OLD TRAGEDY
 IS RECALLED
Old-Timers Discussed One of the Greatest Tragedies in the History of
 Texarkana

Tpxarkana. Juiy 12.-Old-time resi- dents today recalled and discussed the 10th anniversary of the greatest trag- ely in Texarkana history. the occur renee being Known as the Paragon horror"
 On July T. 1,>2, the walls of q three-story brick business house had just been completed on the southeast corner of Broad and State streets. IT was said the contractor had been drunk on the job from the start and that the walls were oat of plumb. On the ad- joining lot. there stood frame struc- ture. extending the full length of the lot. with a saloon in the front and gambling house in the rear. II was known as The Paragon and was re puted to be the biggest and toughest joint between Little Rock and Dallas Ii was owned by Col. l. W. Markham. who was said ID have bene Colonel i'll the Confederate army. Many attend ants were oa duty especially at night.
 On the night If July F. about x 30. il storm came up accompanied by light ming. and people on the streets hur- riedly sought shelter. many of them stepping into the Paragon In q few minutes. above the roar of the wind and storm terrific crash was heard. The new brick walls had toppled over on the fraiI frame building. The Para gon. imprisonne the inmates Ike rats in T trap. Persons going 10 the rescue soon found that many. if not all. of the persons were alive and unhurt. and they were able to talk with some of them The work of digging began. suddenly cries If despair came from the impr men. Coal oil lamp~ had been used for lighting the build ing. and these being broken in the crash. had Set framework of the building on fire. The reScuerS made all haste. but soon it was realized they could not save the men The victims realized their plight. also. and several called out goodbye and then shot themselves to, avoid death by fire. One of these was known To be W. E. Rus sell. q former mayor of the Texas side of the town.
 Estimates of the loss of life placed the number at from 31 to 52. Only 26 bodies were recovered. It was believ- cd that several were burned to ashes. The contractor fled to avoid lynching Colonel Markham was reported to have d'ed several years later in the poor house al Dallas. Texas

Arkansas now spends about >f5. Evidently an increase of little more than S1 per child would not materially help the present situa. lion
 Mr Futrall concludes: The peO pie of the state who are interested in seeing the public schols lifted out of their present deplorable condition should not be mjsled by any such false hopes"

Less Coal is Mined.


 Coal production for the week ending July#s shows a marked decrease The falling off hardly reflects the general trend of things. however, as aside from the coal strike the output was affected by the July holiday The loss of approximately 100000 tons from thy. low production of recent weeks never theIesS served n intensity the drain of existing stocks.
 Qnick settlement of the strike still seems unlikely. both operators and miner, showing little disposition to agree to temporary resumption of mining at the old wage scale.
 Crop prospects are practically un- changed. The Department of Agricul- tures grain estimate aS of July in dicates d fair yield. The winter wheat crop is placed at 569, ,ooO,0 ,00O bushels, ar 1s,oo0.oo0 bushels below last years crop. but the spring wheat outlook is enough better to bring the total of both crops mp t0 S17000,000 bushels Th's total x 21 .000.000 bushels more than last years IL is smaller than four of the past eight years. and larger than the other four 4 fair crop of corn k also in prospect. With prices little changed, the present grain crop promises to he sufficiently good to in- sure the continuation of revival in general business.
 The weeks developments in the mon ey market were quite as expected Fol lowing the holidays there was shrink age in the volume of federal reserve note currency. which. along with a gain in reserve. brought recovery in the reserve ratio of the combined federal reserve system At the same time the rate on call money on the New York Stock Exchange relaxed fur ther, and in touching 3-4 per cent reached the previous low record for the year Rates for the various forms of money are, accordingly. at the low levels of the present cycle. and the question remains as to whether or not the money market has quite touched bottom.

New York. July 1G.-With the e0un- try.s two major labor disputes still contributing the.r elements of uncer- tainty, business and financial news dur ing the past week suggests that tn" trend toward improvement is unin- terrupted. Railroad car loadings for the last week in June were slightly smaller than III the one previous. which set q new high record for the year.
 The loss k accounted for by smaller coal shipments, the movement of mer- chandise showing q further gain.
 Indication that q better demand for steel products is being maintained were confirmed by the June go total of un. filed orders of the United States Stee, Corpora ton As of the first of the current month, the corporations books show J.G53.
