J. Aston Clapp, state manager for the Anderson, Clayton & Co.,, cotton factors, who last week had his right arm so crushed in gin at Harrisburg that it had to be amputated at the shoulder, is able to be out, though the amputation was performed but six days ago. Clapp was watching a round-lap gin, which was not working well, when a corner of his coat was blown between the cogs of the gin and he was drawn in. His arm had been lcrushed above the elbow before the machinery was stopptd. Had the ma jchinery run for 15 seconds longer he would have been crushed hfeless. He will continue to act as state agent of l Anderson, Clayton X Co.,, and will be also able to follow cotton chasing as
 before. having an artificial arm so con
 structed that he can clasp one end of
 the cotton so that he can pull it
 through the fingers of the remaining hand.

Judge Fulk will today decide the Imandamus case which was argued in his court yesterday afternoon in which the Bank of JoneSboro endeavors to force the state tax commission to low
 CT the assessment of the bank proper ty. The bank claims the Craighead county assessor assessed it's property in excess of the rate by which other property was assessed and the county
 board declined to change the assess lment. The state tax commission de clares it has no power to change in dlVidual assessments, and Attorney General Norwood, who recently made such a decision in public opinion, ar gued for the commission from that standpoint. Judge Fulk stated last night he would work on references un- til he had reachd an opinion. No mat

The origin of the fire is unknown
The blaze was first discovered in the
third story, and rapidly spread over
the building. The fire department
made determined effort to save the
building but to no avail The only
thing it could do was to save adjoin-
ing buildings.
There are many rumors here as TO
the origin of the fire and an investiga.
ton will be started. 1t Is claimed by
many that a threat to destroy Nowata
was made by a contestant for the
county seat In the election last week
in which Nowata was overwhelmingly
elected. The citizens of Nowata are
loathe to believe that the neighboring
Itown would iesort to such unworthy
tactics, but coming at the time it did,
the fire has caused much unpleasant

Loss OF LIVES TO
CAUSE CHANGES
Costly Experience Of Last Week
Causes Management to Urge
Change In Rules.

Indianapolis Ind. Aug 2S. r The
costly lesson OF last weeks automo.
bile races on the new Indianapolis
motor speedway, where Ave lives were
lost, may result in important changes
in the contest rules Of the American
Automobile association for the pur-
pose of lessening the future danger Of
similar tragedies.
The management Of the speedway
has announced that it would be rec
commended TO the contest committee
OF the A. A. A. that the rules be chang
ed SO as to provide that no driver shall
be permitted to continue in a long-dis.
tance race f. more than 100 miles at
a stretch, and that a driver must sub.
init to a physical examination before
re-entering such race after he has
been rested. Futher, 1t is to be sug-
gested. each car in race shall have
the attention of a mechanician and two
assistants. AS the rules stand now,
only the driver and the machanician
may repair car in the course of a
race.
These changes in rules will be en-
forced at the Indianapolis speedway
whether or not the National Automo
bile organization approves. The man
agement says that long-distance races
are intended as tests Of cars, not o.
men, and the strain of continuous
200 or 800 mile drive at top speed Is
to much for human endurance.
The fences around the speedway
crack here are to be moved back forty
feet. At the track edge guard raj
viii be put up. On the intermediate
strip only policemen and soldiers are
to be permitted during the races.
