FAVORED BY wOLCOTT.
But He Was UnayoidabIy Absent and
Could Not Vote on Railroad Bill.

Special Dispatch TO Every Evening.
Washington, Feb. 24.-Senator VOL
colt was necessarily absent when the vote
WAS taken on the conference report on
the Railway bill, yesterday Although
opposed to some of the features of the
original CuInmins bill the Senator is
understood to have been satisfied with
the compromise measure reported by the
conference and would have voted for it
had he been in Washington when the vote
WAS taken.
The Senator was thought to be IN line
with those who vote against the conference
report, but this, on investigation, proves
to be erroneous.
The bull is not entirely satisfactory to
many of the Senators who voted for It,
but they say it was the best that could be
obtained and thought it wise to accept

 SaS

Memphis, Tenn, April 10.-An in- kcrease of more than $1,O0O,OO0 in Ecrop production was made by state 5of the lower Mississippi Valley in the kten years from 1910, according to es- Climates by the Southern Alluvial Hand Associa ton, of Memphis. The fdevelopment is attributed to the re Eclamation and cultivation of thou Esands of acres of low lands, and to 1.-the fact that farmers are getting Educing general crops and live stock Fin addition to cotton.
 The greatest growth in farm twealth is shown by Arkansas, which lis credited with gain of more thar f7OO per cent in 10 years. In 1910 tht [crop wealth of Arkansas was S59 |119,OOO, according to government e Climates. Last year it IS estimated Ito have reached at least $400,000,00C Crop production in Mississippi last #year is estimated at $40o,00 100000 whereas it was but $84,0O0,000 te1 &years ago.
 l The Tennessee gain was from $70 {OO0. 900 in 1910 to S335, 100000 in 1912 or more than 800 per cent in te, years.
 i Higher prices for farm crops las year than in previous years are cor. sidered in estimating the gain, ac cording to the Memphis Association

 As showing big strides in general Farming and lice stock raising, it is pointed out that none of the states bf the lofed valley formerly shipped
 more than 10000 head of hogs a Eear to outside markets, whereas the bne state of Mississippi last year Shipped nearly $5,000,000 worth of hogs to market.
 To inroads of the cotton boil wee kil a few years ago is attributed the rapid change from the one-crop sys

 war traverse the streets all day md most of the night. The cafe life s as bright and gay as ever, but 5he restaurants and theatres close at 10 p. m. to save food, light and la- bor. The refugees from the war ytricken areas began streaming into the city about a year ago, and have been coming ever since, hoping to find food and places to sleep. The problem of providing for them has baftlcd the city officials.
 In the poorer districts, base ments, which for generations were used for storage purposes, have been used for refugees sleeping quarters In instances 15 to 20 persons, and even more, sleep on basement floor, on straw. Others have found shell ter in stables or in buildings intend ed for schools. Many of these refugees are women, with children who have come out of the east vir- tually without funds. During the day these people are partly supplied with food by the municipality or some of the welfare organizations Many exist only by begging.
