TeIegrnphic Correspondence Between
 Blanchard and shaw.

TeIeGrnphtc COFrespoH0ence betWeeA Blanchard and shaw.
 | Washington, Aug 5-Secretary shaw this afternoon received the following telegram from Governor Blanchard of | Louisiana:
 Mississippi patrol boats for ten l days past have been invading Louisi- ana waters and jurisdiction. molesting our fishermen. stopping. driving in and | chasing our boats. They kept rail- way drawbrtdge at Rigolets closed for week, except as they saw 1t to per init it opened. Bridge entirely on Louisiana soil. Sent force to seixe or expel the boats. Found a boat at the mouth of Louisiana Canal connects ing river with Lake Borgne. Seized her and arrested crew and will prose- cute latter in courts at Rigolets. Found Mississippi boat Grace. She had been principal offender. When about to seize her she claimed to be in ser vice of United States Marine Hospital Service. Asked for credentials. She had none, but said would go get them. She returned with some kind Of au- thority from pr. Wasdin. If you have authorized this I must submit. but it is pretty hard to have Mississippi boats invade our territory committing such acts of trespass and shield them selves behind authority of Federal Government In all the communica- tions that have passed between Gov- ernor Vardaman. Wasdin and myself was never informed the Grace was commi sioned by your department. I asked Wasdin a few days ago the Ji- rect question whether the Mississippi armed patrol boats were under his or ders. He answered he had not sent any armed boats into our waters ex- cept Winona. Then was the time for him to have informed me Grace was under his orders. whether she was armed or not. Looks like Mississippi has been using authority of Federal Government for depredations on Lou isiana protest against all this. Hope you will order investigation and give the opportunity to submit proof of wi- nona and Grace's acts of trespass. Please wire me if am to regard Grace as in service Of your department
 The secretary sent the following re- ply
 T have ordered Captain Ross. chief of the revenue cutter service, to New Orleans to take charge of the revenue cutter service there under general di- rection of public health and marine hospital service. Officers of both branches of the service deny any vio- lations of law. Now that the whole subject of quarantine has been by the authority of the Governor of each State turned over to the Federal Government, there need not be any fear of further complications. Meantime I will have all charges investigated.'

WILLIAMS'S OPPOSITION
REVIVAL OF TALK REGARDING
 MINORITY LEADER.
Enmity Toward Mississippian Appears to Emanate from Democrats of the East-virRinIa Dele
 gation Divided.
Advertiser Bureau, 1925 G St. N. w..
 

:. 1925 G St, N. w.,
 Washington, Aug. 5. There has been a revival of the talk of opposition among Democrats to the reelection of Hon. John Sharp Will Hams as minority leader of the House. It appears to emanate from Eastern Democrats. reports to that effect be- ing published In Virginia newspapers and the main reason given for oppos- ing Mir. Williams appears to be that Virginia members have been dissatis- fled with the way Mir. Williams made committee assignments for the minor ity. s:
 Representative Harry H. Maynard of the Norfolk district, who arrived here today from the Pacific coast said he, for one was satisfied with the present leadership and added he had just had talk with a member from the State who was still for MT Williams, but that the delegation was divided, some of them seeming to desire a change.

binds its parts together.-Rev. DIR. Harry

how many bays and inlets there arei Each

were separate and distinct from every
other. And yet all are one with the
great ocean that sweeps them all with the
tides. There are countless forms of Gre
alton. We give them separate names al
though each were separate and GistinCt
from every other. And yet all are at one
with the divine presence that sweeps into
them and fills them as full each can

And then still farther up is the glorious

CONTROL OF THE ERIE.
A Clever Coup Which Thwarted Harrf-
mans Plan to Acquire Control.

New York. Feb. 4.-WalI street has
heard that ]. P. Morgan and James J.
Hill have gained control of the Erie
railroad, thereby thwarting E. H. Har-
riman's plan to buy the majority of the
stock. Three weeks ago A. A Hous-
man, prominent Wall street broker,
sailed for London. Wall street was
puzzled by his sudden departure. The
mystery was solved by a private cable
gram to a prominent brokerage house.
which announced that Mr.. Housman
acting for MeSSrS Morgan and Hill,
had bought options on all the Erie
stock held in London. It is estimated
that more than loo, 900 shares of Erie
are held in London. All this is now
held subject to the demand of Mr.
Morgan and his associates In addi-
ton to this, Mr.. Morgan was the prin-
cipaI buyer in the recent advance of
Erie, and it is estimated in Wall street
that he gathered IN 100000 shares.
The recent purchases i'm London and
New York are believed to give him
undisputed control.
In this Wall street credits Morgan
with the cleverest financial coup ex-
ecuted in many years. Morgan has an
ticipated the plan of his enemy and
has snatched a valuable property
from his hands. And to add further
to the success of the COUP the stock
was bought at it's normal value instead
of at the spectacular prices that often
develop in a fight for control. During
the life of the voting trust Morgan
held control of the Erie. When that
contract expired he sought to have it
renewed, but found that Hartman had
bought enough stock to oppose him.
Recently Hartman began buving
Erie stock. with the idea of controlling
the road and ousting Morgan from the
management. The story goes that
when Morgan learned of this he gave
Housman the secret commission to go
to London, at the same time buying All
the Erie stock offered in New York.
