That the evidence being presented
before County Judge G. M. Philpot
to resist the issuance of liquor licel-
ses for Pine Bluff for 1914, will
shortly come to an end, was indicat-
ed yesterday afternoon when the
hearing for the day was closed and
Judge Philpot wished to know when
there would be an end.
Attorney 'Sorrells, representing the
opponents of liquor licenses said he
thought the evidence from his side of
the case would be finished by Satur-
day, possibly at noon.
Judge Philpot declared that thers
must not be anly long drawn ouS
delay in the securing and preyeta-
ton of testimony, saying.
81 have other matters to attend to
besides hearing this evidence and the
hearing must certainly be expedited"
Attorney Sorrells explained as one
of the reasons why there sa1 been
such long drawn out testimony, that
those on the side of the remons-
trants had been working for a num-
Der of lists and it required consider
able time to check off and eliminate
some names. He said he thought
matters would be in good shape by
this morning to go through the work
with rapidity.s Judge Phllpot then
Informed the attorneys that the hear
ing would be pushed rapidly and ii
there were any further occasions FOR
any delays, excuses would be pushed
aside, and the hearing go ahead with
anyway.
Rules On Addresses.
During the afternoon session Jude
Philpot was called upon to rule con-
corning addresses. He holds that ii
person signing the petition CAV.
his or her postoffice address. where
mail is received, that would be sur
ficient. A man, he said might GO
his mail at some business house and
that would hold. This construction
places it that person does not nee
essarily have to receive mail where
he or she lives. The efforts Of the
remonstrants has been all along to
show that certain persons who sign
ed the liquor petitions anu gave ad,
dresses, do not live at the addresses
given and that many Of them wer,
not residents OF Pine Bluff on Janu-
airy /, 1914.
The burden of the work on the re-
monstrants has been and will for the
remainder Of the hearing be to show
that certain persons. signing the pc
tition are non-residents, were but
| transients not making Pine Bluff
their home, or do not live at address
es given, while the efforts OF those
upholding the saloons will he tt

A gang OF 10 men, working in a
street car track excavation. narrowly
escaped death at 7:30 o'clock, Mon.
day morning, When trolley wire on
Woodward-ave.. snapped from the
cold, in two places, between Forest
and Hancock-ayes. one end OF the
wire dropped into the excavation and
sputtered among the rails until it be.
came red hot. Traffic Officer Charles
Nutley, stationed at Woodward and
Forest-aves.. and Gus Milo, foreman
OF the ID. u. II. gang, drove the men
from the excavation, and removed the
wire before anyone was injured.
Thousands OF persons on their way
to work either walked the remainder
OF the distance to the downtown sec
ton or remained prisoners in the
cars. Although service was resumed
in less than a half-hour after the wire
parted, the Woodward cars were
stalled from Hancock to Piquette-
ayes, a distance of more than a mile.
A half-minute schedule was in effect
at the time OF the accident. At 8
o'clock, the cars were still closely
punched together a few blocks north
of Hancock-ave. Because of the eX-
IRENE cold, thousands of persons de-
clined to leave the cars and walk. and
crowded conditions continued for two
hours after the wire broke.
The wire broke first at a point mid
way between Forest and Hancock
ayes. A second later, il snapped near
| Forestave., directly over the spot
where new foundation Is being laid
under frog. The workingmen, most
! of whom are italians, stared in horror
az the wire writhed among the rails
Patrolman Nutley and Milo drove the
men away from the wire. Then, with
rope and dry broom, they pushed
and pulled it away from the rails.
Edward Levandovski, an inspector
for the public works department, who
is stationed at the Forest-ave. job
saw the break in the middle of the
block. and rushed t6 Haneock-ave.. to
stop the, south.bound traffic on Wood
ward-ave. Many autoists on their
way 20 their Offices, argued angrily
with the inspector before they could
be persuaded to turn off on Hancock
ave.
Seems as though they wanted Ia
drive right into the wire" said Levan
dovski.
At O'Clock. the d. u r. repair
gang had spliced the wire together al
| the breaks. and slow service was
resumed. More time was lost because
II became necessary for the car crews

passed under the spliced portions.
Only a few seconds before the wire
broke at Forest-ave., crowded cal
