Confident Of Great Success.

Il am confident that an aviation meet
in Washington would be a great success,
said Mr. Berger. Undoubtedly it would
bring at least 100000 visitors to the city
during the ten days II was In progress
/ have already sounded some of the rail-
roads, and find that they will give special
rates to Washington during the meeting.
Such a meeting would not only bring a
great deal of business to the hotels and
merchants of the city. but would give
the city a wide advertisement
1.-The international aviation meet will be
held on Long Island the last two weeks
in October. We will bring to Washington
the same men who will fly there with the
same machines. The contests here will
be very similar for speed, distance, alti-
tude. for the slowest lap and for the best
getaway"
Mr.. Berger has recently formed a COM
pany for the promotion Of aviation meet
ings and for the construction OF aero
planes. in which he is much interested.

PROPOSED TO HOLD AN
AVIATION MEET HERE
Matter Presented to Executive
Committee of Chamber of
Commerce.

A proposition 10 hold an aviation meet
in Washington early in November, In
which a number of the best known avi'
ators in this country and abroad vii
take part, was made to the executive
committee of the Chamber Of Com
merce at a special meeting today by
S. Berger Of New York. He came here
to lay the matter before the business
men of the city.
Mr.. Berger proposes to hold the meet
ing during ten days in November. imfne-
diately after election day. at Benning race
track. which he declares to be as good
a field for an aviation meeting as the
field now being used for the meeting In
Boston.
c. Grahame-w White of London, who has
performed spectacularly in Boston; Capt
Baldwin, Count de Lesseps of france.
Charles *. Hamilton and Clifford Har-
mon are some of the aviators whom Mr..
Berger proposes to bring TO Washington
for the meeting.
A particular attraction during the pro-
posed meet will be a Washington-to-Bal-
timore-and-return flight for a prize OF
$4,000. Mr.. Berger said that undoubt-
eddy Curtiss and Wright would take part
in the contest for this prize.
Cost About $35, 900.
1t has been estimated by Mr.. Berger
that it will cost in the neighborhood Of
$4,000 to conduct an aviation meeting
for ten days. In which four of the lead
ing aviators with five machines would
take part.
He asked the Chamber of Commerce to
put up $4,000 of this amount, with the
understanding that he will furnish the
other s2O,OO0 needed. He himself will take
charge of the promotion of the exposition
and see to getting the aviators here.
Another proposition is that the Chamber
of Commerce, or business men of WASH
ington who are members of the chamber,
shall finance the project and take all the
returns. MIR. Berger figures that the at
tendance at the meeting would be large
and that a considerable sum Of money
would be cleared.

P0MP FLEMING
 WAS SEEN HERE
Desperate Negro Who Escaped From State Penitentiary Threw Gun on
 Officer and Made Him Ride On.

Pomp Fleming, the Jefferson coun- ty negro who recently escaped from the state penitentiary, with two oth- CT desperate characters, where he was serving twenty-one year sentence for the murder of Laura Davis, his mother-in-law, whom he shot and killed in this city about year ago, was seen near this city yesterday and was armed with revolver. While Deputy Constable Walters, a negro, was riding along a country road near Pine Bluff, Fleming unexpectedly came from behind tree, threw a pis- tol on Walters and told him to ride on. You are not looking for me, ,' said Fleming. The officer had no op- portunity to get his gun from his pocket, and knowing that Fleming was a bad man and desperate he be- lieves that he was lucky to get away with his life Fleming's wife, about whom he murdered her pother, is sleeping little these nights. She lives in the eastern suburbs of the city and believes that Fleming in- tends to do her harm. He is said to have made the statement that if he ever got out of the state prison, he would return here and punish his wife for prosecuting him.

Urep water for the Arkansas Sounds t,ie t VIII 0 the ~isp, the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. but il is not and ere two years have passed it will no longer be the dream of the shipper, the manufacturer and the coal operator along the river for the government has at last takeH steps which will bring the deep water in short order by providing four, six, eight or twelve foot channel in the river between Little Rock and ozark, just as is needed to allow op- mines the year around. Tine river to ke left open by q sand suction pump boat of a dreadnaught capacity and size. plans of which are now in the hands of the Secretary of War, for his approval When the plans are turned over to the Arkansas river de partment they vii lbc sent to boat builders all over the United States and bids asked for the construction of the craft According to the plans the boat will be over 200 feet in length anl 40 fet wide It will draw about 36 inches of water and be one of the most superb beats ever floating on the Arkansas river. When completed the boat will represent all outlay of nIt ,,,;I ,;, years time to build it. This boat will be similar to a half dozen sand pump boats now being operated by the gov ernment on the Mississippi, which have succeeded in keeping the chan nel open in places which were bar riers to navigation in low water be- fore the boats were put into commits sion. If the boat works on the Mis- sissippi it is bound to work satisfac- torily on the Arkansas, even though the volume of water is less in the Arkansas The boat will have chute in the bottom near the front end of the boat, which is 12 feet in length. It will be about foot across and 22 feet wide. When lowered to the ob- structing bar, and the pumps put to work, this will bring up sand at the rate of 400 yards per hour. Such work as this will cut hole through any bar in few hours. The boat will eat it's way through the bars as the g foot pump will soon make large channel by the caving in of the sides The boat will be fitted up with
 very costly machinery on the deck, but the second floor will have elegant quarters for the engineers, bumpers, captain and boat hands. There will be private baths for the officers and the draughting rooms will be as fine

 AWAY FROM MOB
Jesse James, Charged With Attempt. ed Criminal Assault, Denies the
 Charge Made by Little Girl.

Jesse James, negro with famous name, was brought through this city yesterday by City Marshal Charles St,.phens, of Leola, Grant county, who was taking hin to Sheridan, the coun- ty seat of that county, to place him in the county jail for safe keeping. James is charged with attempted criminal assault and it is stated that had City Marshal Stephens not hur- ried him away from the scene of the alleged crime, he would have been lynched. James spent several hours in the county jail here yesterday, be- tween trains. He denies the charge and says that Sarah Children, the fourteen year old girl who makes the charge against him, was frightened without cause.
 James was arrested Sunday by Mar shal Stephens, after the little daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Children reported that he had made an insult ing remark to her when she went to his home, near her own home on an errand for her mother. When he tried to get her to come to him, the little girl says she ran to her home and was pursued two hundred yards by James, who is about thirty-five years old.

STEAM FERRY
 AT THIS PLACE Board of Trade Plans to Purchase One and Give if
 to County. LEVYING COURT TO BE Asked to Maintain It-COmplaints About Present Ferry Service To Cost S5,OOO.
LEVYING COURT TO BE

At meeting of the directors of the Pine Bluff Board of Trade, held yes- terday afternoon at their headquar- ters on Chestnut street the matter of purchasing steam ferry and the es- tablishment of free ferry service across the Arkansas river at this point, was discussed and referred to the transportation committee, with instructions to look into the cost of such boat and devise ways and means for it's successful operation.
 Owing to the absence of bridge across the Arkansas river at this place and the poor ferry service here, many complaints have been registered of late by farmers and others who are required to wait on the north side of the river some hours before being able to get across.
 It was reported to the Board of Trade directors that first class steam fer ny could be purchased for from S3,- 300 to 5000. It is planned to pur- chase the ferry boat and donate it to the county. After this is done an ef fort will be made to get the county levying court to appropriate suffi- cient amount to enable the county to operate the ferry throughout the year and to defray the expenses of main- taining it.
 The Board of Trade also disposed of number of other matters An invitation was received from Earle, Ark, inviting the members of the Pine Bluff commercial body to at tend the good roads meeting to be held there on next Friday.
 In the absence of President J. T. Lloyd the meeting of the Board of Trade was presided over by J. E. Boyce and Secretary Caldwell. The directors present were J. E. Boyce, J. L. Caldwell, w. D. Hearn, P. P Byrd, w. H. Westbrook, V. O. Alexander, Charles Veil, Dr. z. Orto, J. B. Speers, J. w. Wilkins, w. N. Tru- lock, c. c. Handley and Ed Howell.

NO MEETING IN
 THE CITY HALL Council Declines to Grant Request of Thompson, For Use of the
COUN GIL HAM MBER
frepertt Owners in District NO. May Connect With Sewer Main
 Other Business.

coatiess. city council last night declined to grant a request of Dr. +, C. Thompson, chairman of the Jef- ferson County Republican Central Committee, for the use of the City Hall for a Republican meeting to be held in this city on Wednesday, Au- gust 24, when the Republicans Of this county are to gather to hear J. Bruce Cox, Republican candidate for attor- hey general deliver an address.
 The request was made to the Coun- eil by Mayor Toney, who stated that Dr. Thompson, had asked him to pre- sent the matter to the aldermen for their approval. Alderman A. C. ,Jor- dan objected strenuously to the hold ing of political meetings in the coun cil chamber and said he did not favor the idea of making it a general meet ing place for Republicans or Dem ocrats CT any ether political organiza- tons. The Aatter was not discussed. but was merely passed up without further notice
 Property owners in Sewer District No. 8 were given permission to con meet with the sewer main along Elm street In their petition they stated that they had paid all assessments and that the connections could be made much cheaper than if they werc required to connect in another dis trict. Alderman Jordan objected to sfanting the request of the property owners on the ground that they were avoiding the necessity of entering an- ether district. The request was grant ed, however, by vote of four to three.
 An ordinance was adopted assessing the costs of Improvement District No. upon real property and making a lien thereon. Fifteen per centum of the assessed benefits shall be paid annually on or before September 15 each year, the first installment being due on September 15, 1910.
 Property owners between State and Georgia streets, from Sixth to Ninth avenues, were not permitted to build four foot concrete sidewalks instead of five foot walk, as required by law They were, however, given the priv ilege of building five foot walk within one foot of their property lines, instead of the two foot requirement., as is customary.
 Alderman Chestnut complained about the negligence of many proper ty owners all over the city in not cut ting weeds, as required by city ordin- ance. Mayor Toney stated that the city sanitarian and chief of police were serving notices on those who have failed to cut their weeds and unless they comply with orders they will be brought into the city police court and fined.
 Much other routine business was disposed of before the Council ad- journed
