Corporation Body Denies Re-Hearing
 in Stuttgart Case

Little Rock, Jan. 23.-The Arkansas corporation commission yesterday denied the application for re-hear- ing in the application of Moody and Lewis fo ra certificate of conven- Lewis for certificate of conven- tion of transmission line and a generating plant inside the city of Stuttgart. The application for re- hearing of the petition for plant and transmission lines outside the city, however, was granted, and will be taken up on February 9.
 These are the petitions that have brought about the controversy re- garding the corporation commission. The commission says in it's opinion:
 "The commission considers that the allegations contained in the peti- ton are, in the main, irrelevant, inn material, illogical and are wholly foreign to the question to be deter mined here. The allegation of the complaint and the sense of the affi- davit appear to be based upon the theory that if the generating plant is located just outside the city linn. its of Stuttgart instead of within the city, the development of the entire rice producing area will be prevented and that cheaper power, by reason of water projects to be developed later, will forever be denied this section"

CHAMBER OPPOSES
 MOVEMENT TO KILL.
 CORPORATION BODY
Would Amend Act if it is Found to be Inef-
 fective

The trustees of the Chamber Of Commerce at their meeting yester- day passed resolutions opposed to the repeal of the act of the Arkan- sas legislature creating the Arkan- sas corporation commission. The resolutions provide that if the act is defective or unsatisfactory, it be amended.
 The resolution was as follows:
 Whereas, We have noticed con- siderab ble agitation for the repeal of the act of the legislature of the state of Arkansas, creating the state corporation commission,
 And whereas, the corporation commission was so created by the legislature in 1919, after it had been discussed in all the sessions of the state legislature for several terms previous to that time and after such commissions had been adopted and found satisfactory by nearly all the states of the union,
 "And whereas many of the public utilities operating in this. state dis tribute their services over such wide territories that it is impractical for their services and rates to be regu- lated by local municipal governments
 Be it Resolved, That it is the ex- pressed sentiment of the trustees of Pine Bluff Chamber of Commerce that the act creating the commission should not be repealed, but if found unsatisfactory or defective, should be amended"

American Oil
 Companies Seek
 Mexican Permits

Mexico City, Thursday, Jan. 22.- Forty-five American petroleum com panies have telegraphed President Carranza that they will petition for permits to sink wells under condi- tions laid down by the president. These provide that provisional per mits issued, will be good only until congress enacts basic oil legislation.
 Representatives of petroleum in- terests will make application for permits to construct pipe lines to the principal Mexican ports and also to Mexico City, it was learned to- day. The expense of this work will approximate $50,O00,0OO, it is said. Lack of pipe lines and inef- ficient tankers is responsible for the seeming decrease in Mexican oil production as companies have been unable to transport the full produc- tion of their wells, according to Joaquin Santaella,, head of the pe- troleum bureau.
 He asserted Mexican oil products had been increased since 1918 when 73,0OO,OOO barrels were pro duced. Prohibition in 1919 approxi- mated 80,O0O,0O0 barrels, and he said it would amount to 120,00O barrels in 1920.

FIGHT OVER NEGRO
 NATIONAL IN ASPECT
Governor Allen Flooded With Tele. grams From Societies Which Would Prevent His Return
 to Arkansas

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 23- Robert Hill, negro, wanted in Arkansas in con- nection with the race riots near Elaine, Phillips county, last fall will be arrested on a federal warrant on charge of fraudulently impersonat- ing q federal officer, if Governor AL len refuses to honor the reausition from the governor of Arkansas. now on the way here, it was stated to- night by Fred Robertson, United States district attorney at Kansas City, Kansas.
 Hill who is the alleged president of the Progressive Farmers and Household Union, the negro organ ization which is said to have been re- sponsble for the Phillips county race disturbance, is in jail here fol- lowing his arrest by local officers last Friday.
 Robertson stated that no war rant had been issued at Kansas City. but that an indictment against Hill, returned by federal grand jury ar Little Rock, is expected to reach here tomorrow morning. Upon it's aNival, he said, an officer would be sent to Topeka with warrant for Hills arrest. If the warrant is served MT. Robertson stated, Hill will be taken to Arkansas for hearing.
 The fight to prevent Hills extra dition today grew to national pro- portions. Telegrams were received at the governors office from socie- ties of colored people in many parts of the United States protesting against the return of the prisoner to Arkansas.
 Habeas corpus proceedings, begun yesterday, were continued today un- til tomorrow morning, on motion of Hills attorney. During the day Deputy Sheriff Pratt of Phillips county, Arkansas, took the stand and explained his authority by sub hitting three warrants to the court Pratt did not present extradtion papers to the governor todav

Recommend Rate
 for Interest Charge

Chicago, Jan. 23.-Recommenda- tions to banks and trust companies in all federal reserve districts that no rates in excess of 2 IA per cent be paid on net and available daily balances were made in resolutions adopted today at meeting here of representatives of the 12 federal reserve districts.
 The action was taken in order to conform to the approval expressed by the federal reserve board, through Governor Harding of the action of the New York clearing house in ad- opting IA per cent as it's maximum rate.
 The conference, presided over by James B. Forgan, of the First Ma tional Bank of Chicago, followed q meeting in Washington January 6, of bankers representing clearing house associations, called by the federal reserve board, at which final action on the question of interest rates on bank balances was postpon- ed until the Chicago meeting.
 In making the recommendations today the conference declared:
 "It is the opinion of this confer ence that the federal reserve board should be free to establish it's rates of discount without reference to any clearing house regulations as to payment of interest,"

Washington, Jan. 23.-Recommen- dation that proposed relief for Flu rope from the United States be furnished through the medium of loans to the countries of South and Central America, the proceeds of which would be used to pay the debts of these countries of Europe in the form of foodstuffs and other neces> saries was considered tonight by many delegates to the second Pan American financial congress as the outstanding conclusion of the con- gress which closed it's sessions to- day.
 The European relief recommends tion presented to the congress by Dr. Jose Luis Tojadas was embod- jed in a series of Is resolutions set ting forth the conclusions reached at the weeks meeting. Dr. Tojadas and other delegates pointed out that as Europe acted as the financier of Latin America before the war many of the southern republics were in- debted to many European nations needing relief and were in a posi- ton to pay these debts with the needed commodities. The United States it was asserted, would confer double benefit by allowing the Lat in-American countries to act as the middle men" in proposed relief feasures. The existing exchange rates would work to the advantage off all concerned, Dr. Tojadas said and at least one billion dollars would be made immediately available to Europe through the plan.
 The congress at its closing session heard addresses by w. P. G. Harding, governor of the United States federal reserve board and by Dr. Enrique Martinos Sobral of the Mexican dele gation bidding the delegates fare well, Secretary of the Treasury Glass declared:
 "The congress, feel sure, has accentuated the sentiment and com-

ROAD MAINTENANCE:
 IS ID BE DROUGHT
 STATE
Nunn Tells Chamber Meeting Auto Tax Should be
 Used
ANOTHER PLAN WOULD
 TAX ENTIRE COUNTY
Improvement of All Real Property
 for Highway Upkeep Suggested to the Trus- tees

Road building and maintenance ir Jefferson county and future roat legislation which probably will be brought before the Arkansas legis. lature at the next general sessior in 1921 occupied greater part o1 the discussion at the Chamber oi Commerce trustees meeting at tho Hotel Pines, yesterday at noon.
 Two projects, advocated by cham. Der members, are likely to be brought before the 1921 session as a result of the meeting.
 These are:
 That the auto tax be increased
 to S20, that it be returned to the
 counties from which it comes
 for the maintenance of roads in
 those counties, to be adminis-
 tered by a board of three com
 missioners named by the auto
 and truck owners; that this
 commission be given exclusive
 control over hard surface roads,
 and that the railroad section
 plan, with .constabulary to en-
 force traffic provision be put
 into effect.
 That an improvement district
 be formed to include the entire
 county and that tax be levied
 upon all real property for
 maintenance fund for hard-sur-
 face roads and that board of
 five commissioners be named to
 control it.
 The first proposition was suggest. ed by A. w. Nunn, who in lengthy speech, stressed important points M. the road problem. Following his talk Creed Caldwell, senator, and r. A. Hill, representative, endorsed the plan.
 Mum warned that because of lack of maintenance, Arkansas roads more particularly those in this section were being allowed to go to ruin He outlined a plan of action, includ- ing the increased auto tax, the fr- fund of auto taxes to the counties which paid them, and the use of this money in road maintenance.
 Mr. Mum incidentally revealed that unless provision is made fol proper traffic regulation on tht Pine Bluff-Noble Lake road, proper tv owners there are planning te abandon it's proposed improvement The road, now in bad condition, is te be resurfaced with an asphaltic prv ing, he stated, but declared that tht property owners are unwilling to dc this as long as trucks and wagons are allowed to use the road without restriction. The cost of the pro. posed improvement would be abou $105,00O, he said.
 County Judge R. H. Williams also addressed the meeting following MT Nunn's talk. Senator Caldwell pro posed that efforts be made to ex tend the Hearndale pike to connect with new roads from Camden and z committee composed of w. N Trulock, Henry Marx and Senator Caldwell was named to confer witt Judge Williams on the free bridg, road
