was convoled immediately after the shooting, failed to learn the cause of the shooting. Its verdict is simply that Dr. Aldrioh was killed by Judge Favrot
 Judge Favrot is 3S years of age, and is regarded as one of the most brilliant young men of Louisiana. In the recent democratic primaries he defeated for the nomination s. M Robertson, who had been representative in Congress for twen- ty years. Judge Favrot is married. as was also Dr. Aldrlch. The latter had several children.
 Before the shooting Judge Favrot had been walking along the street chatting with friends, but left the party opposite the hotel and entered the doors of the Raymond building Almost immediately those outside heard three shots. Judge FaVrot emerged from the building with a revolver in his hand.
 Dr. Aldrich was found near the entrance with two bullet holes in his neck. In front pocket of his trousers there was found a revolver which apparently had not been fired. District Attorney Wax. one of the witnesses to the shooting, asked Judge Favrot why he shot pr. Aldrich, and the judge replied that he did it for sufficient reasons. He started for the jail to surrender himself. and was met on the way there by the sheriff.
 After the coroners inquest Judge Favrot made preparations to spend the night in jail. He still maintained silence as to the cause of the shooting. and Dr. Aldrich's friends did not clear up the mystery.
 Judge Favrot's election yesterday was almost unanimous. Only nine votes were cast against him in Baton Rouge.

San Francisco, November 1.-The re- turns from the interior of the state are coming in very slowly and 1t is yet inn possible to give exact figures, except from small precincts and cities where voting machines were used. The republi- can state central committee claims that Gillett has been elected governor by at least 10000 plurality oyer Bell, democrat. and considerably more over Langdon. the Independence league candidate. At dem ocratic headquarters this claim Is not admitted and it is asserted that when full returns are received they will show that Bell has been successful by small mar gin.
 As an indication of how the vote is running. returns from S22 precincts out of 2l74 in the state give Gillett G,S23, Bell 37 942. and Langdon 2O,22l votes.

New Order Compels Off

POLICY OF GENERAL SHARPE
Not Only Must They Know to Do It,
But Must Actually
Do II.

Henceforth. being an army officer,
man Is expected 20 know how to cook
not only TO know how, but 10 do II, and
do IL right and well. Other men, not
being army officers, may continue to
ask their prospective brides II they can
cook. but on the army oficer the tables
have been turned.
In line with a new policy OF General
Sharpe, Commisary General Of the
Army, every officer IN the subsistence
department will be ordered at one time
or another TO do time at one OF the
three schools Of the army for bakers and
cooks. Thus VIII the officers be taught
10 be first class cooks.
Must ATTEND Cooking Schools.
General Sharpe holds that every officer
OF the army should serve a period Of OBJ
servation and instruction at the cook
ing schools. TO the end that company
commanders may fully understand the
method Of preparing food for soldiers IN
the field IS well as In garrison.
The work Of the cOmmissary officers
Ia this respect has attained great i'm
portance. II Is even possible that a
fourth school may soon be established
az the large military post at Manila. so
that officers on duty In the Philippines
NAV have the opportunity Of learning
how food should be cooked. and how
bread should be properly baked.
Advantages Of New System.
The system OF detailing line officers
for duty as subsistence officers, is cal
culated 10 introduce into the line a
knowledge Of army baking and cooking.
OF course. for after a tour Of duty Of
four years duration, the detailed COM
missdry officer returns 70 his troop
or company with the important advan-
taRe of experience in the subsistence
department
