by somc negroes. which resulted In the killing OF two
white and four negroes. two OF the latter being
hung; some few were wounded, and these constitute
the only well authenticated casualties
THE MILITARY INTERFERE
The military refused to interfere, and no further de-
tails have a. yet been received by either the State
authorities or the press

WASHINGTON Nay 49, 1915
Governor Kellogg Of Louisiana, remains here and
has been running for days anxousy to the Attorney
General and the President trying to persuade them to
order the OF federal troops In tho State He tells
fearful tales Of outrages and enorccs them by private
teegraphic dispatches describing bloody scenes but
he is not believed TO DO meeting with much success
The President and Attorney General have SO far do
cned TO grant his request and he has told that
whatever Is done by
FEDERAL POWER
must DO done in tho manner prescribed by the con-
stituton This 10 be hint to him that II there
such grave disorders in the State he assers no
the Govcrnor) ought be here but the ground
whore he would be able to for himself and
and If necessary OF the State forces Of which
he is Commander in Chief and which, under the Loui-
siana constitution, he has full power to II

coNPLErE FAILURE
here Nobody has got excited over except Kellogg and
there Is . suspicion among republicans, well
democrats thatitis mainly, ifnot altogether political
trick Of the Louisiana republican r'nR whose members
in desperate straits because promising effort is
making down there to either reform the republican
party in the State form new and Independent
party headed by honest and substantial citizens which
would leave the republican ring high and dry and
without chance OF further plumber. How far Governor
Kellogg, with the help Of Messrs Casey and Packard,
may be able, by persistent effort, to work upon
PRESIDENTS FExLIxGs,
II s not possible to TELL but is plain that the leading
republicans here almost unanimously object further
federal interference in Louisiana except case OF
actual revolution and accordance with the or
the constitution and the forms Of law There is an
impression that the people Of the North do regard
with favor the continual Of federal troops by Gov
ernors OF Southern States, because there have been
VIGOROUSLY grave and
VERY FREQUENT ABUSES
Of such interference prominent republican said to-
day that II Governor Kellogg would 60 to his post or
duty and do what he to do when he assumed the
Govcrnorship he would think better OF him. and he
suspected there would, in that case DO no more talk
about the necessity for federal interference
"when there IL trouble and riot in State said he,
'sthe Governor ought II be there and wandering
about the country buttonhong politicians Wash
