Opposition Grows Follow
ing a Conference Of Dem
ocratic L.eaders-Hitch-
cock Changes Minds
Votes For Defeat Requir-
ed.

Washington, March 3.--Opposition
to the four-power Pacific pact grew
more formidable yesterday following
an important powwow of Demo-
cratic chieftains at dinner given
by Joseph P. Tumulty Wednesday
night in honor Of Ex-Gov. James M.
Cox of Ohio, Democratic presidential
nominee in 1920. Senator Hitch
cock of Nebraska, ranking Demo-
cratic member Of the Foreign Rela-
ton Committee, who led the fight
in the Senate in favor of the League
of Nations and who participated in
Wednesday nights conference, rose
in the Senate yesterday afternoon
and declared against the four pow
er pact.
His action created stir, because
heretofore lie had been counted as
one of the friends of the treaty.
During the debate, Senator Jones of
New Mexico, Democrat, also classed
as q supporter of the pact heretofore,
indicated that he would join the
opposition.
With these and other additions to
their ranks, the anti-treaty forces
claimed to have within three votes
of enough to defeat the fourpower
pact and they predicted further
converts. Thirty-three votes are
necessary for rejection, and the OPP
position votes now number about
|30, according<to anti-treaty leaders
A half dozen or more senators are
listed as doubtful
Administration leaders insist that
the revolt will lose rather than gain
in strength and that there is nc
serious danger of rejecting the four
power pact or any other confer
ence treaty.
Only four Republican senators
Borah, Johnson, La Toilette and
France, are definitely off the res
ervation and Republican stalwarts
are confident that there will be nc

guests included A. Mitchell Palmer
former attorney general; Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska, Senator
Pittman of Nevada, Senator Harri-

PENALTY
LIKELY TO
BIZ; DEFERRED
Governor McRae is of the
Opinion There Has Been
No Occasion or Demand
This Year.

Little Rock, March 3.-There is
little probability that Governor Me
Rae this year will issue a proclama-
ton, as he did last year, extending
the penalty period for the nonpay-
ment Of taxes. The governor yoster-
day said that there has been very
little demand FOR such action, and
that so far he had given the matter
no consideration. Unless there is
o very considerable demand for time
extension, no proclamation will be
issued
The last day for payment Of
taxes is April 10, except in Pulaski
county, where the date, by special
legislative act, has been moved up
to June 20. After these dates un-
paid taxes become delinquent and
penalty of 25 per cent attaches,
The governors proclamation last
year extended the time for payment
OF tax without penalty for several
months, and the terms of the proc
lamation were complied with by all
collectors in the state, except the
collector of Benton county, who in
sisted on the penalty
The governors proclamation was
more in the nature of a request to
the collectors to defer the penalties,
as he is not AUTHORIZED to extend the
time. A ruling by the Arkansas
Supreme Court on the question is to
the effect that while the law does
not vest the chief executive with
power to extend the penalty period,
collectors are not prohibited from
complying with request to this
effect

KLANSMEN IN
ACTION CITY
LITTLE ROCK
Men ROBBED in Regalia of
Mysterious Order Make
Round of Pool Halls and
Issue Orders.

Little Rock, March 3.-Quinn {.
Farabee, proprietor of the TWIN
City Pool Hail. North Little Rock,
was ordered to leave North Little
Rock within seven days by body of
II masked men. dressed in the
regalia of the Ku Klux Khan last
night.
The 10 men entered the Twin
City pool hall at O'Clock, and the
spokesman asked to speak TO Fara-
bee. II. C. Burress, an employe
of the pool hall, told the spokes-
man that Farabee had stepped
out Burress then was told to de-
liver to Farabee the following mes
sage:
1--WE have been informed that
man named 'Puss Farabee is in
tending to bring into North Little
Rock two carloads of women for
immoral purposes. We command you
to change your mind, if this is
true. We will give you only seven
days in which to leave North Little
Rock. It is our intention to return
to the Twin City pool hall seven
nights from tonight
The robed figures, after delivery
of the message, formed in two
columns and silently left the build
ing. The leader was the only one
who spoke while they were in the
pool hall.
Negroes Are Warned.
The barber shop and pool hall
owned by Fred Snodgrass and Geo
Washington, negroes, at 201 East
Washington avenue, was next visit
ed by the silent, white-robed men
Neither Snodgrass nor Washington
was there. Word was left with
a negro employee, "Wad" Freeman,
''to clean up or leave town" Fol
lowing this visit the band dispersed.
The visits, eye-witnesses said, were
carried out in an orderly fashion and
there was no connection.
When Farabee was asked last
night if he intends to leave the
city he declared emphatically that
he will not leave.
Declares He Il Innocent.
'"They have not given me fair
deal" Farabee said. 81 am not
guilty Of their charges, and | think
they should talk over any matter
they have against me with me be-
fore ordering me to leave town."
he said. Il am innocent and can
prove it, of any charges to the
effect that | intend TO bring any
women into North Little Rock"
Farabee said the charges arose
through prejudice of one of his enc
mics. He called the person who
first intimated that he intended
to deal in immoral women as a
damned liar"
Both Snodgrass and Washington
also denied knowing of any wrong
doing at their place They told
"a Gazette reporter that they have

Ma COMPLAINTS to Police.
Chief of Police August Ganser
said that he knows of no Irregular
ties or law violations at either of
the places visited by the robed men.
He said that no arrests have been
made in these establishments and
that no complaints have been made
against them,
Should the Ku Klux Khan wish
my assistance in Kidding the city
of the undesirable element" he said,
they have my entire force at their
disposal. We are doing our best
to clean the city Of all undesirables
and will cooperate in every way
possible with any law and order or

four POWER PACT ENEMIES
ARE GROWING MUCH STRONGER
AND RATIFICATION MAY Lose

per, former internal revenue col
lector, and McAdoos right hand
man, Raymond T. Baker, director of
the mint; Arthur B. Rouse, chair
man of the Democratic Congression
al Committee, and Angus Mclean
of North Carolina. Mr.. Cox, it was
explained, just happened to be pass
ing through Washington on his way
South for few weeks visit and
Mr.. Tumulty seized the opportunity
to give little dinner in his honor.
The dinner resulted in an exceed
ingly profitable exchange of ideas
bearing on the issues of the APP
preaching congressional campaign.
There were no formal speeches, but
almost everyone participated in the
general discussion.
Mr.. Cox let it be known that he
was at the services Of the party for
stump-speaking during the coming
campaign and received grateful
thanks.
Two Leaders Absent.
One Of the most significant things
about the dinner was the absence
of two Democratic leaders, Senator
& ritter t5tt "a i iii and Seaa !,
Pomerene of Ohio, both Of whom are
doing their utmost to aid the Re-
publicans insgetting the four-power
pact ratified.
Considering the fact that Senator
Underwood is the Democratic leader
in the Senate and that Senator
Pomerene is the Democratic mem
Der of the Senate from Cox's home
state, their absence was the cause
of some comment Whether it in
Dictated disapproval of their attitude
| in the treaty fight could not be as
certained.
| 1t is said that there was a general
disposition on the part OF Mr.. Cox
and his friends to favor a reserva-
tion opening the membership in the
four-power pact to all nations who
might have interests in the FaI
East and thus make the treaty a
sort of Pacific League of Nations.
Senator Hitchcock told the Sen
ate he had reluctantly reached The
conclusion that he could not vote
for the ratification of the four-pow-
err treaty unless some changes are
made by amendment or reservation
and certain other objections re-
moved" He charged that the four
power treaty was conceived in Sc
crecy," while the public attention
was engaged with the reduction OF
naval armament.
Senator Jones of New Mexico said
he couldn't understand why the
United States was dragged" into
the four-power treaty and asked
Senator Hitchcock for enlighten-
ment. Senator Hitchcock said the
only reason he had heard advanced
was that it was necessary to abro-
gate the Anglo-Japanese alliance.
"In other words,' said Senator
Hitchcock, I'VE go into the alliance
in order to get the British out"
Reports were current yesterday that
Mr.. Cox had conferred with former
President Woodrow Wilson, while
here, but they were later denied.

PROHIBITION AND BEER.

fhUalDl4lOE xAAvO O2AAAAS'
In its appeal to the country TO
demand amendment of the vol
stead law to permit the manufacture
and sale of beer and light wines,
the Executive Council of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor says:
1--WE do not protest against the
Eighteenth amendment to the con-
stitution. which now is part OF
the fundamental law of the land.
We do not protest gainst the princi-
pie established by the Eighteenth
amendment. 1t is our contention
that the Eighteenth amendment,
under a reasonable and proper legis-
lative Interpretation, would be Dene-
fetal to our country and would
have the support of the great ma
jority of our people"
The Executive Council of the
American Federation of Labor wants
q prohibition amendment, but does
not want prohibition. The manu-
facture and sale of beer would
mean the end of prohibition. II en-
forcement is difficult now it would
be infinitely more difficult IL beer
could lawfully be sold. And the UNI
fortunate economic results of drink
which had large part in bringing
about prohibition, would be almost
as great with the general sale OF
beer as they were when both beer
and hard liquor could be sold.-
Arkansas Gazette.
Most every day news reports
publish instances of communities
that have taken advantage of Fed
eral aid in building hard-surfaced
roads; it is beginning to appear that
rywhere--excepting this particu-
lar section Of Northeast Arkansas,
those hard roads are being built or
going to be built in the very near
future. 1t appears strange that any
community, needing good roads,
would decline to enter upon the
government offers to contribute so
literally to the enterprise. The COM
munity that does not take advantage
Of the offer is paying it's pro rata
OF the Federal fund in government
taxes without getting any Of the
money back in road building.
Strange, indeed, that any communi-
ty can feel that it can afford to
pursue such policy.
Bishop Thomas Gailor, president
of the National Council OF the
Protestant Episcopal church, has
announced that he wants the Vol
stead act changed. 1t has been sug
gested that the brewers OF the
nation are wanting exactly the same
thing.
