 Child 2 Years Old. Special to the News.

.DeQueen, Aug S.-The most attro- cious crime ever committed Ill SeVler county in recent years was committed Wednesday morning at Il o'clock when an unknown black field attacked and assaulted a little white seven-year-old girl three miles southwest of De> Queen. The perpetrator of the crime was still at large Friday at noon, \though officials are searching the en> tire countryside as well as neighborin9 counties.
 The little 7-year-old girl was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Collie kinard who lives on what is known as the Dogtown road, three miles southwest of DeQueen, was going from her home to the home of neighbor about Il o'clock Wednesday when she was at tackled by strange negro, who threat ened to cut her throat, and carried her about 200 yards into the woods where he assaulted her. On recovering she fled screaming home and gave the alarm. The negro fled, but was seen near the scene by other parties. He is described as a young black negro about 5a feet tall, weight 165 or l|o hounds and wearing a blue coats ana pants.
 Sheriff Thomas was nOtlned anu went at once in search of the negro. Rumors that the negro had been cap> fured at or near Haworth Thursday night are not credited in DeQueen. Ao- vices here are that he has not been captured. Naturally the people here are wrought up over the horror of the unspeakable crime.

ALL RAILROAD UNIONS
 JOIN THE WAGE DEfAAND
Insist That They Must Have More Pay at Once; Is an Ultimatum.
 IA Acting as One Body.

Washington, Aug. 6-Acting as unit for the first time in the pre- sentation of wage demands, the 14 principal railroad unions today in ex pressing to Director General Hines their disapproval of President Will sons proposal that Congress create a commission to consider increased pay, declared that wage questions must be settled immediately
 general program to meet the pre- sent crisis was submitted to the dir ector general It suggested that the money to provide increased pay should come from an appropriation by Con- gross to be followed by advances. This temporary relief must be ac- companied by a determined effort to reduce the cost of living.
 Permanent solution of the railroad problem was declared to depend upon the removal of returns to capital as the sole purpose of operation and the director general was asked to recom- mend to President Wilson that he at tempted to obtain early passage by Congress of organized labor's bill to eliminate private capital from control of the railroads and to give the em- , ployes a share in the profits. The un- ions declared the belief of the work, CTS that transportation rates should be sufficient to guarantee gast wages maintain the properties and give equitable returns on money invested
 United Against Significant.
 Interesting as were the suggestions : for removing the menace of nation 1 wide strike, the unified action ot the IA organizations attracted equal at ; tention. Labor leaders who were questioned declined to say whether the unions would act as whole 1T the future, but declared they were going through with the present situa tion as one body. The result will b' 1 to put the solid weight of 2,OOO,0O' persons, practically the entire raj transportation personnel of the Unit ed States, back of the demands, witt I the possibility, as never before, of tht 1 paralysis of the nations life if gen eral strike should ensue
 ! Cooperation between the four great brotherhoods,-engineers, firemen, con conductors and trainmen--for the first time, several years ago, presented the power of united action in passage oi the Adamson act.
 The present situation was said to be similar but infinitely more dan gerous. Not only are the four broth erhoods involved, but all the other , unions also which have to deal with maintenance of equipment and the moving of trains.

Embargo Order Received Here Is Now in Effect
 on all the Roads

1 Embargoes which will effect thi shipments of freight to Ashdown anC from this city to various points in the 1 United States, for the present, not ma terially but if the general railroad strike grows to a considerable ex' tent, went into effect on all yoadroad lines entering Ashdown this week The first embargo here affected the shipment on the Frisco and this was followed by the Kansas City South ern and the M, D. and G. The Kan sas City Southern and the M. D. ana G. will accept shipments not going farther than their lines, but the Frisco i will not accept any shipments.
 Railroad agants stated that local business men would probably have trouble in getting stock of goods, sup> plies, etc, within the next few weeks, unless these shipments are on the lin. es. There will also in all probability be delays in the shipment of goods al- ready in transit. If the strike of rail- road shopmen throughout the United States become general and is continu- ed for any length of time, it will be of far-reaching consequences for the business men of Ashdown, on account of a possible inability to get freight shipments to this point.
 Although a, general tie-up will mat erially affect the business interests of AshdOwn and the surrounding towns. it is stated that there is suf- ficient quantity of food stuffs available here now to tide over the community for a considerable period of time in case of nationwide strike is called. It is the belief of business men that all stocks of goods will outlive any gem eral strike, in fact, it is stated that possibly a strike would not materially affect any line of business here, as all business houses are pretty we'll stock ed up, but of course, it will call foi conservative handling of goods.
 Stocks are uneven and there is a greater supply of some commodities than of others, but it is the general opinion that no one will go hungry and also that there will be plenty of clothing and other materials to meet even a great emergency. This appli- es largely to staple groceries and can ned goods. Meat stocks, according to wholesale men, are sufficient for some time,
