counting the vote of approximately
100000 railroad employees on the
question Of authorizing general
strike should their demands for an
eight-hour day and time and half
for overtime be finally denied, was

tatively that the vote was overwhelm-
inglv in favor OF a strike.
The full returns will be made
known tomorrow when the eaders
again submit their demands to the
railroad managers.
Mr.. Garretson, official spokesman
for the men, said that the order for
the general strike would not be given
until all efforts to reach an agree
ment had failed. While reiterating
that the men will not consider the
managers plans OF arbitration under
present conditions, he limited that II
a different form of arbitration is pro-
posed, the men will meet the rail
road half way in avoiding a strike.

the War Department by
the Judge Advocate.

WASHINGTON, August 7-Ad1u-
tant Geenral John Bond Is not
member Of the national guard. No
adjutant general in any state or the
DiBtric of Columbia is. He Is an ad-

The status of that gentleman
viewed from the legal lore which
bears upon matters military has been
defined by Advocate General Crowder
of the army, whose deAnitive decree
was promulgated from the war de-
partment today. The answer Is that
an adjutant general is an administra-

A relic of old days, Of tas lime
when Pine Bluff had no water system,
when the fire department depended
upon specially-constructed wells for
a supply of water, was dug up" yes
terday forenoon at Alabama and Bar
raque streets, when bricklined fire
we'll was uncovered.
Workmen engaged in the construc

for a sewer manhole. when they SUI

City Engineer Frank R. Allen, and 1t
was decided the we'll must be filled
up, because it Is source of danger,
especially If there should be seepase
during high water stages in the river.

that point, and necessarily would hc
a source of weakness to the bank, II
there should be even small leak.

CONNECT COURTHOUSE
WITH SEWERAGE SYSTEM
Sewer Being Laid in East Barraque

Work is we'll advanced on the build
ing of the special sewer line to con-
meet the courthouse with the ma
sewer in East Third avenue, and by
the middle of next week 1t is expected
the job will virtually be completed.
The work is expensive in it's nature,
becal : of the depth at which tue
pipe must be laid. and the distance to
be covered, approximately 1900 feet.
The sewer is being run from the
courthouse east on Barraque street
to Alabama street, thence south to a
point near Third avenue, where It
connects with the main sewer.
& The courthouse heretofore has been
equipped with it's own sewer system,
which emptied into the river back OF
the county temple OF justice. The
change in the rivers channel, how
ever and the c'nsequent lack OF flow
of the water at the point, has made
it absolutely necessary for the court
house to make other arrangements
and the special line to connect with
the city sewers was the only solution
possible.
