LcEIeItner, Former Iron Worker,
ContradIcts His Testimony.
Indianapolis, Dec. 5.-Henry W. Legleit-
ner, indicted former member of the Iron
Workers International Executive Board.
contradicted himself several times in his
cross-examination as a witness in his
own behalf in the dynamite conspiracy
case this afterT,z on.
Legleitner fir wore he never saw in
the accounts he union. which he
audited, any che paid by the executive
board to John y. Mcnamara. He said
that as a member of the executive board
he never knew of the boards giving Nc
Narnara any money for organising pur-
poses between 1907 and 1911. He admitted
being present at all cxecutive board meet
ings, and said If e had been any
money paid McNaL by the board for
organizing. purpose he would have
known it, because he checked over every
item on the bool-s as a member Of the
auditing committee.
District Attorney Miller then showed
LegIeftner the books Of the union from
1907 to 1911 and called attention to en-
tries showing payments to Mcnamara
Rggregating $500. Legleitner identified
the books as the ones he had audited,
and repeated he had found no items of
any money being given Mcnamara above
his salary and expenses. Legleitner said
he also must have overlooked a $1,000
donation to Olaf Tveitmoe in 1910 Tveit-

In one home the police say Hunter got

When Mrs. Baker arrived In aWshtng-

Baltimore, she went direct to the office
of Inspector Robert H. Boardman, chief
Of detectives. "Oh what are you going
to do with my boy!' she asked. Inspec-
tor Boardman tried to console her, but
failed. He finally told Mrs. Baker that
she could visit the lad in his cell. Mrs.
Baker remained in this city only short

HENDRIX BASEBALL
TEAM DISBANDED
.PLAYERSARE DISCIPLINED
CHAMPIONS OF 1911 CANCEL
ALL GAMES AND WILL NOT
PLAY THIS YEAR.

From Fridays Daily.
AS a result of the failure of several
players to meet the rigid require
ments fixed by the faculty, the Hen
dirk College baseball team has been
so badly "shot to pieces that Coach
W. O. Wilson today cancelled all
games on the Hendrix schedule and
announced that the team had been
disbanded for the year. Through this
action the team which won the state
collegiate championship last year will
not participate in a single game dur
ing 1912.
The announcement was received
with the greatest regret by local fans.
Coach Wilson stated that the team
was already weak in the pitchers box
and the failure of the players to quail
ify left only one dependable twirler.
The team was further weakened by
the loss of Catcher w. W. Parker,
who decided several weeks ago not to
play this year. In all, about five
other regulars on the team were dis
qualified for failure to make the re-
quired grades or for other irregulari-
ties. The standard at Hendrix for
participation in intercollegiate events
of any kind is very severe, the re-
quirements being passing daily
grade and examination grade on at
least 10 hours of college work per
eek, besides a strict conformity to
the discipline of the institution.
Coach Wilson today wired Coach
Miller of Ouachita of the disbandine
of the team and has written the other
colleges in the association to the same
effect. Ouachita was scheduled to play
mere tomorrow and Saturday.
Coach R. L NIXON of the State
Normal, however, has arranged tc
play Ouach.ta here next Saturday
and Monday and Tuesday of next
week. He said today Saturday
game will probably be played at Hen
dirk park.
Much sympathy is felt for Coach
Wilson, who happened to the same
misfortune last year, when in charge
Of the Normal team, at which time
his men "fell down" and he was fore
ed to cancel all his games.
The log cabin Democrat. [volume] (Conway, Ark.) 1901-1982, 1912-04-11

hitting three, while Ellis walked nine
and "beaned' two. The visitors, how
ever, outbatted the Normal team, and
this accounts in the main for their
victory. Savages wildness was re-
sponsible for five scores by the locals
in the fifth, when he allowed but one
hit.
The Normal team held their own
until the eighth, when they blew up,
and five errors, two bases on balls and
three hits were punched for total of
eight runs. With the game slowed
away, the visitors eased up again in
the ninth, when a single, a base on
balls and a triple resulted in three
runs. Ellis showed the effects OF his
Saturdays game and was easy for
Ouachita, while Savage barring his
lack of control, mystified the Normal
batsmen. Landers' catch, of Sam
mons line drive to center was the re-
deeming feature of the game

TO INCREASE CORN
ACREAGE ON FARM

Little Rock, April 9.-"While we
have had much wet weather this
spring, farm work on the state farm
has gone right ahead, and we have in
over 1000 acres of cotton and consid-
cradle corn land is ready for plant
ing," says Clerk Andrew Witt, who
came up from the farm Monday to
spend week n town.
1--WE will go rather heavy on the
corn crop this year. 1t has always
been maintained that the state farm
was not suited to the growing of corn,
and most of the acreage has annually
been devoted to cotton, but last year
We had such good success with corn
that we will put in about 1000 acres
this spring and see if we cannot raise
enough to feed the states stock, and
in this manner cut off one of the heav-
lest expenses in the operation of the
farm"

CITIZENS.
Special TO the Log Cabin Democrat

Special TO the Log Capih behio"~
Little Rock, April 6.-Grantlng a
petition from large number OF cltl-
zens of Faulkner county, Governor
Donaghey issued q proclamation ex-
tending the time of paying taxes IN
that county without penalty for pc
riod of one month from April 10.
The formal proclamation has been
forwarded to Sheriff j. S. johnson
for official publication in the newspa-
pers.
The petition called the attention of
the governor to the fact that the peo-
pie of the county are nearly all in dlt-
fcult financial circumstances owing to
a poor crop and low prices last year,
and their condition has been made
worse by the unusually backward
spring. 1t was also urged that the
overflow of the Cadron and other
creeks made it impossible for a large
portion of the citizens to get to the
county seat and it would be unfair
for them to have TO pay penalty.
Governor Donaghey issued sim
liar proclamation on behalf of the
taxpayers of ST. Francis county sew
eral days ago.
