.Just;e. NJ All Hours,

Despite their preference for repub-
lican form Of government. the French
are in some respects conservative
nation. A Paris contemporary discov-
cred that one Of the doors OF the pa.
lais de justice is left ajar throughout
the night. This door has never been
shut since March A. 1918. when Louis
XIII. ordained that It should remain
pefpetually open so that my subjects
may be able to seek justice at all
hours Of the day and night" How
ever, an enterprising journalist who
presented himself at the door In the
small hours Of the morning was
promptly elected by Waterman. And
when he quoted the ordinance OF 1913
the reply was, III you don't clear on
you'll find yourself coming In by the
prisoners door tomorrow"

"Ie's quite wealthy and prominent
now" said Mrs. .Starvern. "and they
say he rose from nothing"

THAT'S Just what rose from-at the

BOTTOM OF river.
TRACT or LAND IN ALEXANDER
COUNTY SUBJECT OF MUCH
CORRESPONDENCE.
Been Out Of Sight For Many Years
But Has Been Sold and Resold "
and Morteagcd--in Dog
Tooth Bend.

A piece of country property that
was, but Is not now, nor has it been
for the past quarter of a century in
the open air. 1t is 1877 acres that was
formerly on the west bank of the
| Mississippi river in Dog Tooth Bend
mot many miles north OF Cairo. The
land is now located In the bottom Of
/, the river.
! The acreage in question was orig
inally decided by the government to
the first individual owner, and it has
since been the cause Of much CORE
spondence between the different ,pur
Echasars that have owned it from time
Ito time and the circuit clerks Of this
county. It has not only been sold a
number of times but has been mort
gagged a number of time since 1t has
been located in the bottom ..af the
river.
Yesterday this property which Is
out OF sight. was again placed on the
records at the court house as having
been transferred from LaMonte Tay
lor ct TX of limo, Mo-. to Edward s.
Edmunds of Decatur, I'll. The transfer
paper was a quit claim deed subject to
whatever mortgage and other en-.
cuhmbrances that may appear. II Is
understood there Is mortgage OF
eight or nine hundred dollars on the
property. the consideration of sale
being an exchange ofland and 81.
The property has been off the tax
records since 1894 Edmunds has had
the deed in his possession since Dec.
8. 1909 and some time ago wrote to
the circuit clerk here as to the prob
able vlaue of the property and what
the cost would be of having the abb
stract made The circuit clerk wrote
THAT the land was at the bottom OF
the river and had been there for
many years owing to the cutting of the
banks by the current of the river and,
|of course, was yalueless. NRwlth-
standing this information EdmnnGs
has had the deed recorded.
Some years ago one Of the former
owners OF the same property who
lived in Oklahoma, got into trouble
for realizing on this mythical land
and according to newspaper article
was in fair shape to be jailed for the
deal. How he settled matters has not
been learned in Cairo.

it was not many minutes till the pas

news that the pillow had been wrecked
On a curve four miles away. and The
passenger train had to take siding

FLOOD IN GER RMANY
 IS DISASTROUS


 Cologne. Germany, June 13.-Great loss Of life occurred in the Ahr valley oi the Eifel region as the result of cloud burst which swept the district Sunday night Late estimates place the total number of dead at 150.
 News of the catastrophe reached here today. Numerous storms in the region had the~streanf unusually high and a result of an unusually heavy downpours Sun. day night the river Ahr suddenly over- flowed, the water carrying death and destruction in it's path.
 The greatest loss of life occurred where two barracks. containing Croatian labor CTS, employed on the railway, were swept away. The inmates were surprised in their sleep and many were unable to help themselves. Thirty-seven bodies have been recovered.
 The flood caused enormous damage. completely destroying the railway and devastating several villages. Lightning struck in one village, destroying ten houses and seriously injuring four per sons.
 The flood subsided early today as sud- denly as 1t came and the danger Is now passed.
 Many peasants, however, have lost everything and are dependent on charity

IMPROVEMENT IN
 THE COTTON CROP

Dallas, Tex. June 13.-The Galveston Dallas News will publish tomorrow from 100 correspondents in Texas and Okla homa writing on June S. giving state ments of crop acreage and conditions.
 The comparisons are made with 1909 and not with the normal basis condition
 The cotton acreage of Texas is showr to be 2.6 per cent larger than last year and in Oklahoma 12.2 per cent increase Condition in Texas is s.S per cent better than last year; in Oklahoma, 7.7 per cen better. Conditions are strikingly similar over both states, although better in th' western districts than in the east. Th' stand Is good, but not universally so, anC in spots the crop is earlier than las year, but on the whole is later.
 As a rule, however. conditions are ia vorable and the plant is improving. La bor Is plentiful and the crop is wei worked.
 Harvesting of the largest wheat an oats crops made in several years is near ly completed. The acreage in. corn unusually heavy and conditions are good
 In south Texas the crop is made.

BalIinEer's Administration

MT. Pepper gives a general and specific answer to the question as to what infer ence ought to be drawn from the testi-
 mony respecting the administration of the interior department since MT. Bal1inger became Secretary. His general answer is that there has been no administration
 worthy of the name, but only series of acts unwise in themselves, referable to no sound theory of principles or action, and that these acts have been directly re-
 sponsble for embarrassment to the Pres ident and loss to the people. ss...v
 | His specific answer is that the testi- mony taken in this investigation jestab- | fishes that the course pursued by the de- | partment has been characterized by a | lack of fidelity to the public interest | that MT. Ballinger is responsible not l merely technically and officially. but sub stantially and actually for ''the entire series of unhappy events" and that the | President would never have found him self irrevocably committed to an indorse-
 ment of the Secretary had he not at | critical periods been successfully de-
 ceived" as to the real significance of what
 was happening in the department--
 Although the administration of which
 MT. Ballinger was a part was avowedly
 committed, the brief declares. Ito a con- tinuation of the policy adopted under
 President Roosevelt of protecting from
 monopolistic exploitation the water power
 sites belonging to the people, Mr. Bal finger wilfully struck that policy stag gering blow by hastily restoring to entry power sites withdrawn by Garfield, thus l placing them within reach of uncon trolled private acquisition where they
