GRAND JURY WILL ACT
Reform Action Also Takes in
Jack Dempsey and Car
pentier, the Fighters
PROSECUTOR Is TO ACT
Meanwhile Plans for Staging
the Big Ring Contest Are
Being Completed

JERSEY CITY. June 30:-prosc-
cutor Pierre GarVcn today told a
representative of the Associated
Press that unless more facts were
presented to him by the Information
al Reform Bureau he would not
recommend TO the grand jury to-
morrow that 1t return an Indictment
to block the fight here Saturday.
Representatives of the bureau and
the Clergymen's Association who
failed to secure an Injunction, yes
terday appeared before the prosecu-
tor and introduced facts which they
claimed showed criminal violation OF
the state laws.
Mr.. Garven today said:
Il will present all the facts now
in my possession regarding violation
of the law.
''If no further facts are presented
L Will not recommend to the grand
jury an indictment in this matter"
JERSEY CITY, June 3O.-Con-
spiracy to violate the New Jersey
bcxing law will be the charge
brought against Tex Rickard and
his associates as well as Jack Demp-
sey and Georges Carpenter at a
hearing before the Hudson county
grand jury tomorrow
The charges were brought by the
international Reform Bureau, mem
bers of which maintain the bout
next Saturday is a prize fight, while
under tie New Jersey law only box
ing exhibitions may be held. Prose-
cutor Pierre GarVan said he would
ask the grand jury to return indict-
ments. Should the indictments be
granted the men concerned will be
placed under arrest and the court
will either quash the indictments or
bring them to trial.
Should the bout be staged during
the intervening time all indicted
would be guilty of contempt of
court. The bureau in the attempt
to prevent the bout being held took
their case to the grand jury after
their failure to obtain iniunctions
against Rickard. Three justices re-
fused to grant the injunctions.
Prosecutor Garvan said he did not
believe there had been intention to
violate the law, but it was his
duty to take the case before the
iuTVmCn.

NEW YORK, June 30.-Jack
Dempsey and Georges Carpenter
will meet in an Is foot ring installed
today.
This is the minimum sized fighting
arena permitted under the contract
signed by the boxers. The maximum
was twenty-four feet and sports
men expressed the opinion that the
Frenchman would fight for a plat
form to give him more pportunity
for his footwork. The fact that no
official protest has come from the
Carpenter camp has given ground
for rumors that the challenger cx-
cct to box Dempsey toe to toe.
Confusion arose last night over the
size of the ring because of the fact
that although it will measure elgh-
teen feet from rope to rope. there
will be an overhang of a foot or so
to prevent boxers being hurled from
the stage.

HALF-MONTH DAIRY
 REVENUE S786.37 MILK SUPPLY FALLS OFF Manager Folts Finds Output Slightly Of-Good Returns from Au-
 gust Shipments.

Local dairymen from August 15 to 31 derived $786.37 from their ship ments to Little Rock. Of the amount S5O9.42 was for milk and $276.95 was for cream. September shipment may show slightly decreased revenue as the late summer months are having their effect on the supply and the out put is becoming less. The total for the last half of August, according to Manager R. L. Folts, compares well with the revenue for other months since the station was started and re- presents good revenue for the co-opera- tors.
 Today's shipment from the station is 30 gallons of cream, which repre- sents 100 gallons of milk run through the separator. Shippers were return ed 70 gallons of skinned milk by the station.
 Although market conditions are now none too good, Manager Folts is in no way discouraged by returns from the shipments. On August 15 the price of butterfat dropped from 40 to 36 cents per pound and appreci- ably cut the revenue. He pointed out that while prices fluctuate in the dairy business the same as others, dairy sections show uniform prosperity and are always better prepared for hard times than other farm communities. He is confident that dairying has paid and will continue to pay we'll in this county, which is we'll adapted to the industry.
 Shipments now made from the sta tion are cream, the skinned milk from the separator being retained by the shippers. Installation of the separa- tor completes the stations equipment and prepares it for the handling of all dairy products on scale now far above the local production.

l6O NEW PUPILS
 IN PUBLIC SCHOOL
ENROLMENT ABOUT 900
First Days Attendance About 100 Greater than that of One Year
 Ago, Says Superintendent.

One hundred and sixty new pupils, including 50 beginners who had never before attended school, and 100 who had previously attended other schools. were enrolled in the Conway public school (white), which opened its an- nual session this morning, Supt. R. E.. Womack said this afternoon. Exact figures on the enrolment had not been compiled at the hour the Log Cabin Democrat went to press, but MT. Womack said he was sure it would reach the 900-mark and would be fully 100 in excess of the first days enrolment last year. The gain in the number of new pupils the first day was equal to the number of new pupils ordinarily entering during the entire year, he stated.
 Several rooms are badly overcrowd- ed, and shifts will have to be made to take care of the situation, the su- perintendent stated. Two teachers have enrolled IF pupils in the third grade alone.
 Informal opening exercises were held in the school auditorium begin ming at $40 o'clock. Rev. R. L. Jet ton, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, and Dr. J. w. Conger, pres ident emeritus of Central College made short talks on the sales anc luxury taxes, the collection of whick is making the opening of the present session possible. They urged the pu. pills to assist in building up a stronger sentiment for the continuance of the special taxes. Short addresses were also made by Rev. E. P. J. Garrott pastor of the First Baptist church, and Rev. c. M. Reyes, pastor of the First Methodist church. An enjoyahle solo was rendered by Prof. Homer F. Hess of the State Normal, who also led the singing. The largest number of patrons ever attending opening exercises was present.
 All classes met this afternoon and were assigned textbooks and lessons and regular classroom work will be- gin tomorrow morning.

REMAINS in HER MEMORY
How North Star Brings Up Vision OF

One of my own most perfect child
hoou memories concerns my visits to
my grandmother, when she invited me
to stay for supper, and my GRANDPA
Their walked home with me after dark.
All along the way, he used to point
out our two. shadows on the pa 7ement,
as we passed the street lights one BY
one.
We watched the way the shadows
were very short directly below the
lamp, and how they heightened until
they were just our height-his more
than twice as tall as mine-and how
they finally grew so long that their
tops were almost out of sight. The
object was to find the point where
the shadows were exactly as tall as
ourselves. When we came to the
darkest part of the street, where our
shadows were lost in the hedges, we
used to stop and ind the North star
over pointed tree near my own
home.
That was always the way we made
the journey from his home to mine.
until he thought that I was too old
to care to have him show me stars
and shadows any more But for me.
as long as Live, the North star will
shine over that particular tree. And
shall always keep the memory xof
that funny little shadow that used
to be mine, clear cut with the light
behind it-and beside 1t, hand in hand
with it, that dear characteristic shad-
ow that never falls on any road in
the world.-Frances Lester Warner in
