Fort Worth, Ark, July 18. The
lack of ammunition forced the cessa

ing union miners and mine guards at
the Mammoth Vein Coal Company's
mines at Prairie creek yesterday. The
authorities think it remarkable that
only four were wounded, as more
than a hundred shots were fired in
the battle which preceded the dyna
miting and burning of $200,000 worth
of surface work by three miners.
The union miners declare the trou
ble was started by the shooting up of
their camps by mine guards.

Washington, July 17. Democrats
of the Senate banking and currency
committee who favor confirmation of
Thomas . P. Jones, of Chicago, as a
member of the Federal reserve board
have urged him to answer the re
port of the majority of the commit
tee which opposed his confirmation
on the ground that he is a director
of the International Harvester Com
pany, which is under indictment for
violation of the Sherman act.
Senators Hollis, Sharoth, Lee and
Pomerene, who voted to recommend
Mr. Jones' confirmation, sent a tele-.
gram and forwarded a copy of the
majority report though it has not
been released by the Senate. Mean
while the minority report will be de
layed and this' will postpone Senate
action on the nomination.
There was no oflkial action in the
Jones case during the day. Neither
did the banking committee hear

Chicago, July 17. An injunction
restraining the Chicago butter' and

butter, eggs and other products was
issued today by Federal Judge Lan-
dis. '
In a suit filed some montha ago
the government charged that by pub
lishing prices the board artificially,
created prices higher than the mar
ket warranted, and violated the Fed
oral law prohibiting all acts in re
straint of trade.
The suit is similar to the recent
action against the ,; Elgin Board of

of a decree directing that actual
sales alone should be quoted and no
attempt to fix prices be made.

Recapture Haitien Towns From Re

Gen. Leon Duque, with " a govern

Washington, July v 18. Approxi
mately $206,000,000 was spent last
year on public ' roads in the ' Unl
ted States, according to statistics
prepared by the U S. Department of
Agriculture. In 1914 the total was
only $79,000,000. In nine years,
therefore, the increase has been over.
250 per cent. '
This awakening on the part of the
country to the importance of good
roads has, experts say, been due in
great measure to the . principle of
state aid to counties and other lo
cal communities. New Jersey began :
the movement in 1891 when it pass-
ed its State , Highway Law. Massa-.'
chuBettes and Vermont followed a
year later, but for the most part the
other States were slow to move.' In
1904 only fifteen had state highway
departments; to-day there are only
six that have not. In 1913 the indi
vidual States appropriated a total of
$38,753,088 to supplement local expenditures.
The value of this state aid is, how
ever, not to be measured by the fig
ures alone,' for the bulk of this
money comes, and always must nme,
from :the counties and townships.
Thus, in 1912, the cash, outlay by
counties,, districts and townships, -was
$137,493,985. . Complete figures
for 1918 are not available, but it la
safe to, estimate the sum at approxi
mately $151,000,000. To , this must
be added some , $15,000,000 to repre- i
sent the value of the labor contribut
ed instead of cash in districts where
this practice prevails. Last, year,
therefore, local . communities contri
buted, in round numbers, one hundred
and sixty-six millions of dollars, as
against appropriations from - state
treasuries of $38,755,088. ,
