Hot Springs enjoys the distinction of being the greatest health resort of the Western Continent. There are many resorts in the United States whose advantages nave been eX- plotted more extensively and if in point of patronage they may be termed rivals, it is wholly due to persistent and genuine advertising and not to genuine merit as health resorts, for where is to be found a single one in this country which has as much to offer the health seeker? Where can one be found that can offer more?
 These disease healing waters com ing forth from the bowels of the earth in ineXhaustible quantity. have made Hot Springs modern Bethesda or pool of Siloam where the sick and suffering may come and dip their bodies therein and be cured of their maladies. The half has not been told of the virtues of these waters. Nothing could bear such convincing testimony of their curative qualities or speak so eloquently of their vir- tues as the flying examples of the thousands who have ayailed them selves of them. Many theories have been advanced by scientists and oth- CTS as to the cause of the heat as well as to the healing principles of the water The solution of these questions has engaged some of the most advanced thought of the coun- try
 As to the first proposition the most generally accepted theory in a word is that the water is heated by chem ical action in passing through various strata of the earth to reach the sur face.
 As to the second proposition. the United States Government seems to have settled the question in the fall of 1905, when it sent Dr. Bertram H. Boltwood an expert chemist here with instructions to make a careful test of the water that it's curative principle might be determined, upon scientific basis. This gentleman who held professorship in an East ern college of the highest standing, came to Hot Springs and after maN ing 2 personal investigation of the situation SO that he might know that the water to be tested came direct rom the hot springs, he procured the quantity desired and, placing it in airtight containers. proceeded to his laboratory in the East where he made a most exhaustive analysis. His re port Co the Government was in suu- stance that the water contained re dum. a most powerful ljfegiying principle, hence its virtues as a cur atiye agent have since been atri- buted to its radioactiyity

 HOT SPRINGS

BRIEF OUTLINE OF ITS PAST AND WHAT IT HAS TO OFFER TO SUFFERING HUMANITY-A DE- LlGHTFUL CLIMATE, PlCTUR- ESQUE MOUNTAINS AND MA. TURE'S HEALING WATERS.

The Early History.

Tho legendary history of Hot Springs is as romantic as its historl is interesting since the time the first white man is known to have visited here It ls believed that these ther mal springs were the ones sought for
 as the Fountain ot Perpetual Yoath i by Ponce de Leon, one of the early Spanish explorers, though in vain. De Soto is given the first credit of
 discovering Hot Springs and it is quite certain that he and his eNplor | Ing army spent the winter of l5il-l2 here while directing a search for the fountain of youth as well as for gold. Translated writings of cavaliers. who were with the expedition. mentions discovering hot lakes As there are no hot lakes in this part of America ! it is certain that this is the place re- l ferred to, as up 10 the time the gov | Iernmeut began making improvements,
 the steaming hot water poured down l the mountain side. forming large pools or lakes of hot water The pro
 cess also formed a deposit called tufa, incrusting the mountain slope.
 The hot springs were as celebrated
 among the Indians for curative prop.
 critics, as now with civilization They believed the Great Spirit breathed a
 healing power into the waters, and
 the savage breast was filled with such
 sacred awe that in the valley was
 immunity from harm and strife A
 great deal of truth is attached to this
 beautiful tradition, as early French
 trappers and settlers dwelt here in peace with Indian neighbors

Spook-Ridden Babylon.

In lecture in connection with the Egypt Exploration fund. on Burial Customs in Mesopotamia and Egypt" Dr. l.. w. King said the spirit which animated the Egyptians in their varied and changing practices toward the dead was based on affection and rev. erence, but the Babylonian, in the main, was prompted by fear. The Babylonians were probably more spook-ridden than any other nation of antiquity, and their magical texts made it clear that the most terrible class of spirits were the ghosts of the dead who for some reason had been unable to enter the underworld. Driven to hunger and thirst, such a gEost might roam about and fasten on anyone with whom it had relations in this life, and it would plague him until he performed the rites that could give peace. It was mainly to lay the ghost and prevent it from haunt ing" that the Babylonians were scru- pulous in performing the due burial rites. London Times.

ITALIANS NOT. DISPOSED TO
 OFFEND U. s,
Question of Contraband Will Not Provoke Controversy,
 Says Cellere. Z

Washington, May 24.-After two long conferences with Secretary W State Bryan today, Count Macchi di Cellere, the the Italian ambassador, announced there would be no "diffl- culties between the United States and Italy on the question of contraband." Count Cellere spoke for his gov ernment, as he had received from the foreign office a long cable dispatch which had been partly deciphered and which he said he would present tomorrow to the state department.
 This communication, in large part, is review by Italy of the causes which led to the war. This review
 and the expected manifesto of the emperor of Austria on the cause of the war, will be followed by the usu- al proclamation oi neutrality by the United States,
 Dr.. Constantine Theodore Dumba was at the state department. at the time of the second visit there of the Italian ambassador. Ambassador Dumba handed brief note to Secre- tary Bryan,s which was written by the ambassador in the diplomatic read irg rooom. In thi snote, Austria clearcd@up misapprehension as to some alleged objections to be present ed at Rome by the United States;

COUNCIL REVIEWS
 | SCRAP WITH THE
 HELLO COMP ANY
Plan to. Fix License Tax on Poles at 75 Cents Each, Amount Paid Last Year.

The council last night adopted a botion by Alderman Well, seconded Nv Alderman Hut, to fix the license ax on telephone and telegraph poles t 75 cents per pole for next year, he motion being in the nature of in- ttructions for the preparation of ali Ordinance covering the matter. 1 The action of the council followed *ute lengthy discussion of the halter. Mayor Bloom explained hat last year the tax was placed at per pole. The city accepted a Compromise settlement of D cents Der pole, the telephone and tele- kraph companies being under the lm- bression that part of the compro- hise was promise that thereafter he cid rate of 50 cents per pole you'd be put into effect by the Council. No formal agreement to hat effect, however. is on the rec brds, hence the action of the coun- il last night.
 Considerable doubt exists as to whether the companies will pay the Bx, of 75 cents without court de- ision in the matter.
 Alderman Well in a talk favoring he imposition of the higher tax, tated when compromise was reached De refused to promise to vote for a eturn to the 30 cent rate. He stat d the belief that the corporations lere pay no franchise tax, as they 10 elsewhere, they Ought to aid in he cost of upkeep of the city govern nent, they make good profits here, md their franchise ordinance spe- elfically states that they shall pay |O cents or more per pole, as the council may direct. He mentioned hat while there was telephone com petition here, the people receivsd good service at very low rate put the rate now is high.

Sea Moss.

This term is popularly applied to any of the Polyzoa, which are com- pound marine animals, several of which share common horny skele- ton, or polyzoary, which is plant-like in form. According to the bureau of fisheries, several hundred thousand pounds of these skeletons have sbeen imported annually from Europe, chief ly from France and Germany, for dec- orative and millinery purposes, and the supply has now been practically cut off by the war. It therefore seems opportune to develop a domestic in- dustry, as sea mosses, probably equal in quality to those heretofore import ed, are said to be abundant on our coasts, especially in New England. Those with large bushy fronds are the most valuable.

New York, May 24.-That the state of New York would lose at least s1,- 6OOOO0' and probably $3,000,000 of the transfer tax on the estate of Alfred >Gwyn Vanderbilt, who recently lost his life in the Lusitania disaster. was stated by State Controller Eugene NJ. T. Travers. There is a tangle which may be hard to solve as to Mr. Van derbilt's legal residence and as to whether he really resided at Oakland, his farm at Newport, R. l., or the Vanderbilt hotel in New York may be question that will be put up to the courts to puzzle out
 There is much speculation here as to the probable disposal of his estate
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1915-05-25

by Mr. Vanderbilt He inherited from his father the bulk of the elder Vanderbilt's fortune, though a second sen. The elder Vanderbilt was firm believer in the English rule of giving the bulk of the estate to the eldest son but passed over his own eldest son, Cornelius, because he disapprov- cd of his marriage.
 Should Alfred Gwyn Vanderbilt have so drawn his will as to follow that custom, William H. Vanderbilt, his son by his first marriage, will be the greatest "child- millionaire" in the world, for he will inehrit the bulk of a fortune estimated at $100,000,000.
 Mir. Vanderbilt has two other chill dren by his second marriage.

TO BRING OUT EVERY
POSSIBLE POSITION

Following a long session the indus
trial commission of the Chicago City
club made this important discovery
last night: There are not enough Jobs
in Chicago to give employment to all
the unemployed.
Today a special session has been
called to perfect plan to bring out
every possible job here. The issu-
ance of a popular appeal for sUbscrip-
tons. to an emergency employment
fund.-" to be maintained separately
from all charity funds, and the organ
ization of a partly public and partly
private agency to make small unse-
cured loans in cash to the deserving
unemployed, will be discussed.
Following an appeal from the de-
partment of public welfare yesterday
Chief Gleason issued orders that all
policemen make a thorough canvas
of all shops, factories and other en-
ployers on their beats in an effort to
secure jobs for holders Of the blue
cards of the bureau, which signify
that the pOssessor is a ChicagOan.
In the Little Italy" district of the
north side the city's bureau of sur
vey recently found that the percent
age of single men unemployed was
more than 80 per cent and among
the married men more than 80 per
cent.

every human being interested therein
from the owner to the humblest la
borer.
The significance of Mr.. Lawson's
testimony is the respectful but bold
challenge to Mr.. Rockefeller to
PROVE his EXPRESSED convictions
by ACTS which will end forever the
cruel wrong being inflicted upon
those helpless miners in the canyons
of Colorado. He further interpreted
into the terms of the workingman the
more or less general declarations of
Rockefeller and laid down definitions
of words and terms left vague by
Rockefeller, such as collective bar
gaining, democracy of industry and
the like, so that these men may I'M
derstand each other, and, if they are
fully ready, act with intelligence and
sincerity in correcting the evils of
Colorado and other states in which
thousands Of workingmen represent
ed by Lawson and controlled by
Rockefeller reside.
Next in importance to the Rookie
feIler-Lawson episode was that mar
Velous utterance of Henry Ford to
the effect that all the evils of the body
polite disease, ignorance, immoral
ity and even crime itself - has an
economic basis and that a wage
slightly beyond the cost of mere ex-
istence makes the energetic and self
respecting citizen and hOme-builder
the constructor Of truly vital state
The RockefeIer-Lawson episode is
great because out of it will come at
last a peace based upon justice - a
peace that will affect more human be-
ings than any agreement ever made |
in the industrial life Of America.
If either one Of these young men
is not acting in good faith we will |
have presented IMMEDIATELY the |
typical clash between the worker |
