PRESIDENT CANNOT ARM MERCHANTMEN TWELVE MEN BLOCK BILL President Wilson Says Senators Have Rendered U. s. Helpless and
 COntemptible.

Washington, March B. Several senators, led by Senator LaFollette and encouraged by Senator Stone, Democratic chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, in a filibuster, denounced by President Wilson's spokesman as the most reprehensible
 in the history of any civilized nation, defied the will of an overwhelming majority in Congress up to the last minute yesterday and denied to the president a law authorizing him to arm American merchant ships to meet the German submarine menace.
 Unyieldng throughout 26 hours of continuous session to appeals that their defiance of the president would be humiliating to the country; un- compromising in crisis described as the most serious to the nation since the civil war, LaFollette and his supporters refused majority of their colleagues an opportunity to vote on the armed neutrality bill, and it died with the sixty-fourth congress at noon.
 To fix responsibility before the country, 76 senators, 30 Republi- cans and 46 Democrats, signed a man. ifesto proclaiming to the world that they favored passage of the meas use.
 This declaration was embodied in the record of the senate
 President Wilson last night inform ed the country in a statement that he may be without power to arm merchant ships and take other steps to meet the German submarine men, ace, in the absence of authority from congress.
 An extra session of congress, the president says, is required to clothe him with authority, but it is useless to call one while the senate works under the present rules which per init small minority to keep an over whelming majority from acting.
 The president proposes, therefore, that the special session of the sen- ate which he has called to meet to- day, revise the rules, "to supply the means of action and save the coun- try from disaster"
 "A little group of willful men," says the president in his statement, representing no opinion but their own, have rendered the great gov ernment of the United States help less and contemptible"

and the most of the praises come from men who opposed to his SC lection as the presiding officer of the senate. President Davenport has ruled absolutely without bias On every question that has come before him. He has voted one way and ruled another, time and again. He began by being more lenient with his opponents in the matter of con- mittee appointments than anyone thought possible. He seemed to for get on the day of his selection to the office, who were his friends and who were his enemies, and from that time on all have looked alike to him.
 President Davenport is what most people would term a liberal. He is all ways for the moral and the right, but he is not narrow in his views, as are most people who pose in this light. Senator Davenport has never been a battle ax" man, and he never oPPooCu HioIiol Co duJouII. I1e was sound in the belief that men could do more work, and better work, by spending more time in committees and less on the floor. He voted for liberal appropriations, on the theory that quality is better than quantity, just the same as he does in his pri- vate dealings.
 In addition to other qualities, President Davenport not only sur prised his friends and foe by turning out to be a first grade parlimenta- rian, but he uncorked a sense of hu- nor that many times took the senate out of snarl and put it back in working order, and in such a manner that there were no animosities. Of- ten this had to be done in some other way than by parliamentary procedure, and President Davenport was not the man who was afraid to tread on thin ice if he saw a straight road ahead. In the whole session President Dav- enport did not once suffer the humili- ation of an appeal from the decision of the chair. It is probable that no president of the Arkansas senate ev- CT left legislative session with so many friends as does the one who retires Thursday at noon. They say that President Davenport has other, and higher political aspirations. If he has, he will find 34 members of the 1917 senate ready, with oratori- cal pipes we'll oiled, to stump his district whenever he sends out the political sos.

SECURES HIS LIQUOR
 VIA REPLfYIN ROUTE
Gallon of White Mule" Shipped here Causes Lots of Worry
 Before Being Realeased.

A gallon of alcohol expressed from Memphis, Tenn, to Conway, con- signed to Charles Cravens, was ac- corded considerable attention before it was delivered. The shipment ar rived last Tuesday night. Cravens appeared at the express office to get it, but the agent refused to turn 1t ever to him until he received a writ ten order from Prosecuting Attorney G. Otis Bogle. The consignee tele- phoned to the prosecutor, but the of ficer said he would not issue an order.
 After exhausting nearly every con- ceivable means of securing his white mule," Cravens consulted a local attorney. The attorney sug- gested that he secure writ of re- plevin.
 Cravens appeared before Justice Geo. M. Easterwood Saturday after noon and secured the writ, putting up Ia $7 cash bond, the amount being double the value of the liquor. The paper was given to Constable E. L. King to serve, but the officer re- fused to act. R. T. Markham then was sworn in as special deputy. but when he appeared at the express office and demanded the goods, the agent again refused to turn it over.
 Sheriff w. w. Bishop was appeal ed to. The replevin papers were given to him, and he went to the express office. After signing several papers, which, it is said, released the express company from liability, the alcohol was given to him. He, in turn, gave it to Cravens.
 A few hours after the shipment was released by the express company, G. E. Owen and V. D. Hill had a cross-bond issued, by which they hoped to prevent the package from being opened until the case was heard was heard in court. They maintained that the sheriff should have kept the alcohol in his posses sion two days before turning it over to the consignee.
 The original replevin case will be heard before Justice Easterwood on March 15.
