Little Rock, Dec. 1S.-@An unexpect- ed development in state politics was the resignation Wednesday afternoon of Henry c. Mccain as Deputy State Auditor and Insurance Commissioner, effective at once. Auditor Coffman had had no intimation of his inten- tion until the resignation was hand ed him.
 But this was not the greatest sur prise, which followed when Mr. Me Cain announced that he is a candi- date for State Auditor and Insurance Commissioner to succeed L. L. Golf man, holding the office by appointment of the governor to succeed John M. Oathout, deceaased. Mir. Coffman is also a candidate for the office, and un- til the entry of MT.

EMBRYO ORDINANCE
BROUGHT INTO PLAY
Designed to Limit Excavation for
Area Ways

An Injunction suit was brought in
the superior court yesterday by the
city of Phoenix against Charles Kor-
rick to prevent further alleged en-
crcachment upon the city streets at
The corner Of Washington and First
streets where the new korrick build
ing is under construction. 1t Is set
forth in the complaint that there is
a city ordinance which fOrbids that
an excavation for the basement of q
building shall extend beyond a line
three feet from the inner curb line
Between such line and the build
Ing line the owner may have use Of
tho space under the sidewalk
1t is charged in the complaint that
the owner in this case had carried
the excavation to the inner curb line
and that on the First street side had
begun the erection of u retaining wall
on thtc inner curb line so that Il
hydrant ana an electric light standard
are really within the excavation.
1t is contended that the city needs
this three foot space for the laying
o. conduits to electric light standards
and for other purposes. The petition
also asks that the defendant be com
PEELED to remove so much Of the re
taining wall as has already been
built. Judge Phillips issued an in
junction to remain in force until d
further order of the court
The raining wall on the First
street side is built Of concrete and
has been carried about halfway to
the street level.
As matter of fact, there is no
such ordinance as that described in
the complaint but one has been pre-
pared and is pending 1t win be
brought up at the next meeting of
the council. Meantime, the CITY
building inspector has been directed
to take steps to prevent such ex-
cavatiOns to the curb line
In nearly all the buildings whore
there are area ways the excavation
has been carried to the curb line
That is the case with the Hotel Adj
ans, the Doris Heyman building. the
Fleming block and the Goodrich
building. The excavation of the
Pratt-Gilbert building was being
made to the curb line but the work

RULES INDICATE The
DECISION OF UMPIRE
Franz Shown to be Dead Right When
he Sent Schultz Back to Second
on Smiths Hit Yesterday.

For the information of the scores OF
fans who came out of their trance yes
terday with a puzzled look and feel
ing that on general principles, at least
Irmpire Franz ought to be severely
censured for some of his decision, The
Republican prints the following from
the rules of Messrs. Spalding and
Reach
Rule "a. The base runner shall be
entitled without liability to be put out
TO advance a base in the following
cases: Section /. or if a fair hit
ball strike the person or clothing Of
the umpire
Rule So The base runner shall re-
turn to his base without liability to be
put out: Section 6: If the umpire be
struck by a batted ball before touch
ing a fielder: in which case no base
shall be run unless necessitated by the
batsman becoming a base runner, and
no run shall be scored unless all bases
are occupied
That will explain Franz's sending
Schultz back to second when Smiths
fair hit ball collided with the official
right leg.
Be it understood, Franz was well
supported by the rules in each and
every decision he has made so far
Considering the troubles that swept
down on "Salome" yesterday no one
could question his right to be little
off on balls and strikes for the infor-
nation that came from his home was
enough to distract any mans attention.
Franz received word Of the serious ILL
ness of his mother yesterday and only
worked because Manager Billy Craw-
ford Of FL Paso 50 earnestly requested
it, and Manager Yates of Phoenix
stood by him. FL Paso players say that
the work of the long jawed Phoenician
is the best they have struck on the
entire circuit.

CHEAPEST AND BEST
COVERING OF FLOORS
The Increasing Use of Indian
Blankets for This Purpose.

If people only knew how much SUI
perior as floor covering a Navajo
blanket is over carpet or a manu-

would be used by those VINO care

would be found cheaper and there

connection, it should be stated that
the blankets would have to be genu-
inc. made of native Indian wool and
eolored with native vegetable dyes;
in fact they should be such blankets
as are sold at Balke's Big Curio
store.
Householders are finding this out

creasing as the sales records of the

INDEX Of INCREASE
OF POPULATION
What Distribution of Free Text
Books Has Disclosed.

The remarkable increase of the
population of this valley within the
last year has been brought more
fOrcibIy to the attention of County
School Superintendent higgins than
any other man. 1t has been revealed
TO him in the course of the distri-
button of free text books.
In securing text books for the
schools of the county it was esti-
mated that there would be about Il
ten per cent increase in the school
attendance. In not a single instance
have there been enough books In
every district the attendance had in
creased by much more than ten per
cent In many of them the increase
was twenty per cent and in some
instances, thirty per cent. There was
a reserve supply of five per cent
but those books are now going out
rapidly.
The superintendent has been max
ing a hurried tour of the schools,
giving attention first to those schools
that have new teachers. He finds
that in many of the schools there
have been no means taken for safe
guarding the books They have not
been labeled, the names of the pupils
to which they have been assigned
have not been written in them and
no record has been made of them.
The permit question, the superin-
tendent said. is adjusting itself. The
trustees of some of the districts re-
fused permits 70 pupils Of those dis
tricts to attend other schools As
matter of fact they could not pre-
vent them from attending those
schools but without the permit they
would have to pay tuition while
their own districts would draw per
capita money for them.
In many cases il is much more
convenient for Il pupil to attend an
outside school: it may be nearer.
The superintendent has pointed out
to trustees that there will be plenty
of money for the conduct OF their
school even if they should not draw
the full per capita.
