 When peace is absolutely restor- ed and tranquility really establish ed throughout the republic, amnes- ty will be granted to all these per sons. but not now. To permit them to return at this time would be to endure their machinations within the republic.
 "The immediate effect of this news will be great moral strength ening of the cause of constitution alism and a corresponding disheart- ening of opposing factions. There will be no more formal battles. Fighting of that sort already has ended, but naturally the struggle to put down minor outbreaks and lawlessness must be continued for a greater or less time in a country such as this, where there are ex- tensive open areas"
 It was announced at the White House this morning that plans of the administration include activity to expel rebellious agents from the United States and not permit the foes of Carranza to use this country as a base for hostile propaganda. Villa agents at Washington predict that furious fighting will follow the recognition of Carranza

Washington, Oct. Especial to The Press) Secretary of State Rob ert Lansing was this morning off cially notified of the action of the Pan-American conferees who on Sat urday decided to extend conditional recognition to the Mexican faction headed by Carranza. The first chief will be looked upon, officially, as president of de facto government, and will continue as such until an election can be called and choice of the Mexican people themselves as certained. President Wilson has al ready given his approval to the ac- tion taken Saturday and will give instructions that an embargo be placed upon the shipment of arms and ammunition to the faction head ed by Gen.

IMPORTANT JOKER
 IN LAW IS FOUND

Little Rock, Oct. 9.-What is claimed as being joker" has been found in the law enacted by the last legislature, making it optional with juries to assess life imprison- ment or death in convictions here tofore punishable only by death. The new law, attorneys claim, re- peals the law providing for capital punishment, and thereby abolishes capital punishment in this state.
 The law says that "the jury shall have the right in Ill cases where the punishment is now death by law, to render a verdict of life inn prisonment in the state penitenti- ary at hard labor"
 Following this clause is the em- ergency clause, setting forth that all the laws in conflict are repeal ed. Attorneys say the old law IS in conflict, and therefore is repealed. The supreme court is expected to rule on the contention when the verdict in the Sam Bell case is act ed upon.

They were, of course, disappointed when they reached Paragould and found the market suffering from a heavy decline. The top prices paid this morning were 4.70 in the seed and 12 in the lint.
 The market at the close at noon today showed a decline of nineteen points in October quotations from yesterdays close. December lost eighteen points; January twenty two points; March twenty-five points.
