Alternates Have No Chance.

AS the law now stands the alters
their respective principals do not fan
In their entrance examination. Thus
each year many hundreds OF boys
who aspire TO a military education
and career, and have the req uired en-
trance qualifications. as demonstrate

are denied the opportunity, tho al
the same time there may be hum
dreds OF vacancies because the boys
in some congressional districts are
not sufficiently interested IN West
Point TO take the examination for

Representative Plat has been fur

who annually take the examination

Memphis Firemen's
 Strike Averted

Memphis, Tenn, May 21.--Threat of the 260 members of the local fire fighters union to resign in body Monday unless their demands for increased pay were granted was withdrawn late tonight following a conference between R. R. Ellis, pres ident of the chamber of commerce and the unions grievance commit tee.
 1t was announced that the commit tee had agreed that the. resignation should be withheld until it could re- port to the union and the chamber of commerce could have time to in- vestigate the firemen's claims and the contention of the city, fire and po- lice commissioner that, since the mems offices and salaries were es- tablished by legislative enactment they could not be changed by the city government.
 The unions action on the commit. tees report, it was agreed, will be considered at another conference with Mir. Ellis Tuesday or Wednes day, and then if no agreement be tween the two sides to the contro versy can be reached, the firemen'ts representatives gave assurance that the men would not quit work without l72 hours notice.

IMMEDIATE MEAT SHORTAGE SEEN IN
 CAR SITUATION
Many Plants May Have to Shut Down, Wilson
 Warns

Chicago, May 21-Immediate con- striction of the nations meat supply is threatened by the reduced quota of refrigerator cars apportioned to pack ing companies by the interstate com- merce commission, according to a statement issued tonight by Thomas E. Wilson, president of the American Meat Packers institute.
 Reports today at the institute show that some plants may have to shut down on account of the lack of cars,' the statement said. "Other plants have been forced to fifty per cent curtailment of meat production and some of these are on the point of stopping operations entirely.
 "No packer owns enough refrigera tor cars to take care of his own busi- ness. The larger packers are compell- ed to rely on railroaod owned cars fol 25 to 35 per cent of their require ments. Smaller packers depend large ly on these common carriers.
 "Ordinarily the necessities of the packing industry are recognized and filled in order to protect the con- sumner. But the interstate commerce. commission has diverted to other uses a considerable share of the quots usually assigned and urgently needed to move meat.
 "As consequence labor is beine laid off and the quantity of livestock dressed is being reduced. Unless this condition is remedied a shortage o! meat will follow. The producer wht already is losing money, will suffel from restricted market for him mea animals. The packing industry, con fronted by reduced operations and : continuance of fixed charges, also vii be hurt"

 PRICES COLLAPSE
Sensational Breaks Come Be cause of the Credit
 Situation
COTTON SHARES IN
 THE RUSH TO SELL
cgiStered-Renewal of the Selling Movement Lowered
 for Today

Chicago, May 21. Mill oins of bush the markets today by holders who had become unnerved. Prices quivered and then collapsed. The strain and it's violent result were attributed mostly to sweeping changes announc- ed in railroad operation and to na- | tion wide tightening of credits Wreck age of values totalled 13 l-2 cents q bushel on corn, 6 3S cents on oats ana $1.75 barrel on pork.
 Tonight every brokerage house in Chicago was calling for heavily in creased margins on all open trades, and there were prospects of another strenuous day on change tomorrow. . Whether a reaction or q further drop in quotations was to be looked for few authorities would predict, but anxiety was evident that neither contingency should be guarded against to an unu- sual degree.
 Rural owners took q conspicuous part in the general selling rush that precipitated today's big smash in
 prices.
 It was said that heavy pressure came from houses with Wall street connection. The outstanding certain
 ty was that liquidation of great mag initude had commenced and was wholly
 unchecked when the session came to
 an end, with quotations at the lowest point reached and the trading pits q
 bedlam.
 Fear of glut of supplies at dis tributing centters had much to dc with the extreme weakness of tho grain markets and of the sympathetic
 action of provisions In this connec
 tion, the belief was widely accepted < that drastic order would be issuet
 for the railroads to move grain on l
 priority basis. Another special bear
 ish influence was the continued atten
 tion given to the cutting of merchan ldise prices in department stores al a distant cities, whereas little or no no = tice in the confusion wos taken of re l covery today of liberty bonds.

 New York, May 21.--There was

 ton contracts for May delivery in tn !. market here today. Trading in cur rent May contracts ended at mid
 day and late in the forenoon there wa y selling movement which carried tn e price off from 42.75, the night poin n of the morning, to 38.50.

40 are Rescued
 From Flood Water

Texarkana, Ark, May 21.-Forty people marooned on top of the levee and in houses in Lafayette county on the Lester plantation were rescued in small boats late Thursday afternoon after having been surrounded by wa ter five to seven feet deep since Mon day. They had suffered no special hardships, however, they reported. Fifty head of mules now are on top of the levee and efforts to get gov ernment boat from Shreveport to bring them out have failed, the boat being laid up for repairs. It is stated no further effort will be made to bring this stock out. as the river is reported as falling at Garland City, a few miles below where they are ma rooned, and the owners probably will wait until the water subsidies to res cue the animals.
