L0UISIANA'S EXTRA SESSION Gov. Blanchard Makes Recommendations. REFORMS IN STATE BANKING Wants State Tax Collectors Fees
 Cut in Half. Bills Were Introduced In Senate Exe. cutting All the Governors Rec

 ton of Pert Conditions.
REFORMS IN STATE BANKING

Baton Rouge, La. Nov. 11.--That tat, high fees now paid Louisiana State Tax Collectors would very nearly nay on the entire bonded debt of the State In forty years. was the leading point made in Governor Blanchard's message to the extra session of the General As sembly, convened today.
 State tax collection now costs sal3.- 900 annually. The Governor named tax collectorships which pay s1e,oo0 to 1$z0.0OO each per year in fees. He claimed these amounts were fin some instances six times as large as sala. rfes paid State collectors fin other States He cited Indiana and Texas as examples. He said that at Ehreve- port. La. tife State collector on sl61, 500 collections received ss.0s0 in fees, while the city collector. for identical work. received s1.s00.
 Governor Blanchard proposed that State collectors fees be cut in two He claimed that the present rate of 6 per cent fees is a survival of times when the State was materially so impover- ished that but small taxes were paid. The large fees paid many other State officials were also attacked in the mes sage.
 Reform in State banking methods was called for. the Governor declaring Under the present system the public funds become pawn to be played for in the game of politics"
 Under the present system, the Board of Liquidation of the State debt. has authority to name the bank or banks in which State money shall be depos- tied. and to fix the compensation paid the State by the favored institutions. The Governor recommended that Stats money be played in solvent banks In the State offering the highest compen- sation.
 Corporation regulation was touched upon fin general statement favoring more control by the State. Investiga~ ton of port conditions at New Orleans was recommended.
 Bills were introduced in the Senate. today executing all the Governors Tec- onmendations. Other bills introduced prevent intra-State relating. give the State Railroad Commission ni0ra power and prevent foreign corporations from carrying State suits t0 Federal courts

JUDGMENTS GIVEN
BASEBALL COMMISSION
 DECIDES CASES.
The New Orleans Club Gets Verdict of One Th0uaand Dollars Against the New York Na-
 tlOuale

Cincinnati, Nov. 1.-The National Baseball Commission held a meeting here today and passed upon several im- CTS equally as important. were either laid over or taken under advisement.
 The New Orleans Club of the South ern League was given a judgment of S1,0O0 against the New York National League Club for the latter's violation of it's contract to play out a certain number of games in New Orleans last spring.
 The New York team played two games there, but dispute arose and they refused to play the remaining games and the New Orleans club claimed 1t had been damaged. The Commission decided the case in favor of New Orleans, and fixed the damage at $1.000, which the New York Club is ordered to pay.
 The application of player James B. Sebring for reinstatement was decided adversely to lSebring.
 Sebring was sold by the Cincinnati National League team to the Chicago National League Club. but refused to join that club, and jumped to the Tri- State League which at that time was classed as an outlaw.
 Player J. w. Forester, of the Little Rock Club, of the Southern League was awarded S65 due him from the Detroit American League Club for ser vices rendered. The much expected decision in the case of William Camp bell did not materialize. The Com mission discussed the case and took it under advisement.
 A decision in favor of Campbell in this case would have been a direct blow at the National Association inas- much as the latter at It's recent meet ing in New York placed CampbelPs name on the perpetual blacklist It was stated tonight that Campbell had an excellent case. President Joseph oBrien. of the American Association, presented the claims of the Louisville Club in the Campbell case.

SLAIN BY AN
 AGED FARMER Tragedy on Publje Road Near Hoy.on. s POSSE WAs.,4rER COPELAND SerioI ~-harge Grows Out of the
 Homicide. Believed in Some Quarters that Arr rest Was Made . Pretext to
 Kill the Eighteen-Year-
 Old Boy.

Gadsden. Nov. 11.--(special )--Lewis Copeland. an 1s-year-old white youth. was shot and almost instantly killed by man named McHuskey. an aged farmer living near Howeiton this county, on the public road near that place on Sunday afternoon near sun- down.
 The weapon used was shotgun. the contents striking Copeland in the chest and ranging downward, coming out of the small of the back. McHus- key was member of a posse which was attempting to arrest Copeland.
 It appears that there was i'll feeling between McHuskey and Copeland. growing out of the attention bestowed by the latter on the step-daughter of McHuskey, young woman named Nettie Gray, grass widow. Tn an ef- fort to put stop to Copeland's at- tentions to his stepdaughter. war rant was sworn out some time ago against Copeland charging vagrancy. It was upon this warrant that young Copeland was being arrested when he was killed. Copeland was a member of a good family but had lived rather 6 fast life. The young woman who was in the buggy with Copeland when an attempt was made to arrest him, was not the one the posse expected to find him with, but was of a lewd char acter and was taken in charge and tried by Justice B. O. Lee and sent to the county jail here today.
 No other special notice has been received at the sheriff's office and there is no notification that Mcffuskey has been arrested. It Is thought here that McEIuskey made the arrest of young Copeland as 8 pretext to kill him, as there Is no indication that the young man attempted any resistance. when he was told to consider himself under arrest. It is alleged that McHuskey shot too quick for resistance.

Architectural Hon0rM.
 New York Nov. I1.--The doom of the modern sky Iscraper has probabIy been sounded in this city by drastic regula- tions which have been adopted unani- mously by the Building Code Commits sion. These regulations provide that after January 1 next, no new building shall be over 250 feet in height.
 The new law is aimed to stop the fe- verish race for the construction of high buildings That q limit ynust hA fixed somewhere has been the advice of mo- ted fire underwriting experts and Fire Chief Croker himself has sounded the warning. The fire insurance interests have feared that the forty-one story Singer building might be followed next by a ffty-story building.
 That the new regulation will be passed by the Board of Estimate and the Aldermen before 1t finally becomes a law. is regarded as likely. since sev- eral of the city's best known builders who are members of the Commission. voted for 1t.

 Mahony City. Pa, Nov. 11.--AIive and unhurt. but in darkness that will never be lifted, Michael McCabe, miner, is awaiting certain death by starvation, 500 feet below the surface of the earth in the Drapier colliery here.
 While McCabe was at work, he fired a blast that blew away one of the mine pillars. He fled in the wrong direG- ton and got into a blind shaft. A fellow workman managed to get out of that wing of the colliery before the roof caved in.
 The mine broach extends to the sur face, where 1t turns sixty feet wide, right in front of McCabe's home. where his wife and six children vainly hope for his rescue. Mine officials say 1t may be a year before it will be possi- ble to reach the place where the man is shut up.
