BURGESS AND SIMS EXPELLED, 25 10 8
.SfNATE'S DRASTIC MOVE Indicted Senators Reported to Have Made Full Confession of Re-
 ceiving Bribes.

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat
 Little Rock. Feb. 28.-By a vote of 25 to 8 the Arkansas senate this morning expelled two of it's members, lvison C. Burgess of Pope county and Samuel c. Sims of Prairie county, charged with having solicited and ac- cepted bribes. The resolution to expel the senators was introduced by Senator Bush last night, but action upon it was deferred until 10 o'clock this morning. The vote by which they were expelled was one more than the necessary two-t thirds.
 Allegations that Sims and Burgess made full confessions of the alleged transactions in the office of Prose- outing Attorney M. E. Dunaway after their arrest Friday night, were con- tained in testimony before the senate investigating committee, read at a special session of the senate last night to consider the charges and the report of the committee.
 Another allegation brought out in the transcript of the testimony taken by the committee was that the &C., cused senators had offered to "kill" the trading stamp bill by Burgess and other legislation of this kind for $500 more than the $1,OOO each they are alleged to have received.
 The committee made no recommen- dations. but immediately after the reading of the report and transcript of the evidence, Senator Bush offer ed resolution that the charges be sustained and that Senators Burgess and Sims be expelled fro mthe senate. He then moved that copies of the resolution be served upon the &C., cused senators by the sergeant-at- arms and that further consideration of the resolution be postponed until 10 o'clock this morning. This motion was adopted unanimously.

Goethals May Head
 Engineers In France

Washington, July 26.-Major Gen. George W. Goethals, U. S A, retired, has applied for active duty in France and, friends declare, has received vir- tual assurance he will be placed in charge of the tremendous engineering project connected with the occupa- ton by American forces of a large part of the allied line on the. western front. 5
 President Wilson is said to be strongly impressed with the feeling that a man of GoethaPs accomplish ments as an engineer should not be overlooked in the face of the great need for engineering talen and ad- ministrative genius in connection with the work of American forces abroad.
 One of the first demands made upon this country by the allies was that we furnish men and supplies for repairing and rebuilding thonsandsnof sr11ilessof railroad worn out by the tremendous traffic in military supplies behind the lines on the western front. To this task must be added the complete new system which the American force will need, the construction of new lines of communication as the positions of the armies change and the coordination or all these lines into one great scheme of military railways
 For this work the United States al- ready has sent over, thousands of men, railroad engineers. foresters and con- struction engineers, but the units so far sent over and the work undertaken represents, 1t is said, only a small part of the contribution expected. of this country in that line. The task in- xyfa1ry : .f munication for the big drive in which America is expected tol have upward of a million men. a ~
 Gen. GoebfAals has proved his ability to handle job of this kind His Panama, canal experience will have ap- plication to such a task. Moreover, much of the tried and proved per sonnel of his Panama canal organiza,- tion would still be available.
