PROHIS GAIN POINT
STATEWIDE BILL MAY BE PASSED
 IN ARKANSAS.
Majority in House of Representative Shows It's DisapprOval of Ex-
 empting Any Counties

Little Rock Ark, Feb 25.-Before packed galleries and lobby. the House spent the entire day today fighting over prohibition measures, the first se- rious tilt over the prohibition question that the Legislature has had thus far.
 The Gam bill providing for statutory Statewide prohibition, which was re- ported on favorably by the Temper ance Committee. was under fire and all though those favoring the bin had majority of twenty nine votes on the only question of the day in which the vote was considered significant, they were unable to put the bill through to- day.
 Stubborn resistance on the part of the opposition to the bill resulted in no decisive action being taken other than to vote down an amendment which provided for the exemption of Sebastian County in which Fort Smith Is located. from the provisions of the bill The fact that the amendment was voted down was considered ex- tremely significant. however, inasmuch as the House by so doing showed an evident intention to exclude no coun- ties.
 When the days session had ended the bill had passed its second reading. while a substitute providing for the submission of the matter to popular vote at special election. had been read once. Consideration of the Gam bill will be resumed tomorrow.

DEFENDS THE PRESS
GOVERNOR WILSON PARDONS
 LOUISVILLE HERALD.
Newspaper Had Been Indicted for Crit icising Officers for Failure to Pursue Night Riders
 Given.

Frankfort, ky, Feb. 25.-One of the strongest defenses of the freedom or the press in criticism of public officials ever delivered in the South was writ ten by Governor Augustus E. Wilson today in granting a pardon to The Her ald Publishing Company. of Louisville, publishers of The Louisville Herald. for an indictment In the Galloway and Trigg Circuit Courts of Westefn Ken lucky, charging the paper with crfmt- nally Iibeling Judge Thomas P. Cook and Commonwealth's Attorney Denny P. Smith.
 The two officials preside in the dis trlct In which the greater part of the night rider troubles in Western Ken lucky occurred and the paper vigor- ousIy scored them for failure to per form their duty In prosecution of the lawless element.
 Governor Wilson wrote upon the pardons to the newspaper company this reason:
 Because the long series of crimes in this district, which have not been pun ished under these officers administra- ton make 1t necessary for the press to criticise all who can be held respon- sible.
 If the courts do not put an end to the rule of crime in the counties in which the Judge and Commonwealth 8 Attorney are selected to uphold law and order the only hope of permanent relief from such conditions is in en- frightened public sentiment aroused by the press of the country and instead of punishing the newspapers which make a fight against such conditions. 1t should be regarded as fulfilling its duty"

 In Pensacola Federal
 Court.
COURT uyolDs DECISION

Pensacola, Fla. Feb. 25.-(Special.)- According to letters received here by R. Pope Reese, special assistant to the United States Attorney General, the Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld the decision of the District Court for the Northern District of Florida In the peonage cases of w. S. Harlan. ct al. which were appealed from here, and the plaintiffs in error will be compell- ed to serve the sentences imposed up- on them two years ago.
 The cases originated in the camps of the Jackson Lumber Co.,, one of the largest plants in the South and the trial was one of the most important of its nature ever to occur in the south. A verdict of guilty was rendered by the jury and sentences of from twelve to eighteen months with heavy fines in addition were imposed by Judge Swayne, now deceased.
 The cases were appealed to the Cir cult Court of Appeals at New Orleans and were recently argued with de- cision affirming the lower court. Tho who are to serve time are Manager w. S. Harlan, IS months; Robert Gal lagher IS months; c. c. Hilton. s. F.. Huggins. pr. W. E. Grace and oscar F.. Sandor, 12 months each.
 It Is very probable that an effort will be made to appeal the cases to the United States Supreme Court, but there is little probability, according to at- torneys, of such being granted.

NEEDS OF THE NAVY
PRESIDENT SUBMITS A REPORT TO
 CONGRESS.
Joint Army and Navy Commission is Appointed by Roosevelt to Consider Navy
 Yards

Washington, Feb. 25.-The President today submitted to Congress two pre- liminary reports of the commission he appointed to consider certain needs of the navy.
 The commission recommends an ad- visory board for the Secretary, declar- ing that what the Secretary needs above all, Is a clear understanding and firm grasp of leading military consid- erations. This advisory body, the com- mission says. should be selected from the class upon whom will fall in war the responsibility for the results of the navy they recommend.
 The commission is unable to report on the subject of the navy yards re- Quired by strategic considerations in war time and for maintaining a fleet in constant readiness for war during peace. owing to the limited time 1t has available.
 It recommends that the subject be referred to a joint army and navy com mission and accordingly the President has appointed Rear Admirals Mahan, Sperry and Wainwright and Captain Winslow of the navy. and Major Gen eral Bell and Brigadier Generals With erspoon and Marshall of the army, to report on the subject.
 In asking Congress to give Its very earnest consideration to the report the President says In their essence the principles presented amount to dec laration that the navy should be treat ed not with view to any special or local interest but from the standpoint of interest of the whole country, and that all other considerations should be subordinated to keeping 1t in the highest condition of military efficiency, for 1t must be prepared for war or else 1t Is useless. and it cannot be prepared for war unless always in the highest state of military efficiency.
 The commission will submit a final report to supplement and define the general principles laid down. This the President probably will submit to Con- gress before adjournment.

 upon cross-examination the witness swore that Rufe Luker. Bob Clements brother-in-law and an important wit ness for the State. lives about half mile from the Tom Edmondson place and that I.uker sends his children to school over a mile away. Bob Clem- ents. at the time of the killing, lived about lG0 yards froic Tom Edmond sons house. The witness drew a chalk plat of the grounds on the floor of the court room and was examined by the defendants attorneys as to every sin gle spot of the grounds surrounding the Edmondson place.

 In the location of these various places and the home of Rufe Luker 1t is the purpose of the State later on to attempt to show that the defendant killed the Edmondson family on the night of November 24. and that he placed all the bodies in the house and in the barn where they remained ali day of the 25th. and that on the night of the 25th the defendant burned the build ings and cremated the bodies.

Louisville. Ky. Feb. 25.-At 10 o'clock tonight the ohio River has reached a stage of 31 feet at this point, and was rising steadily.
 Weather reports from all along the ohio Valley indicate that the river will not assume the serious proportions at first feared. although 1t will be suf- ficiently great to cause considerable hardship to thousands of persons.
 About 300 persons have been com pelled to evacuate their homes in Lou isville thus far, and the maximum height of 35 feet, which Is expected Saturday evening, will probably bring the total number evicted by the wa ters to nearly a thousand.
 Reports from rural districts indicate that the damage to crops will not be as great as at first supposed.
 The river Is expected to begin reced- ing at this point early Sunday morn ing.

SHERRY TO CAPITAL
ADMIRAL LEAVES FLEET TO VISIT
 WASHINGTON.
Impression Grows That He Will Soon Haul Down His Flag, But His Wishes Will He Re-
 Earded

Fort Monroe. Va, Feh. 25.-Rear Admiral Charles s. Sperry, who brought the American battle fleet" from San Francisco to Hampton Roads, left tonight for Washington and the ships carpenter on board the flagship Connecticut began to box up the Ad- mirals belongings.
 The impression grows in the fleet that Admiral Sperry will soon haul down his flag. It is common gossip in- the fleet that President Roosevelt intends to name the next commander in n-chief of the fleet before he retires from office next Tn ursday.
 Admiral Sperry retires In Septem- Der. so there is little in the program of the next few months that would cause him to wish to remain.
 Undoubtedly the Admirars personal wishes will have great weight with the President and the Navy Depart ment.
