Washington, Jan. 19.—The definite
line-up of Democratic senators in the
contest for the minority leadership of
the senate in the next Congress, as
disclosed tonight by managers of the
campaign of Senator Simons of North
Carolina, showed a neck-and-neck
race for the position between him and
Senator Robinson, of Arkansas. They
are aspirants to succeed Senator Un-
derwood of Alabama, who will resign
the leadership March 4.
Claims of positive pledges for Sen-
ator Simons of 18 Democratic senators
now sitting and who will be in the
next senate, were made against 14
for Senator Robinson. The result, it
was said, hinged on the absence of
10 new senators-elect, some of whom
are pledged to neither side and a few
still declared in the doubtful class.
tax on oil production and pipe lines.
Other recommendations including
redrafting and valuation of the inher-
itance tax; income tax; franchise tax;
tax on certain operations and corpor-
ate privileges, and separation of state
and county taxes. A drive to collect
delinquent taxes also was advocated.
A concurrent resolution by Repre-
sentative Davis of Peach calling for
an investigation by a joint house and
senate committee into the number of
employes in state departments and
institutions with a view of reducing
the number and cutting down admin-
istration expenses was passed with-
out debate.
The committee on constitutional
amendments rendered a unanimously
favorable report on the Rountree-
Quaid joint resolution submitting to
the voters of Texas at the November
election of 1924 the proposition of a
constitutional convention.
The resolution provides that the
convention shall be composed of 93
delegates, 3 from each senatorial dis-
trict, all delegates to be elected at
the same time the people vote on the
convention proposition.
A joint resolution was introduced
this afternoon by Representatives
Pinkston of Teneha and Young of
Wellington, providing for a constitu-
tional amendment which would give
the legislature power to lend the cred-
it of the state to heads of families,
especially farmers, to enable them to
acquire homesteads.
The House appropriation committee
this afternoon adopted a resolution
stating that general appropriation
measures will not be considered dur-
ing the 60 day sessions of the legis-
lature. Similar action has been taK-
en by the senate finance committee,
making it probable that the present
session will be extended.

Washington, Jan. 19. — Proceed-
ings before the Interstate Commerce
Commission opened a road for com-
plete settlement of the controversy
between Western railroads over con- '
trol of the Central Pacific system.
Representatives of the Union Pacific,
which has bought the application of
the Southern Pacific to retain the
Central Pacific lines under lease gave
formal notice during final arguments
that they would withdraw from that
position and support the Southern
Pacific claim, provided the commis-
sion would approve a projected traffic
agreement between the two lines cov-
ering future neutralization in trans-
portation of the Central Pacific traf-
fic.
In behalf of the Western Pacific a
similar position was stated.
In principal the agreement provides I
for the maintenapce of through rates I
and services between the middle west:
and the Pacific coast via the Ogden I
lines of the Central Pacific. In ad-
dition the Southern Pacific would
agree to refrain from any discrimin-
ation against the Ogden in its en-
deavor to obtain traffic fowits own
route which runs via El Paso. Deal-
ing with the Western Pacific a sup-
plementary agreement proposes sim-
ilar conditions.

• St. Louis, Jan. 19. — The Post
Distpatch in a dispatch this afternoon
from a staff correspondent at Har-
rison, Ark., states that several mem-
bers of the Citizens committee de-
clared that now that Harrison was
“cleaned up” Leslie, where a score of
men were whipped Tuesday night and
Eureka Springs would be
up.”
In ordering railroad
families from Harrison, the dispatch
adds, the committee forbade them to
hire service cars, compelling them to
walk.
almost at the beginning of his testimony named Jeff Burnett,
former deputy sheriff now under arrest on a charge of murder,
as one of the members of the masked band that had Daniels and
Richards in charge the evening of August 24. Whetstone, since
stating several weeks ago that he identified one or more of the
masked men, has been in charge of the authorities.
Newt Gray was named again to-i------------- —
day as one of the hooded band, by Mrs. FI OCR R A FI? DM
J. II. Nabent of Mer Rouge. Whet- LLvmIj It/aLaJ Vzl y
stone testified that he left Bastrop
afoot the evening of August 24 with
the expectation that he would be giv-
en a lift by a passing motorist and'
that while walking he saw an automo-1
bile parked near the highway. T'
sumed it was a party of picnickers
hut on approaching saw that the par-
ties were black hooded men.
He almost reached them before ha
was noticed and when 50 feet away
one of them called him by name. They
forced him to approach, gave him a
bucket and told him to get some wat-
er.
Whetstone said upon his return he
sat upon a log for 30 minutes in the
midst of the party.
‘Pretty soon," he continued, “the
crowd came from Bastrop and all of
them got held up. Then about 30
minutes they told me that they had
Watt Daniels, J. D. Daniels, W. C.
Andrews and those other fellows.
Then I got loose from them
caught a car and rode home.
Asked if he recognized any
men Whetstone replied:
“Yes, T. J. Burnett.”
“Are you positive?”
“Yes, he had his mask up.”
Burnett, after his arrest here, de-
veloped pleurisy and was removed to
a hospital in Shreveport He virtu-
ally has recovered and left that city
today under guard to be returned
here.
The testimony regarded as of vital
importance to the states case was of-
fered at the afternoon session by Wm.
McDonald, brother-in-law if J. L.
Daniels. Mr. McDonald declared that
Jap Jones, mentioned frequently In
previous testimony, had told him that
the “whole damn family would be
cleaned out” before the alleged at-
tempt to assassinate Dr. B. M. Mc-
Koin, former mayor of Mer Rouge,
was settled.
