Ocratic Safe Central
Committee,

Hon. w. F. Coleman and former
District Attorney T. Havis Nixon, Of
this city, have been invited by the
State Democratic Central Committee
to speak in several counties of this
state in the interest of the Democratic
party, with view to piling up big
majority for Judge George w. Hays,
the Democratic nominee for governor,
and both have accepted. The COM
mittee left it with the speakers to
select their own appointments.
Mr.. Coleman and Mr.. Nixon dis
cussed the matter yesterday and have
about decided to ask the committee
to permit them to go into White
county, the Brundidge hot bed, and
it is most likely that the Pine Bluff
ians will make several speeches, to in
clude Searcy and Beebe.
Mr. Coleman was a member of the
central committee that investigated
the charge OF fraud filed by the
Brundidge supporters and is
thoroughly familiar with every detail
that confronted the recent meeting OF
that body. He would doubles en-

this. but we should give literally to
aid in sending Democratic speakers
into every county in the state to rout

Charges Were GrOundIess.
Hon. w. F. Coleman, member of the
State Democratic Central Committee,
said that he believed every Democrat
in the state should make personal
sacrifice for his party He was glad
to see the unanimous Hays sentiment
among the sheriffs for he knew their
influence and value.
1.-THE so-called contest impressed
the Central Committee that it was
not brought in good faith" said Mr..
Coleman. "The committee has three
days in which to declare somebody
nominee. The idea was to defeat the
object of the primary election and
Colonel Brundidge had absolutely no
grounds for his charges. That was
proven when the Ouachita county box
was gone into. 1t showed the same
vote as was reported and it later dew
eloped that the alleged illegal votes
cast in Smakover township in that
county, were legal. 1t was not par
tisan central committee. Several mem
bers of the committee were Brundidge
men and they voted to declare Judge
Hays the nominee"

Chief Executive Gives Many
Reasons for Rejecting
New Ordinance.
UNFAIR TO COMPANY
Says Pine Bluff Company is Deserving
J Of Consideration ut
This Time.
AS forecasted in the Graphic Thurs

day morning, Mayor Simon Bloom
yesterday vetoed the ordinance, pass
ed by the City Council last Monday
night, requiring the Pine Bluff Com
pany to equip all of it's street cars
with airbrakes. Mayor Bloom gives
good and sufficient reasons for his
disapproval of the ordinance and his
action was taken through investiga-
ton into the matter, resulting in the
thorough belief that the installation
Of the airbrakes is not practical and
that they were not at this time need
ed.
In attaching his veto to the ordi
nance, Mayor Bloom gives the follow
ing reasons for doing so:
BY virture of the authority in me
vested as Mayer, / hereby veto Ordi
nance No 1898, passed by the City
Council Of the City of Pine Bluff on
Monday, July Z, 1913, said ordinance
ing the Pine Bluff Company to equip
its cars with airbrakes, for the rea-
son that same is, in my judgement,
contrary to the public interests.
For the attention and considera-
ton of the City Council hereby state
that upon investigation find the
single truck cars now in use by said
company can not be equipped with
air-brakes, and the enforcement of
the ordinance would be equivalent to
requiring the company to discard its
cars, and purchase another and diff
ferent type Of cars. This would en-
tail great loss to the company, and
one which in my opinion is unjusti-
fled at this time. The brakes in use
upon said cars are customary upon
cars of this type, and have proven
generally satisfactory in this and
other cities, SO far as | have been
able to learn.
THE financial considerations at
this time will not warrant the forcing
OF any additional expense that is not
absolutely necessary.
THAT from information from the
city engineer and other practical men,
the equipping Of the cars now used
with airbrakes would be more dan
gerous than the brakes now used.
with the present traffic ordinan-
ces enforced, and those that / am
contemplating submitting to you in
the near future, all dangers, I think,
will be eliminated. Many citizens,
bushes men, laboring men and 9TH
ers, have expressed themselves to
me as being opposed to this ordi-
nance.
II therefore commend, with all due
respect to this honorable body, fur
thcr and careful consideration of the
matter by you, and that such an OPP
portunity may be afforded, withhold
my approval of the ordinance.
Respectively,
SIMON BLOOM, Mayor

LIGHTNING FROM FOG BANK
Captain Of Pacific Coast Schooner
Tells Of Strange 6ombard-
ment Of His Vessel.

Capt. A. Sunderberg OF the steam
schooner Wasp, which plies between
Seattle and California ports, reports a
strange experience at sea on August Z.
In report made to the Hydro
graphic Office Captain Sunderberg says
that at 10 p. M, when six miles east by
south OF Point Conception, his vessel
ran into thick fog bank which hung
close to the water.
Without the fog rising in the least,
a violent electric storm broke out, and
for one hour and IA minutes the blan-
ket OF heavy mist was pierced contin-
ually by discharges Of atmospheric
electricity and vivid flashes of angular
zigzag and forked lightning. At 1915
a. M, August S. the steel foremast OF
the Wasp became charged with cleo.
tricity from the top down to the spring
stay. Captain Sunderberg says this
was not the usual display Of ST. Elmo
fire. as the mast gave out loud reports
as If from a powerful wireless appara-
tus.
While the vessel was bombarded by
lightning which coursed down her
main mast, her officers and crew did
not venture on deck.

Naturally they don't often inspire

for instance, that you find a fat man

ladder to the heroine's easement, and
a steel cable arrangement would be
too cumbersome to carry around. He
might manage to get up a fire escape,
II 1t wasn't too narrow, but fire es-
capes aren't romantic, and then, he
isn't built right for a duel. He hasn't
the agility for 1t II it's fought with
rapiers, and II it's pistols, his oppon-
ent couldn't possibly miss him. He
couldn't swing the lady lightly to the
saddle before him and dash away at

cause his horse would have all 1t

then, don't want anybody porch

STRANGE RECOVERY OF BOY
Letter Of Sympathy From Walter
Johnson, Noted Pitcher, Works
Miracle With Washington Lad.

Warren A. Slee, thirteen years old,
lay sick for weeks. and, according to
Washington dispatch, physicians
said they did not think he would TO
cover. Then the lad went into delir-
ium and talked Of Walter Johnson, the
speed king" among the pitchers OF
the American league. He had been
the boys idol. the man Of men before
whom this lad had stood secretly in
awe, and when the mind was free the
idol OF his worship spoke to him.
When the team came back to Wash
ington from It's western trip. men,
Der Of the boys family had intuitive
sense enough to seek out the pitcher
and tell him what the doctors said.
Naturally Mr.. johnson wanted to 90
to the boys bedside, but the physi-
clans said no, that the excitement
would be fatal.
So he wrote this letter, and II was
read to the boy In an interval OF de-
lirium:
MY Dear Warren-I take pleasure
in sending you herewith one Of the
baseballs used on our western trip,
and hope that you will soon have the
opportunity Of using II with your
friends"
Pills, powders and surgery had
failed, but an idol worked another
miracle. AS IL touched by the gods Of
old, there was an immediate change
for the better. and within a remark
ably short space Of time the boy left
the hospital and was able to use the
baseball. The primitive mind had
been allowed to work.
Many noted writer's have tried In
vain to describe the psychology Of
miracles such as these, remarks the
New York Sun. Kipling and his
''Brushwood Boy" Kenneth Grahame
and his Colder Age" have essayed
to explain the mind OF boy, but 1t can
not be done. All that We know Is,
as Thackeray says, that every boy at
a stage in his life has some idol. or
course. the idols change, eventually
becoming feminine. Yet II our learn
ed uplifters would seek to learn the
name or nature OF each boys idol.
and work through 1t, instruction in
moral hygiene and eugenics would be-
come obsolete. That way progress
lies. If an idol can save life II can
do other things, for 1t represents the
boys ambition at its best and most
impressionable period.
And what matter the form the idol
