FARM AID MEASURE
PASSES OVER VETO
WAR FINANCE CORPORATION
WILL BE REVIVED. RESOLU-
.TION BECOMES LAW FOL-
LOWING REPASSAGE BY
BOTH SENATE AND HOUSE
OVER VETO OF PRESIDENT

Washington, Jan. 4.-The resolu'
ton reviving the war finance cor
poration became a law today with
it's readoption by the house over
President Wilson's veto. The sen,
ate overrode the veto yesterday.
The vote in the house was 25O to
6, with three voting present, or 81
more than the required two-thirds
majority.
The vote was taken without de-
bate, after Representatives Mondell
the republican leader, had stated
that since all members realized that
the president had raised no new
questino it seemed wise to proceed
without discussion.
officials of the war finance cor
poration said today the corporation
would be revived Immediately, but
that necessarily some time must
elapse before the actual making OF
new loans would begin. Some of
them thought that time might be
two months. Funds for making the
loans must be raised by bond is
sue, it was stated, and other pre-
liminary matters must be cleaned
I'D. While the corporation has a
book balance with the treasury of
about S375,OOO,OOO, officials said
the use of this money for loan pur-
poses would necessitate the issuance
of treasury certificates for indebt-
edness and that an issue of corpora
tion bonds probably would be de-
cided upon instead.
Reorganization Of the corporation
also will be necessary as there is on
ly a skeleton force which has been
winding up the affairs of the cor
poration and collecting outstanding
loans. Possible appointment of two
directors to fill existing vacancies
on the board of directors was ex-
pected. The present directors are
Secretary Houston, Angus w.
Lean and George R. Cooksey.
Seventeen democrats and forty
nine republicans voted to sustain
the veto. Voting to override it were
135 democrats and one prohibi-
zionist.

THE COTTON MARKET

The cotton market lost about 50
points yesterday Of the 100 point
gain of Monday. Today the market
opened strong, and after fluctuating
some advanced about 80 points clos
ing at the highest figures of the day.
The dispatches state that there is a
better feeling in the market, but that
there is little demand for spot cotton
and this is helping to retard the ad-
vance, Several mills which have been
closed down have commenced opera
tions again, and the statement is
made that the bottom has been reach
ed in the way of concessions on the
price of cotton goods.
The information that President
Wilson had approved the War Fin
ance measure of congress proved to
be incorrect. However, the Senate
and House have each passed the
measure over the presidents veto,
and II has become law. Just how far
this will function with the president
and Secretary. of the Treasury
against it is yet to be seen.
Spot cotton advanced Is points in
New Orleans today. Little cotton
was offered on the local market. The
prices for good cotton ranged from
Is to 16 cents.

NO MILITARY MOVE
PLANNED FOR CUBA
VISIT OF ARMY OFFICER WILL
NOT LEAD TO INTERVIEW.
y TON, SAYS ACTING SECRE-
TARY OF. STATE DAVIS IN
ANSWER TO OFFICIAL IN
CURRY FROM MINISTER

Washington, Jan. 4.-Assurances
that the United States is not con-
templating military intervention in
Cuba were given today to the Cuban
minister by Acting Secretary Davis
it was said at the state department.
The minister, DR.. Carlos Manuel
Cespedes, was said to have entered
no protest from his government
against the sending of Maj. Gen. E.
H. Crowder to Cuba to confer with
President Menocal relative to the
situation in the island republic. The
minister after his call, however, ex-
pressed somes light objection to the
action of the American government
declaring that neither his attitude
nor that of his government as set
forth in a recent statement by him
had been altered. In that statement
the minister asserted there were no
grounds for the supervision of cleo
tions.
Secretary Davis discussed with
President Wilson the Cuban situa-
tion and the mission of General
Crowder just before the minister
called at the department. The Sec
retary told DR.. Cespedes there was
little he could add to the presi-
dents statement relative to the
work General Crowder is expected
to accomplish in Cuba, adding that
he had confidence in the ability of
the Cuban authorities and General
Crowder to work out a satisfactory
solution of the present political diff
culties.
Minister Cespedes made it clear
that his purpose in calling on Sec
retary Davis was to obtain more in
formation regarding the sending of
an American to Cuba on a mission
of the nature of that of General
Crowder but it is understood that
in his discussion of the matter with
Mr.. Davis he did not attempt to con-
ceal his apprehension that the ac-
tion would be construed as step
preliminary to intervention. He was
assured that neither intervention
nor the supervision of election was
contemplated but it was made plain
to him that the United States con-
sidered the economic political and
financial situations had reached the
point in Cuba Jwhere the United
States regarded the whole situation
as one warranting the friendly offer
of assistance.
President Menocal's term of Office
expires May. 20. There appears now
a probability that unless special
steps are taken the official selection
OF. his successor will not be deter
mined by that time and it was as
serted in that event a situation
would be created that would prove
exceedingly embarrassing for both
governments. The congestion of
freight on the docks at Habana, the
extension of the moratorium and
the demand for money with which
to finance the sugar crop have re-
suited, it was explained here today,
in making the Cuban situation of
unusual interest for American busi-
ness concerns.
Secretary Davis IS understood to
have. pointed out to the minister
after citing to him the difficulties
that have developed that back of it
all is the political tangle, which the
United States government hopes
General Crowder will be able to un-
tangle.

POLL TAX ISSUE
 STILL VEXAT|OUS

Little Rock. April S-Judging from the regularity with which questions are asked of the eligibility of voters and the payment of poll tax, it would appear that this is one of the ,ncst abstruse and complicated problem we have to deal with. As a matter of fact it is very simple and easy un- derstood. Count back fro mthe cleo tion to the Saturday next preceding the first Monday of the last July and use the poll tax receipt you then held and no other. If you have become 21 years of age since last Assessing time, satisfy your election judges of chat fact as a substitute for poll tax re- ceipt. The Susan B. Anthony amend ment to the United States constitu- tion so modifies our state constitu. tlon as to give women the same right to vote as men. An act of the 1921 legislature gives women the same right to hold office as men, except in such instances, if any, as it may be in con- fllct with the express provisions of the state constitution.

FIVE IN TRANSIT
 10 STATE PRISON
GLOYER'S TERM SHORTER
Judge Clark Appoints Jury Commis- sioners for July Term-One
 Year for Owens.

Five prisoners, convicted during the adjourned term of circuit court were this morning taken by Deputy Sheriff J. I. Summers to Little Rock to begin their sentences. The pris. oners are:
 Oliver Owens, one year for re- ceiving stolen property.
 Elmer Glover, three years fol burglary.
 Dock Glover, three years for burg lary and grand larceny.
 Check" Winston, negro, one year for the manufacture of whiskey.
 Will Hayney, negro, one year for grand larceny.
 Before adjourning court yesterday afternoon, Judge George w. Clark pronounced sentence upon the prls- oners. The two convictions of Dock Glover, carrying three years for burg lary and one year for grand larceny, were ordered to run concurrently so that the prisoner will serve three years instead of four.
 The last case heard by the court was state vs. Oliver Owens for re- ceiving stolen property. Conviction and punishment of one year in pris- on was the verdict of the trial jury. Owens was accused of receiving prop erty stolen from the store of George Josephs at Mt. Vernon.
 Commissioners appointed by the court to select the grand and petit juries for the July court term are J. H. Bailey, W. M. Harrell and J. R, Donnell. Their selections were filed with the clerk of the court and will be given publication 30 days before the date set for converting the term.
 On motion of the plaintiff for a new trial, Judge Clark set aside the judgment returned by the court at it's January term in the case of R. K. Flowers vs. w. M. Hill, and granted motion for a new trial. The judg- ment set aside was in favor of Hill for S119.50. The case was continued and set for hearing at the July court term.
 Prisoners taken to Little Rock this morning by MT. Summers will first be held at "the walls" for measure ment and quitting before being transferred to the farm at Tucker.
 Summarized, results of the adjourn ed term were convicted and prsor terms in five cases, and fine of $2OC

|LL|TERACY SHOWS
 MARKED DECLINE

Little Rock, April S.-Reports re- ceived by State Supt. J. L. Bond from the censes department at Washington give a most gratifying analysis of the illiteracy returns from Arkansas. According to these figures there are in the state, according to the 1920 census 121 ,S37 illiterates; that is, per- sons above the age of 10 who can neither read nor write; of these 79,245 are colored.
 There are in this number 40,753 native whites, 65S of foreign or mixed parentage and 1,145 of foreign birth.
 The percentage of illiterates in the entire population is 9.4 as compared with 126 in 1910, showing reduction of 25 per cent. The percentage of negro illiteracy declined from 26.4 to 21.8 and that of the white illiterates from Fl to 4.6.
 The rural population shows a per centage of more than twice that of the urban, being 10.3 as compared with 4.9. The native rural population shows percentage of only 5.2 Hitter ate while the foreign born rural pop ullation is only IT illiterate and the negro urban population 13.9.
 When asked for an explanation of this gratifying decrease, Superinten- dent Bond said that he ascribed 1t to the enforcement of compulsory att tendance law of 1917, to the effective work of the illiteracy commission ln the holding of adult school in val ious sections of the state and to general improvement in the. educa- tional institutions and system that has occurred during the last decade. Mr. Bond predicts that the next 10 years will show even larger percentage of decrease than the last 10.
