EMBARGO LIFTED
AGAINST ARMS
Constitutionalists Will Thus He
Able To Shorten War In
Mexico.
-
Washington, Feb. 3.—The em
bargo against exportation of
munitions of war from the Unit
ed States to Mexico is about to
be lifted. President Wilson and
the cabinet today finally decided
that because the embargo, by
practically depriving the consti
tutionalists of arms while the
government of Provisional Pres
ident Huerta is free to get them
from many sources, really puts
the United States in a position
of showing partiality rather than
neutrality.
The embargo is to be lifted
with the idea that rather than
contributing to bloodshed, the
importation of arms, by hasten
ing an end of the war, will re
duce bloodshed. An official
statement outlining the purpos
es of the administration will be
issued from the White House
later. Foreign governments have
been advised of the impending
action of the United States,
through the embassies and lega
tions abroad, and diplomatic re
presentatives in Washington
have been notified.
NO CHANGE EXPECTED.
It was said that the develop
ment would not affect the Amer
ican embassy in Mexico City,
nor the American troops on the
border.
A proclamation under the au
thority of the congressional res
olution of 1912, which will re
siure me status ui me arms
question to where both forces of
Provisional President Huerta and
constituionalists may export
arms from the United States,
soon will be issued from the
White House.
President Taft issued the pro
clamation which barred the ex
portation of arms to all sides,
March 14, 1912. He did this un
der the authority of a joint con
gressional resolution, which em
powered the president of the
United States to take such ac
tion whenever he should find
“that in any American country,
conditions of domestic violence
exist which are promoted by the
use of arms and munitions of
war procured from the United
States.”

Henderson-Brown College Burns.
| Arkadelphia, Feb. 3.— Fire de
stroyed the main buildings of
; Henderson-Brown College early
this morning and scores of stud
ents were rescued only by the
presence of mind of cool-headed
teachers. A loss estimated at
$80,000 was caused, but to
night, although the embers are
still smoking the Board of Trus
tees determined to have classes
held tomorrow in temporary
uuarters. This may be taken as
(an exhibition of the spirit
of determination, which will
mark the rebuilding of the school
structure.
Insurance for $50,000 is car
; ried.
The cause of the fire is un
known.
The flames broke out shortly
after 5 o'clock, and from the very
start the fire was marked by the
coolness of those in charge of
the school. Immediately after
the alarm was rung on the great
bells of the college, the precep
tress organized her teachers and
began the work of getting the
students out of the dormitory on
the third floor of the main build
ing in the kitchen of which the
fire started.
The girls marched cooiiy from
the building under the leader
ship of the teachers, but once
safe, a number of them were ov
ercome by excitement and began
to sob. The teachei's worked and
allayed any signs of panic after
a short time.
The ringing of the college bell
and the firing of many shots
brought thousands to the scene
The young men students of Hen
derson and Ouachita colleges
i n.-ivviorl tci + qppvip arid thpse
invaded the burning dormitory
and began the work of saving the
possessions of the girl students.
Many of the students risked
their lives in the building but
nearly every trunk in the build
ing was saved. The students
were assisted by some of the cit
izens.
Dawn had not fairly broken
when the last girl student reach
ed safety. Clad in only the gar
ments they had time to seize be
fore they left the dormitory,
the students stood in groups at
some distance from the burning
building. The light from the
fire illuminated their forms and
faces, and may of them cried a
loud as bit by bit and piece by
piece portions of the building
fell.
The fire was spectacular al
most from its start. Just after
the students and most of their
i trunks had been gotten out of
jihe main building there was a
■ crash and a column of flame shot
high into the air with a roar
! which could be heard for miles.
Tom Campbell May Run.
Pocahontas, Feb. 3—Tom
Campbell, who ran for Congress
two years ago against W. A.
Oldfield, may enter this race a
gain. Mr. Campbell is receiv
ing letters from residents of
the district, urging him to get
in the race. Mr. Campbell’s
friends are predicting a lively
race, should he consent to en
ter at this time. Mr. Campbell
stated to the Democrat’s repre
sentative that within the next
few days he would announce de
finitely what he would do.
As it now stands W. A- Old
field has no opponent in the
field.
