ASKS COURT FOR LINCOLN
Counsel for British Consul Files
Reasons for Demanding
Extradition.

Counsel for the British consul gener-
al at New York today filed with the
Supreme Court brief setting forth
the reasons for demanding the extradi-
ton of Ignatius Timothy Tribich Lin
coin from the United States to Eng
land on a charge of forgery.
Lincoln was formerly a member of
parliament and figured in a sensational
escape from custody in New York after
his arrest for extradition. He sought
his freedom from eXtradition in habeas
corpus proceedings in the New York
federal courts, and, defeated there. he
appealed to the Supreme Court. His
appeal will be considered Monday
when oral arguments will be heard.
Lincoln Charges Political Reasons.
Lincoln claims the British govern
ment is seeking extradition in order to
try him for a political offense
Counsel for the consul general point
ed out in his brief that in the treaty
between the United States and Great
Britain is a provision that no one sur
rendered by either country shall be
tried or punished for any political
crime or offense. He urged the court
would not presume Great Britain would
violate the treaty by trying Lincoln
for any political offense.

No Indication of Withdrawal.

Apparently the immediate withdraw
al of the American forces in Mexico is
not contemplated. 1t is understood
that the success of the de facto govern
ment in demonstrating its intention and
ability to hunt down Villa and his ban
dts, in event the American expedition
is recalled. would have weight with
President Wilson in reaching a decision
regarding the matter.
President Wilson had before him to-
day several long messages from Cen
Funston. They We're presented to him
by Secretary of War Baker at mid
night conference last night. The Secre-
tarys visit at such a late hour attract
ed considerable interest here. although
he declared afterward that no signifi-
canoe could be attached to it.

ton of Poindexter Bill.

AS soon as he has an opportunity to
write out his report. Senator Pomerene
of Ohio will formally submit the Poin-
dexter District delegate bill to the SEN
ate favorably, such action having been
ordered by the District committee Of
the Senate yesterday. This will put the

Senator Pomerene said today that he
hoped to get the bill up for considera-
ton and action at the present session
of Congress. He admitted, however,
that owing to the great pressure of
country. it might not be possible to get
action on the bill before Congress ad-
journs.
You never can tell what the Senate
may do however" he added. and if the
calendar is taken UP the bill may be
reached.

senators, it is stated, who will oppose
any representation of the District in

large colored population here makes
such elections undesirable, and that the
colored voters might hold the balance
of power.

Says Poems Face Starvation.

Economic conditions in Mexico are
more menacing to the hopes of
storation of order and the avoidance
try and the United States. than any
political conditions, according to an
American who returned here today
from a tour which embraced most of
the territory north of Mexico City.
This man. who is identified with largo
American interests in Mexico. brought
reports of the destruction by mobs of
the American plants and warehouses in
several places.
These outbreaks he said are in
my judgement far more economic than
political. The condition of the masses
of the people throughout northern
Mexico is terrible. Magnificent farm
lands, capable of raising almost any
crop in the world. have been lying
untitled for five.years. The poems live,
or rather exist, in misery. Plain star.
yation faces thousands of them.
The trouble is that they have been
sedulously taught by asitators to be-
lieve that all their woes are due to the
foreigners. They have never seen a
poor, ill-nourished American and the
traditional envy of the people for the
we'll to do has grown in their case to
a mania.
They are. of course. extremely igno-
Carranza factions. who are many IL di.
vided. consistently tell them that Car.
rama is in the pay of the Americans,
who going to seize all Mexico and
take what little they have left away
from them.

Basis for Formation of Union.

The basis for the formation of the
union is outlined in the cali as fol-
lows:
Every class of people in the coun-
try, including capital, labor and the
professions, have nation wide organi-
cations for their protection and we'll
being. The teachers alone remain IN
an unorganized condition.
The teachers of this country. through
the molding of the political thought
and the developing of the economic eff
ficiency of each succeeding generation
of citizens. control, more than any 9TH
er class of,people, the future of the re-
public and have the least control over
their own destiny.
"A nation-wi organization of teach
ers, consolidated for protection, would
be recognized by the political parties,
by capital. and by labor as body pos
sessing unwonted power.
Such an organization would give the
teachers of the country a voice in their
own affairs which they do not at pres
ent pOSSeSS.

POTOMAC BRIDGE
House Committee Views Given
to War Department by
Chairman AdamSon.
SECRETARY BAKER THINKS
THE PROJECT is FEASIBLE
Plan Is for Substantial Structure to
Arlington Cemetery Minus Ex-
pensive Memorial Features.

According to Representative w. G.
Adamson. chairman of the House COM
mittee on interstate and foreign COM
merce which committee has charge of
bridge legislation that committee will
favor bill providing for a substantial
bridge across the Potomac river from
the foot of New York avenue to Ar
lington cemetery. to cost not more than
S4.000.O00. He embodied the views of
the committee in a letter to the Secre-
tary of War. showing clearly the oppo-
sition of the committee to the old plan
of building "a memorial bridge at that
point according to the approved plans
of Architect Fury estimated to cost
s6,0O0,G00.
THE committee has no intention. a l
understand their idea" said Represen-
tative Adamson, TO fall into the old
memorial bridge idea. nor do / believe
that Congress is in any hurry to pass
any such legislation, nor that it has
ever been. This committee, for the
eighteen years ] have been member
of it. has been of the idea that sub
stantiaI. useful bridge should be built,
without gewgaws or superf1uous orna-
mentation. to extend from the foot of
New York avenue across to Arlington,
the bridge to he in keeping with the
magnificence of the Treasury building
and the Capitol The committee has
no sympathy with the gewgaws and
f1ummery and great expense suggested
in a memorial bridge plan. The COM
mittee prefers to put every dollar spent
in the substance of the bridge and to
build bridge substantially and so
well that it will last forever, in so'far
as human ingenuity can do that, and
then follow that up with a provision
that private capital patriotic societies
and anybody else who pleases may put
memorials on the bridge, with the ap
proval of the government officials au-
thoriZed to pass on il.

Sends Copy of Bill.

"Inasmuch as YOU have had the
labor of going over this matter again.
] will send you copy of a bill and ask
you if it is possible to build such
bridge as planned by that bill for s4.-
000.090. leaving out the word me-
mortal and leaving out. all of the incl
expenses carried with them. If such a
substantial structure can be built for
S4,O00,060, 1 believe the committee and
Congress Mould authorize 1T, but I do
not think they are disposed at this time
to go beyond that.
committee from this committee has
prepared such a plan. but before it
could have it acted on in the House
the Senate has broken up the scheme
by putting the same old idea on an
appropriation bill, and we have been
compelled to go in the House and help
kill it. If the patriotic people who
have been pretending to want this
bridge will join with US and help Sc
cure the erection of good, useful,
substantial structure. leaving some
margin for those clamoring for the
their patriotism by contributing mon
ey to make the memorial feature. in
my Judgment they can get bridge
that would be worthy of the capital.
.If your department will kindly read
this letter and answer the question
whether a substantial bridge. without
plummery and gewgaws. can be built
for $4,000 900 we would be glad for
YOU to do so, as that is what this com
mittee would like to know. If the
bill is reported out. it will be reported
out in such way as to require 1t to
be built for 81, ,00O, 900 or whatever sum
is requisite TO build the kind OF

Border Alarm Continues.

The alarm along the border caused
by the request OF Gen. Carranza for
the withdrawal of the American troops
had far from subsidized today. FL
Paso is filled with refugees who have
interests in Mexico, ranging from for
tunes to hopes.
These refugees are said generally to
favor Intervention and have been
greatly excited by reports that Presi-
dent Wilson contemplated withdrawal
of the expeditionary force. Stories OF
the looting and destruction of American
property in Mexico and of hostilities
toward Americans by Mexicans are the
taple topic of conversation in this
city and lose nothing in the telling.
The only authentic information re.
ceived here from the interior comes in
a few stray messages in code. which
are received by the representatives of
large mining and lumber concerns
which maintain headquarters here. Up
to date these messages have reported
only spasmodic rioting by hungry
mobs. with incidental destruction Of

FATE OF AMENDMENT

Doubtful ii H Receives a Majority of Total
 Votes Cast.
(Arkansas Gazette)

Official returns received by the Gazette from B of the 75 coun- ties yesterday still left in doubt whether Amendment No. II, the good roads amendment, will be adopted. The vote in the B coun- ties for the amendment was 56, : 298 and against it45, 819. While it is practically certain that the measure will receive a majority of the vote for and against it, it is doubtful whether it will re- ceiye majority of the total vote cast. The total vote cast in the52= counties for governor was 115834. The vote for amendment No. IA was 1,623 less than g majority of this.
 It is evident that the total vote was more than 150, 000, the la1g est ever cast In the state. Even should it reach 160,000 the vote already accounted for in the 52 counties will be sufieient,to a. dopt Act No. 1, the primary law, and Amendment, -.No. 12, the schosl alhendment.

FARMERS SHIPPING
 MANY BU. POTATOES
High Price Causing Pos tatoes to be Moved
 Rapidly.

For the past week the farmers have been busy hauling potatoes to town. It has been a common sight each day to see from two to ten wagons. waiting to unload at the building next door to Forbes Bros. Store, where they are being handled. It IS estimat- ed that there are now between 2,000 and 2,500 bushels potatoes in the building, and about 600 bushels in the Kittler building.
 We are informed that seven carloads have been disposed of through the Fruit Growers Asso- citation, two of which have al- ready been shipped. The price has ranged from S1.75 to S2.O0 per bushel and each carload will average 450 bushels.
 Most of the potatoes are being sack ed but two cars for shipment to Ft. Smith will be loaded in bulk.
 Three carloads have been sold through the Shippers Union for immediate shipment.

GOVERNdR OF KANSAS
 TELLS OF PROHIBITION
sta te-WIde Prohibition
 For 34 Years.

Arthur T. Capper, Governor of Kansas, III a recent issue of Bry- ans Commoner, says:
 "One of the greatest blessings ever bestowed upon the people of this state, and the law which is doing more to make good men women and to bring prosperity and happiness to the people of Kansas, is the amendment to the constitution prohibiting the traf- fife il intozicat ng liquor.
 Prohibit on has been on trial in Kansas for thirty-four years - a sufficient length of time to give adequate evidence of it's merits and demerits. And at the end of nealy generation under prohi- bltion 1t may truthfully said that the prohibitory law was never so enforced as now and never so generally approved of by the peo- pie of the state. Approval in- deed, is too mild a word to ex- press the attitude of Kansas peo- pie toward this provision of the state constitution. Nine tenths of them are enthusiastically in favor of it.
 Itis the portion of the fundamen- tai law of the state that is near ct their hearts.
 "In short, prohibition is an un- qualified success in Kansas and our people would not think for one moment of going back to the sa- loon.
