 PrecedeS MOncrief'S Election
Caucus Unable to Agree Dewitt Senator Is Accepted
 Compromise Candidate for President Pro Fem.

Little Rock, March Administra- lion forces again won victory to- night when John W. Montcricf of Dewitt was elected president pro tenn over Ebert F. Goodwin of Melbourne on the first ballot. But it was ac- cOmpliShcd only after one of the most strenuous sessions the Arkansas sen ate ever held
 When s o'clock arrived there had been no business considered and 10 president was present to start the election. At S:3O patience ceased ;9 be virtue, and it then became evi- dent that large part of the senate was absent in q caucus. Senator Caldwell arose and declared that the time had passed for the converting of the senate, and, in the absence of the president. suggested that the body follow the rules of parliamentary pro- cedurc and select a temporary officer. Senator smith was called to the chair. He instructed the secretary to call the roll. Secretary Langley walked from the room, and Assistant Soecrc- tary Feeting stated he could not act without instructions from the secre- id1H. ocNlCldlS IAduSlSy itlul Hcu and called the rOll the following senators responding: Alexander, Brown, Caldwell, Collins, Duty, Ed mondson, Goodwin, Hester, Johnston, Jones King, Owens, Ponder, Ruff. Smith Ward, 16.
 Sergeant arms Casling was in structed to go out and bring in, under arrest and by f;,rce. if neces sary two more senators. He walked to President Davenport's office, in the corner of the building, where the remaining senators were caucusing in an effort to combine on one candi- date. He was denied admittance, and so reported. Several then advised the appointment of an officer who would kick in the door, or gain ad- mission by force. Others advised that the senators be c:ted for con tempt.
 Acting President Smith sent for the custodian of the building, with in struction to secure a key that would unlock the door.
 Excitement by this time was run

found with the other stuff at the Tippett home.
 Detective Smith has been at work on these cases since the first of them was reported to police headquarters. Gradually he has centered his efforts, until the arrest last evening of the three white boys. There has been no report made by the Henry Marx com pany of a robbery, but some of the clothing recovered last night was said to have been taken from that store.
 Chief Stewart last night heartily complimented Detective Smith on the work he had done in this case, and especially in having so handled the case that the greater part of the stolen goods was recovered. It has not yet been decided how many sep arate charges will be made against the boys, but this decision will likely be reached today, when all the goods at police headquarters are identified and given a value by the owners.
 Tippett lives at 1901 East Sixth ave- nue. Meeker lives in Ohio street and Puckett lives in Nebraska street. The police say they have had trouble with these boys before although never for anything except minor offenses.

Will Tippett, Dave Meeker and Cur ran Puckett, white boys, whose ages are given as about 17 years, were ar rested yesterday afternoon by Detec- tive Richard Smith of the police de- partment, and are prisoners at the police station, awaiting formal hear ing on several charges of burglary and grand larceny.
 Following the arrest of the boys, several members of the police depart ment were busy for several hours hauling to police Headquarters goods found in the loft at Tippett's home, and which, it is alleged, the boys stole from local business houses.
 The boys were closeted with Chief of Police Stewart for an hour or more, and it is said they finally kicked in," admitting that they had visited local business houses at nights, and that the stuff they had taken could be found at Tippett's home.
 Such a variety of goods has not been hauled to police headquarters In two years or more, and such quantity Of stuff has not been taken there for identification by it's owners in even longer period. In the assortment was a lot of clothing and other wearing apparel, automatic shotguns, rifles, 10000 22-short cartridges, other cart ridges and shells, smoking tobacco, chewing tobacco, safety razor sets, cigars, watches. pocketknives and lot of other such stuff.
 The police will call upon the boys to answer to charges of having en- tered and robbed the Soltz cigar fac- tory about two weeks ago; the South ern Grocery company Tuesday night; Fox Brothers Hardware company Sunday night, and Henry Marx com pany at an indefinite date, which has not yet been ascertained positively
 That the boys also entered and rob- bed the sample room at the Jefferson hotel, about two weeks ago. developed when there was found in the loft at the Tippett home, quantity of stuff taken from the sample room, among the stuff being 40 shirts, 30 pairs of trousers, a suit of mems clothing, one mated pair of shoes and several sam ple shoes, not in pairs, as well as a quantity of hosiery.
 Some of the stuff which it is already known was stolen from the Fox Bros. Hardware store are two automatic rifles, one automatid shotgun, several large and small flashlights. some brushes and shells. From the South ern Grocery company a quantity of shells, cartridges, tobacco and other stuff was taken, while the Soltz cigar factory lost cigars, including, it is said, some of brand not yet put on the market, but box of which was

 When t appeared nothing could prevent violence, President Davcn- port led his followers tO tnc senate chamber. The caucus had failed to agree on either Sena,or Utley pr Senator Carruth. so compromised on Senator AIoncrlef
 President Davenport walked 10 his stand and picked up tLc gavel. with the customary command for the sen ate to come to order.
 "Mr. President the senate is already in session under the constitution, stated Senator smith after several al tempts to gain recognition from President Davenport.
 President Davenport continued to pound the table and ignored the act ing president. He calI,d for the roll and all senators answered to their names.
 Senator Utley nominated Senator Moncrief, and Senator Carruth sec onded the motion, Senator Alexander then nominated Senator Goodwin who had been one of the men to make an effort to gain admission to the office of President Davenport, and Senators, Ponder and Duty made seconding speeches.
 The roll was called and the sixteen senators who were not in the caucus voted for Senator Godwin, the re- mainder for Senator MOncrief.
 On motion of Senator Goodwin the choice of the senate ws.i made unani- nous, and Senator iMoncrief walked across the room and shook hands with Senator Goodwin.
 Quite an array of politicians ap- peared in the senate, evidently work ing in the interest of Senator Goodwin, T. J. Raney of the board of control and J. T. Burkett of the penitentiary commission were pieSent. Tine coterie applauded the speeches made for Senator Goodwin, Tut remained silent when the res,lt was an ] nounced.

In Interest of Efficiency, President Decides on Modi-
 fled Civil Service.
ORDER EFFECTIVE
 AFTER APRIL 1
POStmaSter-Gener Announcement StirS "HOrnet'S NcSt' at Capitol, Patronage Seekers DenOunc.
 ing the Order.

Washington. March 7.-Postmaster- General Burleson announced today that after April the appointment of all postmasters of the first, second and third class will be subject to competitive examination. Nomina- tions will be sent to the senate as in the past, but in making the selection the president will be guided by the result of the examinations, and will send in the names at the head of the lists.
 Whether the civil service commits sion, under which fourth-class post masters are now named, will conduct the examination has not been de- termined
 The presidents forthcoming order will provide for a form of modified civil service, under which all vacan- cies, whether caused by resignation, removal or death, will be filled by competitive examination. Those al- ready in service will continue without examination until the expiration of their fouryear term, beginning with the last appointment, and will then, it is understood, have to undergo the competitive test.
 Pie-Hunters "Up in Air" 1 A hornets nest was stirred up at 1 the capitol, where scores of members , were in their offices preparing to leave for home, by announcement of the presidents intention, and the order was roundly denounced by several Democratic leaders. Several members construed the order as move to get combined Democratic and Republican , support in political organization of l the house.
 Democratic congressman were told of the plan when group of Southern representatives called on MT. BurlesOn at his invitation to discuss plan for systematizing postal accounting by establishment of central auditing post 1 offices in county or group districts. | This subject was overshadowed, how ever, when the news of the civi! serv- ice order was broken. One asked if the postmaster-general had called them there to ask their views or tel! them of what had been decided on. Efficiency Measure. "I am telling you what is going to happen" he replied.
 The postmaster-general is quoted as having told them it is too late to pro- test, as the order had been determined upon and would be carried out, inti- mating he was not the author of 1t, but that it is measure of efficiency and economy.
 l Another member suggested that the order may put Republicans in office, as many of the more active assistant postmasters are Republicans. retained by Democratic postmasters. And still another wanted to know what would happen if the one man certified from the examination was a negro. Post master-General Burleson, according to those present, replied that the exami- nation would have to take place, and that there would be mo special priv ilege to anyone"

IRISH HOME RULE RESOLUTION bObS
 UP IN COMMONS Measure Precipitates One of the Most Bitter Debates
 in Months.
LLOYD GEORGE IS
 CALLED TURN COAT
Government Forced Into Declaration Oi Policy, Which Is That Any Part of Ireland May Have Self-GOy-
 ernmrnt, hut No Coercion.

London, March 7-Presentation by the Irish Natonalists in the house oi commons today of Q resolution asking for the immediate application of the home rule statute to Ireland. precipi- tated one of the most bitter sessions in months, and threw the home rule question back to it's old position of uncertainty.
 The resolution forcel the govern l. ment into a declaration of it's policy toward self government, namely that any part of Ireland that wished hom9 rule can have it, but that no coercion would be used to force it on Ulster At the same time, the proposition drew from the Ulsterites the ultima tum that they would not accept home rule, which, coupled with the govern ments proclamation, effectually crushed all hope for 8 speedy settle ment.
 The Nationalists, headed by their leader, John Redmond. were in con- ference tonight, having withdrawn in a body from the house. and Lloyd George was facing an embarrassing situation for the first lime since he assumed the premiership
 For more than an hour the premier faced the wilirlwind of angry out bursts from the Nationalists' quarter, which, at times, forcedhimto sit down becausehe was unable to make him self 1eard. He was called turn coat" on home rule, and one member exclaimed,
 "Carson is only fit to be hangman, not first lord of the admiralty"
 The Nationalist resolution was in- troduced by T. p. O'Connor, who crit; cised the manner in which the gov ernment had handled the Irish ques- tion. At one point he i,aid tribute to the president of the United States, saying that President Wilson had shown that the United States recog,- nizes the rights of small nations and the principals of nationality
 Mir. O'Connor was followed by John Redmond, who pleaded for compro- mise between the lNationalists and the Unionists.
 Lloyd George suggested two alter- natives to the governments proposal to grant home rule t) any part '>f Ireland that wishes it, one for a con- ference of Irishmen and others, and the other setting up commission 3f enquiry, to report to the government and to parliament.

Step Will Be Taken in Few Days, but Nature Has Not
 Been Disclosed.
UNWILLING TO LET
 SHIPS BE TIED UP
Possible That Vessels May Be Con. voyed by Warships, but More Like. 1y They Will Be Armed or
 Extra Session Called.

Washington, March New action by the president in the next few days in the situation resulting from the German unrestricted sl bmarine cam palgn was forecasted confidently to- day in administration quarters, but the form of the action, if it has been determined, has not been revealed.
 The possibilities are the arming of American merchantmen by the gov ernment in spite of old statutes. con- strued by some officials to prohibit it, the conveying of merchantmen by American warships, he immediate calling of an extra session of con- gress and the placing of American ships to be sent into the danger zone under government control
 Reports conveyed to the president during the day that prospects were excellent for prompt and favorable action on his suggestion for revision of the senate rules SC that action can be secured on the armed neutral ity bill were believed to bring the calling of an extra session nearer.
 While some officials, notably in the state department, have advised the president he has the power to arm merchantmen, others feel that such action would be stretching the law, and therefore inadvsaEle.
 The president is understood to feel that the tying up of American vessels in port cannot be allowed to continue much longer. Also he believes it has been clearly demonstrated that the nation is behind him in his steps to defend American lives and rights.
 The president was compelled to re. tire to his room with a cold this after noon, but previously he had conferred with Secretaries Lansing and Daniels. and with senators abou. cloture.
