THEODORE DER CROSSE, Ell?
Foreign Steamship Companies May
Capture American Names.


Capture American Names.
At luncheon In New York day or
two ago some men Of the shipping
world were discussing the subject of
steamship nomenclature. and 1t was
generally conceded that something
must be done abroad to prevent new
steamships from acquiring the names
of prominent American characters, cit
les and politicians.
With the Martha Washington, the
George Washington, the President
Grant, the President Lincoln, the
United States, the Pennsylvania and
the Chicago, all owned by foreign COM
panies, 1t was said that there was no
limit to the American names that
might be thrust upon the proposed
steamships of the various foreign
lines running to this port.
1t was suggested that the Hamburg
American line might call Its new 49,,
600 ton liner the Theodore der Crosse:
the next creation of the Red Star line
might be the Hughesland; the White
Star the Loebic, the Cunard the Taft
onia, the Holland-America the Cannon
dam. the French line the La Toilette.
the Scandinavian-Amer line the
Hellig Harmon, the Italian line the
Re di Gaynor, the Anchor line the
Griscomalia. and last, but not least.
the American line-if 1t ever builds
new steamship-the Oyster Bay.

The most celebrated of all the wines

town hall of Breme.
The wine has been in the vaults since
1921, when the conscript fathers had
six great vats made at Johannisberg
and six Others at Hockheimer. Each
received the name of one of the apos-
ties. 1t is an unwritten law that as

the vats a similar quantity Of the same
vintage is put into the tun; consequent

Frederick Stark Pearson was born in
Lowell, Mass, in 1861 and received a
technical education at Tufts college, in
that state. He subsequently became
an instructor in chemistry in the Mas

DR.. Pearson then went to Rio de
Janeiro and San Paulo, in Brazil, where
he Installed electric light, power and
street railway systems. In these en-
terprises he first became associated
with English capitalists and built up
close connection with the banking
house Of Sperlin & Co., Percival Far

Hubbard, well known London capital
lists.
From South America Dr. Pearson ex.
tended his field of operations to Mex

river. near the City Of Mexico. In this
enterprise alone about $46,000,O00 has
been invested. Altogether DR.. Pear

FOE TO BOIL WEEyIL
Mississippi Planters Are Planting Sum
flowers in Great Numbers.

Greenville, Miss, May 4.-Departing
radically from all methods of fighting
the boil weevil, planters this season will
make general use of sunhowers In the
boil weeyi1 section, south of Nicksburg,
planters are buying sunfower seeds in
large quantities, while one merchant in
Port Gibson has so much faith that he
has agreed to furnish sunfower seed
free of charge to all customers While
the use of the sunfower as a boil weevil
weapon is not used to exterminate the
pest, it is said that the tiny destroyer of
the cotton boil will leave a cotton boil
invariably for an opportunity to sting
and deposit its eggs in sunhower.
The planSers have various ideas, how
ever, about the way the sunfower
should be used. Some plant sunflowers
with the cotton, but further apart. 9th
ers plant around the edge of the field,
theorizing that the weevil will go a
great distance to reach sunhower

The City Council of today must as
sumo some responsibility for action.
Upon the Council of today must rest the
initiative. The action as outlined is
commendable; it is in the right direction
and it devoives on the inhabitants OF
the city of Shreveport to not only stand
by and approve the resolution of Coun-
Gilman Lowenthal and the Councils me-
mortal to the Legislature, but they must
make it plain that any and every effort
by private or corporate interests to ac-
quire this portion of Cross lake shall be
resisted to the extreme limits 1t is
anticipated that when legislative action
shall be in order that representatives of
these private and corporate interests
will be in Baton Rouge to secure their
aim if possible or to defeat the city of
Shreveport in the requirement of this
portion of the bed of Cross lake, but the
representatives of Caddo in the Legisla-
ture and their friends from all over the
State will unquestionably rise to the is
sue and will respond to the needs of the
people.
However, let no man be rnisled, but
let every citizens of Shreveport who
has in mind the welfare of the future
stand for the ownership of the water
works by the people.
The issue as we see it plainly IS nu
nicipal ownership Of the waterworks or
control of the water supply of the future
by corporate interests.

WEATHER AND CROPS
The Damage While Great Is Not as Sc
rious as at First Estimated.

New Orleans Picayune: Ever since
the cold spell of week ago the agri-
cultural interests throughout the South
have been naturally apprehensive as to
the ultimate result on the crops of such
unprecedented April weather. That
damage has been done is generally adj
n1itted, but with the passage of time it
is becoming apparent that the setback
has been less irreparable than was at
first believed. Not by any means has
the entire cotton crop, that was already
up been killed, and that portion of it
which was seriously injured is being
rapidly replanted, the condition of the
fields being such as to facilitate rapid
work 1t is also becoming apparent that
the scarcity of seed, at first, viewed with
so much apprehension, is by no means
so serious as was believed.
While it is probable that all damage
to the planted cotton will be repaired,
it is equally certain that the setback of
several weeks which the crop has met
with can not be overcome except with
the assistance of uncommonly favorable
weatheA from now on Rain is now
needed all over the cotton belt, and, al
though there are indications of rain in
the near future, past experience has
abundant1y demonstrated that there ex-
lists vast difference between mere in
dications and the accomplished fact.
Next in, importance to the prospects
for the cotton crop is the outlook for
the sugar industry of this State. The
cane crop was already suffering from
dry weather prior to the cold snap, and
the cold spell developed frost and even
thin ice over the greater portion of the
sugar belt. While this cold snap did
not damage materially the growing cane,
it undoubtedly retarded its development
and added to the i'll effects of the pre-
vious drouth.
The-dry spell from which the sugar
cane fields have suffered has not yet
been broken, and all information indi-
Gates that planters are feeling much
anxiety as to the situation. Spring

WILL Go DRY
The Ex-Governor of South Carolina
Says the State VIII Go Dry Because
Good Liquor Law Was not Let Alone
BY the People

A special to the Times Democrat from
New York, dated May 8, says: Ex-Gov-
ernor John Gary Evans of South Caro-
lima, who is in the city, said today that
South Carolina is going dry at the next
election, all because they hadn't let a
good liquor raw alone when they had
one down there.
"The State dispensarg law was passed
in Governor Tillnan's administration,
and itAgas the best solution of the whis-
key problem ever Iegislated, said Mr..
Evans. But the State was then divided
into Tillman and anti Tilltnan factions,
and the ants thought the law was sim
ply political measure, which it was
not-and went to work to fight it.
"The principal places where the dis
pensary still exists are Charleston and
Columbia. Charleston also has open
bar roons The rest of the State is not
satisfied to allow Charleston and Colunl-
bia to enjoy a further monopoly of the
liquor business, SO at the next election

READY FOR ACTION
Col Pleasant Will Bring Proceedings
Against Texas Railroad Commission.

Colonel R. G. Pleasant, Assistant At
torney General, has announced from
New Orleans that he is ready to file
suits against the Texas Railroad Com
mission for discrimination against par
ties residing and doing business in
Louisiana The railroads implicated arc
the Texas and Pacific, the St. Louis and
Southwestern, the ST. Louis and South
western of Texas, the Houston and
Shreveport, the Texas Southern, the
Houston East and West Texas, the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas, and the Gulf,
Colorado and Santa Fe.
The complaints of parties against this
injurious discrimination have been long
and loud but have frequently only
reused the risibles of the Texas Rail,
road Commission.
How much Shreveport has suffered
from such discrimination it is not pos
sibfe to estimate, but the territory which
for years was Shreveport's has been
eliminated through the un1alrnesS OF
this commission.
The relief which is being sought
through the Interstate Commerce Com
mission may be effective in time.
1t was at the last session of the State
Legislature that Representative Smith
of Caddo had adopted a resolution di-
recting the Attorney General, Colonel
Guion, to proceed in legal action in re-
sponse to the complaints of the business
men of Shreveport. In this work Cof-

SEGREGATION SCHEME
It Is Again Revived, butAas in the Past
1t Will Fail.

The word segregation is mouthful
in itself and may be awe-inspiring to
the illiterate. In plain English it means
separation or division. In the city of
Shreveport there are some men who, as
in the past, are seeking the "segrega-
ton of the city from the parish There
can be no reason advanced for this de-
sired segregation" except that the citi-
gems of Shreveport should be permitted
TO attend to their own affairs without
the interposition, i'll plainer word in
reference of the wards of the parish.
Fortunately this view is not Shared by
the majority of the citizens Of Shreve-
port. As far as can be ascertained the
segregationists, at least the majority, in
sist and persist in the separation Of the
city from the parish for the reason that
the licensing of the sale of liquor and
intoxicants should be left strictly in the
Econtrol of the city of Shreveport, upon
which the saloon element and the traf-
6ckers in intoxicants rely on majority
for thalefeat of prohibition.
z Us is a Selfish and narrow view,
suggested, if not dictated, in the interest
of the saloon. At this time it is unneces-
sary to discuss this proposed segrega-
ton further, except to say that the seq
regationists as in the past are doomed
to failure.
