Merchant Marine Needed.

The need of an American merchant
marine as an auxiliary to the navy,
formed the principal topic of discus
sion in the house of representatives
during the consideration of the urgent
deficient appropriation bill. The debate
was participated In by Mr.. Littlefeld
of Maine, who questioned the legality
of the provisions of the bill appropri-
ating 81, 100000 to supply deficiency
for coal for the navy caused by the
transfer of the battleship fleet from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. He criti-
cised congress for its failure to make
appropriations for merchant marine.
His remarks elected from Mr.. Fitz-
geald of New York the charge that
the Republican party was responsible
for that condition, while Mr.. Sherley,
Kentucky, maintained that the lack
of a merchant marine, ga national
disgrace" was due to Republican pol.
icies.

Urgent Deficiency Bill.

The urgenSdefciency appropriation
bill was passed by the house. The total
amount carried by it is $23,64, $50 or
$401 900 less than as reported by the
committee. The largest single reduc!
ton was that of 100000 in the cloth
ing fund Of the army. When the ses-
sion was resumed, only few pages
of the bill remained to be disposed of.
Included in these, was a provision Of
the appointment of "a additional po-
licemen for the new house office
building. Chairman Tawney urged the
provision because of the necessity Tor
protecting such costly governmnt prop
erty, and "of guarding the reputa-
ton and honor of the members. ;" Mr..
Mann, Illinois, opposed the provision
and it was stricken out on a point
of order after considerable discussion.

The Rice Situation.

Louis C. Naisawald of New York,
leading rice broker spent two days
in Crowley on his way home from his
annual trip through the Rice Belt, Dis
cussing the rice situation, Mr.. Nalsa-
wald said: 1.-The statistical position
of rice is stronger today than | have
seen it before in years; in fact, it Is
stronger than l have ever seen it be-
fore. Without bothering about what
the crop was, it is certain that there
is not enough rice on hand in Louisi-
ana and Texas to last to the new
crop. There can be no doubt that the
market will be entirely cleaned up be-
fore uly, and We shall enter the new
rice year without a pocket of rice on
hand. When we remember that our
consumption has been steadily inereas-
ing, and is already greater than the
production of any one year, with the
possible exception of 1903, 1t Is APP
parent that the prospects for good
prices next year are very bright. The
Texas mills are pretty well cleaned up,
and / find that the same can be said
of Louisiana. Little has been done. in
either state toward preparing for the
new crop. There has been "A little

blowing in cas- Texas, but so far as
l can learn none in louisiana This
is because of the wet weather. Texas
zas had as much rain as Louisiana,
but the Texans are doing their blowing
to some extent in the mud. The rice
industry looks to me to be in fine
shape his year. There seems to be
no possible chance of the production
end being overdone, and the marketing
end is in the .strongest position IN
years.

was held by the court to be danger
Gus lunatic, and was whirled away to
the state hospital for the criminal in

1t was a quick transition from the
dingy little cell in the Tombs, which
has been the young mans home for
more than eighteen months, to the
white bedded wards of the big asylum
tucked away on the snow covered,
sloping banks of the Hudson, fifty
miles above the city. The verdict cane
after twenty-five hours of waiting
and when every one connected with
the case had abandoned all hope of IN

Four hours after the foreman's lips
had framed the words, "Not guilty"
with the accompanying insanity
clause, Thaw, protesting he was sane,
was on his way to Mstteawan. A lit
tie after nigbtfall, he had been re-

tention "until discharged by due
course of law"
No more unwilling patient ever
made a journey to state institution.

Of June 25, 1905, had the young Pitts
burg millionaire ever held the thought
that he would see the inside Of that
famous prison, and he needed it not.
The first thrill of the words Of ac-

the court room and with the lack Of
grace of action which always had char
acterized his movements, he awkward
ly almost haughtily, bowed his ac-
acknowledgements to the twelve jury
men as they were discharged by the
court. A smile played about his pal
lid features and there was every rea-
son to believe that he was entirely
pleased with the outcome.
1t was after he had heard the words
of Justice Bowling, committing him to
Matteawan on the ground that his re-
lease, in the opinion of the court,
would endanger the public safety and
after the elation of the verdict had
died away, that Thaw rebelled.
He commanded his attorneys imme-
diately to sue out writ Of habeas

he was sent away to the institution

1t Is now possible to give a reason
ably accurate idea of the maJoritles
obtained by the several State candl-
dates.
Returns have been received from ev
cry parish in the state on the COVER

erably over 100000 votes were east.

Wilkinson of 1850.
In the contest for Lieutenant Gov
eronr the fight in the second prima-
~ will be between Senator Lambre-
mont and Mr.. Bailey. Lambremont
leads iwth 81, 059, with Bailey d
close second with 30,996 and Judge
Lawrason distanced with 1908. II
Bailey had received anything like an
even break in the city, he would have
led with a good margin to spare.
For Auditor, the present ineum-
bent. Mr.. Capdevielle has a comfort
able margin over his two opponents,
who are running so close together,
that it will require teh official re-
turns to determine just which one of
Them shall be in the second primary.
Mr.. Capdevielle received "a total of
33,53S, against 22,606 for Frazee and
z2,327 for Smith.
For Secretary of State, Mr.. Michel
wins easy, and in both the city and
the county by overwhelming majority
ever his young opponent from her
vile. Michel received 1907 votes of
Hebert's 29,S19.
There is much interest in the race
for Attorney General. and it looks
as if Judge Guion will have to con-
test with Judge Coco in the second
primary. Judge Guion has atotal OF
1864, while Coco is second with pa
$50 and Peasants close up with b.
3S1. More complete returns from
North Louisiana may enable Mr..
Peasants to nose out the big man
from Avoyelles.
The race between Crandell and
Grace for the Land 0ffic is going to
b interesting. Colonel Crandell has re
Iinqiushed the lead to him en- the more
complete returns now at hand, and 1t
looks as though the Colonel will stay
in second place until the second prima-
ry decides the contest. Grace pull
ed up wonderfully in the country and
has total of 3O,S5S, against Gran
aall's 1861. tewart is distanced,
having only 1929.
