CLASH IN SENATE
 IS FEATURE
First Clash of Session Between Old Line' and Progressive Republicans Came Friday Tax on Newsprint.

Washington, Aug. 25.-The first clash of the session between so-called "old line' and progressive republicans occurred in the senate today. during debate on the emergency bill. Sena- tor Gallinger, minority leader. criti- cised progressive republicans for the overthrow of former Speaker Cannon and attacks on the late Senator AL drich, drawing a vigorous reply from Senator Gronna
 Senator Gallinger declared that certain republicans who had sown seeds of discontent over the Dingley tariff chose former Speaker Cannon as the Jonah on whom to heap the burden of blame and that they preach ed the false theory that the high cost of living was due to the Dingley tariff.
 Senator Gronna insisted that the tariff had nothing whatever to do with the overthrow of Cannon and that he was attacked only to end an era of autocratic domination of the House. He also hotly denounced differences that progressive republicans had at that time demonstrated free trade tendencies and charged that republi- cans of the "old guard" had sought to subject the farmers of the country to free trade in agricultural products.
 Republicans held the floor through out the days discussion. The demo- crats of the finance committee today agreed to strike from the bill pro- posed stamp tax on insurance policies against which there has been a flood of protest An amendment to the bill by Sentaor Hitchcock proposed d graduated tax on newsprint pape, selling for more than S45.00 a ton tc check the advancing price of paper

GEORGIA GUARD
 CAPTAIN KILLED
According to Information Given Police by Mrs. Adams, Captain Startling. a Doctor. Acted Wrongly Toward Her.

Macon Ga. Aug. 25.-Captain Ed .,r Snratmg of Company F, Fifth G. N. G., was shot and t;nod in his tent at the state mobili- notor camp here today by Mrs. II. c. Adams an Atlanta woman, who ac- .ordinc to officers at the camp ac- .nsad the guardsman captain of hay inc acted wrongfuny toward her.
 At the Bibb county jail tonight where she was held under charge of murder pending coroner's in- .mest. Mrs Adams asserted that Cap tain Spratlng who in private life was physician and well known in medical and social circles in Atlanta,
 had caused her to shoot him by at tention paid to her while she was in his office in Atlanta for treatment before the Georgia troops were mobil- Ized
 Mrs. Adams according to informa-
 ton received here left her home in Atlanta this morning shortly after her husband, employed at a laundry
 had gone to work, leaving her and the
 couples three small children at home. Mrs. Adams said tonight she had
 previously told her husband of alleged improper relations between she and
 the physician and added that her only regret is that did not tell him
 sooner"
 Spratling's fellow officers indicated q belief that illness probably due to nervous disorders had caused the wo-
 man to think the physician had acted improper toward her.

CRISES IN STRlKE
 SITUATION AT HAND
Railroad BrOtherhOOdS Will Not Wait Beyond Today on Presi- dents - Executives Submit COunter-PrOpOsal.

Washington, Aug. 25.-After the heads of the four great railroad bro- therhoods threatening a nationwide strike had gone to the White House today with a warning that their men will not wait longer than tomorrow night for reply from the railroad presidents to President Wilson's sug- gestion that an eight-hour day be granted, the executives tonight agreed upon a counter-proposal to the sub mitted to the president tomorrow. This plan, holding to the demand for arbitration, which the employees have declared they unalterably oppose, pro- poses:
 "That the question of an eight-hour day is not directly connected with the matter at issue and that there is a difference between an actual eight hour day and an eight-hour day as a basis of pay.
 "That the questions of increases of wages are questions which should be settled by arbitration.
 That the present demands of the trainmen be submitted to arbitration by the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion or some board to be created by the president or in some other way.
 "That if the arbitrating board finds wage increases should be granted, their finding will be retroactive and the increase will take effect from the time the arbitration begins.
 That fund shall be created by the railroads to provide for this con- tingency, the Interstate Commerce Commission to keep the accounts, and the arrangement to continue in force for time not yet determined upon, the men agreeing that during the period of arbitration there shall be no fur ther demands or any attempt to strike"
 A draft of this report was sub mitted tonight by the committee of eight presidents who have been at work upon it for week. The 50 presidents and managers approved the draft The final draft will be pre- sented at a meeting tomorrow morn ing. From that meeting it is expected the report will be taken to President Wilson. It is said this will be the final report of the executives.
 It puts the issue squarely up to the men, said one officer.
 The crisis is expected by noon to- morrow, when the president will sec the brotherhood leaders.
 Some of the railroad presidents said that while the proposal would not give the men the more than 20 per cent increase in wages provided in Presi- dent Wilson's plan, it probably would give an increase of more than 10 per cent
 Throughout the day the railroad presidents took the position that the

eight-hour day Is a question of wages rather than of principles. They said they never had voted formally or President Wilson's plan as a whole, but that all their discussion had shown that it could not be accepted in it's entirety The plan now agreed on will be the first presented by the eX- ecutives since the negotiations began.
 Leaders of the brotherhoods could not be reached tonight, but among the men the sentiment was against arbi- uation. However, the fact that the railroads have made proposal was considered encouraging, because it may form the basis for further nego- tiatons l. is believed the discussion may continue until the middle of next week or longer.
 Some of the railroad presidents be- heve the brothcrhoods will decide that much has been conceded and that it would be q losing fight to hold out for their original demands.
 The railroad executives virtually dismissed from all consideration today questions of freight rate increases and Of methods of insuring settlement of future disputes
 It was a determined quartet from the brotherhoods that visited the pres ident today to deliver their ultimatum.

PLAN MORE TERRACING.

Now is the time to plan for terrac- ing fields and corn fields and grain fields. Where there is county agent, call on him for laying out the work and for instruction. Don't let out lands wash away to the gulf. With terracing and with cover crops, Ar kansas hillsides will return richer profits. Watch the hillsides!

MAY COTTON ABOVE
 10 CENTS AT CLOSE
Greater Activity and Strength Largely Due to Crop Prospects
 Rain in Southwest too Light
 to Relieve DrOuthy Conditions

New York, Aug. 25-The cotton market has shown increasing activity and strength during the past week with the course of prices reAecting apprehensions that the official report of next Thursday would show fur ther disastrous falling off in the pros pective crop. Heavy realizing and some scattered Southern selling caus- ed moderate reactions from time to time, but the market derived impetus today from bullish private condition figures and further sensational ad- vance carried late deliveries through the 16-cent level December con- tracts sold as high as 15.8S, or S7.35 a bale above the closing price of last Saturday, and no less than S13 a bale above the prices ruling just before the publication of the official crop report at the beginning of the month. The trade abroad has shown equal anxiety over the new crop outlook and the market at Liverpool led the advance, while houses with English connections have been very heavy buyers hera, presumably to undo straddles South ern selling has been too light to indi- cate any general disposition to hedge new crop supplies.
 There was some selling during the middle of the week on appearance of showers in the Southwest, but the pre- cipitation was generally regarded as too light to relieve drouthy conditions and renewal of clear weather led to reports of further deterioration.

Report is acknowledged of your let
ter dated March 22. 1915, concerning
prior correspondence with ragard TO
the conflict of the State of Michigan
and the Indians as to Sections 16 with
in the L'Anse and Vieux de Sert Indian
Reservation.
In reply you are advised that subse-
quent to October 4, 1912, the date of
Office letter to the then Land Commits
sioner Of Michigan, the improvements
on Section 16 within the reservation
named were appraised under instruc-
tions from this department. Thereaf-
ter the matter was gone over carefully
in this Office and the draft of bin
was prepared with the view of asking
Congress for the required sppropria-
tion to be used as basis in adjusting
the conflicting claims of the Indian al
lottees and purchasers from the State
of Michigan. However, further action
was withheld by this Office, but the
case will probably be presented to the
next Congress, with view to the final
adjustment of the issues involved.
Very truly yours.
