.GR|FFMEN INDIGNANT
OVER BAD UMP|RES
Think Jack Sheridan is "DoWn
On" Them for Some Reason
and Acts Accordingly.
By THOMAS KIRBY.

BOSTON, Mass. June There is
no end of indignation among the
| Griffmen as to the officiating here
during the present series. For some
reason that has as yet to be explained,
the team feels that Jack Sheridan Is
''on It" and will not overlook any op-
portunity TO wreak vengeance upon the
Capital players.
While the Washington players have
been among the widest. in the matter
of shouting encouragement and fighting
II to the very limit, the oldest OF Ban
Johnson's umpires has apparently
settled in his mind a plan to put an end
TO these exercises by stopping the play
ers at every opportunity. II was
noticeable on Friday, but the limit was
reached on Saturday, when the slightest
whisper was apparently good grounds
for the banishment OF the man who in
CURED the wrath of the arbiter.
Reports from the West were anything
but favorable about Chill, but in the
present instance II seems to be Sheridan
who has mapped out his campaign OF
shifting the ambition OF the Griffithians
In order to avert all possible handicap
Griffith today told his henchmen at the
morning meeting to be careful. and as
a result II Is not expected that there
will be further complaints against the
decisions of the representatives of the
head of the league.
1t develops that during his numer-
GUS unsuccessful attempts to get across
the plate. Gandil spiked Bill Carrigan
moro severely than was at first sup
posed yesterday. According to the
trainer today. the Red Sox manager is
likely to spend several more days in
rest before he is able to go behind
the bat. leaving II up to Thomas to
do most of the receiving.
Few OF the Nationals remained in
Boston yesterday Afternoon. Motor car
parties took many of the athletes to
Providence TO root for Bill Donovan's
team against Baltimore in the Interna-
tlonal League and the remainder of
the squad went to Revere Beach for
the Off day.
Chick Gandil has not heard of any re-
port as to his suspension and. while he
IS trying TO appear optimistic, evidently
feels that there is still an excellent
chance of his being set back.
Charley Cox. the graduate manager
Percy Given, Joe Curran, and Jim Tee
van made up a Georgetown delegation
that called upon Griffith & Co. yester-
day to express confidence and hope for
the best.

PLAN STORES FOR SELLING OF
FOOD AT COST PRICES

FOOD AT COST PRICES
City stores selling groceries and
meats at cost prices will be consld-
cred by the municipal markets COM
mission this week at a joint meeting
with the unemployed commission, &C
cording to Aid. Jas. H. Lawley.
Next winter such stores may be
needed to cut down distress caused
by lay-offs of workmen in shops and
by war prices for food caused by big
shipments of foodstuffs from the
United States to Europe. This is the
flew of Aid. Merriam, and his reso-
luton passed by the council calls for
efforts by the markets commission to
head off restitution.
Some members of the markets
commission and of the city council
are impatient at the delay in action.
They now point to New York, where
announcement is made that money
has been appropriated and four city
markets will be in full swing of oper-
alton Sept. 1.
Fred a Curtis of the markets COM
mission said today the only thing
needed is action.
Enough money to start either re-
tail stores or markets where farm
ers can come in and locate in stalls
and sell stuff without middlemen is
available now" said Curtis, Gin the
$24,800 cash in thespossession of the
unemployed commission. This money
was appropriated to that commission
for the express purpose of starting
city commissaries to relieve distress
among the unemployed last winter.
"Out of $4,000 at the commits
sion's disposal, only 5000 was used in
operating the store at Halsted and
Sixty-third streets. Nothing but a
willingness to pitch in and tackle the
job is needed at this time. Definite
plans has been worked out in the re-.
ports of the markets commission"

trance gave George Thornburgh, J.

ton of the city was the only nature
of testimony they introduced.
PrOhibitiOnists Begin Fight
On the other hand, the prohibitions
lists are equally as confident and this
afternoon began a hard fight to dis
prove the claim of the saloon men
that the pertition carries sufficient
names legally procured.
The first witness was County Clerk
Turner, who read from the court rec
ords. His records showed that at
the last general election the county
went wet" by a majority of 1896
and the city by a majority of 1903.
To bring out the white adult male
population of the city poll tax sta
tistics were read. For 1912 the
records showed that $3.50 white
males paid poll tax in Little Rock, or
about 81 per cent of the number
assessed. The number assessed last
year and part of which have paid
was 11,023. Deputy Sheriff Taylor
was then sworn, testifying to the
methods of procedure used in assess
ing the poll tax and collecting the
same.
A. C. Read ON the Stand.
A. c.. Read, a real estate man, was
the next witness. Testifying as to
the population Of Pulaski Heights he
said that it now had population of
approximately $500 and that fully 95
yer cent of this number had moved to
Pulaski Heights from Little Rock.
His evidence was introduced by
Colonel Terry as part of a chain of
evidence that will tend to disaprove
an increase in the Little Rock popu-
lation.
That the recent crusade of the
city officials against the red light
district drove 10 white residents
from the city was the substance of
the testimony of G.. M. Walser, Unit
cd States white slave officer. These
10 residents of that district left Lit
tie Rock on or be fore August 25,
1918 he testified.
County Clerk Turner was again
placed on the stand. The old three
mile petition, which was used in the
fight to eliminate saloons within
three miles of the Tweaty-eighth
street Methodist church, was used. 1t
showed an estimate of $4,000 adults
living in the district, which not only
included Little Rock, but Argenta as
we'll. The records in the hearing Of
The Argenta petition, which was held
last week, then were produced, and
showed Judge Asher's estimate of the
of white adults in that
city as APO.
H. F. Austin, who lives on Pulas-
XII Heights and who is in the real
estate business, corroborated the evil
dence of Mr.. Read as to the popula-
llOu VI uAdohA A1OA6AtO anu AAOAA
whence it came. According to the
government census in 1910 the popu-
lation of Pulaski Heights was 6S7,
and now, he testified, it is estimated
$500. From 80 to IS per cent of
this number formerly resided with
in the corporate limits of Little Rock.
Sc said.
Orders Names Counted.
Attorney Fred Isgrig refused to
take the count Of J. j. Backus, a
saloon man, on the number of names
attached to the petition. AS was
done in the Argenta case, Judge
Asher ordered that the names be
counted by County Clerk Turner,
