Gibbons is a draftsman on the staff of the United States reclamation service here. and he occasionally indulges his talent for outside gain. He made the project maps since he has been in the local service. The new school map shows all the districts schools, high schools and school properties in addi- tion to the physical and artificial feat ures. All roads and canals are repre- sented on the map, which measures three feet by six.

ADJUSTMENTS
Empress.

The Bowker Musical Comedy com pany scored another tremendous sue cess last night with their presentation of '"The Grafters'. This piece is a most Imaginable farce. As matter of fact it gives each member of the cast an op- portunity to show ability and each seems to take advantage of it. Jimmy Gibson has easily proven himself a comedian of much merit and from the time he makes his appearance until his exit he keeps his audience in an uproar. Lefty Lawson has shown his versatility to the entire satisfaction of the patrons

CITY SCRIPT IN DEMAND

Notwithstanding the impression that exists that city script is hard to dispose of, it might be encouraging and interesting to local people to know that many private investors have been buying city script in recent weeks and that they are anx- ious for more of it. These private investors are mostly residents of this city, but in recent weeks sereval thousand dollars worth of Pine Bluff script has been purchased by indi- viduals in St. Louis, Chicago and Michigan points, as they deem it a good investment. The script is dis counted at s per cent, the same as has been the custom since Mayor Simon Bloom took office, in dispos- ing of it to local banking institutions
 Some weeks ago, when it appeared that there might be some difficulty experienced in disposing of city script, Mayor 13oom called a meet ing of local bankers and the finance committee of the city council to dis cuss the matter At that time the banks agreed to take enough of the script monthly to keep it on a reas- enable selling basis and as result they have been taking what script was not sold to private parties. In the past two or three months, how ever, the demand among private in- vestors for city script has been so general that it was not necessary to ask the local banks to take the scrip
 If out-of-town Investors have confi- deIce in Pine Bluffs future certain ly home people should have The banks are ready and willing to take what script is on the market at s per cent discount, but there is no insistence of their doing so of late owing to requests for scrip from in dividuals.
 This is most encouraging to the city officials and the employees of the city. If the scrip is not disposed of at a fair figure the city employees suffer, not the city. Mayor Blooms has been such com plete success, both from a1 improve ment as we'll as a financial stand point, that confidence in it's fnan- ces have been completely restored.

DOUBLE TRACKING BEGINS
 ON THE COTTON BELT

PiggOtt, Sept. 1.-The work of dou- ble tracking the St. Louis Southwest ern' Railway Cotton Belt) began here this morning. This work has been contemplated for some time. The railroad has been double tracked from Dexter, Mo-, to a point in Illi- nois somewhere near Chester. The company has started building up it's dump and making preparations for the laying of the new track. The com pany has on the ground a large crew of negroes, sand train consisting of number of cars, made especially for the work, and a sand blow, used in leveling the sand down even with the main track.
 The double tracking of the Cotton Belt through here is only another mark of the spirit of progressiveness that is at present pervading this sec- tion. The double track will fill a long needed want through this sec tion, as heretofore the trains have been quite frequently behind time, be- cause of the fact that great deal of time had to be spent in waiting for other trains. It is predicted that at an early date the double tracking will be placed along the entire Cotton Belt T AJ. up to date railroads ill the south.

Worst Traffic Congestion Follows Inundation of
 Underground Railways
WORST IN TEN YEARS
Broadway Hotels Leak, Hotel Eleya. tors Put Out of Com.
 mission.

New York, Sept 5-Not a wheel moved in the New York subway be- tween Ninety-sixth street in upper Manhattan and the Brooklyn terminal during the rush nour of the work bound crowds this morning. The re- suit was one of the worst traffic con gestions this city has ever known. Over three inches of rainfall during the night flooded the subway tracks to the depth of three feet or more and nine miles of four-track subway were put entirely out of commission.
 It was g o'clock before the line was cleared and then the congestion pre- vented anything like normal condi- tions.
 Employed Electric Pumps.
 The Interborough Company loaded flat cars with electric pumps capable of discharging 75O gallons minute and sucked the rain> water out of the tube as fast as it's men could work.
 The blockade at the Brooklyn term mus of the subway was the worst on the system. One hundred thous- and persons use this station between 2 and 8 o'clock in the morning. One man, hemmed in by the crowd, told those around him that he was recent ly released from Sing Sing prison. that this was his first day on an hon est job and that he probably would lose both the job and his chances of reformation if he failed to report on time for work this morning.
 Stormed the Elevated Trains.
 At several central stations the baf fled subway users stormed the ele- vated trains ill such numbers that po- lice reserves were called out to make them keep in line and take their turns
 Fifty fire chiefs here attending their convention were in an express train stalled at the Columbus circle station of the subway early to- day. They all turned in and helped the subway guards escort passengers on this train and others stalked behind it, over the third rail and up to the station platform.
 A midnight downpour of 3.3l inches of water caused extraordinary dam age in New York City. The deluge was the worst in ten years. Accord ing to the weather bureau, and in it's three hours duration, it gained the of a cloudburst. Streams were turned into rivers, some of them two to four feet deep, and the water poured into thousands of cellars, driv- ing basement dwellers from their homes.
 The roofs of two large Broadway hotels sprang leaks and torrents of water which had been held back by the checked leaders went down through bedrooms and halls.
 Elevators were put out of commits sion in severa! hotels and guests had to climb many flights of stairs. At two large bay houses guests were obliged to 70 to bed by candle lights.
 Subway tracks ih places were un- der three feet of water and night traffic was almost at standstill Lights were put out ill some of tue trains and late home-goers suffered fright when stalled in the darkness Surface cars were put out of commits sion all over the city for time by the torrents of water which poured into the underground trolley conduit causing short circuit.

INE BLUFF D ROGRESS
 PROSPERITY
REPORTS ON EXECUTIONS.

AsAh VAD40 V4N LAAGS lIVNSs
 Batesville Guard: Under the new law which goes into effect next week, substituting elctrocution for the gal lows, no newspaper in Arkansas can publish the details of an execution in this state.
 Most newspapers of the state will be glad they will not have to give all the horrible details of an execution, and will be glad when the law goes into effect, if it does.
 No penalty, however, is provided and it may be that some newspapers will not regard the law, and that the details of executions will continue to be published
 There is another thing to be consid- cred, too, and that is that St. Louis pelled to observe the law, and they might publish all kinds of details of an execution in Arkansas. The state law would not reach them. and pen alty or no penalty, they would not be subject to it.
 This would not be fair to Arkansas newspapers.
 Most of the newspaper publishers would be glad if there were never any such things to publish, and nearly all Of them will welcome an escape from having to attend these executions, and watch while the wretch eXpiates crime or falls victim to official error.
 No newspaper man who ever wit messed an execution was glad when the opportunity came to attend an other one, and on the staff of large newspapers the man detailed to han dle hanging is not envied by the bal ance of the staff.
 But the public will have such news and if Memphis and St. Louis papers arc permitted to get the details of Ar kansas executions and print them, it would be an unfair advantage over the Arkansas papers.
 And there is another feature about newspaper reports of such things. Sometimes when man is to be exc Cuted he makes confession just at the last moment, and it is seldom the case that d man is executed who does not It would not be right to deny him such privilege as that, and yet if the details are not to be published, it seems that any statement he might make would be barred from publication.
 Under the existing conditions, it is very likely that the law forbiddin2 newspapers to publish the details will 1. be ignored, and that the newspapers will go right ahead printing the news as it happens regardless of any law to the contrary Fort Smith Times Record.
 The gruesome details attending the execution of man are unpleasant to read, but it is doubtful if anything has a better effect on the public in the way of lessening crime. The thought of seeing or reading of another being sent to his death legally for crime is enough to make men, and women, as we'll, refrain from law violations. The law that was intended to prevent the publication of details of electrocu- tions in the state penitentiary is an other of the foolish state laws that have been put on the statute books in recent years. The injustice of the provisions of the act, when applied to out -cf-state papers, is readily seen, There is no penalty attached to the provision that would prevent news papers from publishing the details ln the death room at the state prison and it is expected that the Little Rock
