The city council spent most of it's semi-monthly session last night pass ing ordinances, although some routine business was disposed of. Mayor Si- mon Bloom presided and all of the aldermen answered the roll call, ex- cept Alderman Fred Fox and Alder man Ben Veil, who are out of the city.
 One of the most important ordin- ances approved by the aldermanic body at the session was the traffic ordinance, which will regulate traffic on the public streets beginning this morning, as it becomes effective at once. The council also authorized Chief of Police Frank Stewart to en- ploy two extra patrolmen, who will be used to enforce the ordinance for two months at least in order to edu- cate the public along it's provisions.
 An ordinance, providing for the re- moval of garbage from hotels, res taurants, boarding houses, private residence, etc.. was also adopted. The Board of Public Affairs is given auth ority to contract for the removal of the garbage. .--
 An ordinance regulating excavations that are made in paved streets, was passed. This ordinance will require firms and individuals making excava- tions to first secure permit from the city engineer. A majority of the com mttee on public works and the mayor must also approve the permit before it becomes operative. The one making excavation is also required to give bond to insure the repair and replac- ing of the street in good condition.
 An ordinance, regulating the width of tires used on loaded vehicles run ming over paved streets, was passed. This ordinance limits vehicles to 5000 pounds and fixes the width of tires to the load carried The 5000 pound limit may be exceeded provided the vehicle carrying a heavier load shall have six inch tires. ...
 A resolution was adopted granting Mrs. C. G. Broadway the use of cer- tain alleys between Texas and Ten 'nessoe streets and south of Sixth ave- nue to Eighth avenue. This was grant ed Mrs. Broadway in order to permit her to open a street for the city in that section.
 The traffic ordinance adopted last night makes it compulsory that all vehicles, autos, wagons, etc., shall come to a full stop when street cars are discharging passengers. The or dinance follows:
 Section One-That it shall be un' lawful for any person to drive any ve- hicle or to ride any horse, bicycle or motorcycle on any of the streets in the city of Pine Bluff, Arkansas. at a speed that is greater than reasonable

STEAMER SINKS WITH ALL ABOARD State of California Strikes Rock and Thirty Are
 Drowned
RESCUED ALSO DIE
Women Locked Arms Around Each Other and .Jumped.-BOat
 Valued at *I.Ott), ,OOO.

Seattle, Washington, Aug. 1S.- Twenty five passengers and seven seamen were lost when the Steamer State of California of the Pacific Steamship Company's fleet struck an unchartered rock and was wreck ed in Gandier Bay, Alaska, at 9 o'clock Sunday morning. The steam CT sank within three minutes after striking and many passengers were drowned before they could get out of their states rooms. Dispatches from Juneau says that it is impossible to give the correct list of the missing as the purser saved no records.
 News of the wreck and the heavy loss of life did not reach Juneau url- til noon today, when the Steamship Jefferson arrived with some of ths passengers and crew, who had been rescued from the icy waters.
 Among the dead are Mrs. Nellie B. Ward, wife of Edward C. Ward, as- sistant general manager of the com pany at Seattle, and their daughter, Miss Illie Ward, who succumbed to exposure after her resuce.
 Miss Ward and several members of the crew of the State of California were found clinging to a rock by the crew of the Jefferson. Locked in each others arms, Mrs. Ward and her daughter jumped overheard after the State of California struch the rock. The mothers body was found near the wreck. Miss Ward was picked up by six members of the crew, who had taken to a rock. For more than twenty-four hours they drifted in the seas among the ice floes until sigrt- ed by the Jefferson, which was from Seattle.
 Members of the crew found on the rock could hardly be called survivors because they were more dead than alive All but one died before arriv- ing at Juneau.
 
 speed to Gambler Bay. AS it ,neared the scene of the wrecked vessel, a score of survivors who had taken to the life boat, were rescued. Many bodies, bouyed up by life preservers, were also found floating in the sea.
 Ten passengers, suffering from ex- until recentlv comnlied hetween San now in the hospital at Janeau. Others are being taken to Seattle by the Steamship Jefferson.
 The State of California left San Francisco on July to go into the Alaska summer service. Captain T. H. Cam, the commander, was master of the Steamer Valencia when it was lost at Cape Beatle, British Columbia, on January p, 1906, with IF lives.
 The State of California sailed from Seattle last Wednesday night. The vessel, cargo, mail and express is a total loss. the estimated value being more than $1,0O0,00O.
 The vessel was one of the oldest and best known on this coast and until recently ulied between San Francisco and Portland. It was built in Philadelphia in 1879. About year ago it was laid up in Seattle and underwent repairs, costing about | $10O,00O.

Mexico City, Aug 1S.--News of Gen. eral Huerta's defiance of the United States through his flat and uncondi- tional refusal to accept any and all offers of mediation, presented by En- voy Lind, occasioned the greatest sur prise here in view of the tenor and the reports in diplomatic circles since the arrival of President Wilson's en- voy.
 It was considered almost certain that the provisional president would meet half way the proffered aid and advice of the republic to the north and many foresaw not only an end to the crisis in the relations between the two countries which have existed now since practically the beginning of the present Washington administra- tion, but also the end to the internal strife which is causing so much loss of life and property in Mexico and not little anxiety to the United States and other foreign countries.
 Huerta's defiance of today not only disrupts these hopes, but it strains the relations between the countries to a far greater point than yet reached in the long continued crisis.
 Following the rejection of the Am erican proposal it was officially stated that the United States would have un- til midnight to recognize the existing government in Mexico The ultimatum came direct from Huerta
 No alternative was set forth in the ultimatum, but the usual action in a case of this kind is the notification of the government involved that the presence of it's representatives is no longer desired.
 Nelson O'Shaughnessy, who served as American charge d'affairs here while Henry Lane Wilson was am- bassador, is now acting ambassador. If he is notified to leave the country John Lind and Dr. William Bayard Bale will undoubtedly receive similar treatment. They are both personal representatives of President Wilson.
 That the provisional president is backed in his stand by the great ma- jority of Mexicans loyal to his admin istration, there can be no doubt Re- cent demonstrations here to express public approval of his declaration that he would submit to no meddling by an outside nation in his country's af- fairs settles this. It was intimated at the time that Huerta availed him. self of the opportunity to use the patriotism of his countrymen further to strengthen his regime and for no other purpose.
 Another point which is receiving grave consideration by thoughtful men in Mexico is the manner in which this latest defiance will be received in Washington. Reports of speeches in congress by anti-administration measures calling for determined stand in Mexico have reached here. That this party will be further strengthened by today's happenings is admitted generally. It is also feared that more specific members, deeming the mediation policy of President. Will son doomed to ultimate failure because of the arrogant stand of the Mexican executive will join those in favor of intervention in one form or another. According to an American citizen.

ltell Il for their bcncnt. Once a little

street urchins on tho sidewalk In

old man noticed the scrap he yelled;

"Nebbcr mind what dcy call you,

That nicklc under keys foot was
the basic cause Of the war between

gale about being called sheency and
Christ-kilier was only the expression
Of material interest.
The tocialists have always contend
ed that Il is the material interests
which determines peoples thoughts
and actions. There are some cxcep-
tions to this rule. for thcre are q few
people who are big enough TO think

regardless OF their personal loss or
gain. and those few are the shining
examples OF man hood.
I have suspicion that Il IL the
nicklc under his foot that makes Mr..
