But the opponents, to defeat action by

until o'clock, or until the unfinished

The engagement occurred at Mount

OF COUNSEL
BONE Of CONTENTION
Investigation of Money Trust
May Halt Until Contro,
versy Is Settled.

It is expected that before the commit
tee on banking and currency gets down
to the business of inquiring into the af-
fairs Of the money trust the democratic
factions will indulge in a controversy as
to whom Chairman Pujo and his associates
shall engage as counsel.~A good deal of
comment has been made by conservative
leaders over the action of Representative
Henry Of Texas, Bryan mans in recon-
mending to the committee that Samuel
Untermeyer of New York be retained as
associate counsel. The democratic men,
bers Of the committee held session this
morning, but there were no results, ac-
Chairman Pujo.
Subcommittee to Map Plan.
subcommittee was appointed last
week to map out a plan Of procedure, and
at the time Chairman Pujo announced
that a full statement of the committee s
intentions would be made public today.
It is the understanding that Representa-
tive Henry's recommendation that Mr..
Untermeyer' be given a part in conduct
ing the proposed investigation has caused
g. hitch in the arrangements.
Members of the committee on banking
and currency are resentful over Mr..
Henry's interference" They declare that
it is rather remarkable for a representa-
tive not a member of a committee on in
ouiry to attempt to advise investigators
in the absence of request for such ad-
vice.
View of Chairman Pujo.
Chair1san Pujo made it plain last week
that it was his opinion that the commit
tee should employ the services of law
yers without political entanglements and
without affiliation with the financial
groups that are about to be made the
subject Of inquiry. Mr.. Henry seems to
be disposed to insist upon the appoint
ment Of Mr.. Untermeyer. Chairman Pujo
and nearly all Of his democratic associ-
ates are opposed to the New York man.
Accordingly House democrats are fearful
that more party linen will be washed in
public before the money trust inquiry gets
under way.

PINE RLlFFF THE PIONEER lN ARKANSAS PLAYGROUND
 MOVEMENT.

The June number of the American City Magazine contains report of an Arkansas correspondent from Van Buren, on civic work of club wome;! in Arkansas. But in giving the re- pors the correspondent evidently dld not realize that she had not suffi- ciehtly been informed as to the play ground movement in Arkansas.
 To Pine Bluff belongs the distinc- tion of being the pioneer in the play ground movement in this state. 1.-The organization of public play ground was discussed in Pine Bluff two years ago, and somewhat over year ago, the site at Sixth avenue and Main streets was secured for public playground through the efforts of Rabbi F. Frisch and the City Beauti- full Club of this city. Since that time the place has been improved, and other lots ill the city are rapidly being secured by the same civic or ganization for resting places, and recreation spots over the city. We are willing to render unto Little Rock the things that arc Little Rocks in the way of public improvements, and progression, but we claim that when the question of civic improvemnt in Arkansas is diScuSSed Pine Bluff has put herself on the map to stay, and that we are going to make ourselves known as the playground pioneers at least.

TAKE IT DOWN.

The following communication was received by the Graphic last night from prominent member of the City Beautiful club and her kick" receives the hearty endorsement of this paper:
 "The ladies of the City Beautiful Club regret to see the beauty of the Court House grounds marred by the fence that has just been erected. The committee on public grounds, assisted by County Judge c. M. Philpot, suc- ceeded in making these grounds very attractive and now the fence detracts materially from the appearance.
 The fence should be ordered remov- ed by Judge Philpot. There is no ex- cuse for erecting such an unsightly scaffolding along the river front at the rear of the Court House. If the J. Frank Hicks management or others who are interested in boat excursions or dances, that are given on the steamer, want to preserve the court house lawn let them place a more attractive fence at the rear of 1t. The City Beautiful ladies should not be imposed upon.

Will Solicit Funds
 For Davis Hospital
Committee Will Ask lCitizens for Sub. scriptiOns For Year to Aid
 in Making Improvements.

In the summer of 1910 the Davis Hospital had been ready for use for more than year, but it had no en- dowment and the management was un- willing to open the building and un- dertake to run it with no funds in sight to pay the operating expenses. About one hundred of our good citi- zens at that time agreed to pay $25O per month for one year to aid in pay ing the expense. At the expiration of the first year they were not asked to renew these subscriptions. It was hoped that it might not be necessary But the income from pay patients has not been sufficient to pay all running expenses, so it has been necessary to use for this purpose the money which was raised on tag days which was in tended for improvements. The oper- ating rooms and bath rooms need re- enameling badly, and the management is anxious to put in a relay light call system. Other repairs and improve ments are needed.
 Although without endowment the hospital has done much charity work during the twenty-two months it has been open, but to continue to do this work it must hav E more means.
 The Board of Control, composed of A. w. Nunn, F. M. Rosenberg, w. c. Hud- son, S. c. Alexander and J. D. Boyce, will call on the citizens in few days and ask for subscriptions to be paid monthly, beginning July first. The first use made of the money so con- tributed will be to make the needed repairs and Improvements. The num- Der of contributors will not be limited to one hundred this year, and the amounts may be $2.50 per month, or more, or less Please subscribe will lingly and promptly when the board calls. They are busy men. Six hun dred and twenty patients have been cared for at the hospital since it op- ened. A large per cent of them come from other towns and from the coun- try. It is a good thing for Pine Bluff. Help it while you live and give leg acy to it in your will.

 Chairman.
