Senators Lewis and Benson declare that they formerly rep resented as legal counsel certain rail roads. the Western of Alabama West Point, Alabama Great Southern and others. but resigned before taking oaths as members of the senate. Sem ators Lee and Miller make the inter- esting statements that they have not ridden on railroad passes since 1907 when 1t was made unlawful for rail roads to grant free transportation to any save employees.
 Senator Miller makes the interesting statement that he is employed by q corporation, but he does not state in what capacity; and he does not iden- tify the corporation. An interesting feature of Senator Winkler's state Inent in his declaration that he owns stock in various Birmingham indus tries and institutions, among them be- ing the First National bank

Senator Wallace states that he is em- ployed as counsel by the Alabama Power company, and he alone of all the members is so employed It Is understood that he affiliated with the company during the trials of the so-called mosquito" cases in his county, cases out of which plain tiffs hoped to secure damages or the ground that mosquitoes bred by the over flowing waters of the company had trans mitted diseases in Shelby and adjoining counties.
 The feature of the entire report, how ever. is that 20 members of the upper house declare that they are free of all corporation influence or connection. It Is understood that this fact has seriosusly chagrined certain of the members who had previously conceived the idea that because corporations had been more than once favored, the senate was pro-corpor- ation in its tendencies. It is an interest ing fact that Senator Lewis, who intro- duced a similar resolution last January had once served the railroads, but had resigned that service, and that Senator Bonner. who fathered the resolution which was adopted, is local counsel for ha Goufhoyn

SCRAPS OF PAPER
New York Times.

Knitting for the soldiers is still go- ing on in America and all over Eng land, but the supply of woolen yarn is said to be giving out Roubalx and Reims and other centers of the wool cording and wool weaving trades of France are too near the fighting line to manufacture, and many other places have none to sell. This. how ever, is not an unmixed evil for the troops. M. Clemenceau says that cal leo steeped in some chemical solution to make it waterproof is better than wool for wet weather protection, and a correspondent of London Truth re- calls the fact that the Japanese at Manchuria used peierines end pugga- rees of tough, soft, and quite water proof sheets which could be folded in- to small compass, yet kept out the dampness.
 Such paper is very cheap in Japan and we in America have proved the usefulness and economy of paper nap kins, paper plates and cups, paper handkerchiefs, and nlunberless other things that enjoy a short life and useful one by minimizing labor and emphasizing cleanliness. The finding of new uses for fami-iar materials will be no doubt. one cf the benefits of the devastating war.

HOT SPRINGS WILL
 GET THROUGH TRAIN

Through train service between Tex larkana, Texas, and Hot Springs will be instituted by the Memphis, Dallas and Gulf Railroad about March 15, ac- cordlr1g to announcements from Mar tin Walsh of Nashville, Ark, traffic manager of the company. But one through train will be run each day be- cause of the newness of a portion of the road bed and the limited traffic. Between Shawmut and Ashdown d local train will be run each way once daily.
 In connection with this announce .ment Mir. Walsh says he desires to call attention to the fact that the Memphis, Dallas and Gulf is the only railway in Arkansas built wholly by Arkansas people, and that, too, in a much protracted period of railroad in- activity. On behalf of the officers and stockholders indulgence and for bearance are asked of the public until such a time as business and financial conditions will warrant better and more frequent passenger train service.

Continued Opposition in Senate Max es Final Passage of Measure DOubtful.-AnOther Attempt
 to be Made Tomorrow

Washington, Feb. 17.-The amend ed government ship purchase bill rushed through the house early today failed to gain ground when it reached the Senate, and administration lead CTS tonight are in doubt as to it's fate

Without sup port of either of these factions, it cannot be passed, Democratic lead CTS realized that nothing could be done unless some change in the measure could be effected in conference, but all their efforts to send the amended bill to conference failed.
 Another attempt will be made to- morrow, and then Republican leaders who insist the bill is dead, are expect ed to demand an understanding that appropriation bills be taken up before hey cease their opposition.
