PLEADED GUILTY
The Swiftest Execution of Law in
Natchitoches Parish

A negro named Bathier, who attempt
ed few days ago an assault on white
girl aged IA years at Campti, is in the
penitentiary at Baton Rouge. He was
rescued from mob by Sheriff Freeman
and conveyed to the Natchitoches jail in
automobile He was arraigned on bill
of information filed by District Attor-
ney Wilkinson Thursday, to which he
pleaded guilty, and has been sentenced
to twenty years servitude in the State
penitentiary The special to the Plea
yune says: This is the swiftest execu-
ton of the law ever had in this parish.
In less than twenty-four hours of the
commission of the crime the accused
was on his way to the penitentiary.
There is much relief felt, as there was
intense feeling against the accused,
whose act was most brutal. Much
credit is given the local officers, Deputy
Sheriff Mabin, Constable Gillespi and
Town Marshal Baker of Campti, in pre-
venting an illegal execution under the
circumstances, which would have ordi-
narily overthrown law and reason"

COMMISSION FORM OF MUNICH
PAL GOVERNMENT.

The commission form of municipal
government, as provided in the bill of
Representative Smith of Caddo, had a
narrow escape Friday night from ami
hilation
Until the vote was recorded, it was
believed that it would have secured a
majority, but some of those from whom
had been expected support voted for
its defeat. However, when the situation
dawned upon Representative Smith he
displayed his ingenuity and tact and
with his activity he had it returned to
the calendar, from which it will be re-
called when, on being introduced, it,
may become law
The opposition to the bill came from
Monroe, Baton Rouge and Lake
Charles.
1t was provided in the bill to let the
citizens qualified to vote in each mu-
nicipality to decide by majority if they
favored this form of government.
If on call of thirty three per cent of
the qualified voters, a majority voting
at an election called for this
purpose should decide on this
form of government, then such form
would become active and would substi-
tute the present system of councilmen.
The commission form of government
wherever tried has been most satisfac-
tory and would so prove in Shreveport
In the next effort of Representative
Smith for this form of government
Shreveport and Alexandria only will
be included in the bill, and it should
therefore receive the majority sufficient
to enact the bill into law.
Representative Smith is entitled to
the fullest recognition of the people in
his effort to secure the municipal form
of government for Shreveport.

WEATHER BULLETIN
FORECAST OF STORMS TO CROSS
THE CONTINENT.
THE NEXT DISTURBANCE
Will Be Very Much Like the One Pre-
ceding It-Drouth Will Prevail in
Some Parts of the United States and
Canada During the Month of july.

copyrighted 1910 by w. T. ,Foster)
Washington, June 25.-LaSt bulletin
gave forecasts of disturbance to cross
the continent 20 to July 3, warm wave
20 to July 2, cool wave July I to 8
This disturbance will be above normal
in all its weather features as to force
and extent, causing extremes of wealth
er, but not dangerous storm. 1t will
increase in force as it moves eastward
and will be at its greatest intensitles IN
the Atlantic coast sections not far from
July 3.
Next disturbance will reach north
Pacific coast about July 4, cross Pacific
slope by close of 5, great central valleys
6 to 8, eastern sections 9. Warm wave
will cross Pacific slope about July A.,
great central valleys 6, eastern sections
s. Cool wave win cross Pacific slope
about 7, great central valleys 9, eastern
sections II.
This disturbance will be very much
like the one preceding it, but the earlier
will be at its greatest force on east part
of the continent, while the later will be-
gin as an extensive storm on the Pacific
coast and decrease in force as it pro-
crosses toward the Atlantic. Except
where drouth prevails, both of these
storm waves viii cause showers which
will continue at intervals till about July
II and then not much rain may be ex-
pected during balance of the month.
From Cuba to the north Atlantic sec
tions few scattered places will get ex-
cessive rains some time during July.
Southern Florida, North Carolina, the
District of Columbia and eastern New
York seem t., be scheduled for short
periods of excessive downpours of rain
in July.
But large sections Of the States and
parts of Canada will experience serious
drouth following July II. This drouth
will be serious drawback to the corn
crop in some sections, particularly where
deficiencies of rain shall have occurred
by close of June. Some parts of the
cotton belt will also be affected by these
scattering drouth conditions.
There are many indications that farm
products will bring good prices during
balance of this year. While | do not
expect a great crop failure, l feel sure
that crops will not be so great as seemed
to promise earlier in the season, and
there is no apparent reason why prices
should not, from the crop standpoint, be
as good or better than they were last
year.
The disturbing element of congress
ional legislation will be out of the way
and it is too early after the 1908 panic
for another depression.
Speculation in stocks, bonds, grain
and cotton has great influence on prices
and prosperity, more particularly in abb
sorbing the money needed in other lines
of business, and as the great speculators
have for several months been using
vast amounts of money in depressing
prices of farm products, probabilities
strongly indicate that they will let prices
go up again and, as they usually dc
after a bear campaign, help to boom
prices of farm products. An indications
point to business prosperity for the re-
mainder of 1910.

LABOR'S REPLY
To President Taft-It Is Tart and
Pointed.

ST. Paul, Mimi, June IA telegram
was sent to President Taft by President
w. c. Carter of the Brotherhood of
Firemen and Enginemen in session here
expressing the regret of the convention
that sit should be deemed necessary to
secure an appropriation for prosecuting
labor organizations.
This telegram was in answer to a tel
egram sent by President Taft to Presi-
dent Carter last night.
President Carter said: 1T seems to
US there are ways and means enough
now by which the laboring man can be
prosecuted without setting aside govern
ment money, a part of which we have
contributed, to prosecute us for trying
to better our conditions"

TO ANNUL PAVING CONTRACTS.
Three suits have been filed by J. w.
Bell and B. F. Brown against the City
of Shreveport and the Southern Btu
lithic Company, the Filbert Construction
Company and the Hot Springs Creosote
Company.
The purpose of the suit is to annu1
the contract for paving let by the city.
1t is held that the contracts were not
let to the lowest bidders and that the
bonds for paving were scaled to 81 I-2c
instead of being sold at par.
On the part of the city it is held that
the bonds were sold at par and that the
.conracts were awarded to the lowest
responsible bidders 1t is alleged that
while the bonds may have been negoti-
ated at their face value that the differ
ence arising between the par value and
S2I-2c at which the bonds have been
accepted, that is, II I-2c has been figured
in the price of the paving contracts
The plaintiffs are represented by Da-
Wis, Webb & Browne, and the city by
City Attorney Butler.
Several very fine points of law are
involved in these proceedings, which
may not soon be terminated.
