 Governor Hays.
Little Rock

Dona- ghey, member of the committee.
 Statements that the committee will recommend certain of the prison CTS for pardons and giving the names of the prisoners, are merely presump- tons, for the committee has not even discussed what recommendation will be made" he said.
 MT. Donaghey said the committee will have nothing to say concerning the investigation or the report to be submitted to the governor. Any in formation about the findings of the committee will come from the office of the governor after he has received the report, he said.

MEXICANS WOULD
 RETAkE OLD LAND
SECTION OF TEXAS IN DANGER FROM IGNORANT AND IRRE-
 SPONSiBLE PEOPLE.

Brownsville, Texas. = Practically every American citizen in three south ernmost counties of Texas, Cameron, Hidalgo and Starr, is resting under arms in fear that the overwhelming population of this section may break out in a racial fight.
 The Mexican disturbances spread rapidly westward until rumors of troubles developed at Laredo, 200 miles up the border from here. The disturbance came out definitely in it's true eolors, an attempt to turn part Of Texas back to Mexican control, a wild scheme, backed partly by ignor- ant classes of Mexicans, helped by es- caped convicts and fugitives from jus tice on the American side, assisted by fairly large influx of irresponsible MexicanS from the other side, includ- ing some Mexican soldiers
 Rangers in Hidalgo County, pursuing some of the gang which killed an American trooper near Mercedes, captured flag bearing the words in Spanish:
 Army of Liberation for Mexicans in Texas"
 They took horse, some literature urging Mexicans to revolt and some telegrams, one dated Monterey.

Several Little Rock bankers who at tended the meeting of Southern bank CTS in Galveston, Tex, returned home enthusiastic over results accomplished at the meeting.
 Representative bankers from eight cotton growing states pledged them selves to stand behind the producers in an effort to secure a fair and uni form price for cotton. and in this they were pledged the support of the four Southern federal reserve banks.
 The means by which it is proposed to secure to the producers a fair price is the gradual marketing of cotton. The bankers have agreed to advance money to the farmers on cotton secur- ities and the federal reserve banks representatives agreed to rediscount this paper. Thus they hope to offer Ho more cotton than the market will instantly absorb

Recalls That Teutons Furnished Ma. terial to Great Britain When Her Enemies Could Not Import
 Necessities

Washington.-The State Depart. ment made public the reply of the United States rejecting views set forth by the Austro-Hungarian gov ernment in recent note eontending tEat exportation of war munitions from America to Austrias enemies was conducted on such a scale as to be mot in consonance with the def hilton of neutrality"
 Though friendly in language and tone, the note fiatly denies the Austro' Hungarian contentious, and recalls that that country and Germany fur. nished munitions of war to Great Britain during the Boer war when England's enemies could not import such supplies. It insists the Ameri. can government is pursuing a strict. ly neutral course in adhering to 8 principle upon which it would depend for munitions in the markets of the world in case it should be attacked by a foreign power.
 "The principles of international law" the communication concludes, 'the practice of nations, the national safety of the United States and other nations without great military and na- val establishments, the prevention Of increased armies and navies, the adop- tion of the peaceful methods of the settlement of international differences and finally neutrality itself, are op- posed to the prohibition by neutral nation of the exportation of arms, am- munition or other munitions of war to belligerent powers during the progress of the war
