by while the boy picked at the igni-
tion lock of the car with a screw
driver. Alligood asserts.
He had observed the owner enter a
theater. and he got the car going
easily. Then Alligood hoped on his
trail. He followed the boy for more
than a mile through the streets be-
fore he stopped him.
Sloan exhibited an operators per-
NIT belonging to a woman. and said
the car was his fathers, the detec-
tive says. This proven false. he said
he had succumbed to temptation when
he saw the man enter the theater and

VAN sCHAICK STATEMENT.
The statement to Callahan follows;
Since your name is attached TO q
report of a committee OF the Rotary
Club dealing with the school situa-
ton. which report has been published
IN the press, ! take this opportunity
OF expressing 10 you my deep regret
that your committee found IL mex
pedient to call upon members or tho
Board of Education.
II trust may be permitted also to
express surprise that committee
named presumably TO report upon a
matter about which there was con-
troversy should have found IL In
expedient' 10 interview the only per-
sons who have Legal authority to
deal with the situation, but my re-
gret that the committee did not seek
an interview with members Of the
that surprise but upon the fact that
such an interview would have pre-
vented your committee from basing
its report upon an utter false
statement.
Evidently your committee was de-
ceived by the campaign OF malicious
lying that has been carried on by
those who would substitute intimida-
ton for calm conside ration n mat
ters OF public policy.
STATEMENT is FALSE
Your committee states in the sec
ond paragraph OF its report: Further
more, his tMr. Thurston's) work has
been commended by the report OF the
Senate committee after a fun inyesti-
cation of the local school situation"
That statement In false, and ]. am
forced to believe that not only diu
your committee find 1t incxpedient to
call upon members Of the school
board. btu that you also found 1t in
expedient to read the report OF the
Senate committee.
Il am inclosing for your perusal A
copy of that report You will find
when you come to read IL that II says.
on page 4. Your committee wishes 1t
to be thoroughly understood that
, nothing in this report Is to be con-
strued as condemning or commencing

This alone must be enough to con-
vince you that your committee acted

SIX GAMES
 STARTS ON FRIDAY
HENDRIX PLAYS P0RkERS
Ouachita Follows Monday and Tues day and Then Plays Normal
 Ouachita Claim Groundless.

Catching it's full stride, the c9ll-- giate baseball season viii take on full life on Friday when Hendrix Bulldog and the University af Arkansas F5rA- CTS play the first of two games ,n Russell field Ouachita College vii follow on the Hendrix schedule Mon day and Tuesday, and on Wednesday and Thursday, the chesty Tigers -alI meet State Normal on Normal field The full series of six games &ll bring together the four teams which probably will stand at the top of the standing in Arkansas when the season is closed.
 The Hendrix clan feels all to the good as a result of the Traveller gane last Tuesday. It showed the strong points of the diamond combination which Coach Headrick has worked out, and also revealed Smoky Dunn as moundman who probably will more than hold his own against collegiate opponents The Porkers have not ap- peared in any games this far, and the calibre of the crew is uncertain. The shrinkage in the student body at the University of Arkansas and the in crease made at Hendrix leave the ath- letic directors of the two school stu dent bodies of about equal size from which to pick their teams. Dub" Harrison, a former Hendrix student. will probably be in the squad winch will arrive here from Fayetteville on Friday morning.
 Ouachita opened the season Tuesday with a victory over Henderson Brown to 5, and at once made the ground less claim that the Tigers maintained he diamond record of not having met iefeat at the hands of a collegiate op-

MOTHER CAT ADOPTS
 BROOD OF SQUIRRELS

The average reader may brand this story as another piece of nature fax ing, but numerous residents of near Nilonia vouch for it's truth G. D. Stephenson brought the story to Con- way and several other residents of that section vouch for it's truthful ness.
 4 cat belonging to man named Lu- cas. living on the Dallas farm cac mile south of Nilonia lost all of her litter of kittens except one. About the same time, some one found litter of four squirrels, and the cat adopted them into her family, which now consists of one kitten and the four squirrels. No partiality is shown by the cat to any of her brood as at present composed, it is said the squir- rels receiving exactly the same atten- ton and care as the one kitten.
 The family of cats and squirrels is now entering upon it's third week of harmony and development. An un- usual feature is the fact that the squir- rels are said to be growing at nor nal rate and retaining in full the same qualities they would have had If they had been raised in the regular way.

ponent for a period of five years The statement was the occasion of a special "hurrah" from the State Nor nal, on account of the five games won of six played in 1917. That year. Coach Dan Estes and his team took two of three from the Tigers on the Normal lot, and then made clean sweep of the three return games play ed at Philadelphia
 Coach Estes had hoped to have his team in action at RussellTille against the Second District Aggies Friday and Saturday, bat information was re- ceiyed from the Agg e coach that the school would not attempt to have q team due to the early close. N other games could be arranged for the two dates, which will give the Teachers a long spell of practice fore the Tigers are met. Henderson Brown, Ouacaita at Arsa5al9hia and Little Rock College follow on the schedule for the Normal after the OCacnlta games here.
 Smoky Dunn, Wahl and Coleman are the probable moan1men from whom Coach Headrick will pch h.s slab nominees for the two games with the Porkers The line mp as used against the Travellers will probably go through the season without change, the shift of Myers to first base add ing strength to the team. The pitch ing staff when of duty likely will be given care of the right garden. The first game of the University of Ar kansas series will be called on Russell field at 3:30 o'clock, and a general ad- mission fee of 50 cents will be charged.

HEAVY INCREASE IN
 KY. EQUIPMENT COST

Little Rock, April 1.-The cost of railway equipment is being brought forcibly to the attention of the peo- pie at this time. The Little Rock street railway company is planning to spend about s100.000 for new cars, but it is said that amount will pur- chase only about ten cars.
 And now comes the Cotton Belt railroad with the announcement that it will spend $1,000,0o0 for new freight locomotives of heavy type. That looks like a great deal of money, but it does not look so large when 1t is known that the locomotives will cost S50,000 each. Pres. J, NJ. Herbert says that he expects delivery of ten engines on or about June 1, and an- other ten as soon as they can be built
 It is said that the price of locomo- tives is nearly double what Is was in 1917. Such types of engines as are to be bought by the Cotton Belt will be paid for at the rate of approximate ly 16 cents a pound, the old price hay ing been in the neighborhood of nine cents. Many engines and other equip ment were continued in use under gov ernment control that would probably have been retired under normal con- ditions. The Cotton Belt is preparing for a general program of improve ments and betterments.

 Do you know your eyes are in ! normal refraction condition. If they are not 1t is necessary for you to use sufficient ner- Eous energy to overcome the 2rror through the cilliary body.
 This energy applied when see ing at a distance is unnecessary waste and often cause enor- nous amount of trouble that is not contributed to the eyes. When the eyes have been prop

N LIFE CONWCTS
Dinner GUESTS Of
PARDONED SLAYER
All Had Been in Sing Sing at
Least IL Years, Host for
Longer Period.

William Perry entertained a party
Of twenty at ossining last night at a
dfnner which was full OF novelty for
his guests and for Perry's frank ad-
mission that It cost him Z fair share
Of the money he has accumulated
during the last fifteen years, though
the price TO him per cover was not
made known. The dinner was in
honor Of Warden Lewis e Iawes OF
Sing Sing Prison and MIA Iawes and
the Rev. Father W. p. Cashin. It
was served in the Warden's home for
the convenience Of the other seven
teen guests, who are all life con-
victs and could not well 60 further
from the d6micile provided for them
by the State.
Perry was himself a life convict
until to-day. After serving fifteen
years OF the time allotted to him by
the law for an error OF his youth he
was pardoned by Gov. Smith. For
several years he has been an attend
ant on the Warden's household: there
have accumulated besides the Nttle
allowance made by the State many
tips deposited by the warden's guests
for his benefit,
He has made himself liked on both
sides OF the prison wall because he
has always tried to make life pleas
anter by doing and saying cheerful
and helpful things and has never tried
10 get favors by knocking his fell
low prisoners to the officials or the
officials to his fellow prisoners-in
spite Of his unusual opportunities.
As guests Perry selected the life
prisoners who had been at Sing Sing
more than twelve years. They agreed
with him when he told them he hoped
to see every one of then again-out-
side. Because" he said, in his brief
speech, when I go out of here I'm
not going to see the inside Of this
prison or any other, ever again. I've
got a girl who will stand by me and
I've got a job with a boss who says
to stick with both of them"
The seventeen inside" guests were
all on parole. In conformity with the
law, guards had to leave the prison
with them. But the guards left sep
arately and dined in another room
and kept out of sight until the dinner
was over and the offers" headed by
Mr.. Perry had walked back across
the lawn and into the prison door.
Some OF them have not been outside
the high wall for years; some may
never come out again.
Perry, who is a negro, was sentenced
by Judge Rosalsl1y June 20, 1906,
after re had shot and killed Alice
Merritt, former friend. and her COM
tpanion, Louis Miller. on the 10th
Street Station of the Sixth Avenue
elevated railroad. under circum-
stances which did not warrant a YER
dict Of murder in the first degree.
