Of a declaration to the effect that 1--WE
favor the operation Of rock crushcrs
by the State Highway Commission,
at which crushers such state convicts
as are not needed on the state farm
may be used,
Friday afternoon three interyentions
weer filed in Pulaski circui, court in
the case Of the State VS.. State High
way Commission, a suit brought by in
terested parties in the name Of the
state to enjon the operation OF the
crusher. These interventions are by
the directors Of Road Improvement
District No. 2 in Lincoln county, A. J,
Walls, county Judge Of Lonoke county
and Chas. b, Coe county judge OF
Jackson county. Half dozen will
follow of a similar character.
These interventions ask that the
work of crushing rock for the use OF
road builders In the state, commenced
several months ago by the State High
way Commission, be continued. The
following allegations are made:
THAT on account Of the prevailing
high price OF rock prior TO the crea'
tlon OF the State Highway Commission,
and the operation Of a rock Crusher
for the purpose Of furnishing crushed
stone for road purposes, 1t was i'm.
possible to buy said rock and carry on
said improvements az the excessive
price placed thereon by rock crushers
doing business In the state OF Arkan'
sas
"Intervenor further states that prior
to the establishment Of the rock crush.

The various road districts therein were
compelled TO pay to the rock crushers
then In operation their fixed price
ranging from 81 to Si25 per cubic
yard for all rock purchased for the
construction and maintenance OF pub
lie highways in said county for the
construction and maintenance Of cul'
verts and bridges in said county; that
by reason Of such excessive prices said
county and road districts were unable

SALARIES IN ST. LOUIS.
Mound City Ball Players Are Well Paid
For Work.
Photo by American Press Association

Dick Collins, writer on the St
Louis Republic, says that st. Louis
pays more for its ball players and re-
ceives less in return for its money
than any city in the big league class.
Fielder A. Jones. manager Of the St
Louis Feds, assured Collins that Willie
Doak's contract with the Cardinals for
1916 calls for $1,000
Mr.. Jones also vouched for the fact
that Bill james. the leading pitcher Of
the National league. will draw $4,5OO
with the Boston Nationals next year.
Jones also states that Ty Cobb as
sured him that "Stuffy" Mclnnis was
working for less than $1,000 in Phila-
delphia. How and why are Boston
and Philadelphia managers successful
in persuadng good players to work
for less money than the same grade Of
talent would command In the west?
There is some excuse for McInnis
shading in favor Of Connie Mack, an
inveterate pennant winner and worlds
series wizard. but Stallings is just
breaking into the limelight in that re-
spect.
What's the secret Of his hold on the
ball players? How does he get by
with it? "Sky" Britton had an odd
experience along these lines when he
traded Larry Mclean for Doc Gran
dali. Doc objected to the transfer
Britton assured him that st. Louis
would take over his contract with the
Giants. Even that assurance didn't
satisfy Crandall.
"McGraw will get rid Of you sooner
or later" said Britton. You're mark
ed for slaughter. Why hang around
till they guillotine youY"
Upon investigating Britton learned
that Crandall was earning $1,000 per
annum with the Giants. The Cards
pay that kind d money to their second
string men. The prospect of figuring
In the worlds series Is the magnet that
enables McGraw and Mack to round
up their players so easily and cheaply.
