Cotton Exchange
 Moves Its Offices

The Pine Bluff Cotton exchange will tomorrow remove from the quarters on the second floor of the Citizens bank building to the first floor of the building at Second and Chestnut. The Davis Floral company which has occupied this apartment for several years, has removed to 115 West Sixth.
 With the removal of the Cotton ex- change to the Second and Chestnut building, and the occupation of the upper stories of this and the two buildings adjoining on the west the concentration of those handling and dealing in cotton will be almost com- plete, and this block will truly be a cotton center.
 Manager James P. Daly of the Pine Bluff Warehouse and Compress com pany expects to occupy the new suite in the cotton center this week, and the St. Louis Compress company also expects to get into it's offices there within a few days. Several buyers and cotton exporting firms already are in the new quarters.

URGES SENATE
 TO REJECT NEW
 ARMY MEASURE
Chamberlain Proposes Unusual Procedure and Arraigns
 Officers.
GIVES ARMY CONTROL
 TO ONE MAN, HE SAYS
Oregon Senator Declares Plan is "Militarism Run Mad," and Proposes Framing of En-
 tirely New Bill.

Washington, Sept. 13.-Character- izing the administration army reor- ganization bill, proposing regular force of 5O0,0O0 men, as "militarism run mad" Senator Chamberlain, democrat, Oregon, has submitted to the senate military committee, of which he was formerly chairman, an analytical and explanatory state ment," proposing that the measure be rejected entirely and congress pre- pare new bill.
 The procedure is somewhat unusual and the arraignment of the general staff officers who drew up the ad- ministration plan is marked.
 "Nearly all of the control hereto fore exercised by congress over the army" the senator declares at one point, "is to be transferred theoreti- callv to the president, but practically to the chief of staff. However, con- gress is still permitted to foot the bills"
 The spirit shown by the framers of the act, he charged throughout, is one of consuming desire for despotic, unrestricted power-"militarism run mad"

MILLIONS LOST
 IN BIC OIL FIRE
 NEAR NEW YORK
Standards Long Island City Plant is Wrapped in
 Flames.
SCORES TRAMPLED
 BY FLEEING CROWDS
Blazing Oil. Running in Small Rivers. Spreads Destruction at Many P0ints-Several Reported
 Killed.

New York, Sept l3-The Stone and Fleming works of the Standard Oil Co.,, covering twenty acres in Long Island City, tonight were wrapped in flames, which, after causing damage estimated as reaching into the mil lions, swept on despite the effort of a dozen fire boats and nearly two score engine companies to check them. Many thousand gallons of oil were consumed.
 The blaze started shortly after 2 p. m.. following an explosion in one of the tanks, believed to have been caused by spontaneous combustion.
 Frantic efforts to check the flames during the afternoon failed and to- ward sunset anxiety began to be felt for the Platt Works of the Standard Oil Co.,, on the opposite bank of New town Creek, on which the Stone and Fleming plant is located. Lumber yards in the vicinity and plants in which large quantit0 of alcohol and naphtha are stored Also were threat ened.
 Although no one was reported killed up to late hour tonight, more than a score of persons were trampled under foot when back draught, sweeping the flames hundreds of feet into the air, caused crowd of many thousands, gathered on the opposite shore of the creek, to flee for safety.
 As the flames spread from tank to tank, until 8 o'clock, fifty were ablaze there were several explosions which caused uneasiness to spread among spectators. Fearing more serious burst, they would scamper away, only to return again later and watch the flames sweep onward.
 1 Each tank contained many thousand | gallons of oil when the fire started, but plant employees immediately put 1 into operation an emergency under ground pipe system and began draw ing off the oil to other Standard Oil plants in the vicinity.
 Blazing oil overflowed, however, from some tanks and ran along the ground spreading destruction. Some spread along the surface of the creek, but soon burned itself out.
 So intense was the heat that oc- cupants of factories near the works and families in tenement houses a short distance away fled, some car rying with them belongings.
 Shortly before 10 o'clock the flames spread to the main building of the Columbia Distilling company's plant, on the same side of the creek as the Stone and Fleming works, and the alcohol stored there burned with a roar. Blazing oil also spread across the creek, threatening the Platt works. Three men on one fire boat were re- ported killed.

The marriage tomorrow morning at St. Joseph's church of Captain John P. Harvis, U. s. Marine corps, and Miss Augusts May Lehnert, APO West Eighth, will mark the culmi- nation of romance extending over several years, and the high point in the story of the career of man who made remarkably successful fight against circumstances and who won.
 Captain Harvis is native of Pine Bluff, and he and Mis- Lehnert were firm friends throughout their childhood, and grew up close com panions in their youth. Jarvis be- came an apprentice to the printers trade, and later became a printer But about this time, his health be- gan to fail, and in search of a new lease on life, he left Pine Bluff. The Marine Corps suggested an opportunity, and he joined that or ganization as an enlisted man. That was thirteen years ago. During the years which intervened from the time he first left Pine Bluff, and the time he returned here to claim Miss Lehnert his bride, he visited Pine Bluff several times, and on eacE
 visit, renewed his friendship with the girl of his boyhood.
 Mastering the soldiers trade a! he had mastered the printers trad' he became highly efficient, ant

 reward for his services at the front,
 he was promoted to the rank of a

 however, the deep friendship which had been growing thru the years, blossomed into love, and Miss Le- Inert and the marine officer became engaged to be married. The two years overseas were long one to the officer, and doubly long, and fraught with anxiety to the girl.
 Then came the morning of Mo-
 vember II, 1918 and from Belgium
 far down into Lorraine and to the foot hills of the Alps the firing ceased. For Captain Harvis and Miss Lehnert the days that came
 between that crisp November morn ing in France and the sultry days | of September when came back to

 days of all time. It was long, long wait and although Harvis was
 coming as fast as boat, train and

WATER IN THE STREETS
 OF GALVESTON REPORTED
Rice Crop in Louisiana Said To Be Worth S50,000,0O is
 Endangered By
 Hurricane.

New Orleans, La, Sept. l3.-Al- though the tropical hurrlcane, which first made it's presence known nearly week ago in the Bahamas, touched the coast of Louisiana today, observ- CTS at the New Orleans district weath- CT bureau tonight could only say that , land and that the area to feel the effects of the storm might include the entire Gulf coast.
 Coupled with the admission by bur eau experts that the storm was apparently one of the greatest in area in weather bureau history, came an order tonight to extend storm warnings from Vclasco to Browns vile, Texas. Probable gales and ris- ing tides were forecast. Rising barometers at various west tern Gulf coast cities earlier today seemed to indicate the storm would not make it's presence felt there. But the hurricane, according to the weath- CT bureau experts, apparently was upsetting calculations based on baro- metric readings as well as ordinary observations.
 "The area probably is 800 miles, District Forecaster Cline stated to. night. ''The entire Gulf coast is in it's l path"
 Early reports from Burrwood near the mouth of the Mississippi, re- ported the halyards at the weather bureau there demolished by the winc which reached velocity of 52 miles 1 at II o'clock this morning.
 A 50-mile gale was reported blow. ing tonight at Rockport, near tie central portion of the Louisiana Gull coast.
 Gas fields in the vicinity of Houma 1 Louisiana's natural gas section, were reported under water, but the extent of the damage was not estimated.
 At Burrwood, where a 52-mile wind destroyed a section of the weather bureaus observation paraphernalis today, the wind tonight had died dowr to 42 miles.
 The greatest fear of the Southwes Louisiana and local firms interested in that section was for the 1919 rict crop, estimated to be worth iron S50,00O,000 to $55,000,000 and o1 which IA per cent is in such shape q! to be facing destruction.
