and to decide whether a crop shall be
grown In 1911 or whether TO more white
Burley tobacco shall be planted until 1872
The districts can produce only white Bur-
ley tobacco. which is In demand for the
highest grades OF smoking and chewing
tobaccos. and these states are the only
ones in the Union that produce this par
ticular tobacco. They grow annually
more than 30ooooo0o pounds. and nearly
10000 growers will be affected BY what
ever the convention decides upon.
The BuTiey Tobacco Society. formerly
branch OF the American Society OF
Equity. but which drew away from the
equity society and became an independent
body. did not declare a pool for the 1910
crop. Most of its members are In favor
OF having no crop in 1911. asserting thai
one years lapse OF growing would force
q much higher price for the 1912 crop
And there Is another reason-sOO0, OOC
pounds Of the 1909 pool remain unsold in
warehouses In Lexington. Louisville and
Cincinnati and nearly the whole 1910 cror
Is also uusoid.

might sound radical, it was not to be a
net expense. 1t was simply an invest

REGULARS COOVER
 !. TO THE DEMOCRATS
Throw Down the Insurgents and Pull Of Sharp Political True --Standpatters Do Some
 Explaining.

Washington. Aug. i7.--Breaking their pledge with the insurgents and rushing into a hastily formed alliance with the regular Republi- cans, the senate Democrats put their own cotton bill through the senate this afternoon.
 Ethically, according to the in surgents, the sudden change in al- lies was indefensible. Politically, lit was sharp and clever. Spectac- |ularly, it provided the finest exhi- bition that has been seen on the senate floor at this session. Events succeeded each other so rapidly |that it was hard to follow them. Senator Cummins' steel and iron schedule, withdrawn temporarily lat the request of the Democrats, was at once introduced as his own measure by Senator Bacon, a Dem Iocrat. Senator Bristols sugar schedule, on which he had worked for months, was introduced as his
 own by Senator Jones of Washing
 ton, a standpat Republican, while
 the Kansan was temporarily absent from the Senate chamber. As in- troduced by Senator Jones, Senator
 Bristow had to vote against his own measure.
 Made the Standpatters Explain. 1 And, most dramatic of all, the
 standpat Republicans, who with
 held their votes in accordance with their agreement with the Demo-
 crats, and thus made possible the
 success of the Democratic meas urc, were forced into the open by
 a clever parliamentary move on tho
 part of Senator Cummins. The Iowa progressive could not make tho
 standpatters vote, but he did com lpel them to explain why they re-
 maincd silent and got permission o1
 the senate to refrain from voting Those who did not choose or dart
 to attempt such an explanation fec
 from the senate chamber before
 their names could be called.

NEW REVENUE LAW
 ANTEDATES I.&R,
Arkansas State Tax Commission Holds View That the Turner Jacobson Revenue Law
 Is Effective.

Little Rock, Aug. f8.-The state ment by the tax commission Thursday that the Turner-Jaacob- son bill could not be referred to the voters of the state under the initiative and referendum has cre- ated quite a bit of excitement among those who were fighting for the reference through petitions in circulation. They will not admit that the tax commission knows all the law in the matter and say they will be ready when the time comes to fight it out in court, the circulating of petitions going mer- rlly on in the meantime.
 It is claimed by the members of the tax commission, and by some prominent attorneys of Little Rock with whom the members consulted, that the Turner-Jacobson bill can fNcN RN ACACAl CQ tO tliC DCOUiC Ut- cause 1t became a law after the initiative and referendum, the lat ter bill being signed by Governor Donaghey two days after the rev. enue measure.
 There are prominent attorneys who claim the initiative and refe- rendum measure went into effect the day it was adopted by the peo- Die of the state as an amendment to the state constitution, and no leg islative act was necessary to make lit legal.
 How the fight is to get into the courts has not yet been decided upon, but it is easy to see that some el tic uiust prominent attGr- neys of Arkansas will be brought into action within a short time, and the Supreme court will be asked Tor an opinion, no matter which way the lower court decides.

BODIES OF DEAD
 FLOAT DOWN RIVER
Rise in Arkansas River Causes Cave-in of Plummcrville Bur- iaI Ground-Coffins Float
 Down Stream.

Little Rock, Aug. lS.--The rise of the Arkansas river has brought a new kind of drift down the stream, aud the bank dwellers, instead of pulling in stray logs, are now catching collins. Reports from Conway and other points state that during the past few days fisher men along the Arkansas river have caught and tied up several con- taining the remains of people evil dently dead for some time.
 The collins vary in size, and are supposed to come from the Port land graveyard, near plummerville, and others located along the river. The recent rise caused caving-in Of the banks and several grave yards have fallen into the treach- erous current.
 Robert Nj. Green of Conway. first noticed a coffin floating down the riNer. It lodged on a sandbar but was later floated away by the ris- ing water. w. NJ. Matthews and Jim Helton were with Green at the time, but the sight was too much for them and they did not make an effort to catch the drifting cofiin.
 Will Hammer, also a resident of Faulkner county. also reported see- ing small coffin floating past the same spot where Green and his companions allowed the larger one to pass.
 Word of the floating collins was conveyed to those who have rela- hves buried in the cemeteries along the bank of the Arkansas within % miles of Conway, and conster- nation reiRned nsa,f;=ffs,T-sii rlrIxer, relatives visited the Portland and other graveyards to find their fears more than realized and the re- mains of their loved ones washed down the river. Rewards havt been offered for the recovery ol several bodies which have beer washed away and fishermen all along the Arkansas are watch. ing for the truant corpses.

LONDON OCCUPIED
 BY AN ARMY
Every Military Precaution Has Been Taken To Prevent Riots--All Traffic Is
 Tied Up.

London, Aug. iS. Fifty thousand troops arrived in London last night and this morning found them camped at points where they were able to protect lines of communica- ton and preserve order in the strike situation. A little group Of uniformed men from the signal corps took station in the dome of st. paul's. from which they kept the different units in touch with the general stan at the war office. The situation was handled accord ing to recent plan for actual war conditions. Scarcely any railways entering London today offered com plete service. Union leaders this afternoon claimed 100000 men had quit work and would be joind by thousands more before night. Con- ditions in the provinces are more serious than in London.
 Liverpool in Chaos.
 The west of England is complete ly cut of. At Manchester business is at a siandstiIl, while at Liverpool chaos was complete. With the ex- cpetion of few incoming trains, all were late and train service at Liverpool is practically suspended. Throughout Wales there was all most a total stoppage Of traffic. As the day progressed more serious reports came ill Strikers took pos session of the railways at Llanelly, Wales, a seaport, and iii fight re- pulsed the police About 200 men on the Caledonia railway went out today, and efforts were made 70 bring about general strike in Scotland.
 So critical does the government regard the strike legislation and so urgent may be the need for instant legislation, the cabinet decided this afternoon that parliament cannot adjourn today, as arranged.
 At Liverpool the Lord Mayor con- ferred yesterday afternoon with 90 of the magistrates and resolved upon issuing the order that all tav-- oTns must close at o'clock D. m, and must shut down hereafter at 2 D. m., until further notice. It was also decided to suppress the sale of beer and other drinks in bottles, SO as to minimize the use of bottles by the rioters as missiles.
 As further precaution the press was requested to avoid sensational headlines that would be likely to incite disorder. Until o'clock the electric light company maintained only limited supply of current for Illuminating purposes. This was accomplished by smuggling men into the power station to replace the regular men, who quit yesterday in sympathy with the strikers. Al 8 o'clock the street car service was suspended and the additional power was diverted to lighting of the streets,
 The streets of the city arc getting into an unbearable condition as the result Of the scavengers uittine work.
