Senator Davis fails to strike retraction from records
Washington March 2 Senator Jeff Davis of Arkansas failed to strike from the house committee on public lands records a statement he made while advocating a bill to clear title to about 190000 acres of swamp lands in eastern Arkansas known as sunk lands. He admitted he represented the St Francis levee board which claimed title and had sued timber cutters. The committee voted to allow the change, Davis denied making the quoted words, and issued a statement calling reports of a fee for timber illegitimate. He says the bill would quiet title for land bought by friends of the levee board with support from former Interior Secretaries.
