ACQUIT ONE NEGRO
 IN RIOT TRIALS
ctate Secures Ten More Convic- tions at Helena-Dismissal of Several is Proof of Courts Leniency.

uolena. Nov. 6.-Prosecution of nacro insurrectionists who partici- nated in the uprising in the southern nart of Phillips county was near it's end today, after the state had scored 10 more convictions.
 Seven of the negroes pleaded guilty to night-riding and were sentenced to mo wear each in the penitentiary Three-C Charley Harris, Young Rich ardson and Tiflie Dixon-demanded a iury trial and were given three years by the jury. The maximum punish ment is five years. Fifty-eight now have been convicted.
 The first acquittal of the term oc-
 mrred when the court instructed the
 iury to return a verdict of mot gull tyo in the case of Cornelius Morgan, who was charged with night-riding The court held that the state had failed to prove the negro was guilty 
 of any offense.
 Twelve cases will be nolle pressed,
 District Attorney John E. Miller an- nounced. The defendants in cases to be thus disposed of will be liberated tomorrow. Their dismissal without prosecution is another proof of the leniency which the state is extending to those who were not leaders in the msurrection. The district attorney is acting on the theory that the negroes were misled and misinformed and should suffer only such a sentence as wil impress them that the law of the state must be respected.
 The last arraignment of the day was that of Dave Reed, who was shot l in the foot when he charged machine gun All other members of the squad with Reed were killed by fire of the piece. Reed hobbled into the court room on crutches and barely was able to stand to hear his sentence.

AROUND THE WORLD WITH THE AMERICAN GaRED CROSS. 46
 GNJ In Roumania. 'NNN

Soon after the entrance of the United States in the war the successes of the Central Powers in Roumania had reduced that country to a most tragic condition and in the summer of 1917, the American Red Cross des patched its first Roumanian relief contingent. Two hospitals were at once taken over and operated by the Red Cross, a canteen for the starving refugees established and food and clothing distributed over a large area.
 Transportation was one of the toughest problems with which the Red Cross workers in Roumania had to deal, Here is seen an oxcart used by the Red Cross to carry its rellef supplies up into the mountains.

SENATE SQUABBLE
 OVER TREATY VOTE
Underwood Calls Lodges Bluff For Immediate VOte-Repub- licans Prevent Vote on Pact Without Reservations.

Washington, Nov. Whether to ratify the treaty with Germany with out reservations or amendments seemed for a while this afternoon about to be decided by the Senate.
 Thrown into the thick of a dra- matic parliamentary battle request for an immediate showdown on un- qualified acceptance of the treaty got the backing of the leaders on both sides, who seemed anxious to outdo each other in pressing for roll call. But because the stage of action was reached the move was blocked by Re- publican senators who objected that it might cut off any later attempt to put reservations into the ratification.
 Then the Senate got back to it's regular order of business and, having voted down the last of the long list of proposed amendments, began work on the reservations presented by the foreign relations committee, said to have the backing of a majority of the senators. When recess was taken until tomorrow the first of the 15 com mittee proposals had nto yet come to vote.
 The reservations got before the Senate only after a point of order against them had been overruled by U;oo Dros;Jon+ Mor.hon x,,bo JooJorad no technicalities of the Senate rules would be permitted to stand in the way of the right of the Senate ma jority to frame its ratification of the treaty as it chose.
 The ruling whcih followed an hour of bitter argument, was accepted as containing a significant declaration of policy with respect to the parlia- mentary tangle developing around the treaty.
 Leaders were as much at sea as ever tonight over the date when a final vote on the treaty might be reached, but they declared every ef- fort would be made to hasten the reservation debate. Democratic sen- ators, at an evening conference, threshed over the whole situation and sought some method of bringing the long fight quickly to a conclusion. Meanwhile White House officials revealed that plans were on foot for an early conference between Presi- dent Wilson and Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, the Democratic leader, re- garding the Senate situation. It was said at the capitol tonight, however, that no such appointment yet had been made or requested by Mr. Hitch cock, who thought several days might elapse before the reservation fight became. acute.

NOT A POUND OF COAL
 BEING MINED IN ARKANSAS

Little Rock, Nov. 7.-The coal situ- ation is becoming serious in Arkansas and throughout the country. The striking miners and the operators seem to be playing waiting game to see what the federal government will do. Not a pound of coal is being mined in Arkansas, and the supply is running very short everywhere.
 The electric light plants of Eureka Springs and Fayetteville notified the Arkansas Corporation Commission yesterday that they would have to shut down because there was no coal available. The commission took it up with the Frisco railroad, and late in the afternoon it was reported that coal was being delivered and that there would be no shut down.
 Have you failed to answer to the roll call? 257 in Nevada county have kept the faith by paying their dollar and getting a Red Cross membership button for 1920. 257 people in Ne vada county out of a possible 10000 remember the unselfsh work of the Red Cross mothers of mercy during the late war; 257 believe that there is work for this humane organiza- tion to do in civilian life This is not all, more and many more have heart and a dollar in Nevada county. The campaign closes November 12.
