 Mr. JacoWay thinks meeting ot the various trade organizations in Ar kansas and Oklahoma should be call ed Jo form 8 central body to push the improvement of this long neglected stream. While his plan is still in an em5rvonic stage, yet Mir. JacoWay thinks that by converted action Con gress could ultimately be induced to app1opl fate al least $25,000,000 for the Improvement of the river.
 To Interest Business.
 The tentative plans of Mr. Jac0Way include the formation Of a commits sion to be composed of an equal number of representatives from both Oklahcma and Arkansas to obtain not less than $5N000 year, either by popu- lar subscription through the various Boards of Trade or by appropriations Gy town councils, if it can De legally done, 10 meet tne expenses ol Ihaln- taining 8 permanent office at Wash ineton to be in charge of competent man who not only knows the needs of the river, but who can get the ear oi senators and congressman ill efforts to induce Congress to appropriate an amount sufficient to insure open, yera-round navigation upon the Ark ansas river, from Tulsa, Okla, to the Mississippi river.

 The New England states are steal ing a march on the South by con- serving their natural resources and by the improvement of their water ways and water power.

JacoWay today, and they must be un remitting in their efforts. The spor- daic efforts heretofore made to bring about lasting improvements on the river have accomplished but little. Popgun appropriations, while they may help to some degree, do not meet the demands of the river, which can 2e made one of the greatest arteries Of trade in the United States. This will require an appropriation of not less than S25,000,000. and an appro- priation of that size can come only ton on the part of the farmers and business men of the two states.
 Little Rock Benefits.
 All the way from Little Rock to Fort GiEsoa is one continuous cotton field, and taken in connection with the vast forests and undeveloped coal fields all along the Arkansas river, there is no reason why the river should not become the busiest and most important inland waterway ill the entire country.
 owing to the retrogression of the Arkansas river as a commercial high way, the freight rates in that section have triple dwithin the past thirty I,, {I,t,o t-n'c' fro ni<.,ht ntn, on many commodities used in that section of the south were but 23 cents; today the rates have increased to 69 cents, which means that the cost of living has also increased in propor- ton.
 Would Lower All Rates.
 Cheap water freight rates on coal from the Arkansas and Oklahoma fields would solve the industrial trou- bles of many towns in both Oklahoma and Arkansas. Coal could be loaded direct from the mines on barges for $1.25 ton and the cost of transpor- ta,tion would not exceed S1. The Spad- ia and Clarksville coal fields are on the very banks of the Arkansas river, in fact the river bed at Dardanelle, Ozark, Clarksville and Spadra, is rich ill this mineral.
 An example of what water freight rates accomplish is the fact that sweet potatoes can be shipped from Darda- nelle to Little Rock by boat, 2S cents cheaper than by rail. Wherever one sees black smoke pouring from the factory chimnies in Oklahoma and Arkansas, one knows at once that tribute is being paid to the Northern coal, for Arkansas now produces a smokeless coal, which is unequalled anywhere. Under the present system coal can be shipped from the North ern coal fields to Little Rock cheaper than coal can Le sent from Spadra only 80 miles distant.

WORLDS AIR RACES IN CHICAGO

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 9.-Thirteen
airmen, representing six nations, will
compete in the Gordon Bennett race
at Clearing today, and the four days
meet which starts at Cicero on next
Thursday.
There will be four events at the
meet, the Gordon-Bennet cup race,
the American 1,500-mile grand circuit
race, three days aviation contests
and spectacular aviation play, which
will include plain and fancy flying.
Clearing, the first site of the races,
is fourteen miles from the business
district, in a southerly direction, and
lies between Sixty-third and Seventy
ninth streets, one mile west of the
city limits. The ground is in first
class condition the year around.
The two aeroplanes that will set
the pace for the other contestants are
those of France and United States
They are considered the fastest in
the world and are specially built to
win the $4,000 trophy offered as a
prize.
These two racing aeroplanes, strip
ped to little more than motor, propel-
Ter and rudder, are those to represent
France and the United States. The
French aeroplane is the highest type
and most recent product of the Deeper.
dussin factory of Paris. It will be
driven by Jules Vedrines, one of the
most daring aviators in the world.
The American plane is smaller, and
1t is claimed faster than the French
craft. Aviators Drew and Thompson
will operate the machine in an at
tempt to exceed Vedrines' record of
1O5 miles an hour. The monoplane is

When asked if Mr.. Helton had

had not.
Mrs. Curtis, accompanied by her
father, V. L. Skates, visited the Jail
at six o'clock Sunday afternoon, and
a long friendly conference followed.
The prisoner was seated in the Jail
yard when his wife entered. He is
young man of excellent appearance,
smooth face, brown hair and eyes and

The meeting between the young
couple was one of repressed emotion.
Mrs. Curtis, a girl of barely more
than seventeen years, and a striking
type of brunette beauty, was fault
lessly gowned in white. Her face was
flushed and eyes swollen, as with
much weeping. AS the Jail gate open

rapidly toward her, and they claped
arms in passionate embrace. The
girl-wife was crying softly, whispered
greetings were exchanged, and the
couple accompanied by Mr.. Skates,
went into the jailor's office, and the
door was closed.

shooting, Curtis declined to make any
statement, saying that he might have

SECRETARY FARRELL RULES
THAT LEAGUE ENDED WHEN
VcKs5URG DROPPED OUT.

Jackson, Miss, Sept. although
the actual winner Of the last 60-game
series. Greenwood will not be awarded
a pennant for the second season in
the Cotton States League.
This is the ruling of Secretary ]. H.
Farrell, of the National Association of
Baseball Clubs. and it must stand, I'M
less set aside by the national commits
sion.
Secretary Farrells ruling, in brief,
is to the effect that no league can
exist under the national association
protection agreement unless composed
of four or more clubs that when
Yicksbarg dropped out of the league
on August 18th, the 1912 season of the
Cotton States League automatically
came to a close and, as Columbus had
a lead OF onehalf game over Green
wood at that time, Columbus is there
fore entitled 10 the pennant.
Secretary Farrell declines to recog-
nize the three-legged arrangement
that was operated for a period of
about two weeks, composed of Jack
SON. Columbus and Greenwood.
The ruling really doesn't make
much difference, however. for there
viii hardly be enough money left in
the league treasury, after all out
standing accounts are paid, to pur-
chase i pennant. and the additional
likelihood that there will be no pen
nant Tapping anywhere on the circuit
next year, for the reason that there
won't be any league. renders the con-
troyersy one Of rather small moment.
