SUSPENSION OF ELLIS
INCENSE CAMDEN BOYS

Camden, Nov 13.-Local football
men are highly incensed over the ac-
tion of the Arkansas Athletic Asso-
citation in suspendng Clyde Ellis, the
star end of the Hendrix team. Ellis
is Camden boy and played on the
high school teams here for several
years.
1t is asserted that the charge that
Ellis took three dollars for playing in
a game, is preposterous and absurd
The facts are said to be as follows.
In a close game here, Ellis made a
phenomenal catch, which retired the
ether side in the first half of the
ninth inning. In the last half Ellis
knocked a three -bagger with two men
on bases, bringing in the winning run
for the Camden high school. After
the game, some student passed a hat
and took up the sum of S3. This was
presented to Ellis as a tribute from
the local fans.
Ellis was regular student at the
school here. He stood unusually we'll
in his classes. He never thought of
asking for or receiving a penny for
his playing.

COMPLETE REPORT
JUST COMPLETED
ON GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
CONDUCTED UNDER DIRECT
SUPERVISION OF A. H. PUR-
DUE, STATE GEOLOGIST.

Little Rock, Nov 13.-The Arkan-
sas geological survey has just issued
It's complete report on coal mines and
mining in the state This is proba-
bly, the most remarkable work in its
line that has ever been published in
connection with any industry in the
south.
Months of painstaking investiga-
ton were conducted under the direct
supervision of A. H. Purdue, late
state geologlst, and all the coal mines
IN the state were personally examn-
ed, and the foremen and miners in
terrogated by the author of the re-
port, A. A. Steel, professor of min
ing, University of Arkansas.
Prof. Steel spared no pains in Sc
curing for the public the most valu-
able information in regard to the
methods of mining and preparing for
market the various grades of coal
now being developed, as well as de-
tailed accounts of conditions under
which the miners and mine laborers
work and the wages they receive in
their various capacities.
This is without question the most
exhaustive description of the Illus
trated equipments and labor-saving
devices ever written and only actual
experiences with practical, successful
methods and machinery, are taken in
to account by the writer
Prof. Steel has had much expert
ence in coal, copper, zinc, lead silver
and gold mining, and his scientific in
vestigations down in the mine with
the men who do and direct the work
enabled him to gather the fullest pos
slble correct information that has ev-
er been compiled in this connection.
This report has been authorized by
the legislature and is a most valuable
asset to every one interested in pro-
duclng or consuming coal. 1t is
bound in substantial cloth, and con-
tains 632 pages with 104 illustrations

the state geologist, Fayetteville, Ark,

Special 10 the EVENING NEWS.
Bedford, April 17:-Peter Luker,
of this place, was before the Middle
town Township Board Of Education
Monday night at their regular meet
ing in the Belford school and made
charges that his boy, Everett, was hit
over the back of the hand some few
days ago with a large lead pencil,
which injured the boys hand and is
thought that the cups which hold
the finger joints in place were brok-
en- or d~islocated by the blow. He
wanted the board to pay the expenses
of the treatment the boy was about
10 receive in the Long Branch hos
pital. Mr.. Luker stated that the
surgeons Of this institution took an
X-ray picture of the injured member
tday and that a photograph and re-
port as to the exact condition would
be given tomorrow.
1t was openly said by some of the
members Of the board that they
could not believe that the teacher
ever struck this or any other child
in the school as she is one who has
been in the employ Of this board as a
teacher for several years and bears
the best kind of a record, both as
to discipline and teaching. The dis
trict clerk was ordered to prefer
formal charges against the teacher
and Mr.. Luker was instructed to be
present next Saturday evening when
the case will be fully investigated
at a hearing before the Board of
Education.
Several permits from parents were
