CHARLES WYNDHAM
DEAD IN LONDON
Actor Was Known Through
out United States and
Europe.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, January 12.-Sir Charles
Wyndham. the actor died in London
tEis morning.
Sir Charles Wyndham, through his
visits to America, covering a period OF
fifty years, was almost as well known to
the theatergoers in this country as he
was in his native England.
Probably few of those who remarked
upon his military bearing, standing as
he did above six feet in height, realized
that the noted actor began his acquaint-
ance with the Americans as surgeon
IN the Federal army during the civil
war.
Parents Wanted Him in Church.
/ Born in Liverpool in 1887, Charles
Wyndham was the son of prominent
physician. His parents intended him
for the church. To appease his father
he agreed to study medicine and about
the time of receiving his degree he
married Emma Silberaad, the grand
daughter of German baron. During
his early years he had found way to
give vent to his theatrical desires in
numerous amateur performances. In
1852. he made his first professional ap-
pearance at the old Royalty Theater in
London as Christopher Carnation in
"Carnation of Carnation Cottage" This
was under the management of Madame
de Rhona, when the company included
Ellen Terry, w. H. Kendall and David
James
Going on the stage meant going to
the dogs then, in the eyes of the
majority of people," said the actor in
lster life when he recalled the protests
in his family against his stage career.
The civil war in America proved TO be
his way out
Absorbed in Civil War.
He found the war of absorbing in
terest in America, however, and post
poned his theatrical ventures in favor
OF service as an Army surgeon. In
this capacity he was present at the
engagements of Charlottesville, Fred
serving all through the Red River
campaign under Gen. Banks.
On quitting the Army he returned
to New York, when on the opening
night. under Mrs. John Woods man
agement at the Olympic Theater. Oc-
tober 8. 1863, he played in Brother
and Sister" He was not considered a
striking success.
Two years later he was back in
peared with Henry Irving and Ellen
Terry
When he reappeared in New York,
at Wallack's Theater, in 1869, he read
lily established a reputation as a light
comedian, and organized a company
which covered all the cities Of the
United States.

FAST BALL GAME TUESDAY.
Board Camp Sluggers vs.. Bear Cats
Was a Snappy Contest.

Manager Jack Steele, the members
of the Bear Cats and the fans who at
tended the game played Tuesday be-
tween the Mena team and the Board
Camp Sluggers, on the grounds of the
latter, are enthusiastic about the
treatment they received at the hands
Of the Board Camp players and fans.
Then, too, they add that this was one
of the snappiest and fastest games Of
the season, resulting in score of 7
to 8 in favor of the Board Camp Slug
gers The game was called at 6
O'Clock and lasted hour and Is min
utes.
The lineup of the Mena team was
Winton, catcher; Dawson and Lyons,
pitchers; Reeves, 1st base; Daniels,
I'd base; Harrell, Sd base; Fletcher,
shortstop; Wood, centerfield; Hounsel,
rightfeld, and Townsend, leftfield.
The lineup of their opponents was as
follows: Sims, catcher; Heath, pitch
er; Hilton, 1st base; Hilton, I'd base;
Cloud, Sd base; Clark, shortstop; Mil
Ter, rightfeld; Little, centerfield;
wagner, leftheld.
A special feature of the game was
the work of Lyons as pitcher He re-
lieved Dawson at the end of the third
inning, and then held down the Slug
gers to no hits and struck out IA men.
Another notable feature was the hur-
die stunt pulled off by Daniels when
he easily cleared the first baseman
and landed safely on the sack. Still
another feature was the stick work
by young Townsend, who has been
picked as one of Mena's coming crack
players
Among the Mena fans attending the
game were Arnold Badt, A. A. Zach
airy, W. j. Lauck, Boyd Latin, G. L.
Baker and r. E. Valentine, and Misses

M. L. Hilton and G.. Elliott of Board

21 months they have been on duty to-

going to continue their companionshiI
in civil life, both having secured jobs
in the Ford auto factory at Detroit
and will leave September to take uT

given the boys widened vision and
both are determined to have part il

THIS SENATOR IS
after PACKERS
Mcclellan of Tennessee Again Intro
duces Bill First Offered in 1913
How Eggs Are MOnopOlized-

Washington, Aug. 13.-Federal reg
ulation of cold storage of food was
suggested in the senate today by SEN
ator Mcclellan, Democrat, of Tennes-
see. as a certain means of reducing the
cost of living and as the only remedy
for "the most outrageous piece of
priiteering that can be imagined"
Speaking in support of his bill first
introduced in 1913 and now as rein
troduced before the senate interstate
commerce subcommittee considering
high cost of living recommendations
of President Wilson, Senator Mcclellan
said if The bill had been passed in 1913
he felt sure the present conditions as
to excessive living cost would not ex-
list.
The meat packers were charged by
the Tennessee senator with using cold
storage facilities to fix food prices
at is being used by the packers,
he said, ''for the purpose of controll-
ing prices. AS used by the packers it
preserves III StdSOilo Vi piSllIy dho
permits them to withhold such large
quantities of foodstuffs from the mar
ket as to make a season of scarcity at
any time they see fit, and thus in
crease the price to the consuming pub
lic"
Explaining his bill, Senator Nc
Kellar said it would limit the time
food could be held in cold storage and
that it has been vigorously opposed
by packers.
Eggs particularly the senator as
serted are monopolized.
"They are in the hands of the most
giant monopoly there is in the world" /"
he said. "The price at which they are
bought by the packers and the price
at which they are sold is out of all
proportion and they never will come
down until eggs are stamped and reg
ulated."

SPECIAL SESSION
NOW PROBABLE
Sixty-three Members of Arkansas
General Assembly Favorable to
Road and Drainage Legislation j,
No Date Selected

Conway, Ark, Aug. 19.-Fourteen
more favorable responses received to-
day from members of the general as
sembly on the matter of the special
session of the Legislature for road and
drainage legislation brought the total
to GO, just six short of the majority
required by Governor Brough before
the call is issued.
OF the favorable replies, 46 came
from members of the house and sew
enteen from senate members. The
absence of only five more representa-
tives will make the special session al
most certainty. The committee here
is confident the majorities will be
reached before the end of the week.
The present tabulation includes re-
sponses by 81 out of 35 general as
sembly members.
Senators added to the favorable list
today were Ben H. Johnson, Houston
Emery, Lee King and Thomas Rogers.
Members as a whole emphasize the
need Of the special session and deplore
the adjournment of the first special
term without considering remedial
road and drainage legislation
Governor Brough returned to Lit
tie Rock today and will be at the cap
itol when the committee secures the
required majorities. There has been
no discussion thus far on the proba-
BILE date of the session.

WORLD WAR COST
WORLD2OO BILLION
Most Of This Sum Was Spent for Pur.

Time to Change From War to
Peace Conditions.

London, Aug. 18.-The war cost
forty billion pounds, Premier Lloyd
George declared in his speech in the
House of Commons today on the
financial and Industrial situation Most
of this sum was spent for purposes
of destruction. lie asserted that the
change from war to peace conditions
would take just as long as the change
from peace to war. The first out
standing fact of the present situation
was the alarming adverse trade bal
ance, he said.
The import restrictions which will
terminate September l, he continued,
had given British manufacturers an
opportunity of making a dealing in
goods which otherwise would have
been hurried here from foreign coun-
tries.

County Court.

At the session of County Court held
Saturday, Judge Finger revoked the
order which he had previously made
and under which school district No. 3s
was created out of territory formerly
embraced in school district No so
known as Rich Mountain district. The
order of revelation was made on the

torney, Judge j. |. Alley, convinced
the court that the former action was
illegal in as much as district No. &C

that hence the county court had nc
jurisdiction in detaching any territory
therefrom.
The order setting aside one-third OF
the funds of school district No. 60 tc

set aside, and the funds ordered agar

Singing Conductor Jones Loses in Eff

who attended the recent state musical
convention held at Hope, made a
strenuous effort to land the 1920 con-

Springs having been chosen as the

Conductor Jones had the backing of
the Commercial Club, the County
Singing Convention. the Eureka Music
Company, and other forces in the ef-

place for this state meet, but on the
convention floor he was singlehanded.
In losing the fight to Hot Springs, he
was a game loser, stating that while
he regretted the city of his choice was
not selected, he was glad that it went
to another good town in the state, and
when 1920 comes around he will be

luctance" Because of Inconvenience
to the Farmers.

Washington, Aug. 15.--President
Wilson today vetoed the bill repeating
the daylight saving law.
The president said he returned the
bill without his approval with "the ut
most reluctance" because he realized
"the very considerable and in some
respects very serious inconvenience
to which the daylight savings law sub
jects the farmers of the country"
Declaring the pressing need of the
country was for production by indus
try, the president said he had been
obliged to balance enc set of disad-
vantages against another" and decide
which was the mere serious for the
country
