 THE FRATERN|T|ES Floods of Oratory Spilled in The House Over Bill of
 Non Fraternity Man
WOULD REPEAL A LAW
Fraternity Men Defend the "Frats'' But the Barbs Were Victorious
 By Vote of fl to p.
International News Special

Little Rock, March 31.--After a fierce struggle between the Greeks and the Barbs, the House of Repre- sentatives decided by vote of fl to 27 that tn Barbarians were victors in the fight to abolish the fraternities in the University of Arkansas The bill introduced in the Senate by Senator Arthnr Johnson, of Lincoln county, a former non-fraternity man and passed by that body was called up in the House friday afternoon and was a signal for the unloading of floods of oratory of the most fiery character
 The fight for the bill, which seeks to repeal the anti-fraternity law pass ed in 1891, was led by University men Messrs Ragon, Jones, of Pulaski, and Thweatt, who made eloquent speeches pleading for justice to the fraternities and pointing out that only nine of the students of the University ha6 refused to sign a, peti- tion for the repeal of the law. They declared tat harmony exists between the fraternity and non-fraternity men. That there are less than two hundred fraternity men in the school that Pres ident Tillman favors te fraternitles and that the present law denies the students who are members any class or military honor. The advocators of the bill contended that the frater- mites do not discriminate against the roor boy as such, and are in every way helpful rather than detrimental.
 The opposition to the bill was led by Davis, of Columbia, and Hatchett' of Van Buren, who declared that the fraternities are harmful in the ex- treme, and, f not abolished, should he restricted as the existing law pro- yiGes

make investments in Pine Bluff and es the city grows in size and import ance in a commercial way, it will probably need more hotels and mora business houses. Pine Bluff is now on the forward march. It could use more railroads and probably would benefit from more business houses, but it matters not when the railroads come, the people who have property here have faith in Pine Bluff. If Pine Bluff continues to grow as it has done in the past few years the rail- roads will come without the asking and without the customary demand for bonuses. The new hotel will be re- sponsible for many improvements and it should be given every encourage ment and the public generally should cooperate with the men who are do- ing so much to make Pine Bluff a great city.

 There is no doubt now but that Pine Bluff will get the big hostelry and one that will compare favorably with any of the larger and beautiful struc- lures in other cities, even larger than Pine Bluff.

ROBIN ADMITS GUILT
Former New York Banker En-
ters Plea in Court.

Joseph G. Robin, the former New
York banker and f lan cier, entered a
plea of guilty in the supreme court to
the charge of grand larceny of $2O7.-
00Q from the Washington Savings
bank
Although a jury selected after two
days tedious work was ready to try
the indicted banker, reports persisted
before the conyening of court that the
necessity of placing the evidence in
the case before the jurymen would be
obviated by his plea.
A consultation of Robins counsel
and friends, it was said, had resulted
in the conclusion that an insanity plea
would not stand, inasmuch as one jury
has already, despite unanimous medi-
cal testimony to the contrary, declared
the fallen banker sane.
Robin, whose financial operations
caused the closing of three banks, in
cluding the Northern bank, the main
stay of his chain of financial institu-
tions, is accused of misappropriating
in all $207,00 from the Washington
Savings bank, of which he was presi-
dent.

The senate was startled during the
night to find that the general deficien.

reimburse Senator Lorimer for ex.
penses incurred in defending his rights
to seat in the senate. How it got
there no one could explain. The mo.

The youngest member OF the house
in appearance, his step the sprightli

last day as speaker of the Republican
house with a ringing declaration OF
his vigon and alertness. All night the
speaker had ranged through the house
chamber and lobbies, sitting for time
at the clerks desk to sign bills that had
been passed. poking fun at members
who had gone to sleep on the lounges
and in the chairs and taking an occa-

pirate programme was rendered BIZ
the students Of the public school,

ie9e In Joint exercises in memory Of
the women Of the Confederacy.
Dr. P. l. Lipsey, pastor Of the Bap-
ust Church, conducted the devotional
exercises.
Prof. H. T. Sproles, gunner in
"ohords battery, paid a magnificent
tribute to the women of the Confed-
eracy, noted with much pathos her
bravery and endurance in the home,
sometimes on the field guiding the
generals in unfamiliar country, her
work in the hospital, and the great
work she performed after the war in
rebuilding a devastated country and
in rearing her orphan children.
President Lowery was then intro
duced, who spoke feelingly of the
noble impulse which is prompting
the schools of Mississippi to place
wonan's monument in front of the
new capitol. MY fathers picture
hangs in the hall of fame, and it ought
to hang there, but where is my
mother's picture? She was as brave
and heroic as was her heroic hus-
bard, but she moved in a silent and
obscure field. l say let us raise this
shaft, and raise # high"
A collection was then taken which
was most generously responded to.

PRINTERS ON STRIKE.
Chicago Morning Papers Pub
bIish Abbreviated Forms.

All papers in Chicago included in the
American Newspaper Publishers as
sociation came out in abbreviated
form, consisting Of only four pages,
and the early editions of the evening
papers were not issued at all.
This inconvenience to the reading
public was brought about through
dispute between the publishers of the
Chicago Examiner and the Chicago
American, Hearst papers, and the
printers, over a cut in wages. The
printers on these two papers struck.
AS the Examiner was able to issue
only a four-page paper the other pa
pers in the association did likewise,
this being one OF the rules of the
American Newspaper Publishers as
sociation. In a statement the newspa-
pers say:
This strike was ordered In viola
ton of the most binding contract and
agreement to refer any and all mat
ters in dispute to the standing commit
tee for settlement. In taking this ac-
ton, the printers union violated its
own bylaws as WelI as ltS contract
and arbitration agreement"
A meeting of Chicago Typographical
Urion No. 16 was called at once to
take action on the matter
At the union meeting the strike
was declared off on recommendation
of the executive council of the Inter-
national Typographical union. All the
papers have resumed their normal
size again.

MILLION WILL PERISH
Or. Samuel Cochran Predicts
Many Deaths in China.

Plague and famine sweeps China.
Known deaths from the plague num-
Der 10000, and, according to official
statistics, the death rate averages 200
daily. Several thousand die every day
OF famine. But the officials have little
knowledge of the conditions in the
interior, or, if they have, they are not
permitting the facts to be known.
There are few foreigners in the inter-
ior, and conditions there for this rea-
son are not attracting much public at
tention.
1t is impossible even to estimate the
number of deaths that have resulted
from lack of food. Dr. Samuel Coch
ran, an American, who is engaged in
the work of relief, writes
"One million people will die before
the first crop is harvested. This will
be scanty, because the people have
not the strength to till the soil, and no
animals remain for plowing."
