GUST ARMY OFFICERS
FROM POLITICAL HAND
DRASTIC STEPS ARE TAKEN IN
REGARD TO BRITISH ARMY
OFFICERS FOR FUTURE.
Irish Clash Has Brought About Spe.
citic Regulations Which Will
COnfine Them to Duties.

London, March 27.-ApparentlX
once and for all the army officers,
who imagined they are entitled to
NEEDLE in political affairs even to the
extent of attempting to destroy the
bull for which the Irish nation has
fought for more than half century,
were today crushed under the heel
Of democracy.
Mr.. Asquith promises, in a state
ment this afternoon on the position
of army officers in relation to civil
operations, to make this clear for all
time. The premier announced that
the army council had drawn up new
order, signed by Field Marshal Sir
John French. His pronouncement in
sures that never again will lit be pos
sible for army officers, as in the case
of General POUCH, to set themselves
against the wishes OF the government.
1t consists of three paragraphs:
THAT, that in future, no hypothetl-
cal questions are to be put to officers.
Second, that no assurances are to
be asked of the government by Off
GERS.
Third, all officers are to obey at
once a command to protect life or
property and support the civil power
in case of disturbance.
This disposes of the opposition OF
army cliques to the operation OF the
home rule bill. 1t also wipes out Col.
Seely's grievous mistake when he al
lowed Gen. Cough to bluff him.
Henceforth, army officers must obey
the orders given them or go, and it is
understood that for every officer who
may resign, there are three ready to
step into his place.

ROGRESS
ROSPERITY
LET'S INDUSTRIATE.

N. Webster and his successors in
dishing out words of the English
language, failed to get just this form
of ting word into the work of the last
resort when we are in doubt as to
how word is spelled, but all the
same, it soaksl the nail right on the
head with a resounding whack when
it comes to delivering the meaning.
In other words, there is mighty
fine opportunity for this section to
accumulate various industries and
manufacturing interests, that will
serve to increas payroll, and which
will serve at the same time to make
this q bigger, better city.
Ciyically speaking, by what she
does, SO you will know, applies aptly
to city. A city's progressiveness can
be ably guagued by the effort advance
cd to increase substantially, and
whether the effort put forth always
eds we'll or no, the fact there was a
reaching out speaks we'll.
Throughout the land in those sec
lions where it is deemed best to
secure additional industrial facili-
ties, there are being put forth strenu-
Gus efforts, and any one city has to
put forth strong bid to be in the
running.
It therefore behooves this city to
keep up the work that has been start
ed and to go forward granted, how
ever, that she be given just chance
to advance her interests.
Sol the slogan ought to be industrl-
ate,-or, whatever that might mean in
the language of factorizing and in
dustrializing Pine Bluff to greater
extent.

GAS ORDINANCE
OPPOSED BY DAILY
Head Of Natural Gas Company and
Members Of City Council Have
Conference.

At a conference recently held be-
tween the gas Investigating commit
tee of the city council and A. B. Daily
of Pittsburgh, Pa. president of the
Pine Bluff Natural Gas Company, Mr.
Daily argued against an ordinance
which fixes the gas pressure at min
imum of eight ounces. He did not di-
reCtly ask the committee not to push
the ordinance but cited certain reas-
ons why it would not be we'll to dc
SO.
The conference was called at thu
request of Mr.. Daily, but because OF
other business, Chairman W. B. Sor'
rells, of the gas investigating commit
tee, was not able to stay through {
lengthy meeting and the session was
brief. The other members of thu
|committee, Ben B. We'll and ]. Franz
Franey, were also at the meeting.
The ordinance, which provides for
minimum of eight ounces, was intro
duced and read twice at the las
meeting of the city council. 1t als'
provides for a public gauge and
penalty for failure to comply witt
same. Before presented for thir'
reading the ordinance may be slight,
amended.

is not expected that the president will
be in charge of funds. The situation
in the Mercantile Bank was that Mr..
Raine, whose duty it was to call in
auditors, always knew in advance
when they were coming, and he could
accordingly put his house in order"
Hutton Objects to Certain Banks.
Mr.. Hutton deplored the fact that
country banks, which he styled cone
man banks are the most seldom
audited of any in the state. In reply
to a question from Judge Wilson he
assumed that the Mercantile was a
"one-man bank, because the presi-
dent, Mr.. Raine, exercised all the
duties of subordinate officers, al
though the bank did a great business
and required the service of from Is
to 25 persons.
Incidents to the chancellor's
hearing of the receivers petition to-
settle with the directors, and Carr
Bros petition for the right to sue as
stockholders, which the chancellor
denied, Mr.. Hutton gave it as his
opinion that the directors could not
be held liable, and he explained his
acceptance of the presidency of a pro-
posed new bank. Mr.. Wilkes, Mr..
Huttons assistant, detailed Mr..
Raine's defalcations and the methods
by which he concealed them from the
directors, certified accountants and
auditing committees; and Gen l.. e.
Wright, a director, stakeholder and
depositor, at the request of the chan
cellor, gave an account OF his deal
ings with the Mercantile Bank. Gen.
Wright stated that he could not speak
for the other directors, but he was
convinced that they were as much
deceived by Mr.. Raine as he was, as
much surprised at the banks collapse
and were impelled by the same
motives in contributing to fund to
pay the stockholders.
The bank had $500 depositors
with accounts under $1,000; 25S &C
accounts represented large amounts.
Carr Bros, were the only stockholders
who objected to settlement on the
basis proposed by the receiver.
They owned stock which they valu-
ed at $16,125, and also had deposit
of about $1,000. They were repre-
scented by Judge ]. c. Wilson and W..
P. Armstrong. Caruthers Ewing, J.
w. Canada and Henry Craft repre-
scented the receiver.

SOUTHERN RAILWAY PLANS
GREAT work IN NEAR
FUTURE IN MEMPHIS
YARDS.
TO Construct Sideways, Yiaducts and
FOOt.Bridges Within Next
Sixty Days.

Memphis Tenn, March 27.-Con-
struction which will entail The ex-
penditure of more than 100000, and
which will raise the total investment
of the Southern Railway Company in
Memphis to nearly 100000 in build
ing the new classification yard a.
Buntyn, has been agreed to by the
officials of the road following the
submission of certain suggestions and
requests by the board of commission
ers of Shelby County.
The estimated expenditure for the
construction of the switching yards,
roundhouse and shops, before the ad-
ditional demands of the county COM
missioners had been met, was 100000
Many Of the items suggested by the
commission previously had not been
entertained by the railroad officials,
but following the declaration of
President Fairfax Harrison the re-
quests We're acceded to in spirit ii
cooperation, it was said, by the rail-
way officials.
AS approved by the railway Off
Gals yesterday the final plans for the
Buntyn improvements contain the
following provisions:
Provisions Acceded to.
The opening and extension of
Spottswood avenue westward from
Marechal Mel avenue, distance of
1,400 feet, to Irrelevant street or the
Parkway. Where the extension of
iSpottswood avenue crosses the tracks
of the Memphis State Line Railway
or Illinois Central Belt, a viaduct lac
feet long will be built. This struc-
ture will be 40 feet wide, which also
will I've the full width of the extended
avenue.
Secondly, the commissioners recon-
mended the construction of steel
footbridge across the Buntyn yards al
the west end, which will run from
north TO south where Marechal Me
avenue abuts the property of the rail
road company. This will permit the
use of the Buntyn cars by those who
live south of the yards. This struc
ture will be 800 feet long and 10 fee
wide.
The proposition next advanced was
that the railway should construct al
underpass,, which shall have hea6
room of IA feet, and with spans will
afford north and south drive of 81
| feet in the clear. This underpass vii
connect Park avenue with Bos-ol
! avenue and will be $50 feet long.

We notice in the Ismay Journal
of January 18th an article signed
"A Farmer" relative to the talk
ed of electric railroad from Bak-
er to the Beach country. While
we would like to see railroads of
some kind constructed penetrat-
ing to every part of Fallon Coun-
ty, the Farmer" shows
good horse sense in his criticisms,
without any ''hot air. slurs.
In last weeks issue of the Baker
Sentinel we note that a new man
on the job estimates that the
cost Of construction will be S22,-
900. 90 per mile; while in the is
sue Of January End the same
paper takes a fling at T.F.Scho-
field for estimating the cost of
the Ismay, Ekalaka & Southern
at SIS, 600 per mile as though
that were too high, and attempts
to pull the wool over the peoples
eyes ina vain endeavor to show
that the 81, 800 to be subscribed
by the farmers along the line of
the Baker project would be suf-
ficient. Quite a jump from ST.
500. 90 to $22, 600. 90, (but we
consider the source). Perhaps
they will arrive at a "golden
mean" after a while.
In the mean time we feel like
congratulating the promoters of
the Ismay, Ekalaka & Southern
in figuring only on a direct and
feasible line with a practice wat
er grade; and also congratulating
Mr.. T. F. Schofield on his con-
sentative but not exhorbitant es-
innate, and further we would
cal the attention of our readers
to the fact that this proposed
road from Ismay will penetrate
a country which is railroadless
and yet has as great agricultural
resources as the country north
Of Baker, and greater mineral
resources. This road can be
made a paying proposition, let
the good work go on.
