 IN SALARIES HERE Cotton Belt Dished Out a Handsome Payroll in This
 City Yesterday BIGGEST IN HISTORY Full Force is Employed in Every De- partment at Shops and Over

It was stated on reliable authority yesterday that the Cotton Belt rail- road company paid out to it's em- ployees in this city on that day the biggest sum ever paid from the local office of the company in the history of the company here, for any one month. It was stated that the company gave out checks to it's employees, as a semi- monthly payroll, aggregating $1O1 ,O0O The largest amount ever paid to it's local employees by the company was a little more than $90,O00 and this was for one month. The big sum "dished out" yesterday was for only fifteen days.
 The Cotton Belt is working full force in every department at it's To- cal shops and it's road men are being increased daily. Men are said to be wanted in every department. The coming fall business of the company u OC CANOPtiOA0AJ AOAvy and the local officials of the big sys- tenn are making preparations to han dle it promptly and systematically.
 While in the city few weeks ago President and General Manager F. H Britton, of St. Louis, informed Mayor Simon Bloom at a conference held here the evening of his visit, that his company was planning to give Pine Bluff the biggest payroll 1t has ever enjoyed. His statement has been car ried out to the letter. aa
 All the Cotton Belt boys were happy last night and the streets downtown were crowded with shoppers. The To. cal merchants report fine trade and g large majority of the shop boys paid bills literally.

WHIP PHOTOGRAPHER
White SIayers Get fingered When Camera Men Attempt to Snap
 Shot Them.

San Francisco, Aug. 16-A warrant was sworn out today by Police Judge 1; Shortell for the arrest of Maury Diggs, defendant in the White slave
 trial now going oa in the United
 States Judge Van Fleets court on
 the charge of assaulting news.
 paper photographer. The warrant was issued after R. C. Ramsey, an attor> ney and friend of Diggs, had been convicted on similar charge
 The trouble occurred after adjourn ment of court oa Friday afternoon, when several camera men attempted to take snap shots of the Diggs and Caminetti party as they left the court room by rear entrance. Diggs and several of his companions made a rush at the photographers and general fight followed, in which two of the photographers were roughly handled and their careras smashed.
 Anthony J. Caminetti, brother of Drew Caminetti, one of the defend- ants in the white slave case, ap- peared as attorney for Ramsey. Ramsey was found guilty and will DC sentenced Monday
 When the Diggs white slave trial is resumed Tuesday, Mrs. Maury l. Diggs, wife of the defendant, and Mrs. Drew CanMnetti, wife of his con- panion in the fulight to Reno, will be among the first witnesses to take the stand. The young women have forgiven the past and will do every thing possible to keep their hus- bands out of the peaitentiary.
 From the opening statement of Robert Delvin, chief counsel for the defense, it was evident that Diggs and Caminetti will make but slight to impeach the testimony o1 Miss Warrington and Miss Norris. Diggs it is said, will take the stand in his own behalf on Wednesday, He will be followed by Caminetti. Both will contend that the trip to Reno was the result of panic over the threatened arrest and exposure of their relations with Marsha Warning ton and Lola Norris, and that they invited the two girls to accompany them because of their fear that Mrs. Diggs and Mrs. Caminetti would cause their arrest. It is expected the case will go to the jury next Thurs day or Friday.

MILL HANDS FIGHT
 ONE WILL DIE Nathan Oliver Uses Axe in Self Defense on Frank
 Ferr;
IS NOW IN CITY JAIL
Perry'S Head Was Almost Severed From His sI'Ody When Cut
 in the Neck.

Nathan Oliver, negro about 45 years old. was arrested last night at o'clock by Assistant Chief w. D. Five ash and Patrolman Mitchell, charged with assault with intent to kill
 The negro that Oliver attempted to kill is Frank Perry, who now lies at his home with his head nearly severed from his body. caused by Oliver chop bitted axe, the blade of which pene- tratod nearly half way through the negro's thick neck.
 The trouble leading up to the att tack began when Perry came to the slave mill of R. M. Fletcher, No 2206 West Fourth avenue, yesterday after noon and endeavored to persuade some of the negro employees there to quit and go to another mill
 Oliver, who appears to be all honest and industrious negro. and in whom evidently Mir. Fletcher has some confi- denoe. since he had left the pay checks for the men in the hands of Oliver to be given them when they quit work, requested Perry to refrain from his attempt at influencing the men. This request served to only make Perry the more persistent and in his talk he indulged in much pro- fanity and vulgarity. While relieving himself of an especially vulgar tirade, Oliver saw his wife coming toward the mill and asked Perry to hush. Upon this request Perry started toward Oliver with the declaration that he would "beat his brains out" Oliver backed away from the negro and told him not to follow. Perry continued to come toward Oliver, who had back ed away to his "kit" of tools, a sack Z containing his axe, wedge, etc., used in the work in the woods of getting out timber. Seeing that Perry was evidently not going to stop, Oliver pulled the axe from the sack and struck at Perry's head. The negro lodged and the keen edge of the axe struck him on the back and side of the neck, entering almost to the handle. The negroes standing by carried Perry to a nearby cabin, where g phy- sician was summoned who dressed the wound, but who expressed his be- lief that the injured man would not survive the night. At 12 o'clock last night he was still alive.
 Oliver, when seen in cell at the city jail, said that Perry was consid- cred somewhat of bully" among the negroes and that he was afraid of him. He talked calmly about the af- fair, saying that if any punishment was due him for his act, that he was ready to take it.
 After the cutting Oliver went to his home, secured his rifle and took his seat. He said that he did not know but that some of the negroes might attempt to do him harm, and he secur- ed his gun for protection. He had negro woman telephone police head quarters and surrendered quietly when the officers arrived.

Albany, Aug. 16-Unless the chaotic condition of public business occasioned by William SulZers in sistence that he is governor is speedi- ly strengthened out the states affairs will be in such snarl that it will require extraordinary sessions ot half a dozen courts to untangle them
 The vouchers signed by Acting adjutant generals office, were flatly turned down today by the First Nat ional Bank, of which John A. Dix is director The ground stated to the disappointed soldiery was that the bank handled much state money and that it cannot afford to take chance on paying any of it out without court ruling.
 Sheriff Beckner, of Buffalo, sent word to the capital that he would hold firmly to the custody of the Ital- ion prisoner of Cleveland, Ohio, fu- gitive whom Mir. Glynn signed ex- tradition papers. Becker also wants a court rulifg.
 SulZer today made another appeal to MT. Glynn to take his claim to the governorship on court decision, but this Mir. Glynn ignored.
 In the attorney generals office an opinion that MT. Glynn is the gover- nor with all the governors powers, has been drawn up, but as yet no of- ficial has called for it.
 Although every state officer not appointed by MT. Sulzer professes to regard Mr. Glynn as governor, all are extremely cautious about doing any work till the political fog clears away.
 Meanwhile Sulzer with his detec- yes to protect him wades through stacks of mail in the executive cham Der and holds it against all corners. Apparently the government of the United States regards Sulzer as the governor, for all mail addressed to "The Governor" is taken directly to him by the uniformed letter carriers and his secretary signs for registered letters and packages.
 Despite the opinion of the attorney general that the assembly had the right to impeach Mir. Sulzer and that Y Sulzer should vacate his office, this is certain:
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1913-08-17

AS long as SulZer maintains his po- sltlon In the executive chamber, not only many thousands of citizens but many state officers as we'll believe he has some right to be there and that there is real qrestion as to who is governor.
 Until some of the questions already raised like the validity of Glynn's sig nature on bank checks and the re- qulsltloa papers are made the sub ject of ruling, kle business of this state will be attended with much confusion, if indeed 1t can be rraus> acted at all.
 MT. Sulzer expected to leave this morning for Coppertown with his wife, but partly because of her ill., ness and partly because of his fear that he would be deposed in his ab- sence he decided to remain.
 Charges Conspiracy. Albany, N. Y., Aug 16.-That a con- spiracy was matched by Wall Street and Tammany Hall to get Governor Snlzer hopelessly entangled and in their clutches-a conspiracy with a woman as it's unwilling victim-will be charged as basis of the defense of the impeached governor if the im- peachment comes to trial.
 Sulzer and his counsel cohfidential- ly hope that it will not. They be- lieve the action of the assembly will be declared unconstitutional and that the impeachment court will never as- semble.
 The high points of the conspiracy showing upon which Sulzer has built his hopes of complete vindication are these:
 That while Sulzer was away cam paigning Matthew T. Horgan, who was living at the Sulzer home and keeping Charles r. Murphy informed of events, gave Mrs. Sulzer the tip on Big Four"
 At that time Sulzer was in debt $4S, 1000 and Mrs. Sulzer saw an op- portunity to rehabilitate the family fi- nances by acting on this market tip. She was assured it could not go wrong.
 Campaign contributions had been coming in large amounts and she took the tip regarding her act as a legitimate temporary loan and bought stocks. She was assured there would be an immediate and sensational rise in the price of Big Four and she could take her profits and reimburse the campaign funds.
 That her bank book and memoran- dunn of these transactions was stolen so she would be unable to furnish the truth of her acts, if ever called upon to do so.
 It is claimed that Louis A. Sardeky Sulzer's private secretary, had full knowledge of these transactions anG | aided Mrs. Sulzer in carrying out her plan to habilitate her husbands fi- nances. He is looked to by the Sulzel

Mental Strain Of Driving a Railroad
" Filler al Is Miles an Hour.

In the March American Maya
zine. Albert w. Atwood writes a
most interesting article entitled,
"Why Railroad Wrecks Increase. /"
The following is an extract showing
the engine drivers relation to the
problem:
Dean R. Wood, who takes the
Twentieth Century Limited from
Syracuse to Albany, was recently
asked at public hearing what his
running time was between the two
points. He replied:
=" Two hours and forty-two min
utes. That's 148 miles in 1852 min
utes. We are allowed to make up
twelve minutes for lost time, which
we might drop. We can only go
through Syracuse at eight miles
an hour. so that we have to run
about seventy to seventy-five miles
an hour to get in on time. In 148
miles we meet ISL stop signals,
which must locate in all kinds of
weather, and if any of them are out
Of order I report the number of
the signal when we get in.
Imagine the dangers and respon-
sibilities which this man meets In
fair or foul weather, In snow. in
rain, in billiards., in fogs, through
out the year. His vision must be
geared for starlight. for moonlight,
or for black darkness or driving
storm. to locate, as he dashes by,
those ISL signals in 148 miles, the
loss of any one OF which might
mean death in the ditch. A lead
ing railroad authority has been
forced to admit that it is, doubtful.
if any human being can properly
manage an engine and locate a sig
nal every thirty-five seconds. How
can the human element be de-
pended upon when 1t is beiuE
strained to the limit? There are
very few accidents on branch lines,
although these are usually innocent
of block signals and other safety
appliances. Is this because the hui
man element is better on branch
lines? Quite the contrary. The
best men run on the filters. But
on the branch lines average speeds
Of twenty and twenty-five miles an
hour are the rule, whereas on main
lines they average from forty to
fifty-five miles, or even more"
