ARKANSAS S0[ONS IN A BAD TANG[E

Little Rock, Ark, June 2.-Today served only to further entangle the Arkansas legislative situation. Yester- day 17 members of the state senate revolted from the ruling of President Toney in declaring an adjournment un- til within five minutes of the time set for final adjournment. Saturday morn- ing, and continuing in session, voted to recall the resolution providing for sine die adjournment. Seventeen Is one less than a quorum, but today the mem- Der needed was won over and the Is met and adopted a resolution declaring MT. Toney's office vacant and. elected w. C. Rodgers as his successor Then the journal was called for so that cor rections could be made in the record, but it was missing. Speeches in criti- cism of Toney followed He was ac- cused of piacticing gag and "gavel rule" Another session was planned for this afternon, but less than a quorrm was present and adjournmen was taken until tomorrow.
 The controversy is because of diff fering opinions as to the wisdom of Governor Donaghey's legislative pro gramme. The governor insists that cer- tain legislation be enacted. Senator Toney and his followers are equally as insistent in their opposition and so far the proposed measures have failed of adoption.
 Tonight both sides claim the balance of power. Governor Donaghey has de- clared that he will recognize the in surgent" faction and Senator Toney sends word from his home in Pine Bluff that he is coming back tomorrow and will put thing in order" The insur- gents say. they will stand by the pres ent organization. Both Factions pro- pose meeting tomorrow morning, 'the insurgents" however, are several hours in advance of their opponents.

WILSON ISSUES A WARN|NGIOP PRESS Speaks on Concentration of Nations Wealth Into
 Few Hands

Columbia, s. C., June 2.-Gov. Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey, speaking tonight before the state convention of the South Carolina Press association, pointed out the dangers of the concentration in a few hands of the nations wealth. He warned the editors that their duty was not only to comment upon the workings of the system with a capital s. but also to reveal to the people what these activities were and what they signified The law yers of the country, he said, are the men who must solve the difficulties, and added "and I believe they will have sense enough to do so.'
 Governor Wilson said that the country is menaced by wave of socialism, un- less some steps are taken to unlock the double -bolted doors of opportunity.
 Speaking of the dangers of combinations of capital, Governor Wilson said:
 What is it that we are afraid of? Tn the first place we thought some years ago that what we were principally afraid of was the deliberate violation of re- straint of trade and restraint of every thing that was inconsistent with every thing against the men who made ths combinations and so we passed the anti trust act. and we have ever since then been trying to interpret the meaning Of the antitrust law
 ''rhe trusts are just as much in power now as they were when the supreme court of the United States began to in- terpret that statute. You dissolved the Standard Oil company, but it's power is not dissolved. You dissolved the Amer lean Tobacco company, but some how it's grip continues to be felt in it's constituent parts in our several communities.
 q would that every newspaper in the country would publish the circumstances of it's own locality assit knows 1t in order that we may see what exactly it is that we have to fear, and there is great deal to be feared-not fear as those who fear when they think themselves defense less, but as those fear who fear only ignorance and who are sure when they
 know they can take care. of themselves. for l am not afraid that the American people will not know of remedies for the evils so soon as it distinguishes what those evils are. I am, therefore, eager that the American people should be minutely informed surely that is the duty of the press, and gentlemen of the press, there are opportunities in your own com. munity.'

New Rules for Fighting Mosquitoes
rom the Philadelphia Inquirer.

from the Phllauelpnia Inquirer.
 Last weeks warm weather had the effect of inducing the advance guard of mosquitoes to come out and begin their tiendish practices. They were not in good form and the weather mans change of heart put quetus on them, but the incident serves to call attention to the fact that the dread enemy Is soon to be with us and we must prepare for eventualities.
 Fortunately, paternal government has been working the problem for some time and with results which ought to be salutary That eminent entomolo- gist of the Department of Agriculture, Prof. L. O. Howard, who has killed mosquitoes by billions, has issued some sage advice to those who want protect ion from the pesky insects. While the greater warfare of extinction Is being pressed it is realized that a lot of the critters are left and that sufferers should be helped so far as is possible. Hence few formulae. especially for those who cannot sleep o'nights. A suggestion is made that towel be lightly satuated with prescription composed of one ounce of citronella oil, one ounce of eamphor and half ounce of oil of ce- dar.I If the towel is hung above the. head of the sleeper 1t will keep away mosquitoes for hours, the only difficult " DelHg lHdl lHe IllAluTe lS SO NOldlllc that it exausts. its powers about daylight which is just when many persons suf- fer most from the rapacious attacks of the insects. It appears, however. that in these attitudes most brands of mos quitoes ge weary of watching before that time and depart. It is only that heavy villain Aedes Stegomyia Calopus Meig from the south that never tires, and he is the pirate who carries yellow fever around with him. Fortunately that need not disturb us much
 Another mixture recommended. is one ounce each of castor oil. alcohol and oil of lavender, which is good for those who cannot abide the odor of citronella In the far south one ounce of citronella to four ounces of vaseline is good com pound because it lasts longer than the first mentioned mixture. Although 1t may seem early to speak of the mat ters. it is just as well to be forearmed. The remedies suggested are cheap and easy to apply. In part payment for these free prescriptions Dr. Howard calls an every housekeeper to aid him in ex- terminating the mosquito by seeing that no water Is left open wherein mosqui- toes may breed He is convinced that in a short time the plague would be exterminated if individuals and munic- lpalities would only take little pains at

CASTRO PLANNING
 ANOTHER REVOLT Whereabouts of the Exiled
 President Is Mystery LEGAZPI CLUE FAILS Man Boarded Steamer Who Was Believed to Be Castro, But Dis
 appeared Before Investiga-
 tion Could Be Made

Havana, June 2--The Cuban govern Inent has received what is believed to he authoritative information from Spain that Clpriano Castro, the exiled former president of Venezuela. sailed recently from Cadiz on the steamer Legazpi, which is due here tomorrow on route for Central and South American ports. According to this information Castro is traveling incognito. It is believed also that he is carefully disguised, but it is unlikely he can avoid detection | by the Cuban officials, who will board the Legazpi.
 It is not known whether Castro de- sires to land in Havana or whether tile government would object to his so doing.
 The conjecture is that Castro will en- deavor to conceal his identity while here and proceed on the Legazpi to some port adjacent to Venezuela, prob ably Sabanilla. Colombia. ihe Legazpi passed Morroco Castle at 10 o'clock tonight, but the custom house and health offices being closed, it will be impossible to communicate " ith the vessel until tomorrow.
 Las Palmas, Canary Islands, June D. The police are continuing their search for Cipriano Castro. It Is known that the steamer Legazpi which arrived here lom Cadiz May IS took on board at Cadiz for Sabinilla a clean shaven man who wore blue spectacles and declared he was a priest The Transatlantic Steamship company officials say that this individual was asked if he was Castro, so that the company might ac ccrd him such honors as 1t might see fiji because of his previous rank as president of South American republic. The man, however, said he was a Co., 1 )mbian bishop.
 On the arrival of the Legazpi at Las Palmas the man disappeared It Is be- lieved here that he was either Castro or confidante of the ex-president and that he embarked on another steamer, as no trace of him can be discovered here.
 Caracas, Venezuela, June 2.-The Venezuelan government is making dligent search to learn the where abouts of Cipriano Castro, the former president of this republic now in ex- He. The government claims to have
 knowledge that Castro is planning revolution against the administration of President Gomez.
 Washington, June 2-The latest ad vices of the state department indicate that Castro, the exiled president of Venezuela, Is in Lisbo. The department
 is closely watching his movements and relying upon the operations of other governments to prevent his return to venezuela.
