MODESTY WAVE
 SWEEPS ST. LOUIS
Nude Pictures and Statues Have to
 Be Garbed Under the Law.

St. Louis, Mo-, Aug. 22.-Little old St. Louis today is engulfed to the neck in a wave of modesty. Ordered to display no paintings, pictures or statues in the nude, proprietors and managers of cafes and restaurants have dressed them, and wierd sights meet the eye of the patron of these places.
 In one downtown cafe Venus wears pair of diaphanous trouserettes, and the Lady with the Goose is garb- ed in a slit skirt, the slit extending periously close to the Lady's neck. In another cafe where the proprietor boasted really handsome group de- picting Pan piping to a bevy of alto gether" woodland nymphs, Pan has been forced to don a specially made pair of overhauls and the girls are dressed up in pajamas, nighties and mother hubbards. 'The Sleeping Beauty" who has for years repose- fully slumbered on slab in another cafe unclothed, now wears a made-to- order policeman's uniform. The pro- prietor said he could think no more fitting garb for a sleeping figure
 Still another cafe manager in whose place was bronz figure talk en from the now famous September Morn," has dressed the figure up in short white linen garment that comes in pairs. A statue of Ba- chante, the original of which was re- fused by the Puritanically inclined of Boston, and now disports herself in the Metropolitan of New York now wears complete motoring out fit including goggles and veil. The infant she holds in her arm wears that one garment which has come to be badge of babyhood.

FOOTBALL PROSPECTS
 ARE VERY BRIGHT
ARKANSAS UNIVERSITY TEAM OF THE COMING SEASON TO BE
 THE HEAVIEST YET.
Russell May, Captain, Gives Out Schedule of Games to Be
 Played.

Fayetteville, Aug. 22.-Russell May, of Little Rock, captain of the Univer- sity of Arkansas football team for the season of 1913, who has been visiting in Fayetteville for few days, reports that the prospects for good team were never brighter. At least eight of the men who made their university letter last year will return this fall. These men are Poff, May, J. F. Reed. Huntley, Rudd, G. Reed, Harb and Nichols.
 In addition two stars of the 1911 team who spent last year in teaching will be back. One of these is big Dan Estes, the giant who was such a terror to all southern teams during the three years that he played at the university. Estes will be senior in the department of civil engineering. The other is Turner, a 210-pound end and tackle, who has ill him the mak- ing of another Estes.
 L0St lcdI utu NVuIuSs
 In addition the following men from last years squad are sure to be here: Bryan, Dubs, Greig, Milwce and Smead A number of other men from the 1912 squad will probably be on hand when college opens.
 Quite number of these mon are unusually heavy and it sems probable now that the university will have the heaviest team that it has ever had. Several of the high school teams in 1912 developed some unusually good men and quite a number of these will enter the university. Some of them will probably make the fight for places interesting, and the lineup may show some of the "A't men on the side lines when the firSn game begins. Captain May expects to play at full back. His former position was half back, but his weight has increased to such an extent that he can do more effective work as a line-plunging full back. The fight for position of quar- terback should be a pretty one be- tween Nichols. Milwee. Murrey and some of the new men from the high schools.
 Schedule of Games.
 The schedule of games while not as difficult as that of last year is strong and yet a we'll balanced one. The list of games follows: October 3Henderson College at Fayetteville.

HIGHER RATES ARE
 ASKED BY RAILWAYS
Five Lines Request Upward Revision
 of Freight Distance Tariff.

Lltlle hOCk, Aug. ll.-FlVe OI the railroad companies doing business in Arkansas have applied to the Arkan- sas Railroad Commission to have Standard Freight Distance Tariff No. 5 revised. This action is the result of a request to the commission in .Ju- ly, when the present rates were ruled lawful and legitimate by the supreme court of the United States. They have prepared proposed rate, and in some cases reclassification, which will bring the charges to a higher basis so far as the business men of the state are concerned. It is asserted by the roads that the present rate compiled by the commission was suit able to conditions a few years ago, but that it is now too low to enable them to make profit as freight car riers between interstate points. It is upon this basis, it is said they ex- pect to try to induce the commission to issue new tariff authorizing a higher rate on single or joint ship mcnts.
 Contest is Promised.
 Should the Railroad Commission comply. with tie wishes of the, peti- tioners and revise the freight distance tariff upward, it is believed the busi- ness men of the state will contest. Arkansas has tried number of freight distance tariffs during the last five years, because of various con- tests in the higher courts.
 Following is a copy of the petition mailed w. E. Floyd, secretary of the Railroad Commission of Arkansas, on August IS:
 Dear Sir: The carriers parties to the Railroad Commission of Arkansas Standard Freight Distance Tariff No. hereby petition the Railroad Com mission of Arkansas for authority to modify Standard Freight Distance Tariff No. 8 by revising the rates, de- scriptions and minimum weights on various commodities as hereinafter specifically shown in statements of rates attached to this petition and made a part hereof.
 Request Meeting.
 "These carriers request that the commission call public hearing or hearings, as prescribed by law, to give this petition early consideration, at which time the carriers will be pre- pared to present to the commission facts and arguments in support of the changes requested herein.
 "Yours truly.
 "J. D. Watson, assistant general freight agent of the St. Louis South western railway
 "F. o. Reilly, assistant freight traffic manager of the St. Louis and San Francisco railway.
 "E. H. Calef, general freight agent for the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern railway.
 "R. R. Mitchell, general freight agent for the Kansas City Southern railway.
 In compliance with the request, the commission will meet again Septem- Der i and consider the petition for the railroads.
