The bill had passed the senate, but it encountered opposition in the house and was voted down by "A ayes to 53 noes.

WIRES MAY 6E
 RETURNED DEC. 31
Under Resolution ordered Favorably Reported Today By the P0st-
 office Committee.

Washington, Jan. 28.-Government control of telephone and telegraph properties would end next December 31, ordered favorably reported today by the house postoffice committee by a vote of 10 to 8. Chairman Moon will present the measure to the house tomorrow.
 The resolution made no mention of cable properties and that phase of the situation was not discussed at the committee meeting. Members la ter expressed varying opinions as to the effect of the legislation on feder- al control of those properties which was assumed by presidential proclaim ation last November under the au- thority given in the original wire control resolution passed by congress last July 16.
 Chairman Moon said the new legis- lation would not affect the original law insofar as it applied to cable properties, control of which would have to be relinquished with the is- suing of proclamation by the pres ident announcing the singing of the treaty and it's ratification. Other members thought control of the ca- bles would be automatically extend ed. Others believe the question will have to be settled in the courts.

URGEs ARMORY
 FUR NEWPORT
And Permanent One At That For Returning Soldiers of Co. E, 154th
 Third Arkansas Infantry.

The Independent has received a let ter from Adjutant General Lloyd En- gland of Arkansas, which he asks to be made public through the columns of our daily and weekly. The letter has been sent to all mayors and Chambers of Commerce of all cities having National Guard organizations. The question of providing armories is of such vital importance to our re- turning heroes in improving their physical, moral and mental condition and in addition will result in such financial benefit to our locality, that truly every red-blooded, patriotic and progressive citizen of Newport should give the movement hearty co-opera- tion.
 The letter follows:
 As most of our National Guard organizations are due to return from overseas in the near future, desire to bring to your attention, the advis- ability of providing a permanent ar mory for Company E, 154th Third Arkansas Infantry in your city.
 This is not only due to the men who who offered to make the supreme sacrifice for their country by those of us who remained at home from a patriotic standpoint, but is also a business proposition.
 Under the National Defense Act officers of the National Guard re- ceive from $500 to s250 per annum and men one-fourth of the pay of the regular army soldier. In addition both officers and men receive full pay of their respective grades during encampments each year. This means an income to your city of from $1O,- OO0.00 to $15,00O.00 per annum, ac- cording to strength of the organiza- tion for each unit. Armories could be built on time and the rent of from S25.OO to $50.0O per month, for each organization allowed by the state could be applied on the cost of same.
 Armories should be built so as to afford ample facilities for clean and wholesome recreation of our young men. Every armory should be pro yided if possible, with gymnasium and apparatus, shower baths, library dining hall and kitchen, storeroom and drill hall, the latter to be so con- structed as to be available as a lec- ture hall with a stage and ample seating capacity. Armories should be built with the idea in view of pro- .viding clean and wholesome place of amusement for your men where facilities are available for improv- ing them mentally, morally and phy- sically.
 The state provides caretaker Tor every armory, in order not only that they are properly taken care of but that they may be available to men at all times and keep them off the streets an dother questionable re- sorts.
 Ia should also be borne in mind that we have within our state seven ty thousand veterans of the world war. who will organize societies and will hold county and state reunions annd meetings. The armories would he an excellent meeting place, not on- Iy for veterans of the European war

 The house defeated senate bill which sought to give guardians and curators the authority to lend the money of wards on personal security. It was shown by several members in speeches against it that it would take away the safeguards which now pro- vide that loans shall be made only on approved real estate security. There were only two votes for the passage of the bill.
 The senate is not in session today, the members being so far ahead of the house that the day is being de- voted to visiting state institutions To- cated in this city. Every senate and house bill had been advanced as far as possible when the senate adjourned Tuesday afternoon until Thursday.
