 Funds.

Texarkana, Oct 23.-In all proba- bility the first prosecution of an offic- Ter of a National Farm Loan Associa- tion under the farm loan act in the United States for alleged misappro- priation of funds and illegal charges for loans took place here today be- fore J. w.

TARIFF DESTROYS MARKET
United State Cannot Sell Without Buy
 ing. Herman SOlOE Says.

Berlin, Oct. 21-The tariff of the United States, coupled with the de- mand for payment of war loans, threatens to drive Europe to destitu- ton, declared Herr Gothein, former minister of finance and aI present Democratic leader ill the Reichstag, discussing the new tariff policy of the United States today.
 If the United States does not ac- cept European industrial products in payment he said, "she will lose Flu rope as a buyer. Such goods as Flu rope cannot dispense with will be ob- tained by other lands, which will take the products off European industry in exchange.
 Europe will emancipate herself from America, even in cotton. The United States must one day realize there is an economic solidarity of the peoples of all lands, which cannot be encroached upon without paying the penalty, and further, that a creditor state cannot pursue a policy of isola- tion if it does not wish to make it's debtors incapable of making pay ments.''
 Herr Gothein said that while the new tariff law is better than the old schedule, the advantage is largely il- lusory, on account of the elastic pro- visions empowering the president to extend restrictions

PAVING, PR0GRESSES
All Principal Streets al TeNarkana
 TeX.) ~G0n to Be Covered.

Texarkana. Oct 21.-Work on the principal residence streets not already paved on the Texas side Of the city is progressing rapidly, and within the next few weeks will be practically completed, and then all the important streets of that side vii afford un- broken driveways for autoists and others. Residence building is keep ing up with the street building, and many beautiful new homes recently have been built or are now in process of construction. Paving work on the Arkansas side has been at a standstill for the last three years, because of
 litigation between the improvement districts and the company which con tFacted to build the streets. The Arkansas side began it's street paving
 before Texas started, but the work was discontinued when about half completed for the reason above given. The trouble still is in the courts and lit IS probleMatical when it will be
 settled and the streets finished. Meantime. the contrast between the street conditions on the two sides of the city attracts much attention and causes much discussion.

GIBBONS IS VICTOR
Tommy Is Awarded Decision Over His Fellow Townsman, Billy AIiske, at St. Paul.

St. Paul, Minn., Dec. 16.--Tommy Gibbons of St. Paul won the referees decision over his fellow townsman, Billy Miske, in ten round boxing contest here last night. Gibbons led most of the way.
 It was distinctly a Gibbons vic tory, although Miske had flashes in which he showed advantage. He was unable to stand off his lighter oppo- nent for any considerable time. Their street clothes weights were: Miske, 196 pounds; Gibbons, 1S2h.
 From the outset it seemed apparent that only a knockout could give Miske the victory. which is considered here stepping stone to a chance at the worlds championship in contest with Dempsey. The decision of the referee and two ringside judges was unanimous.
 Gibbons had a marked advantage in at least seven rounds. Miske showed best in the third, getting draw. In the fourth round Gibbons shade was not pronounced, and one of the lat ter rounds was narrow margin af- fair

MENTIONED
 ID HEAD UNION
Giants Star Indelder, However,
 Says He Won't Accept Place

New York, Dec. 16.-Frank Frisch of the Giants is one of the two players nominated for the presidency of the new players union, according to John J. McGraw, who said yesterday that he had seen the list of officers put up for election this year. George Burns ex-Giant and now with the Cincinnati Reds, is Frisch's rival for the position, and nominees for vice. president are Jake Daubert of Cincinnati and Jac- aues Fournier of the St. Louis Card iDals.
 Frisch Will Decline
 Informed that he had been nomin- ated, Frisch declared that he would not accept the honor.
 This is news to me-" the Fordham Flash told reporters Nobody has notified me of the nomination. Of course am willing to stick with the other players, but I would not consent to be head of the organization or any other officer in it. I have no kick to make against the Giants or MT. Mo Graw; present conditions suit me, but I felt when I joined the union that l ought to support the other players"
 McGraw said that he had seen the names of Cy Williams of the Phillies and Arthur Fletcher, new manager Of the same club, on the list of nom- inees; also that of Earl Smith, the Giants catcher. McGraw delivered a sharp attack against the union, assert ing that it was unnecessary among major league players.
 II can see the need for such an organization in the minors" he de- clared, but for the life of me l can't reason out why big league players should want to band together. They are being treated better than at any other time in the history of baseball. But minor leaguers, especially those in circuits which refuse to allow the draft, might get together and demand that they be allowed chance to rise in their profession. Major league per- formers, getting fabulous salaries, are nothing less than ingrates whey they enroll in such an association"
 McGraw is Angry
 McGraw is known to be angered by the fact that many of his world s champion Giants have become mem bers of the union. His salary list is one of the biggest, if not highest. in either league, and McGraw resents the fact that his men find it necessary to or ganize for their own protection.
 The absence of American leaguers ,r tha ahoye list of nominees may be- explained by the fact that Raymond Cannon, the Milwauke attorney who organized the union did nearly all hia missionary work among the National league players. The American athletes have been welcomed when they have applied for membership. but no at tempt has been made to recruit them.

Charter Oak Team of Hartford Is
 Victor in Pinial Match

A little black fellow known as ''jinx," continues on the trail of New Britain bowling teams. particularly when the locals are pitted against n team from Hartford Last night at Rogers Recreation alleys the Charter Oak team of Hartford met a selected quintet of local stars and at the end of the third game, the visitors had piled up a one pin margin, enough to give them the $50 purse, which was the prize offered. The Rogers team got away to a fine start, win ming the first game in a decisive man. ner. The Hartford pin topplers were not to be denied. however, and they managed to keep plugging away in ! manner that brought them the scant victory.

SOLDIER ORGANIZATIONS
 TO DIVIDE s8O. .0O0

New York. Dec. 16.--Those interested in the various chari- ties in this city are still in sus- pense over the division of the receipts, amounting to $i20,000 from the second game of the worlds series between the Giants and the Yankees last Oc- tober, a game which ended in a tie.
 II Is safe to say that the own CTS of the two teams know more about the needs of the various charitable organizations just now. than anybody else in the wide city. Applications to be considered in the distribution have come in by the score.
 One more step was taken yes terday. following a conference in which Col, Rupppert of the Yankees. Charles Stoneham of the Giants and Commissioner Landis took part. The pool was split into three parts.
 Fifty per cent. or $60,000 will go to Commissioner ,Landis for distribution among soldier or ganizations as he will select.
 The other 50 per cent will be divided equally between the two New York clubs for distribution among local charities.
 In other words the New York Giants will play Santa Claus with $30,o00 and the New York Yankees will play the Fairy Godmother with the other ESQ., 900.
 Commissioner Landis said that he had not yet decided what soldier organization would get the $60.000 he holds.
