i which were destroyed by the fire
which followed the explosion. A war
rant was issued for the arrest OF
Theodore B. Johnson, president OF
the Tightening company, one OF whose
barges loaded with ammunition is al
! legged to have been moored at the pier.
Frank Hague, commissioner IF
| public safety of New Jersey, charged
| that the blame lay with either the
Lehigh Valley railroad company, the
storage company or the ]ighterage
! company, and that some of them had
violated the laws of New Jersey, the
Jersey City ordinances and the rules
of the Interstate commerce commits
sion by permitting barges loaded
with explosives to remain moored at
the piers overnight. These ba, ges
were being used to transport the am
munition to steamers lying in Graves
end bay.
Probing Cause of Fire.
Several Investigations were COM
menccd today to discover the origin
of the awful fire which caused the
awful explosion that destroyed So
100000 worth of ammunition, 80
freight cars, set blazing ammunition
barges adrift to lombard the statue
of Liberty and the Ellis Island immi-
grafton station with shells and shrap-
mel and shattered 100000 worth OF
windows in this city. One OF the in
vestigations is conducted by Col. Bev-
erly W. Dunn, chief inspector of the
bureau of explosives of the American
| Railway association and the inter-
state commerce commission. He is
aided by 80 inspectors. The county
! prosecutor and city authorities in
| Jersey City are making Investigations
also. 1t is understood agents OF the
department of justice are making in
:. quiries to learn whether the explo-
sion was the work of an incendjary.
| &l5.OOG.N00 Property Loss.
At least $1O,OOG,000, probably S13,-
coo 900, damage was caused by the
destruction of 10 Of the Is ware
houses of the National Storage COM
pany in Jersey City, Edmund L. Mac
Kenzie stated today. This loss is
amply covered by insurance.
The damaged goods included 3e,o0o
tons of raw sugar, valued at between
$3.OO0,GOO and $4,0G0;000, and 24,ooo
bales of tobacco. On ccnslgnments
CT munitions and other supplies go
ing 10 France, loss will fall on lnsur-
ance companies, owing to the fact
that policies issued to the French
government cover shipments from the
beginning of the trip until delivery.
English shipments are insured only
Gin waterside" in New York, while in
the case of shipments to Russia poll
cies are written both ways.
Conflicting reports as TO the cause
of the fire are still circulated. Le-
high Valley officials assert that an
interloping barge loaded with ammu-
milton was moored at their pier in
defiance of their orders, and that he
first explosion took place on board
that vessel The commissioner OF
public safety said today that four
ammunition barges were at or near
the piers and that all of them were
destroyed. 1t is feared their crews
persisted.
The big pier just west of the statue
of Liberty is today mass OF smok-
ing ruins with the debris piled hun
dreds of feet high in places and with
the fire still burning. The statue vlr-
! tually is unchanged, but the doors to
the pedestal are blown IN.

OF GREAT VALUE TO PINE BLUFF

Much labor and thought is being given to The
Graphic's HalfCentury Edition in order to make it
VALUABLE AND INTERESTING to the reader,
PROFITABLE to the ADVERTISERS and a true

VANTAGES possessed by this city and community.
All enterprises OF A PUBLIC NATURE will be
featured fuyaby the writings of competent men
nected with them and large private enterprises will in

gressve efforts of these great systems and the BIG
Drained MEN in control of them will be appreciat

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

There is a gradual falling off in the
war munitions trade of the United
States, but the plants that have been
filling these huge contracts for the
allies are converting the plants into
establishments for the manufacture
of articles required in time OF peace,
and are preparing to ego after more
business among nations whose biggest
orders, in days gone by, have been
filled by English and German firms.
This means that there is little likell-
hood of there being any decrease IN
the trade activities and the prosperity
of the United States.
In this issue of the Merchants d
Planters Review, issued by the Mef-
chants & Planters bank, this situation
is discussed over the signature OF ).
C, Alexander, who writes:
."Although predictions are beng
freely made that there must soon be d
recession in the present high tide Oh
American prosperity, existing signs OF
bushes activity fail to warrant the
conclusion that such recession has as
vet actually begun. Stock prices nave
considerably declined OF late, II Is
true. but the loss was most consplcu-
Gus among concerns making num-
t;ons. and standard investment were
only slightly affected.
aside from the decline in stocks, as
above noted, and slight falling Oft IN
the untitled steel orders, the induces OF
continue to point to an up
ward movement. Bank clearings, rail-
way earnings, building activity, fewer
business failures, ETC., all sustain the
view that we have not yet reached the
crest of the wave.
"The close of the fiscal year on June
30 showed a foreign trade exceeding
six and one-half billion dollars-a
total never before reached by this or
any other nation. Of this stupendous
sum $4,345 100000 represented ex-
ports and 81, $50, 100000 imports.
"Unfilled orders of the United
States Steel corporation at the end OF
June represented 9,640,45S tons, as
against 9,937,79S at the close OF May.
The figures for June of this year are
more than double the tonnage on the
books year ago.
"Weather conditions, up to the last
of July, were generally favorable to
the crops, although recent tropical
storms in the south have done some
damage"
"The Mexican situation has Quoted
down and mediation is no wbeing dis
cussed. In the European war theater
the offensive has been taken by the
entente allies and heavy fighting has
occurred both on the eastern and
western fronts"

Cosmopolitan Bangkok.

In southern Siam, Bangkok, the cap
ital, is the principal port, and had at
the last enumeration population OF
54O,G79, Of which a large proportion
are Chinese. The city of Bangkok is
situated on both sides of the river
Menam Chao Phya, about twenty-five
miles upstream from the bar at its
mouth. This bar forms a great OBJ
stacle to shipping, allowing only YES
sells to cross at high tide drawing
from e feet inches to IA feet 6
inches, according to the season OF the
year. Vessels Of greater depth, how
ever, find safe anchorage at all times
at Kohsichang, all island located about
twenty-five miles sfrom the mouth OF
the river.

Do you know there are babies IN
Pine Bluff actually suffering for lack
of sufficient nourishment? 1t is true.
There are people too poor to buy sui
ficient wholesome milk for their
babies. This condition ought not to be
allowed to exist in cit vas prosper
Gus as Pine Bluff. The officials Of the
Associated Charities are finding it diff
ficult to meet these calls. You car
help. Half dollar will buy almost
enough milk to give a baby nourish
tment for week.

At this time of the year, when hot
sun bakes unimproved roads into a
crucible, they are most likely to fool
a cursory observer into thinking they
are "good enough" in their unlmprov-
ed state. The right time to judge
roads, however, is after rainy season
and in the winter months. Most unim-
proved roads are in the ''impassable"
lclass more than half the year, though
those who utilize them have &c
manage somehow. In the hot summer
months unimproved roads are at then
very best-but that is at most only
three months Of the year.

Why the Choice.

"Of course, I want my daughter to
have some kind of artistic education.
l think I'll let her study singing" said
Mrs. Neighbor. "Why not art or lit
erature?" suggested Mrs. Highbrow.
art spells canvas and literature
wastes reams OF paper. Singing mere
ly produces a temporary disturbance
of tho atmosphere" was the reply
New York Times.
Pine Bluff daily graphic. (Pine Bluff, Ark.) 1893-1942, 1916-08-01

From the time when "the memory
of man runneth not to the contrary"
The Graphic has preached the Cos
pei of spending Pine Bluff money in
Pine Bluff, and this seems good time
to again call attention to the advis-
ability of complying with this duty.
Especially, because many of Pine
Bluffs women are making vacation
trips, and are likely to be lured into
extravaganza by the enticing adver-
tisements and displays of stores in the
big cities. AS the Little. Rock Gazette
recently pointed out, this is good
time for Husbands and fathers whose
wives and daughters are travelling in
the North and East to write to the
absent ones to urge them to do their
fall buying at home.
"Buying at home," continues the
Gazette, sis a sort of cooperation
that pays we'll and women, who each
day are taking larger place in move
ments for the general welfare, should
be willing to enter heartily into this
most important movement"
It is not only that buying in Pine
Bluff is a duty that each resident owes
to the city-in the long run it will be
found that buying in Pine Bluff is
more economical. 1t is barely possible
that occasionally good buyer, fami-
liar with goods and with prices, may
obtain from a big city store one article
for slightly less price than the same
article can be purchased in Pine Bluff
But few people are so familiar with
goods and prices that they can rely
on their own judgment, entirely, and
the real bargains are so scarce as tc
make the hunt Improbable.
The big town store that offers one
article below cost as "leader" de
ponds upon selling the customer othel
articles at prices that will more thar
offset the loss on the "leader." AS
general rule, it is safe to say tina
better bargains can be procured b.
Pine Bluff people from Pine bluf
merchants. There are numerous rea
sons for this: The first is that tn
local merchant cannot afford to mis-
represent-he must deliver tn
goods;" he is here all the time, an
reputation for fair dealing is III
greatest asset. The out-of-town nous
can afford to slip you somethln
"shoddy'-it has your money and yoN
chicks" can't hurt. Pine Bluff store
buy in the same markets as the house
of the larger cities and obtain as 10
rrices; the transportation cost on
article from the market to your non
is probably less when coming throue
the Pine Bluff merchant. Another b
factor in the selling price; fact
favorinf the Pine Bluff merchant
tlaat he operates at less expense th'
III merchant in the big city-ren'
help, taxes are below the same tier
Il expense Of the big city store.
Clear reasoning will show that 7

&c city store day in and day QUIT

Another thing to be considered, too,
is this: When you buy in the big city
by mail or in person-you
pay cash on the counter. Take $500 IN
your hand, and go to any Pine Bluff
store and make your purchases for
cash. If the Pine Bluff merchant
doesn't put the goods in your home at
less cost to you than the same quality
articles can be procured elsewhere,
please let The Graphic know about it.
