w. E. DUDLEY MAKES
 A STATEMENT

w. E. Dudley, proprietor of the Crystal Bcttling Works, East Third avenue, states that the article in yes terday's papers regarding the suit fil- ed against him by the Lemp Brewing Company, which was correct in a sense, would leave the impression that he had refused to pay the rent claim ed by the owners of the building. Ac- cording to Mr. Dudley the Lemp cem- pany is trying to obtain possession of the building by custer proceedings and that a notice was served on him yes terday to vacate the building. He stated that he rendered check to H. K Toney for the payment of the rent but the check was later returned to him with request that he vacate the building. Mr. Dudley says that he has spent about $400 in improvements and does not deem it fair that he should be forced to moved unless he is reimburs- ed by the owners.

 to Pine Bluff.

The regular semi-monthly meeting of the Chamber of Commerce trustees at the Hotel Jefferson at the Hotel at the Hotel Jefferson yesterday noon was well attended and great interest was shown in the matters discussed.

Wallace, of John Wallace Sons Co.,, dealers in building material of St. Joseph, Mich., who own a large tract of hardwood in Arkansas coun- ty, and A. H. Rowell, representing a Michigan hardwood corporation.
 The matter of satisfactory service on the Cotton Belt-Gillette branch seems to be a proposition that will not down and now that Chairman Me IntNe of the River and Rail Commit tee, has taken the matter up and gone about the work aggressively it is thought that relief may be secured. He has had the mater up with the of ficials and feels certain that Pine Bluff will get deserved consideration. Mir. Mcintyre also reported that he had driven over the streets and found that the whole trouble was traceable to neglect in the fall and that it would be impossible until the rainy season was all over.
 A letter was read from Mrs. Frank Tomlinson, of the local chapter D. A. R., stating that the Pine Bluff ladies were engaged in raising funds for a flag for the battleship Arkansas and the meeting decided that the move ment was a very laudible one and ex- pressed willingness to encourage it substantially.
 An invitation to attend the high school debate was read as was also a lengthy communication from the Catholic Colonization Society.
 Considerable time was spent III dis. cussing plan to reopen the plant of the Imperial Wheel Co.,, and it was finally submitted to the Industrial Committee for investigation and rec cmmendation.
 Special Agent Rogers of the Depart ment of Agriculture addressed the meeting relative to an agricultural exhibition in this county in the fall and as to prizes for the Boys Corn Club. The matter met with immedi- ate response several of those present pledging cash and other prizes and the executive committee was instruct ed to take the matter up and make provision for it at once. It is hoped that the pavilion for the live stock association may be completed in time for this exhibit this fall.

the prohibition laws. Then he de
clared an attempt had been made t1
assassinate him. This was followed
by the destruction of the First Bap
fist church by fire and Norris reported
second attempt had been made OF
his life, after which he travelled will
a bodyguard. Then he exhibited The
warning letters and he was indicted.

CONGRESS LIVELY THIS WEEK
Democrats and Republicans Mix Prope
Over Tariff.

washington.-The liveliest of the tar
if revision fights in the present session
of congress will break this week, when
the democratic free sugar bill and the
income, or excise bill, which goes with
it to make up the .$eo,ooo,ooo year
that will be lost in sugar duties, prob
ably, will go through the house and to
defeat in the senate. The passage OF
the bills in the house seems assured by
the democratic majority, which ratified
them in caucus. In the senate the pro-
gressive republicans will oppose put
ting sugar on the free list, and many
democrats view in alarm the loss OF so
much revenue with only measure, be-
set with the possibility of trial of its
constitutionality, as the only offset.

PRESIDENT TAFT HAS ISSUED
PROCLAMATION FOR OUR
PEOPLE TO GET OUT.
Ambassador Wilson Tells People to Get
on United States Soil and Leave Be-
longings in Hands of Our Consuls for
Protection-Warni Is Needed and
Trains Are Packed.

Washington.-The gravity of the sit
uation in Mexico caused President Taft
to issue proclamation virtually warn
ing American citizens to refrain from
resident there to leave when condi-
tions threaten to become iDtolerable.
The decision to issue such a warning
was reached at a special meeting of the
cabinet. The proclamation was aug
mented by a telegram addressed by
the state department to Ambassador
Wilson in the City of Mexico. The am
bassador was instructed to inform.
Americans in peril to withdraw across
the border, leaving their effects in the
care of nearest United States consuls.
Copies of the telegram were sent also
to all consular agents.
The president IS utterance, it was ex-
planned, was in no sense recognition
of the revolutionary movement in the
sister republic to the south. Neither
was it to be looked upon as a deelara
ton of neutrality. 1t was declared the
utterance was solely warning to
Americans to avoid anything that
might SAVIOR of partizanship in the ex-
listing state of affairs.
The proclamation is interpreted fur
Their as an expression of this country's
intention to avoid by every possible
means any chance of intervention.
CONSERVATION Among Americans.
The news quickly spread throughout
the American colony and caused ex-
element bordering on CONSERVATION.
Unquestionably the advice will be
needed by all Americans who can leave
conveniently without waiting for a
more serious state of affairs.
Already the exodus is well under
way Railroad trains east for few
days have been carrying extra sections
TO accommodate the travel, and steam
l er accommodations are well booked for
2 two weeks in advance.
No Offense to Mexico.
, The proclamation by President Taft
contains nothing Objectionable to the
Mexican people, in the opinion of Gen
eral Calero, minister of foreign rela-
tions.
President Madero read the proclama-
ton through without comment, other
than to express approval of the tenor
. of it.
