MERGE Work Will Begin
Soon on Rock Island
Connection.

That construction work on the
Pine Bluff North & South railroad
designed to connect Pine Bluff with
the Rock Island and McCreamer will
begin in the near future was the as
surance given yesterday to Secretary
E. B. Bloom of the Chamber Of Com
merce by Dr.. H. N. Street of Little
Rock, personal representative of W.
J., Miller, president of the railway
company.
The Chamber of Commerce con-
tracted to give the road a bonus OF
$4,000 and other inducements, but
the delay in beginning building oper-
ations provoked the trade organiza-
ton to declare that unless work was
started the contract would be abro-
gated, the time limit asked by the
railroad having expired. Mr.. Streets
visit followed. He assured Mr.. Bloom
that as soon as the money market
loosens construction will begin, and
that it is now planned to build the
road through Star City and to Monti.

Concord, n. H., April Hilary
Kendall Thaw's petition for writ OF

on by the supreme court.
The result of the decision is that
Thaw's guardianship and condition
will be unchanged for the present; but
that his petition for writ of habes
corpus will go to the highest court in
the land, with decision of the low

BECKER Original
STRONG ARM MAN
Squads, Misused by Him,
Resume Work and Clear
Streets of Thugs.

New York, April 14-Charlie
Becker was the original strong arm
man. He gave the strong arm squad
a bad name. For which reason l. was
a brave thing which Police Commits
sioner Mckay did in re-establishing
the raiding bands of policemen and
sending them out again to clear the
streets.
In many parts of town it had be-
come so that no decent girl could
walk along the sidewalk without
hearing the low-voiced insult of the
corner masher.
And a self respecting young fellow
strange to the section would find a
mussy faced youth splitting upon him.
If the stranger sizing up his oppon-
ent as a physical coward, waded IN
with his fists, he was set upon by a
dozen roughs, apparently coming to
the aid of the splitter but really hav-
ing for the purpose the looting OF
the strangers pockets during the
scuffle.
Today the loafers, the pickpockets,
the knights of the street looking for
whatever may turn up are sinking
into holes and burrows.
The commissioners men have
driven them to cover. The jackals and
hyenas of the public places will keep
out of sight for some time. But not
forever. They must live, and they will
not think of turning to legitimate
business. Desperate from lack OF
cash, they will invade the haunts OF
the decent again. Then will come the
real struggle of the strong arm
squad" 1t is easy enough to clean
the streets. The tip goes out that
"the police are getting busy" This
has a magical effect. But to keep
them clean. That is another ques-
ton. Why? Because every one OF
these rryers upon mankind and
womankind has a vote. Perhaps two
votes. or three votes.

SALUTE OR FIG H T

Washing Ton, April 14.-Events
charged with the menace OF war
surged fast on the heels of the adj
ministration order today to Admiral
Charles Badger to sail with the whole
available Atlantic fleet to Tampico.
Secretary Daniels sent his chief OF
staff, Admiral Fiske, to Hampton
Roads with orders directing Badger
to give Mexico twenty-four hours to
salute the United States flag. If
Huerta refuses to obey this summons,
the seizure of Tampico will nllow.
At the state department it was an
nounced that arms had been issued to
Americans in Mexico City.
At the navy department 1t was
stated that as the demazd was prac-
tically on a footing Of war, the rules
of war would be observed, and no In
formation would be given to the press
except by direction of the admins
| tration.
The concensus of opinion in the cap
| ital today is that war now depends up
| on Huerta II he stands firm and
demands salute and recognition in re-
| turn for each salute and recognition
that he gives the United States then,
say the leaders, war will follow. The
same leaders now believe that Huerta
will stand firm.
President Wilson's order to Secre-
tary Daniels to loose the Atlantic
fleet under the command of Badger,
came at the close of a tense and ex-
citing cabinet meeting today.
The object Of this is to enforce the
demands OH the Mexican government
by Admiral Mayo for apology for the
arrest of his marines and the insult
to the American flag last Thursday
at Tampico.
The United States, it was announc-
ed today, will notify all foreign ma
tons Of it's act in making this DEM
onstration against Huerta at Tamp1-
CO. %
The dispatch Of the Hancock from
New Orleans this morning with near
/ ly 1000 marines, means that Admiral
Badger may be obliged to use force
at Tampico, and will have an army o.
10000 sailors and marines to send
ashore and to hold whatever he takes
Neither the white house nor thu

Clarke answers
KIRBY CHARGES
Denies Fraud in Poinsett
Returns-He Will Ques-
Other Returns.
cANVASSING VOTE
subcommittee Named to Tabulate
Returns Do Not Complete Work
Battle will Be Resumed
This Morning.

Little Pock, April 1.-THE first
skirmish before the state Democratic
central committee between Senator
James P. Clarke and Judge W. F,
Kirby for the senatorial nomination
was won by Clarke, every move of
the Kirby adherents being circum-
vented.
What is considered the most tell
ing point gained was the defeat of a
motion by J. D. Head Of TeXarkana
that the charges of fraud in Poinsett
county, preferred by Judge Kirby, be
heard before the report Of the COM
mittee named to canvass the returns.
The tabulating committee began
work this morning, but had not COM
pleted it's task this evening, the COM
mittee adjourning until tomorrow
morning a. $3.50 o'clock.
The committee was called to order
this morning by A. J. Walls, chair
man, and there has been skirmishing
all day. After Judge Kirby presented
his charges, attorneys for Senator
Clarke announced the senator had not
received a copy until this morning
and gained time to make reply. This
reply was presented this afternoon.
Senator CArke's Answer
In his answer Senator Clarke says
he. received majority OF, all the votes
cast and is the nominee of the Dem
ocratic party of United States cena-
tor; that 1t is not true that the coun-
ty convention and central committees
declared the vote to be 1886 for
Clarke and 615 for Kirby; that the
vote of Poinsett county as shown by
the election records of the county and
the certificate filed with the state
central committee is 1921 for Clarke
and $50 for Kirby denying that Co
ing or any other person fraudulently
or otherwise altered or changed the
vote.
The CoHtestee earnestly urges thai
this honorable committee may make
a prompt and thorough investigation
of the charge that the vote was frau
dulently altered" and pledges his CO.
operation to that end.
The contestees also ask ruling
by the committee as 10 whether the
charge that votes were cast in ex-
cess of the poll taxes issued will be
treated by the committee "as irregu-
larities in contradiction to actual
fraudulent action and are therefore
not to be deemed as objections avail
able to the contestant as a basis for
the rejection of the returns from
Poinsett county at this stage of the
proceeding" intimating that if such
should be the case that the contestee
would go into the same matters with
respect to other counties where the
returns gave large majorities to
Judge Kirby.
Contestants Address Committee
After the filing of the contest and
answer both Senator Clarke and
Judge Kirby, Unexpectedly to the
audience, addressed the committee. A.
times during the speeches OF both
each addressed the other in court
eous manner and no display OF ILL
temper or bitterness was visible al
though a few short weeks ago it was
feared that their personal coIttact
would precipitate serious trouble
In their speeches each covered
practically the same grounds as COW
