BANKS URGED TO VOTE
FUND FOR RED CROSS
Controller Williams Suggests Ma
tiona1 Institutions Declare Special
Dividends for Purpose.

Suggestion that the national banks of
the country by declaring an extra
dividend of one-half of one per cent can
provide $5.000,000 for the Red Cross
1und has been made by John Shelton
Williams, controller of the currency
In response to numerous inquiries which
reached him in kilograms and letters
from various parts of the country as to
whether or not the national banks can
make subscriptions to the Red cross. he
issued this statement:
The officers of a national bank have
no authority under the law to donate
the funds of the bank to the Red Cross
or any other similar cause, however
meritorious, without the consent and an
proval of every shareholder of the bank
AS it is usually difficult, If not i'm
possible, to meet this condition, the con-
troller of the currency suggests that, in
order to facilitate contributions to the
American Red Cross on the part Of own
ers of national banks the national banks
consider the desirability of declaring
special dividend out of the undivided
profits Of the banks. for such an amount
as the directors may think advisable for
the stockholders to give. and checks for
such special dividend can be mailed to
stockholders with a circular letter sug-
costing. but not requiring, that those
shareholders who are willing or desire
to do so shall indorse and return the
dividend checks 70 the bank with in
structions that they be sent (along with
the oiSiueEn cHeChS oI other <snaIenOId-
ers) to the Red Cross committee. Or. If
the stockholder prefers, he can send his
dividend check. properly Endorsed, direct
to the American Red Cross as an indie
pendent contribution.
THE national banks of the country
paid on their capital stock last year, In
dividends, an average Of about IL per
cent and earned much moro. If all
national banks should now declare an
extra dividend Of only one-half Of one
per cent on their capital stock. and their
shareholders should be willing that such
dividends should be donated to the Red
Cross. it would provide toward this great
cause over five million dollars.

except that they are SO busy soliciting
money they have no time to calculate
the result Of their efforts.

prospects seem bright for obtaining a

one of the country's most wealthy men.

nAL CHASE RANKS
 AS LEADER AMONG ''PLACE" hITTERS
Bevy of Widely Known Stars Coming With Gin
 cinnnati for Contest.

Baseball's greatest place hitter will give an exhibition of his skill in Pine Bluff on Friday when the Cincin- natl Reds, the dark horses of the com- ing National League race, play the Columbus team here.
 Hal Chase is the possessor of this crown, and he has earned it by the most rigid application of the batsman's art to his daily playing.
 Chase has, for years, been without a peer as a first baseman, and now he has taken his place among the really great batters of all time because he has mastered the art of hitting the ball where he wants to.
 Of course, Chase can't hit every ball where he wishes. If he could he would bat thousand instead of a mere .339 But when it comes to plac- ing his hits Chase doesn't have to take a back seat to any man now wearing spikes.
 Better batting by the whole Cincin- natl club is expected this season, be- cause of Chase's mastery of the place. hitting art. He has been instructing his teammates in batting at their training camp at Shreveport, La., the past three weeks, and now most of the Reds are able to hit the ball in any di- rection they care to.
 Besides Chase's batting and wonder full fielding Pine Bluff fans will see other stars in Red uniforms who rank with the greatest of all time. Fred Toney is one of the baseball's great est pitchers, while the team is man. aged by Christy Mathewson, inventor Surler 1 te of 4aaedMyt modern times @ Heinie Groh, Greasy Neale, Tom Griffith, Clarence Mitchell, Ivy Wingo, Larry Kopt and Pete Schneider are real stars whose names already are known to fans all over the country as standing for the best possible there is in baseball. Two Cubans, Manuel Cueto and Tommy Ro- manach, will be here with the Reds, and likely will play in the game on the local lot.

You can be happy-footed in a mo- ment. Use "Tiz" and never suffer with tender, raw, burning, blistered, swollen, tired, smelly feet. "Tiz" and only "Tiz" takes the pain and sore ness out of corns, callouses and bum ions.
 As soon as you put your feet in a "Tiz" bath, you just feel the happi- ness soaking in. How good your poor, old feet feel. They want to dance for joy. "Tiz" is grand. "Tiz" instantly draws out all of the poisonous exuda- tions which puff up your feet and cause sore, inflamed, aching, sweaty, smelly feet.

NEGRO THREATENS TO KILL OFFICER;
 NOW IN HOSPITAL
Madison Rhodes of Memphis S Shot in Breast by Police
 man Lynn.

Madison Rhodes, alias M. H. Collins, negro, who said his home is at Mem phis, to which point he was en route from Star City, was shot and seriously wounded about 10:30 o'clock last night by Roundsman Lynn of the police de- partment, in the alley between Third and Fourth avenues and between Main and State streets.
 After being shot the negro dropped the pistol with which he had threat ened to shoot the officer and ran into Main street, where he was met by Roundsman Higgins, who placed him under arrest. The negro was taken to the Davis hospital in the Holderness ambulance by direction of Dr. H. E. Williams, acting city physician, who gave him surgical attention.
 Lynn and Higgins were informed by a negro at the union station that Rhodes was "toting gun" As they approached Rhodes the latter started off on a lope, with his right hand held against his hip pocket, evidently to hold his pistol. Lynn followed him into the alley, Higgins going up Fourth avenue to Main street to head him off.
 Lynn reported to Chief Stewart that when the negro reached about the cen ter of the alley he suddenly whirled and called out:
 ''Stop, you - ---, or I'll kill you" '
 Rhodes was standing just at the corner of a building, in the glare of a light, and Lynn saw the negro was holding his pistol at his hip. Lynn fired while still running, and before the negro pulled the trigger. A .45- calibre bullet struck the negro in the left breast, causing him to drop his pistol and stagger. Lynn did not see the pistol drop, and when the negro started toward Main street again, fol- lowed after him. Just as the negro reached Main street, with Lynn at his heels, Higgins appeared, pistol in hand, and made Rhodes throw up his hands. The negro bore an open knife in his right hand at the time. His pistol was found near where he had been standing when he was shot.
 The police believe the negro is wanted somewhere for crime. this being the only reason they could ascribe for his action in running as the officers approached him. Because of his condition, no attempt was made to cross question him last night
 The police report that the negro who tipped off the officers informed them he had called Rhodes attention to the fact that the pistol was showing.
 Buddy, your pistol is showing" he declared he said. What you toting that gun forI?" ss,.4s;.. ..
 That's to protect myself, if I have to-" is the reply Rhodes is said to have made.
 It was announced that the bullet from Lynn's pistol went clear through Rhodes left shoulder blade, emerging at the back, and that the negro's chances for recovery are good, unless pneumonia or other complications de- velop.
