NO TAXATION ON
 COTTONSEED HULLS
Attorney General Hal l.. N0rwo0d Holds Fccdstulfs Law Does Not Apply to Them, but
 Includes Chops.


 Little Rock, July 27.--Attorney General H. L. Norwood, who is spending few days with his fam fly at Baker Springs, sent in his opinion to Clay Sloan, commissioner of agriculture, yesterday, on the question of whether cottonseed hulls are included in the new con- centrated commercial feedstuffs law passed by the last legislature. The attorney general holds cot tonseed hulls are not intended to be included in the provisions of the bill. but that corn chops should be included. Commissioner Sloan was in some doubt about the matter, and as many dealers in these products had contended that the law did not cover cottonseed hulls, he asked an opinion from the attorney general.
 According 10 the ruling by the at torney general yesterday, a tax of D cents will be required on all cesn chops sold in the state, but the manufacturers and jobbers will not be required to pay a fee on cotton seed hulls. A great deal of cotton seed hulls are sold in Arkansas, the oil mill industry being extensive and varied over the state, and the 0pin- ion of the attorney general will probably settle the diversity of opinion on this point. Commission
 CT Sloan was inclined to believe that cottonseed hulls were intended
 to be included in the bill, but it's
 reference on this point were so
 vague, and there was such objee-
 ton on the part of the dealers that he referred the matter to the at ftr-,,t-v ess;,;.eal large driegatiOn of oil men and dealers also ap- peared before the attorney general and argued their side of the matter after which he took the matter un- Ider consideration. He had prac- IticalIy made up his mind before going 10 Baker Springs, but did mol have time to write his opinion unti iafter he left the city.

The postscript is not now on the

Escapes Police.

Harrassed by the police on both sides of the river, Leach was forced this afternoon to make his start from La Sale, two miles and a half above the cataract on the United States side. Two river men took him in a launch to Navy Is land, where everything was made ship-shape and Leach was placed in a barrel, a steel affair fl feet long with ends of wood.
 Leach was hung in canvas ham, mock. The barrel with is passen- ger was cast adrift just off the mouth of Chippewa creek, hardly a mile above the brink of the Horse Shoe at 2:52 o'clock. When 500 yards from the brink the barrel was caught in the tremendous cur rent and raced to the chasm.

 Within 200 yards of the brink it struck hard against the rock and large section of the wooden end was broken off.
 E As the barrel reached the crest at 3:I3 o'clock it swung straight and went plunging down into the abyss on it's long axis. Hardly 30 seconds elapsed until it was seen careening in the stume below the cataract. With the terrific out rush of the Horse Shoe caused by high water the barrel went float ing down crossing and tumbling i'll its passage toward the upper steel arch bridge.
 Frank Bender of Chippewa swan to it with a rope and caught the barrel by one of it's handles. From that point the barrel was lowed ashore. Leach was bleeding and appeared in a bad way, but once out of the barrel he raised himself and waved to the crowds that lined the banks. He was exhausted and it was necessary to apply oxygen to revive him. He thought that his leg was broken, but an examina- ton showed that it was merely sprained.

 pinchots statement continues:
 President Taft, in opening the lands around Controller Bay with put notice to the public, has given he interest behind Ryan an oppor- unity to acquire a key to the chan lel of the bay before the public new what was going on. A map, part of the presidents message, supported by testipony of Mir. Graves of the coast and geodetic survey before the congressional committee now investigating the question, appears to show that a mile and half of the harbor front $ taken up by Ryan, together with .racts which the government re- tains and on which it prohibits pri- vate entry, does not elfectually con- rol valuable portion of the chan nel.
 Tt is unfortunate that the friends If conservation, in an effort to bring about the development of Alaska for the benefit of the people, ire continually obliged to expend heir strength against the men who ought to be the protectors Of the peoples property.

are now under construction at the

be 600 feet over all-nearly the
length of an ocean liner. The other
will be $50 feet over all.
The larger ship will be used for

Before the two airships start to

for them to start northward they will
make trips from Hamburg to London,

With the Cubs in fair wav n

Chances team again becomes the
storm center of the National League
They are undoubtedly the people to
beat before any flag is awarded. The
reports of their having 'gone back"
were a trifle premature. They NAV
have started last fall, but changed
their minds this spring, and the vet
erans who We're supposed to be about
all in are moving under terrific steam
again.
All that early dope about their hav-
ing hit the chutes seems to have
stirred up the club, which is now
fighting and hustling as never before.
Unless the Giants come with a rush
at an early date the Cubs will un-
doubtedly have the call, as it isn't
likely Philadelphia can stick at her
present clip for any great length of
time.
The only clubs that have fgupred
in worlds series since 1905 have
been Chicago, Detroit, Pittsburg and
Philadelphia, and either Chicago or
Detroit has been in each fracas ev-
cry year since. 1t begins to look
trifle now as if one of these two
clubs would again stick upon the
worlds series program, with a chance
that both may be there at the au-
tumnal wind up.

only club that should have chance
to break up this three-cornered ar
rangement is McGraw's team, which,
with better pitching to back on, still
looks to be formidable factor.
From all present indications the
race in each league this season will
be the most open in years, for none
of the leading clubs seem to be any
stronger than in the past, while sew
eral of the erstwhile trailers have
come forward with a bound.
There are at least five clubs in each
circuit to be watched. Outside OF
Boston, st. Louis and Brooklyn the
gap separating the other five con-
tenders is much smaller than usual.
In the American, Washington and
St. Louis look to be the goats, while
the other six clubs are fairly sure to
make things much more interesting
than they were last year when Mack's
