Last Year For sWriters"

New York, Oct. 4.-Chairman
August Hermann, of the National
Baseball Commission, today declared
that any player eligible for the world
series, which starts here next Tues
day, who had made contract with
newspapers or PERIODICALS to furnish
stories of the games would be allow
ed to do so. The Commission ruling
against this procedure, said Herr
mann, should be interpreted with
common sense.
''Last week at meeting OF the
Managing Editors Association in Gin
cinnati, l appeared before them and
explained the Commissions attitude
regarding this matter" said the base
bal magnate. They all agreed that
the stand of the National Commits
sion was a just one, and assured me
that after this year no player in the
coatending clubs-in fact, no player
at all-would be hired by them to
write world series stories

THE TENTATIVE PLANS
National Committeeman IL. l.. REM
mel Tells Williams Barnes Pro-
posed Change is Outrage.

Washington. Oct 4.-Details of the
tentative plans suggested by the na-
tonal Republican congressional com
mittee for changes in the apportion-
ment of delegates to the national con
vention have been made public. The
first plan provides that each State
have four delegates at large and one
delegate for each congressional dis
trict where the vote in 1908 was not
more than 40 per cent of the total
vote for presidential electors; two
delegates if the vote was from 40 to
60 per cent, and three delegates
where it was more than 60 per cent
The second plan would give each
State four delegates at large and one
delegate for each ten thousand votes
or majority fraction thereof cast for
the Republican candidate for presi-
dental electors in 1908.
The third plan is just the same as
the preceding, except that each con-
gressional district shall have at least
one delegate and there shall be two
for each congressman at large.

THOUSANDS WOULD
SEE WORLD Series
Unable to Accommodate the
Many Who Send Cash
For Seats.
TO RETURN FORTUNE
Teams Evenly Matched.-Giants Have
Pitchers and Athletics
Hitters.

New York, Oct. 4.-There have
been received at the offices of the
New York Club more than 10000 ap-
plications for the eight thousand
available reserved seats for the
worlds series games. This number
is outside and in addition to the
number that were allotted to various
club magnates. players and league Of
ficials. The seats are priced at SO
each per game, or a total of $4,000
for the reserved seats for the three
game series.
1t was learned that $4,000 had
been received in cash and certified
checks from anxious fans asking for
reserved seats at games here. Checks
and cash continued to pour in today
and it is expected that at least 1920
900 will have to be returned by the
New York Club.
Notice that every reserved seat had
already been disposed of was made
before noon today by John B. Foster
secretary Of the New York Club.
The record freak bet was placed
here today when a fan posted S. at
even money that Baker does not make
a home run in any game of the series
While experts the country over have
dissected the two teams and by
method of analysis have arrived at
the conclusion that Their 4cshofce viii
be returned winner, the general dope
will tend to show that the Giants
and Athletics are evenly matched,
the former excelling in the, pitching
department and the latter being
equally superior in batting.
The Athletics have grand batting
average of .279, ten full points above
that of the Clans. On the other hand
the Athletic pitc:icrs were found for
1,O35 hits and gave 44S bases Oh
balls, while the Giant twirlers gave
only 29S free passes and allowed
1898 hits.
The Giants fielding percentage is
1851 to 1854 for their opponents.

ANOTHER BODY Is
FOtND IN WRECK.

A rumor which could not be verifl-
ed was in circulation yesterday
afternoon among the railroad men
in this city that another body had
been found under the wreck at
Stephens at an early hour yesterday
morning. The wrecking crews. who
have worked continually at the
scene since Thursday night, manag-
ed to clear the track sufficiently to
permit the passage of trains at an
early hour Saturday morning. Much
of the debris was buried deep in
the soft earth at the point where the
two large engines hit 'head-on,' and
it is rumored that deep, under the
wreckage the mangled remains OF a
man was found. As all the members
Of the Two crews are accounted for,
1t is believed that If a body was
found, it must be that of q poor M
fortunate, who was stealing a ride.

A Few Words From Him
Changes Sentiment Over
Night in Senate.
THREATENED "VETO"
House Planned to Abolish Offices of
Judges With That OF Conn
merce Court.

New York, Oct. At was reported
ia few vOP ds Nv srs ftr
the ears of certain Democratic sena-
tors by President Wilson at the
White House last night which brought
about a change of sentiment in the
Senate and saved the judges of the
Commerce Court from being legislated
out of office 1t is said that the presi-
dent has strongly intimated that II
the House provision in the urgent de-
ficiency bill were adopted he would
feel inclined to veto the bill.
When the Senate met today the OPP
position of Senator Hoke Smith and
others had melted away over night
and the Walsh amendment was agreed
to without roll call, the bill adopted
and sent TO conference.
The House provision not only abol.
ished the commerce court, but legis-
lated out of office the additional cir
cult judges created by the same act
The most determined opponent was
Senator Walsh, Democrat, Of Mon
tana, who offered an amendment
agreeing to the abolition of the court,
but declaring that the additional cir
cult judges should be retained in Of
flee, but any vacancy caused by
death, resignation or removal should
not be filled.
The influence of the president and
the sentiment of the Senate Is expect
ed to keep the Walsh amendment con-
corning the additional circuit judges
in the bill, after it comes from con-
ference.

Lawyer Says He Will Reop-
en- His Law Office Here
and Prove Innocence.
HIS WIFE GREETS HIM
Would Not Have Escaped From Offic-
err. He Says, Had He Been
Lenient With Him.

I. F. Long. the lawyer who has been
a prisoner in the county Jail here for
five weeks awaiting trial on charge
of embezzlement, and who outwitted
the county officials recently and was
married to Mis1 Mae Leonard in the
county Jail by Attorney J. M. Shaw.
an ordained minister of the Baptist
church, was released from Jail last
night, after Judge A. B. Grace had re-
duced his bond from $1,000 to $500.
The bond was signed by J. w. Craw-
ford, Judge James Gould and J. H.
Pilkington. HIS wife was at the Jail
door awaiting him when he walked
out.
Long says that he intends to reopen
his law office here Immediately, that
he will remain in Pine Bluff and that
he hopes to prove himself innocent
of the crime with which he is charg-
ed. He declares that he will prove to
the people that he is not as bad as he
has been painted.
The lawyer spoke in the highest
terms of Sheriff Edgar Brewster and
Jailer James Reidinger and said that
they treated him we'll while he was in
their care at the Jail.
II will have lots to say about my
case" said Long at the proper time
IT don't care to give it all publicity at
this time. I would have never run
away from Special Officer Angus Nc
Neill at Stuttgart, while he was bring
ing me here from Charlotte, N. c., had
it not been for the fact that Angus
would not permit me to telegraph
Maurice Reinberger from Memphis to
meet me here, when l arrived. When
we left Charlotte I asked Angus
whom l considered a good friend, not
to place handouts on me. told him
that / would not make any attempt
to leave him. He refused. That made
me sore and when he refused to per-
NIT me to telegraph my Little Rock
friend, that added to my feelings and
made up my mind that would get
away the first opportunity and go tc
Little Rock anyway, see Reinbergel
and then surrender to the officers
again. could have left him al
Brinkley, but waited till I reached
Stuttgart, for Angus was asleep when
we passed through Brinkley."
Long said that he still has the
handouts that he wore and will pro-
duce them at the proper time. He de.
clares that he slipped the cuffs ant
that his statement that a negro hat
filed them off his wrist, which hi
made when rearrested, was only {
misstatement.

Kennel Is Angry.

Little Rock, Oct. 4.-Republican
leaders of Arkansas are up in arms
over the proposed disfranchisement
of the Southern Republicans in the
national conventions. for they insist % U.s.
that that is what it amounts to.
Under the present plan, with the
congressional district as the unit,
and four delegates at large for each
State, Arkansas has eighteen dele
gates in the national convention.
Under the proposed plans for re-
duction of the representation from
the South and corresponding in
crease from the Northern States, it is
said that Arkansas would be reduced
one-third to one-half, and under some
of the plans proposed the State would
be denied any representation aside
from the four delegates at large.
"The proposed change in the basis
of representation is the most stu
pendous outrage that has ever been
attempted to be foisted upon the
Republicans of the South" declared
H. l.. Remmel, national committee
man from Arkansas, to reporter, to-
day, 1--WE have always fought it and
will continue to fight it. was a
member of the committee on rules
in the last convention when the
question was up, and helped defeat 1t
then, and am doing all I can to de-
feat it now"
Correspondence With Barnes.
Mr., Remmel has been in cores
pondence with William Barnes, chair
man of the New York Republican
State committee, regarding the
changes, and has sent to National
Chairman Charles D. Hilles copy
of his letter of protest written u Mr..
Barnes.
Writing to Mr.. Remmel, Barnes en-

ton urging the continuation of the
congressional district as the basis OF

OF l90S.
Barnes writes Il am of the opin-
ion that the Republican party cannot
take the position that it is sectional
party, and that it neither has votes
nor hopes in any congressional dis
riot in the United States. For that
reason insited Oh the retention of
the congressional district as unit"
Mr. Kennel calls attention to the
fact that the elimination of Southern
representation would mean that nine
large Republican States of the East
and Middle West would write the
platform, nominate the candidates,
and practically dominate the party,
and that the other thirty-eight States
would have no voice in party affairs.
Mr.. Kennel reviews the efforts that
have been made to change the basis
Of representation, and shows that the
plans proposed are unjust and H.
logical for the Southern States. He
says:
"My opinion is that we will make
a great mistake by departing from
the time-honored rule which has so
long obtained and which has never
been abused by the delegates from
the Southern States

Goethals Gives Orders.
DYKES WILL BE BLOWN
Dredges Will Put the Finishing
Touches on the JOb.-Earthquake
in the Canal Zone.

Colon, Panama, Oct. 4.-The nine
year work is finished and the Panama
canal is today practically completed.
At a signal from Colonel Goethals to-
morrow the waters of the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans will be joined by
means of four huge pipes passing
through the. Gamboa dyke, which
stands between the Gatun Lake and
the Culebra cut.
When the water has reached a level
high enough in the Celebrat cut to
form cushion against the explosion
of the many tons of dynamite the
Gamboa dyke will be blown up and
the water allowed to flow through the
Canal, choked only by the various
docks at either end. This is expected
to take place early this week. Dyna-
mite will not be of sufficient strength,
however, to clear away the tons Of
earth and rock composing the Gam
boa DYKE The waters of the two
oceans will play an important part in
this final piece of work which the en-
gineers call "child's play"
When the waters have found it's
way through the dyke the steel mon
sters which have done the actual
digging" of the "big ditch" will be
called upon for their final task and
within a few days all that composed
tthes Gamboa- dyke twill have. been ca
tirely removed from the canal route
The dredges will make "a final trip
through the canal, searching for any
huge rock or mass of earth which
have been overlooked or have slipped
into the canal. BY the time this is
complete, which is expected to be De-
cember 1, the water in Gatun Lake
will have reached the required level
of 81 feet and the canal will be ready
for the passage of the largest ships
afloat. &c
