 FOR U. $. SENATOR
Secretary of State Will Certify tt Nomination of Clarke and
 Myers.

Little Rock, July 17-Secretary of State Earle w. Hodges says there Is no question about the procedure in the election of the next United States senator for Arkansas. It was inti- mated on the floor of the Republican state convention that the next cleo tion would be by the legislature, but this is denied. The popular election amendment haveing been ratified by the requisite majority of the state legislatures, and duly promulgated, it is now part of the organic law. It is provided that until such times as the states may make specific pro- vision for the election of United States senators, they shall be elect ed at the same time as members of congress in November. That being true the nominations of James P. Clarke for the Democrats and Harry H. Myers for the Republicans, will be certified out of the various coun- ties for the November election.

MRS. CARAVAN IS
 RELEASED ON
 S20,000 BOND Formality of Arrangement in Famous Murder Case Quickly Over.
WOMAN COLLAPSES
 AFTER THE ORDEAL
Leaves Courthouse for Auto Trip With Smith Cox and Ernest Randall, Wealthy Neighb0rs Who Signed
 Bend as SuretieS.

Freeport, l.. l., Juyl 17.-Mrs. Flor ence Conklin-Carman, a woman as re- markable as the tragedy in which she has starred was released from the Nassau county jail today under $2O,- 900 bond to appear in court some time this fall and answer to the charge of killing Mrs. Louise Duryea- Bailey.
 A tense, white woman she was when she faced Justice Van Sicklen Tn the supreme court in Mineola and was told that the Nand jury had decided that she had killed Mrs. Bailey Gin the heat of passion" and was there fore indicted for manslaughter in the first degree.
 She strcde into the courtroom like a woman walking to her death. She was very pale. She appeared as if she had been hypnotiZed. She seemed neither to see nor to hear. She was expressing a wild desire to scream, and so furious was her struggle with her emotions that everyone in the crowded courtroom waited to see her drop.
 Directly after she had been inform ed that the indictment had been found and her attorney had agreed with District Attorney Smith that $2O,000 was all right as bail, Mrs Carman retired into the ante room where Smith Cox and Ernest Randall her wealthy neighbors, signed the bond. With Cox and Randall back of her, she strode into the courtroom with the same swining stride, her hands clenched. She raised her hand and was sworn with her bondsmen
 Six cameras clicked The accused woman started as if a rifle volley had been fired. Then she showed the fighting spirit. She swung halfway round toward the cameras and tried to smile. But the smile would not come although the tenseness about her mouth fled.
 She retired to the rear room to sur render to the irresistible desire to collapse. She fell into chair and began to weep historically Ten mln- utes later, in a curtained limousine she left through rear door for 8 trip over the hard sun-broiled roads of Long Island.

Triples and Buildings at Three Arkansas Mines
 Are Burned.
LOSS, $25O,OO0;
 NO LIVES LOST
Previous to Attacking NOn-UniOn Men at Mammoth COmpany'S Mines, Strikers Removed Women and
 Children from Danger Zone.

Fort Smith, July 17.-Union miners aad sympathizers numbering several hundred destroyed Eoarly everything at three mines of the Mammoth Veiii Coal company at Prairie Creek, twen- ty-five miles east of here, and en- gagged a force of non-union employees i'll a battle that waged from 6 o'clock un il noon. Dynamite and fire W1re used to destroy the structures. Ti1a loss is placed at S250,000
 The most remarkable incident iii connection with the fight, the re suit of strike of union employees, is that no one was killed and that only four persons were slightly wounded.
 The battle came to an end when the employees exhausted thei. supply of ammunition.
 The first attack was made on Mine No. 1, where a tripple and smaller building were burned. Then an attack was made at mine No. 3, where ripple and company houses were set. afire, and the machinery and mouth of the mine shaft 3sl,a- mited.
 The attacking force next moHe! to mine Mo- I, the only plant that was guarded and operating. The en,~ ployes were lodged behind a bar ricade, while the attacking force took refuge in the timbers and rocks at the edge of ridges of nearby hills. The long distance at which the fight was waged prevented fatalities.
 During the battle the sandhouse a quarter of mile from the plant were fired. When the employees took flight after their ammunition became exhausted, the attacking force set tire to- sixteen coal cars, the tripple and smaller buildings.
 The trouble is the climax Of a strike called at mine No. last April, when the company iaaugurated the "open shop" policy.
 Prior to the opening of hosti!'ties today all telephone wire in the strike district were cut, and the women and children in the danger zone were removed to safety.

 Paul Warburg.

 It is understood that the adminis- delay a vote for several more days in the hope that the outlook will +hcI be brighter If they succeed il win ming over enough votes to put Mr Jones through, they will then permit a vote to be taken.
 They will not, however, run rhe risk of having MT. Jones and the president defeated, and the nomlna- tion will be withdrawn if the sitUa tion remains unchanged.
 This is the program on which the administration leaders are working, and it is. planned especially to save Mr. Warburg. During the delay cf- forts will be made to reach com plete compromise which will guar antee the confirmation of Warburg in case Jones, who is particularly objectionable to several senators on account of his harvester and zine consideration.

Army to Mexico City.

0luudu JudItL, Duly oi Villa continues to clothe and provi- sion his troops regardless of the change in the situation in Mexico City, or what may be doing in diplo- matic circles in Washington or else where to bring about cessation of hostilities. Six carloads of clothing were received here this morning, and are being rushed to Chihuahua, Tor reon and other points where troops are concentrated for distribution.
 It is known that General Villa is intent upon having all the constitu- tLnalist army pass through the city of Mexico before being disbanded for the educational value of the eXperi- enoe.
 He believes this will do more to bring about a lasting peace than any other thing that can be done. He will insist upon the disbandment of the present so-called federal army and the substitution in its stead of an army made up of picked men from the various corps of the constitution alist army which shall be used as a police force for the purpose of put ting down bandits and restoring or der throughout the republic.
 Pensions as Pacifiers.
 In addition to carrying out the agrarian plan of GuadalOupe, Gen. eral Villa will insist upon liberal pension plan. Since he has been in Juarez he has distributed among the widows and orphans of those of his men who lost their lives in battle or who died of theeir wounds and dis ease and among the maimed of the constitutionalist army now in north ern Chihuahua, more than 100000 pesos.
 He has formulated plan for sub mission to the first constitutiOnaliSt congress, which involves the payment of a pension of 100 pesos per month to every widow having children and l to every man who fought in the ranks in the army and, as the result of wounds or of diseases contracted in the field, shall have been permanent ly disabled. He estimates that this will involve tolta expenditure of about 6,OOO,000 pesos per year, and he believes that it will be money well spent and will do more to keep peace than almost aany other measure which could be enacted.
 Emulate U. $.
 Villa is familiar with the system followed by the United States at thu close of the civil war, when it gave homesteads of 160 acres of laand tt every veteran who could settle on an( cultivate it. He believes system similar to that can be established ant will hel pto solve the agrarian ques tion.
 Villa will not agree to the disband ment of the constitutiOnalist army un til it has been determined that an! government which may be established in Mexico City will carry out the re forms for which the revolution hal been fought.
 Villas Reform Program. The great standing army which hal been one of the curses of Mexico must be disbanded. i The powers of the clergy must bt } curtailed; church and state must be separated in fact as well as in the ory.
 }, The manufacture and sale of liquor will be regulated so as to minimize drunkenness. These are but few of the reforms 1 upon which Villa will insist and Il f is believed by those who know hin best that he will refuse to permit his army to be disbanded until he is as sured that the new government vii take steps to put them into effect.

Fish Industry DwindIes

The present fishing season is the
worst in the life experience of fisher
men in the Chesapeake Bay and its tri-
butaries, according to information sent
to Congressman Linthicum by the Fed
eral Bureau of Fisheries. So deplor-
able are the conditions that Mr.. Linthi-
cum will make another effort to get
out of the Committee on Fisheries his
bills which would give the Federal Gov
ernment supervisory control of fishing
in the Chesapeake Bay. rhe catch of
herring and shad has fallen off to a
mere remnant of former figures, ae-
cording to a statement made to Mr.,
Linthicum, and so grave are conditions
in the upper waters of the bay that the
United States Fishing Station at Havre
de Grace has taken only $4,000 shad
eggs up to this time, when ordinarily it
would have taken 50, ,O09, 600. The con
dition is regarded as most alarming in
the history Of the bay fisheries. 1t is
now believed that some drastic action
must be taken to save the Chesapeake
Bay Fisheries from extinction.
