Much interest is being taken in the election of members of the Legisla- ture, large number of whom have alreadyl been nominated. Friends of Judge John w. Blackwood, of the Lit tie Rock bar, one of three winners on the Citizens Ticket in Pulaski county, have started quiet boom for him for Speaker. He was not an aspirant for the office of that rarest thing in poli- tical politics, the office seeking the man.
 That there is a growing sentiment for radical changes in existing order of things politically was amply dem- onstrated by the recent primary in Pulaski county. All the present coun- ty officers were running either for re- election or for some other office, and everyone with three exceptions was defeated Sheriff Hutton had no op- position, and Chancery Clerk J. s. Maioney, who is Secretary of the Democratic State Central Committee, was unopposed for Circuit Clerk. Dan Quinn, the present circuit clerk, was successful in his race against two op- ponents for Circuit Clerk. Those who were defeated, all of them court house veterans, are; County Judge Joe Ash CT for reelection, his opponent being State Senator Lee Miles; County Trea- surer H. O. Vogler for Chancery | Clerk, defeated by w. S. Boone; As i sessor R. G. Pillow for county trea- surer, defeated by M. E Akin; Her bert Turner the present county clerk, was defeated for assessor by Vernon 1 Heath, young man who did not know personally one-hundredth as many voters as his veteran opponent; De putty Chancery Clerk F. A. Garrett, who has been Chancey Clerk, sought the office again with three opponents, and was defeated; Henry Reigler, the only member of the Pulaski delega- tion in the last House who sought re- election, was overwhelmingly defeat ed

DEGREE TO ENDING
 CAREER OF VILLA

Washington, Jan. 19.-General Car ranza notified the Mexican embassy today that he had formally proclaim ed Francisco Villa. Pablo GopeZ, and Eafael Castro, outlaws because of the massacre of American citizens at San tafsabel. Under the decree any citi- zen is authorized to execute the out laws without formality.
 It says "in view of the frequency with which outrageous crimes are be- ing committed by bands of outlaws scattered in various parts of the re- public even after the annihilation of the armies of the reactionaries by the constitutionalist forces it is believed that the situation thus created calls for the extremity measures of sup pression in order that such crimes shall be met by severest punishment to those responsible for them.
 Tn view of the recent attack on a railway train near Santa Ysabel by bandits led by Rafael Chastro and Pablo Lopez members of the forces commanded by Villa under whose or ders they were operating and in ac- cordance with the precedent estab- hshed In similar cases occurring in the past, l have seen fit to issue the fol lowing decree.

23 WHITE CONNECTS
 MAKE THEIR ESCAPE
Cut Hole Through Floor in the StOckade-Over one Hundred Sam Bell Among Number Re fused to Leave with Others.
Snecial to the News.

Special to the News.
 Little Rock, January 20.- (3:00 D. m.)-News was received here this afternoon of the escape of twenty-three white convicts from the stockade of the Arkan- sas State farm, at Cummings.
 The convicts made their es- cape by cutting hole in the floor and there were over one hundred prisoners who could have had their liberty, but refused to go with the others. Among those who refused to leave was Sam Bell, who killed four people in Conway county.
 Officers are securing the coun- try with dogs, but as yet there have been no captures reported.
 Among the escaped are D. B. Williams, who killed a policeman at Fort Smith; Charles Owens, life-termer from White county, and Lee Blount, Faulkner coun- ty, murderer.

their own lines, unless it is for hu- man consumption. Over 50,000 cars are tide up on the tracks about New York. The railroads must pay 45 cents per day for each of these cars up to thirty days, and if they are not returned to their home road in that time the penalty is increased to $1 per day.
 Cotton men, under the leadership of s. Y. West, of Allen, Brotton & West, worked strenuously on Wednes- day undertaking to find water and rail routes open, but as the Gulf and At lantic coast states are using the wat CT routes to the limit, there was little chance for Arkansas, especially as the rates, due to the round about way, were much higher than the all rail routes.

ACTUAL POLITI.
 CAL DEVELOPMENT LACKING INTEREST
No Prospect Joint Canvas Gu bernatOrial Candidates-Much Interest in Selection of Candi- dates for Legislature.
By Clio Harper.

Little Rock, Jan. 20.-Actual devel- opments in the state political situa- tion have not been numerous or ex- citing during the last week.
 The principal interest centered in the withdrawal of Col. T. c. McRae from the race for governor, the re- alignment of the forces that had sup ported him, the attitude of certain po- litical leaders of Southern Arkansas to bring out a dark horse, and the conference held at Prescott to induce Col. McRae to re-enter the contest. The fact that Col McRae had agreed to consider the proposition encourag- ed his supporters in the hope that he might once more get in the race. Secretary Hodges and Dr. Brough are actively engaged in separate cam paigns, all prospects of a joint can vass having been abandoned with the retirement of Col. McRae. Judge L. C. Smith, the other candidate. opened headquarters in Little Rock, at the Capitol Hotel, announcing that he will stay in the race until the last vote is counted" and that he "is in the race to win the nomination" He declares among other things, for woman suf- frage, personal liberty, and an econo- mical administration, and against ring-rule.
 ] In other contests, there have been few developments. Jim Higgins, of Conway, denied a rumor that he would withdraw from the race for Secre- tary of State. The other candidates, Tom J. Terrel and V. A. Beeson are conducting vigorous campaigns in South Arkansas. For Commissioner of Agriculture. Herbert Bost, circuit clerk of Johnson county, announced against John II. Page, but a rumor became current that he might with draw from the contest, which would leave Page unopposed. Lewis Rhoten and John D. Arbuckle still have the field to themselves for Attorney gen. eral. RumorS that Wallace Davis, the incumbent would enter the race have not been verified by Mir Davis, and doubt is expressed as to his inten- tion to become a candidate It is known that Gen. Davis considers the office very poor pay, as he could make much more in his private practice.
 J. w. Kuykendall and J. L. Bond for Superintendent of Public Instruc- tion, and Hogan Oliver and M. F. Dickinson for Auditor of State, still have the field to themselves, and are C. D. Wood, Treasurer R. c. McDan- iel, and Commissioner Owen continue to have smooth sailing, and will have no opposition.

and ex-general Villa is hereby declar- ed to be outside the pale of the law.
 Article 2-The reactionary leaders Castro and Lopez are hereby declared to be outside the pale of the law.
 Article 3.-Any citizen of Mexico is empowered hereby to arrest Fran cisco Villa, Rafael Castro and Pablo Lopez and to execute them without formality of the law but the citizen performing such function shall make a record in writing describing in de- tail the occurrence and setting forth proofs of identity and proofs of exc cUti"n.
 Republican leaders made clear to- day their purpose to keep up the fight for action on the situation in Mexico. The democrats were equal ly as determined that no legislative action should be taken at the stage.
 For more than two hours the com- mitteen discussed behind closed doors intervention resolutions and proposals to send troops to Mexico to cooperate with Feneral Carranza in maintaining order and running down the murderers of American citizens.
 Senator Borah of Idaho and Sena- tor Lodge of Massachusetts were the principal spokesmen for the minority while Senators Clarke of Arkansas, Williams of Mississippi and Stone de- tended the attitude of the administra- tion. Thus far the majority leaders have succeeded in preventing action on any of the resolutions submitted to the senate in the last week. Nc vote was taken in the committee today.
 Later it was announced the com mitee would not assemble again un- i til Wednesday unless unusual develop ments should arise. Republican sen- ators however expect to keep the issue before the senate and eventually may make an effort to get the question uT for vote. Senator Borah is canvass ing the senate to determine how much support could be rallied for a motion to discharge the committee from con sideration of pending resolutions should it vote not to recomment any action of the senate.
 Senators Lodge and Borah insisted today that it was the duty of the sen ate to determine on some aggressive step against outrages against Ameri cans in Mexico urging that the people of the country demand a more az gressive policy. Tomorrow Senator Sherman will call up resolution ht introduced today calling on the presi dent for information as to whether the United States entered into agree ment with South and Central Ameri can nations not to intervene in MeXi leo without their consent.
 Action was deferred on the nomina tion of Henry r. Fletcher ambassador to Mexico because President Wilson! reply to Senator Falls resolution O. inquiry for information about the Car ranza government had not been re Iceived. The reply will be ready in ; few days.

President Wilson'S speeches are
models of adroit indirect suggestion
and avoidance of downright state
ment. But the other day at Omaha
he seems to have committed himself
to the statement that he was willing
to fight" but was waiting for some
thing worth fighting for" for some
thing which would put all the cor
pusclcs of his blood into shouting
shape" 1t would be interesting to
know exactly what outrage on Amerl-
can citizens, or on the rights OF hui
manlty anywhere, which would make
him cross the line between being
willing TO fight and ito proud IN
fight" He certainly did not regard
the trcachcrous murder OF Boyd and
Adair, and this United States, as
something worth fighting for" lie
did not even write II note about il.
The murder of 1894 men. women and
children on the Lusitania did not put
