BILL DRAWN BY
GOVERNOR STANLEY
Kentucky Senate Passes Anti.
Trust Measure. ExemDtS
Tobacco Pools.

Frankfort, Ky, Feb. THE sen.
ate has passed the Stricklett-Pickett
anti-pass bill as amended by the house,
AS soon as the bill has been enrolled
it will be submitted to the governor
for his approval.
The antitrust bill of Senator Glenn
was a special order in the senate.
Senator Glenn explained that the
measure was drawn by Gov. Stanley.
Senator Overstreet asked if there was
anything in the measure to prevent
the farmers from pooling their tobac-
co. Senator Glenn said that under
the provisions of the bill the farmers
would have more right to pool their
tobacco than they now enjoy. He said
he thought the bill went just as far as
it could, under the constitution, to
protect the farmers in their organiza-
tons.
Senator Zimmerman said that il
President Wilson and Gov. Stanley
were to come into the senate and ask
him to support the bill he would not
do so if he thought it would interfere
with the farmers and the labor organ
izations. The measure was adopted.
In the house the Kaufman anti
trust measure was put through. This
bill prohibits participation in a pool,
trust agreement or combination, con
federation or understanding where
such organization is incorporated with
capital stock, either to control the
production or sale of any commodity
or to attempt to control prices. The
measure also prohibits boycotting and
provides a heavy penalty for viola
tons.
Whites bill prohibiting trespassing
on land to dig ginseng or other roots
was reported favorably by the Com
mittee on Agriculture of the house.

Score of Southeastern Arkan-
SaS Towns Engulfed by
Fierce Flood.
16 LIVES HAVE BEEN LOST
Waters of Mississippi
Pouring Through Many
Breaks in LeyeeS.

Little Rock, Ark, Feb. 1.-THE
rapidly widening lake in southeastern
Arkansas, formed by the flood waters
of the Arkansas river pouring through
breaks in the levees, has engulfed a
score of towns, leaving several thous-
and persons homeless. Sixteen lives
have been lost in the floods and the
damage approximately will run into
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Still greater damage is feared if the
Mississippi continues to rise as in the
last few days. Predicted stages at
Arkansas City would endanger the
levees there and a break in the Missis-
sippi levees would precipitate SER
ious situation in the river valley. All
day Sunday the 700 men who remain
in Arkansas City toiled to strengthen
the levees against the fast rising wa
ter, and they were hopeful that the
levees would hold and the town be
saved. The narrow strip of levee is
the only land in sight there. On one
side is the river swollen until its sur.
face is fifteen feet above the level Of
the town. On the other side of the
levee is the great flood lake nearly
forty miles long and twenty mile:
wide. From it only the upper storie:
of buildings in Arkansas City pro
trude. AT the levee are three steam
boats ready to carry the workers tC
safety should they lose their battle
with the flood. They are living il
the second stories of their homes anC
in box cars on the levee.
Sunday the river rose two-tenths o.
foot, to 55.7 feet at Arkansas City
and is still rising slowly. Above
Cairo the Mississippi and Ohio are
both falling.

Close political observers of the Mid

Harvey H. lngham, editor of the

takes off his hat to Wilson:
when Bryan comes along talking

Bryan and has shown it in keeping
the country out of war.
When Mr.. Roosevelt comes along
shouting for war at once, the Wilson
people here can explain that the presi-
dent is for protecting the honor of
the nation at any cost, and that is why
he came out here to ask the country
to prepare for possible conflict,
