Secretary Bloom of Chamber of Com.  merce Takes Gloomy View of Situa- ton After Last Nights Meeting
 of Council.

If the business men of Pine Bluff want the Hot Springs, Pine Bluff & Mississippi railway to come into this or the railway will pass by Pine Bluff" was the statement made last night by Secretary E.. B. Bloom of the chamber of commerce, following adjournment of that body after a two- hour session at which no decision was reached on the franchise ordinance asked by the road.
 "The matter is much more serious than many of the business men ina gine," continued Mir. Bloom. Ut is a question now, not of days, but of hours. The business men must get busy Monday, or this city will lose that road"
 J. F. Mcintyre, head of J. F. McIn- tyre & sons, in talk to the council, stated that within the past 4S hours he had communicated with men high in the councils of the road, and he was we'll satisfied the road will be built from Benton to the Mississippi river, whether it comes into Pine Bluff or not.
 u HoO DCCh C-APSSlSO CAAN SO"AAOA- would take some action, favorabiy or unfavorably, on the franchise ordl- nance, but there was nothing but talk, Aldermen Veil and McGibbony doing most of the speaking. It was finally decided that the council meet again Monday night, to discuss and consider the matter In the meantime, a com mittee will study the situation and frame a new ordinance. The commit l tee is composed of Mayor Simon Bloom, City Clerk w. A. Lee, City At- torney Earl S. Wood, City Engineer J. F. Allen and Alderman George D. McGibbony chairman of the ordinance committee. |E
 Engineer Hart, representing the railway, was present at the cOdncl session, just as he has been present at the lengthy conferences held Fri day and yesterday by members of the council and a committee from tho chamber of commerce. MT. Hart gave the impression last. night that the rail way will not accept a franchise whicf does not follow the lines of the ordi nance offered by the company, ant which has been amended by the con ferences in monner acceptable to th' company. MT. Hart appeared to be O the opinion the council and the rail way will not be able to get together
 During and after the council ses sion last night, the indications wer' the franchise, if franchise is grant ed by the council, will not be accepta ble to the company What might de
 velop today and tomorrow, througl the activities of local business men is problematical.

ILLUSTRATE PLOT ID ASSASSlNATE
 J. P. MORGAN
Harry l.. Newton Offered to Murder Financier for
 $10,000.

New York, April 22.-A carefully devised plot to kill J. Pierpont Nor gan was revealed today when Henry l.. Newton was arraigned in the Tombs court on charge of intent to commit crime" The specific allega- ton is that he offered to take the life of the financier if paid $10,000 by German agents.
 Affidavits substantiating the charges were filed by Felix Galley. a con- tractor, and by Detective Henry Sempfs of the bomb and arson squad. Galley is of German extraction. The plot was frustrated by him. Galley says that he met Newton about ten days ago. Newton made a verbal or fer to murder Morgan for $10,000. He would demand no money until after the crime had been committed.
 According to a statement made by Captain Barnicz, in charge of the bomb squad, Galley went to police headauarters and made known the of- fer of Newton. He told the police he promised Newton he would place him in touch with German authorities who would aid him in carrying out the scheme.
 Detective Sempfs was assigned to the case. and posed as German of- ficial. Sempfs in his affidavit says that he and Galley went to the branch of the Phoenix & Chatham bank at the ] Bowery, where they met Newton. sempfs said he was introduced as German agent. Newton then went over his plans for killing the financier. He said 1t could be done either by gaining ac- cess to Morgan's office and then shooting him, or else by hiring an automobile, following MT. Morgan when he rode to his home in Glen cove. l.. l., and shooting him rom the machine.
 Newton had recently been employed lin ammunition work in Canada ana
 wore a badge inscribed "1n His Maj lestv's Service" He said this badge T would permit him to enter Morgan's
 office. Newton also offered to blow m a munitions plant in Canada, ou! did not name the amount he would ask for the job. |.
 The court ordered that Newton be
 returned to jail under $5,000 bond to
 await further examination Wednes' day. ,, 70 .,., lit was ot until today that the police made the fact known.

Washington More Optimistic.

Washington. April 22.-The favor able tone of foreign comment follow ing the receipt of the American ultl- natum by Berlin, encouraged admin jstration officials today in the belief that a break with Germany may be avoided.
 Ambassador Gerard today cabled the state department the text of Ger man newspaper comment on the American demands, The keynote of the editorials was the desire express ed for peace with the United States The state department was absolutely silent on receipt of the Gerard dis patches. The undereurrent of op- timism apparent in official circles however was an indication that MT Gerard has. not given up hope that the German government may mee the American demands in way tna1 will avert a rupture.
 Other reports showing efforts .ol Austro-Hungarian officials to lnilu ence Germany to settle the submarine issue with the United States were en couraging to officials. ., :.

VILLA, WITH 200
 MEN REPORTED
 NEAR BORDER
Said to Have Raided Ranch Near Aguas Chile, and to
 Be Headed North.

Presidio, Texas, April 22-Reports received here state that Francisco Villa, at the head of 200 men, is less than 100 miles south Of this place, on the Rio GIande.
 He and his men are said to have raided on Wednesday the Viscomte ranch, near Aguas Chile, killing nobody, but appropriating fresh horses and food.
 When they left, the report continues, Villa, apparently in good health, in- formed Enrique Votne, assistant major domo of the ranch, that ne was bound north to carry the war into the United States.
 Other reports declare the large market and mining town of santa Rosalia, between Jiminez and Chi huahua, on the Mexican Central rail- road, and immediately south of Pre- sidio, has been captured by force of Villistas and that Sierra Majada also. is occupied by Villistas. The Carranza garrison at Jiminez mutinied a week ago and declared for Villa. A conservative estimate places the tctal number of armed Villistas operating in Eastern Chihuahua now i at 1000.
 There is Scarcely any room for doubt that Villa is not wounded. After a conference today with Col Rojas, commander at Ojinaga, Col Jesus Carranza, military attache 6 the first chief, stated that it was ex tremely probable Villa had slipped through the cordon of American an( Carranza troops and was now well ou of the danger zone, in the easterl section of the state.

FOUR ASSAULTS; Of GERMANS IN
 TWO DAYS FAIL
Terrific Fire of French Ma chine Guns and Cannon
 Break Up Attacks.

London, April 22.-Four times in two days the Germans around Verdun have attempted to advance and four times their renewed offensive has been halted by the French.
 Last night. after intense bombard- ments, the Germans attacked on the slopes north of Dead Man hill, west of the Mouse, and yesterday evening they prepared an attack in great force on the Vaux section, on the eastern side of the river. Both att tempts were beaten back with great losses by the French.
 Today. the Germans made two at tacks in quick succession between Dead Man hill and the Bethincourt brook. Both of these attempts were also shattered by the deciminating machine gun and barrier fire.
