^B WANTS BERTH
||||Bp' City of Roses Wants to Regain
|gp|||f£ Place in the Southern
League.
t Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Sept. 14.—The
*ans °f Little Rock are putting
1||||||1l on f°°t a movement to regain
aBmmjB the berth the city lost in the
Southern League, when they
'^£r §sold out to Mobile two years
PHBL ago. The city is anxious to have
HHB. baseball after this long dearth.
HHf and it is certain that the neces
mmf ■ sary funds will be forthcoming
Bill' if the opening c'aii be found. The
raBp recent change in the Mobile sit
HB uatioii seems to eliminate that
f ‘ city as a possible seller, and now
B the dissatisfaction that exists
m| at Montgomery appears to offer
B about the best chance for the
Hr Little Rock club to head in.
m President Kavanaugh of the
|r Southern League does not dis
f_ cuss the prospects of Little
Rock's entrance in to the circuit,
but it is known that he would
use all his influence, so far as it
could be done legitimately, to
. bring his home town back into
the league. The association still
has the money which it received
p for the franchise, and the mer
chants and business men are
ready and anxious to add to this
whatever may be necessary to
insure a-strong team for the
season of 1912.

No School Funds
For Hook Worm.
• Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Sept. 14.—School
boards cannot use school funds
for the purpose of fighting the
Hook worm disease. This is the
opinion that has been given the
State Board of Health by As-1
sistant Attorney General Rector
upon request.
“I beg to advise you that I am
of the opinion that under the
statutes of this state a school
board would have no authority
to appropriate school funds for
the purpose of treating the in
dividual pupil found to be af
flicted with the hook worm dis
ease,” he writes. “The law
gives no more authority in the
matter of the hook worm dis
ease than it would in any other
contagious, nuecuous, or com
municable disease. I am of the
opinion that our laws do not
provide any means whereby
money belonging to the school
district may be used for the
' purpose of defraying the neees
i sary expenses of giving medical
treatment to any of the pupils.
Tre law presumes that the pa
rents or guardians will attend
to this important matter. Of
course, in the case of any pau
per or indigent pupil the county
court would have authority to
expend some of the funds appro
priated for the care of paupers
in furnishing medical treatment
for afflicted indigents.”
