senate did not take kindly to this system, the opponents of the measure arguing that it would not prevent ep- idemics. Senator Johnson's main ar gument against the untimely death of his offering was that the present sys- tenn is despotic. The bill failed to pass by vtoe of 23 to 5.
 General measures are going to be general measures in the senate or not at all. The Evans bill raising the fees for county surveyors to $7.50 was passed Thursday afternoon, the efforts of Senators to exempt their counties being unavailing. A notice was given that reconsideration of the vote by which the bill passed would be asked for because the sena- tors were not shown this courtesy.

 This is one of hundreds of prohibi- ton rallies now being held in Amer ica. With National prohibition in sight in the United States the next step is World prohibition. The re- construction period upon which the world is entering, an absolutely es- sential achievement is the emancipa- tion of the whole world from the curse of strong drink.
 The International Prohibition Con- ference held at Columbus, Ohio, No vember 19 to 22, inclusive, at which there were delegates from various European and Asiatic countries as well as the Prohibition leaders of the United States, has laid plans for strong, aggressive, world-round Pro- hibition conquest. This stupendous undertaking is challenge to every red -blooded American who works and prays for prohibition. All nations stretch out appealing hands to America, and she will eagerly respond to the call. MT. Wolley says, "All Hail to Dry America! All together for Dry World''

GERMANY PLACED
 UNDER SUSPICION
When Obnoxious Gases Fill Coaches Which They Recently Turned
 Over to France.

Paris, Feb. 6.--Two railway coaches recently handed over to France by Germany played most important part in puzzling accident on the Paris-Metz railway line last night in which five persons lost their lives. Sixteen persons were injured.
 Train No. AT, bound for Metz, had just entered the tunnel at Nanteuil| when the passengers occupying the two coaches handed over by Germany began to experience trouble in breath ing and strong obnoxious gas began to fill up the coaches.
 The passengers smashed the win- dows, but as soon as fresh air came in contact with the gases the coaches became a mass of flames. The pas- sengers, in terror, fled to the tracks in the dark tunnel A train going in the opposite direction crasled into them and five were killed.
 Of the 16 injured, all of which were treated at the hospital at Chateau- Thierry, eight suffered only from the effects of asphyxiating gas. An of- ficial statement given out by the railroad says:
 "The fire in the coaches was not due to any defect in the lighting ok heating apparatus, nor to hot box. The presence of the obnoxious gases| is still unexplained. Both coaches were consumed by the flames"

president of the United States, and had be been elected he would haye filled the office with credit to the country.
 As finished orator he has no su- perior and in the judgment of many, no equal on the American platform.
 He has doubtless done more to arouse the nation and the church to fight alcohol than has any other cit izen. His brain and heart and pen and voice have largely created the sentiment that will soon give the United States National Prohibition.
 For dozen years he has been the most prominent figure in the great Anti-Saloon League movement.

Little Rock, Feb. T. Representa- live SuIlinger of Mississippi county lost his fight in the House yesterday against the appointment by the gov ernor of the Digester for the re-di- gesting of the statutes of Arkansas. The bill as passed in the senate, pro vided for the appointment by the governor, but the house as matter of compromise, amended to make the appointment by the governor and the supreme court.
 MT. Sullinger in leading the fight against it asserted that his opposition was not personal, although he ad- ynitted that he "despised the very ground the governor walks on.' He objected to the governor having any, thing whatever to do with the selec- ton of the Digester.
 The bill passed by vote of 79 to 8, which was taken to mean com plete victory for the governor.
 The old fight on the insurance com uanies was resumed in the House yesterday. Just ten minutes before adjournment, the Beard bill to abolish the Actuarial Bureau, was called up on third reading, and the announce ment of the nature of the bill was greeted with much applause. MT. Beard made speech for it, and MT. Bohlinger spoke against it and Tn favor of the Bohlinger bill, now pend ing in the house, and the Utley bill, which is copy of it, passed unanl- mousIy by the senate and now Tn the House, which places the supervision of the Rating Bureau under the con- trol of the State Insurance Commits sioner. The Bohliner bill had been taken up for third reading earlier III the day, but upon the suggestion or the speaker, it was placed back on second reading for consideration of fhe committee of the whole, since 1t carries an appropriation.
 
 The senate was in mood to pre- serve by destroying, on Thursday at- ternoon and worked late again to do it. The first measure to receive the official axe was the King bill to ex- tend to High Schools the state uni formity of text books. There was quite bit of parliamentary argu- ment before the bill was finally tabled by a vote of 15 to 10.
 The next in order was the Johnson bill which would change the system under which the State Board or Health is operated so that in times of health the communities could ignore vaccination orders if they chose. In time of epidemic the communities could petition for assistance. The
