FIRST DONATION FOR
 EXHIBIT AT FRISCO
Farmer Contributes to Movement Started by Governor HayS-Actiye
 Work to Be Done.

Little Rock, March 1.-The first subscription to the fund to be raised by Gov. Geo. w. Hays for the purpose of sending an Arkansas exhibit to the Panama Pacific Exposition in San Francisco in 1915 was received yes terday and amounts to 10 cents. The subscription came from P. l.. Whtter- tine, farmer at Piclxford, Mo-, and the letter accompanying it states that it is all the giver can afford.
 The movement to raise funds to be used in having Arkansas represented with an exhibit at the -Panama-Pacific Exposition was started some time ago. On account of the unsettled po- ltical condition of the state, due to the approaching Democratic primary. the movement has not been pushed. Governor Hays is expected to appoint members of the soliciting committee in each county and the work of rais- ing money for the exhibit will be well under way in another month.

DENY COPPER STRIKE
 HAS BEEN ABANDONED
MINE FEDERATION PRESIDENT MOVER DENIES ORDERING MEN
 TO RETURN TO WORK.
Says He Said Men Might Treat With Companies, But Must Be Ended
 Only by Referendum Vote.

Calumet, March 11.-"The strike has not been called off and will not be, now at any rate," declared Presi- dent William Rickard of the Calumet Local of the Western Federation of Miners tonight. This statement was made following receipt of telegram from President Charles H. Mover who was reported here as saying in Chicago that the men might return to work, regardless of the Western Fed eration and treat individually or col lectively with the mining companies, although he Suggested" they take a referendum vote on the proposition.
 President Rickard tonight received telegram from Mover in which the latter denied the statement accredited to him.
 'I am surprised you should pay any attention to press reports," the mes sage said. q simply restated the proposition to the Congressional Com mittee made at Houghton, that the men on the strike themselves, treat with the companies. The strike has not been declared off and will not be called off unless by referendum vote of the men themselves"
 Rickard said the matter of declar- ing off the strike will not be put to vote before the men now, at least, and probably mot until further or ders are received from President Mover"
 General Manager Benton of the Copper Range Consolidated, declared this afternoon that the companies had all along urged the men to turn in their federation cards and return to work. Other men, managers through out the copper country, refused to dis cuss Movers statement. There are now about 2,000 miners on strike.

OPPOSITION $
 DULY GAGGED House Cannot Tack Amend ment to Tolls Repeal
 Measure.
FIX DEBATE LIMIT.
Fifteen Hours Will Be Allotted for Argument Then Deciding Vote Is to
 Be Taken on Measure.

Washington, March 1.-The fir3t step toward putting through the House the administration bill to ra- peal the free tolls section of tn Panama Canal Act was taken today. Facing such furious opposition to the proposal that a unanimous consent time could not be reached a specia! rule was requested to expedite the repeal bills passage.
 After ascertaining that an agree ment could not be reached under the unanimous arrangement, Chairman Adamson of the Interstate Commerca Committee offered a resolution ca!i- ing upon the rules committee to re- port rule for the early considera- tion of the repeal measure. This resolution provides that rules shall allow fifteen hours debate after which time the previous question shall be ordered on the repeal bill
  and that it shall be put on passage. "Without amendment or intervening motions except one motion to recom- init"
 The adoption of this rule will set off all opportunity for amending the repeal bill, as this bill has the back ing of the Administration, the Dem- ocrats of the Rules Committee are ex- pected to fall in line and report the rule.
 The Adamson resolution provides that the Panama tolls repeal issue shall be taken up by the House i'm mediately after the passage of the Rivers and Harbors appropriation bill. This bill is expected to pass as soon as the agricultural bill is voted on, and the free tolls controversy is due for consideration within ten days.

Soldiers From Fort Logan H. Roots, at Argenta,
 \ Are to Go.
TWO MORE TROOPS.
Governor COlQuitt's Appeal for More and Better Border Patrol
 the Reason.

Washington, March 11.-To allay as far as possible the fear of the people of the border, two full regiments of American soldiers, 1,700 strong, to- to Texas and help patrol the Mexican border.
 This action, coming immediately after Governor Colquitt's appeal for a more adequate border patrol and the recent embroglio of the Vergara case when a raidiug party from Texas dashed across the li4e and recovered the body of the murdered American, is understood to mean that the ad- ministration intends to go to any length to preserve peace along the Rio Grande and prevent any fight between Americans and Mexicans.
 The troops ordered to the border today are the 17th, and 9th regiments of infantry. The former stationed at Fort McPherson, Georgia, comprises S3S enlisted men and 42 officers; the latter stationed at Fort Logan H. Roots, Arkansas and Thomas, Ken- lucky includes S52 men and AS of licers.
 Secretary of War garrison issued the following statement concerning the movement:
 "TO allay as far as possible the fears of the people on the border, the President took up with me the ques- tion of sending additional troops there. As a result 1 have ordered the 17th infantry and 9th infantry to be sent there. They will b. stationed at Eagle Pass and Laredo and the calvary now at these places will ther be relieved for more extended border work"
 The secretary of war added that the operations of the calvary along the border have been somewhat hampered by the fact that they had to cover too much ground. The stationing of two additional regi- ments of infantry at Laredo aud Eagle Pass will allow the calvary patrol to guard the more distant parts of the border with much greater ease. The order for the movement of the infantry regiments read that the troops stood, proceed at once to Texas and report to Brig. Gen. Bliss"
 It is expected the troops will be on the way by daybreak,

IMPROVEMENTS IN COMMITTEES HANDS Cotton Men Name Those Who Are to Plan
 Warehouse
 AND BIG COMPRESS
AND BIG COMPRESS
Ziba Bennitt, P. P. Byrd, Clifton How. ell, J. W. Wilkins and (. C. Hand.
 ley to Report Next Wednesday,.

The first active steps toward secur- ing increased facilities for the cotton compress and the erection of a huge warehouse which will be adequate to take care of greater cotton interests, were taken yesterday afternoon when there was a meeting of the stock holders of the Pine Bluff Compress and Cotton Company and cotton men in the Cotton Exchange in the Citi- zens' bank building.
 At this time it was decided to ap- point a committee of five men to re- port on what improvements are nee l. ed and for this report to be given for consideration at the next meeting, to be held Wednesday a week hence
 Those who were named on this committee are Ziba Bennitt, J. w.. Wilkins, Clifton Howell, C. c. Handley and P. P. Byrd.
 The Board of Directors of the com press company is expected to take action on the report on the day that it is handed in for consideration. It has been said also that the report of recommendations which will be handed in will be final and that what ever steps are recommended will be adopted.
 To Determine Size,
 Just what recommendations are to be made are as yet uncertain. It has been given out, previous to the meet ing of yesterday, that the capital stock might be increased by sum of $150,000 for the compress to in order to take care of larger business, and that a warehouse of possibly 100000 bales capacity, would be erect ed. A warehouse of this size, it is said, would not only be adequate, but would also serve to at once increase the cotton interests of this city. With the building constructed of fireproof material steel and concrete, there would be an inducement to send cot ton here for storage rather than to other points which at the present time have more advantages in the way of warehouses.
 Those who have looked into the situation and know the cotton inteS- ests thoroughly say that the increas- ing of the facilities of the compress and the establishment of warehouse will serve to do more for the indus trial and commercial interests of this city than has ever been attempted heretofore. It is contended that such improvements and on such large scale will not benefit the cottol interests alone, but will be of value
