Washington, March 1.-The Su- preme Court today granted restrain ing order to prevent Postmaster Gen. eral Burleson from enforcing the newspaper publicity law, while the court has under consideration it's con- stitutionality.
 The injunction was granted upon a request last week by Robert c. Nor ris, attorney for the New York Jour nal of Commerce, which has attacked the validity of the act. Postmaster General Burleson had notified him that newspapers which had not filed statements required by the law would be penalized.
 The Supreme Court today announc- ed that it would take recess after next Monday until April '. The court did not announce a decision in the State rate cases or other important cases today.

Work Will Not Be Begun Before Next Year ts Present Needs Are
 Not Urgent.

For the purpose of erecting a school building within the next year the Pine Bldff School Board at a spec ial meeting recently purchased the block of ground at the corner Ot Twenty-fourth avenue and Linden street.
 The property was purchased from the 'Parkview Land Company and the consideration was $3,200. While the demands for school building in that vicinity are not at the present time urgent, nevertheless it is the opinion of the members of the school board that within the next year it will be necessary to erect modern school building in this vicinity for the accom- modation of the young people of thai district No arrangements have as yet been made for the erection of a building, the Board merely buying the property while plenty of funds are II the treasury dllu WHllc tiiC oPPoi ."A- ity presents itself.
 The erection of modern schoo building in this vicinity and on thls site, will no doubt be a great help te that portion of the city and would be great accommodation to the schoo children who live in that district. Tht nearest school building to this corner is the Lakeside School, which IS H blocks away.
 The plans for the erection of this building are still tentative and the question will be taken up at an earl! date by the Board. According to the members, however, no work Will Dt done for probably year but when thf building is finally erected it Will De modern one throughout.

But Will Not Discuss His Appointment as Ambas-
 sador to France.
HE HAD OTHER PLANS
{ contemplated thr Reorganization of the Party From the Ground lp---
 Plans Not Favored.

New York March 17.-Willam F. McCombs, chairman of the Democratic National Committee. has accepted the ambassadorship to France under pro test. This is what is known to his friends, but Mir McCombs refused to talk about if tonight. In fact he i'm murred himself in his apartments at the Hotel Vanderbilt and refused to either receive reporters or answer telephone calls
 "I have nothing to say about it." was all he would say to a close friend who met him in the Wall street dis trict, soon after the announcement had come from Washington. that un- der the urging of President Wilson. he had reconsidcrcd his dcclnation of the post
 Only last week he told several friends of an elaborate scheme of l party organization which would keep him busily engaged until the close of | the Wilson administration It was f Tbecause of this he stated, that he de 1 cided to decline the offer of the post ] of Paris.
 1 1t is known now that the president disapproved of Mr. McCombs organ ization plans, one of the features of
 which was to organize the party
 from the White House down to the precinct committeeman in every, nook
 and corner of the country.
 It is also hinted that William J.
 Bryan did not look with favor on the McCombs plans. He and the Nation- al chairman have never been on friendly terms.
 At the meeting of the National Com mittee, the day of President Wilson's
 inauguration, McCombs outlined his 1 ambitious scheme which met with no 1 open opposition from any quarter. He went so far as to have Thomas J. 1 Pence close friend of Secretary Jos. 1 Daniels, elected publicity agent with l instructions forthwith to open branch headquarters in Washington and be- gin actively the work of agitating the new plan Naturally, the news found it's way quickly to the White House and also to the state department.
 Within few days after the chair mans purpose became known. an nouncement was made from the White House of Mir. McCombs' selection by the president for Ambassador to France--the sole positive announce 1 ment thus far made of the filling of any diplomatic post.
 In his scheme for political organ 1 ization, Chairman McCombs has plan ned to finance tn reorganization who'll l ly through the party's resources. He l estimated that the cos tOf organizing 1 and of maintaining the organization would be about $3O,0O0 year. This, it is said, who intended to raise by levying tax upon the members of the

STIT DOES NOT INVOLVE
 ALL OF CITY OF HUMPHRE

An article in the Graphic recently concerning a suit filed by Missouri insurance company against Humphrey citizens gave the wrong impression in that it stated that almost the entire town of Humphrey was involved in the suit The town of Humphrey is counties, the smaller part being on the Jefferson county side. This is the property that is mentioned in the suit. That section of the little city on the Arkansas county side has many nice buildings which are not involved in the big suit.

GALL FOR EXTRA
 PLEASES MEMBERS President Leaves it to Con gress What Measures Are
 To Be Considered.
TARIFF COMES FIRST
Bill Will Likely Re Submitted lo Presi- dent Wilson Before il Goes to
 Democratic Caucus.

Washington, March 17-The text of President Wilson's call for the pN- the extraordinary session of Congress to meet April |, pleases members of both Houses. He leaves it to Congress- submitted to the requirements of the public interests that necessitate this extra session.
 The presidents announced policy of taking an active part in the fram- ing of legislation will prevail in the drafting of the tariff schedule which will occupy the attention of the extra session.
 It became known today that the House Ways and Means Committee which is preparing the tariff sched- ule, is willing to submit the complete bill to President Wilson before it is even laid before the Democratic eau GUS and all he has to do is to indicate his wish that such course be fol- lowed.
 It has been decided by the Commit tee to give the president an opportuni- ty of considering the bill before the expected fight in the House develops.
 If the President objects to features of the bill the committee members will thresh them out with him and if necessary will change the bill to meet his view if he refuses to yield. 1t is the intention of the committee to of fer to the House a bill which the president will approve when it is sent to him for his signature.
 Several other tariff developments of interest were disclosed today. In the first place, the committee is almost completely in the dark as to Presi- dent Wilson's views on the tariff and is giving serious consideration to the necessity of formally requesting him to tell just where he stands. The interview, which Chairman Underwood had with the president the other day is said to have been unsatisfactory in as much as the only question dsicuss ed had to do with the length of time needed by the Committee to get the committee in readiness. The brief conference resulted in the presidents call for Congress to convene on April 2, issued today.
 The committee intends to have the bill completed in plenty of time so that it can, if called upon, submit all the schedules to the House as soon as Congress convenes. The question whether this shall be done, or whether the bill will be offered schedule by schedule. will be up to the caucus to decide. In preparing the schedule the committee is proceeding upon the theory unprecedented in tariff leg islation, as giving first consideration to the consumer. The producer, whose viewpoint has been taken heretofore, comes last in the bill now being drawn. In accordance with Demo- cratic doctrines the biggest cuts in the tariff will be made on necessities and the duty on luxuries will be compara- lively high.

pr. Williams on this point


 This discovery was direct refuta- tion of Manning's story but Sheriff Brewster is now of the opinion that Manning did not tell correctly the method he used in killing tha three men.
 Luttrel's body showed no marks of violence whatever. The body of Fred SOmmers, another white man, whom Manning also confessed to killing, is buried in Memphis.
 Despite this contradictory evidence Manning again repeated his confes- sion to brother-in-law of Luttrell and to Rev. Otto Mathis. assistant pas tor of the First Baptist church.
