NO WORD COMES
 FROM T0RREoN

Laredo. Tex. March 3O-A federal military train was hur. riedly sent south from Nuevo Laredo bearining the Ninth In fantrv and some other troops. Their destination was not an. nounced. Meanwhile confirmed reports reached here that fight ing was in progress about 4e miles south of Nuevr Laredo. It was thought that endorsements for the Nuevo Laredo garrison may have met opposition and were trying to fight their way through that city city.
 The special war tax levied on all Mexican redorts eight months ago. was withdrawn at Nuevo Laredo today. It amounted to from 3:to 10, per cent in addition to regular duties.

NO OPINION IS HANDED DOWN
 ON LIQUOR LAW

The Supreme Court did not hani down an opinion in the case of Mcclure vs Topf and Wight deciding the constitutionality of the Going liquor law. Many persons were of the opinion that the court would take immediate action on the case and announce the opinion today.
 The court has not indicated when an opinion on the constitut- ionality of the law can be expect ed. However it is thought on ac- count of the interest in the law law over the state and the fact that on the decision of the court depends whether many of the counties in Arkansas shall have saloons, the court is expected to hand down an opinion by at least next Monday.

but his death came as shock to the entire city.
 The deceased was one of the most prominent men in Prescott, having been connected with the Ozan Lumber Go. and many ot- her business institutions of the. town. Mir. Bemis had been and was at the time of his death a member of the city council. and was a most useful member of that body.
 Mr. Bemis was born in Clinton Iowa November 30th, 1863 ard has spent the greater portion of his life in the South. He came. to Prescott some time in the year of 1894 and has made this place his home since that time. Novi ember 14th 1900 he was married to Miss Ethel Norvelle McRae. :. daughter of Hon. and Mrs. T. C. McRae.
 He is survived by his wife and seven children: Thomas McRae. Bemis, Douglas Knox Bemis,s James Hervey Bemis, Horrce E. Bemis Jr., Norvelle B e m s.. Amelia Bemis, Mildred Bemis and his parents, James Hervey Bemis and Mrs. Hannah Bemis, two brothers, w. F. Bemls and J. W. Bemis, of St. Louis.
 His remains were buried in DeAnn Cemetery Thursday af- ternoon at 3 o'clock. The be- reaved family and friends have ,he sympathy of the entire town.

CLARKE ELECTED
 KIRBY SAYS FIRST
 RETURNS CORRECT
CLAIMS CERTIFICATE FROM POINSETT IS NOT PROPERLY Y
 SIGkED AND IS ILLEGAL
Talk of Contest Grows

When the last official figure on the senatorial race was received at the Gazette Office Tuesday night, the totals showed 135, ,S17 votes cast of which Clarke re- ceivrd 68,034 and Kirby 67,793. Clarke is nominated by a ma jority of 231.
 These figures lhave been col lected with the greatest care by the Gazette and are believed to be absolutely correct. If any errors ha e been made they are errors occaring in transmission. But in nearly every case the f. gures have neen confirmed and rechecked. IT is not thought that the vote as canvassed by the State Cent,al Committee will show any material difference from the sGazette's figures un- less thes Poinsett figures should be changed as the Kirby people declare they should be changed.
 The change in the totals this morning is largely due to the official vote from Poinsett county although minor changes were made in the votes of Baxter, Cleveland and Lincoln which were given in the Gazette table Tuesday as complete but unoffi- cial. when the official on these counties was received and i'll the vote of Fulton and L n o k e counties. The Lonoke county vote was given yesterday morn- ing as 1, ,067 for Clarke and 487 for Kirby. These figues were given as official. but were cor rected last night by the addition of 13 votes to clark. This error it is thought was made in trans. hitting the vote by wire. Gazette

4 BIG FIRE AT

in the Senate and length of time for discussion, the oklahoma senator sad.
 It is natural to assume that if the committee does not report promptly a motion will be made to discharge the measure from consideration of the committee. There IS to be no effort at fore ing unnecessarily, but we want no dilatory tactics. The commit tee stands, l should say agains, the President. and l think when the committee was organized those who were in favor of the tolls exemption were in the ma- jority.
 A week in the committee would be a reasonable time for discuss ion.
 The President had no comment to make on the result in the House, out let 1t be known that cherished no ill-feeling over those who expressing their convictions opposed the repeal. There was no comment made on the speech of speaker Clarke,

The count as announced last night, was 161 votes against t it but the name of Representative Dyer. Republican, of St. Louis who voted against the repeal was omitted in the list.
 Gratified over the success of the Panama tolls exemption in the House, President Vision and his supporters turned their atten- tion today to the senate.
 The latest poll brought to the  White House ny an administrat. ion senator, who lcanvassed his colleagues and excluded from his count those he considered doubt ful, indicated that the Presidents s measure would have a majority of at least sixteen, including Re. publicans as well as Democrats.

MONEY DRAWN IN
FIRST WAR SCARE
BEING RETURNED
TO BANKS OF N. Y.
Reassured Development
In the Financial
Situation

New York, Aug. 19-An interesting
development in the financial situation
today was the evidence that con-
siderable portion of the money taken
from local banks during the early
alarm caused by the foreign crisis is
flowing back into normal channels.
Much of this money was withdrawn
by merchants and manufacturers, who
feared a possible scarcity of cash to
meet pressing obligations, mainly
payrolls. This return flow is largely
Offset, however, by the increasing de-
mands of interior banks.
The West is calling on this center
for money to meet it's crop moving
requirements, the South showing in
creasing insistence for cash to handle
cotton.
Planters Of cotton recently received
material assistance from local insti-
tutions, but this, it now appears, was
sufficient only to meet q small part of
their needs. Already there is talk of
redeeming some of the emergency cur
rency. However, with money at to
8 per cent. as against the per cent.
charged for this currency for the first
three months, there is little likelihood
that these notes will be redeemed I'M
til the latter part of the year, if then.
Exchange brokers reported some
business from Berlin today drafts be-
ing issued in triplicate. That is, bills
were issued direct to that center and
by way of Holland and Italy in the
hope of reaching the German capital,
where some of our debts are soon to
mature. Rates on London were higher
than yesterday, with a smaller volume
of business.
Crop prospects were somewhat i'm
proved over New York by needed rains
in the corn belt, but in certain sections
of the Northwest, the rainfall came
too late to benefit conditions.
General trade advices were again
conflicting, some more steel mills fol-
lowing the lead of the larger indie
pendents in advancing prices, while
others engaged in special lines are
working on shorter time and other
wise curtailing.

Washington, Aug. 19.-Comprehensive
plans were mapped out by the admins
tration today for building up the Ameri-
can merchant marine with government
money for the immediate transportation
of the products of the United States to
the warning nations of Europe and to
South and Central America.
President Wilson, in consultation with
Democratic leaders of the Senate and
House. approved a project contemplating
the expenditure OF approximately s25, 900, :
900 for the purchase of ocean going ves-
sells. to be operated under the direction
of government shipping board in carry
ing on foreign trade of the United States.
Government insurance of American
ships and cargoes against the risks of
war would be provided for in bill SUBJ
mitted to Congress today after it had
been approved by the President
The bill would create temporary bu-
reau of war risk insurance in the treas
ury department and would appropriate
100000 for the payment of losses and
100000 for the operation of the bureau.
The plans agreed on for the purchase
by the government of ships include the
creation Of a shipping board to be COM
posed of the President, the secretary OF
the treasury. the secretary of commerce
and the postmaster general, to have
charge of securing the needed ships and
fitting them out.
1t is proposed to use the ships prfnci-
pally In this foreign trade, and the ad-
r'inistratton hopes that through this me.
dunn great impetus will be given to the
trade between South and Central Amert.
ca.
The present plan is to secure the neces.
sary money to carry out the project by
the sale Of Panama canal bonds Admin
istration leaders expect that the venture
will prove profitable
1t is planned to organize a company
similar to the Panama Railway Co., con.
trolled by the government, for the actual
| operation of the ships after they have
been purchased.
The President was In conference 70,
several hours with Secretary McAdoo
Senators Clarke and Simmons and Repre-.
sentatives Underwood and Alexander
The war risk insurance bill was approx
ed at the meeting. The President was
told that it would be almost impossible
to move the exports of the United States
unless the government stepped In and he
finally gave his consent to the scheme.
The question of how long the govern
ment will keep the purchased vessels aft
er the present crisis passes ha not been
taken up. 1t has been suggested, how
ever that some of them may be retained
for use as transports.
