By ellison Gardner.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. IL.
The great Wilson-Roosevelt
feud has a second big subsidiary
feud-one in addition to that be-
tween Wilson and Bryan. This
Is the Clark Bryan feud.
1t was born in the Baltimore
convention in 1912, when Bryan
threw the strength of the dele
gates from Clark to Wilson. And
the speaker of the house of rep
resentatives and the former Sec
rotary of state have not been on
speaking terms since that men,
orable Baltimore day.
The break between Bryan
and Wilson throws Bryan
back into the Clark camp,
and the result may be com.
plete reconciliation between
Clark and Bryan to oppose
Wilson. Stranger things than
this have happened in poll
tics.
After the Baltimore convention
Champ Clark displayed a resent
ment, which was very natural and
which was Enthusiastically vio-
lent, against Bryan. In nine bal
lots Clark had polled a majority
of the delegates in the Baltimore
nominating convention, and in
the primaries preceding the con-
vention he had polled 1000
more votes than Wilson; yet
Bryan had put a halter on the
convention and led it finally to
the nomination of Wilson.
Felt He'd Been Robbed.
CLARK FELT THAT HE HAD
BEEN ROBBED OF THE PRESI-
DENCY. Seeing the split in the
republican ranks, he regarded the
nomination as equivalent to an
election.
Bryan's elevation to the posi-
tion of secretary of state did not
soften Clark's feelings. In the
beginning Clark was suspected of
some GOODNESS toward President
Wilson. At the time of the presi-
dents fight to secure the repeal
of the canal tolls exemption, Clark
opposed Wilson and it was pre-
dicted that this was the beginning
of split in the democratic party.
Clark denied this, and took &C.
casion at that time to set at rest
reports that he and Wilson were
political enemies. He also an
nounced what would be his atti-
tude toward Wilson's renomina-
ton.
Not Worth Having.
Denouncing certain friends of
Bryan and Others as sianderers,
Clark, in a speech to the house,
said:
1T will surprise these timber
backed incense-swingers still
more to know what | have
uniformly told those who have
suggested my candidacy in 1916
and it is this: If President Will
son makes a success of his admin
istration he will be renominated
and reelected in 1916 (applausel,
but il he makes a failure, which
God forbid, the nomination will
not be worth having'!"
Up to date Clark has not made
an announcement which would in
dictate a change Of attitude toward

Washington, Jan 1.-THE possibi.
ity that the British liner Persia.
which sank in five minutes, with
heavy loss Of life, forty miles south
east OF Crete on Dec. 10, may have
been sunk by an internal explosion
rather than by torpedo attack is be-
ing considered in official circles here
on the basis of some OF the affidayits
of survivors. These afiidavits are
now coming into the State Depart.
ment from the American Consuls at
Malta and Alexandria, who obtained
sworn statements from survivors ON
their arrival at those places
The internal explosion theory is
based on assertions that the eXplos-
ion was accompanied by much steam
and smoke, which rushed into the din
ing saloon and other parts OF the YES
sci. While there is no positive evil
dence that the Persia was destroyed
by boiler explosion there is just as
much evidence in favor of this theory
as there is in support of the presump-
ton that the vessel was destroyed by
q submarine.

be regarded as indicating that there
had been a boiler explosion was that

WOODMEN OF THE
 WORLD WIN DECISION
Chancellor Robertson at Forrest City Holds That the Payment Must Be Made on Old 20 Pay" Policies.

Fhirty-three thousand members of the Woodmen of the World are affect ed by the decision last week of Chan cellor Edward D. Robertson of the St. Francis Chancery Court in the case of Laughinghouse vs. Sovereign Camp Woodmen of the World, according to DeE. Bradshaw of Little Rock.
 The suit was to test whether pay ment of premiums on 20-pay insur- ance policies, rescinded several years ago, could be compelled to continue payments after expiration of the 20- year period or lose their policy. The court decided for the society. Simi- lar suits are pending in other states.
 "Laughinghouse joined the society Fl years ago and brought this suit last year, demanding the issuance to him of a paid-up certificate" said MT Bradshaw yesterday. He al- leged that the bylaws at the time he joined provided that if he paid all as sessments and dues demanded of him for 20 years that the society would issue a paid-up certificate. He claimed also that in the corner of his certif- cate was written and printed the word, Payment to cease after 20 years
 The society claimed that the by law had been repealed many years ago, that more than 100000 members had joined since then and that the so- ciety was a mutual organization and as such all members were required to make proportionate contributions suf- ficient to pay death losses and that to grant plaintiff and others like him paid-up certificates would be destruc- tive of mutuality and of the perpetu- ity of the society and also that under the laws of the state of Nebraska, the home office of the society, such prefer ence could not be given any of the members of the society.

Little Rock, July 11.-All the com panies and the field and staff officers of the Arkansas National Guard have been mustered into the federal ser vice The final examinations began yesterday, and the number of rejec- tions are relatively small, as most of those who could not pass had already been dismissed
 The organization is still the Ar kansas National Guard, official in the service of the United States. The Guard, however, has discontinued re- cruiting for the service, the War De- partment having ruled that all re- cruits must hereafter be furnished through the regular channel of the army. No further effort will be made lat this time to recruit a third regi- Iment, unless a call should be made for more troops. The two regiments will be ready for service on the bor- der as soon as the physical eXamina- tions are concluded which will prob ably be today or tomorrow.

The girls dormitory accommodates 120 students, and already accommoda- tlons have been made for more than so. There are three dormitores for boys. All the rooms in one have been reserved, the second has only few rooms left and the third is more than haIG-tilled. Quite a number of stu dents who were in the University last year are now serving in the Arkansas National Guard, and may be delayed in returning. There has been an en- rollment of 160 at the summer school at the University conducted by Prof. B. M. Torreyson.

PRICES FALL WITH
 STORMS SESSION
Market Eases Under Scattered Selling-ClOse 8 to 13 Points Under-SOme Selling Due to Advanced Ocean Rates.

New York, July 10.-The failure of storm news to inspire any general or aggressive buying seemed to discour- age old longs in the cotton market hero today, and prices eased off under scattering liquidation or selling for a reaction October contracts, for in- stance, sold down from 13.l7c to 12.29c, closing at l3.01c, with the gen. erai list closing at a net decline of B to 3 points.
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of 6 to T points, on relatively steady cables and reports of continued rain in the Eastern belt over the weekend. Private wires said that over 15 inches of rain had fallen at Birmingham, Ala, since last Wednes- day, that rivers were oyerflowiag and that serious floods were apprehended and the posting of storm signals along the Atlantic coast from Jack sonville to about Hatteras was also a factor.
 The fact that private crop advices from the outskirts of the storm area laid more stress on the probability of increased boil weevil activity than upon any direct storm damage to the crop seemed to encourage reactionary sentiment and there was scattering local pressure as prices eased off from the best.
 Private wires from New Orleans re- porting that ocean freight rates for September, October and November shipment had advanced to $2 per hun dred were supposed to explain some Liverpool selling here The low point of the day was reached in the late trading, with July and December about 10 to 13 points net lower. Clos ing prices were within a point or two of the lowest.
 The cotton market closed steady.
