DRIVERS
 SEEK RETURN 0F
 LOCALS CHARTER
Delegations Leaves Here Yesterday on Special Gar
 for Cleveland Meeting.

To seek the reinstatement of the Pine Bluff and Tyler branches of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, delegations from the two cities left here on a special Pullman car yester- day for Cleveland, Ohio, where they will appear before the national coun- cil on Monday. The charters of the Pine Bluff and Tyler locals were sus- pended last year, the action growing out of the controversy between the Cotton Belt and it's operatives over the case of Conductor J. R. Tillman.
 Several members of the local dele gation were accompanied, by their wives. among those making the trip being MT. and Mrs. w. H. Graves, MT. and Mrs. w., Armstrong. MT. ana Mrs. c. T. Bond. MT and Mrs John Roma. MT. and Mrs. John Kennedy, MT. and Mrs. w. c. Cahoon, E. O' King. D. Hope, Lee Hardness, J. Crowley and D. L.. Anderson.
 The party expects to reach Cleve- land early Sunday morning, and to be away from Pine Bluff about ten days. 1,.,w o,a
 The charters of the flhe Dun "n1 Tyler locals were suspended when the branches failed to expel or sus- pend certain members who were charged with violating the laws .ol the organization in. the controversy between the trainmen and the Cotton Belt. 1t is understood that severa. members were accused at that tune m of taking, the side of the railroae n;,,, , a1though the majority voted to strlke in the event that Conductor I1liman was not re-instated. The national or, %, fcers ordered that the accused oe o suspended by the locals in which tnes M held membership, but those makans as the charges were unable to mussei tnet sufficient strength to overcome 'na' .. of the accused. The suspension o' inc charters followed.

Indicted for murder by an English coroner's jury as result of the sinking of the Lusitania, an unal med
 vessel, and the loss of more than 1000 lives, the German emperor and his government have now been called
 upon by the United States to make reparation aand give assurance that henceforth the law of nations and humanity shall be observed. The opinion prevails in some high circles that the German government will seek by every possible means to avoid precipitating conflict with the United States, although it is not believed Germany will agree to aban- don her submarine warfare entirely.

London, May 15-The impression made here by the text of Presiden, Wilson's note is most favorable. There is as much earnestness here to know what Germany's reply, both official and unofficial, will be, as it felt in Washington.

Citizens Of SOuthSide Appoint a
Committee To Raise a
Sprinkling Fund.
CANVASS ON THREE STREETS
Some Favored Oil But Majority
Voted For Sprinkling By
Contract.

A meeting of property owners
on South Main and South Virginia
Streets and Alumnae Avenue was
held at the H. B. M. A. rooms
Tuesday night to consider the dust
problem. M. c. Forbes was made
chairman and Archie Cant secretary
of the meeting.
Mr.. Forbes reported that propo-
sition had been made to sprinkle the
streets named from Twelfth to the
city limits as often as necessary to
keep down the dust from April Is to
Nov. / for $1,105. A canvass of the
district showed 165 houses and it was
the sense of the meeting that the cost
should be apportioned according to
the residences and not according to
the front foot, since the dust come
from the street as whole and from
the crossings, as well as from each
persons own frontage.
A vote was taken to decide be-
tween oil and water and most of the
20 or more present favored water
and the selection was made unani-
nous.
On motion the following commit
tee was named to canvass the terri
tory and request each person affect
ed to subscribe not exceeding S., or
a little more than 81 month. In
the event all bear their part, 81 will
be enough. The committee is as
