CONFEDERATE PENSIONS
Movement in Mississippi to Strike Off
Fraudulent Names.
,snccio, Disnatcb to The Times.)

NEW ORLEANS, LA, Sptember 22.-
A State convention of pension commits
sioners has been called to meet at jack
son, Miss, to see what can be done TO
settle the pension problem. Confederate
pensions in Mississippi are paid pro rata,
a gross sum being voted by the Ieglsia-
ture Last year the pro rata allowance
became so small that most of the vet
Grams got only a fraction over 81
month. The Legislature at its meeting
in January increased the appropria ton
thirty-thre per cent. but the new roll Of
pensioners shows a similar increase and
the veterans will again get only s.
apiece.
The Attorney General has decided that
no name can be stricken from the pen
sion rolls by the county pension boards
for any cause. and that they can only
report to the grand jury cases where
fraudulent pension claims have been pre-
sented The convention will arrange
some plan for purSing the pension roll Of
the State and preventing any fraudelent
names from getting on it.
The convention has the endorsement OF
State Pension Commissioner Cole. who
believes that the pension evil can be
cured by stirring up public opinion and
getting the county boards to purge the
rolls and report all frauds to the grand
Jury. In some of the counties the num-
Der of Confederate veterans has increased
over fifty per cent, as compared with
last year.

ANT |-SALOON MEN
CHANGE METHODS
Organization, Hitherto Only of
Business Nature, Now to Be
Social and FraternaI.

A revolutionary change in the methods
of work of the Anti-Saloon League of
Virginia will result in the transforma ton
OF that body, hitherto q strictly business
organization, into a temperance order,
modelled somewhat after raternal socie-,
ties with the secret feature left off. The
business side of the work will by no
means be neglected, but the social. the
literary and the musical features will be
added
It has been the policy of the League
up to this time to effect the formation
of branch leagues here and there in diff
ferent sections of the State, for the pur-
pose OF securing the enforcement of the
liqour laws and of opposing the grant
ing of liquor licenses. The work was
purely of a business character, and as
such did not appeal to many people who
might otherwise have affiliated with the
League.
The Executive Committee of the League
has now determined upon a complete
change of method. This matter will be
set before the temperance workers in the
next issue of the Christian Federation,
and already instructions have been is
sued to all those now in the field. The
doors will be thrown open, as it We're.
and branch leagues will at once be
formed in every section of the State.
They will now be social as we'll as bust
ness organizations. will hold regular
meetings, will go through a fixed ritual
and will otherwise work after the fash
ion of the different fraternal societies in
Virginia Literature and rituals are now
being prepared. and will be sent out as
soon as possible. The Anti-Saloon League
will become q, great temperance order
There will, however, be no secrecy. The
meetings will all be open to the public
By this radical change in its plan the
League hopes to enroll in it's member
ship hundreds, or rather thousands, of
persons who would not be attracted by
the mere business ifeaturet Still TINS
business work will not cease 1t will, in
fact, be pushed harder than ever, and the
League hopes more effectively as a re-
suit Of the increased membership.

LOUISIANA OIL
FIELDS OPENED UP.
Powerful Gushers Developed.
Southern Portion Of State Said
to be UnderIaid With Oil.

Especial Dispatch to The Times.)

Especial Dispatch to The Times.)
NEW ORLEANS, September 22-Thc
most important event since the discovery
of oil at Beaumont Tex, little more
than a year ago, was the bringing in
on Wednesday of n genuine gusher at
Anse-la-Butte, ST. Martin Parish, La.
1t was known that oil existed there,
but until the gushing of the Haywood
we'll on Wednesday, it had not been de-
veloped that 1t existed in paying quanti-
ties. The Haywood gusher threw a
solid stream of oil of excellent quality
fully twenty-five feet above the derrick.
This new Louisiana gusher is located
near Breaux Bridge, a small town of ST.
Martins Parish, right in the center of
Southern Louisiana more than one hun
dred miles east of the Beaumont field,
and consequently little more than one
hundred miles from New Orleans
It has been shown that the whole OF
Southwestern Louisiana is undertake with
oil, as powerful gushers have been
brought in in Jennings and Welsh IN
Calcasieu Parish. and there are numerous
indications of oil in Acadia. Lafayette
and ST. Landry Parishes. It is there
fore, confidently believed that the Louis
lana oil fields will prove more extensive
than those of Texas.
For many years it has been known
that oil existed in small quantities in
various parts OF the south central por-
ton of the State, and small wells have
been opened and spasmodically utilized
in the past. The recent rich discoveries
have started a general prospecting move
ment, and great results are looked for.
The Southern Pacific Railway has enter
ed into an agreement with owners Of
tracts Of land along its line to sink
number of wells within the next year.
An important feature of the develop
.lent of the oil fields at Anse-la-Butte, is
ine fact that it is right in the richest
sugar district of Louisiana. and, con-
seouently, will provide cheap and
abundant fuel for many sugar factories.

Is that the Reading. being by general
