IGNATiUS LINCOLN VISITS
 WITH THE Ex-KAISER German Agent Arrives at Amerongen on a Mysterious Mission With
 the Ex-kaiser.

Amerongen, Sept. 21-Ignatius Trf- plch Lincoln, former member of the British Parliament and German agent. who five weeks ago was released from prison in England, arrived at Ameron- gen yesterday. Lincoln was accom- panied by a German who registered at hotel as Herr Anderson about whose identity there is much secrecy. but who is believed to occupy prom inent post among the monarchists of Germany
 Lincoln told the Associated Press correspondent that he could say noth- ing about the object of his visit.
 On their arrival at Amerongen from Berlin, Lincoln and Anderson were met by General Bommers, the former kaiser's chief aide, and today there was a conference at Bentick castle. during which it is reported Lincoln saw the former German ruler
 Since his departure from England and his arrival in Berlin, Lincoln has identified himself with the German faction favoring the return of the Hohenzollerns.
 The general impression around Am erongen is that something important politically is brewing in Germany and that Lincoln is here to inform and as- sist the former emperor.
 While refusing to talk about his visit to William Hohenzollern, Lincoln said that the bitter feeling against Great Britain would not end for long time.
 Personally, I told the British au- thorities that in my writings I would devote my lifes work against Eng land" said Lincoln T am already beginning"
 Regarding the United States, Lin- coin said the feeling in Germany was different and that he knew positively that efforts looking toward good re- lationship are underway.

TRUCK CROP FORECAST
Heavy Demands for Southern Truck
 Crops Next Spring is Predicted.

Washington, Sept. 2O.-Demand for southern truck crops in the spring of 1920 even more promising than that of 1919. is the forecast in state ment of the department of agriculture issued today One of the important elements in producing this favorable situation for southern truckers is the fact that the potato crop bids fair to be 32. .266 900 bushels short of the 1918 crop
 Growers of bermuda type onions have a brighter outlook than has eX- isted during the last two seasons. The estimated autumn harvest of onions is more than 2,OOO,OO0 bushels short of that last year and more than l. OOO,OOO bushels short of that two years ago.
 The cabbage crop in the nine north ern states in which late summer cab bage is extensively grown bids fair to be the smallest harvested since 1916 almost 100000 tons lass than in 1918 and nearly 100000 tons less than in 1917.

FREED OF MURDER CHARGE

Idabel, Sept. 20.-The verdict of the jury in the Wes Henry murder case, which has been on trial in the District Court since last Monday, was brought in Thursday morning after about 12 hours deliberation The verdict read "We the jury find the defendant as charged in the indictment not guilty. ,"
 This case has created more interest perhaps. than any case tried at this term of court Henry was vigorously prosecuted. and equally as vigorously defended. The particulars of this case have been published several times in this paper and it only necessary to say, Henry was charged with killing the two enforcement officers, Will Mil Ter and Will Mays last May. Thus ends long case and we believe the general public is satisfied with the verdict.

HUNDREDS OF STEEL
 WORKERS ARE OUT
Is Admitted That the WalkOut is Felt Seriously in Places, But Satisfac.
 tiOn is Expressed.

The preliminary skirmish in the great industrial struggle which open ed Monday between the labor unions and the United States Steel Corpora tion, which directly or indirectly af- fects half a million wage earners, pro. duced the usual conflicting claims r the generals on both sides.
 In the gerat strategic centers of the struggle, the Chicago and Pittsburg districts, many thousands of workers obeyed the strike order, but early re- ports stated that comparatively few plants had been compelled to close
 At a large number of outlying points officials of smaller plants reported they were operating as usual
 Ebert H. Gary, chairman of the board of directors of the steel corpor- ation, refused to make any comment on the situation.
 Secretary Foster, of the steel work CTS union, issued a statement eX- pressing satisfaction with the outlook and claiming that reports from out side the Pitttsburg district showed that the shut down was general
 An important feature of the situa- tion was the announcement by repre- sentatives of 900 workers employed by the Bethlehem Steel Company that these men would not join the strike pending at attempt to obtain con- ference with the company officials.
 Some of the blast furnaces in the Pittsburg district were banked, but the majority of the plants were in op- eration. although admittedly with forces erduced from 15 to 66 per cent. In the Chicago district incluling Gary and Hammond, where 90,000 stee workers are employed similar condi- tions were exported
 At Cleveland the union leaders claimed that 15,O0O men were out and that 16 mills of the American Steel and Wire Company. employing 5000 men, were closed down,
 At Ohio's second greatest steel cen- ter, Youngstown, the strike leaders claimed that the great majority of the workers had struck, and at Steuben- vile, where three plants of the Car negie Steel Company are located, it was asserted that all three had been forced to suspend operation.
 At the less important points in Ohio and Pennsylvania, including Ports mouth, Warren, Canton, Toledo Col umbus, Lorraine Pottsvill, Reading and Harrisburg, officials of the various plants announced that their men had remained loyal, and that operations were in full swing One notable ex- ception was Johnstown, Pa., where 12000 men were reported to have struck.

bELcIANS AND THE
 DUTCH QUARRELING
Both Countries Have Ordered With. drawal of Their Ambas.
 sadOrS.

London, Sept. 21.-An official wire less dispatch from Berlin, dated Sat urday, says that the Belgian ambassa- dor at the Hague having been with dra VII, the Dutch ambassador at Brus- sels also has been withdrawn.
 Several times recently there have been reports that diplomatic relations between Belgium and Holland were strained, as a result of the demands of Belgium for revision of the treaty of 1899, between Belgium and Holland under which Holland annexed the southern bank of the Scheldt river and an elongated strip of Dutch Limburg
 Belgium based her demands upon the necessity of securing stronger military frontier and freeing the trade of Antwerp, her great port from the restrictions now placed on it by Dutch possessions of the lower portion of the Scheldt, and asked for political con- trol of the southern bank of the river and certain guarantees deemed neces- sary to safeguard Belgium's economic interests in South Limburg
 In return for these concessions, the Belgians suggested that Holland re- ceive compensation in the form of cer- tain bits of German territory inhab- ited by a Dutch-speaking population.
 The allies were believed to be fav- orably inclined toward the project of the free navigation of the Scheldt but Holland is understood to have been ir- revacably opposed to any renunciation of sovereignty in this connection.
 session of the peace conference, at last account, was considering the situation.

RICHMOND PEOPLE
 WILL BUILD ROAD
Hold Meeting Friday Night and Decide to Build Road Connecting With
 District No. 2.

A meeting of Richmond and Ash down citizens was held at Richmond Friday night to take steps toward connecting up that town with the high way system of the county. It was de- cided to organize district at once and to get it before the present session of the legislature for the purpose of building a highway to connect with No. z, the big east and west road which will run north of that place.
 c. A. Edwards of Mineral Springs was in Ashdown Saturday.
 Frank Norwood of Lockesburg was in Ashdown Sunday, the guest of his sister, Mrs Roscoe Wood.
 MT. and Mrs. Pat Duffey of Hope were in Ashdown Sunday, the guests of the latter's mother, Mrs. Belle Nor wood, and sister, Miss Gladys Nor wood Mrs. Norwood has been quite ill for several days
 The Ashdown to Richmond road was one of the early districts formed, but for one reason or another the mat ter was never pushed. Other districts were formed biting deeply into the the territory of the old Richmond route until the opportunity seemed lost to build a main line from Ashdown to Richmond and that town was in dan ger of becoming isolated from the great system of roads to be built which would have been unfortunate since this is one of the finest and most densely populated sections in the county. The solution is believed to be happy one as the length of the road to be built is not great With the completion of the new highway the old Richmond road will cease to be the main line of travel.

STORM DEATH LIST GROWS
Estimated Also that Property Damage
 Will Exceed 20 Million.

Corpus Christi, Sept 21.-Fuller re- ports received today from the devas- tated storm area of which Corpus Christi is the center, only served to swell the death roll of last Sundays hurricane and confirm earlier estima- tes that the total porperty damage will exceed s2O,OOO,OOO
 It is daily becoming more apparent that the destruction wrought by the storm will surpass all previous es- inmates, both as to life and property as news Altering in from the surroun- ding country with the partial resump- tion of wire communication continue to emphasize the appalling magnitude of the catastrophe.
 Little progress was made during the day in the recovery of bodies known to be floating on the bay despite the fact that there was no let-up in the work over Sunday. The finding of only two additional victims were re- ported today, these being taken from the wreckage along the North beach section of Corpus Christi. Neither of these were identified.
 Plans for dragging Neucus bay for bodies known to be held fin the large amount of wreckage still floating in the backwaters are being descussed, |, though physical difficulties of the task may prevent it's fruition.

LEGISLATURE OPENED
 SECOND SPECIAL SESSION
Second Extraordinary Session Conven- ed at Little Rock Monday; Many
 Question to Come Up.
Special to the News.

Special to the News
 Little Rock, Sept 22-The second extraordinary session of the legisla- ture convened at 12 o'clock noon today, to consider roads, levee, drainage, school and profteering legislation
 There are various predictions about the length of the session, and it is generally believed that it will run the full fifteen days.
 The governor has been urging the members to complete the work in six days at most and some, notably Speak CT Newton, believe that it can be done in this time.
 Others think it will take much lon- ger, and one of the lawmakers declar- ed that enough latitude had been given in the call to provide work for thirty days.
 The committees of the regular ses- organization will continue. The ses- sion should be organized within half an hour after converting, and be ready to receive the message from the gov ernor. The introduction of bills will begin today, and it has been estimated that there will be from 100 to 150 in troduced. It is known that one repre- sentative has six bills already drawn and ready for introduction.
 Speaker Newton has suggested, and the suggestion has met with the ap- proval of President McFerrin of the Senate, that a special committee of probably nine from the house and six from the senate, be appointed to whom shall be referred all bills having to do with the question of profiteering.
 It is known that there will be strong interests on both sides of the question, and that there will be hard fighting waged on the various bills proposed as a solution of the high cost of all com modities.
 All agree that profitering should be punished, but the question will arise as to the definition of profitering, and the best method of preventing and penalizing it.
 A variety of methods are being sug- gested, all of them having supporters and as it is a subject charged with popular interest, every orator on the floor of the house and sepate will want to be heard on some phaVe of it.
 Then, too, the road legislation will not all be the smoothest sailing, partl- cularly where, as in many cases, an effort will be made to increase the tax to enable the commissioners to pro- ceed with their work. Delegations are expected from various counties tc protest against any increase in taxa tion.
