SENATOR SEES LOBBYISTS
IN SENATE GALLERY

Washington, Jan. 14.1"I do not
believe the Alaska railway bill will
be delayed in passing the Senate, -
said Mr.. Chamberlain yesterday when
the Senate resumed debate Ola the
measure. Still the interests OPP
posed to- opening the territory by a
government railroad are strongly
represented here. I saw several
faces in the gallery yesterday, those
of men allied with such interests,
and they certainly are here for a
purpose.
Senator Chamberlain expected to
conclude his argument today. He ex-
pressed the opinion that no serious
effort would be made to amend the
bill for the mining and sale of Alas
kan coal by the government. Sena-
tors Burton and Bankhead are plan
ming to oppose the bill.

Rum0r To the Effect That He Had
Been Killed Created .
Sensation Here

Rum0rs circulated over Pine Bluff
yesterday to- the effect that w. A.
Matthews. Of the firm of W.. a. .dat-
thews & Co., had been killed at Nc
Gehee, caused much anxiety ON the
part of his friends and acquaint-
aaces aad not until he returned here
late in the afternoon were they as
sured that no harm had come to him.
The rumor had been particularly
credited because it was known that
he had left this city on his way to
Lake village on q business trip.
The circumstances surrounding
the runner are rather peculiar. how
ever. and gained ground because OF
the fact that Frank Haley was gill
ed Tuesday night at McGehee. He
was killed by City Marshall Ed Hud-
dleton. The tragedy occurred, how
ever, before Mr.. Matthews had de-
parted from Pine Bluff. Arriving
at McGehee he, like many others
went to the scene where Halley's re-
mains had been taken, and some one
in speaking to Mr.. Matthews, call
ing his name. gave the impression
that the dead man was named Mat
tAews. It was through this nseans
that the report drifted to Pine Bluff

no confirmation of this.
Mrs. Young and Mr.. Trahan will
remain in Pine Bluff until it is GER

keep up the search until he is found.

will be instituted for him.
