Is CASES SMALL POX

Officials Hospital for Treatment Ner.
Gus Diseases Declare Disease
ChickenpOX.

Little Rock, Nov determination
of reports which had been prevalent
for several weeks that there was an
epidemic of smallpox at the State
Hospital for Nervous Diseases was
obtained Friday afternoon when DR..
C. w. Garrison, state health officer,
made an investigation at the hospital
and found 80 cases. Several of the
cases were severe, DR.. Garrison said.
1t was learned that during ths lat
ter part of September smallpox was
discovered among negro inmates OF
the institution. Officials at the hos
pital, when asked concerning the re-
ported epidemic, said it was chicken
box and not smallpox. Recent inqufr;-
les resulted in the same information.
The inmates having the disease
have been isolated. In reply to an in
quiry by DR.. Garrison asking why a
report of the epidemic had not been
made. it was said trat DR.. Milton
Vaughan, city health officer. had been
advised of the situation.
That the epidemic was not serious
and that for it to become known
would cause unnecessary worry to
relatives of inmates of the institution
was ascribed as the reason why re-
ports of the epidemic were denied.

Cotton Belt ShOpmen Obtain
Wage Increase from October

Shopmen Of five crafts, in the en-
ploy of the Cotton Belt system, are
receiving pay under a higher scale
of wages, as the result of an agree
ment signed Thursday at, Tyler. Texas
by General Manager J. w. Everman
of the road, and representatives of the
five labor unions involved, news Of the
signing of the agreement reaching
here yesterday, when w. B. Hicks,
general chairman for the crafts, re-
turned from Tyler.
Machinists, blacksmiths, boilermak-
ers, sheet metal workers and carmen
to the number of about 1,400 on the
entire system, will get the increase in
pay, the higher scale having become
effective October 1.
The men get general increase OF
2 1-2 cents an hour, although quite a
large proportion will get increases
ranging from cents to 10 cents an
hour, under adjustments. The great
est increases go to the men who are
classed as the "lowest paid" in the
shops service of the road.
Local Men Get $500 More Annually.
The agreement means much to the
local shop employees, and to local busl,
ness men genearlly. There are about
500 men here who are affected by the
increase in pay, and it is estimated
Pine Bluff daily graphic. (Pine Bluff, Ark.) 1893-1942, 1916-11-12

I that the increase will average about
1925 per day, or about S67,500 per
year, in the aggregate. The men
will receive an average of about S84
per year additional in wages, although,
/; because Of the range in the adjust
ments," some will receive a much
greater increase, and others a much
smaller.
The matter first came up in May,
when the shop employees presented de-
mands to % railroads of the south
west. Since that time there have been
conferences at various places, finally
resulting in the signing of the agree
ment by one and another of the roads.
About two weeks ago the Iron Noun
tain signed the agreement and Thurs
day the Cotton Belt signed. Mr.. Hicks
was the only Pine Bluff man to sign
the agreement for the men, the various
crafts being represented at Tyler by
Texas men. Walter Davis of this city
had participated in earlier delibera-
lions, however
An interesting feature of the affair
is that the higher wage became eff
fective October /, so that the neat
sum of about $4,000 is now due local
employees of the shops for the period
from that date until now, an average
of about $40 for each of the men af-
fected.

NEW HAMPSHIRE FOR
Will SON BY JUST GO
Chairman Wilcox Of Republican Com.
mittcc Says Nothing BE Conceded or
Claimed Until Final COunt-Dcm.
Ocrats Consider Battle Over.

New York, Nov. 1l.-Today's re-
turns from Tuesdays e.ections served
only to increase the advantage of
President Wilson, who now seems as
Sured Of at least 30 votes and prob
ably 216 votes in the electoral co.,
lcge.
New Hampshire. which has waver-
ed from Wilson to Hughes for three
days, late today dropped into the
Democratic column by plurality of
G3 votes on complete certified re-
| turns in the hands Of the secretary
of state.
The few additional returns from
California and New Mexico did not
reduce Mr. Wilson's lead in those
| states. In addition, the Democrats
found comfort in dispatches from Los
Angeles which said that only differ
ence of 654 votes was found between
the highest and lowest vote for Demo-
cratic electors in the semi-official
count conducted by the registrar of
Voters. Election officials express the
opinion that these figures made it UNI
likely that the officia, count would
split California's electoral vote.
Corrected returns from Ramsey
county, Mimi, today reduced Charles
E. Hughes pluraliy in that state TO
239, with less than 80 precincts un.
reported, but tonight the first returns
from national guardsmen on the
border ran il up to 268. Political ex-
perts said this made it virtually Ger.
tain the state would be swung by two
remaining regiments on the line.
About 1000 votes were cast by the
soldiers, but all Of them will not be
counted until next week.
Republicans Await Final Count.
With the presidential race settled
to the satisfaction of the Democrats,

national Democratic committee let

Hughes had been defeated. He point
ed to the 1912 contest in California.
where the pendulum swung back and
forth for weeks, to justify his posi-
ton. Nothing will be conceded or
claimed, he said, until the final count
was in.
The Democrats concern was chiefly
with the make up of congress. Tie
senate will be Democratic by safe
majority, but with the major parties
virtually tied in the number OF seats
in the lower house. Attention turned
to the Progressives, Socialist, indie
pendent and Prohibtionist, who are
almost certain to WELD the balance OF
power in the selection OF speaker
and in determining the face of party
measures.
