YEAR PLAN TAKEN
Director Would Have Thor
ough Test or Return
Roads Now.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 9.-Govern'
ment control Of the railroads must be
extended al least three years or be
shelved immediately. This ultimatum
was issued today by Walker D. Hines
director general Of railroads.
He proposed the three year exten-
sion period as a compromise due to
bitter opposition in congress to the
recent five year recommendation OF
McAdoo.
In any event, Hines told the senate
interstate commerce committee, the
present 81 months limit on govern
ment operation is intolerable. He had
in mind the resolution Senator Cum
minis introduced to prevent the return
of railroads to private control before
that limit expires. Hines came out
frankly against government owner
ship but earnestly appealed for tho
adoption of five year test period.

native of this state but resident OF
California for 81 years, prove success
full.
Mr.. Malone was in Pine Bluff yes
terday in the interest of the project,
At this time he is seeking no finan-
cial aid, but is asking the cooperation
of river bottom farmers in an expert
ment to determine if the soil will
produce in sufficient quantity beets
with enough sugar content to justify
the formation of three million dol
lar company and the erection Of big
factory.
His plan is to furnish free to 100
farmers along the Arkansas river,
from Atkins to a few miles below
Pine Bluff, sufficient seed to plant
100 acres of sugar beets, each farmer
being asked to plant one acre. He
asks farmers to harvest five rows of
beets, and give him a beet from each
row. He will have government chem
lists analyZe the beets to determine
the sugar content. The tonnage he
will estimate from the five acres har-
vested. The remainder OF the beets
grown on the one acre in the expert
ment can be used for stock feed, the
sugar beet being recognized as one
best feeds produced. Sugar beets are
planted in the spring and harvested
in October and November. They can

ITALIANS FACE
CABINET CRISIS
IN F|UME CASE

Problem Before the
Premier.

Paris, Sept. 16.-Premier Fran
/ cesco Nitti, of Italy, faces a govern
ment crisis as result Of his de-
nunciation CT Captain Gabrielle "
Annunzio, yho last week entered
Fiume at the head of strong force
/, of irregular" troops who has since
that time been receiving reinforme-
ments, according to advices from
Rome.
The supreme council of the peace
conference, under the jurisdiction OF
| which Fiume stands has decider to
allow Italy to deal with the serious
situation that has arisen in that city,
deeming it a purely internal matter
According to reports from Flume,
American detachments which have
been in Fiume have gone on ship
board while British and French
troops have been confined to their
barracks probably to forestall a
clash with the D'Annunzio forces.
General Badoglio, deputy chief 'of
staff, of the Italian army has ar
rived at Fiume and has issued pro-
clamation to the D'Annuzio soldiers
to return to their respective units
but there is nothing to indicate his
advice will be followed.
Captain D'Annunzio, according to
Belgrade despatch has proclaimed
union of Fiume and Italy, the
message adding that anarchy reigns
in the city and that allied flags have
been torn down.
Tomasso Tittoni, Italian foreign
minister and hear of Italy's dele
cation at the peace conference will
leave for Rome today.
