caSt--AnOther western disturbance has
reached northwestern Arkansas in pro-
nounced form and hes thus far caused
rains in the lower Mississippi valley and
the southwest, and SHOWS to the north
ward and westward as far as the noun
tains. IN the east and the extreme west
the weather was fair. except in the north
east where local SHOWS continued.
1t is colder in New England and the
Middle Atlantic states and the orthwest
warmer in the central valleys and the gulf
states. and colder in the extreme west.
With the eastward movement OF the
western storm there will be another period
of unsettled weather with rain and snow
in the east and south with higher tempera-
lures, followed. however, by co der
weather Wednesday and Wednesday night
in the east gulf states, the Ohio valley
and western lower lake region. In the
west gulf states the weather will be fair
and much colder.
The coming rains may accentuate flood
conditions in the Ohio valley, and all per-
sons affected by floods are advised that
another rise is by no means improbable.
Further adviceS will be given as soon as
some estimate can be formed as to the
amount of rain to be expected from this
storm. This can probably be done this
afternoon or tonight
The winds a ong the middle and south
Atlantic coasts will be east to southeast
slowly increasing: on the east gulf coast
brisk to moderately high southwest to
northwest. and on the west gulf coast
brisk southwest to northwest.
Steamers departing today for European
ports will have light to fresh variable
winds becoming east to southeast. increas-

PRISONERS ATTEMPT ESCAPE
Large Hole Made in Wall of the
County Jail.
Three Men Make Provision for Escape
But Fail to Take Advantage
of It

After cutting a hole in the wall
large enough to admit the body of
a small man, three prisoners con-
fined in the Faulkner county Jail
failed to take advantage of the
means they had provided for es-
cape Sunday afternoon. The pris-
oners were George May, convicted
of carrying pistol; Everett Phil
lips, convicted of selling liquor,
and Jim Ard, convicted of malic-
ious mischief.
1t is the custom of Jailer 10 Har-
rison to allow the prisoners the lib
erty of the corridors during the
day and lock them in their cells
at night. Sunday night 1t was a
little later than usual when he put
the men in their cells, but he no.
ticed nothing unusual, and it was
not until he went to the Jail again
Monday morning that he discover
ed the attempted escape. Several
bricks had been removed from the
wall, and it would have been an
easy matter for the prisoners to
have escaped through the hole.
1t is thought they feared to make
the attempt before Jailer Harrison
made his last visit for the night,
and hoped to be allowed to remain
in the corridors during the night.
Are Now Working Roads.
Previous to the attempted escape
County Judge J. A. Lea had made
an order requiring county prisoners
to work on the roads, and on Mon
day the occupants of the jail were
delivered to Road Overseer Walter
Bowen, who now has them at
work.

CHAMPIONSHIP TO HENDRIX
First Honors Awarded College
Ball Team.
Record of Ten Games Won and Four Lost
Entities Conway School to This
Distinction.

According to announcement
made Monday by President O. d.
Longstreth of the Arkansas Ath
letic Association of schools and
colleges, the baseball champion
ship of the state belongs to Hen
dirk College. Some time ago,
Mr.. Longstreth, as chairman of
the executive com mittee- was au
thorized to secure from the various
institutions having any claim to
the honors, record of their sea-
son S work, including their adher-
ance to the use of amateurs who
were bona hde members of the
school for which they were play
ing. This done, he was to com
pile the various records and send
copy to each of the 26 superiDtend-
ents and presidents who are men,
bers of the executive committee.
On their vote, cast separately and
arbitrarily, was to depend the set
tlement of the claim for state
championship honors.
The time limit expired Monday
and the returns received by Mr..
Longstreth showed that the men,
bers Of the executive committee
were unanimous in believing that
Hendrix S record of ten games won
out of the IA played entitled the
Conway school to the honor.
Moreover, Hendrix is shown to
have played all of the games
scheduled and to have conformed
to the rule requiring that none but
bona fde members of the institu-
ton shall participate in the ath-
leticS OF the school.
