 Washington, March 4.-Joseph w. Bailey( United States Senator from Texas, today marched up the hill and then march down again
 Piqued by the repudiation of his leadership by his fellow Democrats, MT. Bailey angrily wired his resigna- tion to Governor Colquitt. There followed a comic opera struggle in which half dozen of Bailey's friends sought to restrain him the while the Texan protested at the Democratic party and forevermore it must do without him. Then he re- tented and tonight the Senatorial to- ga is folded about him as snugly as ever.
 It is said now that the basis for Bailey's resignation was his unwll- lingness to stand for the type of Democracy enunciated by Senator Owen. Senator Bailey tonight with drew his resignation at the urgent request of Colonel Colquitt, of Texas.
 Bailey's pride of leadership suffer- ed crushing blow and his false theories of Democracy was trailed in the dust. Twice within the week, once on the Lorimer case, and now on the issue of the recall, his party associates had declined to follow him. White with rage, he made his final play. Siezing sheet of paper. he hurriedly wrote letter of resigna- tion and sent it to Vice President Sherman. Sherman declined to ac- cept his resignation. Bailey then wired the resignation to Governoi Colquitt, in Texas.

WAS OVER OFFICIALS
Little Rock High Five Withdrew From Floor When Referee
 Is Named.

Warren. March 4.-(SpeciaD-The state basketball tournament to decide the championship among High School class teams of the state closed here tonight with Jonesboro Woodland College holding the championship cup under protest from the Little Rock High School, which was entered this morning after miscarriage in the plans for the game between the Lit tie Rock High School and Warren Training School, which was schedul- ed for this morning.
 Woodland College, of Jonesboro, defeated the Warren Training School in the last game of the tournament here tonight by score of 29 to 20 This game gave Woodland College the championship of the state, according to the official plans, but the protest from the Little Rock High will have to be heard before the championship is definitely settled.
 Eighteen teams of various High Schools and colleges entered the tour nament Friday. Games were played to select the four teams to contest for the championship The second day of the tournament opened this morn ing with woodland College, of Jones' boro, and the Crossett High School playing a game. The Jonesboro team won by score of 32 to 29.
 When the game between Warren Training School and Little Rock High School was called there was some hitch as to who the officials of the game would be. When Presl- dent Longstreth, of the State Basket ball Association, anonunced that he would referee the game, the Little Rock boys withdrew from the floor and refused to play, protesting the ar engagements for officials. President Longstreth in the capacity of referee forfeited the game to the Warren Training School.
 This act, with the exception of the Little Rock High protest, left the championship of the state hanging between Woodland College, of Jones' boro, and the Warren Training Col lege. The outcome of the game to- night established Woodland College as the state champions. It is. ex- pected that the protest of the Little Rock team will be heard at an early date
 i The tournament was one of the largest and most successful ever held | in the state.

International News Special
 Washington March 4-The last filibuster of a filibustering Senate was most striking and dramatic. It was Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, who held that body's attention for seven- ty-five minutes and at one time threatened to last until the Sixty-first Congress died out.
 Owen was fighting for Arizona and the Arizona constitution. New Mexi- co.'s constitution had been received and its reactionary provisions, were acceptable to the President and the Republican majority, and New Mexico was about to be admitted alone.
 Incidentally Owen declared that the Senate was about to admit New Mexico because it would add two Re- publican senators to the list and he refused to see Arizon excluded, be- cause its admission would bring in two Democratic senators.
 Senators were in terror over in- diyidual bills and many of them ap- pealed to him to cease his speech in behalf of Arizona and allow other business to be taken up, but to no
