HOUSE RfSFNTS
 SENATt'S ACTION

Little Rock, Feb. 3.-The action of the senate in tabling on first reading the Collier -Hardage bill to abolish the board of control and providing an honorary board, as recommended by Governor Brough, started a revolt in the house yesterday afternoon. It did Ifot get very far, but there are still rumblings of reprisals and re- taliation, which are likely to develop at any time. It first came to the front on a bill by Senator Ponder, who led the fight against the board of control bbill in the senate, to pro- vide for the reprinting of the supreme court reports. The bill was post poned until next Tuesday, after the speaker had ruled out of order a motion to defer the consideration of all senate bills until next Tuesday. The next senate bill was local in its nature, providing for the leasing of prisoners by cities in Drew county. Although it is legislative custom to vote for everybody's local bill, there were 2S members of the house who registered their resentment of the senate by voting against it, while "A voted for it. Mr. Waggoner pleaded against such tactics, and said it was not worthy the house.

WAR WITH CENTRAL POWERS IMMINENT CONGRESS HEARS WILSON President Delivers Special Message, Explaining Why MOmentOus Step
 Was Taken.

The United States has severed di- plomatic relations with Germany.
 Count vOn Bernstoff, the German ambassador, was handed his passports shortly after 8 o'clock this morning. At the same time messages were flashed to Berlin recalling Ambassa- dor Gerard from the German capital. This was the American reply to Germany's announcement of January 31 that on February the central powers would resume unrestricted submarine warfare.
 In the gravest position in which any American president has been placed since the Civil war, President Wilson appeared before joint ses- sion of the house and senate at 2 o'clock this afternoon and laid be- fore congress his reasons for break ing off diplomatic relations with Ger many. No hint of actual hostilities was contained in the presidents mes- sage, but everywhere it is regarded that war is inevitable. There have been few instances in history where a severance of diplomatic relations between two nations was not follow ed by war.
 Such declaration, however, is not expected until Germany commits some over act on the high seas which would be considered as unfriendIy or hostile So far no depredatiOns by German submarines in which American in- terests were involved have been re- ported. The only incident today was the reported sinking of a Spanish vessel.
 The Arkansas legislature, immedi- ately upon receipt of news of the di- plOmatic break this morning, adopted resolution endorsing the course of the president and pledging him the support of Arkansas.

STATE NORMA! 10 CfI l.9 MILL TAX AGREEMENT IS REACHED Arkansas University to Receive Four Ninths Mill and One Ninth for
 Branch Schools.

By an agreement reached between representatives of the six state edu- cational institutions and Governor Brough, the Arkansas State Normal School is to receive the revenue from a one-ninth mill tax levy, under the mlllage tax system, President J. J. Doyne stated today, on his return from the conference, which was held in Little Rock yesterday. The total millage tax agreed upon was one and one ninth mills for all six of the in stitutions, of which the University of Arkansas is to receive four -ninths for itself and one-ninth for its two allied institutions, the medical de- partment at Little Rock and the Branch Normal for negroes, at Pine Bluff. Each of the four agricultural schools is to receive the same as the State Normal School, one-ninth mill.
 A one-ninth mill levy will produce about $92,00 for the biennial period, President Doyne stated. This, he said, will be sufficient for the main tenance of the school at present, but would be insufficient to meet it's needs if the present rapid ratio of growth is maintained.
 Under the agreement reached yes terday all of the school interests committed themselves to the support of the appropriation of $175,000 for a new building and equipment for the State Normal, which is to be paid out of the general revenue of the state and not from the special tax levy.

COTTON RfCOVfRS AS WAR THREATENS REGAINS FRIDAYS LOSS Memphis Cotton Exchange Head De- clares Declines Do Not Affect
 Real Values.

In the face of the fact that war between the United States and the central powers is regarded as i'm minent, big advances were recorded in the New York and New Orleans cotton markets today. Yesterdays decline of 100 points was fully re- covered, March contracts in New York closing today at an advance of 1OS points over Fridays close.
 Memphis, Feb. 3.-At the direction of the board of directors, President D. s. Weaver of the Memphis cotton ex- change, issued statement yesterday in which he characterized the decline in futures prices of cotton of the last few days as absolutely unjustifid by legitimate spot or trade conditions. He said that the quotations on the flu ture boards would be ignored by hold CTS of spot cotton in this market.
 The statement was telegraphed to the New York and New Orleans cot ton exchanges, where futures boards are operated.
 The statement follows
 In view of the conditions existing in the speculative centers Of this country the Memphis cotton exchange desires to state that the cotton trade of Memphis and adjacent territory feels that the decline in quotations as represented in the future markets of New York and New Orleans is abso- lutely unjustified and is being ignored by the holders of spot cotton here.
 "There has been no disposition by banks or lenders to force the sale of cotton; on the contrary, a large part of this crop has been sold at full prices, making the position of holders of cotton stronger than ever before. Fundamental conditions remain un- changed. The supply is not sufficient to meet conservative estimates of con sumption Cost of production has been tremendously increased. Cotton is the cheapest textile in the world. Should our present political fears be realized exports will be facilitated rather than further interfered with.
