the possible transfer of players, the new
Yankee owner said there hadn't been
any discussion of deals, not even

Judge Haynie Decides
 Against Commissioners
 Of Nix Creek Drainage

Circuit Judge Haynie, who has been holding court here for the past two days in hearing the suit of a number of TeXarkana concerns against the commissioners of the Nix Creek Drainage district yesterday after the completion of the argu- ments rendered his decision favor ing the plaintiffs in the action brought, and cutting their prorerties out of the district.
 Judge Haynie, in disposing of the case, sustained the exceptions to the assessments of benefits, and annulled and set aside the investment, over ruled motion for a new trial and granted the defendants ninety days in which to file bill of exceptions.
 In the ruling of Judge Haynie it Is held that none of the plaintiffs would be benefited by the drainage district, and in view of this fact an- nulled and set aside the assessments. It is understood that the remaining assessable property in the proposed district is not sufficient to bring an income large enough to carry out the desired Improvements.
 It was not learned whether an ap- peal would be carried to the supreme court or not.-TeXarkana Four States Press.

COMMISSIONERS WILL

Gated that Loss to Property o'S Would Aggregate S2S4,4OO-
 Renort of Civil Engineer Rec
 nmmeuds Shorter Levee.

1;ttla Rock. Aug. 7.-The Board of penitentiary Commissioners will in +ho near future take steps to enJoln the Linwood-Auburn Levee District from preceding with the construction of proposed levee across the state convict farm in Lincoln county. It ;s estimated that the land which would be ruined by the levee is worth s,Oo an acre, and would therefore be worth S2S4,400, not including two stockades and other improvements on l the property.
 The Board has received the follow ing statement of the situation from HI. N. Pharr, civil engineer:
 "The change as proposed by the dis triet abandons 6.2 miles of good levee already built, and throws out and leaves subject to overflow about 2S44 acres of this farm, of which about 216O acres are in good cultivation and highly improved, including buildings stockades. and gin. Also both the nat ! ural and artificial drainage of this area of the farm will be cut off, at
 great damage and injury to the prop erty of the state. It is my opinion ! that it is entirely practicable, feasi- l ble, safe and economical to protect
 this property by a shorter loop levee necesstated by the carrying away of ! the river bank. which would throw out
 subject to overflow, comparatively small area of the farm and not ma Iterially interfere with the drainage.
 T have also conferred with MT.
 Gus Waterman, the president and Dr.
 c. C. Price, the engineer of the levee
 and they advise me that they will proceed to construct the levee, as pro-
 posed by the levee district, and that
 they cannot consider the construction
 of shorter loop or any change in
 their plans.
 T therefore strongly recommend that you immediately enjoin the lovee district, their contractors and agents from proceeding in any manner to construct the levee as proposed by
 them, and that you immediately en- lOln the Levee District from proceed lng to condemn the right of way. and that you use every legal method to secure thorough consideration by the courts of this important matter, so
 that a skillful and proper location
 for this levee may be had and the property of the state and district safe
 guarded from the standpoint of pro
 1ection against floods. Prompt and
 llrm action by your Commission is
 Imperative"

It is officially estimated that the cost of education in the United States for 1914 was $750, 0,O00,000 That sounds big. but the sum is relatively small when compared with other items in the public expense. It is less by $500 ,O00 .000 than the cost of running the federal government; it is less than one-t third the nations expenditures for alcoholic liquors; it is only little over three times the estimated cost of admissions to moving picture thea ters in the United States for the same year.

Mrs. Josephine Bruguiere, of New
York, and Edmond T. Woods.
Mrs. Bruguiere was thrown into
the water and was kept afloat for
some time by her son, Louis, who
was forced TO relinquish his hold
when he was struck by a piece OF
wreckage. Nothing was seen o.
Woods after the steamer was
struck.
The torpedo that sank the Ara
bic, struck her ON the starboarj
side, 100 feet from her stern.
The vessel had left Liverpool
"Wednesday afternoon and was on
a southerly course, well off the
Irish coast, doubtless with view
TO avoiding the submarines when
frequent waters nearer the shore.
When the vessel was some %
miles west of where the Lusitania
was sunk in May the German UNI
derwater boat rose to the surface
and launched torpedo. The
craftsmanship of the Germans
was deadly accurate and the big
liner settled quickly and disap-
peared from view.
Fourteen steamers, with a total
tonnage of 47,56S, We're sunk

submarines. This toll establish
