FLORIDA STRAWBERRIES SELL
WELL

Florida Strawberries made their de-
but in refrigerator lots this week and
created some enthusiasm as a result
of the fine quality and appearance
which they presented. The sizes were
larger than usual, and there were no
defects. Eight cars containing 80
quarts each, arrived Thursday. The
stock brought 5O075c. a quart. The
demand for the berries was mostly
confined to the big hotels. From now
on receivers expect that the stock

tan countries. The United States
gets $4,000 tons of them from Ger
many alone. Some come from France,
a few from England, some from Italy
and the Alps, to say nothing of the
thousands of tons we make ourselves.
Based on the weight and value of
those we get from Germany, it is safe
to assume that Young America found
$4,000 tons of them in it's stocking
Christmas morning, and that their ag-
gregate value is not under $4,000, 1000.
Think of it. Toys enough to make
5000 carloads-a train over four hun
dred miles long.
Germany leads the world in the
making of TOYS. That country annual
ly makes $4,000 tons of them, their
value being nearly s1O,OOO,OOO. Of
these only 25 per cent. remain at home

lice station, and the negro was sent
to the city hospital where it was found
that he was cut in a number Of places.
One cut across his breast barred the
negro's heart to view, and the pulsa-
tions of the heart could be plainly
seen. Despite his serious injuries, the
negro was sewed up and has a good
chance for recovery.
Sergt. Cole, at the Webster avenue
station, has notified all his men to be

HUNTED NAN
TO FIND DEATH
John Howard, ex-Convict, Killed at
Vivian-Man Who Killed Him Was
Former Witness Against Him.

SHREVEPORT, La, August 20
John Howard, said to be an eX-con-
vict from the Missls sippi penitentiary,
was shot and killed yesterday after
noon at Vivian, in the northern part
Of this parish, by j. 9. Fulton, prom
inent planter, in the presence of the
latters wife. Fulton, who claims self
defense, surrendered to a deputy sher
iff at vivian and was brought to
Shreveport last night and placed in
the parish Jail. Friends are expected
to apply for preliminary trial today.
First details of the tragedy were fur
nished by Fulton, himself. He claims
that Howard came to Louisiana, seeE-
ing his life because his testimony az
state witness ten years ago in Mis-
sissippi sent Howard to the peniten-
tiary in that state for two years.
At the time of his conviction How
ard swore to have revenge. Upon be-
ing released he began a search for
the whereabouts of Fulton, who had
moved to Louisiana, and located him
at Vivian, this parish, where he has
prospered as a farmer.
After a long search Howard found
Fulton and appeared at the latter's
home last Tuesday, but trouble was
averted. Yesterday afternoon Howard
again visited Fulton's home armed,
and with the avowed purpose of kill
ing Fulton, who was unarmed. After
Howard displayed his weapon Fulton
grabbed his gun and started from the
house. Mrs. Fulton grabbed him and
begged him not to use the weapon
She clung to it and it was with diff
Guilty Fulton freed himself in time to
shoot Howard while the latter was pre-
pairing to shoot him. Howard lived
an hour after being shot.

neighborhood today, and at s o'clock
this morning a large crowd of citi-

GUS kinds of conveyances with pleas
urable anticipations of another day in

Ideal proved to be such a splendid
success, that there was more eager
ness displayed on the part of citizens
to attend the meeting today than was
noticeable on the former occasion, ana
it is estimated that fully as many peo-
pie, if not more are enjoying the bar
.becue and love feast today than partici-
pated in the Ideal affair. The Wood
man band is again furnishing the
music. and all arrangements having
been completed yesterday, it goes
without saying that everything was
Just as it should have been. The pro
gram as previously arranged was
good one. and it is needless to say
that it was carried out in an accepti-
BILE manner. All those who attended
the former picnic were more than
pleased with the success of the enter
tainment, and it goes without saying
that todays effort will prove equally
as successful and profitable.

men. But the Tenth cavalry has just
returned from a three-year tour of
duty in the. Philippines and many
terms of enlistment are expiring. To
fill the ranks the negroes are being
enlisted again. The enthusiastic re-

its arrival in New York recently has
been the one topic among the Sonth-

because the negro troopers were treat
ed 'like white folks"
Consequently the recruiting officers

Verdict in Six Hours-Charged With
Criminal Conspiracy.

HONOLULU, August 20.-After be
ing out six hours the jury In the case
of the four Japanese strike leaders
charged with criminal conspiracy
brought in a verdict of guilty at 10:45
D. m. yesterday. The defendants,
President Maxine, of the Higher Wage
Association, the organization in
charge of the strike of the japanese
laborers on the sugar plantations OF
the islands; Editor Soga, of the Jap
anese newspaper Jill, and Assistant
Editors Negoro and Tashaka, of the
same paper, were arrested and charged
with criminal conspiracy June Ii

entered the offices of the Jill and the
Higher Wage Association and found
there evidence of what the authori-
ties claim to be a widespread move on
the part of the Japanese strikers to
take possession of the government OF
the territory.
Later the grand jury charged the ar
rested men with criminal conspiracy
to incite riot, violence and injury to
the property of the plantations affect
ed by the strike. A futile effort was
made to secure the release of the
accused leaders through habeas corpus
and they were brought to trial on the
charges on July "a.
