MADE A HAUL ON
ARKANSAS BANK
CITIZENS FOUGHT ROBBERS FOR
TWO HOURS, BUT COULD !,
NOT oVERPoWER THEM.

Fo't Smith, Ark, April PA small
party of itizens fought a two-hour
Gattle with four robbers at Midland,
thirty miles south of here, in this,
Sebastian county, before dawn today;
but the marauders escaued with loot
estimated at $4,000 Four explosions
wrecked the vault and safe of the
Bank of Midland, awakening the
townspeople.
The robbers set fire to the bank
building upon taking flight, and val
liable papers burned probably will
double the loss. The flames, however,
were soon extinguished.
The entry of the robbers into the
town was accomplished quietly, and it
is believed an hour or moe after
midnight. Evidences of their work of
preparation show that the robbery
had been carefully planned. The tele-
phone exchange is in the second story
of the bank building. All wires were
cut. The first explosion was muffled
and created no widespread alarm, al
though several persons told today of
having been awakened by it, and of
having gone back to sleep, only to be
awakened by the second, which was
followed by third of a greater force
than those preceding.
Realizing that something was amiss,
people began communicating with
neighbors in all sections of the lit
tie town. Almost every able bodied
man in Midland was awake when the
fourth explosion occurred. Attempts
to Use the telephone led to suspicion
that robbers were al work.

The witness could not give it. The
committee chairman demonstrated

which the Titanic's position hal been
determined.
The witness became excited when
Senator Smith told him a note had
been passed to the committee table
which declared Lowe had been
drinking on the night of the wreck.
Ne drinking?" Lowe exclaimed ex-
citedly. mpossible-that's rubbish

Lowe repeated that he did not know
when he was awakened on the night
of The collision. He said he dressed
huri9dly and went on deck and found
people donning life belts and the boats
being prepared.

Il could feel by my feet that some
thing was wrong" he said. "The YES

How many officers were helping
you on that boat?"

Close Vote in This
County is Expected
INDICATIONS ARE, HOWEVER,
THAT UNDERWOOD WILL RE-
cEIVE A MAJORITY.

In view Of the fact that there has
been very little interest manifested
in This county in the presidential
primary to be he'd next Wednesday,
1t Is rather hard to predict who will
receive the majority of the votes of
the county, Woodrow Wilson or 0s-
car w. Underwood, but those who
have been evincing some interest in
the primary are of the opinion that
Congressman Underwood will carry
the county.
Although there are four or five can
dtdat IS for the defocratic nomination,
only two of them will be voted for in
Georgia next Wednesday, the others
having been entirely eliminated from
the race. The fight for Underwood,
in shis state, has been led by the At
lanta Constitution, while the Atlanta
Journal has championed the cause OF
Governor Wilson. These two papers
have made every effort to bring about
an 'gly fight. but it seems that the
voters, tired Of the political battles
wagsd by these two papers, have not
taken any interest in the fight. They
will 60 to the polls Wednesday and
cast their ballots for the man whom
they think best qualified to lead the
democracy in the coming nationai
campaign.
AS Glynn county's primary is also
to be held Wednesday, when all the
county officers are to be elected, it
is expected that a large vote will be
polled, and the indications are that
Congressman Underwood will receive
a majority of the votes Of the county.

VOTERS GIVEN
OPPORTUN|IYTO
EXPRESS VIEWS
AS TO whether OR NOT THEW
FAVOR NEW CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE.
At County Election on Wednesday
They Will Decide Whether Or Not
County and City Should Make Ap-
preparation for Organization.

The voters of Brunswick and Glynu
county will on next Wednesday. when
the county primary and presidential
preference primary are to be held, ex-
press themselves upon a matter OIL
vital Importance to the city and coun-
ty just at this time. The vote WiIH
be taken just to show that a large
majority of the people of the county
are in favor of the organization of
new commercial body and that they
belle Ie that such an rganizatloS with
a paid secretary, should be main
tanned by the CITY and county.
At the election of Wednesday, the
voters will show whether or not they
favor the petition to be presented to
the county commissioners for an ap-
prpriation of $4,000, half the amount
need ID for the expenses of the new
chamber of commerce. AS has peeu
previously stated in these columns,
the committee which has the organr-
zation of the new body in charge has
already made petition to coupcil for
an appropriation OF $4,000 and at the
next meeting of the county commits
sionars a similar request will be
made.
In order to ascertain just how the
people stand on the matter, 1t has
been suggested that they be permit
ted to vote on the question in the
primary on next Wednesday. On the
ticket to be voted will be added two
lines "for the appropriation" and
against the appropriation" and all
voters will be requested to express
themselves on the subject. OF course
the ajority either way will not make
any legal difference; but it is to be
done at the suggestion of various
members of the committee and one
or Two of the commissioners, who are
anxious to see whether or not the
people of the county are in favor OF
the appropriation and the new COM
mercial body.
That a great majority of the voters
will c& st their ballots in favor Of the
there is but little doubt,
and their action will have its weight
with the commissioners when the Pc
tition is formally presented to them.
II it is demonstrated that a majority
of The voters of the county favor the
then the commissioners
will hal dly hesitate in making it. The
plan is a very good one and has been
endorsed by both the commissioners
and the chamber of commerce COM
mitt2e.

The witness said that while it had

on the 1st of April, it was postponed
because there was a breeze. In fact,
the witness said, it was almost

The witness said that there had
been no test for speed on the Titanic.

of making from twenty-four to twen-
ty-five knots an hour.

Love said that before the Titanic
sailed there was one crew drill. His
memory of the drill appeared hazy
and in extenuation he said he was a
complete stranger on the ship.
He said he could not remember
whether there was fire drill after
the skip sailed. He explained that
most of the Titanic's officers were
stra agers to each other. Lowe said
he had seen only one iceberg in his
career prior to the collision. This one
was off Cape Horn.
He said he thought the Titanic was

olympic Sailors Strike.

Southampton, Eng, April 24.-Three
hundred of the fremen anG greasers
belonging to the crew of the Olympic
struck five minutes before the White
Star liner was due to sail today for
New York. The men deserted the
ship il body. They gave as their
reason for striking that the collapse
BILE lifeboats installed on the vessei
were unseaworthy.
A Geputation of men employed in
the engine room of the Olympic called
on .he officers of the ship ard on
Commander Clarke, the CHER OF the
emigration office in Southampton, to
whom they declared that the collap-
sible craft on the Olympic were very
flimsy.
They refused to sail unless wooden
lifeboats were substituted for the COL
lapsible ozes, and also demanded
that two additional seamen be signed
on for each boat.
Commander Clarke argued with
the men, explaining that it was ina
possible to procure wooden l1reboats
in lime. He assured them that he
had previously examined all the col
lapsi5le boats and was perfectly sat
isfied with them.
Commander Clarke offered to take
the Oily mpic to the Cowes Roads and
allow any of the @rew to select any
boat or boats on board and he Woulo
prove by demonstration that they
were absolutely safe.
The men refused to be convinced
and left the ship in body.

BOARD OF EDUCATION DEMANDS
.255 PER CENT OF TOTAL RE-
..4 CE19TS oF,HTHE CITY.
Meeting Was Held Yesterday After
noon for the Purpose Of Reaching
Decision as to Just What Percentage
the Board Would Demand.

The board of education held a meet
ing at the courthouse yesterday after
noon for the purpose of deciding upon
just what amount the board is to re-
quire of the city during the coming
year, and after considerable discus
sion, it was agreed that the city would
be requested to devote to the board,
for educational purposes, .255 per
cent of the gross income of the city,
which is equal to 1856 on the $1,000.
Under the recent charter amend
ment, passed by the last session OF
the legislature, the city was given
the authority to sell all Town Com
mons property, the revenue from
which formerly went to the board of
education, and at the same time the
board was given the authority to- de-
mand of the city a certain percentage
of its gross receipts each year. Mem
bers of the board have figured just
how much it takes to maintain the
schools of the county for the year, and
with money received from other
sources, it was decided to demand
of the city the percentage stated
above. .,...- :
In all, the city will pay to the board
each year approximately $4,000
which will be an increase of three or
four thousand dollras over the amount
paid in the past. This money Will
