That keen interest is being taken by the ladies of Arkansas in the mat ter Of selecting a state flag, an idea which originated through the Pine Bluff Chapter, D. A.

Senate Passes Resolution, Bnt Op' position Wins Out In Lower
 Branch.

Washington, Dec 9.-Mrs. Martin w. Littleton's pet project for the ap- pointment of committee to consider the advisability of the acquisition by the government of Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson, now owned by Representative Jefferson Levy, of New York, was rejected ln the House today by a vote of Al to 1O1. The Senate passed the resolu- tion unanimously. A number of members championed Mrs. Little toms cause and fervid speeches in favor of the resolution were made by Chairman Henry, of the Rules Committee; Senator Elect Ollie James, and Representative Stanley, of Kentucky, and Judge Clayton.
 Representative Dalzell, of Penn sylvania, led the opposition to the discussion on the ground that there should be no ccnfiscat on of personal property without government need or necessity. Representative Moore, or Phiiadelp phia, suggested that if the government took Monticello it also acquires Independence Hall, the Betsy Ross nome, Mt. Vernon, the Hermitage and other historic build ings and grounds. After the vote h.d been taken MT. Henry issued this sta.ern ent:
 GAS a Democratic representative from Texas l am now more deter m ned than ever to preserve the n,emcTy of Jefferson by the acqulsl- ton of Monticello and even resort to the right of em nent domain, if neces- sary. I shall stand with that brave little woman, Mrs. Littleton, in her courageous fight in this righteous cause. The fight nas just begun"

In fact, he was instrumental in bring

Chance Deal Shows HARMONY
Between Two Big Leagues

An interesting feature in connec-
ton with the multiplicity of trades
that were necessary to make Frank
Chance manager of the Highlanders
is that for the first time since the
baseball war the American and Ma
tional Leagues are really trying to
help each other out.
Five years ago anything that gave
an intimation of strengthening a
team in the rival league was prompt
ly blocked. Time proved that the sec
ond ma ior league, instead of being a
detriment, has really been of benefit
to the National. In cities where there
are two teams one kept the interest
stimulated while the other was away
and the patronage, instead of being
cut down, according to the strength
or weakness of the rival clubs, in
creased enormously.
When the Highlanders broke into
New York they were regarded as in
terlopers and enemies to the old
league, and National League men
looked upon their partial failure with
