E. B. BLOOM IS
c. OF c. SECRETARY
Well Known Insurance Man
Is Named for Big
Post.
IS HIGHLY CAPABLE
Few Men Have Wider Personal Touch
With Men of Affairs or Greater
Capacity for Organization.


e. B. Bloom. we'll known Pine Bluff
insurance man, was yesterday by the
trustees of the Chamber of Commerce
elected to the post of secretary. MIR.
Bloom succeeds H. G. Spaulding, who
resigned to accept the secretaryship
of the South Bend, Indiana. organiza-
ton.
There We're present nineteen of the
Board of Trustees and after the meet
ing had been in progress for a short
time Mr.. Bloom was unanimously
chosen for the post. His name was
by Sheriff Edgar Brewster
Nh. Bloom was escorted to the
meeting of the Trustees by Sheriff
Brewster, and in a neat speech, he
expressed his appreciation of the hon
or accorded him. He reiterated as
he has formerly done on many occa-
sions, that he is ready at all times
to do his best for the interests of Pine
Bluff and the upbuilding of the city.
Is Highly Fitted.
The selection of Mr. Bloom for this
post is a part of wisdom on the part
of the Trustees of the Chamber of
Commerce. He has an especial apti-
tude for organization, he has a per
sonal acquaintance or friendship
| with men of affairs and prominence
throughout the country, and these two
important requisites make him high
ly adapted for the duties he will as
sumo April 1.
Mr.. Bloom was born and reared in
| this city and has always been greatly
| interested, since he came to mans es-
tate, in the upbuilding of the city and
of the interests Of this section of the
country. For many years he was
identified with the political interests
| of this community and served two
terms as county and probate clerk.
| 1t is due him as great credit, and
one that is generally conceded, that
the free bridge would never have
been started mad it not been for his
efforts. That work alone, his friends
declare, would have made him last
ing benefactor to this city and coun-
ty.
In business activities he has been
exceptionally successful in bringing
into the mercantile field those same
aggressive and practical qualities
which won him success in other lines.
"Buck" Bloom is name that is
| we'll known, not only in this city and
| throughout Arkansas, but elsewhere
| and those who elected him to the post
of secretaryship did so with feeling
that he was the logical man and the
one who would produce results.
Mr.. Bloom stated yesterday that his
intention was, on assuming his duties
! to make the Chamber of Commerce
an active asset toward the upbuilding
of this city, to secure all the advan-
tages possible in commercial way
and to make Pine Bluff felt as COM
mercial, industrial and generally q
business center, something that will
however, not be new task for him.

b washington, March 1S.-Presidept
Wilson and provisional Presiden.
Huera have decided, it is said, to
come 10 terms. The administration
is convinced the treatment it receives
at lie hands of the Constituencies
Leader Garranza precludes his parti-
cipatou in the proposed peace
agreement
The report that Huerta's confiden-
tial agent P0rtilla Rojas will confer
with confidential agent John Lind at
Vera Cruz. was followed today by the
hspesi tive statement from a source OF
high authority that new Mexican
amb assador is expected to succeed
Cha .ge De- Affairs Algara, who now
repr esents Mexico at Washington.
FL ON these facts it may be stated
posi- lively that the President and
HueIrta will within the next few
weeks reach a mutual understand
ing" which will include the hecogni-
ton of the defacto government.
HUG rita, it is said, will take command
of he federal army, but will resign
frouk the presidency. President Will
son viii agree, it is believed, to ac-
cept the successor whom Huerta may
nan ~.
~ lential to the success of the plan
which the administration is now
fostering is the success of the federal
army at Torreon where battle is
expected Immediately. At the War
Department it was learned that mill
tary advices indicate a Federal
victory.
1t Is feared that victory by Car
ranza's force would lead to further
complication. If Huerta wins lie may
then claim to have won control OF
the situation for the present. This
would be sufficient excuse for the
suggestion of an armistic providing
Huerta will leave the presidency.
Governor Johnson of California to-
day urged that more troops be SEM
to protect Americans along the lower
border lines OF California. The pro-
test which referred to the present
day urged that more troops be sem

based upon, the killing of American
postmaster, Johnston, and the wound
ing OF his assistant Wiedendeck, al
Decarte.
As a result of the protest it was
