NEW YORK. Nov. 23.-That the major and minor league players in all leagues protected by the Baseball Players Fraternity will refuse to sign their contracts unless the national as sociation, the governing body Of the minor leagues, grants requests recent ly made upon it by the fraternity. was again indicated by a statement made here today by President David Fult- of the Fraternity.
 f"The national association simply must grant these requests; that is all there is to it." said MT. Fultz. we have pledges from virtually all our players not to sign contracts until they get word from officers of the fra ternity.
 q am more sure than ever that 70 have the majority of the players be- hind us on this issue. Since the min or league conference ignored our re quest in New Orleans. have received letters from dozens of players asking that we "sit tight"
 Fultz also said he had sent chair man Hermann of the national com mission copies of contracts entered into last season by Ray Heating of New York and John Henry of Wash ington. Both of these contracts had clauses exempting the club from pay ing the players salary in the event of injury met while playing ball, MT. Fultz declared. -s-. - -.- .-

 The action of limestone phosphate and hot water on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating.

A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will cost very little at the drug store. but is sufficient to make anyone who is bothered with bilious ness, constipation, stomach trouble or rheumatism a real enthusiast on the subject of internal sanitation.

The Douglas men nave won their eighth game this season, and have sent word that they are going to win their ninth game Saturday nlsht The local boys have been hard at practice for the last two weeks and promise to hang the Indian Sign on the Douglas boys with a good score to boot. Preparations are being arranged for a large attendance, and the boys are promising to hang the bacon on the local gym.
 The local team will be made up from some of the best basket ball players in the country. In practice. these men have shown remarkable speed, and ability to handle the ball. Red Wilson and Punch Laswell are late arrivals from Los Angeles where they played championship ball. Roy Benton needs no introduction to the fans of Bisbee, being a finished athlete in all lines, and at present he is playing center for the crack local team. Byron Thomas is playing a crackerjack game at guard, and is known as hard worker. Therefore, Bisbee is banking on the old timer to break up the team work of Douglas, Potter at guard is known to all as an iron man in his old posi- tion, and will give a good account of

MANY VIOLATIONS OF
 FEEDING STUFF LAW

Little Rock, Feb. 2.-Numerous complaints are coming to the commis- missioner of agriculture about the violation of the concentrated feeding stugs act. On account of the fund not being available, no inspector has been in the field since last March, but the law is just as effective as though the inspection was being carried on as provided by the statute.
 Complaints have been recelved o1 the death of stock due to poor feed; of sales of sacks without tags bearing the analyses as required; and of the sale of feed in all sizes of sacks when the law prescribes uniform sizes and weights of packages Tn which the feed is sold.

 Little Rock, Feb. 2.-At 2 o'clock this afternoon penitentiary officials were still unable to get any informa- tion as to whether the 300 or 400 ne gro convicts marooned on levee and surrounded by water at the Cummlns farm had been rescued. The wires to Cummins are submerged and al efforts to learn the fate of the con- victs have been fruitless.
 Fear of landing with the river pouring through the break Tn the levee at the state farm last night kept the crew of the packet Bay Queen from rescuing between the convicts huddled on what remained of the levee on the state farm. The steamer left Pine Bluff at o'clock yesterday afternoon, but tied uf above Cummins last night without at tempting a landing at the farm. Pen itentiary Commissioner John I. Bur kett was aboard.
 The Goree stockade at the state farm was caught up and moved lOl yards by the flood. More than 2e convicts, who had refused to leave the stockade when the flood drove tho prisoners and their guards onto the |levee, are still in tn ebuilding, it is said. The state farm hospital, under mined b ythe river, toppled into the flood.
 The marooned prisoners and sev eral negro families suffered from the cold, the temperature last night being Is degrees. The levee at Douglass still is holding, and is not expected tf break.

RIVER AT STAND::
 DANGER IS PAST
NO. Z LEYEE NOW SAFE
RIVER AT STAND FOR 24 HOURS AND EXPECTED NOW TO BE-
 GIN FALLING.

With the river practically on a stand for the past 24 hours, and a fall expected to begin by tonight, all danger of serious damage by overflow along the river front in this county is regarded as past, and no further un- easiness is felt.
 A. M. Ledbetter and Jeff Moss, who have been supervising the work of protecting the levee in District No. ?, returned last night and said the levee was holding intact and no fears of a break were felt They stated, howev- CT, that the water lacked only few inches of overfowing the levee and had the stage predicted by Section Di- rector Cole been reached, nothing could have prevented the levee from going out.
 Reports from Little Rock this morn ing stated that the river was practic- ally at stand at that point, though the guage showed a rise of one-half foot in the "A hours ending at 7 o'clock. The stage at that hour was 27.3 feet, the highest recorded since June II, 1904, when PTS feet was reached. It was higher by one foot than any water since the levees in this county were constructed.
 At Fort Smith the river stood at I2S7 feet, a fall of 2.1 feet. Dardan- ellie reported fall of ' foot, the stage being 28.8. At Bigelow there was a rise of one foot in A hours, the guage registering 30.S feet
 It will be several days before the Cadron creek falls sufficiently to per init traffic over either the King of the Terry bridge. Other streams in va rious parts of the county, which have risen to unusual stages, are said to be gradually receding, but mail and tele- phone communication throughout the county is still seriously crippled. This condition accounts for the lack of the usual amount of rural news appear ing in the Log Cabin Democrat this week.

OBITUARY.

On Sunday morning, January 23 1916, the Lord of heaven sent his an igel-the messenger of death-to earth to call from this life our be- loved friend and neighbor, John F Martin, and invited him to come up into the realms above to enter into the joys and blessings of his reward awaiting him for the noble life he spent here.
 He was born in Mississippi, Decem- Der 13, 1861, and came to Arkansas in 1870, where, in Conway county ir 1898, he joined the Christian church
 He was first married December 26 1883, to Ellen Goodson, of Cato, who died February 20, 1900, leaving him with seven little children.
 Sad and sorrowful, and incident to times and surroundings, he spent his time in his home with his children whom he loved so sincerely and affec- tionately; at all times reverencing the name of his Creator, and striving to cheer his family in their loneliness and to do all in his power for their support, education, happiness anc prosperity; ever warning them , against the perils of temptation anc vice that might beset them in life's pathway, picturing to them the beau, ties of a life spent in honor anc righteousness.
 On June 30, 1901, he was agair married to Nanny E. Pruett, who died May 3, 1905, again leaving him in solitude and loneliness, with an in fant child to care for, and only the presence of his children to brighten lifes journey.
 It can be truthfully said by all who knew him, "his life and charac- ter was one worthy to be followed" a sincere, loving and devoted Christian father, and leader for his family; and noble and esteemed neighbor; ever on the alert to lend his influence and means for the support and malnte- nance of schools or other enterprises that was for the refinement and up building of his community, and was ever ready and willing to give assist ance to the sick, the poor, and the needy; never forgetting to show kind ress and courtesy to all persons whom he come in contact with, or dealt with.
 He is survived by four sons and three daughters. The sons are Alon- 20 Martin of Argenta, and Fred, En- melt and Floyd, who were at home with him. The daughters are Mrs Gertrude Jones and Mrs. Frances Harper of Argenta, and Miss Pearl Martin who was at home.
 May each one of the children deter mine to so live, that the good impress sions and the noble characteristics will shine out in their lives. And that in the end they may gain home in Heaven.
