dies LAST night
Former Pine Bluff Minister
Expires at, Hot Springs
Was Farming Pioneer.

Rev. M. w. Manville, for three years
pastor of the Carr Memorial Methodist
church in this city and one of the best
known and most highly esteemed men
in Arkansas, died at mis- home IN Hot
Springs last night at 8 o'clock at the
age of "a years. News OF Mr.. Man
villes death reached Pine Bluff
shortly after the sad occurrence in a
telegram to the Rev. J. A. Sage, pre-
siding elder of this Methodist district.
Mr.. Manville is survived by his widow
and one son, Gibson Manville, youth
of Is years.
The funeral will take place at Hot
Springs Thursday afternoon at 3

Street Methodist church by Rev.
Alonzo Monk, presiding elder OF the
Hot Springs district, and Rev. Sage.
A number of Mr.. 'Manville's friends
from this city will attend the obse-
quies.
Mr.. Manville was Canadian by
birth. but came to Arkansas about
thirty-five years ago, locating near
Little Rock and pursuing the occupa-
ton of farmer. while editing the
AGRICULTURAL department of the Little
Rock Gazette. He was pioneer IN
the movement for better farming IN
Arkansas, drafting the bill creating
the department of mines, manufac-
lures and agriculture. He was tend
cred the commissionership, but having
entered the ministry declined the OF
flee. He served the Methodist church
as a preacher for twenty-five years
his first work as a minister being at
Benton. Hot Springs, DeQueen, Du-
Wallis Bluff and Pine Bluff were other
fields in which he labored for the
benefit of mankind. He left Plne
Bluff three years ago, going to Sherl-
dan. He was retired about two years
ago. since which time he has made his
home at Hot Springs.
"He was a most able man, SAID LIT.
Sage, in speaking of Mr.. 'Manvllle last
night. ellis work in and out OF the
church had been productive OF great
results, and he was highly regarded
by all who knew him sufficiently

DR.. JORDAN Will
HEAD THE N. E. A.
North Carolina Educator
Withdraws to Avert Fac
tional Fight.

St. Paul, Mimi, July 7.-Dr. David
Starr Jordan will be the next presi-
dent of the National Educational as
ISOLATION and will be elected Thurs
day without opposition. This was
made certain tonight when DR.. David
D. Johnson, at conference with
twenty-five Of his supporters, read a
statement in which he announced his
withdrawal from the race and paid a
tribute to DR.. Jordan for whom he
asked the unanimous support OF his
friends. The action was not expected.
Throughout the day conferences were
held from time to time between John
sons supporters and Jordan ennis
saries. The latter urged upon the
Southerners the argument that by
withdrawing, DR.. Johnson would make
himself bigger than he could be made
by election to the presidency OF the
organization.
Finally meeting was called in the
Johnson headquarters and his follow
ers met this evening with F. Y. JOY
ner of North Carolina, secretary OF
the executive board of the N. E. A., as
chairman. The campaign was discuss
ed from every angle and 1t was ad-
mitted that with sentiment for Jordan
SO strong among the delegates. con-
tinued fight for the presidency, even
though it might result in Johnson's
election, would cause damaging fac
tional feeling and leave many sore
spots.

monster demonstration in connection
with the funeral of their three COM
rades who were killed by a bomb ex-
plosion in a Lexington avenue tene-
ment here last Saturday, the leaders

bodies of the victims featuring the
proposed parade next Saturday by in-
sisting that they be buried tomorrow
Instead of being inferred. however
the bodies will be cremated and three
urns containing their ashes Will DC
borne by the marchers. The authori-
ties have as yet thought of no way to
prevent this program being carried
out and are fearful that serious dis
orders may mark the memorial serv'
ices.

This Is Statement of Off
GERS of Pine Bluff Natural
Gas Company.
WILL FIGHT MOVE
TO REDUCE RATES
Assert That Reduction of Rates and
Prescription of Minimum Pres.
sure Would BE Unjust and They
Would Appeal ta Courts.

Declaring that the Pine Bluff Natur
al Gas company has been losing
proposition, A. B. Daley, general
manager, and w. B. Smith, secretary
of the concern, told the members of
the city council at special meeting
yesterday morning that the company
is giving Pine Bluff the largest sup
ply possible, and that a larger sup
ply than the wells afford could not be
given.
The statements were made during
discussion of the proposed ordinance
which would provide that the gas
company shall maintain at all times
minimum pressure of ounces per
cubic foot. The ordinance was pre-
scented some time ago, has been read
twice and is now on its final passage.
The measure has been called up sew
.eral times for it's third reading, but
action each time was postponed at the
request of Manager Baer of the gas
company and other officials of tnat Or
ganization in order to permit Messrs.
Daley and Smith to present the COM
pany's side of the controversy to the
council.
Company Ready to Fight.
These officials say that the passage
of the proposed ordinance would be
unjust to the company, as it cannot
regulate the gas pressure. They also
declared that the supply from the
wells did not enable them to supply
gas in that quantity. The ordinance
also proposes to reduce the price from
40 to 30 cents for 1000 feet for do
nestle consumers and 30 to % cents
for industries. Mr.. Daley said that
while the company was not paying
proposition now, if the ordinance was
passed it would have to oppose the
provisions in the courts in self protec-
ton.
After all the officials had presented
their arguments and been Intercepted
by members of the council, Alderman
Franey made a motion to table the
ordinance This was strenuously OBJ
jected to by Alderman Sorrells, who
said that no action was to have been
taken at the special meeting. Mayor
Bloom upheld Alderman Sorrells. and
Mr.. Franey's motion was lost.
Alderman SOrrells said that he did
not want to be too hasty with the mat
ter, and that he was not fully satisfied
with the arguments Of the officials.
While the aldermen admitted that a
4-ounce pressure would be enough to
supply the city, he said that he was
not satisfied with the explanation Of
fered by General Manager Daley in
regard to the sudden increase in gas
bills during January and February OF
the present year, and urged a more
thorough investigation. The gas men
read comparative statements of the
consumers in Pine Bluff, Little Rock
and Hot Springs, showing the aver
age gas bills in controversy, this indi-
eating that Pine Bluff. in most in
stances, had the lowest bills.
Cannot Increase Pressure.
Mr.. Smith, who opened the discus
sion with the councilmen, said that
there was no possible way to increase
the gas pressure. He said that II
comes from the earth and the COM
pany can only utilize it as it comes,
A reduction in the gas price Would

Com m ander of Huer t a
Forces at Vera Cruz Warns
American Consul.
UNCLE SAM MAY YET
USE THE big STICK"
Administration Sends Word to Car
ranza That Though Wilson Desires
Peace, Force May Be ResOrted to
TO Settle Mexican Problem.

Washington, July 1.-General run
ston cabed the war department late
Yesterday that the commander of the
Huerta forces fronting Vera Cruz mad
reported that cart of his troops had
mutinied and that they might attack
the American troops at night. Ord-
ers were issued to the American
forces not TO consider the movement
and to act only on the defensive. The
expected night attack did not materl-
alize last night. but there is still ap-
preheasion that desultory attacks
may be made on Funs;on's troops.
The war department treats the situa-
ton lightly, the officials declaring
that Funston is amply able to handle
any developments.
Today General Funston reported
that shortly after midnight repre-
sentative of the revolutionary ju2ta
at Vera Cruz asked for passes for
himself and others to go out and
direct the federal mutineers. The per-
nit was refused.
A later message from Funston re-
ported that fighting was in progress
between the mutineers and loyal fed
eral troops. He estimated the num-
Der of federals engaged in the fight
ing at 1900. AS General Funston has
5000 troops on shore and. also ma
rines and bluejackets within call, the
hostile movement on his front simp-
ly resulted in the strengthening of
the, sentries in readiness for what
might happen.
Straight Talk to CarranZa.
1t was learned today that the white
house, through the constitutional
agency here has intimated to. General
Carranza during the past week that
even though President Wilson desires
peace at any price the "big stick
may be used as last resort to settle
the Mexican question.
The message, it is said, is the most
belligerent word sent by the admin
istration to Mexico. President Will
son has come to the conclusion that
Carranza has never really Intended
at any time settling the internal af-
fairs of Mexico by diplomacy and has
merely used the mediation Regotia-
tions for his own selfish purposes.
The mediators. through DR.. Naon,
are reported to have suggested to the
administration that it convey this
word to General Carranza in order
toilet him know that it was essential
for him to send representatives I'M
mediately if he desired his good faith
to remain unquestiOned.

Oil Companies RetaIiate.

Tampico, Mex, July 6.--More oil
tank steamers were reported idle
here today than in many months,
partly due. to low prices of oil. which
make expectation barely profitable,
and partly as a protest, it was said,
against action of constitutionalists
who have continued to exact the tax
intended to apply to dredging, but
have neglected dredging until the
Panuco river mouth has so filled up
as to render difficult the passage Of
deep-laden steamers.
Construction work in the Panuco
oil fields was reported at a, standstill
The companies were said to be pre-
pairing to recall their employees and
suspend all work not necessary : in
caring for the storage of the present
output. Lack Of confidence in the
situation was given as the cause.

REQUESTS PRESIDENT

Senator POmerene Says Senate En-.
titled to Know Something Of Men
Named for BOard-AnOther New

Washington, July Paul M. War
burg, nominated to be a member of
the federal reserve board, eliminated
SO informed the senate committee on
banking and currncy in a telegram re-
ceived today by Acting Chairman
Hitchcock and has also by telegraph
and telephone asked the president to
withdraw his name. He objects to
being cross-questioned by the commit
tee and placed in the position of fight
ing for appointment.
Mr.. Warburg declines to appear be-
fore the committee and be questioned,
and bases his objection chiefly upon
the fact that the favorable report on
three of the members of the board
and the holding up of his name and
that of Thomas D. Jones places him
in a position of embarrassment he
does not care to assume.
Mr.. Warburg was in communication
with the white house today twice
over the telephone. He talked with
the president and later with Private
Secretary Tumulty. The president
strongly urged Mr.. Warburg to recall
his request that his name be with
drawn and serve upon the board, but
up to late hour Mr.. Warburg had
not change his determination.
Senate Defends Action.
Members of the banking committee
today defended their action in asking
Mr.. Warburg to appear Said Senator
Pomerene:
"The committee which had the
nomination charge and the senate
was entitled to know something of
Mr.. Warburg and his qualifications
for the office to which he was ap-
pointed. l was favorable to him and
would have voted to report his nomi-
nation. l can see nothing out of the
way in asking him to appear before
the committee. He would have been
treated with great respect, and I am
sure the committee you would have
been glad to meet him. and learn his
views on the administration Of the at
fairs of the board"
Will Name New Yorker.
The telegram to Senator Hitchcock
is looked upon by members OF the
committee as retiring Mr.. Warburg
A new nomination is expected as soon
as the president determines who the
man shall be, as there is a general
desire that the personnel Of the board
shall be completed at the earliest pos
sible day. At the white house today
1t was said, if possible, a New Yorker
would be selected to replace Mr.. War.
