NOTICE BY COMMISSION.
Revision of Reserve List of Players Is
 Suggested.

Cincinnati, January 1.-The notices en- tered by the national baseball commits sion, suggesting a revision of the final reserve list is addressed to the officers of the National association, and in part is as follows:
 We desire to call attention officially to the National association final reserve list issued on October IT, 1907. This list contains the names of a great number of players as being reserved by various Ma tional association clubs, to whom such clubs have absolutely no title whatever. It pertains to players who have been pur- chased or drafted by major league clubs. In some instances many thousands of dollars are involved, and it is for that reason that we call your attention to this matter at this time so that the subject may be properly and intelligently consid- cred and such action taken with respect thereto as may be deemed advisable.
 We recommend that an investigation of this matter be made at once, and if it is found that the title of the players re- ferred to have passed from the National association clubs, carrying them on their reservation lists as to the major league clubs as indicated, as no doubt will be the case in almost every instance, but that all of such names together with such others as may be found in the same class be at once stricken from said national as- sociation and final reserve list"

SHREVEPORT GOES
 FOR PROHIBITION
THE STAT= CAMPAIGN WILL BE LAUNCHED ON THE STRENGTH OF THE VICTORY, BUT CON- TESTS WILL BE MADE.

Shreveport, La, January 14-After one Of the most strenuous and exciting cam paigns on record, Shreveport was carried In favor of prohibition today. Immedi- ately on the result becoming known those who led the fight for prohibition launched a campaign for state prohibition it being their intention to carry the contest to the legislature which assemblies in May.
 According to unofficial returns from ev- cry precinct in the parish of Caddo. the majority for prohibition was Il. In the city proper there was a majority of 309 against prohibition, but the county pre- cincts overcame this majority An un usually heavy vote was boiled.
 It is almost certain that the election will be contested in the courts on sev- eral grounds, the most important of which is that the claim of the warning issued by campaign committees on both sides that negroes would not be permitted to vote was an intimidation of voters and makes the election illegal. Prohibition is to go into effect January 1, 1909.

Canal Lock Is Sinking.

New Orleans, January 4.-To deter mine what must be done to remedy the sinking of the Plaquemine river lock, the largest in this country, Col E. H. Ruff ner in charge of the United States en- gineering work in the gulf department, left here today for the juncture of the Mississippi and Atchafalaya rivers, where the lock is situated. Having a depth of about 50 feet, this lock, now near completion, has steadily settled in the soft Louisiana soil until it probably will not meet contract requirements. The cost of the structure will be nearly $2,0OOOO0. It will connect the Mississippi and Atcha- falaya rivers through a bayou.
