Linn Gale Ex-Everything Now
Except Ex-Military Prisoner
On Governors Island Waiting Trial Draft Dodger,
He Recants All Radical Doctrines and Is Said
to Offer Information Against His Old Friends

Linn A. E. Gale is an ex-radical, an
ex-pacitist, an ex-Communist, an ex-
Bolshevik. an ex-anything that does not
groove with normalcy and freedom,
Roger N. Baldwin, of the American
Civil Liberties Union. gathers from a
letter he received from the young man s
attorney, Samuel M. Castleton, of At
lanta.
Young Mr.. Gale is military prisoner
on Governors Island, awaiting trial for
running off to Mexico instead of re-
porting to his local board when the
draft law was in force, and some of his
ex-friends think that circumstance may
have influenced his excellent judgme Mt
to adopt course of general ex-ness.
Mr.. Baldwin was Interested in find
ing out whether Mr.. Gale was ex-every-
thing or just ex-something, because
subsequent to his election from Mex
ico he understood that the young man
had been appealing for aid from all
sides, particularly from all radica!
sides.
I'VE understand" wrote Mr.. Baldwin
to Mr.. Castleton. "that although he
posed as radical in Mexico CITY. as
publisher of Gales Magazine he has
since not only renounced his radical
views but has offered to give to the
government information against radi
calls he acquired as one of them.
We understand further that eve,
since he was deported from Mexico
and arrested in the United States he
has been appealing for defense funds
and political influence to any and al
sources of help in an attempt to escape
the consequences of evading the draft
In so doing he has shown a complete
disregard for principle, friendship and
obligations, offering to do practically
anything which promises to bring his
freedom

Richmond Was Defeated.

Richmond was defeated in game of ball here Wednesday afternoon, the score being Ashdown 10, Richmond 5. The locals had the best lineup that they have had this year, and except for little lossening up during the lat ter half of the game, it was an air. tight performance. Beasley was pitt ching for the locals and the whole team was backing him. Joe Smith started for the visitors, but was not effective. During the early part of the game with two men on bases, Jake Cobb hit for a double. On his second time up he repeated the per- formance with the same results. Chas. Smith went into the box for Richmond and while his work was an improve ment he could not shut off the SCOT ing, four runs being made off him. In the ninth, Joe Smith, for Richmond knocked three bagger to right field.

Baptists Get Right.

The Baptists were absolutely right when they tied up with the MethOdists Tuesday afternoon. The result was a 10 to 2 victory. The game was won by playing base ball. The Methodists played a good average game, but when clean hits in punches are being made there isn't any kind of fielding that will stop run getting. Medley, the deep water pitcher, kept his hits well scattered. Lambright pitched for the Methodists and held it safely most of the way, but when the sign is right for sluggers to slug, then, what's the answer? The only answer is to just sail in and slug more runs than the other side, but slugging Medley on this occasion was not what 1t migh. have been. The Baptists lineup had been strengthened, and John John ston flashed into fame as a shortstop.

Baptists Give Elders One.

b8pGfSCS UIVe ElOerS .V0es
 Those who went out Thursday after noon expecting to see a real baseball contest between the Baptists and Pres byterians were disappointed. The Baptists not only presented the Elders with the game, but ran after them and humbly begged them td take it. Men who played the game like big leaguers on Tuesday might have been wooden legged men with an arm in 8 sling on Thursday. To be sure the Presbyter- ians were right out there playing the game and ready for somebody to start something, but nobody did. The score was Presbyterians II, Baptist 3. Orrison started the game for the Pres byterians and Russell went to the box about the middle of the performance and kept the game on ice. Abbott started for the Baptist and as his of- ferings were too much to the liking of the Elders he was followed by Med ley. The Elders liked his too Lott for the Baptists made two spectacular catches in right field. The Elders pull ed a real sensation when in the ninth they sent Homer Welch in as pinch hitter with two men on. He hit little pop fly in front of the pitcher, an easy one, and then ran to second on it and was threatening to stretch it into a home run when the umps and other friends finally persuaded him that he was out. Incidentally he scored a runner and a second one was out at the plate by close margin.

WANT NEW INDUSTRIES
Texarkana Interests Dickenring for
 Shelter and Rolling Mill.

Texarkana, July 12.-E. M. Gleason, traffic manager for the Texarkana Freight Bureau, is negotiating with eastern capitalists for the establish mont of a smelter and rolling mill at Texarkana. He announced today that the outlook is encouraging, and he feels certain such an industry will be established here.
 The iron ore field of Cass county, (Tex.) is only 20 miles from Texar- kama and only little way from the main line of the Texas and Pacific railroad, so that the ore could easily be shipped here at small expense. The superior advantages possessed by Tex arkana as shipping point, the abun- dant raw material at hand and the low freight rates are said to appeal to manufacturing interests.

ELECTRICITY RATES HIGH
Texarkana Officials Surprised by Bill
 For Sewage and Disposal Plant.

Texarkana, July IA. = The City Councils on both the Arkansas and Texas sides of town are exercised over the unexpected high cost of elec- tric power for operating the sewage disposal plant, which started opera tions little more than month ago. Both city governments signed con- tracts with the Southwestern Gas and Electric Company to supply the sew age disposal plant, being joint af- fair. It was supposed the cost of this power would be about $100 month, or about $50 month for each side of town. The bill for June, however, was for $61S, or $309 for each side of town.
 Local officials who have investigat- ed say this charge is from 15 to 20 times higher than is charged in other cities of the country. including those in Texas. The Arkansas Council, at it's meeting Tuesday night appointed to confer with the company to see if some more satisfactory and reasonable adjustment of the matter can be made. The Texas side will take similar act ion.
 Mayor McLain of the Arkansas side says that the city cannot stand the charges made for power and that if some more equitable arrangement cannot be made with the company the city will have to put in plant of some kind and generate it's own cleo tricity. There is good prospect, however, according to some of the aldermen, that the rates may be ad- justed on satisfactory basis.

Arkansas Peach Crops Falls
 Off; 20 Per Cent of Normal

Little Rock, uly 14.-Arkansas' peach crop this year has been report ed to be almost a complete failure, due to late frosts in practically all parts of the state-yet one section will have shipped more than 800 cars of this years fruit by the middle of this month. This section is in the south western part of the state, radiatlng from the Bert Johnson peach orchard at Highland in Pike county.
 Arkansas ordinarily stands fourth in the production of peaches, but be- cause of the late cold spells of the past spring, the big producing sec tion, northwest Arkansas, will ship no peaches at all. The total crop this wear will be but one-fifth or 20 per cent of normal. The few growers in the southwestern part of the state, however, whose peaches escaped kill ing frosts and who gave their or chards careful attention, sprayed their trees and took other precau- tions, expect to realize handsome profit.
 The early peaches began to move to the market about June 1 and the Elberta shipments began on July l. The peach movement is expected to be practically complete by the middle of this month, while the biggest or chard, that at Highland, completed it's shipment of 485 cars last Saturday.
