Little Rock, Jan. 29-Consideratio of the Miller and Condray bill to re- peal state aid to high SCHOOLS. with it's accompanying oratorical outburst, spilled the beans for the members of the Arkansas senate who would have continued deliberations through Fri day afternoon and Saturday.
 When the senate was passing house bills at the rate of twelve to the hour, Senator Collins called up house bill No. IA, which repeals the statute under which state aid is given county high schocls Immediately the sena- iCrs squared themselves and prepared for fight which would cast a shadow ever all pending legislation for a day or more. Senator Ruff was out in front with the Colors and moved that the bill be indefinitely postponed.
 Members of the senate who have not made Q speech during the session un- lmbered their seize guns and rushed to the front on this measure, which scon tock the appearance of battle royal with the cities and towns lined ID against the rural communities.
 After a half hour debate in which Senators Edmondson, Ferguson. Toler and Smith of Union sought to have the moticn defeated, with Senators Rutt. Greenhouse and Slaughter clearly demonstrating their stand in favor of continuing state aid to high schools, the senators realized they were in for a day of debate, and motion to ad- iourn until Monday was cheerfully en- tertained This, in spite of the fact that it hed virtually been agreed early in the morning to clean up the house bills in shape for passage before ad- jCurning for the day.

 Shows That Carranza
 Hasn't a Chance. FIRST CHIEF" IS
 TO LOSE OIL WELLS With Army of 35,O0O, Villa Sure to Crush Carranza's Force of 25.OOO, Is the Conclusion of Bryan's Assistants.

Washington. aJn. 29.-After the cab inet meeting today. at which the re- capture of Mexico City by Carranza was discussed, Secretary Bryan said there would be no change in the poll' Cy of the government With rererence to the Mexican situation.
 John Lind, President Wilson's spe- cial agent in Mexico during the Huerta reign, called on the president and later had a talk with Mir. Bryan.
 MT. Lind and MT. Bryan said the visits were purely social and had nd reference to the trouble in Mexico.
 The occupation of Mexico City by General Obregon with 10000 men was officially reported to the state depart ment today.
 The state department summarized the situation today substantially as follows:
 "The advantage is still with Villa. Carranza has control of Vera Cruz Mexico City and Guadalajara, while Villa has possession of Monterey, Sal tillo and the whole of the north. Vil la has an army of 35,UO0 while our figures give Carranza only about 25,- 0O0
 "In order to hold Mexico City, Car ranza must keep 10000 troops there and he must also be ready at all times to defend Vera Cruz and Guadalajara AS consequence he will be at the mercy of the combined forces of Villa which, we are informed, ho will keep intact for the ultimate purpose o1 having battle with Carranza As soon as possible he will get hold of the oil fields, as he is now at Monterey and Saltillo, which control the coal fields.
