MAYORS MEET ON
 GAS SITUATION
In Little Rock Yesterday; Federal Fuel Administrator Appealed to For Geologist to Investigate Gas Supply.

Mayor Simon Bloom returned last night from Little Rock where he at tended the mayors meeting called for the purpose of Investigating the gas problem. The meeting was composed of mayors from the cities of the state which have been effected by the shortage of gas. The conference was <caled at the invitation of Mayor Tay- Tor, of Little Rock, and included the mayors of Pine Bluff, North Little Rock, Hot Springs, Gurdon, Prescott, Benton, Philadelphia and others. Ala ermen Vance and Mcbride accompan- jed Mayor Bloom.
 A permanent organization was effected with the following officers elected Mayor Charles Taylor of Lit tie Rock, president Mayors Simon Bloom, of Pine Bluff. and J. w. Me- Clendon, of Hot Springs, vice presi- dents; and Ashby Loveiace, managing editor of the Arkansas Democrat, sec retary
 Representative of the Arkansas Natural Gas Company, and the Little Rock Gas and Fuel Company were at the meeting. Each made statements. "All of the mayors and other city representatives agreed that some thing should be done" said Mayor Bloom last night. Among other sug- gestions was one that the gas com pany should lay it's line along the en- bankments of and over the trestle of the railroads, thus avoiding the over- flow of the river.
 'Just before adjourning," he con- tinued, "there was a resolution pass/ ed, which provided for request being sent to the Senators and Repres- entatives from Arkansas asking them to call on the fuel administration and request that a geologist be sent to make survey of the gas condition of the fields which supply the Arkansas Gas Company with fuel"
 Taylor Questions.
 Mayor Taylor quizzed the officials of the gas company regarding certain features of the situation.
 Mayor Taylor; 'Do you keep re- serve stock of materials?"
 Mir. Munce: "We keep reserve at various points along the line" Dr. Workman: "You mean to say that it wouldn't be feasible to follow the railroads in the overflow district! The railroads seem to be able to op- crate successfully in spite of the over- flow"
 ..Mr. Munce: "It would be tremen- dously expensive to reconstruct the pipe line."
 Dr. Workman: "I mean only in the overflow district"
 Mayor Boyett of Hope: "Wouldn't it be feasible to establish fl, storage tanks?" @4 ~@%e. Mir. Munce: "A tank holding 3.0O0.. GOO feet alone would cost $3O0,000 foj the tank alone"
 Alderman Hyten of Benton said he believed the people would be willing to pay more for their gas if they could get better service.
 Dr. Dicken: 'Is there any appre- ciable depreciation in the pipe liner" Mir. Munce said there was depre- citation due to the action of chemicals.

 ARREST REFUGEES
from Louisiana Charged With Mur- der of Planter Near Opalusas: Off. cer Here for Prisoners.

Four negroes, Elias Johnson and Anne Johnson, brothers and Jake Will ilams and Tommy Williams, brothers were arrested Sunday night at Fair 1leid, charged with murder of M. M. Mllton, prominent planter at Opalu. sas, La. The arrest was made by Con- stable Brannon and Deputy Constable Mann, assisted by Sheriff Arth,1 Grant, of Monroe, La. Victor Boyd. former member of the police force, now manager 'of the Sam Knox plan tatlon was the main factor in the apprehension.
 The murder which the negroes are alleged to have committed occurred about two weeks ago. Victor Boyd. who has been an expert in criminal detection, became aware of the pres ence of the four negroes on the place, and being an adept at sizing up par ties who are offenders, suspected the negroes and offered them job, mean while keeping close watch of them. He then got in communication witY Chief of Police Frank Stewart. When Sheriff Grant, of Monroe, La., ar rived here Sunday, Chief Stewart told him: II know where your negroes are"
 MT. Boyd was sent for, and with Constable Brannon and Deputy Constable Mann, and Sheriff Grant, he went to the place at Fairfield where the; negroes were.
 The cabin in which the negroes were hiding was surrounding by the off cers, while MT. Boyd went to the door to barley with the owner of the cabin. The negro was adamant at first, but a little moral persuasion, aided by a Colt persuader, soon convinced the negro, and the fugitives were sent forth to be taken in custody by the officers.
 Crime a Horrible One.
 The murder which the negroes are alleged to have committed is consid- cred one of the most cold-blooded and horrible killings which has ever taken place in Ouachita county, ac- cording to Sheriff Grant. Milton's body had been riddled with buck shot, and cut to ribbons with knives when it was found. It is said that Milton had had trouble with the negroes over a division of the crops.
 The four negroes denied the killing, but admitted having been living on the Milton place at the time of the kill ing, and admitted being connected with some shooting, but stated that some one else did the killing. A re- ward of $2OO offered by Sheriff Grant will be divided between Consta- ble Brannon, Deputy Mann, and MT. Boyd.
