Defect in Amendment.

The house spent a large part of the afternoon in an effort to remedy a de- feet which was discovered in the amendment tackled on to the Ross two-cent rate bill by the senate. The bill originally was to take effect from and after passage. AS amended it was provided that it should be in eff feet sixty days after it's passage. When the bill reached the house this afternoon for action on the amend ments, it was pointed out that khis would be construed to mean that the bill would be in effect for period of only sixty days after it's passage. Friends of the bill at first refused to consent to change in the amend ment, evidently scenting an attempt to kill the bill, but it was finally agreed that the amendment was de- fective. An amendment was then of- fered and adopted, providing that the bill should "become effective sixty days after it's passage The substi- tuition of the word "become" for the word "be'' was all that was necessary to remove the defect.

Fight in J,lion.

The old fight over the division of Union county into two judicial dis tricts has broken out again this ses- sion and two large delegations from Union county are in the city today to appear before the judiciary com- mittee, which has charge of the bill introduced by Representative Van Hook, repeating the Felsenthal bill, passed two years ago, under which a new division was created in Union county with Felsenthal as the county scat. One delegation comes from Strong, which hopes eventually to have the county seat if the new district is transferred from Felsenthal to Strong. The other delegation is from Fl Dorado and is fighting for the repeal of the Eel seminal bill, in order to have the county again thrown into one dis trict. The delegations appeared before the committee tonight and presented their arguments.

Good Roads Delegates.

Many delegates to the state Good Roads convention, which opened here today, visited the senate and house, and in return, the house ad- journed at II o'clock this morning to permit the members to attend the opening session of the Good Roads conventions The Fort Smith dele gation, TOO strong, with a band, visited the legislature this morning. The Pine Bluff delegation arrived on it's special train and made a splendid showing. The Good Roads convention, which will last three days, promises to be the most suc- cessful ever held in the state. The association will discuss the various good roads bills that have been in- troduced in the legislature and will endorse those which it believes should be passed.

Finley NOminates Davis.

In the house Davis was nominated by Representative Finley of Lawrence county. The nomination was second- ed by Mr. Meade of Pope county. Representative Carlton of Newton county nominated Judge Worthing- ton. The only Democratic vote against Davis was cast by Representative Balch of Pulaski county. In explana- ton of his vote Mr. Balch sent the following communication to the clerk: Denying the divinity of John Page and doubling the infallibility of the state central committee and believing that an order made by them cannot set aside the constitution, or any law of congress or our state, I hereby cast my vote for Hon. Clifton R. Breckinridge of Sebastian county for senator.'
 In the senate Davis was nominated by Senator Milan of Garland county. Every member voted for the nominee, with the exception of Senator Brown ing, who simply voted present and Senator Legate, the Republican mem- Der, who voted for Judge John l.. Worthington. Senator Carlock ex- plained that he voted against his wishes but bowed to the will of the people.

University Trustees.

A message was received by the senate today from Governor Little asking that the nomination of three trustees of the University of Arkan. sas which were submitted by Cover nor Davis just before he retired from office, be returned to him for further consideration. This action of Cover nor Little, while somewhat expected
 caused something of sensation, be- ing taken to indicate clash between Governor Little and ex-Governor Da- wis. The senate has withheld action On the nominations made by Governor Davis for the reason that it was be- lieved that these nominations should have been left to Governor Little and it was desired to give the new gover- nor opportunity to take up the matter if he desired. There has been no ob- jection made to the men named by Governor Davis, but it was claimed that he should left the appointment of the trustees to the incoming gover- nor, who will be held responsible for the actions of the appointees. The senate voted this afternoon to return the appointments to Governor Little.

LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP
(By Staff Correspondent.) )

introduced by Senator Toney of lief 1erson county, changing the date of the state election from the first to the second Monday in September. senator Toney explained that the object of the bill was to avoid the present conflict With Labor Day. Sen ator Legate, the Republican mcm- ber, suggested that the state elec- tions should he consolidated with the national elections, but Senator Win go opposed this, declaring it to be merely an effort to place the state elections under federal control. Tho bill passed by vote of 21 to s. A similar bill is pending in the house and an amendment has been offered, consolidating the state and national elections.

Little Rock, Jan. 29.-Jef Davis was elected United States Senator from Arkansas by each branch of the General Assembly today. Having been declared the nominee of the Demo- cratic party by the result of the pri- mary held last March, he received practically the solid vote of the Dem ocratic members of the legislature His name was the only one presented by the Democrats for the office when the time arrived today to ballot for United States Senator.
 The five Republican members of the legislature, four in the house and one In the senate, cast their votes for Judge John I. Worthington of Harri- son, who was the Republican nomi- nee for governor in the last state election.
 The houses voted separately for senator today and a joint session will be held tomorrow, when the result of today's vote in the two houses will be announced and Davis will be declar- ed elected United States senator.

TWO.Cent Bill Passed.

The Ross two-cent rate bill was passed by the senate today with only one dissenting vote, which was cast by Senator Carlock. Senator Robb stated that he would have voted against the bill if it would have had any effect but that he was helpless in the face of public sentiment. The passage of the bill was preceded by several attempts to secure the adop- tion of amendments. Senator Amis made vigorous speech in opposition to the measure but voted for it when the final vote was taken. He offered an amendment providing that persons failing to purchase tickets should pay 2 1-2 cents per mile. Senators Good win, Knight and Thompson spoke in favor of the original bill and against all amendments. In speaking against the amendment offered by Senator Amis MT. Patterson declared: "When the railroads quit bribing the mem- bers of the legislature, the public will probably quit bribing their conduct ors."
 r In spite of the opposition which had developed to the bill in its original form, all the senators, with the ex- ception of Senator Carlock. fell in line and voted for the measure when it was placed upon it's final passage.
 It is probable that the bill will become law within a few days, as it is expected that Gov. Little will sign it. As amended by the senate the bill gives the railroads sixty days in which to alter their rates and arrange their schedules to comply with the measure.
 The senate today adopted the bill

MORGAN TO FLOAT
$4,000, 900 ISSUE

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.--If J. P.
Morgan is to underwrite an issue of
$40 100000 of New York city bonds
and, until issue is disposed of, to
exercise a kind of censorship over
the municipality finances, Wall st.
wants to know if the arrangement
is not pretty much in the nature OF
a receivership with Morgan in
charge.
Wall st. does not understand that
Morgan acted from purely philan-
thropic motives when he agreed
with the city officials to form an in
ternational syndicate to float the
bonds. They figure that the issue
will be worth at least ITO as soon
as the present financial pinch -
over, and estimate that the syndi-
cate will clear fully 10 per cent on
the transaction. The bonds are the
first offered in years a, so high a
rate as Az per cent.

THIRD AND FOURTH WARDS
UNITE IN MOVEMENT TO
REMEDY THE MONROE ST.
IMPOSITION.

The Third and Fourth wards pro-
test against the Monroe st. bridge

night at the Fourth Ward Improve

appeared as an ambassador from
the Third ward to cement the al
hance and succeeded without sign
of dissent.
The upshot of the discussion was
q resolution offered by r. f. Collins
reaffirming the position taken by
the Third ward property owners at
a previous meeting. A straightfor-
ward demand Is made that the city
proceed with the erection of sat

promised when the bond issue was

The wasting of thousands of dol

missioners' intention to use por-
lions of the issue authorized ex-
clusively for new bridges in build

In response to inquiry, City Engi-
neer Mcintyre explained that the
present bridge could be used at
some other point removed from
streetcar traffic, but could not be
restored to safe use at its present
location. He advocated the erection
of reinforced concrete bridge as
the most economical and artistic.
He also stated a belief that the

FOURTH WARD WILL FIGHT

The insincerity of the company's
argument that it could not consent
to lowering it's grade below the
street because of having to handle
freight from Easements by elevators
was shown by numerous citations
from methods followed in other
cities and requirements enforced to
protect crossings. Railroad bluffs
that have failed were also recalled,
notably that of e. J. Cannon on the
Fort Wright dispute.
The fact that the company is at
tempting to force it's spur line into
the Monroe ST. district at the low.
est possible cost to itself regardless
of danger and inconvenience infict-
ed on the public is thoroughly I'M
derstood by the property owners in
terested. They concluded to take
no chances.
A committee consisting of R. F.
Collins, J. G. Ralston. N. w. Dur
ham, James Burchett, Fred Phair
and w. d. Vincent was named to
present the citizens side of the
case to the council and watch over
it pending final decision.
A publicity and booster commit
tee named consists of L. c. Barrett,
R. c.. McMillen, r. d. Flynee and
Charles Howard. It's object will be
to advertise the proposition thor
oughly in the Fourth ward and
muster a convincing demonstration
of property owners in the council
chamber next week, when the
franchise application comes up for
discussion.
Thus organized to reinforce their
2 representatives in the council the
Fourth ward expects to make a
showing that will counterfeit the
railroad influence now being ex.
erted on councilmen to override the
wishes of the Fourth ward citizens
and force a menace to life and
damage to their residence property
interests on the community.

WV. P. DETERMINE TO
USE MONROE ST. BRIDGE
Laying New Rails on Advance Report Of IT'S Own
Engineer Secured by Councilman Estep.

izing the w. w. P. Co. to secure
Kansas City engineer to- make a
report on the Strauss report and
also on the bridge. This man has
not reached here yet, but is expect
ed any day, possibly Monday, when
Mayor c. Herbert Moore returns
from his junket.
The report is already prepared,
and knowing its tenor, the w. w.
P. is preparing to begin traffic i'm
mediately, regardless of the enor-
nous risk to human life.
Members of the board of works
this morning stated positively that
the fact that the w. w. p. was put
ting in new tracks was not par
ticularly significant to them, be-
cause it would do the company no
good. They are not bound by the
company's engineer.
But the company is evidently de-
termined to fight injunction pro-
ceedings on this engineers report.
Strauss is of the greatest engi.
neers in America. He said the
bridge was in danger Of going down
at any time from it's own weight.
Yet the w. w. p. apparently in
tends to go beyond this report and

Special Correspondence to The Prsss
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 81
With more energy than ever exert
ed before, and real fighting cam
paign fund to back 1t with, the anti
Japanese forces Of California and
the Pacific coast will make a des-
perate attempt at the coming ses-
sion Of congress to secure a Japa-
nese exclusion law.
The most recent development,
President Roosevelt's admission of
his inability to make good prom
Use to arrange a treaty with Japan
providing for coolie exclusion, has
stirred all this country to its
depths.
That the Japanese government
makes no secret of its determine
ton never to agree to such an ar
rangement, has been published far
and wide, and the japanese and Ko-
rean exclusion league, with branch
es from the Canadian north to the
Mexican south, is growing in mem
bership and influence by leaps and
bounds.
When the committee of San Fran
ciscans waited upon the president
a few months ago to protest against
the presence of Japanese in schools
attended by white children, the
president temporarily settled the
matter in this fashion:
Lets compromise. You allow the
Japanese to go to school with your
children. and in return for that
concession l promise my best eff
forts to the end 70 securing the ex.
clusion of the Japanese coolie."
True, since that time there had
been in effect an amendment to the
Chinese exclusion law which Is In
tended to be a bar against the JAP
laborer. But 1t has proved failure
according to the local anti-Japanese
agltators, who Declare the little
brown men are pouring into the
United States across the northern
and southern boundary lines as fast
as they formerly arrived direct in
ships.
Finding that the president hat

Japanese have planned mighty
campaign for an out-and-out exclu
sion law that will bar out the Jap
anese coolie as successfully as the
Chinese law excludes the Chinese
coolie.
There are those in California who
believe the president would not be
antagonistic to Japanese exclu
sion law, and might even work for
its passage. They venture such a
belief in view of the presidents
promise to the committee of San
Franciscans.
Then there is another angle, a
war angle, to the controversy.

crease the likelihood of war with

permanent exclusion law Is likely
