WHERE CAR TICKETS
CAN BE PURCHASED.

Some surprise was created by
the announcement In The Press
few days ago that the people Of the
city unnecessarily paid over 500.
600 to the car companies during
the past year through the failure
to buy tickets, which are sold at
II for so cents, 22 for 81, or 4 saw.
ing Of SO cents on a IS book.
Where can we get these tick
ets?" has been asked. For the in
formation of the public, the car
companies have issued the follow.
ing lists of places where, their
tickets are sold:

The Crescent, the Palace and the
Wonder department stores; Muir

Main and Washington; Palace,
Crescent and Wonder department
stores; Murgittroyd's, Krum's and
Rippeteau's drug stores; Smiths
and Washington cigar stores, and

The feeling prevails that the
tickets should be on sale with the
conductors, as they are sold in
many cities, but the car companies
think they have granted quite a
concession in voluntarily giving
the 10 per cent discount and plac-
ing tickets on sale at the points

Yesterday about noon an

happened to his bike and he

When Mabel WILDER, leading
lady Of the "Merry Widow"
company, which opened a four
night engagement at the Audi
torium theater last night,
danced in the famous 4"Merry
Widow" waltz she wore slip

diamonds. They sparkled
back and forth in the merriest
kind of merry way.
The comedy is even better
than 1t was last year, and Is
full of fine scenery, gorgeous

The tenor is far better than

WANT THE OIL riLLJo.
Standard Offers S5,000,0O0 fer the
Caddo Holdings.

Shreveport.-An idea Of the value
OF pipe lines handling Caddo oil was
given when Assessor Hollingsworth
reported that he had assessed the
Standard Oil Company's line at ST.
800 per mile, amounting to nearly
100000. Letters he has received
from assessors in other parishes that
are crossed by this line on its route
TO the refinery at Baton Rouge indi-
cate that they will follow his eX-
ample, which would make the assess
ment of the Standards Louisiana oil
line total about 100000. Assessor
Hollingsworth reports that the Caddo
assessment will show an increase of
81 900, 900 in property Of oil and gas
companies.
From what is considered safe au-
thority, it is learned that the Stand.
ard has offered $5,0O0,00O for the
Caddo holdings, including leases and
wells Of the Benedum-Trees Compa-
ny, but the latter declined to sell for
less than $4,000 900, this being a sc,
quel TO the recent visit to the Caddo
field by the Standard officials.

New Nork.-W'ith James \. Pattcn at

eighteen millions of dollars and six or
seven additional millions forthcoming as
a result of the calling of loans, trahsac-
tions Friday in spot cotton were the
greatest for any single day in the history
of the New York cotton exchange. Spot
cotton means ready cash for the COM
modify and Mr.. Patten and his friends
apparently had plenty OF the where

Approximately 100000 bales were ten
dered the bull clique, aggregating in val
re about 100000, which will have to
be taken and paid for by Mr.. Patten and
his associates. The zoe, 900 bales are said
to include virtually every bale of cotton
now in New York warehouses and at cur
rent prices based on $73 Il bale for May
cotton deliveries of 200, 900 bales in.
volve the changing Of not less than
$14,60O, 600.
According to the best estimates OF cot
ton houses, James 4. Pattcn, Frank b.
IIayne. William 2. Brown and Eugene
n. Scales had contracted for not less
than 100000 bales of May cotton and
while the sellers have until May 81 in
which to make deliveries upon three days
notice curiosity is manifested as to where
the additional 100000 bales of cotton is
to come from. The bears are known to
be securing the South for every available
bale of cotton they can lay their hands
upon.
Incidentally it was announced shortly
after noon Friday that the bull clique
had managed to dispose of $4,000 bales
of the cotton rendered to them at a
handsome profit to various mills.

Cured about four miles northwest Of
Church Point. a neighbOrhOOd called
Point Noir, in which Jack FOuntenOt
was shot and killed by Felecion

received that bad feeling had existed
between the two young men for some
time, on account Of some trouble they
have had about a dog, and when the
two men met at a ball given at the
home of Jean Leger they decided to
settle the affair. It appears that
Fountenot attacked Leger with a
knife and severely stabbed and cut
him about the shoulders and head,
breaking the blade of his knife in
Leger's shoulder. Leger fired at
F%ountenot, the bullet entering in the
back, passing entirely through the
body and lodging in the upper por-
ton Of the left arm. The bullet

upon the basis Of the returns from the

in, this estimate was raised to $30.OOO,-

than $22, 100000 will be collected, and
the total may fall a full million below
the figure. Returns from Western,

TAFT BILLS TIED UP
SENATE AND HOUSE CAN'T AGREE
ON RAILROAD BILL.
Only Hope Is That President Will Com
mand Both Sides Of Conference to Get
Together.

Observation-Disclosures leaders
in congress are beginning to feel a good
deal OF concern over the chances of put.
ting through the several measures on
which President Taft has set his heart.
Many who have hard political battles in
prospect even now are making their
plans to go to their states or districts.
Nearly all OF the Taft bills are Sus-
pended by more or less uncertain threads.
The railroad bill, which is the pending
business in both branches, is not out of
danger. The amendments already adopt
ed in the senate and house and a num-
Der Of others which are almost certain TO
be adopted in one branch or the other
will produce measures so widely differ.
ent that harmony in conference threatens
TO become utterly ont Of the question.
By the time the bill reaches confer.
ence, President Taft will have returned
to Washington, and it is hoped he may
bring the conferees together by con.
handing each side to grant concessions.
| Nothing but the most determined pres.
sure from the White House, it is adj
mitted. could accomplish such a result.
In the house there is some demand
that the postal savings bank bill will
be taken up. but it is still in committee,
and an order of a majority of the house
may be necessary to dislodgc it.
Peculiar situations exist in relation to
both the statehood and the postal bank
bills. The first named has passed the
house and a radically different bill has
been reported from the senate commit
tee on territories. The postal bank bill
has passed the senate. but in a form
which seems to be wholly unsatisfactory
to the house.
What the president will do with the
rivers and harhors appropriation bill is
agitating the minds of many members Of
the house and senate in both parties. The
measure is now in conference. but no
Roadway had been made in ~disposing of
it. The delay is said to be caused by |
the rumors frequently heard that the
president will veto the bill. No one seems
to have drawn from him what his inteA.
tions are concerning it.

Kansas City, Mo.-Dr. Bennett
Clarke Hyde is It prisoner in Jail.
The physician was deprived of the lib
crty that he has enjoyed ever since the
indictments charging him with a series

turned by the grand jury, upon the order
of Judge Latshaw Of the criminal court
of Jackson county just before the adj
journmcnt of court "Wednesday evening.

tody of the court marshal came after
a day in court that was rcplete with SEN
s%ations. after Il day in which Indictment
after indictments, damaging, convincing
and terrible in their nature, came from
the lips of witnesses.
The jury had filed out i'll solemn order.
Judge Latshaw shifted uneasily in his
great seat on the bench. He called the
marshal before him. Then he said:
I'm view of the testimony thus far
given in this trial the court is con-
strained to say that it mounts to a pre-
sumption of guilt that under the law de-
prives the defendant of the right to 90
on bond, and he is hereby and for that
reason remandcd to the custody of TIE

Hyde half started from his seat. He
did not seem to comprehend the import
of the Judges words. But his wife did.
''Of. my God" she cried. She threw
her arms around the accused mans neck,
laid her head upon his shoulder and wept
bitterly.
DIR. Hyde retained his composure. He
turned to the weeping woman and spoke
a few words of comfort. Then, with a
smile on his face, he asked the waiting
marshal to allow his wife to composc
herself some before he was taken into
custody.
Just when | need YOU the most,
d%earie," his wife sobbed; lust when I
need YOU the most, to think that you
must be taken from me. Isn't there
