If the War Department determines
to accept Batan coal mined in the Phil
ippines as bunker fuel for its trans.
ports, Nagasaki viii in all probability
be cut out of the list of ports Of call
and the transports will run direct from
Manila to Honolulu and San Francisco
Many officers and members of their
families have little desire to stop at
the japanese port, being more anxious
to get home.
From financial standpoint the cut
ting out of Nagasaki. would result
favorably to Honolulu. as the japanese
port receives large share of American
cash whenever a transport stops there.
This money would be spent in Homo
lulu instead, and being an American
port, local merchants feel they ought
to have the right of way The Batan
coal is yet an experiment and although
it was pronounced good on the last
trip of the Dix to Seattle, the War
Department has not concluded its tests.

The use of the machine gun and the

with that type Of weapon are engaging
the attention of military experts.
Every regiment now has a machine

A TOAST TO WOMAN.

Lebanon (Tenn) Enterprise. This
beautiful toast to wamon was originally
given by man who had been hard
drinker but who had turned from the
wine cup and become one of the leading
lights Of the legal profession. The oc-
casion was a banquet in Philadelphia on
April II. 1881 It was as follows:
Il should like to propose toast to-
night, although total abstinence man
myself, toast to woman. To be drunk,
not in liquor Of any kind, for we should
never pledge woman in that which
may bring her husband Keeling home to
abuse where he should love and cherish,
send her sons to a drunkards grave
and her daughters to a life of shame
oh, no, not in that, but rather in the
life-giving water, pure as her chastity,
clear as her intuitions, bright as her
smile, sparkling as her consolation,
strong and sustaining as her love--in
the crystal water / would drink to her
that she would remain the queen regent
Of the empire she has won, grounded
deep as the universe in love- built up
and exercised in the homes and hearts
of the world; | would drink to her, the
full-blown flower of creations morning
Of which man was but the bud and bios
som; to her who in childhood claps our
little hands and teaches us to lisp the
first sweet prayer to the great All
Father. who comes to us in youth with
good counsel and advice, who in man
hood meet our heart warnings with the
faithfulness of conjugal love, and whose
hand, when our feet goes down i'll the
shadow, gently smoothes the rough pill
low of death as none other cam to her
who is the flower of flowers, the pearl
Of pearls, Gods latest and best and
brightest gift to man--woman, peerless,
pure, sweet, loyal woman.

LEO OLIVIER
Declared to Be Not Guilty Of Killing
Or. Allen S. King at Morgan City.

Not guilty was the verdict Satur-
day night of the jury who tried Leo
Olivier for the killing of Dr.. Allen S.
King in Morgan City May 10. Forty
minutes deliberation and but one ballot
were required before the twelve men
announced that they had agreed.
Il do not regard it. cas- vindication
of the unwritten law. | regard it as an
endorsement of our strong case of self
defense" said Judge Allen, leading
counsel for Olivier. However, citizens
of St Mary parish believe it was main
~ sentiment which gave Leo Olivier his
freedom. There was hardly Juror
who had not expressed his Endorsement
of that sentiment in his examination,
though each one had qualified that state
ment by asserting that he could put
aside this sympathy and try the case
purely according to the law and the evil
dSnce.
The whole court room rose to its feet
when the verdict was read and it was
evident that noisy demonstration
would have ensued had not the sheriff
stopped the cheers which had already
begun with a stentorian demand for
silence.
Olivier himself received the verdict
with surprising composure, but Mrs. M.
G. Olivier. his step-mother, seemed
overcome by the SUDDEN relapse from
suspense. The boy had expected &C
quittal confidently, so confidently that
he had packed his handbag early Satur-
day night. The strength of local senti-
ment showed itself in the enthusiastic
handshalting reception accorded tbs
boy by the crowd as he made his way
out of the court room.
Miss Hazel Olivier, whose story as
told to her brother supplied the motive
for the killing, was wreathed in smiles,
and for the first time pushed back the
heavy veil from her face. Mrs. Sallie
King mother Of Dr. King, was not in
the court room to hear the verdict.
Thomas Milling, the district attorney,
was i'll and had been holding himself
to his task by extraordinary effort dur
ing the day, but was too i'll to appear
and hear the verdict
We think we made out our case,
was the only expression attorneys for
the State vauchsafed.
so far as we could see, the verdict
depended entirely upon the weight the
jury attached to the boys own evidence
and the opinion they had Of his credi-
bility," said Judge Allen of the de-
Tense.

yesterday in Monroe. The body was
taken to Monroe Saturday evening in
the private car of w. NJ. Hobbs, super

many years.

of Union parish. His first appearance
in public life was when still a young
man, he became clerk of the State SEN
ate. Soon afterwards he was made land
agent of the Vicksburg, Shreveport and
Pacific and moved to Monroe. where he
lived many years. The Lee home, over
looking the Ouachita river, just above

was a son of Colonel Lee. w. Burch
Lee was formerly private secretary to
representative K. +. Broussard. A
brother Maj. J. G. Lee. lives in Biloxi.
Colonel Lee had been sick for more
than three years, but there was nothing
alarming in his condition until soon
after 3 o'clock Saturday morning The
night before, Colonel Lee had talked OF
plans for the future with members of
his family. During the night he suf-
fered an attack Of heart trouble and
soon afterward breathed his last.
Colonel Lee was a remarkable man III
many respects. He had faculty OF

owing to his executive ability, he was
known throughout the railroad world

TAFT AND THE SUBSIDY GRAB
nEpG


New Orleans States: In his address
at Seattle on Thursday President Taft
asserted that the country is ready for
a ship subsidy law, and announced his
intention to urge in his Forthcoming
message to Congress the enactment oil
such a law, The Republican organiza-
ton has long stood for taxing the peo-
pie to enrich the Ship Building Trust
and during the last few years every
time an opportunity presented, such a
bill has been introduced and pushed
with great vigor.
The late Senator Carmack made
memorable the closing of his official
career in the Senate by talking one of
these subsidy bills to death, an act
which has gone down in the annals oil
the Nation as the most brilliant triumph
of legislative filibustering that has ever
been accomplished. But in spite of re-
peated defeats the greedy subsidy
grabbers have never grown discouraged
So powerful are the interests that are
back of the demand that convention
after convention of the Republican
party has pledged the party to the en-
actment of such legislation, but up to
the present time all efforts to put the
measure through have failed.
And is Taft to give the influence OF
his office to the success Of this scheme
