NOT SELLING TO STANDARD.
JsSaings-HeyWOOd Oil Syndicate Has
Not Sold Holdings.

The Jennings TimeS-RecOrd Of last
Tuesday says:
There has been a rumor current all
dsy In Jennings that the Haywood had
orEould sell today, their holdings in
ths Jennings oil field to the Standard
.0lCo. This would mean the biggest
iesl yet in the history of the local
fsld as the holdings of the Jennings
HayEood Oil Syndicate have increased
10 value many times since its purchase
from the original owners.
When questioned as to the veracity
Of this report, Alba Haywood said:
There is nothing in this talk OF the
Jennings.Heywood Oil Co. selling to
the Standard Oil Co. We have never
even had any correspondence with the
Standard people regarding the sale OF
our holdings in the Jennings oil field.
We have been approached by several
parties and have set price, but not
70 the Standard. No deal has been
consumated."

SENTENCE DAY IN DISTRICT COURT
Sentences Range From One Year Dc
Five Years.

The final act of March jury term of
district conrt occurred this afternoon
when five men, three white and two
colored, who were convicted during
the criminal term of court, were sem
fenced to terms in the penitentiary
ranging from one to five year. The
only case left undisposed of was that
of Joe Pool, convicted yesterday OF
the larceny of S35, whose sentence was
deferred until his attorneys, Som
payrac & Sooner can prepare a bill
of exceptions.
Primus Moore, colored, convicted
of larceny, had nothing to say in
extenuation and was sentenced to
twelve months at hard labor in the
penitentiary.
Henry Easton, colored, for the
same offense, got the same sentence,
although he claimed to the court that
he was not guilty, and had nothing to
do with taking the goods away from
the St. Clair hotel where he was
employed.
Pierre Savant, convicted of alb
duction, was called on to face the
Judge. Judge Miller stated that he
saw no occasion for leniency in this
case. That the prisoner had brought
shame to his family and scandal to
the community, and deserved the
full punishment given by the law,
five years in the penitentiary.
Joe Davis, who was convicted OF
holding man up and robbing him
on Railroad avenue, said he had
never been in trouble before, but the
nudge thought this was one time too
many, and gave him the two years
sentence for larceny which is the
limit fixed by law.
The last called up was Ed Cline,
convicted of stealing q switchboard,
which he claims he found on the
race track at Hoo Hoo park. At
torney Joseph Moore, who was ap-
pointed to defend him made a plea
for light sentence. but judge
Miller told the prisoner that the
Jury had already shown him al
the consideration he was entitled
to. He got two year sentence ane

MRS. KNAPP ON RICE FLOUR.
Interesting Letter Received by Jen.
Mugs Firm.

|
The following letter which will be
of interest to many housekeepers was
received by Cary of Jennings last
week:
Dear Sirs:
Your letter requesting me to demon
strate the methods of bread making,
on the 1st of April in Jennings is at
! hand.
l assure you l have nothing to
demonstrate and can't think of going
into public with process | have in
volved. 1t is simply this: Rice flour
at present is not milled or bolted as
thoroughly as wheat -four, and the
hard particles need breaking up in
some way. | remember the old forms
of doing this when wheat was ground
by old style grist mills, also | remem-
bered that corn meal is much better
when scalded. So | took rice flour
and poured boiling water on it, just
enough to wet it and still have solid
mass, about two measures of water to
one of the flour and have it very hot.
I cover this and let it stand until cool
ed so as not to hurt the yeast. Use
little more yeast than for wheat flour.
So far | have used wheat to mold out
the loaves finding the rice -four makes
it course.
So you see gentlemen, there is
nothing to demonstrate, and any Of
your ladies in Jennings can make the
bread as we'll and better than |, il
they use this method. | also scale
the -four for gems or batter cakes.
Thanking you very heartily for this
attention, I wish to remain, Sin
cerely yours.
MRS. S. A. KNHPP.
Lake Charles, La, Mcb. p, 1905
P. S. Any thing I can do to assis
any of you or to advance this caus
consumption of rice or to assist tn
rice men, will very gladly do.

Farmers Should Organize.

Caldwell Waterman: Every other
business under the sun except farming
is organized. No other industry has
prices fixed for its production by the
buyers. Along conservative and
proper business lines organization
would bring revolution and improve
the condition of the farmers of this
country to an extent that they have
not yet dreamed Of.

ESCAPE CONY|CTS
 AGAIN IN CUS,vE One Convict Has Over Hundred.
 Years to Serve
CAUGHT IN WOODLAWN
Detective Patton of Birmingham Police Department Recognized Frank Smith as Negro Convicted
 of a Serious Crime.

Frank Smith. alias Eight Rock" with sentences aggregatng IA years in the penitentiary against him, and Crawford Race, both negroes, escaped from Pratt City Monday night and were captured at Woodlawn yesterday at a. m. by Of ficers Fowler and Poole.
 While the Woodlawn officials arrested the two convicts, the men were not iden- tined as state prisoners until Detective Robert Patton of the Birmingham police department saw them yesterday.
 After Smith and Race had secured their temporary liberty Monday night they journeyed to Noodlawn and were appre- hended by the two policemen mentioned. They were tried before Mayor Perryman and fined, in default of which they were sent to the city ehaingang.
 Officer Fowler was in Birmingham yes terday and while here called at police headquarters and conversed with Detec- tive Patton concerning the prisoners. The Woodlawn officer stated to the Brming- ham detective that he believed that the men were wanted elsewhere. Detective Patton received description of the es- capped conviets and left immediately for Woodlawn to identify them, if possible.
 Arriving at the prison in Woodawn the Birminfiham officer readily identified Smith as a man who was sentenced Jan uary 4. 1905, from Montgomery for life on a charge of criminal assault and who received an additional sentence on anoth- CT charge of a similar character.
 Race Is serving two-year term for a burglary committed in Wetumpka.
 When he realized that he had been re- cognized Smith made effort to escape. He ran from the building in which he was located into another building and made an attempt to get through win dow. Detective Patton was close behind him, and caught hold of his coat. This did not stop the fleeing negro, who easily slipped out of the coat, but he was not quick enough for the Birmingham officer, who grabbed and tussled with his prison CT The negro showed fight in his effort to gain liberty. Detective Patton was compelled to use his pistol as club to subdue him. He hit the negro on the head and prostrated him. Handcuffs were placed on Smiths wrists and in company with Race was brought to the ham jail and placed in prison.

 MT. Hughes read a statement showing the lapses on the industrial policies of the Prudential in 1904 to be s120, S9622, and in the ordinary policies. 900. MT. Hughes read figures from statement of the company showing that of the indus trial policies written in 1900, 72 per cent lapsed in five years. On the ordinary poli- cies of 1900. 5l per cent lapsed in i've years from issue. The senator said this is not fair showing as the same policy often lapses and is renewed many times in one year. The revivals are about 16 per cent of the lapses, he said
 The witness said the industrially in sured gets nothing but his insurance If he allows his policy to lapse within three years.

POPE ENJOINs PEACE
 IN RUSSIAN>POLAND
Important EncycIicaI Issued at the vatican-Massac of Jews
 Severely Condemned.

Rome, December 12.-The pope has is- sued a most important encyclical ad- dressed to the bishops of Russian Poland recommending the Poles to cooperate in the pacifcation of the empire, obey their rulers and avoid sedtion.
 The pope says he is preoccupied by the grave crisis in Poland and will try to contribute to it's complete pacification. Evils are affecting Poland and many du ties weigh upon the episcopacy and the faithful Among the evils are subversive parties which are spreading terror and causing damage. Although the good Poles are in the majority they lack en- ergy which renders possible the deplor- able excesses unworthy of a civilized people, such as massacres of Jews, which are condemned and detested by the evangelical law which imposes love of all indiscriminately."
 Among the remedies the encyclical sug- gests love of religion which teaches one to submit our passions to the law of God, subordinating human interests to the supernatural aims. During the troubles in Russia Catholics must form an earnest hope, wishing for peace and order. Recalling the Words or Leo XIII in his encyclical of 1894, the pontiff says;
 Be submissive to the rulers who exer- else power by the will of God. The Poles should sacredly protect their civil dis cipline and should abstain from taking part in. the plots of wicked men. From their gatherings no lseditious act should emanate and they should make every e1- fort to maintain peace and justice.
 Poles tO promote serious organization against supver- sives by working against strikes which damage incidentally the welfare or the people," and indicates that 1t is the duty of all good people to work towaros oo- tainins legally schools inspired by the Catholic spirit. The so-called scholastic strikes should be abstained from.
 The pope. in speaking of the ukase of concessions issued by Emperor Nicholas, says the people should enjoy the happi- ness extended to them in upholding the government.
