ASSOCIATION LIKELY
TO SHAVE SALARIES
cu'. to Be Made That Magnates
Will Not Suffer Again.

From Kansas City comes the story
! that the American association will play
a 154-game schedule in 1918 as usual,
but the players salaries will be cut
so that the magnates will not have an
other disastrous year financially, such
as they have just passed through.
For many years in the American as
ISOLATION the top price paid ball play
err was $500. Today the top price is
about $780, raise of $500 for five
months work. The average price paid
few years ago was $1,000, while the
average price today is about 50, coo,
meaning an average increase of $500.
There are about 40 players in the
league, meaning an increase of $4,000
In players salaries per year.
The magnates believe If they can
cut salaries to an average Of $1,000,
each club owner.will save about $1,000.
BY reducing other expenses they be-
lieve the league can be put back on
a paying basis in 1913, despite the
war.
It is fact that one or two mag.
mates will lose about $4,000 each this
year. But they own clubs that have
been down in the race, and there are
other conditions that have brought
about this financial loss. The Column
bus and Indianapolis teams have made
some money, while one or two others
will break about even.

PROTESTS De 0R0's WIN
cannefax Claims Cuban Delayed Match
to Worry Him.

For the first time since the Lambert
trophy, emblematic Of the three-cush-
ion carom billiard championship, was
offered for competition in 1887, the
winning of the title has been protested.
Robert Cannefax, who lost the cham.
pionship to Alfredo De Orc at St.
Louis recently, $50 to 14S, has entered
protest with the trustees of the
trophy, and, as result, not only the
title, but the prize money, amounting
to $1,100, is being withheld pending
Investigation of Cannefax's charges.
The western billiardist declares that
on the final night Of competition at st.
Louis De Orc deliberately delayed the

him that he was thrown completely
off his game, and, as result, was de-
feated by two points. Cannefax says
that Tom Sperry. the referee, con-
fessed that he did not know exactly
how to interpret the rule which penal
ICES delay with forfeiture of the match.
Cannefax enumerates the various de-
lays caused by the Cuban.
De Orc is chronic kicker in
matches, but that seems to be part of
his game. That he is a great billiard
list and a real champion nobody, not
even Cannefax, can gainsay. The best
Cannefax can hope for is an order to

thought that the total vote of the three precincts would be able to over come the Perryville majority. Perry vile supporters say that the majori- ty will be at least 25O. There was much interest in the election, and very few of the l,940 voters in the county failed to visit the polls.
 Although no violence was report ed, an element of discord was found in the charge of Perryville supporters that the name of Perryville had been left off the ballots, when they were opened for use at the polls. This, the Perryville faction charged, was done purposely by the election com missioners, who, they say, supported Bigelow, in order to confuse voters and to increase Bigelow's chances in the election. Resentment at this alleged partisanship provoked no out bursts at the polls, however. Under an agreement made between the two factions and approved by the state election board, representative of each side were at the polling places and at the counting of the pallets. They were permitted to vote in the precincts where they stood guard.

A HINT TO THE WISE.

If an automobile or other vehicle should become stalled while passing over the Iron Mountain tracks at the Oak street crossing and be struck by a train, the burden of proof would be upon the railway company to show that it was not negligent in it's main tenance of this crossing. Full of deep ruts and holes and almost as difficult to pass over as if no crossing had been constructed at this point, the usual condition of the crossing is such that it would be very hard for the railroad company to prove that it had been exercising due care in providing a safe street crossing. Section Foreman Theodore Thessing and his crew spend much time at work on this crossing but the traffic is so heavy and so great in volume that loose earth and oak boards will not stand the wear. A serious acci- dent would probably cost the railroad company several times the amount that would be required to pave this crossing with brick or concrete.

SHERIFF 10 SEIZE LIQUOR SHIPMENTS FOR N0N-MEDICAL USES Attorney General Holds Officers Have Authority to Act When Law
 Violation is Suspected.

Armed with the advice of Attorney General Arbuckle, given him orally in Little Rock yesterday, Sheriff w. w. Bishop announced today that it was his purpose to prevent the deliv- cry of alcohol to consignees from the express office at Conway except in
 cases where it was clearly shown that the liquor was intended for legitimate medicinal or mechanical purposes. Hereafter whenever he has reasonable grounds for believing that shipment lis intended for illegal uses he will
 seize the liquor and hold it until the
 consignee proves in court that it's re- cept is not violation of the law. If
 such proof is not made the alcohol will be publicly destroyed
 Uncertainty over the provisions of
 the Greathouse-Ponder "bone dry
 law, and the varied interpretations given it in the courts of the state, to- gether with the incident of Saturday
 where Charles Cravens secured pos session of a shipment of four quarts of alcohol under a writ of replevin, caused Sheriff Bishop yesterday to seek the advice of the attorney-gen- eral. That official was very emphatic in informing him that according to his
 construction of the law the sheriff was given ample authority to investi- gate all shipments of liquor and if he had reasonable grounds for believing that any was intended for illegal use he was authorized to seize and take charge of the shipment.
 No one importing alcohoi for le- 2itimate use will be put to any trouble through my ofice,' said Sheriff Bishop today, but l am going to do my best to make it impossible for liquor to be brought here for drinking purposes. It might be possible for a man to need four quarts of alcohol at one time for medicinal proposes, but the burden of proof will be on him to show it. All l wanted was an official interpre- tation of the law that would authorize me to act without prejudicing my bondsmen, and I assure the people that shall do all in my power to see that the provisions of the "bone dry" law are rigidly enforced.
 Constable E. l.. King is equally strong in his determination to see that the law is not evaded. Following the delivery of the shipment of alcohol to Cravens Saturday, Constable King arrested him late yesterday for ap- bearing on the streets in a drunken Before Justice D. o. Har- ton, Jr., Cravens was fined $1O and costs this morning.
 Agent J. w. James of the Wells Fargo Express Company states that the company's instructions regarding the delivery of alcohol are very strict and that certificate from physi- elan or evidence of necessity of the shipment is required before delivery. It IS stated that an average of about one gallon a day of alcohol is being received here.

ALARM FARMERS
 FIGHT TICK LAW

A meeting at Oak Bowery, Palarm township. last night to protest against the enforcement of the tick eradication law in that section was the first intimation of an organized effort to oppose the proposition in this county. Morgan Berryman, J. c. Cupit and several other citizens of Palarm township who are in Conway today said the meeting was attended by more than 100 voters and the sen- timent was unanimous against com pulsory cattle dipping. They stated their investigations had led them to believe that dipping did no good and was an unnecessary expense and trouble. It was stated at the meeting that an act now pending in the leg islature would permit a township to vote upon the question as to whether the tick eradication law should be ef- fective in that township. A commit tee was appointed to investigate whether or not such an act had been passed and to report at another meet
 ing to be held Wednesday night.
 While the anti-dipping forces seem- ed confident that sentiment in Palarm township was practically unanimous against the proposition, this was dis puted by other citizens of the town ship. "If they leave it to vote in Palarm township, they will have to dip," said w. R. McHenry of Beryl, who is in Conway today. MT. Me Henry said several dipping vats are in process of construction in Palarm township now and it was his opinion

that the majority favored the en- forcement of the tick eradication law.
