ORDER TO
 HOLD FREIGHT CARS
 EAST OF THE RIVER
30 Days Extension of Orders to Have Expired
 July Fl

Washintgon, July Extension Tor 50 days of the order giving pref erential distribution of open top cars to coal mines east of the Mississippi was ordered today by the interstate commerce commission in an effort to solve the coal transportation prob lem. The original order would have expired July 21.
 Three-fold amendment of the order was made by the commission, which in letter to Daniel Willard, chair man of the advisory committee of the Association of Railway Executives, suggested that the carriers prohibit more than one re-consignment of cars loaded with coal.
 The amendments of the original or der provides:
 That railroads must place an em- bargo against consignees failing to unload open cars within 24 hours after delivery.
 That railroads may assign cars without regard to existing ratings for the mines so as to provide fuel for current use to public utilities and
 
 public institutions.
 Coal cars are defined not to include flat bottom gondolas, with sides less than 36 inches high inside measure ment, or cars equipped with racks, or which one June 19, last, had been re- tired from the coal movement and stenciled or tagged for other service.
 Announcement of the commissions changes came almost simultaneously with the adjournment of the coal op- orators conference which had been attempting for two days to work out plan for supplying the northwest. The plan finally agreed on by the op- orators will be submitted to railway executives at New York tomorrow.
 The plan of tn operators was de- scribed by the resolution adopted as assuring ample coal for all parts of the country"
 In a formal statement, President Wentz announced that he had inform ed MT. Willard that "drastic action in connection with the railroad to relieve the coal shortage would be proposed at the New York meeting. Although declining to elaborate on this, it was understood that the oper- ators' committee was considering fil- ing complaint with the interstate commerce commission charging the railroads with violating it's original priority car service order. General complaint was made by the operators at their closed conference that the order was not being obeyed either in fact or in spirit by the carriers.
 The operators also adopted reso- lution recommending that the inter- state commerce commission limit the reconsignment of coal "to the great est extent possible in order to elimi- nate existing abuses"

Anthracite Coal
 Operators Are
 Again Sustained

Scranton, Pa., July 13.-Dr. w. o. Thompson, chairman of the Anth- racite Mine Commission, at today's session ruled that the commission is without jurisdiction to admit any thing to the record unless it has a direct bearing upon 18 demands pre- sented by the United Mine Workers. This decision confines the work of the commission to an adjudication of the wages, hours of employment and other matters dealing directly with the working conditions of the mine workers.
 Today's action upheld the conten- tion of the mine operators and pre- vented the representatives of the workers from presenting seven ex- hibits which they allege would tend to prove charges of monopolistic con trol of the Anthracite industry and profiteering by operators during the last four years.

SCHOOL DIRECTORS
 FROM ALL DISTRICTS
 WILL MEET TODAY
With Chamber Leaders, They Will Discuss New Edu-
 cati0nal Campaign

Possibly 75 county school trustees from all Jefferson districts will meet this morning at II o'clock at the courthouse to discuss county school problems, and will meet again at noon at luncheon at the Hotel Pines with Chamber of Commerce officials and trustees to perfect the plans for the formation of Jefferson county branch of the Arkansas Educational Association.
 It is hoped that the school men and the chamber men will effect a citizens branch of the state organi- zation which was launched only a short while ago to bring up Arkansas schools from the present low stan dard to which they have fallen. J At the meeting at the court house the school book qustion probably will take precedence over other matters to be discussed.
 It is probable that the school men will delegate one man or firm to han dle the books during the coming year. Because of the small margin of profit, the inability to obtain the books when needed, and the endless bother that goes with selling them, it has been difficult lately to find a firm willing to handle them. Sup erintendent w. P. Keith said yes terday that pressure also probably will be brought to bear on publishers in order to obtain prompt deliveries
 County teachers will receive sal aries during the coming year which will be from 25 to 50 per cent better than those of last year, it was shown yesterday. Each board has taken up it's own salary problem and in the face of numerous resignations, sub- stantial increases have been made The county teaching staff was said to be in fairly good shape.

MILITARY CHIEFS CALLED ID MEET
 ALLIED COUNCIL Marshals FOch and Wilson Are En Route to
 Spa
DEADLOCK REACHED
 IN THE NEGOTIATIONS
Germans Say That Occupation May be the Result, but That They Cannot Go Farther With
 Plans

Spa, Belgium, July 13-With a dead lock reached today between the Ger mans and the allies at the conference here on the question of coal it be- came known tonight that the supreme allied council will meet tomorrow im- mediately after the arrival here of the Iallied military chiefs, Marshal Foch and Field Marshal Wilson.
 Meantime the German delegation will remain here. Marshal Foch will leave Paris tonight, arriving in the morning. Marshal Wilson is expected from England during the day
 They will discuss possible enforce ment measures.
 Dr. Simons, the German foreign secretary, said to the Associated Press:
 "The allies may, under the treaty, give us an order concerning coal. If they give, an order, we, of course, would try to satisfy it. But we do not believe we could. That would not be voluntary cooperative arrange ment"
 Dr. Simons later said:
 "The allies can occupy the Ruhr or other territories. They can send their own agents into Germany and probe the situation. They may fix any penalties; We are not in a posi- tion to resist"
 The secretary expressed the attitude of the German delegation as it is to- night, but the allied ministers hope, before they take further measures, that the Germans may change their decision.
 The German delegates when asked to amplify their proposal, sent let ter to Premier Delacroix saying that it would be impossible for them to be definite in their proposals until the coal question was settled. It appears it is not so much question of min ing coal in a quantity sufficient to give 300,000 tons monthly more than Germany offers, but rather the diff culties of the German government in financing the delivery out of their budget.
 Dr. Simons said late tonight that the Germans had nothing to add to their coal proposition. He regretted exceedingly the position taken by the allies and said the, Germans must simply await further action.
 M. Millerand, the French premier, regrets that it is not possible for Germany to cooperate with the allies in the execution of the treaty but he is firmly resolved to stand on the position now taken.
 Following decision by the allies that the German reply, submitted this afternoon, was not acceptable, the al lied military chieftains were summon ed. Calling them in, it is understood, means immediate measures to enforce the treaty unless Germany modifies it's attitude.

GubernatOrial Candidate At. tacks Conduct of State
 Farms

Tom Terral, secretary of state and candidate for governor, told crowd at the courthouse last night that the state cannot hope for business ad- ministration until there is man in the governors chair who has the cour- age and backbone to clean out '"the present set of grafters with which the state is afflicted"
 Terrall attacked the penitentiary commissioners and the manner in which the affairs of the two state farms have been conducted.
 He was introduced by County Judge R. H. Williams and received an ovation.
 While Texas and Mississippi are making money on their farms, the state of Arkansas with 12,000 acres of rich lands has but 53 cents in the treasury, he declared. The manage ment of affairs of these two farms, he said, is a disgrace to the state.
 Convicts are being worked on pri- vate lands, he said.
 MT. Terrall advocated broader, constructive policy for the state uni versity, and called attention to the fact that the student enrolment is only 900 despite the fact that there are a million and half people in the state, He also advocated the abo- lition of the state game and fish war den's department.
 "The affairs of the state must be reorganized and put on safe, sane business basis," MT. Terrall said in conclusion.

Origin

Rotary was born February 3d. 1905. Four Chicago
men, one lawyer, mining OPERATOR the third coal
dealer and the fourth tailor, decided that day to
organize club These men, drawn together through
mutual acquaintance proposed series of meetings at
their respective places Of business.
The circle enlarged by representatives from other
lines of business that within year membership fifty
reached.
AS the time for each the host he gave dis
his business that his guests might learn
something worth while regarding it, and thus broaden
their own knowledge concerning various businesses outside
their own.

The Rotary Platform

ENECOCNIZING the commercial basis of
VIZ modern life as a necessary Incident in
1 U human evolution, the Rotary Club is Or
ganized to express that proper relation between
private interests and the fusion of private in
terests which constitutes society.
To accomplish this purpose more effectively
the principle of limited membership has been
adopted, the Rotary Club consisting of one
representative from each distinct line of bust
ness or profession. Each member is benefited
by contact with representative men engaged in
different occupations and is enabled thereby to
meet more ntelligently the responsibilities of
civic and business life.
The basis of club membership insures the
representation of all interests and the DOM
nation of none in the consideration of public
questions relating to business. On account of
its limited membership the Rotary Club does
not constitute itself the voice of the entire
community On questions of general impor-
tance, but its action on such questions is of
great influence in advancing the civic and bust
ness welfare of the community.
The Rotary Club demands fair dealings, honest
methods, and high standards in business. No
obligation, actual or implied, to influence
business exists in Rotary. Election to MEM
bership therein is an expression of confidence
of the club in the member elected and of its
good will towards him. AS his business is an
expression of himself, he is expected actively
to represent it.
Membership in the Rotary Club is a privilege
and an opportunity and it's responsibility de-
mands honest and efficient service and thought
fulness for ones fellows. Service is the basis
of all business.
He profits most qOho serves best
