PAWN CLOTHES REGULARLY.
Residents of Amsterdam Raise
Money on Sunday Garments.

Pawning their 'Sunda o-to-meeting'
clothes Monday and getting them out of
pawn Saturday night is a regular Gus
tom with some of the inhabitants of AM
sterdam. according 10 Henry II. Morgan
United States consul at that thriving
Dutch port Mr.. Morgan adds that more
than Al per cent Of the business of the
Bank van Leening. a pawnshop under
the control of the municipality, consists
of pledges on Sunday garments.
The low rate of interest charged, which
has practically driven all other pawn
shops out OF business, he says. although
there is no law controlling them. gives
some Of the thrifty citizens of AmSter-
cam the opportunity to use the money
loaned on their Sunday garments In more
profitable ways
Each article pawned costs the estab-
iiShment says Mr. Morgan. about six
cents for administration, and il Is esti-
mated that abcfit S25.isEi per annum is
lost on large number Of articles pawn
ed. which do not pay more than four
tenths of ! per cent interest.

CHARGES AGAINST NELL
SECRETARY NAGEL INTIMATES
THEY HAVE FALLEN THROUGH.
Satisfied, He Declares, With Prog
ress of Affairs in the Commits
sioner of Labor's Bureau.

1t seems likely that the charges pre-
ferred against DR.. Charles p. Neill, COM
missioner of labor by Thomas r. Daw-
ley, jr., former special agent Of the
bureau. are not sustained by the finding
OF the special committee. consisting OF
Assistant Secretary Gable and Solicitor
Earl. which was designated by Secretary
Nagel to investigate them. The Score
tary said today he had not yet reached
the point where he could make d state
ment i'm the matter further than To say
that the charges were investigated by
former Assistant Secretary NcHarg and
disposed of by him: but because the in
tegrity of the work of the bureau in the
woman and child labor investigation had
been questioned he had. at the earnest
insistence of DR.. Neill, designated
special committee to thoroughly inves-
tigate the subject.
Il may add" said the Secretary, that
nothing which has come to my attention
upon the subject has prompted me to
suspend or modify the work of the bureau
On the contrary, ! have rather given di-
rectiOnS to have the work FASTENED along
the lines on which it is being performed
at present.
amount of work that was imposed upon
! Dr. NeiD and of the satisfactory manner
I'm which it had been performed in con
nection with the administration of the
Erdman act and he felt that ought to be
taken into consideration when statements
were made of charges that from time to
time would be made against DR. Neil.
1t seems only the natural thing for
people to make charges, he said, and
really feel as if things were not normal
when some one is not doing So
The Secretary gave the impression if
he did not state so in words, that he did
not anticipate an unfavorable finding
against DR.. Neill.

channel TO ascertain whether the lcgis-

JAPAN'S LAND LAW
Bill Before Diet Regulating
Alien Ownership.
BUT ONE EXCEPTION MADE
Favors the Countries Where Japa-
nese Are Permitted to Acquire
Real Estate.
BUT ONE EXCEPTION MADE

TOXIC, February 2l.-A bill was intro
duced in the diet today providing that no
foreigner may own land i'm Japan unless
he is a native of country which per-
mits Japanese to own land within its
boundaries.
In the opinion of government officials
here the bill introduced in the Japanese
diet, which provides that no foreigner
may own land in Japan unless he is a
native of country which accords real
estate rights to japanese, would not very
materially change existing conditions
either in japan or in the United States,
so far as ownership of land is concerned.
Provisions of Treaty.
Article of the treaty of November -
1891, provides that the subjects or citi
zens OF each of the two contracting
parties may own or hire and occupy
houses, manufactures, warehouses, shops
sand premises which may be necessary
for them, and lease land for residential
ana commercial purposes, conforming
themselves TO the laws of each country

however, confer rights to either own or
hire agricultural lands and Is limited
to owning and hiring lands and the struc
lures thereon for residential and com
mercial purposes.
Some of the states of the Union pro-
hibit foreigners from owning land within
the state. In Oklahoma it is prohibited
altogether. Some Of the states permit
aliens to own land. provided they have
been naturalized or have declared their
intention to become such. That is the
law in the District of Columbia, where
the laws are enacted directly by the
United States Congress.
Nevada Excludes Chinese
Nevada makes no restrictions, except
as to the Chinese. In some states. as in
Indiana and Iowa particularly, the
amount of land which, an alien may own
is limited to $50 acres.
In Pennsylvania the limitation is 1000
acres and in South Carolina 800. In New
York and Texas the laws allow aliens
to own land if reciprocal rights are grant
ed by the country from which they came.

The McEnery Memorial,

his fellow citizens, than the

pressed in some way by them
to his memory. We feel that
the appeal which is made in
the following letter, should,
find a hearty answer among
a great number in this parish.
During the past week a
few of the late Samuel Doug

how properly to honor the me-

The method of procedure is
as follows: Put Oh the floor a
layer of sand two Or three
inches deep, and on this place
the potatoes side by side until
the sand is covered. Then
pour dry sand over them until
covered, and then place on
more potatoes and cover as be
fore. A good many layers may
thus be put on top of each 9th
er until several feet in height
has been reached. When do
ing this it may be necessary
to place some boards on the
sides and in front to keep the
sand in place. This method
of storage has been used at
the station with very satisfac
tory results.
Storing in straw. Storing
sweet potatoes in straw or hay
offers a very means to the con
sumner and ower of keeping
a small amount for home use.
In a warm room or stable,
place the potatoes in thick
lawyers of straw, where they
will not be disturbed or tramp
ed upon by those entering the
room or barn. AS the wealth
er grows colder the thickness
of the straw should be in
creased.
When storing sweet pota-
toes it will be found proftabl
to pay close attention to de-
tails. The potatoes should be
kept dry and warm, and be
properly ventilatod.-J. E.

Chief Justice E. D. White

The official announcement
made this week that Presi.
dent Taft had selected Edw.
ID. White, as the Chief Jus.
tice of the United States Su
preme Court, was received
throughout this State with
much satisfaction. The eleva-
ton of Justice White to what
is considered the highest pub
lie position in the presidency,
is a distinct honor to Louisi-
ana and to the whole South,
and there can be none but
words of praise for President
Taft, who had the courage
to select a man whose politi-
cal affiliations were oppose to
bis own, for the first place in
the highest court Of the land.
Justice White is a native of
Lafourche parish and is today
owner of the White sugar
plantation in that parish. He
has been a prominent figure
in this State for many years.
After serving his State in the
Civil War, he studied law,
and was admitted to the bar
in a short while afterwards.
He was elected to the State
Senate in 1874; in 1873 was
appointed a Justice of the
Louisiana Supreme Court and
in 1891 was elected United
States Senator. During his
term of Office as Senator, in
1893, President Cleveland APP
pointed him an Associate JUS

prnme Court.-Assumption
