BULL MOOSE TO

New York, July ia conference
of representative Progresslves from
all parts of the country soon will be
held in Chicago, it was announced to-
day by cambridge Colby, to consider
the widespread and bitter revolt with
in the country against the action Of
the national committee in endorsing
Hughes, the Republican nominee, for

The date will be decided on in a
few days, Mr.. Colby said. Mr.. Colby

from John M. Parker Of Louisiana,
Progressive nominee for vice presi-
dent, in which Mr.. Parker "star cham

mittee, adding: can enormous number
of voters will never submit to such
treatment, and l believe that if we
can secure a new convention, pre-
ferably on August 5, the anniversary
of the birth Of the Progressive con-
vention, that we may see an over
whelming wave of protest against the

have immense representation in Chi

MONEY FOR ROAD
WORK IN STATE
Federal Government Will
Spend This Sum If State
Puts Up Equal Amount.

Little Rock, July 12.-The signing
of the Bankhead good road act by
President Wilson will mean biz
things for good roads IN Arkansas, if
Arkansas will take advantage of its
provisions for securing federal aid.
During the next five years the state
should receive total of $1,272,75O
out of the grand total of $75,000,0O0
appropriated by the act for the en-
couragement of road building in the
various states.
The amounts to be received annual
ly are as follows: 1917, for the year
ending July 1, sS4,S5O; 1918. $780,
700; 1919, s254.550; 1920, 1899, 400;
1921. s424,250.
1t is provided, however, that each
year the state must provide AN equal
amount to be used on the roads. else
the federal aid will not be available.
Just how this can be done is a sys-
tenn that must be worked out State
Highway Commissioner Owen is
deeply Interested in the possibilities
of the scheme, and is devoting con-
siderable study to it. He will call into
consultation county judges and road
builders from all over the state to
consult upon what plan can be sub
mitted to the legislature to secure for
the state the advantage of this large
amount of money.

COMMISSION. TO
PLAN RELIEF OF
BORDER TROUBLE
Negotiations Are progress
ing Favorably" Says Act
ing Secretary Polk.

Washington, July 12.-Informal
negotiations for the settlement of Dor
der disputes between the United
States and Mexico are progressing
favorably," Acting Secretary Polk
said today, after his second confe"-
ence with Eliseo Arredondo. Mexican
ambassador designate.
Although Mr.. Polk would not add to
his statement, it is understood that it
now is assured the steps being taken
foreshadow the appointment of COM
missloners by each government to
formulate a plan of action for perma-
nent relief of border conditions.
Mr.. Arredondo has not disclosed
what his instructions are, but from
other sources it has been learned that
the commission plan was favored by
General Carranza and his advisers,
and would not be opposed by the state
department. A formal announcement
was expected soon whether the ques-
ton submitted to the commissioners
will follow the definition of matters
in dispute as laid down in Carranza's
latest note is not known. Although
Secretary Lansing's reply apparently
accepted that definition, it is believed
probable, however, that the whole sub
iect of international conditions in
Mexico, including the financial situa-
ton there, would be reviewed to some
extent with the possible result of some
more far-reaching plan being pro-
posed than one embracing border con-
ditions only.

BELIEVED GERM
OF PARALYSIS
IS isolated
New York Health Authori.
ties Optimistic Over
Situation.

New York, July 12.-While Health
Commissioner Emerson declined to-
night to discuss the report that a
New York physician has succeeded in
isolating the germ of infantiie paraly-
sis, great Importance was attached by
medical men to the meeting of ply d.
clans tomorrow night which will be
devoted to a discussion Of the disease
which has cost more than ESQ lives in
this city since the epidemic began.
Among the speakers will be DR.. Simon
FleXner of the Rockefeller foundation,
who is devoting his energies to a
study of infantile paralysis.
There was feeling of optimism in
the health department today, not on
ly because there were fewer cases re-
ported than yesterday, but also be-
cause no new areas were invaded.
During the "a hours preceding 10
o'clock this morning only II deaths
from the disease were reported in the
five boroughs of New York Uity.
There were 1862 new cases.
Warnings against panic in con-
nection with the epidemic of infantile
paralysis were issued today by Mayor
Mitchell and Health Commissioner
Emerson. The latter said the fatali-
ties from infantile paralysis had not
been as great as from other epidem-
les. He pointed out that in the last
epidemic of measles there were from
600 to- 900 cases a day, while the NOR
tally ranged from 90 to so per cent.
More lives were lost and permanent
injuries resulted from measles last
year than will ensue from this out
break of infantile paralysis, the ply
sian said. Pursuing the policy of
keeping the city clean, the food in
spectors of the health department an
nounced today that they have destroy
ed three and half tons of milk, fruit
lemonade and ice cream which were
either spoiled or kept in unsanitary
receptacles. Fifty soda water foun-
tains were disconnected because the
owners were using unclean glasses.
The spread of the disease is gener-
ally around the centers in South
Brooklyn and the lower east side Of
Manhattan, where the epidemic has
flourished since it's development early
in June.

Shark Eats Young Bather, and
Causes Death WOuld-be ReScuer

Matteawan, N. j., July 12.-Lester
Stilwell, IL years of age, was killed
by a man-eating shark while bathing
in an arm of Raritan bay, near here,
this afternoon.
Stanley S. Fisher, a. who went to
his aid, was so badly injured in a
struggle with the monster that he died
while being taken to hospital.
Joseph Dunn, aged IL, bathing some
distance away in the inlet, was at
tackled and one Of his legs will prob
ably have to be amputated.
, A dozen or more boys, also bathing
in the inlet, heard Stilwell's screams
for help. Fisher went to the rescue.
Pine Bluff daily graphic. (Pine Bluff, Ark.) 1893-1942, 1916-07-13

He had gone only a few feet when
the shark attacked him, tearing a
piece out Of one of his sides.
Despite his wounds, Fisher caught
the boy up in his arms and started for
shore, when the shark renewed the
attack. Burdened as he was, Fisher
was helpless, and the shark snapped
off his leg. Fisher released his hold
of Stilwell and himself sank I'M
conscious.
Needless to the danger, another boy
dragged Fisher out. No trace of
young Stilwell was found, and it is
believed he was devoured by the
sharks.

German Attacks on Verdun Continue
tnnbatpd in Violence. Causing the
French to BE EnieCbied South Of
the Sommc River.

London, July 12.--The Anglo
French offensive is maintaining itself
as vigorously as ever against the most
determined attacks which the Ger
mans are now delivering against the
front in Northern France.
There is no doubt that the Germans
lave forced the French to be en-
icebled greatly south of the Somme
because of the number of troops need
ed in the defense of Verdun against
the forces of the German crown
prince.
The fact that the allies are pro-
crossing methodically against German
attacks gives the people of the Brit
ish and French nations the greatest
satisfaction.
No sensational events on the front
in Northern France were announced
today, but General Haig, in a brief
bulletin tonight, announced the re-
cQvery by the British of all ground
lost Yesterday in the Mametz woods.
The British commander tells also Of
the repuse of two heavy German at
lacks against CONTAMINATION, and OF
steady progress by his forces in the
Trones woods. where heavy and des-
perate fighting has ragged during the
past few days.
From General Haig's bulletin it is
evident the British are driving stead
ily toward the ridge commanding the
Nontauhane sector.
German Flank Exposed.
Tho contIIra of Cont 1m9iSOn n9rtS
Of Mametz and Trones woods, gives
! the British line running almost due
east and west, so that the Germans
to the north can be attacked on the
flank when the guns are brought up
for the second phase of the operations.
South of the river the French are
in position somewhat similar to the
British and likewise can attack the
German flank, south of Belloy and
Estrees.
For the moment, however, the two
armies are engaged in preparing their
new positions.
Meanwhile the Germans, renewing
the attacks OH Verdun, have captured
Damloup battery, which they held for
time at the beginning of June. This
position is the point farthest from
'Verdun in the French line of defense,
so that its loss is not taken seriously
by the French command.
RussiOns Continue Advancing.
On the Russian front, the battle
continues along the Stokhod with the
same determination. The Germans
are reported to be bringing up all
possible reinforcements and guns in
an endeavor to save Kovel, against
which the Russians are advancing
along the railway line.
The Russians are engaged in heavy
battles in the extreme northwestern
corner of Bukowina, where they are
inflicting further defeats on the army
of General Pflanzer now cut off. from
General Won Bothmer's forces to the
north and also along the Stokhod
river, where the Austrians and Ger
mans are putting up formidable re-
sstance. The Stokhod is shallow
river, but marshes on either side i'm
pede movements of troops and guns.
Across the river fighting is in
progress near Svidniki, while to the
southeast another force is advancing
on Kovel

Held to Be Merchantmen.

Washington, July 12.-Although
state department officials virtually
are convinced the German submarine
Deutschland is strictly a merchant
vessel the advice of neutrality board
probably will be sought before a final
ruling is made.
Acting Secretary Polk indicated
today the ruling would be announced
tomorrow It is understood there is
nothing lacking to establish her status
as peaceful merchant man and he
desires to consult the neutrality
board only in order to give added
weight to the departments ruling.
The allies embassies added nothing
today to the repre sensations they
have made that the Deutschland is a
potential warship.
Information is said to have been
received indicating the Deutschland
was conveyed from Bremen almost to
the American coast by neutral
merchantmen. which aided her in
GLIDING detection by enemy warships.
This information may be communicate
ed later to the state department ana
an investigation requested.
