LOCAL NIMRODS
GREET THE SNOW
Many Sojourn to Wilderness
but Return With Empty Bags
and Hungry Feeling.

With Illinois hunting grounds COW
cred with light snowfall, local MIN
rods now have their first real chance
of the year to bag the wiry Mr.. Cot
tontail. AS a result Rock Island gun
wielders are making their daily so-
journs into the nearby hunting dis
tricts and returning with empty game
bags as a general rule. Despite the
i'll luck, however, they refuse to take
a pessim 'stic view of the matter as
more snow and better hunting is ex-
pected.
Some few hunters have met with
success in a slight degree, that is If
one pair of the why jumpers can be
called success. Every acre of hunt
ing ground in the vicinity of the tri-
cities has either seen hunter, dog
or gun within the past two days and
fine rabbit dinners have been enjoyed
with everything present except the
rabbit.
AS one hunter puts it, and he prob
ably strikes the nail right on the
head, THE rabbits sensed this bit Oh
a cold SPELL he said, "and have crept
within their burrows until the snow be-
comes more firm. The warm weather
has prevented breeding and the cot
tontails have been fooled into prepar-

Washington, Aug. 20-Reports of decided improvement in the general condition of the country and the finan- cial situation in New York were brought to the treasury department today by J. P. Morgan and W. M Porter member of the Morgan firm Mir. Morgan and Mir. Porter spent nearly two hours in conference With Secretary MeAdoo and members of the federal reserve board.
 Mir. Morgan declined to discuss hts visit and no formal announcement was made of it's purpose. Secretary McAdoo, however, said Mir. Morgan had assured government officials that conditions had shown steady improve ment and that generally the situation was reassuring.
 There was some talk at the confer ence about the present status of iu- ternational exchange and the desire of American bankers and administrator officials to keep American gold here The government will make every cf- fort to aid the bankers and keep American gold in this country.
 There is hope in administration cir cles that it will be only a short time until American shippers can find yes sels to transport grain and other com rodities to Europe. A resumption of traffic across the Atlantic, they De- lieve, quickly will restore balances American bankers owe there and en- able American bankers to satisfy their creditors abroad without gold ship ments.

R. R. COMMISSION
 DECISION TODAY
YESTERDAY IN THIS CITY HEARD ARGUMENTS RELATIVE TO
 VALLEY STREET SWITCH
Left In the Afternoon for Little Rock and Indicated That the Ruling Would
 Be Announced at Little Rock Today

Yesterday the Arkansas Railroad Commission, composed of Messrs. Mcknight, Rowland and Breckenridge. assembled in this city for the purpose oi giving a further hearing on the suo- ject of an order for the removal of the freight spur on Valley street.
 Arguments were made before the commission by City Attorney Me. Lanshlin for the city and by A. J. Murphy for property owners wanting the switch removed, and by l.. E. Saw yc as representating the Wilmington Stearns Company which wants the spur track maintained as 1t is at present.
 There were number of citizens present at the hearing who represant- cd sentiment for the removal of the tracks looking to the improvement of Valley street to the Iron Mountain pas senger station, through paving, and probably the creation of the parkway in the center which some years before had been proposed and plated by Mir. Simon Cooper at his own expense, and which it was thought once would be assured
 It is believed here that two of the commissioners, Messrs Rowland and Breckenridge favor the removal of the spur. Mr. Mcknight is not be- lieved to favor its removal. There is a question as to the right and authority of the railroad commission to make this order of removal but it is believed that this question will be decided il the affirmative, and that the commits sion will today from it's offices in Lit- tle Rock make the announcement AS tc what is to be done in the matter.
 As soon as the order is made, if it is favorable to the removal of the tracks. a movement is to be begun for the purpose of paving the street with wood blocks, so as to make a contin- uatlon of the wood block paving that will soon be laaid on two adjoining blocks of Valley street, and that a.so in this connection a movement will be taken mp to have installed lighting posts similar to those on the govern ment reservation to extend from the passenger station to Bridge street

SHIPS CARRYING
 ONLY LIGHT LOADS
AMERICAN MERCHANTS FEAR THEIR DRAFTS IN PAYMENT
 WILL NOT BE HoNoRED.

New York, Aug. 2O.-Every ship that sails out of New York for Eng fish ports these days sails light, though England is begging for food.
 The Celtic left today with 5000 tons of foodstuffs in her hold when she might have .carried lG,0U0 tons. The Kroonand left the other day with 4 4,500 and room for 5000 more. The Adriatic, St. Paul, New York, Phila- delphia and others of the thirteen ships of the international Mercantile Marine, which have departed for Eng land since the war started, have car red light cargoes. Other lines tell the same story.
 The storage warehouses in and around New York are choked with supplies for which England is offering fancy prices.
 Tine reason none of this food is eoing to England, officials of the transatlantic lines assert, is because American shippers have no assur- aLces that their drafts will be hon ored in England promptly Tons Of merchandise, these officials say, arg held up until arrangements are made U enable purchasers to pay promptly in goid for American supplies.
 Although in need of foodstuff gen. orally, for the moment England is al most Over-supplied with grain, accorI- ing to estimates make by officials Of the international Mercantile Marine. This is due to the diversion to British ports of large cargoes in boats bound for continental ports at the outbreak of the war.
 Great Britain needs sugar more than any other article. For the first time in years English merchants are importing direct from New York. The bulk of Engand's sugar came before the war from Germany and central Europe. Nearly 1,500 tons were on the Celtic, sailing today and 1859 tons were aboard the KroonIand.
