SEN. ROBINSON SLATED AS THE
 DEM. LEADER
Arkansan is Being Strongly Supported to Succeed Senator Underwood
 of Alabama.

Washington, Dec. 5.--Senator Jo- seph T. Robinson, senior senator from Arkansas, will probably be chosen Democratic leader in the Senate to- succeed Senator Under wood of Alabama, who recently an- nounced that his health did not justify his continuing in that ca pacity.
 The Alabama senator has suffered for some months from an asthmatic trouble, which at times causes him considerable distress and inconve- nience. While no time for the se- lection of a Democratic leader has been fixed, the question has been a subject of discussion among Demo- cratic senators since Senator Under- woods announcement some weeks ago.
 Two names only are discussed Robinson of Arkansas and Simmons of North Carolina The latter served as leader of the Democrats in the Senate, succeeding on the death of  Senator Martin of Virginia and down to the incoming of Senator Underwood.
 Indications justify the prediction of the selection of Robinson, who has the active support of such ag- gressive champions as Underwood, Pat Harrison and Key Pittman of Nevada. The Simmons forces are led by Senator Overman of North Caro- lima and Heflin of Alabama.
 Senator Robinson has impressed himself upon the Senate as few men ever succeeded in doing ill the same length of time. In him the ele- ments of leadership are harmonious ly blended He is courageous, he has mental boise, he is alert and re- sourceful in debate and. most im- portant of all, he has the confidence of his party colleagues. As law yer and debater he is not ex- celled in the Senate and his loyalty to his party has never been Ques- tioned.

CITY COUNCIL. REGULAR MEET
 LAST EVENING
Board is Anxious to Con- form to Wishes of Busi- ness Men Relating
 to Street Takers.

The Board of Aldermen met in regular session last evening at the City Hall and after attending to the usual routine of business 4entered upon sa.5 general discussion of the suggested ordinance to prohibit the issuance of licenses or permits to itinerant street hawkers; the kind that pick banjos and fiddle the peo- pie into buying nostrums and other merchandise of a questionable sort upon the streets of the city, near the places of local business men. The members of the council wanted matter but no one was there to offer suggestion as to just what was wanted in the way of municipal legislation.
 A number of business men had expressed the desire that the Council take some sort or action against the practice of permitting street fakers to operate upon the streets of the city. The Daily Press pre- sented the complaint.
 The Council, after general dis cussion of the topic, appointed a committee of three composed of May Walker, John Lytie and Jack Pearce to confer with business men and ascertain just what is desired in the way of legislation to prevent the operation of street fakers in the city. It was very evident that the Board of Aldermen wants to meet the wishes of the business public in this respect, but it will be neces- sary for the business men of the community to indicate their prefer ence in the matter.
 It was stated this afternoon that the Rotary club, upon the occasion of it's luncheon today, passed a reso- lution asking that the City Council establish the license for street sell ing of medicine, merchandise and the like at $50.00 per day.

PLAN A PERMANENT
 COTTON COMMISSION
Delegates at Memphis Meet ing Hope to Co-or-
 dinate the Industry.

Memphis, Tenn, Dec. 5.-Plans for the organization of a permanent governmental cotton commission, with representatives from every cot ton producing state, for the pur- pose of recommending legislation by the states which will aid in solv- ing probems now confronting the industry were proposed here yester- day at the second annual meeting of the cotton commission composed of delegates named by the governors of 12 Southern states.
 Under the plan proposed by A. ". Mclean of North Carolina which will be acted upon by the conference before adjournment Wednesday. a uniform act may be formulated which will be presented to the legis- lature of cotton producing states for adoption, and wnich will provide for permanent commission, the members of which will be named by the governor or legislature of each state.
 Necessity of uniform state legis- lation which would enable the cot ton producing sections or the coun- try to work together in controlling md cradicating insect pests and in the adoption of better methods of marketing and warehousing the staple, was strongly urged not only by government and state experts but by other speakers connected with various branches of the industry.
 Today Henry C. Wallace, secre- tary of agriculture, will deliver the principal address, outlining the work which the department has done and is prepared to do for the cot ton growers.

The trouble between the two men was the outgrowth of q dispute over the sale of some hogs. They met in Marmaduke and a re- vival of the discussion of the diff ferences between the two men re- suited in the tragedy. Particulars

MR. DAUCHERTY. CANNOT FIGHT. KU KLUX KHAN
Attorney General Makes Declaration That 1t is Entirely Up to
 State Officials.

Washington, Dec 5.-Alleged il- legal acts attributed to the Ku Klux Klan fall within the police power of the several states, Attorney General Daugherty has informed Senator Walsh, Democrat, Massachusetts, in reply to an inquiry, and the United States has no Jurisdiction over such matters.
 The department of justice has had the conduct of the so-called ku klux Klan before it for more than year, MT. Daugherty said but has not been able to find a single case which would bring the organization within the jurisdiction of the fed eral government. He assured Sen ator Walsh that if any such case arose the government would pro- ceed to vigorously prosecute the of lending organization or individuals.
 Daughertys Decision.
 MT Daugherty in acknowledging receipt of the correspondence, said :;
 'I have not been able to find a single set of facts which come with in the four corners of section 19 ot the penal code as interpreted by the courts..
 Casual examination of the cases under this section will demonstrate this. The rights and privileges re- ferred to in section 19 according to the courts interpretation of it, are substantially those denominated in the 14th amendment.
 "Your correspondent who thinks that the activity of the ku kluX Klan falls within the policy of the prosecution of the I. w. w. is far aficld, in that the defendants in the | I. w. w. cases were prosecuted for conspiracy under section 37 of the penal code which denounceS a con ;piracy to do some act which act is 1 in violation of some statute of the 1 United States other than section 37.

The tar and feather parties. assaults, homicides, etc., which you describe in your letter, fall within the police power of the several states and the United States govern ment has absolutely no jurisdiction in such matters
 The attorney general concluded by saying that, Eff any statement of facts come to the attention of this department which gives the federal government jurisdiction of any of- lenses committed by the Ku Kluz Klan or any other organization, it will be prosecuted vigorously

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. B. "Thc hammer murderess" is at large.
 Mrs. Clara Phillips, sentenced to a term of from ten years to life imprisonment for the murder of Mrs, Alberta Mea- dows whom she heat to death with hammer, made a daring escape from the Los Angeles county jail, one of the strongest prison cdifices in the country.
 Posses lave been organized throughout Southern California to take up the search for the fleeing woman.
 Immigration and custom off oers have been instructed to watch for the fugitive at the border, as it is believed she will make an attempt to escape into Mexico, if she hasn't d. ready done so.
 The only clues relating to the escape so far picked up arc just outside the jail walls. Three bars were sawed from the win dow of her cell, The cutting, apparently, had bcen done by someone outside ol the jail building.
 A ladder leaning against the wall gave silent testimony as to how the murderess escaped from the prison. It is believed she fled over room tops to the next street where an automobile picked her up.
