Car, Dynamite Laden, Strikes Pole
 Victims Are Mexican Villagers.

Mexico City, Aug. l9.-Tt is esti- mated that loo persons were killed and almost as many injured early this morning when a car loaded with dynamite ran wild down the hill from the powder works at Santa Fe, jumped the track and dashed into a trolley pole in the su- burb of Tacubaya and exploded
 The earth for miles around lrem- bIed and great damage was done to property. Within a radius of 800 feet from the scene of the explosion every house was demolished, while further away in the village and in the adjoining town of San Pedro many fine residences were badly damaged and their interior fur nishings ruined.
 Numerous Americans and other foreigners reside in Tacubaya and San Pedro, but none of them are re- ported 10 have been injured.

VISITING BALL PLAYERS 0. k.

 Were Good Sports in Defeat.

The Nashville baseball team, which played four games al the Fair in Mena last week, certainly were an exceptionally fine collec- ton of young men, and the people .or Nashville, whom they represent. may we'll be proud of them, both as men and ball players. Out of lhe game they were quieL gentle manly fellows. and on the diamond they played the game for all they had in them from start lO finish. avoided any semblance of Wrang- ling or rOWdyism, were modest in success and downright good sports in defeat. They were a credit to their uniforms. While not detract- | ing anything from the fine game put up by the Mena team, it is per haps only fair to concede that the visitors were somewhat handicap
 ped by the strange and not too
 smooth grounds. The uneven grounds also had something to do
 with the large number of runs re-
 corded in the four games. Mena I3i Nashville 26. but downright good
 batting was a big feature

Emperor William Can't Follow BrN N- ans Grape Juice Lead. but Will
 Seek LemOnade'S ENhilaratiOn.

Berlin, Aug. 23.-Emperor Will liam is reported to have joined the ranks of teetotalers. II is known that during his recent northern cruise the emperor abandoned use of practically all of alcoholic bev- erages. and il is understood he has permanently foresWorn even the faDherlands favoritc beer and its choicest wines. As a substitute he has taken to lemonade with a dash .of orange juice
 In imperial circles it has long been known that Emperor William was greatly impressed with a sta tistical study of the effects of alco- hoI ranging from indictment of crime to impairment of a mans working efficiency. He often ex- pressed the opinion to members of his courts that immodcrate drink ing was one of the greatest factors in retarding the development of na- lions, and while he was swearing in naval recruits at Wilhelmshaven recently he took occasion to deliver a lecture on temperance. He also recently told army officers that he would be well pleased if toasts to his health were drunk in water.

Asking that the railroads be re- quested to abolish the practice of charging a fare of three cents per mile on roads Una. operate in ad- joining states that have a two-cent fare, is he object of numerous pe- litons being circulated among the travelling public by commercial men.
 w. B. Wade a salesman out of St. Louis, was in Mena today, and reports that thousands of names have been secured to the petition. which will be sent to the Interstate Commerce Commission al Wash- ington.
 over eighly-fve per cent of those travelling from Arkansas to Oklahoma purchase their tickets to the nearest town on the state line. then pay cash fare the rest of their iourney,' said a local railroad man. The railroads do not reap any benefit from attempting to charge three cents on alleged interstate business, and it is only a matter of small inconvenience for the travel ing public 10 evade it. The roads will save time and money by mak- ing it strictly a tWo-cent rate. and ] understand there will shortly be issued bulletins by the various rail- roads voluntarily making inc change"

Jesse Hays Boys Covered Them selves With Glory in Winning 3 of Contests With Nash
 Ville's Strong Team.
Mena 9, Nashville :.


 That is the shortest way to tell of the third victory of Jesse Hays ball players over the Nashville club, which, prior to coming to Mena's fair, had lost but out of 3i games, and much of the time contending with the fastest ball teams of the state. The victory is all the more notable for the fact that three of the home team, Hen derson Jackson, lst base; Clifton Hay, center field, and Don Clement, left field. are youngsters from NenaS high school, while Dale Cunningham. who pitched such a fine game on the third day, had not played before during this season. The balance of the team, Jesse Hay, Had DpLon-y. Burt Keller, Dennis Wade and Ira Wade. had been in inc game and were ripe for the work
 The games were all the more in- DprrSDiu- because a large percent of the runs were of the earned Na- rioly. made on Well-placed hits and clever playing, and not on errors.
 The public is much indebted lC Jesse Hay and Gus Powers, who handled ,he baseball feature, for the success If the Mena team anC lhn games generally.

ROADS ASK FOR
 HIGHER RATES
Five Railroads Have Made Applica- cation to Railroad Commission er-BuSineSS Men of the
 State Will Contest.

Ft. Smith, Aug. 22-The Kansas City Southern railway the Frisco, Iron Mountain, Rock Island and Cotton Belt have applied to the Ar kansas railroad commission to have standard freight distance tariff No. 3 revised. This action is the result of a request to the commits sion in July, when the present rates were ruled lawful and legitimate by the Supreme court of the United States. They have prepared a pro- posed rate, and in some cases a re- classification, 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 suitable to conditions a few years ago, but that it is now too low to enable them to make a profit as freight carrier be- tween interstate points. It IS upon this basis, it is said, they expect to try to induce the commission to is- sue new tariff authorizing high CT rate on single or joint ship mentS.
 Should the railroad commission comply with the wishes of the pe- titioners and revise the freight rates, the business men of the state will contest. Arkansas has tried a number of freight distance tariffs during the last five years because of various contests in the higher courts.
 The petition is as follows:
 The carriers, parties to the rail- road commission of Arkansas stan dard freight distance tariff No. 8, hereby petition the railroad com mission of Arkansas for authority to modify standard freight distance tariff No. 3 by revising the rates, de- scriptions and minimum weights on various commodities as hereinafter specifically shown in statements of rates attached to thi, petition and made a part hereof.
 "Thesc carriers request that the commission call a public hearing or hearings as prescribed by law, to give this petition early considera- ton. at which time the carriers will be prepared 10 present to the com mission facts and arguments in support of the changes requested herein"

RELIGION INTO THE
 SULzER-CLYNN CASE
President of State Civic League Charges All Sorts of Crimes Against Murphy and Tam
 many Legislators.

Albany, N. r., Aug. 23.-The is sue of religion was brought into the Sulzer-Glynn conflict over the governorship today, causing one oi the greatest sensations that has de- veloped since William Sulzer was impeached and Martin H. Glynr claimed the title of acting governor
 There is wrath in the Glynn camp as a result. The issue was raised by Rev. o. R. Miller, presi- dent of the State Civic League, who IS supporting Sulzer and charging all sorts of crimes against Charles F. Murphy and Tammany legisla- tors. The injection of religion into the battle was denounced tonight by the followers of Glynn as the most dastardly outrage that the sup porlers of Sulzer have yet perpe- lrated.'
 The issue was raised through the medium of a pamphlet, bundles of which were laid on the press table at the executive chamber today.
 One extract follows:
 Many persons think that the real cause of the present SulZer- Murphy fight in this state is not political, but religious: that it is not political graft but religious bigotry that Is al the bottom of this whole trouble. Governor Sulzer is a Presbyterian; Lieutenant Governor Glynn is a Ro- man Catholic. Whether just or not, the people of this state in the past have said by their voice that they did not want a Roman Catholic for governor.
 Catholics Opposed Sulzer.
 Many persons think that in the present situation in this state they s.. Inc fine hand of Jesuits deter- m.led lo make one Roman Catholic governor of this state, even if they qus mpeach illegally and brutally .he -1Noruor out of office, Pro ta..au0 governor in order to put in oHh0'e. The Je-uitS have made lrullp in line politics of every country in the world where they have gone. They have been eXpell- sd a different times from almost every country in Europe because of thpir reasonable interference with politics and with their attempts 10 overt broW the government. Are they beginning here?
 -We do moi identify the Jesuits with lhp Roman Catholics any more shan we identify the Democratic party with lhe Tammany organiza- liou But all Tammany men are Democrats and all Jesuits are Ro- man Catholics. But thousands of Democrats denounte the base meth odS of lammany and thousands of Roman Catholics denounce the ireasouabIe methods of fine JeSuils.
 q, is an interesting fact how eyer. that about threo-fourihs of those assemblymcn who voted to mpeach Governor Sulzer are Cath- plies. and about threo-fourths of .hose who voted against impeach- meut are Protestants.'
 Blame "SulZcr'S BackcrS.'
 When a copy of the pamphlet was shown 10 Sulzer he said he haC never seen it before and had nc knowledge of il. Glynn was angry when it was shown to him and wa, about to issue a reply, but recon sidered.
