is FACING
A STRIKE


Chicago, Sept AUST as It seemed
as though the controversy between
owners of electric lines here and their
men was about to be settled today,
negotiations fell through, and dis
astrous car strike is threatened.
The break came when the officials,
Mayor Harrison and the employees
suddenly withdrew from a conference,
and the men at once issued an ulti-
matum, giving the roads "a hours to
meet their demands or face a walkout.
In explanation the employees COM
mittee said they were convinced tie
employers we're seeking to create dis
sensions among the union men, and
meantime were pursuing dilatory tao
tics They demand a single arbitra-
tion board shall settle all disputes
The officials of the roads said they
would answer the demand tomorrow

pointed in love than to be disappointed

Admitted He Shot at Man Four Times Victor illem Denied tompli-
 city In The Shooting.

Wythcville, Va, May l.--That he fired four shots at the head of Court Clerk Goad during the battle in the courthouse in IIillsville was the ad- mission made on the witness stand to- day by Claud Allen, one of the most involved of the prisoners, at the trial of his father, Floyd Allen.
 Clerk Goad fired the first shot, ' he said "lt looked as if Goad was firing at my father, who fell, so tried to get my pistol out. Before I got it out 1 heard another shot. l think it came from Uncle Sidna. fired four shots at Goads head. My pistol then snapped and l got behind Uncle Sidna. little later l left the room

 Victor Allen, another son Of Floyd Allen, and one of the eight indicted outlaws, denied complicity in the shooting. He said he had no pistol with him at the time ana after the first few shots ran from the room and down the street to livery stable where his horse was stalled. He salC he did not know who fired the frs shot but he saw Goad fire the secont shot He denied the stateemnt tha his father wore bullet shield o1 the day of the shooting.
 Walter Tipton, an attorney who was one of Aliens counsels at the pre- vious trial, witness for the defense damaged the prisoners cause by tes tifying that in last December, Judge Massie summoned Floyd and Jacl Allen before him and told them Una he intended to enforce the law, ever though he should have to call out th' militia to do so.

HAS WORLD
 WIDE CLIENTAGE
Member American Society Mechanical
 Engineers Visits City.

Pine Bluff was honored by visit yesterday from a man who is not only q recognized world authority ln ms chosen profession but is also directly ,o;ated .o America's most illustrious family. the Washington's Mr. Dixon N Washington, member of the Amer ;can Society of Mechanical Engineers, with offices in St. Louis, Paris, France and whose paternal grandfather was an own cousin of the revered George Washington, was here for day an consultation with the officers Of the Arkansas Packin Company, in rela- lion to providing the plans and doing the engineering work on the plant to he erected in this city this year.
 MT. Washington is no doubt the foremost engineer of the sort in thls country today and is recognized as an authority in all parts of the world He only returned three weeks ago from Europe where he has several contracts under way, including very ,arpe nlant at Warsaw, Russia, an- o4her in Paris, anda third one on Madagascar, just off the west coast of Africa, He also has charge of the entension of plant at Newark, N. J., at this time and is being consulted by the cities of Shreveport, La, Austin and San Antonio, Texas and Joplin, Mo as to the wisdom of erecting plants of varying capacity at each of the places mentioned. MT. Wash ,nston is familiar with most of the large packing plants Of the country and has been the designer of many of them having been in the em mDloy ot sulzberger & Sons for many years, only last year designing the plant erected by the company at Portland, Oregon.
 Nr. Washington was seen by the Graphic reporter yesterday morning b;.t;e leaving for Shreveport and was very pron ounced in his expressions as t, the prscticability of establishing a packing plant in Pine Bluff.
 T am reliably informAd,'' said he l the very start and as the history of stock to operate plant here from

1lrC very start an das the history of all the plants in new locations is that u ov cause an increase of fully 300 D cent. in the amount of live stock trouble about a continuance of the supply and the eventual enlargement of the plant.
 Questioned as to the cost of erec ton an dthe plan of a building to, take care of at least loo head of cat tie and 200 head of hogs or sheep q day Mir. Washington said
 "There is only one way to build a packing house and that is to sa ar range it as to eliminate all unneces- sary handling of the product. A DOT ton of the plant should be five stories in height and the remainder four stories affording the advantage of gravity to distribute the various parts of the carcass and the finished pro duct to the proper place without any handling whatever. A building Of this character of mill and concrete construction will not cost to exceed s125,000 including all the machinery and equipment and making all allow ances for inefficiency of workmen or other unfavorable conditions. This price will not include the cost of the land, not the digging of wells, nor the installation of tracks and stoekyards which are independent or the plant itself l would like to construct youl plant here and hope to have the con- tract
 Inquiry of Simon Whitestone, presi- dent of the company, developed the fact that an effort would be made tc begin construction of the plant by July 1 and MT. Washington is the authority for the stateemnt that the plant could be finished and ready fol operation by March 1.
 MT. L. R. Grobemeyer, of Torres City is the vice president of the Ark ansas Packing Company, J. F. Black of Texarkana, treasurer; MT. J. N
 Booth, secretary, and the director are MT. J. F. Mcintyre, Mr. A. D Foster and MT. M. E. Bloom, of Pin Bluff, and MT. w. D. Atwood, of New Edinburg, Ark.

COMMISSION
 GOVERNMENT
Hon. John Mac Vicar May Speak al
 Moon Theater May 20.

The Graphic is pleased to make the announcement this morning Of the address by Hon. John Mac Vicar, former mayor of Des Moines Iowa, at the Moon theater, East Second ave- nue, the probable date being Monday night, May 20. This meeting was ar ranged for by some of the active mem bers of the Chamber of Commerce and leading citizens and it is hoped that a good attendance of all voters and property owners will be had on this occasion.
 Not only has Mr. MacVicar enjoyed an unusually good opportunity to test in every way the efficacy of the com mission form of government but he is also a student of municipal affairs and is a recognized authority the country over He is just now coming from trip through the Eastern cities which included Washington, Atlantic City, New York and other points.
 A feature of the commission plan as presented by the speaker will en- phasize the fact that it is as much to the system as to the administrators of the city government that it's GUS cess is due. It may properly bs termed an intelligent system o1 oavernment being fashion ed along entirely practical lines, do- ing away with much of the cumber- some machinery of the old system and vesting each commissioner Wlth power and responsibility which makes for a more effective and quick er termination of pending matters than would otherwise be possible.
 This lecture is entirely free, the ex- penses bein gmet by individual sub- scriptions, and everyone is invited to be present as it is already certail' that some form of commission govern ment bill will be presented for pass age at the next session of the Arkan- sas legislature.

PROSECUTION OF PACKERS BUNCLED Either by Design or Because of Insfliciency of Those
 In Charge.
SENSATION PROMISED.
Chicago Lawyer Puts Data Into Hands of Senators-Brifi oi
 Counsel To Be Asked For

Washington, May 1.-The Interna- tiona' \ .Ms Service is ill possession of information that the government $ case against the beef packers at Chi cago recently decided in favor of the packers, was bungled, either by de- s.gn CT because of inefficiency ot these in immediate charge of the prosecution.
 Statements tending most strongly to ccrroborate this view have been made to several senators during the last two or three days. Requests for an immediate transcript of the records in this case and the brief of counsel for 3he government has been made. As soon as the legal phases of the question can be Investigated by lawyers of the Senate a pubEc $. .atement will be made on the floor of the Senate.
 Until these briefs have been care fully scanned the lawyers who are in possession of this information will not disclose the point they believe will justify the condemnation of the Department of Justice that is bound to follow. Two days ago one of the biggest lawyers of Chicago was in Washir g'>on and called upon two well known Senators, both of whom are lawyegs of ability and reputation and laid all the facts, so far as he knows them, before the senators.
 The statements of this attorney have aroused the keenesE interest among the few Democratic lawyers who have been made acquainted witt the facts. The Department of Jus tice is yet to hear of this matter and when it breaks, sensation is p:omls' ed iH
