APPELLATE COURT
 PROBLEM SOLVED

Oklahoma City, Okla, Jan. 24s-The bill providing a solution of the appel late court problem, and which ssaid to have the approval of the members of the supreme court itself was pass ed finally by the Oklahoma House of Representatives late today. A simil- ar measure, already has passed the Senate.
 The house bill creates two divisions of the court, without increasing the personnel, and provides for the ap- pointment of law clerks and a referee who are given duties and powers which are designed to relieve members of the court from much of the routine and detail work which now consumes a great portion of the time of the jus tices.
 The House also passed finally the bill for the establishment of the Okla homa Military academy at Claremore in the buildings formerly occupied as a preparatory school. It carries an appropriation of S170,000 for main tenance, equipment and the construct ion of additional housing facilities.

WAR TRADE BOARD STATES NO COTTON
 SENT TO ENEMIES

Washington, Jan. 24.-After read ing the Presidents message, officials of the war trade board said it evident ly had been garbled in transmission. They declared that no cotton had been shipped to the enemy countries and that none would be until the question of the economic blockade of the cen tral powers had been settled at the peace conference.
 Pointing out that the President $ message referred to the fact that the question of this blockade now is being considered by the Associated nations, these officials said the statement that cotton was being exported to all coun- tries might have referred to the al- lied countries and neutrals. All re- strictions as to cotton movement to those countries were removed some time ago.
 Control over the destination of all ships leaving American ports still is retained by the war trade board, it was said, through the system of lic- ensing fuel coal. The board has re- ceived no instructions to permit any ships to proceed for ports in enemy countries, it. was declared. Even ships carrying food relief to Southern Flu. , rope were required to proceed to Gib- raltar and their further movement was by agreement among the asso' ciated powers.

VENERtAl CLINIC
 ASSURED fOR CITY !: WILL OPEN SOON
Have Three Rooms In Knox
 Scull Building.

Coincident with other Improvements in Pine Bluff, comes the announce ment that the veneral clinic proposed for this city is now an assured institu- tion. The clinic will be established in the Knox Scull building just east of post office.
 It is proposed to have two rooms for consultation and treatments, and ward, with a nurse in attendance for the women patients. Patients who must be kept for several days will be taken to the county hospital. The clinic will be in charge of Dr. Rowell, city health officer, and Dr. McMullen, county health officer. It ,ras stated by Lieut.. Mcdonald of the United States Public Health Service that this clinic would not interfere with the private practice of local physicians.
 Must Report Cases. Under the laws of the state, every physician who has veneral case however, will report that case by number to the clinic. If the person is receiving treatment, the clinic makes no effort to treat this person. It is the people who first, will not be treated and secondly, those who are unable to pay physician whom the clinic will be concerned with. Lieut.. Mcdonald stated that the government had no objection to curing venerials. but that curing them would not be the pri- mary object of the clinic. "The gov. ernment is concerned, first, in pre- venting further spread of the dis ease," he said, land the object of the clinic will be to stop the contagron by treating those who have it.
 Cost of The Clinic.
 ! According to estimates rendered tC the city council several nights ago by Lieut.. Mcdonald, the cost of the clinic would be rather high. But those es inmates, as Lieut.. Mcdonald then stat ed. were based on the laws of sratt where treatment was compulsody. Int cost of the clinic here will be the cos1 of room rent, plus the cost of attend ants. The medicine will be furnished by the government. It is said tha probably at the end of six month. time, the government will take ovel the entire expense of the clinic. Lieut. Mcdonald stated to the. city counci that the government would give aid t. the clinic in proportion to the result' the clinic showed.
 At the present, the county and cit. will share the expense, which probabl, will not be great. All medical equip ment will be furnished by the govern ment. It is thought likely that sev eral doctors of the city will be asso ciated with the clinic, as there ar some physicians here who are special ists in the Wasserman work.

Allied officers in Omsk con tinue their good offices in the inter- est of settlement.
 Support kO)chak.
 M. Savanoff and Vladimir Bourt- Zeff, now in Paris, have telegraphed offers of their support to Admiral 1 Kolchak. The adherence of Savln- koff is regarded as adding independ ent strength to the Omsk government. Admiral Kolchak has telegraphed to Savinkoff, declaring:
 "I consider your acceptance a sign of distinct movement which is unit ing all forces to save Russia in this critical hOurs.'
 It probably would be premature and over-optimistic to declare that the Omsk government has inaugurated a settled regime and that insurrectiOns and civil conflicts in non-BolshevilS Russia are at an end.
 There is a unanimous feeling among many Russians that a powerful per- sonality like Admiral Kolchak is nec- essary to cary the government over the present crisis. If he succeeds in holding and strengthening hsi posi- tion in the next six months, these Ob- servers believe he will have formed teh nucleus of an orderly and perma- nant regime. The observers do not believe that 1 Kolchak is conspiring 10 restore the monarchy, as some of 'iis opponents charge. They lok upon the Kolchak government as the only group offer. ing hope of solution

Washington, Jan. Hi-Re gulation of live stock prices so as to assure a stable market either through contin- uing the food administration or by establishing some similar system of control was discussed today before congressional committees by pres!- dents of two meat packing firms which do an annual business of about two billion dollars.
 Louis F.

Ogden Armour of Armour and company, told the sen- ate agriculture committee that some means of assuring a. price level fo, some time would be agreeable to the packers.

 Violent fluctuations of prices wer. predicted by MT. Swift if food ad E1inistration control should be remov l ed. Like MT.
