COOPER BUILDING
 ORDERED DOWN
COUNCIL TAKES ACTION TO- WARDS REMOVAL OF FOUN-
 TAIN STREET STRUCTURE.
Claim Made That the Building Was Not Constructed in Keeping with the Promise Made to the Council.

Through the adoption of a resou- ton offered by Alderman Peden to the city council last night the new building on Fountain street, built by the Cooper brothers will have to be torn down within five days. The res olution originally provided for twen- ty days intervening, but it was dis cussed some, and later changed by its author to read five days.
 Alderman ReynolGs believed that Mir, Cooper should be given time to make the building conform more near ly to the fire ordinances, but all the other members of the council, except MT. Gunther, seemed to think that MT. Cooper had varied far from his promises he made when he received the permission to erect the building, and they favored ordering it torn down.
 There were present at the council meeting Aldermen Williamson, Sig man. Gunther, Peden, Ledwidge, Shepherd. Mclaughlin, Rigsbee, Key holds and Petit.
 Wholesale licenses were granted to T. T. Marsh and to Spaulding & Smith, the latter operating under in structions from the council, from a single place of business, though it was understood there were two agen cies handled by the firm.
 A sidewalk was ordered placed across Ouachita avenue. in front cl the Christian church, and to have a Tagging sidewalk across Grand ave nue leading to the St. Johns church so that worshipers at these two very prominent churches might have ar opportunity to get to them withou wading through the heavy mud O. these streets when they are bad.

NEW PASSENGER
 DEPOT IN DEMAND
COUNCIL PASSES RESOLUTION DIRECTING CITY ATTORNEY
 M'LAUGHLlN TO ACT.
Iron Mountain Depot Question to Be Taken Before the State Railroad Commission at Early Date.

The city council last night unani- mously adopted a resolution by AL derman J. w. Mclaughlin of the sec ond ward, which authorizes City At torney Mclaughlin to enter an off cial compiaint on behalf of the city of Hot Springs against the lron Mountain railroad, which since the fire has taken no apparent steps to. ward the building of a passenger sta tion in this city.
 The resolution as adopted is as fol- lows:
 Whereas, the Iron Mountain sta ton was destroyed by the disastrous conflagration of September 5, 1913, and whereas five months have ex- pired since such fire, and whereas the railroad company obtained permis- sion from the city officials to con- struct and erect temporary station and, whereas the season of the year is now at hand which brings thou sands of people to our city, and whereas such temporary station is iu- adequate and preventsh very disa- agreeable appearance to those who arrive in our city.
 Therefore be it resolved by the city council of the city of Hot Springs, Arkansas, that it is the opinion of the council that Hot Springs being a cosmopolitan city which is visited by thousands of yis- itors from all parts of the world, is entitled to beautiful and mag nificent station which would not only do credit to Hot Springs but to the railroad company as well, be it fur ther resoloved that it is the desire of the council to insist upon the rail road company to at once begin the erection of such station to the end that the great injustice that is now being perpetrated upon this city may be discontinued and be it further resolved that our city attorney be in. structed to take this matter up with the Arkansas railroad commission and also forward said commission copy of this resolution and be it further resolved that the city clerk is hereby ordered to spread this reso- lution upon the records of this coun- ci and forward a copy of this reso lution to the agents of the Iron Mountain Railroad Company

Washington, Feb. 7.--How far the administration shall go with regula- ticn or prohibition of holding com panies; perfection of the pending in ter-statc trade commission measure; drafting a measure giving the inter- setate commerce commission author ity to regulate railroad securities and efforts to assure harmonious action, are tasks in store for the committees of congress in charge of the admins tration antitrust legislative program.

Further conferences with the president are contemplated
 Senate leaders today sought to placate republican members of the in- terstate commerce committees who have expressed indignation because amendments proposed to the inter- state trade commission bin and con- sidered in the full committee were rejected by democratic members in executive session. Senator Cummins, author of several proposed amend. ments and Senatcr Ciapp left a meet ing of the committee yesterday when they learned of this action. Senator Newlands, chairman of the commit tee and some of his colleagues told the republican members today that their co-operaticn in perfecting the trust bill was earnestly desired and assured them that no final disposition of amendments was intended to be taken in conferences of democratic members alone.
 House judiciary and interstate commerce committees will continue their hearings next week Proposed legislation against holding companies is one of the principal tasks being considered by the judiciary sub-com mittee. Members of the sub-commit tee are much impressed with the con tention that while holding company is device frequently adopted tc violate the antitrust law it also is capable Of use in an entirely innocent manner Chairman Clayton and his conferrees of the subcommittee agree that some form of the holding corpor ations are essential to competition. | Representative Morgan of Okia homa tod the house committee on in l terstate commerce today that thu

administration bill to create federal trade commission was objectionable because it would give the commission Jurisdiction over all corporations en- gagged in interstate business instead of limiting jurisdiction over large trusts Amendments on this inc are being considered by the senate inter- setate commerce committee Mir Morgan favored restricting the com missions jurisdiction to corporations having a gross annual output of $5,- 00o,0oo.

CHARGED THAT FREE TOLLS PROVISION WAS WITHOUT
 KNOWLEDGE OF MAJORITY
IS 'HERETICAL DOCTRINE"
And Representative Adamson Be- lleVes Repeating Bill Should Be Introduced in Order to 5rina out Free Discussion.

Washington Feb The provision favorng free passage for American ships through the Panma canal was injected into the democratic platform without the knowledge of the major. fly Of the resolutions committee ar Baltimore convention. according tt, the assertion today of Representative Adamson of Georgia, chairman of the interstate and foreign commerce com. mittee. He had met but three or four members of the committee. he said, who knew of the existence of the tolls plans before the platform was promulgated.
 Branding tolls exemption provI- sion as heretical doctrine" MT.

 Senator O'Gorman, who viii fight the repeal provision in the senate ans Representative Broussard of Louisi- ana.

 T am not at all troubled" said Representative Adamson," about the cry that repeating the exemption yio. lates the democratic platform. A subsidy is not cardinal doctrine of the democratic party. In fact. that exemption is contradictory interiec. ton into an antLsubsidy plank and IS void. The method of its insertion In the platform generally is under. stood among well informed people Under an idea of approving what 2 democratic congress had done. cer. tam members of the house and sen ate who were on that committee were permitted to interject that he retical provision on the idea thar they were asserting an approval of what democrats in congress had done when in fact a majority of more than 20 democrats in the house voted against the exemption"

CITY GENERALLY FELT THE EFF FECT OF CHANGE FROM 85
 POUNDS TO POUNDS.
Gas Supply Received from Louisiana, and This Is the First Trouble Ho' Springs Had Had.

From the normal pressure of about S5 pounds, the supply of natural gas was reduced to five pounds in the mains of the Natural Gas Company through Arkansas for few hours last night. The gas is piped from Louisiana a distance of about 175 miles south of Malvern, Ark. From Malvern extensions ,ead to Little Rock, Pine Bluff and Hot Springs. The reduction of the supply was due
The Sentinel=record., 1914-02-08

to the extreme cold and to the fact that all consumers use about double the usual amount oi gas during SC. we're weather.
 Anticipating trouble to some extent the Arkansas Natural Gas Company ordered all large industrial consum- CTS at Little Rock, Pine Bluff and other points to discontinue the use Of gas. In this city the new power plant resonted to coal early Friday night and other large industrials fired with coal yesterday This made t possible to keep the domestic consum- CTS supplied, with the exception of those located at the Oaklawn ter minus of the Central avenue main. This section was without gas about three hours.
 The Consumers Gas Company of this city receives it's supply from the Arkansas Natural Gas Company, the mains of both companies joining at the eastern edge of the city. Hot Springs has had little trouble with natural gas shortage since gas was first piped here three and half years ago. Vt is said that there is no danger of shortage in the Caddo fields, but that quick, extreme drop in temperature at the northern end of the pipe line system at times caus- es temporary weakness. This is felt at Little Rock more than at any other point, that city being he norh- ern terminus of the line.

WITH FORTY OR FIFTY MEXI CANS THEY DIED IN A RAIL.
 WAY TUNNEL.
BANDIT CHIEFS VENGEANCE
Wrecked Train in a Tunnel in Re Venge for the Defeat and Slaughter of His Band of Robbers and High Waymen.

Juarez, Mex, Feb. 7.-The six Americans and forty or fifty Mexi- cans whose fate has been a mystery since the destruction of the Cumbge tunnel last Wednesday, were sutfo- cated
 This information was received here tonight at the headquarters of the Mexico Northwestern railroad. The tragedy is laid at the door of Maxine Castillo, the bandit leader.
 A special train, carrying twenty Americans, led by w. J. Fagragut of the Mexico Northwestern railroad. fifty cOffns and rescue outfit left here tonight for the scene
 The exact number of persons aboard the passenger train which consisted of one frst-class, two sec- ond-class coaches, a baggage and eX- press car and a freight car. is not known. First reports put the num- Der at thirty-fve, while seventy-fye was the number stated in a request for coffins This evidently was an estimate, however, as the searching party, led by Dr. F. c. Herr of Ma dera, was unable to penetrate far enough into the tunnel to count the dead.
 Bodies, it is expected, will be found strewn along the tunnel Dr.. Herr reached 6 body within 300 feet Of the north entrance to the tunnel. It was that of Juan Fernandez rear brakeman of the train As the pas senger train did not stop until with in d few hundred feet of the freight train with which Castillo had set fire to the tunnel, seven hours before, Fernandez must have staggered and crawled nearly three-quarters ot mile before he succumbed to the smoke In his trail it is believed the others will be found.
 Railroad men here and in Fl Paso are furious at Castillos act. On Tuesday twenty-tWo of his men were captured and executed by the rebels and the next day apparently in re- venge, he captured the freight train, ran it into the south end of the tun- mel, about 300 feet and there set fire to it.
 The passenger train entered the death trap from the north, probably travelling at it's usual rate of about fifteen miles an hour. When the en- ginee7 discovered the trap it was too late
 Castillo's failure to send back warn ings of his deed is regarded as the most cruel act of his career of out lawry.
 And there is disposition here to criticize Gen. Francisco Villa for not having crushed him long ago.
 The missing Americans, all employ es of the road, are:
 M. J. Gilmartin, superintendent ol the Chihuahua division.
 II. Scofeld, superintendent of ter minals at Juarez.
 Leo Williams, assistant manager oi commissary.
 II. F. Marders, express agent.
 F. l. McCutcheon, engineer.
 U. F. Webster, conductor.
 Two Mexican cowboys were respoh sib.e for a report that all had escap- ed and that the Americans had been held for ransom There was reJolc ing at this, but the jubilation was short lived, for soon after the bulle tins from Dr. Herr began to arrive

 n1OWNDt M HELPS
COMMUNITY IDEA THE THING
No Doubt That Towns Should Be Laid Out fo' the Benefit of All the
 inhabitants.

It is pleasing to note that town planning organizations are coming into fashion even in villages or 1000 population. Such agencies are not as general as they should be, but the idea of directing the future develop ments of clustered communities along thoughtfully planned lines, instead of on the old style go-as-you-please plan. Is spreading. with hopeful indications that 1t will come into universal ac- ceptance. 9ss 3
 The small town or village has the same sort of interfering difficulty in planning the layout in accord with ar tistic ideals that blocks the way in the older parts qof the cities. The town is built, and quite often built wrong To put it right would mean to tear down and respace and replace the old structures. Such costly re- modelling is never thought of-it is simply out of the question.
 Sometimes a sweeping fire clears a large business or residential area, and then there is real opportunity to do some effective planning. not only as to the architecture of the buildings that are to arise, but as to the setting and spacing, and. perhaps. the parking. But what every town can and should do is to arrange the space that b available not only to beautincahon. but with regard to convenience and sanitation. There is rather too much individual freedom in the average small town in the mattar k handling property. There needs to be com munity idea that dominates indlvi4nna action.
