TALK TO BANKERS
k. E. Waite of State Bank Association . Talks on Banking.

R. .E. Waite, secretary of the State Bankers Association, spoke to the bank officials and employees in the city Monday night. The speaking was held in the directors room of the First National bank. It is generally suppos- ed that when bankers talk to bankers the subject would be money, but not so on this occasion. MT. Waite talks of things more important in banking that strong vaults and heaps of money, the human elements. His remarks were divided separately to the stock holders, the directors, the executives, the assistant cashiers and teller and the clerks. Also the Janitor and his part in the success of the institution came in for share. The great fifth element, the public, and the various points of contact between the bank and that public was amplified. MT. Waite spreads the gospel of good cheer, inspires his colaboraters with a new insight into their work and the part that it plays in the life of the country He stressed the importance of4the cheery word, the appreciation of each other and the public. Kh6 smile that counts so much in the days work Human elements is a. subject that should not only be interesting to bank people, but to busy people everywhere

NEGROES DENY CHARGES
Texarkana Residents Say They Are
 Not Arming Themselves.

Teyarkana, Aug. 4.--Severa' leading negroes of the community held meet meeting Saturday afternoon and adop- ted resolutions declaring that the re- port which has gained general circu- latiOn that negroes here are arming themselves and organizing for the pur- pose of precipating race riot "has absolutely no foundation in fact, and that the colored people are going quietly about their business rather seeking to avoid trouble than to start it, and that we believe these rumors have sprung from some irresponsible party or parties who have for their aim and purpose the destruction of peace and harmony between the two races" The resolution further says, We hereby assure the citizens that we shall put forth our best efforts to con- tinue the good relations that exists between the two races in this city"
 Despite these resolutions, some of the local officers are bit skeptical. They say that about two weeks ago. when a visiting negress from Indiano- polls was arrested for gross insolence and insulting conduct toward white women on the street car. that her champions in court at her trial were the same Heading colored citizens who signed the resolutions at Satur- days meetings. They also signed her bond for appeal to the higher court after she had been fined.

OUT OF ICE AGAIN
Local Ice Plant Breaks Down as Usual
 and the Public Suffers.

The usual break down at the Com monwealth Public Service plant has occurred, and the public is out of ice Last week an engine gave way and power has been furnished for the city it is said, with crippled engine. Ice has been scarce for several days and Tuesday there was no ice to be had and with poor prospects of being relieved for several days, or at least until the local ice dealer can get a shipment in from Texarkana. The ice t,iat the company have been making resembles snow very much, but still it is cooling to a certain extent.

Officials Predict Railroad Schedules Will Be Seriously Cripped; The Steel Mills and FactOres May
 Strike With Others.
Other Unions May Strike
 With the Railroad Men

Chicago, Aug. 3.-A complete tie-up of the railroads of the country was very probable in the opinion of M l.. Hawver, president of the Chicago dis trict council of the Federated Railway Shopmen's Union, which called strike of shop crafts Friday He re- turned from Washington today and declared the strike is spreading rap- idly and has overwhelmed the inter- national officers.
 Advices today from Cleveland were that the Executive Board of the American Federation of Railway Work chiefly unskilled labor in Clevland and the East, had decided to strike to- morrow, according to MT. Hawver.
 The maintenance of way mems un- ion also is preparing to strike it was said. With more than 250000 shop men on strike and the number in Secretary John D. Saunders declared railroad schedules and industry would be seriously crippled within day or two. Already steel mills and other in- dustries at Gary and other northern Indiana points and in Chicago have begun to feel the effects of the strike and when the strike is more complete factories and mills will virtually be forced to close down
 Spreading Like Wildfire.
 This movement is spreading like Wildfire and we are not going to lay down until we get our demands" said president Hawver. Tt has not receiv- ed the indorsement of our grand lodge presidents, although they now are get ting ready for strike August "A. "The seriousness of the situation seems to be better understood in the East than out here although I did not realize the extent of the shop mems strike until I had returned here and seen the reports that had been received"
