Nearly 5000 Packages In sured in Year, and 42O
 Sent Out c. o. D.
$18.322 ON DEPOSIT
 TO CREDIT OF 177
Increase in Receipts of Local Post. office for Fiscal Year Just End ed More Than Double That of
 Preceding Year.

The annual reporl -1 Postmaster John D. Wilbourne, which was con- pleted yesterday, shows that the re- ceipts of the local postoffice have in creased $S,000 during the fiscal year. This is double the increase made last year.
 The receipts for the past quarter, which include the months of April, May and June, amounted to $12,S97.- 23a. This is a decided increase over the same period last year.
 During the fiscal year ending June 30, 4,S3S parcels post packages were insured, representing total valua- tion of S43 ,965.3S. On the total num- Ter of packages, s231.30 was collect ed in scent fees and $21.20 in 10- cent fees. Packages valued at less than S25 are insured for a fee of } cents and from $25 to $50 a fee of 10 cents is charged. No insurance can be had on parcels valued at more tran $50.
 During the past year APO c. o. D. packages have been Sent from the local office the valuation of these be- ing S977.S4. The fees received amounted to $16.46. The number of parcels received was 987, on which a total valuation of $6,364.49, and fees Of $604S collected.
 Postal Savings Deposits, $1S.322.
 Since the establishment >. of the pcstal savings bank IF accounts have been opened, which represent S1S,32212, now on deposit in the bank.
 That the postal banks are proving Lopular throughout the Unted States evidenced by the fact that on June 30, 1913, at the close of the first two and one-half years of business, 331,- COG persons had become depositors, with $33,S1S.S7O to their credit. This would make an average of $1O2 each.
 Postmaster Wilbourne is well pleased with the excellent showing made by the postal department ot the office, and says that the number oI depositors is increasing steadily. Nc person is peNaitted to deposit more than $100 in any one calendar month nor to have total balance to his credit of more than $500, exclu- sive of accumulated interest. Postal savings certificates are not transfer atle or negotiatable, and are paya- hle only to persons to whom issued, except under certain conditions. As the receipts of postoffice are accepted as an indication of the ! prosperity and progress of a com ] munity, the increase in business o1 1 the local office demonstrates that Pine Bluff is enjoying prosperity and growing at a more rapid rate than at any time in it's history.

All Institutions Liquidated by State Department Pay
 100 Cent on the Dollar.

Little Rock, July 1.-The state banking department will remain in charge of the affairs of the Bank of Pine Bluff, which closed it's doors Friday morni2, until such time as the banks conditions are adjusted. Off, fiCals of the state banking depart ment had been doing everything pos sible to assist the bank over the rough sailing which was apparent two months ago, it is sad, but were un- able to prevent the craosh. Assistant Bank Commssoner Covey spent two days at Pne Bluff this week trying to head off the failure and M. J. Reap, one of the inspectors of the department, was on the scene Friday. A statement of the condition of the bank has not yet been received by the state banking department and it is not yet known whether or not it will be necessary to name a receiv- CT.
 "So, far" said Bank Commissioner Davis, in discussing the work of the state banking department. "we have had to close only about six banks in Arkansas, and in nearly all these cases the department has succeeded in liquidating the affairs of the clos ed concerns as to pay out dollar for dollar of obligations.

COTTON BELT SHOPS
 RESUME TOMORROW
Between 500 and 600 Skilled Mechanics Return to Work
 in the Morning.

The Cotton Belt shops here will re- sume operations Monday morning at 7 o'clock, when between 300 and 600 men who were laid off on June 20 will return to work.
 Rumors that the men would be placed at work providing they ac- cepted 10 per cent decrease il wages appear to be without founda- tion as several of the railroad men in position to know of such proposi. tion said last night there was nothing in the rumor; that such a proposition would hardly be made and if made would not likely be countenanced by organized labor.
 The notice that the shops will re sume operations Monday, in accord with the announcement when they were closed, sets at rest rumors thai they would not reopen for severa weeks. t.--.
 The re-opening of the. shops means considerable to the skilled workmen whose time is worth several dollars day and who consider that every

 York Tenement.

 INTENDED FOR JNO. D.
Manufacturer of Bomb Was Prominent in l. W. w. and Anarchist Cir cIeS, and Tenement Was HOt-
 he'd of Gang of ''Rcds."

New York, July IA large quan- tity of dynamite being made .ato bomb exploded today and killed Ar thur Caron. a bomb manufacturer and three other persons in the dou- hle tenement at 1926 Lexington ave- hue.
 The south halves of the three up per floors of the structure were blown out and at least eight persons were injured under the falling walls
 Caron, an l. w. w. agitator, is be- lieved to have been making the bomh for use on the Rockefeller estate at Pocantco Hill. He had recently been prominent III free speech demonstra- lions and in anarchist and l. w. w. outbreaks A conference of anarch- ists in which John D. Rockefeller and John D., Jr.. were discussed, is said to have been attend by Caron on Friday night.
 The other persons killed by the explosion were Mrs. Mary Chavez keeper of the apartment where Caron boarded; an unidentified woman and a man who was identified as Car Berger Hanson, half-brother of Louis Berger, member of the I. w.. w. ard an avowed anarchist whose nome was the flat on the top floor of the wrecked building.
 Explosion Precipitates Panic.
 The explosion rocked the distric bounded by 101st and and. l04ti streets and Madison and Third ave rues. Hundreds of tenants in near ty buildings fled terror-stricken tt the streets and aided in the rescue of scores of persons who were trap Led in the wrecked building.

Power of United States Must Not Be Used to Cause
 Others Suffering.
SHOULD STAND FOR
 FREEDOM OF PEOPLE
Independence Was Declared Not Only for Americans, But for All Who Wish t0 Be Free-Suiiraeettps
 Try to Interfere.

Philadelphia, Pa, July 4-Standing in front of Independence hall his hand resting on the tahle on which the dec ]aration of independence was signed, President Wilson, in an address on Patriotism" vigorously defended the policies of his administration and ex- ccriated the critics of his Mexican policy and the opponents of the anti trust program, the Panama canal free tolls repeal bill and the currency law
 In each of these measures, the president declared he had no other motive than thoughtful regard f,s the best interests of the nation. Some of his critics, he declared, hat pat riotism smaller than the needs for the whole nation"
 The speech was received with en- thusiastic applause from an audience which packed the square in front of the historic building. Among those in attendance were several members Of congress, governors of the thirteen original states or their representatives and dlegates from nearly every pa triotic society in the country
 Suffs Try English Tactics.
 A serious disturbance, due to the action of suffragettes who resented the fancied snub to suffrage at the white house in organizing a meeting in Independence square in opposition to the national Fourth of July cele- bratisa. and at which the president was the principal orator, was ayerted by the police, who dispersed the crowd and the orators before the arrival of the president.
 "The meeting was held to show the president we are still alive and cap able of giving him tremendous opposi-. tion," said Miss Marie Mcdonald of New York, who was the first and only suffragette speaker.
 President Wilson left for Washing ton at noon after the delivery of his address.
 Testimony Contradictory.
 Touching on business conditions of the country, President Wilson said great many allegations of facts were being made, but that great many of these alleged facts do not tally with each other.
 Are these men trying to serve their country or. something smaller than their country?" the president asked.
 of they love America and there is anything wrong it is their business to put their hands to the task and set it right
 While the president was waiting to speak, Mrs. Smith, mother of one of the first soldiers killed at Vera Cruz greeted him. MT. Wilson told her she should be prou dof her son. and shook her hand warmly. "It must be great comfort to you to have been the moth CT of such a hero," he said.
 On returning to the railway station the president was tumultously cheer ed. During the trip a woman in the crowd threw bunch of roses which nearly hit the president in the face. It was caught by MT. Tumulty, his secs retary.

Crisis Near at Capital.

Washington, July 4.7-Alarming re- ports from Mexico City continue to reach the war and state departments today. Assistant Secretary of State Phillips received report from Con- sul Miller at Tampico, stating that conditions in Mexico City were verg- ing on crisis. No details were car- ried in the message
 From General Funston, the water department received report that twenty refugees from Mexico City arr rived at Vera Cruz this morning and that more were coming. These re- fugees could point to no specific ex- planation as a basis for their alarm. but left because of the general feeling feeling that the longimpending crash of the Huerta regime is near.
 Carranza's representatives here claimed to have confidential advices from Mexico City to the effect that Huerta plans to have his successor elected at the national election being held tomorrow in the Huerta terri- tory and that he will then relinquish the presidency either to head his troops in the field or to desert to Paris. According to this plan, either Pedro Lascurain or General Refugio Velasco will be elected to succeed Huerta.
 The constitutionalist junta here to- day declared that the election would have no bearing upon it's plans. If Lascurain is elected they look for him to surrender Mexico City to them as soon as Huerta is safely out of the country. If Huerta remains in office, they say, it will mean they will have to capture the Mexican capital by force of arms.
