THREE BILLS TO ABOLISH
 CORPORATION COMMISSION
Special to The News.

Special to The News.
 Little Rock, Feb. 4.-Three bills to abolish the Corporation Commission are now before the senate. The pub lie service corporation committee has returned the Emory Walls admins tration measure with a favorable re- commendation. The Stewart bill was sent back without recommendation and Thursday afternoon Senator John ston asked that his bill be withdrawn from the committee. There was no opposition to this and it is now like the others, subject to final action. Senator Johnston's bill is directly in accordance with the recommendation of Governor McRae in his inaugural speech. The governor asked that the commission be abolished outright in order that it's members not have such inducement to lobby against substi- ute provisions.

ARE EXTENDING
 EDUCATION WORK
Professors of the University of Arkansas Travelled Much the Past Year in Interest of Edu- cation in Arkansas.
Special to The News.

Speclal to The News.
 Little Rock Feb. 4.-In their work of extending education in Arkansas, the professors of the University of Arkansas travelled about 70,0O0 miles last year. Much of the work was that of inspecting the high schools of the state. This was carried on by Miss Stella Palmer, head of the de- partment of home economics and Dr. H. G. Hotz, professor of education, who together travelled 25,000 miles.
 Dr. A. M Harding, director of the general extension division, travelled 26,000 miels in Arkansas alone, giv- ing lectures and planning extension work for various communities of the state. This figure does not include the territory he covered in his sum mer lecture tours which carried him from the Atlantic Coast to the Pan handle.
 Dr. J. R. Jewell, dean of the Col lege Education, travelled 15,000 miles He lectured on school betterment plans and allied subjects in educa- tion He not only went into every county of the state, but to other states as well.

SENATE NOW HAS
 CLEAN SLATE
AbOlitiOnists Are on the Sick List-Quite d Few General Bills Were Expected to Be Introduced This Morning.

Special to The News.
 Little Rock, Feb. 4-Every bill on the calendar in the Senate was as far advanced Thursday afternoon as any member desired to have it go al that time. After being in session twenty minutes, a motion to adjourn till Monday afternoon was made. It was shown that no senator had any business for transaction even though President Cazort had let the bars down so that any senator could intro duce dozen bills if he had them, but chairmen of several committees announced that if given an oppor- tunity they would return quite a few general bills on Friday morning. The motion to adjourn until Monday was then withdrawn, but as the House has passed but few bills to be read in the Senate Friday morning, the session today cannot be of extended length. Last Friday the senate in- dulged in an all day session on the abolishment of the Penitentiary Com mission. It is not probable that any further abolition measures will be taken up this week as Senators Shockley and Emory, administration supporters, are on the sick list. As the vote on such measures is sure to be close, neither side can be expected to risk a roll call without a full re- presentation present.

Paris. Feb. 3.-The conference of ..,norts which was to have been held n Brussels has been postponed, it ,vos officially announced today. This ,otion was taken because Charles porcmann. general under-secretary of state for treasury, and chief of tba German mission to the reparation Commission in Paris, informed the French foreign office that the Ger man government would not send dele |cates to the conference in view of hhe changed circumstances.

Paris. Feb. 3.-Premier Briand went before the Chamber of Deputies and Senate today to explain some of the details of the separations decision reached by the allies at the meeting of the supreme council here. He was warmly received by the deputies and told them the government was entire ly satisfied with the decisions.
 In his review of the decision he de- clared the results of the conference showed the allies at last had reached the realms of reality.
 France, M Briand declared, had been moderate. She could have de- |manded the application of the Spa sanctions, but she preferred to dis cuss with the other allies the ques- tion of the disarmament of Germany, which remains vital to France.
 The French delegation, the premier added, has asked that the engage ments subscribed to be fulfilled with the shortest delay

at the same time to assist her eco- homie recovery. This recovery, how ever, is to be limited to avoid the spectacle of the enrichment of van quished race and the ruin of the victor.
 Strict control had been made of the German customs and exportations, and the separations commission, M. Briand said, would fix the total of the debt on the first of May.
 The forthcoming London conference the premier concluded, will decide the amendments to be made to the Turk ish treaty.
 "The Franco British union has been considerably strengthened" the depu- ties were assured
