 It is claimed by V. o. Alexander, chairman of the committee on ar raHgements for the Prohihitionists, that after their Saturday night speak ing date had been announced, they learned that the Socialists had prev iously advertised speaking for the same night. Committees representing both organizations met and agreed that Mir. Hogan should speak from 7:30 to S:3 and that Mir. Davis should begin speaking at the latter hour.

City Council to Compel Water Company to Con meet With Private Lines
 Without Charge
WATER GO. IS SCORED
Ordinance Which Was Favored Ky Aldermen Chesnutt and Sheppard
 Was Passed.


 as being in favor of tberali,y cn the rart of the Pine Bluff Company in dealing with the residents of this city last night, when it passed an ordi- nance, GTawnt by City Attorney W. B. Alexander, compelling the water company to make free connections a the curb with private pipe lines. The ordinance was prompted by the re- cent action of the wayer company in demarding $13 from Tom Wyatt, wh5 went 10 the expense of building d private pipe line from his proper Y to Thirteenth avenue and Cherry street, before a connectiCn was made. If the water company violates the or dinance it is subject to fine of nos less tan $z5 nor more than S50, and each succeeding day will be a sep arate offense. Unle,: the ordinance the water connection mus be made whether the propuerty owner de manding it owns the abutting pIop- erty or not.
 Ci;y Attorney Alexander explain ed that the officials of the water com- any had Informed him taat tEey were willing to make such connec- ions, but that the property owner in question should not be counted as g sigler with other property owGurs who may desire another water main in the same locality. Mayor Jordan said that the water compahy had re- fused to make the connections for Mr. Wyatt unless he paid the S13 de manded by it,
 Alderman Chestnut said that the contention of the water company was "too thin" that property owners on one side of Seventh avenue had been forced to pay for connections because they were just outside the city limits, while others, on the op- posite side of the avenue were given l connections without charge Alder 1 man Chestnut termed the water company's attitute in the matter "a greed for money. Alderman Shep- pard favored the adoption of the ordinance, to enable other private l pipe line residents to secure water service free. Mayor Jordan said that the city's experience with the waiel company ill the past has not indicat- ed that the water company is desir- ous of giving away anything free.
 City Attorney Alexander said that he believed the ordinance would stand the test in the courts and it was unanimously adopted.
 At the request of residents of Mar tin avenue, who are planning to erecl beautiful columns al the entrance ol that thoroughtare, to add to its beauty and give it a metropolitan ap' pearance, the council decided to con sider an ordinance changing tht name of Martin avenue to Martin Place.
