night and n looked as if the series
could never be concluded. The morn
ing was wet and threatening and the
weather man predicted rain or snow,
so everyone who was not already dis
gusted began to get that way. But
before noon the sky cleared off and
the afternoon was perfect, a beauti-
full Septemberlike day that helped
the workers dry the field and ar
range for the game.

A Sad MISHaP
AT LUMBER PLANT
c. r. Mclaughlin, Valued Employe Of
Short Leaf Lumber Company,
Has Arm Crushed Off.

C. r. Mclaughlin, 80 years old, an
employe of the Arkansas Short Leaf
Lumber Company, formerly the Saw
yer and Austin, was severely injured
Saturday when his arm was caught in
a big machine and so badly crushed
that it was necessary to .amputate it
in order to save his life.
Mr.. Mclaughlin has charge of eight
or ten large planers in the planning
mill and was adjusting one. His coat
sleeve was caught in one of the gear
wheels and before the machine could
be stopped his arm had been ground
up so badly that it had to be taken off.
He was Immediately taken to the Da-
Wis Hospital where the operation was
performed by DR.. J. M. Lemons, the
company physician, assisted by Drs. G.
K. Caruthers and T. W. Woodul. 1t
was reported last night that he was
doing fine and would recover.
Mr.. Mclaughlin recently came here
from Bogaloosa, La, and had only
been here about ten days. A peculiar
fact about the injury was that at the
mill in Bogaloosa Mr.. Mclaughlin had
charge of just twice the number of
machines that are here and had never
been injured in any way He had not
yet removed his family to this city and
his wife and four children are at pres
ent visiting his wife's father in Louis
lana.

the day were many relatives and
friends of Rhea, as we'll as those OF
the deceased including his aged mo-
Their, Mrs Saphronia Archard; his
cousin, Mrs. Nora Hensley, and sever
al brothers.
It is expected that by TO o'clock
this morning the opening statements
of counsel will be made to the jury,
and 1t will likely take until noon to
complete them The taking of testi-
mony will follow. The state will rely
entirely upon the evidence taken at
the habeas corpns hearing before
Judge J. E. Martineau in Little Rock
several months ago, when Rhea was
denied bail, and SO far as can be
learned from the witnesses that have
been produced by the defendant the
defense will rely solely upon the claim
that Rhea Was not present when Ar
chard was shot to death by the negro
mob. It is expected that the dying
declaration of the slain officer, whose
last statement brought about Rhea,s
arrest. will cut a material figure in
the trial of the case. This statement
is said to contain the positive charge
by the slain officer, who lived for sew
eral hours after he was shot down,
that he was attacked by an unidenti-
fled mob of negroes, whom, he said,
was led by Rhea. This counsel for
the defense stoutly denies.
At any event the case promises to
be one of the most interesting heard
here for many months. Great interest
is manifested in the outcome of the
case here as was shown yesterday,
when the court room remained crowd
ed throughout the day despite the fact
that only the dull proceedings CT
empanelling jury was in progress.
The eleven jurors already accepted
in the case are: M. L. Elkins, an en-
balmer; R. L. Atkinson, bookkeep-
err: James E. Green, salesman;
Woodson Poss, clerk; R L. Burgess,
farmer of Dudley Lake township; S.
w. Boswell, plantation manager OF
Old River township; J. H. Watson,
farmer of Spring township; S. H.
Phillips, railroad employe; A. $.
Trigg. wholesale grocer; B. w. Ben
ton, real estate man; and George Dali
by, merchant.

ROBINSON RAPS
Mr.. DONAChfY
CANDIDATE Is
INSINGERE.
WANTS A THIRD TERM
Robinson Challenges Donaghey to
Joint Canvass and Says He
Hopes He VIII Accept.

Governor Dcnaghey has announced
for third term. The announcement
caused little Or no surprise, following
his attitude on the Turner-Jacobson
bill and was the OCCASION of little
comment politically. Since the new
tax bill had been declared by the
court to be subject to the referendum,
it had been freely predicted that the
governor would ask for a third term.
In his announcement he roasts the
legislature, declaring that various
members of the last House and the
majority of members Of the Senate
we're bad, and declaring that the wh1s-
key element in the state is largely re-
sponsible for present financial condi-
tons. He takes credit to his admins
tration for the passage of number
of laws affecting labor, and refers to
the campaign which was waged two
years ago for the initiative and refer
endum. He says the state is now in
debt $1,OO0,000 and asserts that if he
had not vetoed many bills it would
have been in debt more than twice
this amount He urges the speed!
completion of the new state capital
particularly advocates the adoption OF
the new tax measure, the Turner
Jacobson bill
Takes Governor to Task.
+, Congressman Joe T. Robinson, a
candidate for governor, takes Cover
nor Donaghey severely to task on sew
eral points following the latter's for
NAL announcement of his candidacy
for a third term. In the first place ne
attacks the third-term proposition as
wrong in principle in Democratic
government, and declares Governor
Donaghey has already had four years
in which to demonstrate his ability
to govern state.
He attacks the governors charge
that opposition to the Turner-Jacop-
son bill Is found largely among the
tax-dodgers. Mr.. Robinson says:
1.-The governor has denounced those
who oppose the TT bill as tax-dodg-
= ers From an investigation OF the
tax records of Faulkner and Pulaski
counties, l believe him to be one of
the most successful tax-dodgers In
the country"

WEATHER CLEARS:
BASEBALL TODAY
GIANTS AND ATHLETICS WILL RE-
sumo BATTLE FOR WORLDS
CHAMPIONSHIP.
BENDER VS. MATTY
Betting is Z to 5 On Athletics-COm-
mission Refuses to Inyesti-
gate Graft Charges.

Philadelphia, Oct. 23.-The baseball
season will reopen tomorrow. The
rain that has held the Giants and
Athletics helpless for nearly week
has ceased, the weather is clear and
cold and an army of workers is busy
trying to reclaim Shibe Park and
make the field fit to play upon. That
the grounds can be put into condition
for play is certain tonight, although
they will be SO slow and heavy that
they will preclude the possibility of
real baseball playing.
The return of sunshine with brisk
wind and cooler weather restored the
cheerfulness of everyone today. The
Giants, who assembled again this
morning, that is, most of them, were
fans are rolling into Philadelphia.
Connie Mack is as communicative
as ever, but it was tipped very conf
dentially from the Athletics camp that
the Athletics think the six day has
helped, rather than hurt their chances
for the worlds title. It is to be Ben
der against Matthewson again tomor-
row and McGraw has made his last
strong bid when he sends Matthewson
to the slab. The Giants say they are
confident, but they are about as con-
fident as a fighter after he has been
knocked down twice.
If New York loses tomorrow's game,
it is all off And the betting, what
little there is of it, is to that the
Athletics beat them. The powers that
rule baseball are gathering again and
some dying interest in the worlds
series is revived not to much, and 1t is
doubtful if the crowd for Tomorrow
game will go over $4,000. The out of
towners have fled and it will be al
most entirely Philadelphia crowd.
The ticket scalpers have been badly
stung, which helps some.
The National Commission is consid-
ering a step that has raised about the
widest howl that has come out in the
series yet-which makes it cOnsid-
! cradle howl. There has been so much
trouble over the world series and so
much scandal and so forth, that the
National Commission has been forced
to- take notice. The chairman of the
! Commission said today that the Nat
ional Commission would not investi-
gate the ticket and other gratis and
gave as his reason for so saying that
while everyone complained, no one ev-
er gave any proof. But to correct
these faults, the Commission is con-
sider:ng, or has considered a serious
stepf 1t is afraid that the purity OF
baseball may be hurt by the great
amount of money involved. SO it con-
siders limiting the amount of money
the players in future series may get.
A stated sum is to be fixed by the COM
mission and the players will divide
/ that 60 and 40 per cent. The rest OF
the money is to go to the Commission
and the owners of the clubs involv-
ed in the series.
/ There was a wild rumor in Philadel-
phia this morning that the worlds
series was to be called off this year
and the whole thing dropped. That
was because rain pounded down all

believed to have been Miss Edmand.
81 am ready for my breakfast and
by the way, bring me all the newspa-
pers." This was the greeting given to
the guard by Richesen at the Charles
Street Jail this morning. The young
minister arose early, donned in a
dark business suit, which had been
brought to the Jail by his prospective
father-in-law, Moses G. Edmands, and
combed his hair very carefully. He
requested his guard to get his
breakfast from other than the prison
kitchen. This is privilege arrang-
ed by Moses G. Edmands. Get me
some toast, eggs and hot milk. Do not
forget the hot milk and remember to
bring me all the papers"
Mr.. Edmands who had come to see
Richeson early in the day, made a
second visit to the jail shortly after
noon, but declined to enter into dis
cussion of the case further than to
say: "The newspapers are printing
horrible lies about this young man and
| do not intend to desert him"
Richeson's declaration of innocence
was made public by the Rev. George
Holt, whose enga cement to Miss Rose
Edmands, sister of Miss Violet, was
announced lately and about the same
time with that of Mr. Richeson. Mr..
Holt said he was pledged not to d.
vulge anything else but his brother
of the ministry had told him.

FISHERMEN CAUGHT
IN FOREST BLAZE
Abandon Auto and Spend Several
Hours In Lake.

Daytona. Fla. March 2l.ACaught
in the midst OF forest fire while
returning from a fishing trip In a
new five-passenger touring automo-
bile. X. X. Kins. member OF a veal
thy and ,aristocratic New York fam.
lily, and J. r. Merritt OF this city,
were compelled to leave the car for
fear of serious injury in case the
gasoline tank should explode and
make their own escape by dashing
through the woods to a small lake
and plunging into the water. The
automobile was destroyed by the
flames, the explosion OF the gasoline
being heard for a long distance.
They had scarcely reached a small
lake before the forest seemed to
burst into flame from the explosion,
and they were compelled to remain
in the lake for several hours until
the flames had subsidized.
