GOVERNMENT RAIL
 OWNERSHIP LOSES
to Make Co :roI h. definite is Delicate Radicals Also Defeated On Reducing Road Com oecsation.

Washir .or, Feb. 21.-Champions Of zoe ment ownership lost by an owe Uhelming vote in the Senate to- uay their fight for indefinite federal control of the railroads after the war. An amendment to the administration railroad bill, offered by Senator John son of South Dakota and providing that government control should con tlnue until Congress otherwise or dered, was defeated-61 to 10.
 Determined contests over disputed sections upset plans for passing the bill today in both houses of Congress, but the Senate disposed of all im- portant amendments and will reach final vote tomorrow. Discussion con- tinued in the House, where under an agreement to close general debate at 6 o'clock tomorrow night the leaders expect to pass the measure early next week.
 Senate debate was limited after 2 o'clock to 10 minutes and tomorrow it proceeds under fve-minute rule.
 The first test of strength upon the efforts of the so-called radicals to amend the compromise draft brought out by the Senate interstate com merce committee came on an amend ment by Senator Cummins of Iowa, designed to reduce by about $173,00O,- 900 compensation to be paid the rail roads. It was beaten, 52 to 23. In effect, Senator Cummins proposed that government compensation to the railroads should cover only normal dividends paid during the last three years and that earnings above divi- dends should be retained.

Berlin Declares Guns, Motor Cars and Prisoners Captured -DecisiOn to Accept Any Peace Has Divided Country.

Petrograd, Feb 20-Dispatches re- ceived here indicate continued German movements along all fronts towards Vitebsk, Minsk, Pskoff and Reval.
 German airmen are reported to have raided Regitsa on Monday. Many bombs were dropped and several per sons were killed. The raiders dis appeared toward Dvinsk.
 Just two hours. after the armistice ended German troops entered Dvinsk. It was 2 o'clock on the afternoon of Feb IS that German patrols unex- pectedly apepared around the city and seized the railway stations and other central points. Only small skir- mishes with fleeing soldiers took place. The Red Guards offered no resistance, while the artillery and in- fantry were demobilizing and wholly unprepared to fight.
 Attempts to evacuate the city were successful. Heavy artillery and large quantities of ammunition fell into the hands of the Germans. The civil population had no opportunity to es- cape. The commissaries of the local workmen's and soldiers council tried to escape disguised as soldiers, but were seized by the Germans.
 The decision of the soldiers and workmen's delegates to accept the German peace terms was reached by a majority of only one vote, after heated debate lasting throughout Monday night.

Formation and Color.

The iridescence of nacre, or mother of-pearl, is q matter of form and not actual color. In fact, all "changeable" colors are more or less the result of form even where there is augmentation beneath, such as in certain ribbed silks. When sunlight bears directly upon finely ribbed metal, as q file there Is the same play of colors.
 In the case of mother-of-pearl an in- teresting experiment has been made. An impression of the pearl was talk en upon pure white wax. It was then found that the apparently smooth sur face of the pearl had still sufficient Irregularities to impress upon the wax a surface that resulted in similar color nlfestations.-Edmin Tarrisse.

MAY CALL G 2CIAL
 SESSION OF LEGISLATURE

Lir.'e Rock, Feb. 22-There is possibility of the legislature being called in extraordinary session to consider amendments to the Bone Dry prohibition act.
 The governor is being overwhelmed with letters from all parts of the state, from members of the legisla- ture, ministers, and others, advising the calling of the general assembly to remedy the law that was punctured by the Supreme Court.
 The letters and resolutions are coming by the hundred daily. and more than a thousand have already been received.
 Before this matter came up, Gov. Brough had definitely determined that he would not call a session of the legislature, but this insistent demand. with not one letter of protest. has put a different phase upon the question. and now he has an open mind on the subject.
 His attitude is best described by the following answer to a letter ad- dressed him by the mayor of North Arkansas city:
 q am in receipt of your letter of recent date, and am always glad to hear from friends throughout the state on matters of this character. realize, of course, that this is one of the most important matters that has ever confronted the state. I have been lifelong prohibitionist, and am anxious to take all the steps ne- cessary to effectuate Bone Dry legis- lation. Os you doubtless noticed, the attorney general has filed a motion for a rehearing in the bone dry ease. and has written a very strong brief in support of the same. 1 will not make up my mind definitely as to what ac- tion I shall take with reference to the extra session until after this case has finally been disposed of in the Su- preme Court. I appreciate your writ ing me, however, and am placing your letter in a convenient file, and shall consider very carefully all that you have said whn the time arrives for me to decide finally what course shall pursue in the matter.
 It has been ygested by some that the members ot the o--'qture would be glad to serve the r~ lays neces- sary for holding the special session. for only their mileage, and would waive he per diem. Representative J. D. Doyke and Senator Harry Pom der of Lawrence county, have assured the governor they would serve with out pay.
