THE FLOOD SITUA-
 TON AT CLARENDON
Trains Began Running Sum- day. Water Levees Cut and Water Draining Out of Town. Every
 body Busy at
 Sister City

Notwithstanding that the high waters of White River are fall ing very slowly Clarendon is be- ginning to be itself again after an ugly flood that has cost the Clarendon people fully S100, 900 loss if not more.
 The first train thro' Clarendon was on Sunday when the Cotton Belt resumed it's regular sche- dule. Passengers were forced to travel by boat from the depot to any part of the town.
 It is thought that the water will be off of gravel street sufi- ciently for traffic to be resumed today.
 The people of Clarendon are very appreciative of the kind services of the Brinkley people and Sheriff Milwee requests that the ARGUS say to the Brinkley people that their efforts and val uable service rendered by the Brinkley people will not soon be forgotten by the people of Clar- endon.
 The water had receeded suffi- ciently for H. E. Lynch, the furniture and hardware man, to begin cleaning his store. It is estimated that MT. Lynch is possibly the heaviest individual looser in Clarendon and that his loss alone will foot up around the $10, GOO mark.

Engine Room of Norwegian Oil
Tanker Wrecked at Brooklyn
Dock-Ten Rescued, Seven Sc.
riously Injured
BELIEVE 10000 FOOT
GAS TANK WAS BLOWN UP
Pumping Ship Dry Before At
tempting to Recover Other
BOdies-Vessel Was to Take
Cargo to France

New York, Jan. 3.-One man Is dead
AS result of an explosion which
wrecked the engine room Of the Norwe-
gian oil tank steamer Aztec at
Brooklyn dock today. The dead man
was a fireman on the vessel. and five
of the missing were members Of the
crew. The other six Were employed on
the dock. Seven were injured three of
them seriously.
Most of the victims were trapped
below decks. and those who were not
instantly killed were drowned in the
water which flooded the engine room
through q great hole blown in the side
Of the ship.
Possible Cause
The ship had just left a drydock and
the cause of the explosion is unknown,
although it is believed to have been
caused by the bursting of a tank Of
10000 cubic feet of gas which was used
in connection with the Oil fuel for the
engines
For hours after the explosion oc-
Cured city fremen worked desperately,
but futilely to recover the bodies Of
the victims. AS it seemed certain that
none Of those who were below at the
time could have escaped with their
lives it was decided to pump the ship
dry before renewing attempts to reach
the bodies.
Most of the injured were rescued hy
capt. y. F. Bennett of the tug Dalzel-
line which was steaming down the riv-
er near the dock at the time Of the ex-
plosion. Capt. Bennett said he saw the
body Of man hurled into the air, fol-
lowed by flame which shot so feet
high, accompanied by terrific explo-
sion. The body fell in the river and
sank. Capt. Bennett at once steamed
under the stern of the Aztec and took
off eight Of the crew all of whom were
badly injured. The body of another
man, fireman. was blown onto the
deck of the Roselands, steamer
which was anchored about 80 feet
away.
The Aztec was under charter to the
Inter- Ocean Transport Co. of this city.
1t recently returned from France, and
went into drydock on Dec "a. The
ship was to have sailed for Philadel-
phia this week to take on a cargo for
return trip to France.

Washington. Jan. 3.-Diplomatic
representatives here Of the Latin
American republics and chairmen of
Scientific Congress met today with
Chilean Ambassador Suarez Mujica,
president Of the congress. as chair
man, to discuss means for co-ordinat-
ing the work of the organization
Their recorded work was the selec-
ton of an executive committee and a
resolution providing for the preserva-
ton of papers read before the con-
gress, but informally there was free
expression of satisfaction of the
progress being made toward a greater
Pan American unity. Speakers before
the numerous divisions and sub-divis-
ions TO the congress today included
Former Secretary Bryan, John Bas-
sett Moore, Alberto Santos Dumont,
the Brazilian aeronaut, and George E.
Roberts of New York
Mr.. Bryan in his address endorsed
the recent suggestion by Secretary
Lansing that an agreement be entered
into between the American REPUBLICS
for the settlement of boundary dis
putes and the prohibition of the ship
ment of arms to revOlutionists. Hearty
applause from all parts Of the hall
greeted the reference. Mr. Bryan also
expressed hope that the pending
treaty by which the United States
would pay Colombia 100000 for
the partition of the country would be
ratified thus enabling Colombia to
join the nations signatory to peace
treaties that would make wars be-
tween Pan-American countries next to
impossible. 49,

ment counsel in summing up the test
mony before the Jury today as men VINO
had regarded the law "as a trifie," when
il stood in the way of their alleged
design to monopolize the transportation
traffic of New England. They were
charged with having broken falth with
the authorities Of Massachusetts ana
with the New Haven stockholders, with
having bought up competition with .
reckless disregard for the consequences,
with stock watering, deceit and conceal
ment.
Attorneys Swacker. Stevenson and Os-
borne took turns in their Remuneration of
the methods used by the New Haven.
Mr. Osborne pictured the late j. +.
Morgan as the man who conceived the
alleged plan to dominate the trafflc of
New England. He compared the New
Haven to the Northern Securities Co. the
holding company for the Northern Paci-
fic and Great Northern railroads. which
was dissolved by decree of the United
States Supreme court.
"It was the brain Of that great man
Morgan that conceived the plan for the
formation of the Northern Securities
