LITTLE t0CK,bACK
 |NS0UIHfRN LEAGUE
CITY IS BASEBALL CRAZY
BIG CELEBRATION OF REIN TRANCE TO BE HAD ON
 THURSDAY NIGHT.

Little Rock, Nov. 9.-Robert J. AL len, or known better from coast to coast as Bob Allen, is hero of the fall season in Little Rock, for he has ac- |complished the remarkable feat of putting the City of Roses back into the Southern League, and Little Rock baseball fans are now arranging for betitting celebration to be held next Thursday evening at the Hotel Ma rion. A public dinner will be given, at which Bob Allen will be Little Rocks guest of honor. He will be ex- pected to let the fans into the system used in bringing Southern League baseball back to Little Rock, and will be asked to exhibit the papers which show the transfer of the Montgomery franchise to this city.
 To about half dozen men in Little Rock, the question of the transfer of the franchise has been only matter of waiting until the meeting of the Southern Association to ratify the sale and removal of the franchise. The papers were all properly filed and in the pocket of Mr. Allen for week before the meeting in Birming- ham Saturday, where the deal was consummated by the approval of the league. It was difficult for those on the inside to keep the good news to themselves, for they wanted all the fans to know of Little Rocks good luck. But secrecy was necessary, for Richard Tilhs of Montgomery, for mer owner of the franchise, threaten ed to throw legal complications in the way, and had he known the extent of the negotiations he would have block led the deal
 Immediately after the meeting President w. NJ. Kavanaugh of the Southern Association was accompa- nied by Bob Allen, the Little Rock

Congressional Election in,
Seventh Cost About $4,000
IsneciaI to the evening start


PATTERSON, April 13.-The cost of
the recent special election in the Sew
enth Congressional district will be
somewhere In the vicinity of $4,000.
County Collector John La Conklin
will soon distribute $20,5 66 to pay the
four election officers and owners of
the polling booths in each of the 1l3
districts for registry, primary and
election days Other expenses in
Guiding the printing and mailing of
ballots, will make up the difference.
Had the death of Congressman
Bremner, which made the special
election necessary. occurred within
two months of the general election
day in November, no special election
would have had to be called. Under
the law, the expense and trouble to
which candidates were put, as well as
the expense to the taxpayers could
not be avoided, despite the fact that
Dow H. Drukker, who was chosen for
the unexpired term, will serve only
until March 3, 1915, and at the gen.
eral election next November. either
he VIII be reelected, of a successor
to him chosen.
