WOMEN POLICE ARE
 SUCCESS IN ENGLAND

London, March 15.-The success of women police has been demonstrated in England, asserts the Inspector or ConstaIbulary. Seven counties and twenty-four cities and boroughs have women on the staff and "their intro duction into professional police work says the inspector, may well help police authorities to combat evils which have presented increasing diff ficulties to them for years
 The inspector pays a tribute to the fine work being done by the women nolice employed by the Ministry or Munitions and refers also to the sue cess of women patrols.
 "Clime is no doubt showing an up ward tendency after remarkable fall, as was the case during the South African war; the inspector reports who adds: "To this the shortage of the police force no doubt contributes and the restrictions of street lighting increases opportunity and temptation while reducing the possibilities o' nreycntion and detection. There are crimes, too, the prevalence Of Which is directly due to the circumstances ol the war, enforced separation of hus hand and wife. The temptations al forded by separation allowances arc increasing the crime of bigamy."

 Somme Says English General
Army Commander Writes American Colonel Thanking Him for Aid Given-Railway Engineers in Large
 Numbers Formed Part of Carey's Army.

With the American Army in France, April 18.-Reports from British com manders which have just been receiv- ed at American army headquarters, give the first definite information
 that American engineering troops in large numbers were among the forces hastily assembled from all branches of the service by Major General Carey for his improvised army which filled the gap in the line made by the Ger mans at the opening of their offensive last month. The American engineers were at work constructing and oper- ating field railways and building bridges. Three companies of an en- gineering regiment were caught in the early bombardment, and ordered to fall back. To one of the Ameri- can companies, which had been con solidated with the British Royal en- gineers, were delegated the task of guaranteeing the destruction of an engineering dump, which it had been decided to abandon. This detachment destroyed all the material, made a rapid retreat, caught up with the lar. ger group, and immediately resumed work laying out trenches as the Ger mans attack became more intense. The engineers were joined by cooks,

HOUSE DEFEATS SENATE ATTEMPT
 AT $2.5O WHEAT
Vote Down Rider to Agricul- tural Appropriation
 By 167 to 98.

Washington, April 18.-Proposed increases of the government guaran- tee price of wheat to $2.50 per bushel was defeated tonight in the house, which rejected by vote of 167 to 98 the senate amendment to the agricul- tural appropriation bill making the change. This action sends the quest ion back to conference, and the senate is expected to recede, so as not to hold up the appropriation bill.
 Under the food and control act the price of 1918 wheat was fixed at $2.OO bushel, but by proclamation last February President Wilson fixed a minimum guarantee of $2.2O bushel at the principal interior primary mar kets. Under the senate rider to the appripriaticn bill, the price was in- creased to $2.5O, and the farmers To- cal elevators made the basis of the market.
 The vote was preceded by four hours of general debate. Among the

HOarded Flour: Negro FarInOr
 I'm U. s Court
Charles Jones of Desha County First Offender
 Put Under Arrest.

Charles Jones, a eolored farmer of Desha county. residing near Dumas, was bound over to await the action of the federal grand jury under bond of $500 after an examination by United States commissioner A. l.. Burnett yes terday. on a charge of hoarding flour.
 This is the first case of the kind that has come before the courts in this section, and so far as known is the first in the state.
 Jones, who was arrested by United States Deputy Marshal H. w. Gray, is alleged to have refused to return and attempted to conceal four supplies in excess of the amount permitted to per sons resident of the rural districts.
 The Desha food administrator is said to have suspected that Jones was boarding flour, and to have interro- gated the colored man in Dumas. Jones denied, according to witnesses, that he had more flour than permitted under the regulations The officials then started for Jones' home, hoping to reach there before he returned, but he galloped his horse and arrived at his farm simultaneously with them
 
 He explained that he kept his four in the smoke house. where the officials found barrel from which a small quantity had been removed.
 Not satisfied. the officials investigat cd further and in barrel on the sec ond nodr of Jones' corn crib three sacks of flour, concealed under corn The colored man then recalled. accord ing to witnesses, that he had forgot ten to mention this little cache. which had been placed there, he said, to be safe from rats.
 The appearance of pile of corn ir one corner indicated that it had been moved recently, the officials delved into it, discovering about 15 sacks o1 i flour buried under the pile.
 Jones said he bought the flour last November from a Pine Bluff firm.
