ANOTHER BREAK AND
 COTTON GOES LOWER
Renewal of Liquidation Sends Market Off-Prices Steadied On Later Covering and Closed Ills Points Off.

New York, Jan. 20.-There was a renewal of more or less general liqui- dation in the cotton market here to- day and a further sharp break occurr- ed in prices with March net lower, and nearly 2.50 per bale under the high level of last week. Prices steadied later on covering, with the general list closing steady at net loss of II to 15 points for the day.
 Liverpool cables were easier and first prices here were unchanged on January and from to points lower on later deliveries. Active months sold 2 to 12 points under last nights closing figures, immediately following the call.
 Rallies of 4 to 3 points from the lowest were followed by renewed weakness, however, and the selling became more active and general. Re ports that Liverpool had weakened owing to a break in the market for Egyptian cotton and advices from AL
 
 exandria stating that new crop pre- parations were making active pro gress, seemed to encourage bearish sentiment and at times there was ac- tive Wall street selling. March liqui- dation was also in evidence on the de cline, which carried May contracts off to 12.41c; July to l2.53c and October to 12.53c during the middle of the day, or about r to 19 points net lower,
 Reports that Southern spot markets were not following the decline in fu- lures helped the rally of some , or 6 points from the lowest, but trading was comparatively quiet after the ear ly break.

CITIZENS TICKET
 MOVEMENT SPREADING
Number Counties Have Already Followed Initial Movement of Pulaski. 1919 Legislature May Be Selected in this Manner.

The success of the Citizens ticket in Pulaski county, by which three of the four legislators were nominated, pro- misses to spread all over Arkansas by the time the 1919 legislature is se- lected. Over 1000 citizens of Pulaski county signed a petition in three days asking three prominent citizens to permit their names to go before the people as candidates for representa- tives. The county is entitled to four, and the other place was left open.
 The same plan was followed to a lesser degree in Phillips, Jefferson, Miller, Clark, Garland, and a few oth- CT counties. The counties which have already been elected, show a marked improvement by snding prominent business men to the legislature. It is expected that by the time the 1917 legislature is over, and the benefits of having business men in the legislature has become apparent, statewide or ganization will have been formed, having for it's object, the inauguration of citizens candidate petition in every county of the state.

0,OOO,0OO JEWS NEED
 FOOD AND SHELTER
Governor Hays Sets Aside Jan
 uary 27 as Special Day for Making Contributions and EX-
 tend Material and Moral Aid"

Little Rock, Jan. 21.-Gov. Hays has issued his proclamation setting apart Jan. 27 as a day especially for the contribution of funds, and "to ex- tend material and moral aid to the Jewish War sufferers of all the bel ligerent countries" This was done upon the suggestion of Rabbi Jasin of Pine Bluff, and pursuant to the ac- ton of the United States Senate and the President of the United States.
 It is said that in the various coun- tries of Europe now engaged in war there are 9,000,OO0 Jews, the great majority of whom are in want of food, shelter and clothing Millions have been expelled from their homes without warning, deprived of the opportunity of providing themselves with the least necessities, which pro- Iduced among them starvation, disease and indescribable suffering. Gov Hays calls attention to the fact that "the people of the State of Arkansas will be glad to join the other states of the union in extending aid to the peo- pie who have furnished so many eX- cellent citizens to this state" and that "the state of Arkansas has it's share of Jewish citizens who are broad minded, charitable and ever-ready tc perform any and all patriotic duties imposed upon the citizenship of the state"

GRANT M. X. X SOUTHERN
 RAILROAD EXTENSION

Little Rock, Jan. 21.-At a meeting of the State Board of Railway Incor- porations yesterday the Missouri, Ar kansas X Southwestern R. R. Co.,, of Mena was granted an extension of three years from Jan. 25 for the com pletion of ten per cent of its road-b bed The company was chartered in July, 1914, but financial conditions have prevented it from doing the required amount of work.
 This action calls attention to the fact that matters pertaining to rail way interpretations are still in the hands of a Board consisting of state officers. All other matters relative to railroads have been transferred to the Railroad Commission. Likewise, mat ters relating to insurance corpora tions are handled by the Secretary of State, although there is an Insurance Commissioner. These matters bring about unnecessary complications, and the Secretary of State will probably recommend legislation to make the necessary change, just as all matters relating to the incorporation of bank ing institutions have been transferred to the State Bank Commissioner.

GENERAL VILLA RE-
 PNRTED PRISONER
Official Confirmation Not Forth coming, and First Report is Based on Unofficial Advices hut are Reliable.

EI Paso. Jan. 20-Francisco Villa has been captured at Hacienda, San Geronimo, by Carranza forces, accord ing to a private message from Chi buabua City, received here. The tele- cram came from the source that first reported the massacre of Americans at Santa Ysabel.
 Mexican Consul Andreas Garcia al so confirmed the capture. His advices stated that the capture was effected bv Maximo Marquez, who recently also captured Jose Rodriguez, one of Villas generals.
 A message announcing Villas cap ture also has been received at the office of the American Smelling and Refining company. Later messages from Chihuahua City also confirming reports of the capture of Villa, stated that a number of bandits who parti- cipated in the Santa Ysabel massacre have been captured and are being brought to Chihuahua City for execu- tion.
 Consul Garcia explained that his confirmation of the report of the cap ture of Villa was based on unofficial but reliable information. He tele- graphed to Chihuahua asking imme- diate confirmation on the part of Gen eral Trevino, the military chief of the northern states. At the same time a message was prepared to be filed in the event of formal confirmation re- question that Villa be sent to Juarez to be executed at the race track. Ha- cienda San Geronimo is on the boun- dary of the Hearst property near the railroad station of Sam Lomas, south east of Madeira. Reports received here indicate that Villa had been cor nered in a triangle formed in noun tains.
 The continued silence on the part of Mexican authorities brought an ex- pression of fear that the reported cap ture of Villa might not prove true It was pointed out that the circum- stantial report of the capture lacked official confirmation at 9:30 o'clock to- night

5O,0O0 Girls Disappear Annually in
 United States

In the February Woman's Home Companion Emily Barton Reid has an exceedingly interesting article on "The Man Across the Aiale" in which she says:
 General Bingham, former Police Commissioner of New York, is au- thority for the statement that fifty thousand girls disappear in the United States every year. That may seem like an exaggerated estimate, but the General has more recently repeated it in a private letter, together with the assertion that he believes it an un- derstatement, rather than otherwise. Perhaps if you could share for one day the experiences of the average officer of the Travellers Aid Society, you would share the Generals con viction."

The Mission services which are be-

A large number took advantage Of
the opportunity to enjoy the song re-
cital by Mrs. Clara Johnson at the col
lege Monday evening. The program
was very exacting including four Arias
from Opera and Oratorio and four
groups of twelve songs. Notwithstand-
ing the length and technical difficulties
required, Mrs. Johnson gave a very
artistic program. Her voice is I'M
usually clear and of pleasing quality
and her work was clean cut ever in
coloratura. The group of songs repre-
senteg Franz, Schumann and Schu-
bert displayed a beautiful tone quality,
rich in it's timbre; This quality was
also especially prominent in the
Brahms Minnelied, Grieg's "~Solvejg's
Song" Massenet's "Elegy" and the
~O"Cf
Debussy Romance. The Cornelius
Monotone" was not only interesting
because of its novelty but very artistic
in the constantly changing quality of
the single tone. Of the Arias, per-
haps most enjoyable was the Tam
hauser aria, although the arias from
Mignon and 1.-THE Wedding Of Figaro
were exquisite. The program was
brought to a close with a group OF
Modern writer's who were represented
by Parnes-Wells, Woodman and Mrs.
Beach. One of the prominent features
of the program which added to its ex-
IRENE enjoyment was the splendid
work of Miss Cecil WEIGH at the piano.
Her accomplishments were in perfect
sympathy with the singer throughout
the program and proved the thorough
musicianship of the accompanist.
