ritory, and because of the fact that the recent report of the United States Agricultural Department shows that there are more than one million head try surrounding Pine Bluff, stockhold- CTS are fully confident that the en- terprise will be tremendous success, not only financially for the investors, but in the way of developing stock growing and the business interests of this state.
 The meeting of the Directors yes~ terday was attended by Simon White stone, A. D. Foster, w. D. Atwood, of New Edinburgh; ]. F. Mcintyre, M E. Bloom, J K Black of Texarkana; J. N. Booth, and P. P. Byrd At the meeting the following report was sub mtted by the finance committee and adopted
 We respectfully beg to report as follows: Our Mr. Bloom has made a careful investigation of the affairs and reports as per attached exhibit-mark- ed "A,' and referring to same we would call your attention to the de- lay of several days in completing his work, occasioned by the Office of Treasurer being in TeXarkana. This should be remedied by all records be- ing in Pine Bluff.
 ''The president of this company should be a citizen of Pine Bluff, and one whose name is more or less iden- tified with this city MT. Whitestonc has repeatedly assured this commit tee that he is anxious to turn tae office over to such man, and We suggest that the company tender this office to Mr. P. P. Byrd.
 The treasurer of the company comes under the same idea. We sug- gest the company tender the office to MT. M. D. Bloom.
 We recommend that the com pany accept from the land company site for factory purposes strip of land as blocked out in red ink.
 The Packing Company should also arrange in some way to have ample land adjoining the site set aside for stock yard purposes.

PINE BLUFF, ARKANSAS, SATURDAY MORNING,

'''a' 'le steam roller had been blind- ly seating Roosevelt supporters in the name of Taft. The fact that Banks iiao deserted them in such a public and mfeellng fashion spread oloom through the Taft camp and to all the outlying precincts thereof. It indicat- ca detection which upsets seriously the lalt tables and estimates of votes which had been given out earlier in the day. The estimate as compiled bv Director Mckinley footed up 595, as gwen out publicly by Barnes. it was o6S. When Barnes was asked nriyate- ly Just how many delegates he expect- ed to get he figured it down to 565 and later to 560 This latter figure was agreed on by Penrose. the real Taft boss, but Penrose added, .if we can hold them"
 The Roosevelt figures were 569 and no one attached to the Colonel's crowd would lower them. These fie- ufes, according to a Roosevelt insider. are not based on any tables that have been given out, but on private infor- nation as to the number of delegates who are leaving the Taft column and go straight into the Roosevelt col umn. Banks is one of those and it is confidently reported that there are many more.
 senator Crane, who again had to halt the roller today for an overhaul ing, is really worried tonight. Crane and Penrose both know that the Me- klnley table is given out for general consumption that MT. Barnes is talking for publication when he claims that there are 560 delegates who will vote for Taft on the first ballot.
 Just how many who will support the president nobody knows tonight as the game of trying to find out is occupying all the time of the big leaders on both sides.
 The National Committee, as Sena- tor Borah predicted, got under way with a full head of steam after rest over night and sailed into the con- tests just as if there had never been any pause. Fourteen were seated before three o'clock in the afternoon, making the score to date for the con- testants Taft, 173; Roosevelt, 15. The days result were as follows:
 Oklahoma, two; South Carolina, two; Tennessee, eight; Alaska, two. All fourteen for Taft.

FEDERATION
 SCHOLARSHIPS
Organization of Arkansas Women Tells How They May Be
 Obtained.

The Arkansas Federation of Wo- mems Clubs has issued the following circular concerning the scholarships at the University of Arkansas offered by that organization
 The Arkansas Federation of Wo- mems Clubs offers two scholarships in the University of Arkansas, one for young men and one for young wo- men, for the purpose of making the university better known and appre- ciated throughout the state and to give the young men and women from small places the advantages of the state university.

Robert R. Mccormick Sug- gests That Waters Should
 Be Diverted Into Lake.
A FLOOD PROTECTION
Three Routes for Changing Course the Shortest Being 152 Miles
 From River to Lake.

Chicago, June 14-Prevention oi Mississippi floods by the construction of a channel to divert the head water of that river into Lake Michi- gan was the novel suggestion of Rob- cit R. Mccormick, former president of the Chicago Sanitary District, in his opening address of the Mississippi Valley Interstate Drainage Congress, which opened at the Hotel La Salle today.
 The conference was called by Gov ernor Dineen to determine ways and means fer controlling the destructive floods of the Mississippi river.
 MT. Mccormick, who acted as chairman of the conference, declared that the control of the Mississippi floods and the reclamation of the overflowed lands is a great national problem, and should be taken up by the government at once.
 "Confining the treachercus water  between high levees has proven un- satisfactory he declared, "and I believe commission should investi- gate a plan of diverting the Upper Mississippi waters, into the Lake, thus relieving the flood situation in the South.
 "I have found that there are three possible routes for such channel. The first from St. Paul to Green Bay, a distance of 259 miles; the second from La Crosse Wisconsin, to Mil waukee, 1e5 miles, and the ot..er from Galena, Ill., to Chicago, 152 miles"
 ''The Mississippi floods this year caused a damage estimated at $20O,- 000,000. At this rate the. construc- tion of such diversion channel would be profitable undertaking"

CLASH ON SUNDRY CIVIL BILL DEBATE Sherley and Lafferty Garry Debate to a Matter of
 Courtesy.
WORK OF THE SENATE
Chemical Schedule Under COnsidera- ton in the Upper
 House.

Washington, June 14-Debate on the Sundry Civil Bill in the House to- day was eniivened by sharp clash between Representatives Sherley, of Kentucky, and Lafferty, of Oregon, which ended when the formsr took the latter to task for his lack of common courtesy ill debate and de- cIined further to yield the fleor to him.
 The trouble arose during a debate on the $o00000 appropriation for secret agents of the Land Office who unearthed the recent scandal in Alaska and other alleged land frauds.
 Lafferty introduced an amendment cutting the appropriation to S100.000 and during his speech denounced tho secret agents. She1ley then started to defend the bill and was interrupt cd by Lafferty, who before getting permission to speak asked him question. When Sherley declined to yield Lafferty said "the gentleman may shake his head with contempt and refuse to allow me to speak, but he will scon be convinced that he is wrong"
 In voice shaking with rage Sher- ley replied:
 ''The gentleman from Kentucky de- clines at all times to yield the floor to man so utterly lacking in the courtesy of debate as the gentleman from Oregon"
 After ten days consideration the Senate today passed the bill making appropriations fer the legislature, executive and judiciary branches of the government
 Consideration of the bill revising the chemical schedule was begun and Senator Johnson, of Maine, spoke in support of the measure. The Senator agreed to vote on the bill on July 2.
 w. B. Thompson, secretary of the Republican Congressional Committee, was examined by the committee ap- pointed to inveNtigate the campaign contributions for 1904 and 1908. As he occupied the position of treasurer only for a few months and received no contributions nothing of impor- tance was learned from him.
 A Night Session.
 Washington, June 14-nhe Senate sat tonight until 11:10 to complete consideration of the Sundry Civil Bill which may be passed finally tomor- row. All disputed sections of the bill were passed over because of the lack of a quorum.

ROOSEVELT HAD
 NARROW ESCAPE Train On Which He is Ira yelling to Chicago Struck a Boulder Near Tarrytown. WEIR E SH AIKEN UP None of the Passengers Iniured--Ex- President and Party on the
 Lake Shore.
w FER E SHAKEN UP

Albany, N. Y., June Hon Board the Lake Shore Limited with Colonel Roosevelt en route to Chicago9- With a jar that violently shook the train the Lake Shore Limited of the New York Central Railroad on which Colcnel Roosevelt is riding to Chicago to assume control of his battle for the Presidency, struck a boulder to- night about Tarrytown, while one hour out from New York.
 Colonel Roosevelt and his party, occuping a compartment car not quite half way down the train from the engine. were shaken up, along with the other passengers, but no one was hurt
 That a grave accident did not be- fall the ex-president's party is due to John McAuliffe, the engineer of the train, who says the queerly freakish fact that a chip boulder flew into the ailbrakes, promptly shutting them down and stopping the train.
 The cars most serious damage of those into which the boulder jumped was the Colonel's.
 The accident occurred about two miles North of Tarrytown, home of John D. Rockefeller, the oil magnate.

FLAG DAY WAS A
 BIG SUCCESS HERE
PINE BLUFF DRESSED IN NATION. AL COLORS DOES HONOR TO
 OLD GLORY.
D. A. R. Ladies Carried Days Pro. gram Out Without a Hitch
 The Festivities.

With flags waving from the tops of majority of residence in the city and all the downtown stores exhibit ing show windows draped and hung with the national colors, the city was in fine mood for celebrating Flag Day yesterday The celebration planned was in keeping with the handsomely decorated city also. There was not hitch in the program ar ranged by the D. A. R. ladies as car ried out at Forest Park. The cars were crowded all during the afternoon with interested Pine Bluffians going to Forest Park and continued so un- til last night when the crowning fea- ture of big day came with the dance in the park auditorium. Several hundred couples attended while hun dreds of other people wandered through the brilliantly lighted bikes of the park and patronized the differ ent concessions.
 The afternoon of yesterday was vir- tually holiday in all business lines. Some few stores remained open, but the greater number were closed from 2 o'clock during the rest of the after noon and allowed their employees to spend the day in the festivities.
 Band concerts were heard in the downtown districts early in the after noon and later the band of sixteen pieces, led by MT. Scott, went to For est Park and conducted concert all afternoon. The sight of handsomely decorated automobiles filled with lovely ladies was inspiring. All day long they dashed through the downtown dis tricts and a continuous steam pour ed out and in on the best driving streets of the city. All were alike in decorations, being done in the nation- al colors.
 The unusual and enthusiastic cele- bration of Flag Day is due to the ef- forts of the ladies of Pine Bluff Chap ter D. A. R., who managed the cele- bration at the park in order to raise fund for the purchase of flag for the United States Battleship "Arkan- sas.' From all indications the cele- bration was a complete success.
