MYSTERIOUS FIRE
 DESTROYS SCHOOL REEVES BUILDING BURNS
Loss $1,200, Insurance $500, in Sum- day Morning Blaze Two Miles
 West of Conway.

Fire of unknown origin destroyed the building and equipment of the Reeves school, in District No. 49, two miles west of Conway, Sunday morn ing at 8 o'clock. The loss is estimated at $1 200, partially covered by $500 in surance.
 The building had not been in use since school was dismissed Friday aft ernoon, and no fire had been in it for several months. Owing to the fact that there had been some dissension in the district over the management of the school recently, it was at first sus- pected that the fire was of incendiary origin. Constable Bob King was call ed for and took his dogs to the scene of the fire at once, but the dogs failed to strike trail. The incendiary the ory is not now generally believed and t thought possible that some campers spent the night in the building and that their earelessness was responsible for the fire
 Nothing was saved from the inte- rior of the building and many of the children lost their books The build ing was a good one and was remodeled only last fall, primary room being added
 The school was in charge of Prof. W. N. Warren and Miss Lotte Webb. Sessions were resumed this morning in tent, under which Dr. J. J. Steph- ems and Rev. L. M. Sipes are conduct ing revival meeting. The tent will be used until the meeting closes, after which school will be continued in the Reeves Baptist church.
 The district was organized two years ago as special district. The directors are Robert Thompson, w. A. Webb, R. E. Hubbard, Jason Wilson, Riley Watkins and G. H. Noise. They are holding a meeting this afternoon to discuss plans for rebuilding, and it is thought work on new building will be started as soon as possible.

Parish of Little Rock, formerly of this city, made an address on the prohibition question, followed by short talks by Rev. J. w. Boyer and J. B. Parker Another meeting will be held next Sunday at p. m. at the Pres byterian church, when a permanent organization will be perfected.
 The interesting fact was brought out at the meeting that the plan of county organization originated in Faulkner county four years ago, when the statewide bill was submitted, has been adopted by the Arkansas Anti Saloon League for the entire state. This plan involves the formation of a county organization, with a subsidiary organization in each township and a house-to-housc canvass of the entire county for the purpose of obtaining written pledges from the voters.
 The result cf the campaign of 1912 was that Faulkner county returned a larger majority for the prohibition act than any other county in the state, voting more than three to one for the measure, which, however, was de- feated in the state at large.

CRISIS IS MAR IN
 RAILROAD STRIKE
WILSON FOR ARBITRATION
Says Plan Must Be Evolved to Pre- vent Recurrence of Present Condi-
 ions-Manufaeturers Intercede

Washington, Aug. 21.-Following a week of conferences between Pres ident Wilson and railroad executives and employees, who are threatening a nationwide strike, crisis in the situation is expected in few days. Officials if western roads summoned to Washington are expected to ar rive today.
 While the negotiations took no ac- tual forward step Sunday, the presi- dent replied indirectly to contentious of the railroad officials that the prin- ciple of arbitration would be endan- gered by his plan for putting the eight-hour basic day into effec; while a commission investigates it's practicability and passes upon other points at issue. In a telegram made public at the White House the pres ident declared he holds firmly to ar bitration as principle and that his plan strengthens rather than weak ems it. He also said that some means must be found to prevent the existing situation from ever arising again.
 Meantime the road officials contin- ued conferences among themselves The labor leaders marked time, i awaiting a definite decision from the employers.
 The presidents telegram defending his plan was in reply to an appeal

from George Pope, president of the National Association of Manufactur- CTS, urging that the principle of ar filtration be preserved in the strike negotiations.
 President Wilson made no engage ments for tomorrow, in order to be ready to continue negotiations, but it is thought probable that there will he no further conferences until Tues day.
 It is saiA thet counter-proposal to the presidents plan is under con- sideration by the railroad executives. It is said to include arbitration of at least some of the points at issue, with the granting Of others.
 In the meantime several telegrams urging the president to insist on ar bitration arrived at the White House. Administration officials said the telegrams would have no effect on the president, since he had tried to bring about arbitration and had failed and had no way of forcing it.

was two years ago and I gave you a
testimonial at that time, stating what
your medicine had accomplished in my
case. At at~time my friends told me
that the cure would only be temporary,
and that as soon as the effects of the
medicine had worn away, I would be as
badly off as ever. Today 1 want to YER

that time to this I have never had a re-
currence of my old trouble. where my

dose, and in a very short time my pains

could eat a hearty meal and get a good
nights sleep. During these past two
years I have recommended Plant Juice
to hundreds Of my former comrades, and

Special to The Washington Herald
New York, Sept. H.-Tapping keg Of
beer is a lost art on Broadway. This sad
truth was revealed yesterday afternoon.
when the porter disappeared from his post
of duty in the cellar of the Lyric Hotel
The transient and steady trade ran
from the cafe into the street when a
geyser of beer from a keg on the bar
spouted upward as high as the ceiling and
threantened to engulf the place.
The bartenders were striving valiantly
to find some means of stopping the great
torrent of beer that gushed from the
stricken keg, but all the wild schemes and
suggestions shouted by the fleeing Gus
toners had no effect. and soon those
brave boys were compelled to desert the
pumps, which refused to work.
Get the vent! In heavens name will
some one volunteer to get the vent!'
roared James O'Donnell, one of the pro-
prietors, hoarse with emotion.
Aye. aye, sir" beloved Henry Hook
heimer, head waiter, who understood the
order to mean lower the transom and
let in some ventilation" as he explained
afterward.
All the trouble was traced to the por-
ter. who could not be found until the
Niagara Of beer had spent its force and
the dried foam gave forth a stale odOr
Of hops, which filled the air to a strata
as high as the Times Building.
