The Caucasian has received criticisms
Of the Shreveport Bar from many sec
tions of the parish, which it is unneces-
sary to publish, concerning the selection
of Judge Murff's successor
The situation is plain. The two as
pirants for the honor, Hon. A. D.
Land Jr., and Hon. E. w. sutherlin,
through their respective friends, sub
mitted their candidacy to the Shreve-
port Bar, when by majority Of three
votes Mr.. Suther1in was decreed to Be
the choice Of the Bar for judge.
The two aspirants having agreed to
the result, are pledged to the compact
as are the members of the Bar who par
ticipated, and therefore there will be nc

Now, since the Bar viii not recede
and Mr. Land and Mr.. Suther1in are il

to do about it?
The sovereigns of Caddo parish
should have been given the opportunity
of choice for Judge between two OF

been strictly responsive to Democratic
principles, but 1t is not so, and it may
be regretted that it is SO.
With all due respect, II may Be sait

FOREST FIRES
The Need for Organized Forest Firt
Protection Among Private Owners.

Washington, Sept 26.-One of the
lessons which viii finally be drawn from
the trying experience of the present for
est fire season, in the belief of officials
of the United States Department of
Agriculture, is the need of wider organ
zation among private owners of timber
to, safeguard their holdings
It is pointed out that already in the
Northwest, both on the Pacific coast and
i'll Montana and Idaho timber land
owners have formed themselves into as
sociations which assess the members Oh
an acreage basis and thus meet the cost
Of maintaining a regular patrol and
nre fighting organization. Only by get
ting together can private owners usually
assure themselves protection, for fire is
no respecter of boundary lines, and the
man who undertakes to keep it out of
his own timber will want it kept out of
his neighbours too Wherever possible
the governments forest officers co-ope-
rate with the force put in the field by
the associations, SO that the employees
Of the government and those of the
private owners ar handled practically
as unit in fighting the common enemy.
This cooperation is advantageous to
both sides. Protection of the national
forests necessarily carries with it a
good deal of protection of adjoining or
interior holdings. If the private own
ers would everywhere shoulder their
reasonable share of the burden, the pub
lie would gain both through more gen
eral forest conservation and through
relief from the necessity of paying for
the protection of private timber in or
der to protect its own.

THE BOIL WEEvIL
The Pest Is Here for Many Years to
Come.

Wi1mon Newell, late entomologist OF
the State Crop Pest Commission, in an
interview the other day says there will
be a godd cotton crop in Texas this
year, as the weather was too hot for
the boil weevils. However, this is nc
message of hope for the cotton growers
of Louisiana, for it is not likely that
at any time soon the boil weevils will
be so reduced in numbers as to be ap-
preciably affected by heat The pest is
here for many years to come, and it is
well to recognize the fact and shape
measures accordingly-St. Francisyille
True Democrat.
And since the pest is here the reli-
ance of the farmer is in the diversified
tion Of products. However, since cotton
IS a ready money producer it will be
grown, as it should be, under improved
conditions, but no prudent, practical
tiller of the soil will risk all his acreage
in cotton Since the advent of the boil
weevil the notable Improvement in the
diversifcation of farm products is evi-
denced in the steady, substantial devel-
opInent of the country.

WEATHER AND CROPS
Picking Has Been Facilitated by Fav-
orable Condition in the Cotton Belt.

New Orleans Picayune Sept 20 Prac-
ticalfy all accounts agree in reporting
the weather to have been very favor
able i'll all parts of the cotton belt dur
ing the week past While the nights
have been reasonably cool, the days
have been warm, with an abundance of
sunshine. The picking of the crop that
has already matured has been facilitated
while backward cotton has been pushed
ahead toward maturity, which it is ex-
pected to reach should frost be avoided
long enough.
There is much difference of opinion
as to the ultimate yield, as there always
is at this time Of the year, and some re
ports of deterioration are heard from
Arkansas, Oklahoma and Mississippi,
and even from Texas. but past expert
ence warrants the belief that every day
of such weather as has been experienced
during several weeks past adds to the
yield. The lateness of the crop has
been abundantly established, however,
and that fact makes the date of killing
frost a more than. commonly serious
matter this year An early frost would
undoubtedly affect the yield unfavorab1y.
The weather has greatly facilitated
the harvesting of the corn crop, and it
is generally agreed that the South has
made the banner corn crop this year.
This seems to be true of every cotton
state, rendering it likely that farmers
will not have to put their hands III their
pockets this year to provide food for
their stock.
The dry weather has also facilitated
the harvesting of the rice crop, which
has all been gathered and thresl1ed in
many parts of the rice belt. In the river
section fairly good crop of excellent
quality has been secured while in the
western or prairie district the reports
are not uniformly SO good. The market
so far has not met the expectations of
producers, but they hope for an inn
propenent later on.
The sugar cane crop continues to
make good progress the recent cool dry
weather having helped to mature the
canes considerably While some plant
ers would like a little rain, none are
complaining, as the cane. is not shffer-
ing, while the gathering of corn, rice
and hay is being facilitated, AS are also
preparations for fall planting. All ap-
pearanees now indicate that liberal
tonnage Of cane viii be ready for the
mills when the grinding season season
commences, a little more than two
weeks hence.

NEGRO STAMPEDE
Raid of Caesar DeBose in ST. Paul Bot
tom by the Sheriff.

Last night Sheriff F1ournoy with sew
eral of his deputies raided the joint for
fnerly operated by Caesar DeBose in St
Paul bottom This Joint is now or was
in charge of George Curtis, who with
Gearge Nelson and Marion Jones are
held each on FIVE charges of selling
liquor without a license.
The sheriff's visit was unexpected,
and when he appeared on the scene
there was general stampede. In their
getting away the negroes jumped out
through side windows and several
skipped through the roof and jumped
TO the roof on the building adjoining.
In the building there were on ice sew
eral hundred bottles of beer of the most
popular brands, the cash register with
the money from the sale Of beer, etc.
While this joint still hourishes under
tte name of Caesar DeBose, Caesar
himself is in Chicago, where it is said
he has been for some time, and where
he intends to locate in a joint of his own
he acquired with money won on the
Jeffries Johnson fight.

ARRESTED IN DALLAS BY THE
POLICE FOR MINOR OFFENSE.
IS SHREVEPORT BURGLAR
He Has Been in the Tolls Before and
Served a Term in Caddo Parish.
Some of the Stolen Jewelry Recov-
ercd-Malzes Light of His Crime

Hugh Young is in the custody of the
law. He is said to be sixteen years OF
age, though he may be aged eighteen
years He was arrested in Dallas Sat
Iurday for a trivial offense, and when
taken to the police headquarters there
was found in his possession a lot oi
| jewelry and money order written from
the Shreveport postoffice and other doc
1ments which aroused the suspicion OF
the police of Dallas, and who conmuni-
Gated with Shreveport, In the meantime
postcards advising of the burglary of the
residences of Mr. Silbernagel and Mr..
S. b. Hicks had been mailed to different
cities.
On receiving the advice from Dallas,
Detective Price hastened to that city,
and there he found Hugh Young, who
offered no objection to returning to
Shreveport.
When confronted with the victims of
his burglary Young treated the bur
glary lightly as if it were a joke and re-
ferred to the valuable jewelry as junk,
small quantity of which he had dis
posed of. Portions of the jewe1ry stolen
| will be recovered by Mr. Silbernagel
and Mr.. Hicks.
Hugh Young, if boy or youth of
sixteen or eighteen years, is as auda-
cious as one of riper years. With the
dash and reeIlessness of youth he is
lacking in experience, and unless he
shall reform or be kept in servitude he
promises to develop into one of the most
daring burglars on record. 1t is now
apparent that his burglary Of the resi-
denees Of Mr.. Silbernagel and Mr..
Hicks was premeditated with delibefa-
ton, and he may have been aided and
abetted by associates operating on the
outside, but this is only a surinise,
which, however, may develop into fact.
The boy burglar, as he is called, is
named Charles Howard. alias Hugh
Young. Il is said his parents, residents
of Arkansas, are respectable and that
he is the black sheep Of the family.
From the record it appears that How
ard or Young has been in servitude in
the Caddo parish jail for stealing It Is
charged against him that he was as
signed to term of FIVE years in the
Arkansas penitentiary for burglary,
from which he escaped, but this should
be cofroborated before it be accepted as
fact
At this stage of the proceedings there
may be raised an interesting point in
law. If he is but sixteen years Of age
he is atnenable to trial under the Juven-
lie Act, and if 50 atnenable, can he be
tried for burglary, and if convicted can
he be assigned to a term Of years in the
pefitentiary?

ANTI.BOOK MAKING
HAS ALMOST PUT THE run
NERS" OUT OF BUSINESS.
HARNESS RACE MEETINGS
Steadily Gaining in Popular Favor.
Clean and High Class Sport - Is a
Financial Sales.--future Racing-A
Speed Carnival for Thanksgiving.

New Orleans, Sept. "a, 1910 From
Walter Parker) r)-The summer harness
racing season now drawing to close
has been the most successful III the his
tory of the sport. 1t is a rather curious
| fact, and one that has given great Ell
enlargement to the breeders of stand
ard bred horses, that while the anti
bookmaking legislation of the different
states has almost put the runners out
of business, harness racing is steadily
gaining i'll popular favor.
The present season has demonstrated
beyond a doubt that successful harness
race meetings can be held without the
income derived from bookmaking. AS
matter of fact, bookmakers were
never popular with the followers OF
harness racing. Harness horse owners
recognized long ago that Pari-Mutual
machines and auction pools were the
only method of betting that gave every
body square deal, but unfortunately i'll
some states the legislation caused by
we'll founded public antipathy to the
booltinakers stopped the use of the
Pari-nutual also.
Previous to the anti-betting crusade
inaugurated i'll New York State by Gov
ernor Hughes, New York had not held
successful harness meeting in several
years, while the several running tracks
were being operated continuously and
drawing tremendous crowds.
Early last spring a number of wealthy
New Workers raised a sufficient fund to
guarantee the expense of a Grand Cir
ctlit meeting to be held at the Empire
City track III August. It was given out
that the meeting would be held strictly
within the law. Governor Hughes
wrote to the promoters congratulating
them upon their efforts to promote
clean sport and expressing his regret
that he was unable to attend
The result of the meeting was a very
agreeable surprise to all concerned. The
attendance the first day exceeded that
of any three days at the running tracks,
the sport was clean and Of a high class.
and the meeting proved a financial suc-
cess.
New Orleans is to try similar ex-
pertinent this fall. The merchants com
1nittee of the Business Mems League is
promoting Speed Carnival to open on
Thanksgiving Day. November I'd Lib
eral purses will be offered and the own
efs of many of the fastest horses iii the
country have already agreed to send
their stables, including Minor Heir, the
horse that recently established a new
worlds pace record of I SO.
After three days of high class harness
racing the carnival will conclude on No
vember ~ with programme Of autoe
mobile and aeroplane races. 1t is ex-
pected that the railway companies will
give special rates and everything will
be done to give visitors a splendid four
days of entertainment.

| For the first time in 81 years Dan

many years United States marshal

most famous leader of the Hatfield
clan, have met face to face. 1t was
the first time either had got a
glimpse OF the other since 1889,
when Cunningham was the head OF
q detective force which was engaged
in trying to break up the Hatfield
clan.
The meeting occurred near the
pool room and each recognized the
other at glance. and each was
about as surprised as men could be.
They looked each other squareiy In
the eyes, but instead of flying bull
lets. as the spectators expected to
see. neither showed disposition to
shoot. but walked away in opposite
directions. The enmity that exists
between these men is we'll known.
and for years the question has been,
