REPUBLICANS TO
 MEET HERE TODAY Sixth Congressional District Committee to Name Dele
 gates to Convention.
OPPOSE COL. TAYLOR
J. l.. Long. of RisOn, Brother of l. r. Long. Will Be Nominated to Try
 and Defeat Him.

The Sixth District Republican Con- eressional convention will be held ill this city this afternoon at 2 o'clock The sessions will be held at No. 307 West Barraque street M. ,lG. Esele, of Hot Springs, is chairman of the committee and Oscar M. Spellman, of Lake Farm this county, is secretary. F'ifty-three delegates, representing twelve counties which compose the district, will be present 1t is ex- pected that there will be a warm con- test over the selection of two dele gates to the National Republican con- vention and two alternates are also to be elected. The Sixth District Committee will be reorganized, as all new committeeman are to be elected at this convention.
 It was stated last night by promin- ent Republicans that one of their number would be nominated to op- pose Colonel $. M. Taylor, of this city, the Democratic nominee for Con- gress from this district. ]. L. Long, of Rison, Cleveland county, is the on ly known aspirant for the honor and
 it was stated last night that he would in all probability be selected today by the Sixth District delegates to make the usual feeble attempt to de- feat Democratic congressional nom- inee in this district. Long is a broth CT of I. F. Long, local lawyer and magistrate, and is well known i'll Pine Bluff where he formerly lived. He was a candidate for county and prob- ate judge of Cleveland county at the last primary, on the Democratic tick ct, but was only able to poll 163 votes.
 It is believed that Charles T. Duke, of Wimar, Drew county, will be one of the delegates to the National con- vention from this district, as he has been slated by the powers that De. y Ferd Havis, the well known local Re- publican, is likely to te the other dele- gate to the national gathering, as it is known that he is being favored by some of the delegates.
 It is not likely that the two dele- gates from the Sixth District will be instructed for any one candidate for president. although if Havis is select ed as one of them Roosevelt's chances for securing share of them is cer- tain. The office holding delegates are known to favor Taft

LfYEf BOARD
 MADE BLUNDfR Misunderstood Orders and Break of Leeve May Be
 The Result.
SCARCITY OF LABOR
Greatly Ketards Work of Repairing { Breaks-Wattr Inundating More
 Territory Than in 1903.

New Orleans, La, May 17.-Govern- ment engineers today received anoth- CT discouraging report on the con(li- tlon of the levee at Conrad's Point, about six miles below Baton Rouge. This levee was reported to be in a serious condition early in the week, owing to the presence of numerous sand boils and the government forces constructed box in front of the em- hankment to check the flow of water and the levee board in charge was left the task of filling in the box. Through some misunderstanding this work was not done. The government forces were withdrawn and sent to the Bonnet levee above New Orleans and now the report comes that the more serious than it was when aid was first asked.
 The Canal street gauge indicates a drop of I of foot.
 Government engineers are making every effort to secure additional labor for the Hymelia ca&kasse and while reports received attfhe New Orleans office today indicate the ends of the break having been successfully tied, the shortage of labor is retarding the work of closing the gap.
 Water is inundating the territory more rapidly thail was the case in the 1903 crevasse and the swollen cOndi tion of Lake Desalledams Is adding to the difficulties of the situation. It is estimated that the flow through the gap will be checked within ten days.

Ii Delegates Who Were Elected .trbit- rarily Are Seated fin the Nat
 iOnal Convention.

Columbus, Ohio, May IA yelled threat to bolt the Republican party if President Taft is nominated by the seating of fraudulen,ly elected dele gates was voiced tonight by Colonel Roosevelt.
 It was while Roosevelt was pound- ing the President for winking, as he charged a; he election of delegates by fraud that the Colonel made hs threat. The Colonel adverted 70 the action of the Taft leaders in the state of Washington in holding a trump convention and arbitrarily electing fourteen dele2ates-at-large afte" shutting .he Roosevelt men Gut.
 Roosevelt attacked President Taf. for assuming to call him a Progress sive, He warned the crowd that if he, Roosevelt, is not nominated next month will help to put up react on- ary.
 Memorial hall where the Colonel spoke, was crowded to the doors: while a huge crowd tried vainly to get in. It was the climax Of day of big crowds and unbridled enthu Y. siasu1.
 Following the advice of his Ohio manager, Waltes, R. Brown, the Co'- onel was decidedly mild in his CT ti- cism of the President today. Mr. Brown fears that continuation of mud slinging mighG spli5 the party and benefit the Democrats.

WILL CLOSE STORES
 30 MINUTES EARLIER
MOVEMENT STARTED BY PROAIN. ENT WOMEN MEETS WITH
 FAVOR AMONG MERCHANTS.
Saleslalies Will Be Given More Time For Recreation This
 Summer.

Two prominent ladies of this city yesterday circulated a petition, calling on the merchants of the city to close their stores during the summer months at clock each evening, in- stead of 6.30 o'clock, as has been the custom here for many years. The petition. which was numerously sign ed, makes the new closing hour effec- tive on Monday, May 20, and 1t will remain in effect until September 20.
 Only a few of the merchants have refused to sign the petition and it is expected that they will be induced to sign it today. The Chamber of Con- merce secretary, H. G. Spaulding, has endorsed the movement. believing that it vii benefit the shoppers. the merchants and the clerks as well.
 ''Some of the merchants said one of the ladies who has the petition in charge, favor closing the stores at $ o'clock all the year round. The loea met with favor by large majority af them. In starting the movement that will end in a o'clock closing hour in Pine Bluff. we were prompted by a desire to aid the working girls. who fatigued at the close of the hot sum- mer days and who will be given thirty minutes more rest If the stores close at 6 o'clock during the summer months. It will not work hardship on the merchants because the public can be educated up to the fact that they must do their shopping earlier and they will not delay if they know that all stores will close promptly at 6 o'clock each evening"

Interest in the Packing
 Plant at Forrest City
J. \. Beeth, Secretary of the Arkan. sss Packing Company, of This
 City, and Wife, Delight fully Entertained.

The Forrest City Times, Forrest City. Arkansas, has the following to say of the visit of Mir. and Mrs. J. N. Booth, to that city. where they were the guests of MT. and Mrs. l.. R. Grob- myer:
 TWO very agreeable visitors for several days this week. at the home of Mir. and Mrs. L. R. Grobmyer, were MT. J. N. Booth and wife, of Pine Bluff. Socially they made many friends here who will accord them a warm welcome should they come again.
 MT.

Liquor Petition and Warnock Banking Measure lmOng
 the Failures.

Little Rock, May 17.-Mandamus, inlunc ion, legal opinicn and surrea. der mark the path of the |. X R. Amendment. The farther the citi- zens go in their law making capacity, the deeper they get into the mire of legal entanglement. Many think that the complications arising through the efforts to put the Amendment into op- eration will have the effect of forcing a constitutional convention to be call ed ty the next Legis lature.
 As result of Attorney General Norwood S decision that the Warnock Banking Bill, initiated by the author at considerable expense is not in proper form, and cannot therefore be certified out, MT. Warnock has decid- ed not to push the matter any furth- CT. He will instead go before the Leg islature in an effort to secure q hank ing bill, and officials of the Arkan- sa Banking Association say they will aid him in securing banking law, With the exclusion of the depositors guaranty feature, which is objection able to them. The measure will not be sent out for publication by the sec retary of state, and this will save the state $271.25 per county for the cost of publication, a total of $20,343.75.
 Little Rock city officials have agreed that since the Attorney Gen. eral has raised the question of the legality of submitting more than three amendments at one time, it will be best to bring the matter to an issue and have it decided by the Supreme Court before the election. The bond and recall amendments the last two filed, are the two that would be knocked out should this opinion pre- vail
 The Attorney General is requiring a certified check for $1OO as guar anty for the publication of petitions for local measures, pending a decis- ion of the Supreme Court on the ques- tion of their submission. A check for $1OO was put cup Friday by Claude Ringo to secure the publication of the petition for Sunday baseball in Little Rock. The Hot Springs News agrees i to publish free of cost the Garland county racing bill. The secretary of state has been mandamused to certify ou the Dallas county site removal and the Montgomery county site removal petitions, and other proceedings of a similar character may be had He has agreed to certify out any local petition if the cost of publication is guaran- teed.
 The Camden liquor petition cannot be certified out, because it provides that it was to have been voted on at the general city election April ?. The petition is therefore dead.
 The official publication of the pro- posed measures will begin next week. The Western Newspaper Union has prepared supplements including all of the measures, which are to be furn- ished the various newspapers of the State. In many instances more than one paper in a county will publish them, and by agreement, divide the pay. There is no available fund for the payment of this publication cost, but it must be appropriated by the next legislature. The cost of the va
