the prisoner, has asked a committee
of physicians to observe the man in
Jail for two or three days and then
to make a report of his condition to
the court. The lunacy action will
then be disposed Of.

MEETING IS HELD
International News Special


 New York, Feb. 9.-A few keeli rays of publicity filtered today through the dense fog of corporation silence that settled over Wall Street, fol- lowing the report that the interests" are at work to obtain control of the great magazines as we'll as the chief distributing agencies for the publica- tions of this sort and the daily news papers.
 During the week, beginning Jan- uary 23, two important conferences were held in the Wall Street neigh borhood, at which this plan for action was drawn up.
 At this meeting were representa- tives of the interests which are ac- cused of the new attempt to subsid- ize and control publications and their methods Of distribution to the public
 There were present corporation lawyers, representatives of several railroads and a number of prominent bankers and officials of bond and brokerage houses. And it was also reported that syndicate had been Quietly engaged in purchasing out right or where that failed, the control of vast majority of the chief trade papers of the United States. 1.
 During the day fl was officially de- nied at the offices of the American News Company, the great distributing agency or middle-man between the magazines and newspapers and the public, that one dollar of stock had been acquired by Wall Street or any other corporation interest.&a.
 Treasurer Edward w. Johnson, of the American News Company, made an emphatic denial of the report that hundreds of. thousand of copies Of Hampton's magazine had been with held from circulation by his company in order to prevent circulation of a story concerning the Standard Oil Company.

NOT HIN G DON G

Fl Paso; Texas, Feb. 9.--It was a nice, pretty little war, that blossom ed under the sunshine of the space writers out West and by carefully fostering it became quite a peach of a scrap, but for two days the frost of innocuous desuetude of arms has at tackled it's bloom and it has withered into an apple of sodom as far as news is concerned.
 While it is impossible that the h. surrectos may S cceed in making a showing all the indications point to their having lost their opportunity of having taken Jaurez and for a pro- longed continuance of the forging that they call war.
 We have had General Nevarro's S train blown up and his force wiped out fifteen times since last midnight but from railroad offices, it is learn ed he is eighty-one miles south of . here.
 General Blanco is still joining Oroz- co at dozen places daily. Governor Gonzales said tonight that General Casillas with 250 men had joined Orozco near Las Flores ranch. If this is true it gives Orozco somewhere near a thousand men. Alamis is supposed to ,be within twelve or. r..s if teen miles wftfsa small army. If these officers were in Unison the junction would make them formid- able but there is good basis for the assumption that Blanco and Orozco are at outs and there are rumors among the members of the Insurrec- tos here that there are other jealous les to count with.

People Must Assume Con trol to Protect Political
 Institutions.
FAVORABLE REPORT
Submitted on the Tariff Commission Bill-Democrats Will. Op--
 pose It.
 International News Special

Washington Feb. 9-In the Senate today Senator Bristow spoke in favor of diredts dtselection of senator's. He said the burden of the argument against the proposition is the Ameri- can people, who are not capable of making wise selections of representa- tives. He called attention to the fact that the people now really elect the President by direct vote and that very few can name the electors, because they have had the president in view. Direct elections, said Sena- tor Bristow. would eliminate dead locks and aMequent bribery scandals
 The senator continued with the ar gument that all delegates to national conventions should be elected by di- rect primaries. Great combinations of wealth. said the speaker, have too much influence under the present sys- tenn. The time has come for the people to assume control in order to protect integrity and our political institutions and guard against cor porate greed. Greed and avarice rather than mob rule is the nations greatest peril. The finance com- mittee made 9 favorable report on the Tariff Bill. Senator Bailey, of Texas, gave.anotice that the measure would be fought by the Democrats. Sena- tor. Stafford's amendment fixing the membership of the House at 391, was defeated by vote of 16S to 125. Rep resesAAtfVe Champ Clark made an ur- gent appeal for an increased mem bership. -Four hundred and thirty three members, he said, would not be too large a body and would not cause any confusion or interfere with the dispatch of business.

Governor Donaghey Among the Speakers Meet Soon ate

Little Rock Arkk., Feb. 9.-One question fought shy of by the mem
 bers of the Arkansas State Press As sociation which met in Little Rock Wednesday, was the liquor laws of the state. An effort was made to have the editors declared as being opposed to the Hughes bill which pre- vents liquor concerns from advertis- ing in prohibition county papers, and asking for it's repeal. This. matter was put up to the resolution commit tee. which refused to pass upon it., so no action was taken. Most of the editors were for freedom of the press, contending they can take whatever advertising they see fit, but as most = them would accept liquor, they declined to go into the subject. The association endors- ed the Confederate Reunion, the Land Congress. and also adopted resolu- tions commenting the Western News paper Union in making A. D. Murlin, one of the best known newspaper men of Arkansas, it: new manager. The executive committee decided i1' favor of Fl Dorado for the spring meeting
 place, and this meeting will prob ably be held May 24, 9 and 26, though it may be moved up enc day i'll order to allow the editors the last three
 days of the week for their annual excursion to Arkansas towns. It
 will probably be arranged so that the editors will visit Magnolia, Hamburg,
 Monticello. Lake Village, Arkansas City, and from there to go to Helena
