0NE.CENT RATE FOR REUNION
Officials of Western Roads Join in

be held in Memphis in June. This low
rate had already been made by the rail.
roads which are members of the South.
eastern Passenger Association, and was
authorized on the lines west OF the river
at yesterday mornings session OF the
Southwestern Excursion Bureau. This
rate it will be seen is from half to two
thirds of the regular one-way rates III
tins territory, and will doubtless result
in a record breaking attendance at the
Memphis reunion.
In addition to this low %round-trip rate,
special side trips are to be arranged for
all who are to take advantage Of them
during or Immediately following the
| close of the reunion, at the same rate,
| with the addition of a small charge,
probably so cents. The rates will be
officially given out from st. Louis by
| the chairman of the bureau as soon as
they have been filed with and approved
by the Interstate Commerce Commission.
Besides acting on this important mat
ter, the officials attending the bureau
meeting took up the consideration Of ex-
cursion rates in general in this territory.
This includes the States of Texas, Okla
homa and Arkansas, that portion OF
Louisiana west Of the Mississippi river,
and large portion of Missouri.

BISHOP HITS W0MEN'S HATS
Outrageous, Nothing Less Latest
STYLE Severely Criticised.

Cincinnati.-Aroused by an editorial
in the Western Christian Advocate, de-
nouncing the large size Of Womens hats
that are said to be a nuisance IN church
by interfering with the view OF worship
crs in the congregation, Bishop Moore,
presiding in the Cincinnati Methodist
Episcopal Conference, uttered the fol-
lowing condemnation of prevailing
STYLES in feminine headgear:
"For a woman Of moderate means I"
pay $4S or $50 OF Just 81? for the pla'"
hat without trimming is absolute wick
edness.
1T is ontrageous-nothing else. Why,
one woman's Easter hat could buy an
entire clerical outfit.
1T is a solemn conviction that this
which looks like such a trivial matter
amounts almost to an absolute moral
offense and sin. Ought not Christian
women TO show more consideration for
their fellow worshipers? Is there not
something like a proper courtesy and Il
decent regard for the opinions of others
and their convenience and comfort
which ought to influence our sisters IN
| relation to this matter of complaint!
Is not the present practice a genuine
imposition not only upon good nature,
but upon the rights and privileges OF
those who gather in the house of God?
"If the women must don these Korean
Aapdoodles, let them remove them az
soon as they are seated in the church"

To Maintain Schools.

Baton Rouge.-The Baton Rouge
Board of Trade will enlist its efforts
on the side of the school authorities
and will aid, if possible, the city and
parish authorities in any day, so
as to prevent the cutting down OF the
school term or the reduction OF III
per cent in the teachers salaries.
1t is learned that at a meeting OF
the executive committee OF the board
the matter was discussed and the
board decided to appeal to and ap-
pear before both the city council and
the police jury and urge a sufficiently
liberal appropriation to prevent the
parish from taking a backward step
in its educational affairs.
The appropriation of the addition
al mill tax by the board was consid-
cred. 1t was shown that If the po-
lice jury gave the schools the addi-
tional mill, making the total amount
three mills for school purposes, as
the law requires, that the threaten
ed reduction in salary or term would
not have to be made.

GERMANS OPPOSE TARIFF.
Bill Provides That Articles Must Be
Stained "Made in Germany"

Berlin.-German manufacturers are
raising serious objections to that fea-
ture of the American tariff bill which
provides that imported articles must be
stamped with the name Of the country
in which they are made. They declare
that the new made in Germany" regu'
lation will hit a hard blow at them.
''The proposed law is much more dras'
tic in this respect than the present one"
said the head of one of the largest OK
porting houses Of Germany.
'The clause as now phrased will sp-
ply to all articles capable of being
stamped, and, should such a provision
be enforced it must have a disastrous
effect on many German manufacturing
firms. 1t would put them to large ex.
pense and much annoyance, and what il
far more important, it would make ZONE
of their wares positively unstable. Who
will want to buy an. article designed for
| parlor decoration if it must be disfig.
ured, as the bill provides, with made in
Germany conspicuously stamped there

MOUNDS INSTEAD OF LEvEES
Representative Wallace Would Save
Stock From Overflow.

Washington, April.-The construction
of fifty experimental mounds on which
the people living along the banks of the
Mississippi river may take refuge, to.
gether with their live stock, during sea-
sons of flood is the proposal that Repre-
sentative Wallace is preparing to urge
upon Congress. He has introduced a bill
for the appropriation Of $4,000 for this
purpose.
"The government has constructed
levees along the Mississippi river" ex-
planned Mr.. Wallace today, "from the
mouth of the Ohio to the head of the
passes, sometimes Is miles back from
the river. Between the levees and the
river are more than one million acres OF
valuable farming land. As a result Of
the l%evee-building policy of the govern
ment the lives and property of the inhab'
itants on that million acres of land are
threatened every time there is a flood
| The levees tend to bank the water uE
over the land. The aborigines construct
ed mounds along the river on which they
might take refuge and l believe that
owing to the policy of the government
long since adopted it ought to construct
new mounds for the present inhabitants

Never Paid License.

Baton Rouge.-Judge Brunot has
tried the case of the city OF Baton
Rouge against Peter Mansuer, charg'
ed with selling whisky without IL
cense. The city wants $1,000 from
Mansuer for his 1909 license. Man
suer made application to the city
council to operate a saloon, and ne
was given the privilege. The city
assessed the $1,000 license against
him. Before. however, Mansuer pala
the city for the license he SOLD MS
business, he claims, to U. Marchaud.
Marchaud was convicted before Judge
Brunot of violating the Gay-ShattcuK
law, and had his license taken away
from him. The license. however, nap
pened to be Mansuer's, and for which
Mansuer had never paid the city.

TENEMENT DISTRICT BURNED
More Than 50 Houses in Manchester
De,troyed-6OO Homeless.

Manchester, N. IA large portion
of the tenement house district just
south of the business center of this
city was wiped out Thursday by fire. 1t
destroyed about fifty wooden three and
.four-story buildings. Six hundred men,
women and children, mostly Greeks,
were made homeless, and the loss is es'
timated at about $15O,O00. The flames
were driven by a fierce gale through two
city squares. Help had to be summoned
from Concord, Nashua, Rochester, Do
yer and Portsmouth, N. H., and from
Lowell, Mass. Five companies of the
New Hampshire national guard were
called out to help the police keep back
the crowd. The personal property loss
in the district was comparatively small.
The cause of the fire is unknown.

To Arrange Parish Line.

Natchitoches.-The police jury has
completed its labors and adjourned,
A resolution was adopted authorizing
President P. E. Prudh0mme to con-
fer with the proper authorities
Of Rapides Parish with the view OF
establishing a definite boundary line
between the two poarishes. At pres
enr there are three lines that are
claimed to be the boundary. This
has resulted in considerable confa'
sion in the assessment Of property,
and the question as to which parish
owns an entire section is OF school
land. One line puts 1t in Natchi-
toches parish, another puts In Rapi'
dos and the third divides 1t.

To Enforce Sunday Law.

Baton Rouge.-ln a charge to the
grand jury Judge H. F. Brunot direct.
ed the jurors to investigate the Sc
cret violations OF the Sunday law in
Baton Rouge, and also look into the
reported dice, card and gambling an
nexes in some of the saloons. Judge
Brunto directs that the grand jury still
hold in allegiance the cases OF the re-
ported violation of section 8 Of the
Gay-Shattuck law by saloons OF the
city that are within 800 feet of a
church or school. The recent decis,
ion of the supreme court, he declares,
If adhered to, will effectually nulify
this provision.

Policemen Want Free Ride.

Baton ~Rouge.-Whether or not Inc
Baton Rouge Street Railway Compa-
ny is compelled to carry free, police
men when they are not on duty and
are without their uniform, Is a mat
ter that is receiving attention from
members of the force. Members OF
the force claim that the company is
required to carry an officer when ne
has his badge, regardless of whether
or not he is in uniform. The compa-
ny says not, and one of the members
of the force, not on duty, was put
OF a car because he declined to pay
and gave the conductor a view OF
his badge. City Treasurer Ricand
made an examination of the charter
Of the railway, but could find nothing
recurring the company to carry po-
ncemen, with or without uniform.
