Only One Vote Against Gam Bill
 in Upper House.
No Other Amendment Adopted After Pro- vision for Submission to People
 is Inserted.

Little Rock, March II. - Most of the day yesterday the senate discussed the Gam bill, with the Wingo amendment for submission July IA, and near the close of the afternoon session it was passed by a vote of 2S to I. Senator Robin son was the only dissenter, he stating that he was opposed to any sort of state wide prohibition bill, which would open up saloon in every drug store of the state. Senator Pindall spoke at length for reference to the temperance committee, but the senate refused to follow his suggestion and when it came time to vote on the seven amendments, providing for sub mission to the white voters, for the substitution of "whiskey" where ever alcohol appeared on the Gam bill, etc.,, the senators be- bagan to fall over each other in withdrawing amendments, until the bill stood alone with the Wingo amendp ant, as it was passed last Tuesday. Other important legis- lation was acted upon by the senate before adjournment. The game war den bill was placed back on second second reading and the salary re- duced from S2,5oo to $I 200 per annum. President Martin calling Senator Wingo to the chair, intro duced a joint resolution calling for a joint committee, two from the senate and three from the house, to investigate mining conditions, take testimony and suggest legisla- ton governing the operation of mines. The resolution was final ly adopted and transmitted to the house. Senator Holland introduc- ed a bill regulating the practice of dentistry, as asked by the state as sociation, which was read once. The Pindall bill providing for applica- ton for new trial ill court vacation was passed.
 While the senate was hammer ing on the Gam bill the opposing forces to the Duoic- Wilmington bill in the house had til floor and they were making hay while the sun shone, by flibustering methods succeeding in keeping the propo- sition from a vote during the en- tire afternoon.

BRITISH PREMIER IS
FOR IRISH HOME RULE
Asquith, in Notable Speech,
Declares Policy of the Lib
eral Party.

London. Dec. 15.-At a monster meet
ing last night In Albert hall Herbert
Henry Asquith, the British prime min
lister, laid down the policy on which the
liberal government is appealing to the
country. He repeated what had been
said by other ministers-that if 1t were
returned to power the government
would demand the Limitation of the
power OF the house of lords-and then
went a step farther and pledged that
the liberal party would grant self gov
eminent to Ireland.
Every corner of the hall had been
searched during the day for women,
and q small band of them was routed
out. but they managed to get two male
supporters into the meeting who in
terrupted Mr.. Asquith momentarily
with cries of votes for women" Then
they were promptly elected.
speaking last year before the Access
sion OF the premiership" Mr.. Asquith
said. II described the Irish policy as
he one undeniable failure of British
craftsmanship. / repeat tonight what
l Said then and on behalf of my coll
eagues. and / believe on behalf of my
party. / reiterate that this is a prob
lem to be solved only in one way-by
q policy which, while explicitly safe
guarding the supreme, indivisible au-
thority of the imperial parliament, can
set up IN Ireland a system of full self
government as regards purely Irish af-
fairs. There is not and cannot be any
question of separation. There is not
and cannot be any question of rivalry
or competing for supremacy subject to
these conditions. That is the liberal
DOlicy."

to you and expect, because they did
recommend you, that you owe them
something in the way Of help in their
congressional election.
You have got to select the men who
you think will do the work, and If you
catch them doing political work / wish

ARMY MEN Object
TO PHYSICAL TEST
General Bell, in His Annual
Report, Intimates It Will
Be Changed.

Washington, Dec. 14.-How deter
mined army officers are to procure
notifications of the Roosevelt physi-
cal tests, was shown today in the an
nua report of General J. Franklin Bell,
chief Of staff.
Riding tests n physical training
should not be abolished" says he, but
conditions connected Herewith can I'M
doubtedly be improved"
He that notifications of
the system, suggested by experience,
shortly will be made to the secretary
of war. While General Bell does not
outline what these notifications will
be, 1t is believed they will provide that
officers serving in the tropics and Of
ficers about to retire on account of age
shall be excused from taking the tests
n possibly for providing horses for
detached officers to use in taking
monthly exercises.
No increase in the strength OF the
army is recommended at this time.
General Bell, however, asks for extra
officers to take the place OF the 709
officers absent from their COM
mands on detailed duty.
A most important matter for the gen.
eral welfare OF the country. General
Bell says, Is the passage Of a compre-
hensive measure for the organization
of a volunteer army to be raised only
after congress has made a declaration
of war.
