COTTON CASES
 MUST BE TRIED
 IN THIS COUNTY
Chancellor Elliott Enjoins Proceedings Started in
 Illinois Court.

Judge John M. Elliott yesterday entered an order granting the ap plication of the St. Louis Southwes' tern Railway company for tempo rary injunction restraining the J. E. Speers company and the Sea Insur' ance company. limited, from prose cutting the suit against tle Cotton Belt in the courts of Cook county, Ills, or in any tribunal except q court of competent jurisdiction hay ing jurisdiction of said cause of act ion in Jefferson county, Arkansas, ,ll- til the further orders of the court.'
 In anticipation of the decree hand ed down by Judge Elliott, the com plainants in the Illinois case have filed suits in the Jefferson county circuit court.
 The litigation grows out of the fire at the Doris B. compress in Nov ember, 1915, when loss of $1,0O0,O ,OO0 was caused. The insurance compan- ies, the real compliments, have set tied with the original sufferers, and are seeking to recover from the Cot ton Belt, charging that the fire was caused by sparks from a locomotive
 Judge Elliott upheld the railroads contention in it's application for all injunction that statute provides that such suits should be prosecuted in the county where the fire occurred

Consideration of Resolution in Both Senate and House
 Begins at Noon.
SPECIFIC CAUSES
 FOR WAR OMITTED
nebate in Both Houses Will Be Prin. cinally of Inserting the Names of Germany'S Other
 Allies.

Washington, Dec. GA declaration of war with Aust1a-Hungary prom ;sed tonight to be voted by congress within the next 24 hours.
 Consideration of the war resolu' tion will begin tomorrow ill both sen ate and house, and developments to day virtually made it certain that sentiment in favor of including de, clarations against Trukey and Bull garia had been checked.
 Administration leaders of both bod ies tonight expressed confidence that debate will be comparatively brief and that the declaration would be approved by overwhelming vote be- fore adjournment tomorrow.
 Want Unanimous Approval.
 The only obstacle lies i.l the diff fculties of senate procedure and tech meal differences over the form of the final draft. Unanimous consent, re- quired under senate rules, for i'm mtdiate discussion of the resolution will be sought by Chairman Stone of the foreign affairs committee, wno believed tonight that no senator would object, and that the matter would be disposed or before adjournment, diff ferences between the senate and house resolutions quickly adjusted and the final draft sent to the presl, dent tomorrow night. L
 i. Objection by single senator, how ever, would force over the resolution until Saturday.
 Seeking The Cause.
 The house reports dealt in detail for the cause for the declaration, directing attention to Austrian sub, marine depredations, her approval oi the German submarine warfare and the intrigues and plots of her official representatives in this country.
 The senate committees resolution makes war effectivea when the presi- dent approves the resolution, instead as provided in the house documen, dating the state of war from noon yesterday. Specific causes for wat assigned in the house draft also are omitted in the senate commiMe'e' s draft, which is virtually identical with the declaration against Ger many.
 Debate in both branches is expected 10 bear principally on the question oi inserting the names of Germany otner allies. Senators Lodge of Mass., and Borah of Idaho, Republi cans, led a fight in the senate com mlttee to extend the resolution tc turkey and Bulgaria. They hai stiong support, but information sub mltted by the state department final resulted in the unanimous appro va Tn the declaration against Austria
