WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Oral un-
derstanding to maintain rates between
the Lamport g. Holt line, the Houston
line, the Prince line and Weir &
Boyds line, carrying commerce between
New York and tho La Plata, and Mon.
tevideo, has existed since January,

marine committee, His line, he further
testified, had another uuderstaudiu, :,
with liens doing business between New
York and South Africa. In tho La
Plata trade he declared there were no
rebates and no division OF territory.
''Thc time was when we New York
agents Of the lines were permitted to

Speaking of the South African trade,
the witness said he believed there was
no pooling, but he had no doubt that
the London officers saw to it that each
line got It's proportion of the trade by
regulating the trips Of the prospective
steamers.
Mr.. Gerhart testified that with the
four OF FIVE largest New York exporters
to the Plata special contracts were
made by the lines and smaller export
ers then given the same rates. Repre-
sentative Alexander suggested this pre-
vented competition in rates.

LOST ON WEST MOUNTAIN,

Hot Springs, Sept. 4.-Misses Early Jones and Iillie Harvey, two young ladies living in the southern part of the city. went out for walk before breakfast on West Mountain Tuesday morning, and when they started home they found that they were lost. All day they wandered on the mountain. and finally found themselves more dead than alive five miles from town at the poor farm. Here they were fed and later driven into town. The families of the young women were al- most frantic, and searching parties spent hours looking for the girls, An incident of the experience of the young ladies was the discovery of the pumpkin patch of the poor farm, which, they thought to be mhskIhel- ons. They were very hungry, and made a brave effort to eat one of them. Both young ladies were rear ed in this city. and had been on the mountains many times before.

NEWS OF THE BIG FIRE

The value of a morning paper and especially the splendid news service of the. Graphic was clearly proven yesterday morning, when it carried the full details of the big Hot Springs fl ;e into the homes of the residents of Southeast Arkansas. Not only did this paper give the full details of the big con- flagration, but it furnished Pine Bluff fans and those in nearby towns with bulletins as fast as they were re- ceived the night before. The fire broke out at 2:30 D. m. Friday and ragged fiercely all afternoon. Not withstanding this fact, the afternoon papers had not a line concerning It and they all went to press ignorant of the fact that nearly half of the fam ous resort had been swept by flames. The big city morning dailics had no more details of the fire than the Graphic. and several of them did not cover" the story as fully as this paper.

WARNOCk TO OPPOSE GOODWIN

Little Rock. Sept. 3.-R. s. Warnock the banker-statesman of Magnolia, has announced for Congress from the Seventh District to succeed Hon. w. $. Goodwin. He represented Colum- bia county in the Legislature of 1909 and 1911.
 In 1912 he initiated state bank ing law which failed of submission to the people on account of a technical fault in the petition. But he is not discouraged. and he announces that it is his purpose to carry this measure before the people next campaign. He has already prepared guaranty amendment to the present banking bill. which he proposes to initiate. A banking bill carrying the guaranty feature was considered by the Legis- lature of 1913, but defeated by the law subsequently, enacted in which,the guaranty clause was eliminated. He is the author of the preseilt state de pository law.

PINE BLUFF READY TO AID

Hot Springs-America's most noted and most popular health resort-sis partially in ashes. More than fifty blocks of that city were swept by the fire demon Friday and hundreds of people are homeless. The fire will probably total loss of ten million dollars. The citizens of that city announced while the fire was still raging that they would probably not need financial. help from non-resi- dents. They hoped to overcome the ef- tects of the awful catasthrophe with put burdening its neighbors and friends.
 The American people are naturally sympathetic. They respond literally to the needy and distressed and thousands of dollars would pour into Hot Springs immediately if plea for help was made. Pine Bluff stands ready to do it's frll share to relieve suffering in the Valley of Vapors.
 Governor George w. Hays hurried to the Springs immediately after learning of the Conflagration ana un- nounced that, if necessary, he would send the State Guard there to aid the citizens in preserving order and to prevent loolilg Mayor Simon Bloom, of this city, was one of the first to offer aid. lie prepared to send Pine Bluffs fire fighting apparatus and experienced firemen to Hot Springs at d moments notice Friday evening, but they were not needed.
 Coming within a few years after a similar catasthrophe at Hot Springs, tue fire is the more felt. Many resi- dents in the burned district were just recovering from the effects of the 1906 fire and their losses will natural ly work hardship on them.

 Later-Since the above was written a call for financial assistance has been made by Mayor McClendon, of Hot Springs, and Pine Bluffians are already responding. Several hun dred dollars was sent to the stricken city yesterday and more will be sent the coming week.

-O30----- THE SENATORSHlP.

Former Governor ueorge w. Dona- ghcy has annouonCoed that he would not be in the race to succeed United States Senator James P. Clarke. He gives many reasons for his retirement to private life, making the statement that his personal affairs were such as to bring him to decision to quit poli- tics.
 Governor Donaghey took the wise course. He could not have been elect ed to the senate. 1t was different when he was in the governors office. He had political influence and controi of certain factions in this state, but 10 make the race after the voters or the. state had disapproved of his re- maining in the governors office would have been useless.
 Senator Clarke is an avowed candi- date to succeed himself. Judge w. F. Kirby, of the Supreme Court. has al ready stated that his formal an- nouncement would be made within the next few days. It has been rumored that Smead Powell, an exceptionally well qualified man. would also be| in inc running, but nothing definite to inc effect has been received here.

WE SHOULD WORRY

We are not yet satisfied with ex- plantations as to what Pine Bluff in- tends to do with the important by product from it's packing house now being erected, namely, the squeal. We suggest that it be preserved in a photograph record, copy of which to be placed in every can or other container as proof of purity of the alleged hog meat within. Armour died unhappy because he could not discover any way to utilize the squeal and we are giving this valuable hint free and uncopyrighted.-F Smith Times-Recod.
 We have some clever people in Pine Bluff and the stockholders in the new packing plant are not ill the least worried about what dispo- sition will be made of the squeal Pine Bluff is in the heart of the finest agricultural country in the world. It is certainty that the squeal can be stuck in the ground at an point in Jefferson county and within a few weeks, barring drouth and unreasonable weather, pigs will grow in abundance. 1t is the inten- tion of the superintendent of the packing plant to use the saueal for the present in auto horns, as it seems impossible at times to make pedes- trains obesrve the approach of the many machines that the continually rolling over our streets. It became necessary to add several traffic cops to the Police Department in the past few days and Mayor Bloom hopes tho squeal will prove a money saver for the city. After the squeal is con- trolled by chauffeur's successfully he believes the services of the traffic cops can be dispensed with.

The purpose is to work out a general building scheme that will be good for the next hundred years. He will locate the Presidents house, as we'll as other buildings. The plans for the presidents house are ready, and work will be begun as soon as the site is determined Many oth- CT colleges of the South are planning the campus for the future, rather than following the plan that was pursued by Harvard of working without plan and producing hotch-potch.
