fare, is so much in accordance with tn.
views of the French naval administra-
ton on that subject that the speech
has been translated and distributed
among the student of the French naval
schools, accompanied by the declara-
tion that the presidents statements are
even more true Of France than OF
America.
This curious action has been sec
onded by articles in the press urging
an investigation of the details of the
army and navy schools of the United
States. Several papers notably Figaro,
ore preparing supplements dealing WIN
the most striking features of American
life at home and abroad, the lives OF
prominent Americans and the historical
relations of France and the United
States.
Figaros supplement, which will be
distributed broadcast in America OH
May "a, will be published in Paris on
May 10, Ia order that Ambassador Por :
ter, who sails for New York on May TO-,
may have a copy to read on the voy-
age. If the Rochambeau demonstration,
which will be echoed in Paris by a
French American banquet, does not as
sumo a significant political and pa
triotic aspect it will not be the fault of
France, which is evidently thinking of
Rochambeau and of Prince Henry at
the same time.

general counsel of the Chicago, Bur,

Yesterday by the house committee on
commerce on the Corliss bill increas-
ing the powers OF the interstate COM

Mr.. Blythe maintained that as puslt

and while conceding that there should
be legislative remedies against rate
cutting, rebates. etc., affecting the pub

went too far in giving authority to hx

He took the general view that either
there must be commercial indepen-

reached Little Rock from Alpin, Perry
county, of murder committed Friday
morning about II o'clock. Samuel
Childress is the name of the dead man,
James A. Huddleston, alias Alexander,
is under arrest charged With the crime
From the particulars obtainable from
reliable sources it appears that Chill
dress was shot down in cold blood
while he was making horseback trip
from Alpin to Perryville. He was
found on the roadside about IL o'clock
by the mail rider with several bull
let holes in his head and in a dying
condition.
The murder Is considered the out
growth of q rather sensa onal event
that transpired about two months ago
Childress was regarded by the people in
the community in which he resided as a
sort of secret detective. Not long ago
he made trip to Texas, and shortly
after his return prominent merchant
of Casa, named Alexander. was ar
rested on the charge Of counterfe.ting
money in Texas some twelve years
ago. 1t developed that Alexander's
real name was Huddleston, and that he
escaped from the Paris, Tex, Jail the
night before a verdict sentencing him
to ten years in the penitentiary was
delivered to the court. Huddleston
was taken back to Paris, and is re-
ported to have been sentenced to five
years in the penitentiary, but wa5 re-

If no reduction was made there might

George E. Eryson, commissioner OF

large and small plantations in Cuba
were owned by Americans. AS a rule
Spsniards control sugar production by
holding mortgages on the plantations.
BBryson also said the Poems or Col
