LIGHT BRIGADE FEAT
 RIVALLED BY SPANISH
Cavalry, Protecting Retreat in Mor0c- co, Charges Four Times, Until
 Men are Exterminated.

Madrid, Aug. 12.-Gallant action by cavalry under Colonel Primo Rivera in protecting the retreat of column of 400 men is described in La Diberat- ad. The column was pressed by the enemy. The cavalry was ordered to charge and scattered the assailants killing many of them and enabling the column to retreat. The rebels, how ever, again attacked and the cavalry again charged. The battlefield was covered with the dead and dying of both sides, but the enemy was driven back.
 The Spanish then entered narrow pass where other rebels awaited them on the heights. They expected the order to retreat, but instead came the order to charge a third time. Shout "Viva Espana," the cavalry again att tackled, sacrificing themselves to save the column. None of the men hesitat- ed, and when the third charge was finished, few of them remained.
 Colonel Primo Rivera by word and deed, encouraged his men and ever ordered fourth charge. The brave susvivors spurred their horses against the enemy, but their animals were SC fatigued that they reached the rebel ranks at a walk. Here both men and horses were exterminated.

NENA'S TRAVELERS OUT FOR SEASON
Finding the Ball Team Was Too Great Luxury, Manager Sapp Paid of and Released the Players
 Internationally.

Menas Travellers are no more. Fol. lowing the last of the Talihina games Friday afternoon, E. H. Sapp, finan- cial manager, cast up accounts and found that the club was an expensive luxury, in fact too rich to keep. The fans in the four games paid in total of $246.S0 at the gate, the biggest days patronage being Wednesday when the attendance totaled $86.25.
 Uncle Sam's well known war tax took ten per cent of the total and the expenses of the visiting team were $175.47. The four games required $30 worth of balls, leaving a scant $16.65 to apply on salaries. On that kind of patronage Mr. Sapp and oth- CTS who have been supporting the team decided it was time to quit, and all the players were given what was due them and released unconditional ly.
 It is probable that an attempt will be made to reorganize on a less ex- pensive basis and finish the season The games with Stilwell were can celled Saturday and the fans will have to do without baseball next week.
 Mena won the last and deciding game with Talihina Friday by a score of 6 to 2. The game was called early to permit the visitors to catch No. 4 for home. The series of four games ended with an even break be- tween the teams, each winning a pair.

RUSSIA OFFERS GUARANTEE.
In Exchange for Relief, Americans to
 Be Permitted to Leave Country.

Riga, Letvia, Aug 11-A guaran- tee that all Americans remaining in Russia will be given an opportunity to leave that country if they desired was offered today by Maxim Litvinoff soviet representative at a conference held this afternoon with Walter l.. Brown, European director of the American relief for famine stricken Russia.
 MT. Brown, in informing Litvinoff that the United States was ready to go ahead with relief measures if all Americans in Russia were released, added:
 "Of course we would not tie up the conference with several months while some lone American in Siberia was de- ciding whether or not he wanted to go home"
 Mir Brown said there was sufficient food, probably enough to feed a mil lion children for one month. now in the American Relief Association head quarters in Danzig and Hamburg, and ships ready to load it and that it could be laid down in Petrograd, Riga or Reval within fortnight. He added that the interior transport situation was so complicated, however, that he was unable to say when the food could reach the actual starving people.

NOVEL METHOD TO CET SCHOOL FUNDS
In Conway It Is Proposed to Have All Merchants Collect Sales Tax Estimated Revenue 1000
 Per Month.
Special to The Star.

Special to The Star.
 Little Rock, Aug. 14.--Less public attention has been attracted by the unique plan adopted to raise funds for the Conway schools than it's in- genulty warrants. In keeping with the experience of many other districts m the state, the people of Conway were confronted with danger of clos
 ing their public schools on account of a shortage of funds. This would have been disastrous for a city like Con- way, which is noted for it's education- al progress, and the citizens at once began devising some plan to avert the threatened calamity.
 The plan agreed upon is unique in it's application altho it has been rec commended by many distinguished economists as q method for the raising of federal taxes by the general gov ernment. It was agreed that a sales tax should be paid and it was be- lieved that this extra revenue taken in conjunction with rigid economy would enable the schools to run at a maximum of service. Agreements were circulated among merchants and others and only in rare instances did they refuse to sign. It is estimated that the revenue derived from this new plan will amount to about $l ,000 per month. It has been estimated that not more than 10 per cent of the cus- toners complain about the payment of the sales tax Most of the stores add the amount of the tax to the bills. In statement made by the board it is said:
 It is only fair that in movement so Democratic as this, every citizen should lay side his prejudices and CO., operate to save the most important in- stitutions in Conway. We feel that the hundreds of people who signed the petition requesting the merchants to collect the tax, and who are now so willingly paying it, have given evi- dence of loyalty to our city and to it's schools that is worthy of great praise. It is a pleasure to serve a community that is animated with such sentiments of loyalty and patriotism. Let it be remembered, however, that the success of the movement will not be assured until all the business men who have subscribed to the plan hon. estly enforce it according to agree ment, collecting it from all their cus- toners, regardless of the customers willingness to pay"

ONCE CONDEMNED
 PRISONER ESCAPES
Sam Williams, Baxter County Mnr- derer, Rides Away on Mule
 ---Once Sentenced to Death.


 Little Rock, Aug 1l.-J. Sam Will Jams, aged 32, murderer, serving a life sentence on the Tucker farm, es- eaped from there yesterday, and up to late hour last night, was still at arge. Bloodhounds at the farm were having difficulty in trailing the es- capped convict, but were kept on the trail late last night. Williams was sentenced from Baxter county. Orig inally he was sentenced to be electro uted, but Governor Brough commut- ed his sentence to life imprisonment.
 Information received from the farm yesterday, was that Williams, who was acting as "water boy" rode a mule from the farm. His trail was followed into an adjoining pasture, where the dogs stopped. They later resumed the trail.
 Williams case attracted much att tention turnout the state. The mur- der of which he was convicted was a brutal affair. Williams entered a farmers home and finding no one there proceeded to help himself to something to eat While he was thus engaged, the owner of the house returned and surprised Williams. The latter Ieaped to his feet and shot the man, who died almost immediately.
 Williams fled and was traced into Missouri, where he was arrested. He was brought to the penitentiary for safe fe-keeping on December II, 1919, as the residents of Baxter county felt very bitter over the murder. On March i, 1920, he was returned to Baxter county, tried and sentenced to be el- ectrocuted May IA, 1920. Governor Brough commuted the sentence on May 4

MARSHALL FIELD BARS ROUGE.
Drastic New Rules for Girls Follow
 Bobbed Hair Edict.

Chicago, Aug. 15.-A new set of rules has been made by Marshall Field & Co.,, which recently issued an edict to the effect that girls with bobbed hair, unless it was netted, would no longer be employed by the big depart ment store. The new rules put the ban on rouge, powder in excess, ex- treme styles in hair dressing and rolled down stockings. The notice, which was posted in the store today, also seeks to discourage the wearing of dresses trimmed with spangles or with embroidered parts.
 So far as known there have been no dismissals for the non-observance of the new rules, but earlier in the week there were numerous cases of insurg- ency against the bobbed hair ruling. Twenty girls are said to have been dismissed for refusing to wear nets over their bobbed locks.

RUSSIA IS BEYOND
 HELP BY CHARITY
Secretary Hoover Says Famine Will Recur Yearly-Only Hope for the Stricken People Is to Change
 Economic System.

Washington, Aug. 11.-Famine in Russia is beyond the reach of charity and will recur yearly until that coun- try's economic system is changed, Sec retary Hoover declared in a cable to former President Ador of Switzerland, made public here last night.
 MT. Hoover's cable was in reply to an invitation sent by MT. Ador to all associations interested in Russian re- lief for a conference at Geneva Au- gust l5. The American Relief Admin Istration would endeavor to send it's representatives to the meeting, he said.
 If the discussion of measures for the relief of Russian famine lis to be- come of fruitful results" MT. Hoover asserted, the real issues involved must be faced frankly.
 Charity Is Useless.
 "The famine in Russia" he said, ''is of an extent entirely beyond the re- sources of all available private chari- ties of the world, especially in these times of economic hardship. Even were funds available for food the re- lief of Russia involves the rehabilita- tion of transportation of agriculture and industry necessitating measures again beyond the reach of charity"
 However, he continued, private charity should not be remiss in saw ing all the lives possible, tho the funds in this cct had been sub scribed almost exclusively for chil- dren and medical supplies.
 "We have" MT. Hoover stated, lon the assumption of satisfactory arr engagements with the soviet authori- ties already initiated large shipments to save as many children as our re- sources will permit. We can also se- cure some support to adults"

HOPE FOR MEDICAL BEER. Treasury Head Suggests Regulations May Issue Before Bill Passes.

Washington, Aug. 11.-One more hope for medical beer was held out today by Secretary Mellen.
 Discussing the anti-beer now in conference, Mir. Mellen said that should action upon the measure be deferred by Congress until after the recess, it was possible that the regu- lations covering the use of beer for medical purposes would be issued by the treasury.
 Under the existing law, he ex- plained, the brewers. are entitled to the regulations, altho it was prob2- ble that few would wish to take ad- vantage of them and make any fnan- cial outlay in the face of impending hostile legislation.

STATE ON SOUND
 FINANCIAL BASIS
Likely to Be s125.OOO Unexpected Balance at End of Biennial Period Credit Given to Governor
 T. c. McRae.

From the Arkansas Gazette.
 For the first time in 24 years Ar kansas has sufficient revenue in sight to meet all appropriations for the bi- ennium, and present indications are that at the end of the two-year period the general revenue fund alone will show an unexpected balance of s125,- 900.
 State Comptroller Van B. Sims yes- terday said that this condition is due to Governor McRae's rigid insistence during the legislature that the appro- priations be kept within the estimated revenue. The machinery thru which this was accomplished, Mir. Sims said, consisted of the joint Budget Con- mittee of the House and Senate, aided by the state comptroller, who passed upon every appropriation before the bill carrying 1t was reported back to the House or Senate.
 While Arkansas supposedly has been on cash basis since 1917, &C., cording to MT. Sims, until this bi- ennial period the appropriations have always been little in excess of the revenues the overplus being held back by agreement of the departments. As matters stand now every appropria- tions authorized by the legislature can be met when due, and 1t will be impossible far a warrant to be drawn that could exceed the fund against which it was drawn.
 Appropriation Records Broken.
 This has been accomplished, Mir. Sims said, despite the fact that all ap- propriation records were exceeded by the 1921 legislature. For general revenue purposes the total appropria- tions amount to $3,615, 300 for the two year period; $i,S42,29O for 1921 and $1,773,010 for 1922. At the end of the present fiscal year there will re- main an unexpended balance of about $25,000 in the general revenue fund, and at the end of the 1922 fiscal year $100,000 will remain unexpended, a total of $l25,000 for the period. Bal ances will remain in funds other than the general revenue, but no estimate of these yet is available.
 When the legislature convened Mir. Sims had prepared for each member schedule showing the estimated revenue from all sources which would be available during the l921-22 bien- nial period. When Governor McRae assumed office he announced that the appropriations must be kept strictly within the revenues, and said that he would return for redraftine any bills that exceeded the limit Each appro- priation bill introduced was referred to the joint Budget Committee of which Senator R. C. Stewart of Stamps was Senate chairman, and Representative s. A. Hoover of Mon- ticello, was House chairman. The committee, assisted by Mr Sims, bal anced the appropriations after all were in and by process of revision, allowing for all necessary expenses of the state government, made adequate provision for all institutions. As a result of the work of the committee and the comptroller, it was not nec- essary for the governor to veto sim gle appropriation bill on the grounds that it exceeded the revenues.
