CONTROL BIG FIVE
 VOTED IN SENATE
Packer Bill Passed-May Be Blocked in HOuse-Farmers and Live Stock Producers Ex- empt From the Measure.

Washington, Jan. 24.-The Gronna bill placing the packing industry un- der strict government control, was passed by the Senate late today. It now goes to the House, where, it is said, there is little prospect of it's passage, at least not at this session
 Although it became apparent when the Senate by agreement began bal loting on the amendments to the bill at o'clock that it wolud carry, the final vote of 46 to 33, an hour later, came as a distinct shock to it's oppo- nents.
 They had confidently predicted that whatever the result might be, it would be close. They were totally un- prepared for the show of high feel ing against the packers disclosed by the vote.
 The chief purpose of the Gronna bill is tn establishment of a federal live stock commission, with powers to prevent conspiracy among the pack CTS to control markets and prices, re- trict food supplies, crush competition or profteer.
 Perpetration of these practices were charged against the packers by the federal trade commission, whose report to Congress, after an eXhaus- tive investigation of their activities, resulted in the introduction of the Gronna bill.
 Opponents of the measure were not completely routed, however. They put through an amendment by Sena- tor Putnam, Democrat, of Nevada, exempting farmers and live stock pro- ducers from the provisions of the bill. Another amendment sponsored by Senator Smith, Democrat, of Ari- zona, permitting the packers to ap- peal the decisions of the live stock commission to the courts also car ried.
 Party lines were effaced in the final vote, with no attempt on either side to organize a movement for it's pas sage or defeat.

 court, in my opinion, makes out a prima facie case in favor of the states claim, 1 am unable to see how such a decree could have been rendered in the face of the fact of an outstanding deed from the state to Marsh.
 'In view of the fact that these may be oil lands, and in order that there may be no chance of loss to the state, or in justice to adverse claim ants, l am of the opinion that it would be wise to withhold this and all other lands thought to contain oil, and other valuable minerals until the titles can be thoroughly inspect ed. If the law is not such as to war rant you in withholding from sale at normal figure after the title has been approved, 1 am sure that the legislature, when it reconvenes on Wednesday, will be glad to take such steps as are necessary to enable you to protect the states interests

GUARD
 MEETING TONIGHT
Captain CarrOl Cone of Pine Bluff Co. Will Be Principal Speaker at Meeting at Court House Tonight at 7:3O.

Prescott will have one more chance to secure a unit of the Arkansas Ma tional Guard, and will have less than three weeks to form the organization. Captain J. Carrol Cone of the Pine Bluff company, an officer who is in- strumental in organizing companies all over the state, will speak tonight at the court house at 7:30 in an effort to interest our people in organizing unit here.
 The company would receive a total of S15,000 per year from the federal government, and the company would cost our people nothing as far as maintenance is concerned, but would be big advertisement for our city and county, as well as affording pro- tection to our people.
 Up to about o'clock this afternoon Capt. Cone, assisted by local people, had secured over 25 enlistments, half of the number required, and Captain Cone stated that by night the required number probably would be signed and measurement for uniforms would go forth tomorrow morning. This would be an enviable record and we trust it can be made, and the company se- cured by time for the meeting to- night.
 Among the probable speakers this evening will be Dr. John c. Williams, Mayor R. P. Hanby, Fred Fuller. Rev, Theo F. Hall and J. E. Barham.
 Twenty-one towns in the state all ready have organized companies, and Capt. Cone states that only fifteen will be accepted, therefore it be- hooves us to perfect the organization without delay, that our company can be ready for inspection.

drill hit the oil cap rock. The oil showing appeared when the drill had gone only IS inches into the cap rock and it is not believed that the sand beneath it has been touched. Drilling was immediately stopped and the hole was washed out, IT pits of water being pumped through it. With the pit we'll covered with oil, it was de- cided that they were taking a great chance with only water in the hole and it was mudded in, and the walls plastered.
 In the meantime, President W. T. Knight and Secretary c. c. Baker of the Ark Tex. company have been summoned from El Colorado and will arrive tonight. After the arcival of the officials it is planned to resume drilling and to rat-hole for some ais tance to determine the thickness of the stand or oil-bearing rock. It is expected that the well will be drilled in in very short time.

Hope Men Rush to Lafayette County When Report Reaches There That Oil Had Been Brought in.

Hope, Jan. 24.---A slush pit well coated with oil was the sight that greeted a half hundred excited visi- tors who hurried from Hope to Me Kamie, 20 miles to the south, in La fayette county, this afternoon, when a report was circulated to the effect that the Ark Tex. test had come in at that place. The report reached here 15 minutes before the train left for the south and there was a scram- ble to get aboard. Rumor had said that the well was producing 300 bar rels, but it was evident upon arrival that this had been exaggerated How ever, there was a sufficient showing of oil to add considerably to the en- thusiasm of those who had made due allowances for congregations.
 J. N. Smallwood, in charge of oper- ations, was the first official encoun- tered and he immediately took the crowd in charge. A few minutes later Vice President M. L. Caldwell joined the party and the visitors were shown everything that was to be shown. The well was drilling at a depth of a little more than 2,700 feet when the

STATE MAY GET
 INTO OIL GAME
Governor McRae Requests Com missioner to Suspend Sale of State Lands Until Rights Are Safeguarded by New Laws.

Special to The News.
 Little Rock, Jan. 25.-The state of Arkansas may yet get into the oil game on it's own account.
 Governor McRae yesterday sent request to Herbert R. Wilson, com missioner of state lands, to suspend the sale of all state lands until the legislature can enact necessary laws to safeguard the interests of the state in oil and mineral rights. MT. Wilson replied that he agreed with Governor McRae and that no more lands would be sold until laws had been passed which would insure the state receiv- ing full value for lands upon which might be developed valuable oil pro- perties. At present there is no law providing for the appraisement of such lands and the governor will probably send a special measure to the legislature pointing out the ne- cessity of carefully Investigating the situation, so that no more sales may be made at merely nominal price.
 The question came up with refer ence to the title to certain lands with in a short distance of the Busey- Daniels gusher near Fl Dorado After reviewing all available evidence with reference to the deed to this particular tract of land, which was originally granted to the state of Arkansas September 1, 1841, Attor- ney Gen. J. s. Utley reaches the fol lowing conclusion:
