Knowland of California
Makes Serious Charge
Against Wilson.
OVER TOLLS REPEAL
He Declares Secretary to British Am.
bassadOr Held Several Conferences
Sub Rosa at White House.

Washington, March 2S.-The SEN
sation of today's debate on President
Wilson's bill for the repeal of the free
tolls clause of the Panama canal act
was a speech by Representative
Knowland, of California. He cited
dates of alleged secret visits to Presi-
dent Wilson made by Sir Edward
Tyrell, private secretary of the
British foreign minister and quoted
from current facts prove that the
administration pol>y of requiring
coastwise ships to pay tolls through
the canal had been formed since the
dates of these visits. .
Representative Knowland then at
tackled Secretary Bryan and quoted
from speech made at Washington
Park, Pennsylvania, on May Is, 1918,
in which Mr.. Bryan upheld the
sacredness of the party platform. MIR.
Knowland concluded by saluting Sir
Edward Grey as "the greatest diplo-
mat of the age"
The galleries were damned with an
interested, expectant throng. Many had
come hoping to hear Speaker Clark
in the speech which his friends be-
lieve will change any wavering votes,
but that effort is being reserved for
the last hours of the debate. Mr..
Clark's speech will probably be made
next Tuesday.
Next to Representative Knowland's
speech, the Effort of Representa-
tive Fitzgerald of Brooklyn, attracted
the most attention in today's ora
torical fireworks. Mr.. Fitzgerald S
speech was studied and scholarly
argument that the free passing OF
coastwiseships through the canal is
not In violation of any treaty.
Representative Stephens, of Min
nesota, made the strongest argument
of the day in behalf of the Presidents
bill. The English newspaper writer's
who were present were so impressed
that they fastened over to congratu-
late him.

CLARKE EN- CALM

Little Rock, March 20, a. MAS
sociate Justice William F. Kirby now
has a majority of 577 votes over SEN
ator James P. Clarke, and all circum-
stances seem to indicate that the re-
turns yet to be received will only in
crease the Kirby majority. 1t is cal
majority of $500 when the Official
count is made.
Approximately 100000 votes have
been reported, and it is believed there
are yet unreported 5000 votes. This
will bring the total vote cast in the
senatorial race to $4,000, which is in
excess Of the vote in the Davis Brun-
didge contest.
!. Home Counties Help Kirby.
Judge Kirby took the lead when
complete returns from Howard,
Hampstead and Little River counties
were received. The counties adjoin
Miller, Judge .Kirby's home, and gave
the associate justice big majorities.
All reports received yesterday were
from rural districts claimed by Kirby,
whose managers assert the returns
are fully bearing out predictions and
giving majorities to Kirby. Mr.. Trout,
one of Judge Kirby's campaign mana
gers, expresses the belief that the
official count will show more than

The Clark adherents profess they
are not at all worried by the turn of
events. They declare that when the
full returns from mississippi, Desha,
Phillips, Poinsett, Chicot and other
Clark counties are received, the sena-
tor will not only have regained his
former lead but that his majority will
be increased. Senator Clarke's sup
porters declare that Mississippi and
Poinsett will come in with Clark ma
jorities of 1900 each, while the pres
emit returns indicate that he carried
those counties by only 600 EACH Phil

LIQUOR HEARING
almost FINISHED
Testimony of Only Four
Witnesses to Be heard
Monday.
lREMONSTRANTS REST
Only Feature Remaining Now Is Eyi.
dence Regarding Present
Population of Pine Bluff.

With the exception of testimony of
four Witnesses concerning a new
census whic has been taken, the
liquor petition hearing was brought
to close yesterday afternoon. Judge
C. NJ. Philpot announced after he was
assured that there would not be
other witnesses produced, that the
hearing would be taken up again
Monday morning for the purpose of
hearing testimony on the census, and
no more.
The liquor petitioners will have re-
buttal proof to offer and if it is so
desired the remonstrants can intro
duce sur-rebuttal to offset .rebuttal
proof given by the liquor petitioners.
The meeting of the County Conven-
ton, which will convene at the mid
die of the day, Monday, will in that
even cause postponement for the
time of the hearing provided that the
convention does not last for "a great
lenRtn OF time.
In the event this program Is car
ried out as planned, the liquor ques-
ton status SO far as the Going act
is concerned, may be settled by the
Supreme Court before the Pine Bluff
case has been finished. Those who
have kept track OF the situation de-
clare that the Supreme Court win in
all likelihood render decision as to
the constitutionality Of the Going law
Monday morning.
Listless Testimony.
The testimony offered yesterday
was in the main a repetition of that
produced on the other days this week,
and all of which was in effect the
same as given at the former hearing.
Comparatively few new features were
injected into the case. AS before, the
remonstrants challenged many names
and the question of the names stand
ing on the petition rests with the
county Judge.
There appeared as on Friday, diff
ficulty in securing sufficient num-
Der of witnesses SO that the hearing
could be rapidly dispensed with, and
the remonstrants after resting the
case in chief, declared that there were
quite few witnesses who had been
summoned and who did not appear.
Owing to the fact that many expect
ed the hearing to be ended yesterday,
and thinking perhaps that there
might be some out OF the ordinary
features, there were more spectators
in the court room. At times. how
ever, the number dwindled consider,
ably.
That the hearings have been ex-
pensive to both sides goes without
question. The remonstrantsi by the
time the entire case is over, will
have spent in the neighborhood Of
four or five thousand dollars, while
the liquor interests have also had
large expense to undergo.

Banquet Precedes Business.

Preceding the business session, a
sumptuous eight-course banquet was
served in the private dining room of
the Marion hotel. The place cards
were in college colors, and the table
was beautifully decorated with double
jonquils to correspond. Reminis-
cences of college days filled the time
between the arrival of the delegates
and the serving of the banquet, and
never has there been seen in Little
Rock gathering of prettier, charm
ing or more enthusiastic young wo-
men.
Between the courses, a number of
toasts were proposed. the responses
being replete with wit and wisdom.

than fight against the FISHERMEN in

al Cough withdrew his resignation
only after Secretary of War Seeley
handed him a written guarantee that
he would not be ordered to lead his

MANY FECERALS

Attempt Made at Torreon to
Break the Rebel

His Losses Have Been Heavy and He
Is Planning to Take City
at Any Risk.

outskirts of Torreon in daring
sortie early this morning, 800 men
comprising the command of federal
Central Benjaman Argumendo MAX
ing southern dash from the
smelters of the Metallurgical Associa-
ton. The federal division attempted
to cut it's way through the lines of
the constitutionalsts.
The rebels concentrated their fire
on the attacking column, forced the
federals back into the city proper and
took possession of the smelter, which
is now held by the rebels. The field
was strewn with dead and dying, the
encounter being one of the bloodiest
of the six day fight
Tonight the rebels made another
attack on Torreon, having rested most
of the day in preparation for the
night assault. Burning buildings
served as giant torches to light the
streets of the city where the fight
| ing is going on.
81 intend to take Torreon tonight,
no matter what the COST" said Villa
! this afternoon. His losses have been
severe and hes is eager to END the
prolonged battle, regardless OF
hazards.
The constitutionalists continued
the attack on Torreon all Friday
night prefering to continue the bat
tie in the cool hours rather than in
the heat of the day. Besides, Gen.
Villa believes his losses would be
smaller if he made his attacks under
the shelter of night.
Take Some Points.
Several s.ragetic points in Torreon
and in the outskirts of the city have
been taken by the rebels, but it
seems certain that there is desperate
| fighting ahead, as. Gen. Velasco, COM
mander of the federal forces is firmly
entranched in the town and appears
to have inspired his soldiers with new
courage.
Villa has been very active today,
but insists that his officers and men
get as much rest as possible. He
made elaborate plans for the night
attack and was in conference much OF
the time with men who are thor
oughly familiar with every foot OF the
city.
1t has been confirmed that federal
Generals Pena and Col. Reyna were
killed during the fighting at Gomez
Palacio and Lerdo, and that Gen
Almaxan and Gen. Ocaranza were
MORALLY wounded. The constitu-
.tionalists lost no officers of note
although Gen. Parcia was mortally
wounded in the fight for possession
of Sacramento, a week ago. Gen.
Rodriguez had leg broken by a rifle
bullet in the fight in front of Gomez
PalaciO.
Since yesterday morning three
troop trains have Left here for
Jiminez, and Chihuahua with about
$50 seriously wounded.
Villa stated tonight that he could
not give exact figures on casualties,
but believes. that his death list Will
reach so. He estimates the federal
losses at 1900. but admits that this
is only guess.

REPUBLICAN VICTORIES

a general advance in the price OF
securities in the New York street
market was attributed in the finan-
cial district to the gains made by
the republicans in congress Wall
streets satisfaction owe the results
was intense. and 1t was reflected in
q substantial rise in quotations of
all the listed stocks and a marked
improvement in sentiment.
Quotations we're from 3 to 8 cents
higher than those that prevailed last
week. United States Steel common
was quoted at IL, as compared with
3s rs last week.
The opinion was expressed that the
great reduction in the democratic
majority will have q SOLDERING effect
upon the radical element and lead to
the adoption of a more liberal policy
toward business on the part of the
congressional leaders. 1t is believed
that the results of the election will
hasten the reopening Of the Stock
Exchange.
All the selling orders for European
account that remained in Wall Street
after the closing of the exchange
have now been cancelled. and buying
orders. in many instances, have been
substituted. The banks have begun
to retire emergency currency in sub
stantial amounts. Several institu-
tons turned back large amounts yes
terday. The actual total was $780,
900. of which 100000 was re-
tired by the National City Bank and

that White Pine county will be in a
