 TO PLAN FOR TIT.
New Members Being Listed and Inter- est in MGtement is
 Growing.

At a meeting of the subcommittee Cf the Fine Bluff Public Library As sociatiCn held yesterday afternoon in the Chamber of Commerce auditor ium, it was decided to hold a mass meeting of the citizens of @Pne Bluff in the assembly hall, on the night of May 20, whicL is next Tuesday.
 At this time some action toward the establishment of temporary library will be taken and the movement will then be well under way, After this has been done, then the members of the Association will begin work for a permanent library building.
 Rabbi Joseph Jasin will go to Lit tie Rock today, and while there he will extend to Miss Dorothy D. Lyon, who is the public librarian of that city, an invitation to visit Pine Bluff and address the mass meeting Tuesday night, giving suggestions as to how the library should be conduct GU. MloS LyOu HdS Ildu III uCll cApGIl- ence in library work and her sugges- tions, if she accepts the invitation, will be of great help to the members of the local association.
 At the meeting yesterday it was re- ported that the next meeting of the executive committee will be a record breaking, one from membership standpoint, one member having al- ready secured thirty new members. All of tke members are working very hard and it is thought that by the next meeting, the membership of the Association will be more than doub- led.
 While not largely attended the meeting yesterday afternoon was very enthusiastic and much interest in the movement to establish a public li- brary in this city was manifested.
 Interest is being aroused in the project all over the city and it seems that all classes will combine in ef- forts to make this movement suc- cess.

WILL ARBITRATE
 STRIKE TROUBLE
CINCINNATI TRACTION COMPANY WILLING TO REACH AGREE.
 NEWT WITH EMPLOYEES.
Mayor Demands That the Strike Be Ended at Once and Action
 is Taken.

Cincinnati, May 12.-Officials of the Cincinnati Traction Company tonight agreed to arbitrate the wage diff culties with the striking street car men, but because the officials refused to grant a recognition of the unions first the men turned down the over- ture.
 The company's offer to arbitrate was made as result of Mayor Hunts demand that settlement of the strike be made at once. As a result the request that all employees in the service of the company at the time the strike was called Friday night, returned to work tomorrow, will not not be complied with.
 The strikers will meet tomorrow, at which time the matter will be consid- cred further. There is every indica- tion no cars will be started tomorrow
 Everything is quiet tonight, follow ing day that was marked with dis turbances in various parts of the city.
 On top of the traction strike today came the lockout et the Employers Association of thousands of building trades councilmen throwing approxi- mately six thousand men out of em- ployment and affecting 100 employers.

 Johnson Not Hasty.
 Sacramentoi Cal. May 14-Whilt, the conviction is strong at the caDi- tai that Governor Johnson will sign the alien land bill, the opinion pre- vails that he will avoid any utter ance of haste by swaiting until con- siderable number Of the thirty days allowed by law have elapsed.
 Secretary Bryan's telegram to Governor Johnson is taken to indi- cate that there has been no change in the situation at Washington since Bryan's visit here.

Council Names Mayor and Clerk to Ascertain Amount
 of the Shortage.
INVITE THE AUDITORS
Improvement Districts to Have One Russell is Questioned By
 Aldermen.

Notwithstanding the fact that many
 interested citizens, including com
 missioners of various improvement
 districts involved in the shortage
 credited to former City Collector A.
 G. Russell, under arrest on a charge
 of embedding $13,3O0, were present to
 hear what action was to be taken by
 the city council last night at it's spe-
 cial meeting, the aldermanic body,
 members of the Board of Public Af- fairs and several city officials held a session behind closed doors. The ses- sion lasted for nearly two hours, af-
 ter which the council reconvened in open session and motion to audit the books of the former collector pre- vailed.
 The investigation will begin this morning and will be pushed rapidly in order to get at the bottom of the shortage and to ascertain exactly how much money is due the various inn prOvement districts.
 The motion to carry on the investi- gation was made by Alderman Fred Fox, of the First ward, chairman of the finance committee, on whose mo- tion the council went into executive session soon after it convened at the call of Mayor Simon Bloom to hold an executive session.
 N The council voted to have Mayor Bloom and City Clerk w. A. Lee de- signated as an auditing committee. with a view to checking up the ac- ] counts of Russell. The commission CTS of the improvement districts to which Russell is indebted in various sums, were invited to select an audi l tor to go over the books with the city officials and it is most likely that w. H. Denver will be employed today to take part in the accounting. The American Surety Company, which is
 on $10,000 bond for Russell was
 also given the privilege of having an
 auditor present during the invest-
 gation and Russell himself, who was present at the council meeting and
 questioned by the aldermen in the
 executive session, was also given the privilege of being present.
 A. T. Lawrence, the representative
 of the American Surety Company,
 who was present at the executive ses-
 sion part of the time, stated that he
 would be satisfied to have Russell do
 his auditing with the committee. He
 has stated that when the claim of the
 city is shown to be correct the full
 amount of the bond would be paid,
 and he added that thAre is no disposi-
 tlon on the part of his company to
 escape it's liability.
 The motion carried with it a sug-
 gestion from Alderman Fox that the
 committee establish it's claim against
 the Surety Compasy and that that
 was the purpose of the investigation,
 as well as to balance the books and

WILSON WILL NOT INTERFERE FURTHER Gov. Johnson Expected to Sign Land Bill Within the
 Next 24 Hours. CONVENTIONS MADE Officials Say the Law Does Not Vi0. late Any Treaty and Await
 Actions.
CONVENTIONS MADE

Washington, Hay 12-The Internat- ional News Service ascertained today the following definite facts relating to the controversy between the United States and Japan over the Califarnia alien land law bill.
 First-The Japanese protest was not based on the claim that the pro posed legislation constitutes viola. ion of the existing treaty between two nations, but on the still loftier grounds that it amounts to an insult to the national honor of Japan.
 Second-President Wilson and Sec retary Bryan stoutly maintain that the contemplated law is entirely in- keeping with the treaty obligation of the United States and will not inter- fere again if Governor Johnson sees fit to allow the law to become effec- tive.
 Third-Legal experts of the State Department discover that the Brit ish government in Australia and Vie toria not only discriminate a@.ainst the Japanese but puts them in the same category with ''the Pacific Is- land blacks" which is far more dras- tic than any measure yet contemplat-. ed by the people of the Pacific Coast
 Fourth-Tf text of the protest made by Barn Chinda will be made public here and Tokio simultaneously as soon as the arrangement can be completed.
 President Wilson and the officials of the war and navy departments are awaiting with concern the next step to be taken by Japan if the Cali lorna bill is allowed to become eff fective. No reply has been received from the Presidents telegram asking Gov. Johnson to veto the measure. On account of the stipulated unwillingness of the administration to do more than announce the attitude of the federal authorities, it is confidently expect ed by all concerned that the bill will be signed and become effective before the close of another day.
 To those who talked with the Presi- dent today, he supported the conten- tion of the State department that the proposed law does not constitute a violation of the treaty. He even went further and said the legislation was founded on the treaty obligations.
 The Presidents argument is that the California legislature. proposes ex- plicitly to grant to present residents who are not eligible to citizenship, the rights which are granted to them by treaty.
 The information that the Japanese are thinking more about their nat ional honor in the protest than the treaty obligation, also came from the White House. It was explained that the resentment expressed through Ambassador Chinda by the Japanese was seeming effort to discriminate against them on the ground of an al- legged ineligibility to citizenship.
 In commenting upon this phase of the controversy, state department of- ficials pointed out that the attitude of Japan towards this country was at least unusual since the laws of Victoria and Australia are far more
