Speaker ( lark, when he was in troduced by Mr. Robinson, stated that be was glad to be present on this oc casion for several reasons. One was because of his many warm friends among the Arkansas congressional d' legation and another was because of tlie royal fashion in which the Arkan sas Democratic state convention re eeheti his young son, Bennett Champ t lark, when he addressed it last Wring, thanking it for its splendid support of his father. Speaker (lark spoke of the great natural resources of Arkansas and de clared it to he his opinion that it is tbe most .underated state in the union This is being rapidly remedied, how ever, he declared. Her rich soil he said, “her splen did climate, her vast timber lands, her inexhaustible mineral wealth, her nu merous rivers, her great water power, her fortunate geographical position - al! those things insure to her a future lull of hope, with a certainty of riches and success. But better than these, than all. is her truly American citizen ship. than which there is none sturdier or more thoroughly American between the two seas."

TOLL TO BE $1.20 PER TON Estimate Made That in Twenty Years the Cana! Will Be Self-Sustaining —American Ships Favored. M '■etern News- aj < r I'nlnn News fcr\ e Washington.—President Taft has is sued a proclamation fixing the rates that the foreign shipping of the world shall pay for passage through The Panama canal. The proclamation, made under authority of the canal act passed by Congress in August, es tablishes a merchant vessel rate of ?l-20 per ton of actual carrying ca pacity, with a reduction of 40 per cent on ships in ballast. The provisions of the proclamation are as follows: 1. On merchant vessels carrying passengers or cargo, $1.20 per net ves sel ton—each 100 cubic feet—of ac tual carrying capacity. 2. On vessels in ballast without passengers or cargo, 40 per cent less than the rate of tolls for vessels with passengers or cargo. 11.

American coastwise shipping was exempted from toll payments by Congress. It was to this provision of tiie act that Great Britain diplo matically protested.

Ga., the scene of the crime, according to a report received here. Higgins made his escape by jumping from the win dow of a moving train.

However, he was discovered, and his arrest followed. Higgins denies that he is the man who is wanted for the Georgia murder, but Sheriff Cole says there can be no mistake.
