but increased cloudiness.

be put forth this evening. The saloon
men will hold a consultation and all
arrangements will be perfected for the
work that is to be done at the polls
tomorrow. A large number of VETS
who are not personally connected with
the saloons will be used as workers at
the polls.

PARKER TO TEXARKANA
Physicians Felt That He Was Not Doing so We'll and Thought Best to Take
 Him to Sanitarium.

w. l.. Parker, whose right leg was amputated just below the knee as result of a wound re- ceived from his own gun while hunting week ago, was taken to the Abel Sanitarium at Texar- kama Wednesday on recommenda- tion of his physicians, Drs. Gum nels and Parks, who felt that he needed attention and rest and quiet that could not be given him in his home here.
 In ampltating the leg the physicians operated as far below the knee as possible so that an artificial limb mig ht be best ft- ted when the injury healed, but 1t is now feared that another ann putatiou may have to be made above the knee, as the terrible concussion of the 30-30 Savage soft-nosed ball iSjured the bone and flesh a considerable distance above the wound.
 In conversation Mir. Par ker was hopeful of being soon able to be in his office looking af- ter his duties as county clerk and desired The Star to say that in the meantime his deputy Miss Ola Jones, with the assistance of his friends, would care for every thing in good shape. He also expressed the deepest apprecia- tion of che friends whos had cared for him since his deplorable mis- hap.
 Mr. Parker was accompanied to Texarkana by Mrs. Parker and Dr. c. c. Gunnels.

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY
C. F. Crawford Rejoices That Thief Found It Hard Job to Break
 Into Store.

G. +. Crawford, the South Side merchant, was congratulating h i m el f "Wednesday t h t the thief, who sometime during last night, tried to force m en- trance into his store, never qui c succeeded in accomplishing his purpose.
 When Mir. Crawford entered his place of business Wednesday he noticed that the brace winch extended from the floor to the latch on the back door had been removed. This was done witt, a bar of some kind which was slipped through the opening be- tween the door and the floor. This task was easily enough ac- complished, but owing to the fact that the door was also fas- tened with a side latch, the mis- creant probably quit hls job IL disgust.
 MT. Crawford says that by the time the carpenters get through with his back door today the next fellow will experience still greater difficulty in any attempt to break in in.

Washington, Feb. 10.-Under the guise of considering the nomination or Dr. w. D. Crum, negro collector or customs at Charleston, s. C., reap pointed by President Roosevelt, the senate in executive session Monday discussed the Japanese question. In cidentally the discussion turned upon the reference to Senator Perkins by President Roosevelt in a telegram to Gov. Gillett of California in which he said that the senior California sen ator had hampered the administration in its efforts to build up the navy, yet now advises policy of wanton Insult"
 Senator Tillman, colleague of Sen ator Perkins on the naval affairs com mittee referred to the statement and indignation was shown by other sen ltors because of the attack upon MT. Perkins.
 Both California senators took part In the discussion. Senator Perkins declared he had not been asked by NCN terences concerning the Japanese sit- nation in California. He said he could not understand why the presi- dent should intimate that he had tried 10 stir up the sentiment in California In opposition to the efforts of the president He stated what his posi-. ton had been on the subject of a big navy, declaring that he had always been in favor of steady growth of ,he navy, even though he was against the presidents four battleship pro gram last session.
 Senator Flint declared he had not participated in the conferences at the White House until he was asked to serve as the Intermediary between the administration and the California Legislature He made it clear that he did not approve of the criticism of his colleague.

Want $4i.285 for Structures That Judge Prickett Figures Should Be
 Constructed for $l7,000.
WAS THE OLD WAY BEST?
Looks as Though Advertising for Bids Had Given Bridge Builders Chance
 to Get Together.

Bridge building in Polk county has received a backsct that will at least very greatly delay the construction ot the three bridge that the quorum court recom- mended for this year.
 In response to an advertise ment for bids, three panies entered the field for the work, and the lowest offer for each bridge is as follows:
 Bridge over Rolling Fork west ot Grannis, $7,985.
 Bridge over Cossatot east of Janssen, $ll,090.
 Bridge over Ouachita at Egger, S22, 2l0.
 Total for three, $4l, ,285.
 In addition to this there is con- siderable expense for surveying, making drawings. advertising etc.
 In building the other Polk county bridges Judge Prickett cut out some of these expenses and built the bridges cheaply as he could. For this he was most severely criticized during the last campaign. and took no chan ces of such criticism this time. He says, that based on his former experiences, he believes he could have built these three bridges for $l7, 1000, as follows: Rolling Fork, S4,000; atot, S, 900; Ouachita $s,O0O
 Here are few comparisons;
 The bridge at Board Camp has span 87H feet iu length and l50 feet of approaches; total cos. $2, 400. The Rolling Fork bridge plans call for span of S7H feet and 2l0 feet of approaches. Lowest bid $7,9S5.
 The bridge over Mountain Fork, west of Hatfield, cost close ta 5000, with a l30 foot span and 230 feet of approaches. The plans for Cossatot bridge call for span 122 feet and 6 inches long and l05 feet of approaches. Low est bid. $ll,090.
 The Irons Fork bridge is 16s feet in span and has IFS feet oi approaches, one approach a fill, which was once washed out and re.made. The cost in all wa: $4, 300, while tor the Ouachita structure with 2l0 feet in two spans and l75 feet and 6 inches of approaches the best bid was $22,210
 All these bids have been reject ed and the bridge commissioners cannot now see their way clear to build more than one of the three proposed bridges.

LANGUAGE IS PLAIN
POSITION ON ANTl-JAPANEsE LEGISLATION
 SET FORTH BY PRESIDENT.
PRESIDENT MUST GUARD ALL INTERESTS
Long Telegram Sent to Speaker of B California House After Conference
 at the White House-Wants Call
 fornia to Permit a Trial of the Pres ent Agreement With Japan.

Washington, Feb. 10-"The policy oi the administration is to combine the maximum of efficiency in achieving the real object which the people of the Pacific slope have at heart. with the minimum of friction and trouble, while the misguided men who advo- cate such action as this against which I protest are following policy which Combines the very minimum of ef- dciency with the maximum of insult and which, while totally failing to achieve any real result for good, yet might accomplish an infinity of harm. .
 In this language President Roose- welt Monday in long telegram 10 Speaker P. A. Stanton, of the Cali fornia assembly, set forth the govern ments view of the anti-Japanese school legislation now before that body.
 The president stated that the bill lion and that the government would be obliged immediately to take action In the federal courts to test such legis- lAtion because 1t is held to be clearly a violation of the treaty obligations of the United States. The telegram to Speaker Stanton was sent only af- ter conference with Senator Flint md Representative Kahn of Cali fornia and F. K. Lane of the Inter- state Commerce commission.
 After calling attention to the grave mischief that may be done by the Enactment of such measures as the school segregation law and referring the speaker to the many supreme court decisions upholding the treaty rights of alien nations the president concludes his telegram as follows:
 Elf in the next year or two the action of the federal government falls to achieve what it Is now achieving. then through the further action of the president and congress 1t can be made entirely efficient. I am sure that the sound judgment of the people of Cali fornia will support you, Mir. Speaker. In your efforts. Let me repeat that it present we are actually doing the very thing which the people of Cali fornia wish to be done, and to upset the arrangement under which this is being done can do no good and may do harm. In the next year or two if the figures of immigration prove that the arrangement which was worked so successfully during the last six months is no longer working success mlly, then there would be ground for Grievance. and for the reversal by the national government of it's present policy. But at present the policy is working well and until 1t works badly fl would be a grave misfortune to change It. and when changed it can only be changed effectively by the na- ttonal government
