, have invaded
Costa Rica on the southern bank of
the San Juan river.
The government of Costa Rica, the
state department is informed, mas
asked Nicaragua for an explanation:
Recent Developments seem to ind1-
cate that Honduras is in full sympathy
with the Zelaya government and that
she has given substantial aid In the
operations against the revolutionists.
This would be violation of article 2
of the Washington convention.
The state department IS watching
developments in the disturbed section.
costa Rica is believed to be acting in
good faith and Zelaya's invasion of her
territory is thought to be without her
knowledge or connivance. Dispatches
To the state department indicate the
revolutionists are making substantial
Roadway.

West Indian islands since saturday
and officials have been without in
formation regarding what has occurred
there.
No general tropical disturbance has
been Indicated in the reports from
other points in the West Indies, and
weather bureau officials are inclined to
believe that a submarine earthquake
caused the interruption to the cables,
yet no earthquake of any magnitude
has been recorded on the seismographs
