GENERAL GAME AND
 FISH MEASURE WILL
 CONSERVE WILD LIFE
Representative Baldi Vinson.
 Champion of Measure, Has De voted Twelve Years Studying PrOvisiOns-MakeS Statement

Little Rock, Feb. 2O-Representa- tive Baldi Vinson of Chicot, the cham pion in the House of the general fish and game bill, has devoted twelve years of study to it's provisions, and is confident that it will solve the ques- tion of the conservation of wild life in the state. In calling attention to some of the things already accom- plished by the present commission, he said:
 "Wardens of the state commission save from overflow during the last high water more than one hundred deer, and more than 200 were fed by wardens and citizens and protected from dogs.
 "The state of Maine derives more revenue from licenses, fines and pen alties than it cost the state to main tain its state government proper. The Eastern provinces of Canada derive practically as much as the cost of their government. All the Northwestern states derive large revenue above the cost of protection. California re- ceived during 1916 more than $450,- 900.
 "Arkansas with only S1 license to hunt deer, $1 for fishing with artificial bait, received in 1916 and 1915, since the law went into effect, approximate ly S1S,000 per year, and now has over SS,000 in the treasury, after paying all expenses of the commission in game protection under the 1915 law. It is believed that under the law just passed by the General Assembly, the state will receive between s75,000 and S100,000.
 During the season 1914-15 there were shipped from Jonesboro alone S170000 worth of ducks, instead of 17O,000 barrels, as stated heretofore Federal wardens report that over 75,- 900 barrels were shipped from Missis- sippi county, total og 6,333,0O ducks. At an average of l6 2-3 cents each these would amount to $1,07S,333 i During the twenty months prior to June, 1916, there were shipped from the state 20,000,O00 pounds of fish al an average value of S2,000,000. It is therefore seen that more than $3,- GOO, ,O00 of the natural resources oi the state go out each year in fish and game, and over 75 per cent is shipped out by non.residents who pay no li- cense and fish in violation of the rights of the people who own the game and fish, and who asking that this law be enforced for the protec- ton of their rights"

been adopted, and the fight then commenced on the report the committee of the whole would make The motion that it report back un- favorably was met with a substitute that the bill be reported back without recommendation These motions were voted down and the Senate then asked leave to report progress and beg leave to sit again on the bill. This bill car ried a $5,000 appropriation for the expense of the commission. Consider able argument was spilled on the status of the bill, but the opposition was so strong against the creation of new department, it did not seem to matter much with many, if it had a status at all.
 Then the Senate called the Garrett bill creating the public utilities com mission from the judiciary committee and began to shoot it with amend ments. The utilities now controlled by city councils were eliminated, and the act was made effective the first of the coming year The Senate was fighting over the amendment making the commissioners appointive by the governor at the hour of adjournment it being substituted for an amendment making the terms of commissioners six years.
 Senator Bush introduced a bill in the afternoon session to repeal the publicity act. His bill leaves the matter to the people at the next gen. eral election Other bills introduced were by Senators Adamson, to pre- vent tubercuiar persons teaching schools; Ward, to give county courts the power to condemn railroad em- bankments for levee purposes; Cald- well, for the creation of the Rob Roy and Reydel road districts in Jefferson county; Ponder, creating the Running Water levee district and the Cave City school district in Lawrence county.

ONLY FOURTEEN MORE WORKING DAYS
 FOR LAW MAKERS
Senate Passed Eight General and
 Two Local Bills Monday Bank Guaranty Bill Lost on
 Tie-AbSentee Voter Bill Law.

Little Rock, Feb. 20.-Evdence that the Senate is awake to the fact that it now has but II working days of the session before it, was demon- strated by the way it worked Monday. In the forenoon session it passed eight general bills, and two local ones, among them being the Collier bill re- gulatng banks In the afternoon it continued the work by passing the Duty bill for a guaranty of bank de- posits. The Collier bill provided for deposits being guaranteed by each bank through an increase of the lia- bility of the stockholder. This bill presented one of the most strenuous battles yet seen in the Senate. It was passed by vote of F to 16, but was left open for reconsideration. | The afternoon was we'll over when Senator Hester called up the bank guaranty bill, which bore the names of Senators Duty, Bush, Hester and Garrett. The Senate knew it was in for battle, and immediately the previous question" was moved and carried, which limited the debate for thirty minutes to each side. The ar gument showed that the Senators had gone deeply into the guaranty systems of other states, but those who opposed the bill declared that Arkansas has a banking system, and banking com mission, superior ot any of them, pointing out the small number of fail ures in state banks since the law went into effect. Senators Caldwell, God win and Ruff spoke against the bill, praising highly the present laws, and declaring that the Collier bill is a suf ficient protection. Senators AleXan- der, Brown, Cabiness, Garrett and Duty spoke for the bill.
 The vote on the measure was as follows:
 Aye-Alexander, Brown, Bush, Ca biness, Carruth, Duty, Edmondson, Emory, Garrett, Greenhouse, Hester, Jones, Rogers. Sims, Utley, Vann and Ward-17
 Nay-Adamson Burgess, Caldwell, Collins, Goodwin, Johnston, Kendall, King, Moncrief, Owens, Ponder, Ruff, Slaughter, Smead, Whitaker and Mir. President-16.
 As soon as the bill was declared carried Senator Duty was recognized and offered 8 motion that the vote by which the bill passed be reconsidered and that motion laid on the table. There was opposition to this and Sen ators voted by rising until there was so much confusion that President Davenport declared he would force roll call. The Senate then voted 17 to 1T on the motion, and it was de- clared lost on tie, hence the bill re- mained in the Senate and subject to reconsideration within three days.
 Again the Senate went to the mat with a bill when the Caldwell bill ere atine the Arkansas commission for charities and corrections was consid- cred in committee of the whole. The bill was brought up as privileged measure, but when it was read, the question was raised that the bill was not privileged, but the sections had

On the Italian northern front, the

south to the Venetian plains. Monte

confirmed.
"One of our pilots attacked and
fired two drums of ammunition into
a raider as the later was in the act of
dropping bombs ON London from a
height Of $4,000 feet. Another of

GEN. SARRAIL RECALLED
FROM SALONIk

London, Dec. 19.-General Sarrail,
commander of the allied armies at
Saloniki, has been recalled, accord
ing to newspaper announcement In
Athens, says a Reuter- dispatch from
the Greek capital under date of De-
cember Is. His successor, It is stated,
will be General Guillemet.
General Sarrairs chief services pre-
vious to going to Saloniki were per
formed during the battle Of the
Marine, when he held the German
crow princes army in the Argonne
and prevented the investment Of Yer.
dun, and in the Dardanelles. where
he commanded the French expedition
airy force after General Gouraud was
wounded and subsequently relieved
in August, 1915.
Although there are several officers
bearing the name of Guillemet in the
French army, it seems not improb-
able that the mar selected to succeed
General Sarrail may be General Gull
emet, who commanded the French
armies at Verdun during their bril-
liant operations last summer when
they completed the recovery Of vir-
tually all the ground the Germans
had won in 1916.

LABOR SHORTAGE
AND BAD WEATHER
10y Leased Wire to New Mexican.)

(By Leased Wire to New Mexican.)
. Washington, Dec. 19.--FWinter wheat
this year planted on the largest acre
age ever sown in the history of the
country showed on December 1 the
lowest condition on record. A fore.
cast of a crop of only $40, 900 900 bush.
els was made today by the department
of agriculture. The final production,
however, will be above OF below that
quantity, according, as conditions
hereafter are better or worse than
the average.
Winter wheat sown this fall aggre-
gate 42,75O,000 acres and its condition
December ! was 70. per cent of a nor.
NAL, the department announced. The
acreage is 4 per cent more than re-
vised estimate In the fall of 1916.
The area sown to rye is 6,11a,000
acres, which is 1866 per cent more
than sown a year ago and the condi-
ton of the crop on December /, was
84.1 per cent of a normal.
In a statement interpreting today's
report, the department said:
1.-THE acreage planted to winter
wheat is estimated to be 42,170 900
acres, an increase of A per cent over
the area planted a year ago. In the
campaign to produce a billion bushels
of wheat next year to feed u allies,
an acreage of 47,337,0OO of winter
wheat was advocated. Failure to
reach this amount was not due ap-
parently to the intention of farmers,
but to the adverse conditions, I'm.
favorable weather, late harvest, or
other crops and shortage of farm
help.
"The fall was exceedingly dry in
many important sections, particularly
in the southwest-South Dakota, Ok.
lahoma and Texas, and in the far
west-Idaho and Washington.
Although the increase is less than
hoped, the acreage is the largest ever
planted. A forecast is not usually
made from the December. condition
reports. because great changes can
occur between now and harvest, for
better or worse.
But it may be observed that in
the past 10 years the yield g acre
on the planted acreage was 14.4
bushels. On this basis a condition
of 1913 would forecast a yield OF
about IL. bushels, which, on 42,170,-
600 acres, would produce about $40.
000, 900 bushels; it may be assumed
that the outturn of the crop will
be above or below this figure, &C.
cording as conditions hereafter are
better or worse than available con-
ditions. In 1917, the crop was about
41S, 900 900 bushels; in 1916 it was
4S1. 600, 900 and the average of the
preceding five years a SAC, 900, 900 |
bushels.

3ABST REFUTES CHARGES
OF CLAUS SPRECkELS

Washington, Dec. 19.-Car shortage
and not attempts Of refiners to ma.
,ipulate supplies or prices were at
ributed as largely the cause Of the
iugar shortage by Earl D. Babst,
resident of the American Sugar Re.
ming company, testifying before the
enate investigating committee today.
lie refuted testimony of Claus A.
:preckels that George M. Rolph,
General manager of the California.
Hawaiian company, and director of
he sugar division of the food adj
ninistration declined to allow sup
plies to ome east from his W
refinery at a time Spreckels was
threatened with being forced to close
his plant by saying that Rolph and
)ther refiners offered to let Spreck.
els have $4,000 tons at the basic
price set for Cuban sugar by the in.
-ernational committee. Babst denied
re had anything to do with the fix
ing of the price of beet sugar and
chat he had any connection with
setting the price of Louisiana sugar.
He admitted, however, as Spreckels
charged, that he attended conferences
with the Louisiana planters and
members of the food administration
IN Washington, but said that when
prices were discussed he withdrew
from the conference. He stated that
he agreed with the planters to take
, part Of the crop at any price the
administration fixed. Babst concur
red in Spreckels' testimony that on
the same day the price was fixed
at the food administration headquar.
ters here, the planters came to his
hotel and he contracted for $4,000
short tons for immediate shipment.
This was done before the fact that
the price which had been fixed was
published, he said. Spreckels charged
hat he was told to keep out Of the
Louisiana market by the food admin
~istration until the price was set, ami
that he did not have a fair oppor.
to get these supplies after the
price agreement had been reached.
