ELIHU ROOT IN
 LITTLE ROCK
Former Secretary of State Addresses the
 Legislature in Joint Session.

Little Rock, February 1S.- Former secretary of state, Eli hu Root, tor-elect from New York is a guest of honor here today. The Senate and House of Representatives went in to joint session in the House at l1.3O o'clock to hear a brief and informal address made by the il- iustriOus eX-premier.
 Mr. Root arrived from Hot Springs on the Rock Island road at Il o'clock and was escorted to the State House by commit tee composed of five senators and eight representatives. The senators on the reception com mittee were; Arnold, Yopp, Hen ders0n, Toney and Montgomery. The representatives were Leigh, Parks, Glover, smith, Bouic, Du- fancy, Warnock and Granger.
 The appearance Of Mr. Root here today is upon invitation of the House or Representatives and is a compliment appreciated gratefully by the members of the General Assembly as this is the only occasion with one exception of the eX secretary of state in which Mr Root has consented to figure i'll public affair The other occasion was at a banquet at Hot Springs last night rendered by the Business Mems League at the Arlington Hotel. Mr. Root came to Arkansas to escape for a time the burden of public af- fairs which have rested heavily upon his shoulders since he be- came a member Of the cabinet, in 1899 as Secretary of War under William Mckinley. He was reap pointed in 1901 and resigned the war portfolio in February. 1904 He was made a member Cf RoOse- yeit's cabinet, as secretary of state, July 1, 1905 and occupied this highly responsible position un til his recent reSigna tiOn to be- come New York's national sena- tor During this time he has suf- fered in health and his stay at Hot Springs has he says, made a new man OG him physically. He has been leading an active outt. door life climbing mountains and taking long walks, giving over to as great an extent as possible all burdensome thought and worry.

PRESENT CANAL
 TYPE ACCURATE
Roosevelt Says a Change Would Be
 Abandonment of Costly Work.

Washington. Feb. 1S.-Any at tack made hereafter on the lock type Of the Panama canal accord ing to the opinion expressed by President Roosevelt in a message transmitting to Congress today the report made by the engineers who recently visited the canal zone with president-alectT Taft, lis in reality merely an attack upon the policy Oi building any canal at all" The report in Mr.. Roosevelt's opinion shows in clear est fashion that the Congress was wise in the position it took and that it would be an inexcus- able folly to change from the pro- posed lock canal to a sea level canal.
 T commend to you" he says to Congress, the most careful con sderation Of the report They show that the only criticism that can be made Or the work on the isfthmus is that there has some times been almost an excess of caution in providing against pos sibie trouble. As to the Gatun dam itself they show that not Cniy is the dam safe. but that Cn the whole the pan already a. dCpted would make it needlessly high and strong and accordingly they recommend that the height be reduced by 20 feet. which changes in the plans I have ac- cCrdingly directed"
 President Roosevelt says the engineers who made tha~report are Of all men in their profession within and without the United States the men who are. on the whole best qualified to pass upon these very questions which they examined.
 1 They report that they do not ] find any occasion for changing
 the type of canal that has been
 adopted. A change to sea level
 plan at the present time would
 add greatly to the cost and time OI construction without compen- sating advantages, either in ca ! pacity Of the canal or in safety { CT navigation and here would be
 2 public misfortune.

GAYS ACTION OF SEN.
 ATE WAS COWARDLY
Hon Will Martin, Law Partner of Col. "'' Greayes Says Neither Greaves Nor
 Sumpter Will Enter Race.

1j+tle Rock, February 1S.- rba+ neither Greaves nor Stump tor will run in the special e'ec- tion to be called to fill the va cancy in the senate from the Thirty first district created by the senate's action yesterday, is the possibility held out by Will H Martin, law partner of Col. Greaves of Hot Springs. Although Greaves is a Republican and Martin is a prominent Democrat Mr. Martin has been actively en gagged in furthering the ends of what he deems justice in the Greaves -Sumpter contest
 Mr. Martin speaking for Mir. Greaves would not again become acandidate and run in the spec ial election unless Sumpter ent- CTS the race. It is Mr. Martins expressed belief that Sumpter will not run as a Democratic can ddate. which would mean that he would not run at all in the e. vent that he did not secure nom nation in Democratic prim- ary which Mr Martin says will be called soon. Mr. Martin and others who are familiar with the political line up in Garland county are of the opinion that the existing organiZa tion will not endorse Sumpter's candidacy. There would have been other can ddates opposing Sumpter in the Democratic primaries in which he secured the nomination, but for the operation of a rule regarding the filing of names of nominees which other possible candidates overlooked until too late.
 In refusing to enter the race unless Sumpter is a candidate Greayes will be following a con slstent course as he has reneated- Y stated that he became a can dldate only to prevent the peo- pie oI his district being represent ed by Sumpter in the Senate.
 Nevertheless Mr. Greayes is dis mtlslied at the action taken by the senate which he charactery izeS as 'cowardly.' and Sumpter IS apparently pleased and says tnat he will be in the race and wlli come back to the senate re- elected. ' "
