R. E. Hughes Is To Be Bust
ness Manager Of Coruier-
JournaIIand Times.
LITIGATION IS AT AN END
Majority Stockholders Have
Authority to Control Both
Both the Properties.

Louisville, July 30.-The Court of
Appeals reversed Judge Wallace in
the Haldeman case by dissoiving the
injunction granted Bruce Haldeman.
This gives complete victory to w.
B. Haldeman, Gen. B. H. Young and
Henry Watterson. Justice Miller
wrote the opinion and all others con-
Cured. tits reported that Robert E.
Hughes is to be the new business
manager of the Courier-Journal and
Louisville Times.
The temporary injunction prevent
ed the defendants from removing
Bruce Haldeman as business manager
and supervision over and participa-
ton in the editorial department of
both newspapers. The high court up
held the legality of that forthcoming
action by the defense.
Henry Watterson, in the lower
court, interviewed as opposed to the
legality of a private agreement by
the three Haldemans in 1912, by which
Bruce Haldeman was to be president
and business manager, and w. B.
Haldeman vice president or director
untll one of the three Haldemans
should die. He denied acquiescence
in the agreement and opposed its
further enforcement as against public
policy. The lower court decided that
Mr.. Watterson had acquiesced; the
court of appeals sustained his denial.
In its opinion the court Of appeals
declared that no private agreement
could bind future action and election
of corporation officers in Kentucky
declared the agreement invalid.

.SOYARS MAY
VOLUNTEER
Again As Soon As He En-
tirely Receivers From
Operation.

William Oglesby Soyars, the young
Hopkinsville attorney who came so
near losing his life at Fl. Benjamin
Harrison last spring, is rapidly recov-
ering his health. He was taken i'll
with appendicitis, but was not exam
ined by competent physician and was
forced TO continue the hard physical
training while hardly able to stand
up. When his critical condition was
finally discovered, and his case
brought to the attention of the higher
officer, he was discharged and per-
mitted to return home. The officer
put him aboard night train and he
reached home the next morning in
state of collapse. A speedy operation
was barely in time to save his life
after long struggle and his recov-
cry was slow after he left the hospi-
tai. He was registered but was one
of the last men drawn for this county.
1t is likely that as soon as he is able
to pass the physical examination
again, he will once more volunteer
for service in the officers reserve
corps. Having taken part of the
course of training, he could get a
late start and finish with the next
class. which begins work August 81.

in which he threw the little Wisconsin
man two straight falls, Plestina chal-
lenged Cutler and Cutler wired back
name the date" Plestina named
February II, but when Stecher. and
Peters were matched, for February y
it was decided this date would be too
close, so Cutler has been advised that
a later date will be selected.
Cutler is,the man who came out to
Omaha two years ago to make Joe
Stecher's reputation for him. Cutler
made it by succumbing to Joe's cele-
brated scissors hold twice in about
twenty minutes.
Hopes to Meet Stecher.
Plestina, who has high hopes Of
some day wrestling Stecher's laurels
away from him, says he intends, to
throw Cutler in even quicker time than
Stecher did. He will have to show
some speed, though.
1t is said Plestina is contemplating
challenging the winner of the Stecher-
Peters match. Plestina has been
thrown by both Joe and Charley, but
that was when he weighed about $50
pounds and was in no shape to wrestle

Increased Size Of State Basket
Ball Event Leads to specu-
lation Over Problem.
SIX TEAMS ARE FAVORED
By KARL LEE.

By KARL LEE.
The increased size of the annual
state basket bali tournament, coupled
with objections offered by larger
schools, has brought up the question
OF sectional tourney and asking
whether a big majority of the teams
OF the state shall be eliminated, ac-
cording to locality, at a smaller tour
nament in their own section of the
state, after which winners will fight
for the highest honors in a central
metropolis, or whether the present
system shall be allowed to maintain
itself, growing larger and larger each
year. State university officials, of
course, will be on the latter side.
The question concerning the cen
trail tournament has been successfully
solved by Guy Reid, assistant director
Of athletics at the Nebraska univer-
sity. According to records for the
season the hundred or more teams
are divided into three distinct classes,
A, B and c, and the championships
of each division fought out during
the four days OF the tourney. the final
winning team receiving silver cup.
This system is as excellent as could
be conceived, provided the classihca-
ton committee does not discriminate.
