PUT
 '0. K. ON SUFFRAGE
BOTH HOUSES RATIFY AMEND MENT BY BIG MAJORITIES- WARD AND MCCULLOUGH OP- POSE RESOLUTION.

Little Rock, July 29.-The Ar kansas Legislature yesterday ratified the Susan B. Anthony amendment to the federal constitution which, if adopted by the legislatures of 36 states, will become the thirteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States. In the senate the vote was 20 to 2 for ratifica- tion, and in the house it was 76 to 19.
 Resolutions were introduced in both houses providing for an exten- sion of the special session for the consideration of local bills and remedial road legislation. The ques- ton was made a special order for 10 o'clock this morning in the sen ate, but no special time for voting upon the resolution was set by the house. It is generally believed that the necessary two-thirds majority will favor an extension.
 Arkansas became the twelfth state to ratify the amendment. This is the second southern state to ratify the federal suffrage amendment, Texas having ratified it on June 23. It is generally conceded that enough other states will ratify the amendment for it to receive the two-thirds majority necessary for it to become a part of the federal constitution.
 Mir. McCulloch of Lee opposed the the adoption of the resolution. He insisted that the rights are involved, and that Arkansas should not impose upon other southern states that stand solidly in support of southern traditions that which will be the first step in the demoralization of the south. He insisted that the question should be referred to the people who will vote on the amendment to the state constitution in 1920. He ar gued that the federal amendment will provide for compulsory service, and will break down the barriers that protect womanhood.
 Senator Ward was one of the two members of the upper house who voted against the resolution. Rep resentative Elliott of Lee county was registered as absent and not voting.

NO EXTENSION
 0F LEGISLATURE
TWELVE MEN IN HOUSE BLOCK PLANS FOR ExTENSION-SUF- TRACE BILL IS SIGNED BY THE GOVERNOR.

Little Rock, July 3O.-After wrangling over parliamentary tao tics and juggling with roll calls for two days, the special session of the Arkansas legislature came to an end this afternoon, and as result more than 200 prominent citizens of the state who came to Little Rock to secure remedial road legislation left for their homes tonight in disap- pointment and disgust.
 The senate resolution to extend the session three days to correct defects in road bills passed during the regular session was defeated by 12 members of the house. These 12 men kept the resolution from re- ceiving the necessary two-thirds vote. The house adopted resolu- tion during the forenoon to adjourn at o'clock this afternoon, and there was nothing left for the sen ators to do but retire and go home.
 The ratification of the suffrage amendment to the federal constitu- tion and passage of the bill to ap- propriate $20,000 to pay per diem and mileage of members constitute the accomplishments of the special session.
 The senate spent today marking time on it's extension resolution in the house. The resolution received

New York, July 29.-Scores of in- stances of brutal treatment of American soldiers in prison camps of France, described in some cases as amounting to system of torture responsibility for which was placed by the witnesses on high army of ficers. were related today before the congressional subcommittee which is Investigating the disciplinary sys- tenn of the A.

SENDS
 SENATE TREATY
URGES RATIFICATION OF THE AGREEMENT PROMISING MIL ITARY AID TO FRANCE-TO BE CONSIDERED SOON.

Washington, July 29.-The special treaty with France, promising inn mediate American aid to that re- public in repelling any unprovoked attack by Germany. was sent to the senate today by President Wilson.
 Tn his message urging ratification the president declared the promise temporary supplement- to the treaty with Germany and the League of Nations covenant, designed to give France protection in an emer- gency without waiting for the ad- vice of the league of nations. He said that a similar promise had been made by Great Britain and that by the obligation the United States but partially discharged debt to France which nothing can pay" in full.
 The senate received the message in open session and referred the treaty without discussion to the For eign Relations Committee.
 It is likely that the treaty will bo taken up by the committee within few days and considered jo1nelk with the Versailles treaty.

POLL TAXES ARE ABOLISHED
 BUT WORSE FOLLOWS

Texarkana, July 29.-At last nights meeting of the city council on the Texas side of town. an order was made abolishing the city poll tax and establishing in it's place a street tax. The present city poll tax is one dollar a year, and the new street tax is fixed at the same figure. The new ordnance provides, however, that the street tax may be raised as high as five dollars a year and all voters and male residents who have been in the city ten days or longer will be made subject to the tax. However, in order thar they may have ''their rights" women are exempted from the tax. The age limit of the men who must pay is fixed at from 21 to 50.
 It is said that all other cities in Texas have abolished the poll tax requirement and substituted the subject before the council last night developed the fact that there are now more automobile owners than there are poll tax payers in Texar- kama, Tex.
 At last nights meeting the coun. cil also ordered the purchase of g block on Cedar street between Fourth and Fifth streets, for wagon yard purposes. As soon as the wag on yard is established, visiting farm
 CTS and others will be required te keep their teams there, and the pres ent practice of permitting teams te stand in the streets and alleys of tho

CHICAGO RACE
 RIOTS CONTINUE
DEATH LIST REACHES 5; A,o0r TROOPS FAIL TO OyERAwE PoPULAcE-TROUBLE IS GEN. TERED IN BLACK BELT.

Chicago, July 29.-The race war spread tonight to widely scattered sections of the city. The police re- ported trouble at several points on the North side. Hundreds of police. men were rushed to halt reported confiice between several thousands of whites and blacks on the South west side. Crowds of whites pene- trated the down town district on avowed hunts for negroes. City, county and state officials united today in an attempt to s0othe Chicago's social torment of race riot ling, complicated by a complete street ear strike. Despite their joint ef- forts trouble hared internationally thrfoughout the morning and the death list grew until it reached 25. Even that figure was approximate, as unconfirmed reports of additional killings were still seeping into pc- lice stations.
 One of the most serious riots of the day occurred in the Cook coun- ty jail when 100 negro prisoners exercising outside their cells, over- powered a negro guard and raced l into the exercise room of the white prisoners, where there were be- tween 500 and TOO men. When the negroes burst in there was an instant clash.
 The regular guards were unable to control the fighters and so lock- ed the doors and appealed for aid. The prisoners fought for an hour before they were beaten into sub mission with clubs. Several of the negro prisoners, it was reported, carried knives, and a number of white prisoners are said to have been seriously wounded. The fighting today centered main ly in the heart of the black belt, along Thirty-fifth street and to cope with the situation the police massed reserves of men, rifles, patrol wag- ons, ambulances and machine guns and motorcycles in the vicinity Some 4,00O state troops were under arms in the city and as many more were under orders to be ready for emergency.
 There were two dangerous flare ups, however, as far south as 51st and State streets and three vicious 1 fights took place in the down town district of Wabash avenue in broad daylight.
 There was serious fighting and shooting in the loop early in the afternoon. The exclusive north side residential district received q touch of disorder.
 Killings continued after daybreak bringing the number of dead, in DO. lice reports. up to 22 by mid-after- noon and hundreds were injured. The police had under investigation three other reported killings. The list of 22 included IA white and eight negroes.
 The street car strike seemed to aid the spread of race rioting which surged up from the south side into the loop on the heels of thousands walking to work who ordinarily ride. Streets ordinarily almost de- serted early in the day were busy with pedestrians, mostly men and boys whose numbers afforded rich opportunities for racial quarrels.
