Sorghum Company
 Grinds 800 Tons of
 Cane Each "A Hours

Grinding 500 tons of sorghum cane every "A hours, the Fort Scott Sor- grum Syrup company's plant, just west of Pine Bluff, is we'll under way on the seasons run.
 The plant was started up the first time several days ago by A. M. Clark, manager of the companv's plant at Fort Scott, Kansas. sent here because of the illness of Jack Richards, in charge of the Pine Bluff factory. Ev- erything is working as smoothly as was to be expected in new factory, the only disappointing thing being the small tonnage of sorghum produc- ed in this vicinity.
 "We haven't as much cane as we thought we would have," said MT. Clark last night, "nor as much as we would like to have. The plant has a capacity of 600 tons per day, but we are not grinding to capacity at the start. We are grinding 800 tons now"
 Mir. Clark said the saccharine con- tent of the cane is good and that it is producing 16 to IF gallons of svrun per ton. Sixty people are employed at the plant. which will be in opera tion for about 40 days this season.

 California Leader

Powell, Fresno, California, publisher, at a meeting today called by the Woman's League for the peace treaty, said he believed the peace treaty would bring about the quick return to China of the German priv ileges in Shantung acquired by Ja- pan, whereas without the treaty, China would be left unprotected. Frequent applause interrupted MT. Rowell's analysis of the arguments advanced in the senate against the treaty.
 eff the league of nations does not go through, it will be none of our business what Japan does to China said MT. Powell.
 After and before the meeting sig natures of protest to Senator Hiram w. Johnson of California against his attitude on the league covenant were taken by half score of women.

Formal Relations Between the
 State of Arkansas and Hupeh,
 China, Are Established by Letters

dare say you are the pillar of your mother land and, facing the east ol the Pacific, cannot but appreciate you with all my heart.
 Moreover, I feel assured that since the commencement of the open door policy of China, the relations and intercourse between your country ana ours are always cordial and friendly; and now they are even more advanced to the greatest extent in view of the principle of justice adopted in the European peace conference by the president and the people of your coun- try: and surely you are one of them ooering much valuable help in this adoption.
 My friend, Dr. Wassall, has taken over the charge of the American hos pital here for some years, and has effectively rendered a good many charitable services for which he IS very we'll known and popular among the local community. His return home avails me of an opportunity of writ. ing you this letter for the purpose ot expressing my great appreciation o1 vour warm interest in China's at- fairs.
 "Hoping you will read this letter while at leisure and wishing you health and success.
 My name is on separate card.
 "Yours very respectfully.

 The walk late yesterday afternoon near Pueblo was taken at the order of Dr. Grayson, and so pleased was the physician at the result that he told the president afterwards that it would have to be a daily feature for the remainder of the trip. During the evening MT. Wilson was quite tired, however, and when brief stop was made at LaJunta, Colo, about S:30, he did not go out to greet the crowd gathered there until just as the train was starting again.
 The presidents desire to make his program as easy as possible has been particularly apparent during the past week.
 At San Diego, California, Cheyenne, Wyoming and Pueblo he cut short his stops in order to have more rest on the train, and in number of other cities he asked that the public pro- gram be curtailed so he might avoid crowds and parades.
 Many Send Sympathy.
 The Pueblo speech was the fortieth to be made by the president since he left Washington, and most of them have been upwards of an hour in length. Many have been delivered in halls so large that it was necessary for him to use all his energies to make himself heard, and so warm that he always has been given a rub down and a change of clothing after ward to prevent his taking cold. The text of his addresses on the trip tota! about 175,000 words.
 Besides his work for the treaty, he has disposed of considerable executive business aboard his private car; sign ing bills and resolutions and carry ing on an extensive correspondence He has force of stenographers with him, but he also carries his own type writer and sometimes has been uE l until II o'clock at night pounding out letters and notes he wanted tc attend to in person..
 Many messages of sympathy were received aboard the presidential train during the afternoon and evening, and MT. Wilson also sent in person his regrets at not being able to visit the cities left on his speaking schedule In his telegram to Gov. J. B. A. Rob: ertson of Oklahoma, he expressed particular disappointment that he was not able to say word at Oklahoma City as he had planned in support o1 local Salvation Army campaign.
 Despite the quick shift in the trains schedule, news of the change spread rapidly and small crowds hae gathered at almost every station along the way. But they were not the wildly cheering crowds witt which the members of the presidentia party had become familiar. For the most part, they were sober and re spectful air and stood quiet while the train passed by.

Deadlock UnbrOken.


 Pittsburgh, Sept. 26-The close of the fifth day of the steel workers strike found each side in the great industrial struggle apparently wait ing for the other to make the next move. There were no notable changes and from information gleaned from the headquarters of the strikers na- tional committee and from the of fices of the larger steel companies in the Pittsburgh district, no mate fore Monday.
 Representatives of several large corporations, including the Carnegie Steel Co.,, let it be known that they look for a big influx of men when the whistles blow Monday morning. It was contended by them that the strikers would then have had a week of idleness and finding that large number of men are still at work and their own funds getting low, thou sands would change their minds and seek their old jobs. .,.
 Assurances by police authorities and company officials, it was also pointed out, would have an influence on strikers who are favorable to returning to work. 1 These views were combatted by Secretary William z. Foster, who said drive would be made Monday on all plants that are still in operation. He said that "the bulk" of the steel workers in the Pittsburgh district had walked out of the mills and denied that the men were deserting the un- ion and returning to work.
 MT. Foster also announced that the strike will be enforced against the Jones and Laughlin Co.,, plants on the South Side and in Soho, on Monday: There are about 12,000 men employed in these mills. During the week a number of employees walked out crip- bling many departments of that com pany, he said.
 A meeting of the strikers national committee has been arranged for to- morrow morning to take further and probably final action with relation to the proposed strike against the Beth lehem Steel Co.,, the largest steel in. terest next to the United States Steel Corporation. The strike has been fixed for next Monday morning, and the question of making it effective will come before the committee to- morrow.
