TY WAITING
FOR MESSAGE
To Report if Reply is Fa-
VOrdble

Augusta, April lily Cobb last night
said he was waiting in Augusta for 4
definite announcement from President
Navin, of the Detroit club, relative to
"a certain proposition" recently made
the Detroit management, but he de-
elined to divulge the terms of his lat
est demand, simply saying that it IS
none of the publies business.
Further than being here in waiting.
he says he has made no other plans
preparatory to reporting to Manager
Jennings.
when President Navin accepts my
offer, l will report at once and am ii
shape to jump right into the game" he
said. my demands are not exorbitant
and President Navin has told me that !!
am worth all ask but that the Detroit
management is unable to meet the sal
ary demands If | am worth it," Cobb
said, 81 ought to be paid what l ask. :"
He emphatically denies that any
kind of agreement, tentative or other
wise, has been reached between him
and the Detroit officials, and that the
Detroit president had made no late Of
'fers to him, he says The fact that he
has called off the games scheduled for
his team of volunteers, he says, shoull
not be taken to mean that he has
reached any decision.
Cobb will be in the city tomorrow
but he declined to say whether he
would stay longer. Cobb has confded
little or nothing in even his closest
friends and nothing of his possible
plans can be learned from them. Some
of his intimate associates go so far as
to assert that the matter will be satis-
factorily settled within a short time.
He is evidently anxious to get into
the game again with his Detroit team
mates, but he feels he is justified in
his course and will wait longer in
hopes of an amicable settlement. He
says he has great personal regarl
for the Detroit clubs president ana
manager and his hold-out is not a per-
sonal, but business matter.
Visible disappointment was shown on
his face when the result of the game
between the Detroit and St. Louis
Americans became known. When the
newspaper man told him the score ia
reply to his interrogation he made TO
comment, but showed on his face the
disappointment he felt

ARE URGING
PRESIDENT TO
ALTER CLAUSE
RELATIVE TO SUGAR TARIFF
President is Considering II
Carefully

Washington, April H. - President
Wilson was urged today to agree to
modification in the tariff schedule
on sugar to make il discretionary with
the executive at Ethe end of three
years whether sugar should be free
Former Governor Alva Adams, Of
Colorado, told the president that while
the industry in his state could stand
a reduction to l cent pound as now
provided in the tariff bill the know
ledge that sugar would be free at the
end of three years would have de-
pressing effect on business during
that period.
Robert Ewing. democratic national
committeeman from Louisiana, dis
cussed the question with the president
and took the same position as former
Governor Adams. He went away with
the impression that the president was
still carefully considering that fea-
ture of the bill.
Senator Thomas, of the finance
committee, discussed the tariff briefly
with the president.
President Wilson took under con-
sideration today for diplomatic
place, DR.. B. L. Jefferson, of Colorado,
presented by Senator Thomas. Some
nominations may be sent to the sen
ate on Monday.
Representative Levy urged the
president to favor postponing the date
for the beginning of collections un-
der the income tax bill until "a year
after the tariff went into effect.
The president got through his list
of callers in quick time and went into
conference with his cabinet.

PROTECT OUR WOMEN

While 1t may be looked on as Joke by many, who are not disposed to take the police strike seriously. Pine Bluff faces a most critical situa- tlon just now in the absence of any patrolmen and detectives. The wom en residents of the city are not safe and business houses of the city are at the mercy of burglars.
 Many ladies are compelled to re- main in their homes unprotected be- cause business often takes men down. town at nights and no few of them are forced to be out of the city. It is natural for most women to be nervous when alone and especially when they know that policemen can- not be called promptly in case of a visit of a midnight maraduer
 The council should consider the women of our city, even if it is not inclined to listen to the appeal of the patrolmen for higher wages or more prompt redemption of their time warrants.
 If the present uncertain conditions here are not remedied general in vasiQn of experienced thieves will result and. there will be many homes and business houses robbed and probably fatalities will result. Chief Stewart and Assistant Chief Fiveash are among the most efficient in the state. but it is a physical impossibi- lity for these two men, unaided, to patrol the city as it should be and protect homes and other property as has been the custom here for months The women of the city should in- sist on protection. They cannot well afford to remain ill their homes un- protected and some definite action
 should be taken at once to insure their safety i 45as 5s - rS5' es.

which practically prevented the English from invading the territory embraced in these states. A dele gation was also present from Louisi- ana, where the last battle of the war of 1912 was fought.
 Most of the delegates from the lake states and Rhode Island had made the journey to Put-ln-Bay by boat over the Great Lakes. The del egations included Governors and their staffs, State officials, Members of the House of Representatives and other distinguished citizens

plane flights completed the enter tainment this afternoon. Tonight a fireworks display, one of the largest ever seen in this section of the coun- try will be given.
 The first steps toward the centen-
 nial celebration of the battle of
 Lake Erie, were taken by Ohio, with
 in whose borders the battle was fought, and where the officers kill ed in the battle, both English and
 American are buried. On June 1908 Governor A. P. Harris by authority
 pointed five commissioners to pre-
 pare and carry out the plans for the
 celebration and to invite the co-opera-
 tion of Kentucky and Rhode Island Within two years eight states had | joined the movement and appointed | commissioners. These were Pennsyl- vania. Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, l New York, Rhode Island, Kentucky l and Minnesota. Later Indiana and l-ouiSldHd JOlHcu III tue ulOSeHcHt. During the annual celebration of l the victory ill 1910 the Interstate
 board of Perry's victory centennial
 commissioners was organized at Put 1 inlay and has continued in charge
 as the governing board. President
 Taft also appointed three commits
 sioners to represent the national gov i ernment. These were Gen. Nelson A.
 Miles. U. s. A., retired; Rear Admiral 1 Charles c. Clark, U. s. N., retired,
 and General J. Warren Keller, of Ohio. It was decided that an appro- priate memorial commemorative of /! the battle should be built The site | selected was Little Bass Island di- ! rectly facing Put-In-Bay in Lake Erie l ouFrteeh acres on a narrow strip of I land were reserved. The reservation 1 has 140O feet of water front on both ] sides and overlooks the bay which gave shelter to Perry's fleet before ] the battle. Opposite is Gibralter
 Rock, from which Perry made obser- l vations and farther out is Ballast ls-
 land, where several tons of rock were l taken aboard each ship for ballast. This memorial is now nearing con-
 pletion. It will have cost S700,000
 when it is finished. The character of
 the design is Doric Column, 330 feet
 high on which a light to aid naviga-
 tion is to be placed. The diameter of
 tho column at the base is 45 feet and
 8 feet at the top. In addition there
 525 feet long and about 100 feet wide
 At the left of the plaza is white | marble building containing 5000
 square feet of floor space which will 1 be used as historical museum and at 1 the right is a structure of columns
 commemorative of 100 years peace 1 between Great Britain and the United | States.
 Perry's original flagship, the Mia
 gara, which was raised from Misery l Bay near Erie, Pa, this spring, and
 which has made the rounds of the various lake ports this summer, has
 been at Put-In-Bay for a few weeks | and has proved an attraction of great historical interest. The Niagara will | be taken to Cleveland for the Perry celebration there, which begins next
 Monday.

The recent supreme court decision. confirming rights states fntr3state rates. will prob ably re<oIuouize the of making those The power do will probably be surrendered by legislatures railroad commissions that the statutes will longer contain reference freights and fares. This of legislation has always been attended by pulling and hauling. sometimes by cor lupton. and has generally been followed by Htiga- tion. The decision leaves rate-naI5ine lIex too delicate legislatures though 1t simp- lies the relation between the people and the rail- roads.
 In the first place. the legislator necessarily goes at the rate-maBing business blindly. unless he is under the control the roads. which he knows what he is doing. But, years Iegis- Istures have generally acted independently of the roads. if they have not been actually antagonistc to them.
