Federal authorities are being sS- vised regularly of all developments ln the high cost of living" campaign and furnished with as much informa. tton respecting the work of the House wives League and the Consumers League of Little Rock as may be bene- fcial in the general government in- quiry, according to W. H. Rector, as sistant district attorney.
 There has been no direct examina- tion into specific cases. and no need has been found thus far for the call ing of a special session of a federal grand jury in this district, MT. Rector said However, every bit of informa tion as to results or effects of the high prices is being given the Investigating agents the end that this, as we'll as all parts of the United States, can be rep resented in the general inquiry the government has started There are no investigators working out of Little Rock at present, the nearest ones being at Memphis That is where the information from this district is being compiled. Developments may lead to a more thorough inquiry, or they may nSt. The regular grand jury will not be in session until April Possi- bly, then the investigation will assume more of a local nature.
 Dispatches from New York say that Frank NJ. Swacker, assistant United States attorney general. started the directing of a grand jury investigation into the increased cost of living there. The coal situation was the first sub ject into which the federal authorities delved. Subpoenas were issued for representatives of coal companies and of coal-carrying railroads.
 The Pulaski County grand jury had witnesses before it in the milk com bine" cases that were brought to light several days ago While nothing was given out as to the nature of the in- quiry, it is known that the jury will attempt to find if there is a combina- tion of dairy interests in Little Rock that is in any way responsible for high prices.

AN ARKANSAS EPPTOME.

All the members of a negro family living across the river from Newport were poisoned one fatally, after eating 8 local store. How the poison, thought to be rough-on-rats. got into the four is a mystery. It seems to be certain that the four contained the poison because all who ate of the bread were made i'll. One died last night and several others are in a serious condi- tion. The family, named Barfeld, lives on the Sol Heinemann farm. Phy- sicians are Investigating.

Clark and Mann Calm.

Although the next speakership is at stake, the two most unconcerned men in the house of representatives today seemingly are Champ Clark, the Demo- cratic speaker. and Representative James R. Mann, the Republican floor leader. No one knows definitely yet how the next house is to stand. It may be a tie between the Democrats and the Republicans with half dozen men of other parties or no parties hold ing the balance of power. Mir. Clark naturally wants to succeed himself as speaker. MT. Mann unquestionably would hail the opportunity to be speak CT in his own behalf. Any day may bring a change in the membership of the next house of representatives for several seats are in dispute. if the Democrats secure a majority, of course Clark will be reelected speaker. Mann perhaps gets the job if the balance goes the other way.
 These two party leaders, rivals for the highest office in the gift of the house, and in power the second highest office in the government, are exceeding ly friendly, even though they TOW it'' q good deal on the floor. The friends of both seemingly are much more con- cerned over the future than is either one of the men who have most at stake.
 Wilson Faces Another Ordeal.
 President Wilson is facing the oreal of another inauguration. Why ordeal? Because despite the pomp and glory of the thing, presidents time out of mind have imported to their personal i friends in advance of the swearing-in process that they rather dreaded the turmoil and the toll of it all.
 Every four years the good people of this city are torn up, while the city Itself also is more or less torn up. in the apt-to-be stormy month of Febru- ary. There are signs of the tearing np of the residents of this town already, i for they are bent on having an in augural ball. and seemingly the presi- dent is bent on not having one.
 There was no inaugural ball four years ago. Mir. Wilson said mo-" and l of course, the citizens committee | which has charge of the inaugural pro l ceedings. of necessity was forced to bow to the word The chances are year. and there is the evidence of dis appointment among the citizenry that was manifest four years ago.

Labor Law Troubles.

The eight-hour law. as it has come to be called, and which was read into the statute books within the span of 4S hours near the close of the last session, is variously spoken of here as an act of justice, an act of injustice, an act brought into being by coercion and an act which went through be- cause of it's manifest righteousness.
 However it is viewed, no member of congress denies that labor scored vic tory. Now there seems to be a desire to do something in behalf of capital if one may speak of the employers as capital The legislation which is caus- ing most trouble for the lawmakers is that which proposes an amendment to the existing statute which provides for arbitration, so that full public in vestigation of the merits of any dis pute shall be instituted before q strike or a lockout lawfully may be at tempted.
 This proposed amendment is similar to a law which they have in Canada. It is objected to by many representa- tives of labor and 1t seems likely that there will be hard fight on it before it finally is passed, although the out look apparently is that passed it will

CONGRESS Is BUSY
MEMBERS NOT WORRIED OVER THE HUGE AMOUNTS THAT
 ARE TO BE EXPECTED.
SANCTIONED BY THE PEOPLE
Additional Legislation Concerning Railway Labor Troubles Causes Some Concern-Clark and Mann
 Not Distressed About Next Congress.
By GEORGE CLINTON.

Washington.-Congress is quickstep- ping along on the first lap of the track which by times measure runs three months. The representatives of the people show no particular concern be- cause they face appropriation esti- mates that reach the ought-to-be stag gering total of one and three-quarter billions.
 The country's necessity" is the salve which keeps down the fever of resentment and protest. AS a matter of fact the congressman seem to be- heve sincerely that the huge amounts to be expended are, under existing con ditions, rather modest in their propor- tions. Preparedness costs mulch, but they look upon preparedness as insur- ance. The country, it is known, to a considerable extent is divided on this issue, but it is held that the election returns show that sanction has been given to the appropriations program presented to congress last year and continuing this year. and so signs of worry are conspicuous by their absence at the capitol.
 Just now the legislation which in a sense is an offset to the so-called eight hour legislation is engaging the atten- ton of the members of both houses and moreover is somewhat troubling the men who must frame the acts which are to become law. The presi- dent has urged that this legislation take specific form, and as the admins tration's party holds control of both houses at present by a big majority, the presidents will in the matter prob ably will be done

years and that conditions there have
been terrible If he is not nedeavor-

the institution now We do not know
what he is doing, and We cannot un-
derstand why he should be talking
so much about what he has done and
how bad things were before and
showing where he gave his personal
note to increase the pay of the sup
erintendent and how he paid the
same out of his own pocket. We are
not prepared to believe all that is
said about conditions before and con-
