SALARY LIMIT IS
 TO BE LOWERED

Little Rock, Ark, December 1S.-(Spe- cia1. )-President W. M. Kavanaugh of the Southern league is back from New York, where he attended the meeting of the National Association of Minor leagues. Relative to the promotion of the South ern league from Class "B" to Class "A" he said:
 We only get into class AZ after the hardest kind of a fight. In addition to the advantage gained as regards drafting, the National association gave the South ern league to understand that it must come down in it's salary limit.
 "The $2700 limit fixed at the recent Mem phis meeting will therefore have to be amended, and I will send bulletin to the clubs In the league asking them that some action be taken as the limit of class "A" league is only $2400. Billy Carpenter will not umpire In the south ern league next season. He was about to affix his signature to Southern league contract when he was made an offer by the National league which he accepted"
 President Kavanaugh saw President Harry Pulliam of the National league in New York and was advised that Carpen- ter would be wirs. the majors next season. The only umpire signed in the Southern league thus far Is Dan Pfenninger.

 HAVE SUSPENDED BUSINESS
(Continued from First Page)

~~~~~~~~~-~~~~~ are about $l4 O00,OO0 in individual accounts and S2, ,5O0 600 due to other banks.
 The Home Savings bank was organized
 in 1867 with a capitalization of Sl00,0O0 It existed for many years as an independ- ent institution, and about twelve years ago became a part of the Chicago Ma tional bank. It was primarily a savings institution. Its last report showed re- sources of $4,230. GOO for the most part in railroad and municipal bonds. The savings deposits aggregate $3,9S3,000.
 The Equitable Trust company was char tered in 1887 to act as administrator, eXecu- tor, trustee and to receive and execute trusts of every character. The capital stock is $500,000. and the resources are s4el2 900. The liabilities include $2, TOT, 563 of which amount $454 ,000 are deposits in trust and S5O0,000 in certificates of deposit.
 The Chicago National bank has been an active factor in local politics for several years. and the enormous funds received from the taxation for the building and maintenance of the drainage canal have been a part of it's deposits and have been available for investment by the bank. A change was recently made in the political complexion of the board, and 1t was un- derstood that these funds would not re- main for any length of time as deposits s in the Chicago National bank Their im- pending withdrawal had much to do with the fear of the other banks of a far reaching collapse If they did not come to the aid of the weakened institutions.

Fear of Operation Sends High School
Graduate Into Fatal Commissions.
Colorado Springs, Col.-Thrown into
a frenzy Of fright when informed she
would have to submit to q slight sur
gical operation, Miss Susie HeHin, a
pretty High School graduate, who was
popular in the younger social set, dled
from cerebral hemorrhage. For hours
three physicians worked unremittingly
to relieve her from the hysteria and
commissions which followed the infor-
nation that she would have. to go I'M
der the knife. They even resorted in
the last extremity to artificial respira-
ton, but after hours of agony the
young girl died.
Miss Herrin. who was nineteen years
old, lived with her mother in No. 314
East Monument street. Her friends
believed she was in perfect health.
There was nothing in her condition
to cause uneaSineSS to Mrs. Herrln
until she noticed that her daughter
seemed nervous.
"Tll send for the DOCTOR" she said.
But 1 don't want the DOCTOR" in
sisted the high-strung girl, who bel
came even more nervous when her
mother persisted in her purpose. The
family physician arrived in the course
of an hour. He found Miss Herrln
nervous and unduly excited, but made
light of her condition.
"a slight operation will be neces-
sary," he said.
Miss Herrin screamed a violent pro-
test. The doctor endeavored to reas-
sure her. but she went into Mysteries
and violent commissions followed.

London, England. - Dispatches from
Toxic to the London morning news
papers represent japanese feeling as
becoming highly infla,ned at Frances
alleged failure to prevent oStentatious
disregard for the principles OF neutral
ity by the Russian Pacific squadron.
The Toxic Asahi blunt lily describes the
French assurances that they would
preserve neutrality as falsehoods, said
that Japan would be justified in bonn
harding French territory, and calls
upon the Government to take vigorous
action.
Among japanese officials in London
1t was asserted that France put off
Japan by fair promises in order to give
Rojestvensky time to effect a junction
Of his forces, and that the Russians
now have every privilege provided
they keep just outside the three-mlle
limit.
The Daily Telegrapa's correspondent
at Toxic said that IT. response to ia
pans second protest France intimated
that Rojestvensky had been ordered to
leave Honkohe.
The Times correspondent at Toxic
reported that the Japanese chambers
Of commerce were acting together on
measures to cease all commercial trans
actions with French citizens.
The Times, in the course Of a strong
editorial, warning France of the ex-
reroe danger and gravity Of the situa'
ton in the Far East, and appealing to
that Government not to treat the Jap

has reason to believe that Lord Lans-
downe has spoken strongly to the

Irish Proverbs.

The proverbs Of a nation are the dis
TILED wit Of generations Of its people;
and tie true wit of the race is often
times in proportion to the truth and
beauty Of it's proverbs. Few nations,
and few languages possess more beau
tiful sayings than the Irish. 1.-THE silent
mouth is melodious," is an Irish aphor-
ism pregnant with beauty and poetry.
And another saying, i~ncalculating a
charity which is spiritually needed in
this modern world Of ours, is that
which tells us "Our eyes should be
blind in the abode Of another" The
beautiful faith and the magnificent
optimism of the Irish race is well pic
tured in their proverb, God w
shuts one door but He opens two"
Autumn days come softly, quickly,
like the running of a hound upon a
moor" is poetic, vivid truth. And here
is a sharp, satirical one that cuts sew
eral ways at the same time: "a poem
ought to be we'll made at first, for there
is many a one TO spoil it afterwards"
