Says Latter Knows Little About Pub
lie Questions.

Philadelphia, Sept. 16.-In lengthy
interview on the train between Balti-
more and Philadelphia William j.
Bryan made hot retort to Mr.. Taft's
statement of Monday. He accuses Mr..
Taft of lodging and says that Mr.. Taft
knows as little about my record as
he does about the public questions
which he is attempting to discuss"
He denied that he wants govern
ment ownership of railroads, but says
he does want regulation. He charges
that Mr.. Taft made mistake OF $114,-
600 900 In his estimate of the cost or
imperialism.
Mr.. Bryan spoke in the afternoon at
Washington Park, pleasure resort on
the New Jersey side of the Delaware
river below Philadelphia. He then
went to Trenton, where he spoke IN

gains were made almost entirely in
the rural districts, showing generally
the popularity of Mr.. Gardner among
the farmers of the state. The Repub

Calcasieu authorities make similar
reports, adding that the acreage is in
creased perhaps ten per cent in that
parish.
In Texas there were perhaps a lit
tie more of untimely rain and slight
drOuth than in Louisiana, but on the
whole the reports received here are to
the effect that the outlook is entirely
satisfactory. Ia some counties in Tex
as there is a slight decrease, large

there is an increase in the lands irri-
gated from deep wells. 1t is though:
by rice men who should be we'll post
ed that there may be slight increase
in the Texas acreage this year.
The consensus of opinion among To-
Cal rice men is that the increased con-
sumption of rice will easily take care
of any possible increase in production.

RICE FARMERS OF SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA
WILL SOON BEGIN CUTTING
Crop Earlier This SeaSOn-Siight In
crease, If Any, is Looked for, but
Prospects for Good Crop Are
Excellent.

Crowley, La. July embarrassing
will begin here next week and will be
in full blast by the end of the month.
Several of the Crowley mills will be
turning out rice by August l, and 1t is
possible that some of them will start be-
fore that time. The earliest date on
which any Crowley mill started up
last year was August 26.
The condition of the crop continues
to be excellent, nothing having inter-
ferred to hurt the quantity or the
quality of the yield. Thus far there
have been no reports of serious raw
ages by rice pests, although at Yari.
Gus times during the season worms
have appeared in restricted sections.
Grass has not interferred with the
crop to the extent that it has in some
former seasons. Old farmers say that
in respect of the trouble from insects
and from grass the crop has been less
troubled than in ANY year since the
banner crop year, 1923.
From the river come reports Of
tirst-class rice crops in point of quail
tv as well rs quantity. The Teche
crop is unusually good this season
and some rice from that section has
already found it's way to market. In
eastern Vermillon. along the Hunter
canal, the acreage is about the same
as last year, but if the weather re-
mains favorable for a few weeks the
yield will be much greater. Around
Gueydan the acreage is slightly in
creased and present conditions are
entirely satisfactory to the farmers.
In Acadia there is no material change
in acreage, but the present condition
of the crop can fairly be said to be
better than in any year since 1903.

SUCCESSFUL TENT MEsrtNG;CLOsEO HERE
SUNDAY.
Largest Attendance of Any Religious
Meeting Ever Held Here-Much
Enthusiasm EYinced.

Sunday night witnessed the close Of
the greatest religious meeting that this
place has experienced ia several
years. Bud Robinson, who conducted
the meeting, proved himself to be an
evangelist of rare ability and power.
His knowledge of the Scriptures was
almost phenomenal. it seeming to
make little difference TO him whether
he had the book before him or not, he
being able to quote the appropriate
text for the occasion. Rev Robin
sons methods were pleasing in the
extreme and his audiences continually
up to the final meeting. The large
tent that had been provided for the
occasion proved entirely inadequate
to accommodate the immense crowds
that assembled to hear the preacher of
the plains. The interest in the meet
ings was not confined to any one class,
but was shared by sinner and saint
alike.
A number of conversions were made
while the religious enthusiasm OF the
members of the vrious churches was
greatly strengthened and increased.
During the latter part Of the meetings
large delegations from a number OF
towns, some as far away as Ebenezer,
came to attend the meetings.
Following the close Of the meetings
Mr.. Robinson returned to his home in
ia Pine Isle. Texas, where he will re-
main but for few days before start
ing for Morse, New York, where he
has been engaged to hold series OF
meetings.
At meeting Of the pastors OF the
several churches it was agreed mat
the churches OF the town Will hold
union services Sunday evening at )
O'Clock on the grounds where the tent
meetings were recently held. A cor
dial invitation is extended to every
body. Rev. Caruth will preach.
Bring the song books with you that
were used in the tent meeting.

CHELSEA PLAYERS
TO START0FFW WITH
WESTERN DRAMA
Newarkers Rehearsing for PART
ners,' Which Will Begin Sea-
son Full of Promise.

The Chelsea Players, an organization
of Newark players, will give as their
opening piece-a number of New York
successes to follow tia stirring West
ern drama, Partners" which has been
played with great success by many
repertoire players. This Western play
gives the company unlimited scope to
show Its powers, as its parts range
from light comedy to h deepest of
hea~rt-reaching situations.
The manager of the Chelsea Players,
Thomas Sheridan, has secured as his
'lead" for the numerous pieces to be
played in Newark and adjoining towns
Samuel L. Freid. late of Tragedian Ed
ward Waldman's company.
Mr.. Freid's parts have ranged from
Simon Legree in "Uncle Toms Cabin
through Horatio in Hamlet" King
Henry VI. in "Richard III" and An
tonic in ''The Merchant of Venice.
Again fortunate Is Mr.. Sheridan in
having secured as his female 'lead'
| Miss Florence Atwood, q young woman
we'll known to local theatregoers. Miss
Atwood, a local girl has had almost
as varied a career as Mr.. Freid, she
having worked her way from the ranks
of the Homestead Players, of this city,
an organization started by Mr.. Freid
some years ago, into vaudeville, in
Arthur Pinero's one-act success, Love
Will Find a Way" From this the young
woman's next step was into the
Criterion Concert Company, as elocu-
zionist, with which company she
Travelled for two years. Last season
she was with the Viola Stock Company
as an ingenue.
In Partners Miss Atwood will be
seen as Tennessee Kent, a girl of the
hills. The part gives her every oppor-
tunity to show her remarkable ability
as an emotional actress.
The remainder of the company con
sists of Ed. Minion, in second juvenile
parts: Raymond a. Grant, in juvenile
parts; Florence Wheelan, in tragedy
roles; Anna O'Neil, in light comedy;
! Michael ]. McGarvan, comedy por-
trayals; James Kelley and Gordon Hill,
utility men.
Rehearsals are being held at the rate
of three weekly, and it Is said that tho
night the first show is given the per
formers will be letter perfect. The first
performance of Partners will be giver
