PINE BLUFF, ARKANSAS, MORNING, MARCH9 g. 1911

sent at the time with all his hou,. mold. Last Sunday, Rev. Tull in commenting on what he hoped for the day insisted that there be present all
 the babies of the church and that no
 one be left at home to take care of the baby. He said with nierriment.
 If the babies cry, we will consider that part of the program These rally days at the First Baptist church have become notable the large crowds taxing the utmost capacity of the big auditorium. It would seem that the announcement of this Spring Rally" is especially appropriate. Spring is here and all the creatures of the earth are taking on new life and have come out to bathe themselves in the sun. It would not seem a bad idea to have a church warming day. such as the First Baptist church has on which some church members, who like some other crea- lures, may have been 'shibernating'' during the winter months can come out again and catch the spirit of the season

BUSTER BROWN" IS
 IN TOWN TODAY
Mischievous Youngster, Mary Jane" and "Smiling Tige," at Elks This
 Afternoon and Tonight.

It is good deal like trying to boom a certain brand of pickles of which there are said to be 57 varie- ties, to print anything new in praise of that staple amusement article, Buster Brown This is the fifth consecutive season of the musical comedy bearing the title, and judging from the success so far this season, the Outcault creation will excel all former records in point of attendance. It is not hard to find reason for this. The public knows that it is bright,#clean andSgood. It ~istsiDiig- show. There is large number of bright, pretty, talented girls with the company. and everyone of them can dance and sing. Buster, Tige and Mary Jane, that lively, likeable trio are of coure the main attractions, but the large supporting company comes. in for much favorable criti- cism. and all in all, ''Buster Brown" can't be beat for all that Is claimed for it. The company will be seen at Elks Theater this afternoon and to- night /

New York Financiers Worried.

New York March S.-Hurry up tactics by Mexican diplomats and consultations between them and Am erican financiers with interests in Mexico and frequent receipt by both parties of long cipher telegrams from the Southern Republic kept the war situation very much alive in this city today.
 Jose Limantour, the Mexican min- ister afs finance and Ambassador, De Labarra were the chief figures in the diplomatic activity Senor De La barra made flying trip up from Washington to consult with Senor Limantour. He spent almost all the afternoon conferring with him. Prev iously Senor Limantour had a long talk with several New York bankers. The import of these messages were not divulged by any of the recipients.
 Demes Diaz Report.
 After this talk Minister Lmantour made brief statement to- the news- paper men. ''I want to contradict. first of all, the report that President Diaz is ill and likely to die. I have received several messages early this from sources which are bound to know his condition and to tell me of it. They all say he is in a normal state of health. More than this I cannot say except to repeat my statement of last night, that the so- called instruction in Mexico is merely the outbreak of few disor- derly persons"

MORE RECRUITS
 ON RUSH ORDERS Additional Marines Sent to the Pacific Fleet Yester- day and Situation is
 Critical.
FOREIGNERS ACTIVE
European Countries Expect Full Guarantee in MexicO-Arkan-
 sas Troops May Move.

Washington, March 8-Rush or- ders were issued today by the War Department to send two thousand re- cruits for the division of twenty thousand which ave been mobolized and are en route from many army posts to the Mexican frontier.
 These recruits will not b.. with drawn from the camps, even if it be found that the commands h re been ordered there at their full quota The fact of this order, which was learned tonight, indicates pe::iansn- ,cy of the camps, which are propos- ed near the Mexican line. An addi- tional important order went to the Pacific fleet today by whi,h it will receve 300 additional marines Of the 1000 now on the Pacific coas'. The foreign naval and military att taches are expected to go numerous ly to the Mexican border although they have not yet been inv; e.! as the CuSIOm WucH regular lldHcuVCIS dlc { rgurated.
 The situation is full of internation- al political dynamite. It is known that foreign interests, personal and commercial, believe or expect to bees' I've that they are in Mex.cC 2'a |, ey claim the right of full. guaran tee by the United States or the r:sht of inter yen lOu by themS elves
 The situation in Mexico, dcnands are more instant and friendly. Ap- plications of the Monroe doctrine by the United States and it's affairs in case of a threat of hetoring mes sages or any proposed drastic action by France, Germany or England, will follow. The United States and Mexico are bound together by very close ties and are as matter of fact united to preserve the peace of the Republic, which lies south of Mexico up to the borders of Columbia, in South America. It is officially stat ed today that the Mexican ambassa- dor at Mexico City has not asked for by the United States.

The district is already heavily burdened by levee, drainage and road taxes.
 That the undersigned have formed an association for the purpose of their property rights, es- in the matter of local taxa. tion for local improye and will do all in their power politically and in a business way to protect these rights.
 That the building of the bridge is a scheme of certain persons to furth- CT the interests of a railroad prop osition at the expense of the land owners of the county and not for the general good of the community.
 That the condition of property and business in Jefferson county does not demand the building of this bridge at this time. That the great CT part of the county will in no way be benefited by the building of the bridge by reason of the geographical position of the lands in said county, the same being long distance from Pine Bluff and having no suitable roads connecting them herewith.
 Wherefore, we protest against the passage of this measure and request hat the bill be defeated
