CRUNLEY WILL
Be REINSTATED
The Indianapolis Telegram
Saves His Record.
GOT NO PAY FOR PITCHING
Advisory Board Thinks Evidence IN
sufficient TO Disqualify Him.
Stand Is Approved.

Further developments in the case of
Tate Crumley, the Georgetown star
pitcher, who was under suspension
pending an investigation of the report
that he had played with the Indianapolis
American Association team the latter
part of last season under salary, were
brought forth yesterday with the an
nOuncement of the advisory committee
that It did not consider the present evil
dence sufficient TO keep she player out
Of the games.
At noon the reply from the manage
ment OF the Indianapolis team was re-
/ ceived a. the college. and meeting
| Of the advisory board was held. This
| board is composed Of Faculty Rspresen-

Paid Own Expenses.
According to Manager Ruschaups
telegram Crumley received absolutely
| no pay from the club under any pretext,
is not and was not under contract, paid

hotel and on railroads. and did not play
under an assumed name.

when they are received the committee

now stand it was not believed to be just
to the tWirIer 10 keep him under sus-
pension.
Formal charges have not been filed
against Crumley by any of the colleges
which ne has defeated while pitching

that, as there has been nothing but

not be expected 10 shut him off Tho

The Resolutions.

Following are the resolutions
adopted:
1T Is the sense OF this convention
that we endeavor, through our en-
ergies, to effect the adoption OF the
amendment to the constitution grant
ing to cities OF the first and second
class the right to issue evidences OF
Indebtedness tor improvement, and to
make plain to the voters that this
Is purely a local measure, and will
in no wise affect state taxation.
Our efforts are devoted to the en-
actment and adoption OF this amend
ment for the following reasons:
"First-It will make cities out OF
towns.
"Second--It will invite immigration
to our state.
"Third-It will create great centers
for the marketable produce OF the
farmer.
"Fourth-It will place the burden
OF taxation, in part. upon the com
ing generation, which will reap the
greatest benefits of our efforts and
improvement,
"Fifth-That it was endorscc by the
state Democratic convention and is
now part OF the state Democratic
platform.
"SiXth-It will give Arkansas an
opportunity to take a prominent posi-
ton along with her more progressive
states, where she rightfully belongs
Feeling assured that a clear and
unbiased presentation of the tenets,
purposes and results of this amend.
ment, properly placed before the in.
telligent voters of Arkansas. will re-
suit in it's almost unanimous adoption
therefore, De it
Resolved, That a committee of five
be appointed, which shall be known
as the executive committee. and
which shall have arbitrary and abso
lutte power in all matters pertaining
