GREAT PRESSURE
Will Try to Force Congress
on Canal Free
Tolls.
UNDERWOOD OPPOSES,
He VIII Not Attempt to Act as Presi-
dents Pilot in House on This
Matter, 1t Is Said.

Washington, Feb. 19.-Representa-
tive Robert Lee Henry, Chairman of
the House Rules Committee, after a
conference at the White House today
confirmed the story that President
Wilson was bringing all adminstra-
ton influence to bear on Congress for
repeal of the Panama canacal fee toll
act, because of Great Britians threat
to azrogate three important treaties.
The president exacted promise
from Mr.. Henry that the rules COM
mittee would place nothing in the
way of the legislation desired.
Mr.. Henry said after the confer
ence with the President he had not
discussed the matter with House
Leader Underwood.
Mr.. Underwood is opposed to the
proposed repeal of the Panama canal
act, and made his position clear at
the White House yesterday.
Mr.. Henry admitted with amazing
frankness his lack of familiarity with
the treaty problem as related to the
canal act. He said he. was merely
accepting the views of the President
Another White House visitor today
was Senator Leader Kern. Senator
Kern voted for the clause giving free
tolls to American coastwise ships. He
refused to say after the conference
whether he had allowed the president
to chang his views.
Immediately after Senator Kern re-
turned to the capital he was sought
out by Leader Underwood.
1T is understood Mr.. Underwood
announced flatly he could not under
take to pilot through the House for
the president the free tolls repeating
legislation. He does not agree, 1t is
said. with the views of Mr.. Henry
that a majority of the House Dem
ocrats are in favor of repeating the
law.
House responsibility for the repeal
ing legislation will be passed by Mr..
Underwood to representatives Adam
son, of Georgia, chairman OF the
House Interstate and Foreign Com
merce Committee, from which COM
mittee the bill is to come to the
House.

on both of the petitions as one peti-
ton in order to show a majority of
the white adult inhabitants of the
city as signers.
The prohibitionists or remons-
trants in that event, claim the right
to attack the names of an person on
the petition as whole as to legality
and according to a statement by one
of the attorneys for the prohibition
lists, will be entitled to have a COM
plete re-hearing on the entire list of
names.
No Time Chosen.
Those fighting for the maintain
ance of saloons and those opposed to
such. each held conferences yester-
day. 1t is said that no definite time
has been selected for filing the new
petition and old one as a whole in
the event Judge C.. M. ,Philpot should
decide such course is lawful.
Those for the liquor petition will en-
deavor to secure all the names pos
sible and it is not believed that they
will be willing to file the petition I'M
til it is certain that the city has been
thoroughly canvassed. There was
nothing given out yesterday as to how
many names had been secured for the
liquor petition, and likewise, it could
not be learned how many persons
who signed, had withdrawn their
names.
Although the old petition was de-
livered on the authority of the Coun-
ty Court to the liquor petitioners be-
fore notice had been served on
County Clerk c.. NJ. Nichol that ap-
peal had been taken to the Circuit
Court, and that the petition be turn
ed over to the Circuit Clerk. The
case, it is held in some quarters, is
within the jurisdiction of the Circuit
Court, and Judge A. B. Grace could
order the petition returned to the
files of his court.

CITY BEAUTIFUL
DISCUSSES BUDGET
Rabbi Jasin Tells How CITY
Can Meet Current
Expense.
IS BASED ON SURVEY.
Three Aldermen We're Present and
Expressed Much Interest in Facts
and Figures Presented Them.

That citizens of the city should
have a direct hand in the public af-
fairs and that the financial matters
should be worked out on a co-operat-
i've basis between the aldermen and
citizens; set principle should be es-
tablished instead of merely cursory
occasional visits, was the slogan ad-
vanced at the meeting of the City
Beautiful Club last night in the AS
sembly Hall of the Chamber of Com
MERGE
Primarily the meeting was called,
with an invitation extended to city
officials and the public to attend, for
the purpose of considering that por-
ton of the report on the city affairs
by the Bureau of Municipal Research
OF New York insofar as they relate to
the budget about to be prepared for
the year.
Aldermen w. B. Sorrells, Ben. B.
We'll and J. Frank Franey, and City
Engineer r. P. Allen were present,
and when they heard of some of the
suggestions given, whereby it is hop
ed Pine Bluff will be materially bene-
fitted, they expressed themselves as
favoring such moves as will place
the city out of the rut of the scrip
and warrant system and on a sound
err basis.
The meeting was presided over by
Mrs. N. B. Trulock, president of the
City Beautiful Club, and she called
attention that there would be pre-
scented a tentative budget for the
year. The subcommittee on the bud
get for the club is composed of H. G..
Spaulding and Rabbi Joseph Jasin.
and owing to the absence of Mr..
Spaulding, DR.. Jasin presented the
report.
DR.. Jasin's Report.
DR.. Jasin's report, since it went in
to details of city finances and brought
up questions of reductions in ex-
pense and increase of efficiency, was
highly commended by those present.
At once after taking the floor he said
the main object was to vindicate the
principle of the council consulting
with the public in making the budget.
The aldermen present said at this
juncture, that the public is always
welcome to meetings and suggestions
are welcomed. Rabbi Jasin said it
should be so that the entire city, and
not on the shoulders of a few men,
should be borne the task of framing
the budget.
Alderman Sorrells said that the
state of affairs was due in a large
measure, so far as public interest is
concerned, to the we'll known indiffer-
ence of the public to civic matters
Pine Bluff daily graphic. (Pine Bluff, Ark.) 1893-1942, 1914-02-20

where actual participation is needful,
and Rabbi .Jasin responded that there
was no desire on his part to eriti-
cize the aldermen in their undertake
ings.
Alderman Sorrells was asked to re-
peat the suggestions he made at the
ducing the city expenditures SO that
the city could come within it's source
of revenue and he gave this as re-
quested. The other aldermen par
ticipated in this matter.
After this Rabbi Jasin entered into
an analysis of the statements made
Monday night at the council meeting
on the financial situation. In sub
stance he said:
"That plan does not provide a
method whereby the city can meet all
of it's obligation. 1t is in reality put
ting off a large amount of trouble for
two years, for all services rendered
during the year and thus doubling
the $67 900 in outstanding warrants to
fall due in 1916. Some day the day
of judgment is going to come and
then this method will be to be stop
ped"
Gives Some Plans.
Rabbi Jasin then advanced some
| plans as to how the city budget could
be made out for the year, even though
no receipts were to be had from sa-
looms. 1t is said that last years def
! cit was $4,000 and this was the best
showing that had been made for sew
eral years, and, if there should be a
decrease of $4,000, due to a lack of
LIQUOR license revenue, it would total
the sum of 100000, as the city finances
were managed last year.
Items of the various departments
were then taken up and concerning
these, he presented figures which he
declared showed convincingly that at
least $4,000 could be saved yearly,
without any legislation and without
in the least diminishing the efficiency
of the city government. Going over
the various items he said that there
was $4,000 unaccounted for, and he
thought this could be ascertained by
city books being carefully examined.
The speaker declared that there
were a number of ways at the COM
mand of the city whereby the city
revenues could not only be increased,

INDIGNANT over
S CONVENTION DOPE
Pine Bluffians Did Not
Agree to Switch Demo-
cratic Gathering.
BRAND IT AS UNTRUE.
Judge James Gould Writes Commune
cation to Little Rock Press, De-
nOuncing Story as Canard.

Pine Bluffians who went to the
Stock Growers Association meeting
at Little Rock Wednesday were loud
yesterday in indignant denial that
they even intimated so much as a
thing as allowing Little Rock to have
the Democratic Convention provided
the stock growers convention would
be named for Pine Bluff next year
They declared the first they knew
of the alleged deal was when they
read it yesterday morning in the
Gazette
Judge James Gould, one of the
delegates, speaking for the Pine Bluff
delegation, declared that the thought
of such an exchange was entirely
out of the question. He said that
never would the men who went from
this city to Little Rock to the stock
growers convention have agreed, even
it they had been clothed with such
authority, to swap the Democratic
convention for the stock growers. 1t
would be case Of trading one Of the
most important conventions, number
ing some 1900 persons, for a little
affair, the total attendance of which
would reach about 100 persons.
1t was decided at the convention
that Little Rock would be chosen for
the convention place next year for
the stock growers but after this act
ion had been taken, it was learned
that the matter of selecting meeting
place rested with the executive COM
mittee entirely. For that reason the
executive committee Of the stock
growers convention will have to des-
ignate such meeting place.
Attorney A. H. Rowell of Pine
Bluff made brilliant speech in favor
of this city for the stock growers
convention and it is said that it was
due largely to his effort that so large
vote was cast in Pine Bluffs favor.
AS an evidence that he is far from
being in sympathy with the reports
as published in Little Rock concern
ing as within the meeting place of
the Democratic convention, Judge
Gould yesterday wrote a letter to
the Gazette, which is as follows:
