LEAGUE OFFICIALS CRITICISED
ocAL ASSOCIATION 0ENoUNcEs PINE
BLUFF AS UNNECESSARY, uN WARRANTED AND uNsPoRTs-
MANtIkE, AND WILL ASK LEAGUE TO
IS

There was a meeting of the board
Of directors of the Pine Bluff Base
ball association in the Office Of Maj
n T. White, the president of the asso
citation, this afternoon and the follow
ing resolution was adopted:
Whereas, it has been communicated
to us by the public press that major
ity of the members of the Cotton
States League in meeting assembled
at Vicksburg, Mississippi, on Mon
day, July II, expelled the Pine Bluff
Baseball association from the Cotton
States League, and
Whereas, at said time, neither the
members of said club nor it's officers
had notice that it was even contem-
plated that such course would be
adopted, and had no representative
present to protect their interest, and
Whereas. at said time. the Pine
Rluff club was second in the race for
the pennant. and had ample financial
backing, and
Whereas we have reason to believe
that the members of said league and
its president knew several days be-
fore the meeting that such a course
would be adopted at the meeting
and with such knowledge permitted
the Pine Bluff association to send
away it's players on their trip around
the circuit at an expense, including
salaries, of over $3.50.
Now, therefore, be it resolved by
the board of directors of the Pine
Bluff Baseball association, that we
hereby condemn the cut and dried and
uncalled for action of the members of
the Cotton States League, in so un-
tremendously dropping one of it's old
est members, which was an active fac
tor in the pennant race. and charac-
terizes their action as having been
unnecessary, unwarranted and un-
sport tsmanslike.
Be it further resolved, that the Off
GERS of this association present to the
proper officers Of the Cotton States
League a claim for travelling expenses

er capitals for presentation by the
Before sending this notification the
Chinese government addressed to its
governors and to its diplomatic repre-
sentatives abb Dad icn2 list # ques
tions about Manchuria, asking their
opinions regarding the steps that the
government should take to insure its
restoration to China On one point
these replies We're sinsularly in ac
Cord-that this restoration should be
made unconditionally.
Advices reaching Washington indi
cate that the insistence upon the un-
conditional restoration of Manchuria
without condition finds favor in the
Chinese capital. and this, it is realiz-
ed. opens up an important subject
in connection with the Washington
conference. Having been the chief
zone of operations, Manchuria will
naturally figure prominently in the
conference. China insitence that she
be consulted about any arrangement
concerning Manchuria will. if respect
ed by the belligerents, 1t is believed
necessitate an indirect participation
in the negotiations by China. 1t is
learned on the highest authority that
the Chinese government is inclined to
trust Japan to execute her many
pledges concerning Manchuria. On
the other hand, Russia. it is believed
will come to the conference ready TO
forfeit her sphere of influence in Nan
churia only on condition that China
give to Japan no privileges that are
not accorded to all the powers. There
in lies China's best assurance that
little headway can be made regarding
Manchuria without communication
with Pekin.
Thus far no instructions have reach
ed the Chinese legation. which, in the
absence of the minister, is in charge
or Mr. Yung Kwai, regarding the send
ing of any representative to Ports
mouth
China's insistence that Manchuria
be returned to her sovereignty has
the full sympathy Of the Washington
government.

NOTICE ON POWERS
HAS BEEN SERVED BY CHINA
AND IT HAS REACHED
WASHINGTON.
Says She Must Be Consulted in
All Matters Which Pertain to
Manchuria.

Washington, July 31.-China's off,
cial notification to the powers that
she will not recognize any arrange
ment regarding Manchuria concern
ing which she has not been consult
ed beforehand has reached Washing
ton and will be forwarded to the pres
ident at Oyster Bay.
Before addressing this note to the
neutral powers China sent to st. Pc
tersburg and Toxic an identical note
containing this notification.
The Chinese communication is
briefly worded and so expressed that
it calls for no reply
The arrival of the text of the note
disposes of the unofficial report reach
ing Washington from Europe recent
ly which found credence in official
circles that China had requested that
she be allowed to participate in the
conference.
China has not yet taken this step
for several reasons The Chinese
government is anxious that so far as
possible the belligerents be allowed to
negotiate directly with each other and
is adverse to being forced into the ne
gotiatiOns. China's motive in address
ing to Russia and Japan such a mott
fication was to remind them that she
had never acquiesced in the aliena-
ton of the province of Manchuria
from Chinese sovereignty and that
she expected, as the first result of the
war, the full restoration to Chinese
control of that province. That this
position might receive the continued
3. support of the neutral powers, copies
of the note were forwarded to the 9th

TO BE REORGANIZED AND MANY
CHANGES WILL BE
MADE.
Complete Change, It Is Said. Can
Alone Redeem Agriculture De-
partment.

Washington, July 21.-As further
concession to public sentiment and
the agricultural interests, James Will
son, the secretary of agriculture, has
issued instructions to Willet N. Hays
the assistant secretary of the depart
ment. whom he has placed in charge
of the bureau of statistics to reorgan-
re that bureau completely and make
any changes whatever he deems nee
essary.
This would indicate that Secretary
Wilson has seen the Handwriting on
the WALL and has determined to do
everything in his power that will re-
lieve him from the odium of an ineffi-
cient and careless administration,
which has fallen rather heavily on his
shoulders during the last six weeks
The first thing Mr.. Hays did on
entering the bureau of statistics was
to announce that he would have to
have more money. This bureau four
years ago was costing the government
S146,OOO. This year it is costing $780,
AGO. Mr.. Hays says he can not get a
good statistician to take Mr.. Hyde's
place for $4,000, and he will have to
ask congress to raise the salary to
$4,000
A strong movement is to be started
al the next session of congress to
transfer the bureau of statistics from
the department of agriculture to the
department of commerce and labor,
This work really belongs either to
that department or the census bureau,
and the transfer can only be prevent
ed by a complete reorganization of the
bureau in good faith. Taas will mean
a complete change, from top to bot.

MUSKoGEE A PORT NOW
Shipping on the Arkansas Rive
Moved Up 1926 Miles.

Muskogee. I. T., July 21.-The first
beat loaded in Muskogee for 90 years
cleared from the Arkansas river
wharf for Fort Smith yesterday on a
regular schedule. This marked the
revival of the shipping that formerly
transported millions of dollars worth
of freight on the Arkansas river. 1t
was the first of the line of boats own
ed by the Muskogee Navigation COM
rany to go into service. Other boats
will be put on the river as fast as
they can be built. The most import
ant feature of the resumption of this
industry is that it moves the head
of navigation from Fort Smith up
the river 1875 miles to Muskogee. It
will give a great impetus to coal min
ing and the cotton business, which in
dustries have been more or less throt-
ted in the past by excessive freight
rates.

LONoKE INTERESTED.
Will Get Road Mr.. Sands interested
In.

Lonoke. July 21.-Considerable en-
thusiasm is now manifested here over
q new railroad which the Arkansas
Southeastern Railroad company pro-
pc ses to build from Leslie the south
ern terminus Of the North Arkansas
and St. Louis railroad, to the Missis-
>ippi river or Gulf of Mexico, through
Lonoke. The charter, however. calls
for only 144 miles from Leslie to Lo.
noke with branch road running to
Little Rock. That this road will be
constructed there seems no doubt, for
it has very strong financial backing.
among its promoters being former
Governor David r. Francis Of st.
Louis. who is one of the principal
stockholders Of the North Arkansas
and st. Louis: John Scullin. presidents
S w. Lee, chief engineer: George L.
Sands. general superintendent, and c.
L. Gilbert of st. Louis The construc-
ton of this road will mean much to
Lonoke. for it will give her direct con-
nection with st. Louis. passing
through both the mineral and fruit
belt of north Arkansas and the fer
tile corn lands of southern Missouri
Many fruit farms would already have
been established here if railroad con-
nection had been such that ST. Louis
could have been easily reached. On
the SOUTH if extended to the gulf, she
will have good connection with New
Orleans. passing through the best cot
ton fields in the union
This road with it's branch to Little
Rock, with the Pine Bluff north and
south. and the Choctaw route. now
here. will give Lonoke four lines and
three separate and distinct systems.
The citizens and board of trade real
ize that these roads are worth work
ing for and are pulling harmoniously
together for both systems.
It is to be hoped that by the time
these new roads are completed Lonoke
will have secured from the Choctaw
al the gravel that she may need. so
that it will not be necessary to MAKE
her flag station on the new roads
ic order to improve her streets.

REWARD OF $500 FOR ARREST

Los Angeles Cal, July 21.-SneriY
White of this county has arrested y
+. Terry, 40 years of age. former
president OF the Howard county bank
at Nashville, Ark, on the charge OF
cmbezzlement in receiving money in
an insolvent bank.
A reward of $500 was offered for
Terry's capture by the state of Arkan.
sas.
Terry has been fugitive since 1909
and has been living here with his fam.
lily for some time
ID. p. Terry was we'll known
throughout Arkansas and his defalca-
ton and flight two years ago caused
quite a sensation. It was supposed
that he went to Mexico and located
some where in the vicinity Of Monte
rey, but it appears that he concluded
hot to remain in that country In
view Of the fact that there was re-
ward out for him he was probably
place in an attempt to defeat efforts
! to locate him.
Terry was man of about 40 years
| OF age and had family. He is said
to have taken his family with him
when the bank over which he presid-
cd became crippled. He attended the
<,ct bn bo, .{otn
. sociation in Little Rock and it was
soon afterward that he left the state
to escape prosecution for receiving de-
Iosits after his bank became insoly-
ent
Acquaintances Of Terry in this city
say that he probably got away with
rome of the banks funds when he left,
hut that he feared to remain and face
the prosecution on the criminal
charges to which his management
gave rise.
The capture of Terry in California
two years after his flight from Arkan-
sas is regarded as evidence of the ef-
IGCClVcnGSS OI Jnc IntluOuS vi ucIcC-
tion employed in cases of this kind.
When Terry disappeared from
Nashville in April, 1903 the deposit
tors Of the Howard county bank at
that place, charging Terry with wreck
ing the institution, met and offered
reward of $500 for the arrest of the
missing cashier This offer was later
increased to 81 900 on the rumOr that
several persons who knew where Ter
nv was would bring him back in case
the reward were sufficient to compen'
safe them for their trouble. It is not
known whether these rewards are
still in existence or not. At the time
they were offered the feeling was
high against Terry in Howard county
