 NATIONAL BODY
Will Not Quit Work Until Official National Asso-
 citation Makes Inquiry.

Officials of the Pine Bluff company and the committee from the local branch of the Amalgamated Associa- tion of Street Railway Employees of America, Division No. 2, had nothing to say regarding the demand made by the latter for an increase of three cents an hour in their pay. Yesterday was the day set by the carmen for the company to make it's reply to the communication from the committee appointed by the branch, but no announcement was made. Some of the. street car men said the com pany said it would be impossible to grant the increases.
 It is further stated that the men would not walk out until / iter a rep resentative from the natN Aal organiz- ation had made care4ul investiga- tion for the purpose of determining just what action shall be taken.
 It is probable that the man is in the city at this time and may be pre- pared to make his report by wire to the National branch.
 On September 13, D. l.. Mckinney, Little Rock, deputy labor commission CT, offered the services of the de partment to Mayor simon Bloom, to avoid a walk-out, but there has been no report of any further action in the premises i

U. $. Not Concerned.

Washington, Sept 22.-There will be no more discussion or peace at this time by the United States and the entente allies unless it is forced by fresh appeal from the pope. This was clearly indicated both at the state department and by allied dp- lomats today after publication of the unofficial text of the replies from Germany and Austria-Hungary. There was nothing unexpected in either response, altho the Austrian note aroused some interest because of it's apparent sincerity.
 Officials believe that heartened by the replies of the central powers, the pope will make fresh attempt to bring the belligerents together. if he does, it was indicated that while his note would receive courteous con- sideration, it would strike no re. sponsive chord, so far as the United States is concerned, unlesss addressed directly to the points involved in President Wilson's reply to the first communication from the vatican.

 The vote this afternoon on the first of the twenty-one counts was suffi- cient to convict. A two-thirds vote was necessary The ballot was 27 to 4 in favor of sustaining the charge.

 For two hours he faced the senate high court and throng of specta- tors and pleaded for acquittal. He was accorded absolute quiet. Men long conversant with state events said the most dramatic episode in the history of Texas was being enacted.

lte. In this pie

Buenos Aires, Sept 22.-The Argen- tine government has sent an ultima tum to Germany. In it's note the government demands formal state ment from the German government of it's attitude toward it's minister Count von LuXburg, and a repetition of it's promises made respecting Ar genuine shipping, inconnection with the Toro settlement.
 The Argentine government has re- ceived no explanation from Berlin since disclosures by the American secretary of state, except a verbal statement from an under secretary of the German foreign Office, made thru Dr. Molina, the Argentine minister to Berlin, which Argentine considers insufficient.
 The Argentine minister made statement in the chamber of deputies today regarding the, situation, and it was understood that the radicals had prepared resolution which they intended to introduce, declaring state of war already exists with Ger many.
 The government is anXiously await ing response before deciding on a rupture of relations or a declaration of war, and, according to the foreign office, if the German governments reported appreciation of Count von Luxburg is confirmed, Argentine will consider it an insult and will declare war immediately.

ORIGIN OF MILITARY SALUTE.

Washington, Sept. 22.-The mill tary salute had curious origin, if the tradition brought to light by United States Marine corps officers at their headquarters here may be be- lieved. The navy soldiers say that the salute originated in the days of the tournament, at which a queen of beauty was chosen to preside. The knights and their esquires and all who took part in the tourney, on presenting themselves before the queen, lifted each one hand level with the brows as though dazzled by the light of her presence.
 Although it's significance has been forgotten that same salute is now used by military men in recognition of a superior rank; the marine officers say.

NEW COUNCIL Is TRYING To.

tracted with the old council to con-
struet the plant. using his machinery

per cent of the cost price. This he
estimated. all told, would be approx
imately $4,000.

up TO him Mr.. O'Neal objected to the
plan of advertising for bids, claim
Ing he had a contract for eonstruc-
ton of same and that announcement
Of same had been made through
newspapers and trade journals.
However, when Mayor Todd read a
letter from him in which he proposed
to superintend the construction work
for Z II per cent of the cost price,
and allow the city to receive bids for
the work. he agreed to live up to
the terms of the letter and agreed to
prepare plans and specifications for
the work
Mr.. O'Neal stated that practically
all the material has been bought for
the Job, and in advertising for bids
this fact will be made known. The
city attorney was instructed to aet
with Mr.. O'Neal in preparing plans
and specifications.
It is the plan of the council to
have the contractor who gets the job
make bond for completion of the
work in first class style.
