DAVIS HOSPITAL IS IN \ FLOUR OF CONTROL WELL PLEASED.
REPORTS ARE MADE
Receipts Equal to Expenditures - Many Patients From Out of Town
 Treated There the Past Year.

The report on what has been done during the past year at the Davis Hospital ending July 15, as submitted to the Board of Control in meeting in the directors rooms of the Merchants X Planters Bank yesterday afternoon, showed that the past year has been q most successful one. All of the of. ficers of the Hospital Association made their reports together with the report of the superintendent. Miss Frances Crabtree.
 The reports showed that 35l pat tents had been treated during the past year ill Davis Hospital. Out of this number 231 were residents of this city and 120 were from out ot the city. This is an excellent record ssr q prac- tically new infirmary and ,eaks well for the management.
 Reports on the financial end of the hospital showed that the running eX- penses of the Davis for the Fear just l ending will be covered hN tie re- ceipts at the hospital together with the contributions of the one hundred citizens who promised to Nay $2.50 per month during the veal The re- ceipts of the hospital amountad to s.. l23.02 and the contributions of the public were S2,593.S8
 The Board of Control witch in. cludes J. F. Boyce, Walter C. Hudson, F. M Rosenberg, A. w. Nunn and $. C. Alexander, were all pleased with the. excellent management of the hospital and extended their thanks to Miss Crabtree and her entire force.
 1t was pleasing to the Board to note the good effect of the liberal contrib utions of the citizens. Although a number who had promised 10 make the s2.50 donations each month did not pay up the amount receiyed from this source was highly pleasing. Members of the Board believe that a
 contribution towards the maintains ance of such an institution is a worthy cause and contributors should feel it privilege to help cut. The Board proposes to have committee out at an early date to visit t'ose who l llberally contributed last year and l get them to renew their subscriptions for another year. The charity ward of this institution has done a great good for the sick, poor and injured and should be kept up by all means. ! As soon as the expenses of the hos pital are settled for this month, the Board of Control will give out an in- teresting detailed report of the entire year This report, according to mem- bers of the Board, will give to the public a correct account of the busi- ness of the hospital during the year. The Board also proposes to rsblish list of the contributors of last yea. and list of those who will donate $2.50 per month for the coming year.

companied the party.


 MT. Bush, MT. Pearson and other members of the official party. ex- pressed themselves as being highly pleased with the general appearance of Pine Bluff and especially compli- mented it's beautiful residences. They declared that they would have been delighted to have remained here over night, but their trip schedule prevent ed them from doing so. It was the first visit of several of the officials here, MT. Bush and MT. Pearson hay ing never visited Pine Bluff before They were loud in their praise of the prosperous appearance of the city and President Bush especially comment ed on the fact that the yards were kept so beautiful in the residence dis tricts and Mir Pearson was agreeably surprised to learn that the city had a public playground He asserted that every city in the United States should have them and said he hoped to hear of the establishment of more of them here in the near future.
 President Bush, who has accom- plished great work since assuming the presidency of the great railroad system few weeks ago, is a big man with jovial disposition and a warm handshake. He appears to be a plain, every day sort of man and made a fine impression upon those who met him here yesterday. He is regarded as one of the greatest railroad men in the country and his elevation to the presidency of the Missouri Pacific Iron Mountain system was a recogni- tion of hard work and faithful, com potent services for various Gould lines in the East. He worked up to the presidency from the very bottom.
 Secretary ". E. E. koepler, who ac- companied President Bush on the trip over the city, quoted him as express AAA . ouA Pl ioS ot eliC pl US tSSl9G Sp- pearance as we'll as the number of our important industries.
 As was to be expected the president was willing to make no statement as to future policies of his road, nor lad he anything to say about expected de velopments in the way of improve ments effecting this section and the state of Arkansas" said MT. Koepler. MT. Bush expressed regret at having so little time to spare on his trip sss he was already behind the schedule he had mapped out and had to hurry on his tour. His stops at other cities along the line had been cut down to about five minutes with the exception Of McGehee where he had promised to spend longer time at reception planned there for Friday evening. We are delight to have from him assur- ance that on his next tour he will accept the invitation of Pine Bluff for a stay of sufficient length for us to demonstrate our brand of hospitality and will notify us in advance so that suitable preparation can be made to entertain him here as we know only the people of Pine Bluff can."

DETAILS OF THE TERRIBLE
TENNESSEE MINING HORROR

BRICEVILLE, Tenn, December 10.
Somewhere in the depths of the
Cross Mountain coal mine probably
one hundred men lie dead tonight,
while their sorrow stricken families
keep vigilance at the mouth of their
tomb hoping against hope that their
loved ones may be alive when rescuers
reach them.
Eight mangled bodies were brought
forth by nightfall, when search was
abandoned for the day Outside of
the immediate families of the en-
tombed men no one in this little
mountain village believes that any
living thing in the mine has survived
the terrific explosion of coal dust that
wrecked the workings Saturday morn
ing.
For more than thirty-siX hours
every surviving miner in this region
has toiled with no thought Of food,
sleep or pay, to remove the debris
and force fresh air into the innermosJ
|recesses of the mine. Tonight they
practically had penetrated to the main
entry head, nearly two miles in. To-
morrow they expect to be ready to
work the cross-entries in which the
great mass of bodies undoubtedly
were caught by the blast.
Gases Overcome Rescuers.
Black damp developed late today
and stopped progress for a time, but
soon the silent force pushed daunt-
lessly on, some of them till they were
carried out, overcome by the noxious
gases.
Thousands of the morbidly curious
/ focked into Briceville today, and
crowded about the main entry of the
mine. They saw nothing but the pitt.
able grief of the stricken families.
There is hardly a family in the en-.
tire Coal Creek valley that has not
felt the touch of death. The problem
of caring for the widows and orphans
is great requiring immediate solu
ton. Certainly Briceville will be un
able to care for her living with most
of her wage earners numbered among
the dead.

ON THE CONDUCTOR.

DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler was
talking in the saloon of the Kaiser
Wilhelm II about American honesty.
For all our undertaking writer's,
he said, Il think that the American
people are the most honest people in
the world Is an American ever sub
jected at home to the petty cheats
and eXtortions to which he is sub,
jected in Europe?'
Then, apropos of foreign honesty
DR.. Butler told a railroad story.
"On foreign railroad" he said, "a
commuter had a row with the conduc.
tor. At the end of the row the com,
muter turned to friend and said
"'Well, the p D. R. will never see
another cent of my money after this.
THE conductor, who was departing
looked back and snarled:
Whatl you do? Walk
ooh, no. said the commuter. II
stop buying tickets and pay my fare
to you. Washington Star.

Tonight food is scarce, but plenti.
full supplies are promised for tomor-
row from Knoxville. So far there has
been little suffering among the fami-
lies of those who lost their lives
Victims Number Hundred.
II has been impossible to get any
authentic figures on the exact num-
Der of men in the mine when the ex-
plosion occurred. Mine officers have
given out no statement 1t has also
been impossible to get any check on
the men who went to work yesterday
morning That it is more than a hun
dred is certain, and that they are all
dead seems almost as certain.
That the black damp will be driven
from the workings tonight is believ-
ed Tomorrow with the crew of one
rescue car on the ground, another
hurrying here, and representatives Of
the Red Cross on hand, it is expected
that rescue work, so badly retarded
will go forward rapidly.
The work of rescue moved slowly
today and tonight partly because Of
the entombed men who are believed
to be two miles from the opening and
partly because of black damp.
Electrical Devices Broken.
Electrical devices for moving cars
in the workings were shattered by
the explosion, and the debris cleared
away in the tunnels is being hauled
by mule cars to the surface. Mine ex.
perts tonight said it would be days
before each lateral had been pene-
trated and that when all the bodies
would be found was guesswork.
A pail of silent sorrow lowered
about the mouth of the mine as thou
sands congregated, some standing for
hours and others moving momentar-
lily from one point of vantage to an
other
The single disturbance of the ST
lence was when Rev, e. NJ. Richie,
pastor of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South at Coal Creek, exhort-
ed those within the hearing of his
voice to accept the disaster of Satur-
day as a warning and prepare to
meet death
