ALEXANDER URGES THAT STATE HELP
 TO ELECT L0WDEN
While Republican, He Would Have State Support
 Him

Arkansas should help elect Gov. Lowden of Illinois as the next pres ident," declared s. c. Alexander, president of the Merchants and Plan tcrs bank, in an address before the Ad club yesterday at the Hotel Pines. Because Governor Lowden owns 10000 acres of land in Jefferson and Lincoln counties, and because he is brainy man, this organization should get behind the Lowden boom and should use it's influence toward having Arkansas cast it's electoral vote for a republican president" he said.
 MT. Alexander said that Governor Lowden travelled in California, Cuba and all over the United States when searching for land to buy, and that he finally bought in Jefferson and Lincoln counties "because he said it is the best farming land in the world.'
 MT. Alexander suggested that it would be good subject for the Ad club to debate whether or not Ark ansas should help elect Governor Lowden. He added, however, that he, himself, is not a republican, but that 1T the AQ cluD WaHCS Co get behind something to advertise Pine Bluff and adjacent territory, it could probably profit by getting be- hind the Lowden boom.
 Fred Vining led the discussion on | how the Ad club may make it's meet 1 ings more interesting and helpful Besides these, talks were made by B c. Fowles, R. M. Kemp and T. w. 1 Quillian, who gave ideas on how the l club may advertise the city. | The next meeting will be held al the Jefferson Hotel, when the com- munity chest proposition will be gone into.
 President Jack Bernhardt appoint ed W. N. Trulock, c. A. Illing and R M Kemp as a committee to prepare program for next Thursday. B c. Fowles, P. w. Quillian, G. M Wells and Jack Bernhardt are g committee to raise fund to assist the Associated Advertising clubs ir an educational campaign conducted by the vigilance committee.
 Guests present were R. w. Giles. i pie of Lincoln, Neb., w. F. Hoppe o1 Lincoln, Neb.; R. c. Mitchell of the Pine Bluff Heading company; Ton I Williams of Memphis; and J. G .l Creighton of Chicago.

Socialists Make Threats to Walk
 Out at Hearing

Albany, N. r., Jan. 22.-There were tense moments today at the trial of the five suspended socialist assem. blymen charged with tisloyalty whcr it seemed that defendants ard coun- sel would "walk out on" the as3em bly, judiciary committees.
 The first came when committed counsel proposed to call on witnesses to produce books, documents and pa pers to mark them for Identification and to leave them with the committed for examination, with the idea that they later might be identified in evi- dence.
 Morris Hillquit, chief defense coun. sel objected. Louis M. Martin, com mittee chairman, denied the objec. tion. Assemblymen Evans and Bloch committee members dissented from the ruling. Then MT. Hillquit, turn ing to the witness on the stand, Mrs Anna Stern, executive secretary o1 the socialist Bronx local, said:
 "You are not bound to part with possession of your book unless it of. fered in evidence"
 To the committee he said:
 "This committee has not power to compel a person to part with his documents, merely because a certain document is enumerated by the othe, side, without test of it's admssi bility.
 "Thc statement of prosecution counsel is so often made that tho committee is law unto itself. Tha the assemblmen under charges art here, by courtesy or favor. Witt that statement as proposition o. force, I am not finding any fault. Blu want to have it understood that wt do not wish to appear here on sui france or courtesy or by favor. w, are either here with all the rights ot counsel in any court or justice ol we do not propose to be here"
 The threatened "walk out" wa. averted, when Judge Arthur E. Suth erland, speaking for the committee'' counsel, yielded to the suggestion O MT. Hillquit. that the documents b. marked for Identification, but be re turned to their homes.
 The day on which the first evi dence was presented, ended abruptly

 This report from the accom- modating telephone operator at the Dumas exchange last night at II o'clock epigrammatically describes the re-assurlng sltua- ton there at that hour better than a column of words.

Governor Cox made progress today on
his speech of acceptance for August

able to carry out his plan for lock

But between several visitors. he put
in good licks on the drafting job.
The address, the governor said. Will

THINK SOVIET FORCE 4 !.
WANTS RECOGNITION

WASHINGTON, July 27.-(A. P.)-
Russia's proposal for conference with
the. allies in London was regarded
nnofficially yesterday by skilful
maneuver to effect quasi recognition
of the soviet regime. Officially the
state department was without knowl-
edge of the soviet suggestion, but 1T
was clear that unless more urgent rea-
son than now is apparent is given, the
United States will be in no haste TO ac-
cept an Invitation to join in such con-
ference, even though one were extend
ed.
1t was said that the u. s. will be
asked to participate but the prevailing
opinion appeared to be that the spe-
cific issue-cessation of war with Po-
land might better be considered first
by the principals. The United states,
it was explained, has a peculiar inter-
est in the situation aside from that OF
desiring sterilization of political con-
ditions in Europe, but the method sug-
gested by Russia was regarded gen.
orally as a contribance OF the soivet
authorities to use the Polish situation
to advance the International statue OF
their regime.
The new move was pointeu 10 as the
latest of a long series of attempts al
negotiations. including the Prinkipo
conference which never was held, and
the London conference regarding re-
sumption of trade with Russia when
is vet to be held. The United states
has refused to enter into relations with
the soviet, but always has been ue-
finitely interested and watchfui OF
every move made either by Russia or
another government looking to an ad-
justment of the formers international
relations.
President Wilson. it was said today.
has kept informed regarding develop
ments. 1t has been indicated that un-
less the president otherwise directed
the attitude of the United States would
be that of an interested observer and
that for the present no expression OF
moral support or more active ana
would be extended to the Poles
