ignore the law in return for the political
advantage they gained thereby. The case
is we'll illustrated in Shreveport. the SEQ
ond city OF Louisiana. where the liquor
| fight has been steadily under way for
several years.
The retail liquor license for saloons
in that city few years ago cost only Si00
with the result that so many saloons
sprang up-one to every 100 OF popula-
! tion-that the license was raised 10 $500
/ This not having the effect hoped for, II
was still further raised in 1904 to 81 900
high license for town the size Of Shreve-
port.
The saloons continued to give trouble
especially those that catered to the large
negro population Of the town. In 1905 a
succession Of crimes by drunken negroes
aroused such popular excitement that 10
prevent a lynching bee and a riotous
outbreak against the negroes 1t was neoes-
saIy for Gov. Blanchard to order the
militia to the town TO keep the peace.
The license fee was then raised to 81, 500
for the avowed purpose OF suppressing &
the negro saloons. II closed about hall
OF them. The tax. which was In addition
to the State license and other taxes. was
oppressive. and the saloons, on the ground
that they could pay these heavy charges
In no other way. established poker rooms
craps rooms and operated slot machines
all In violation OF the law. Having tried
In vain to keep the saloons within the Law
the people OF Caddo voted the parish
dry few months ago. and the Shreveport
saloons were among those which went
out OF business with 1908.
From Caddo the fight was transferred
10 southern Louisiana, where the foul
big parishes Of st. Landry, Acadia. Cal.
casieu and Eerinillion voted on the liquor
question. The liquor men had become
alarmed by this time and went into the

Offices abolished, the police force reduced
In numbers, the officers reduced to the
ranks and a number Of contemplated
public improvements abandoned.
This is the general tendency through
out Louisiana and Mississippi, and II has
brought home 10 the people the cost of
prohibition. On the other hand the
opponents Of the saloon call attention
to the fact that il the revenues OF the
towns and counties have been reduced
by a closure Of the saloons the criminal
expenses have been reduced so that the
financial balance Is still in favor Of
prohibition.

three successive times with greater power
than had happened for many years. He
tells ME that he published in the American
magazine Science more than month
ago his conclusions that Sicily would
suffer grave seismic disturbance during
that month. The reason he selected Sicily
as the seat OF trouble rather than the West
Indies or San Francisco was because Of
the direction of the strain.
Mr.. Perret arrived at Genoa by steamer
from New York three days before the
disaster. So confident was he in the sig
niflcance OF his calculations that he told
his fellow passengers during the voyage
that they must expect 20 hear terrible
news from Sicily on reaching port. Earth
quake prophets do not command much
credence. and Mr.. Perret was no excep-
ton at that time. Hence his extreme
humiliation when no sensational news
greeted the ship at Genoa. Mr.. Perret
told me last Sunday that the astronomical
conditions favored repetition OF dis
turbance, but of lesser violence, to-day
and tomorrow. Hts prophecy Is being
amply verified even as I write. Two

S. B. Hathaway closed a deal for the
Kelly & Lapp saw mill last week and
has already moved the machinery to his
place about two miles south Of town.
The Kelley & Lapp mill was operated
for several months up to two years ago
when the partners got into a dispute
and the mill was closed down and finally
sold by the sheriff to satisfy creditors.
The machinery is all in good condition
and has a capacity of saving over
$1,000 feet of lumber per day. With
the exception Of the boiler the ma
chinery had all been transferred from
the Chumstick valley to the new loca-
ton yesterday.
Mr.. Hathaway has had considerable
experience in the saw mill business
before coming to Washington. He has
100 acres of good timber and recently
bought so acres from ]. R. Ramsey on

Put Under Bond for Wife Beating

Sam Wycoff was arrested last Tues
day evening and placed in Jail to
await trial on the charge OF wife beat
ing. Mrs. Wycoff lives on a claim
which she owned before her marriage
to Wycoff about one and a half miles
from town. She is a poor worthy
woman who makes living by wash
ing for people, and is in very poor
health. She walks to town every
morning and back in the evening.
The couple has been separated for
some time and Mrs. Wycoff has de-
clared that she intended to apply for a
divorce as her husband has never con-
tributed to her support. Last Sunday
Wycoff came to her cabin and beat her
numerically, so that she could not
work on Monday. She made COM
plant against him, and on returning
to her cabin found that the roof had
been torn off of her little home and
such groceries and supplies as it con-
tanned scattered on the ground. Mrs.
Wycoff says her husband wants to get
possession OF her land, some Sc acres,
which is very valuable and worth five
or six thousand dollars. 1t is home
stead on which she will prove up this
summer. Mrs. Wycoff is hard work
ing, honest woman. She has several
children and is doing her best to sup
port them.
