A PEANUT PLANT

Shreveport has the opportunity of Sc
curing peanut plant, at which, if es-
tablished, will be headquarters for all
peanuts grown in North Louisiana, East
Texas and South Arkansas. The pro-
ducts of South Louisiana and of Mis-
sisslppi could also he handled at this
point. The Barnes Peanut Company is
well disposed towards Shreveport, which
possesses many advantages over other
points, but the rates of freight, which
must be secured, bear as strongly to-
wards the location of such an enterprise
as natural advantages.

Veteran Pedestrian Expects 20 Finish
Long Walk In Ninety Days.
With seventy years to his credit and
still displaying the sprightly step Of q
youth, Edward Payson Weston, the
best known pedestrian in the world.
will start at Los Angeles, Cal. on his
next transcontlnental walk on Feb. [,
| with New York as his goal. This will
| make the second time that Weston
will have walked from ocean to ocean,
and he expects he will be able to ac-
complish the $500 miles in ninety
days.
On March 10 of last year the veteran
walker started from New York city
to walk to San Francisco In 100 days.
Billiards. and unlocked for impedi-
ments to favorable progress held him
from completing the distance 10 the
scheduled time. the trip taking 1O4
days and hours. He figures that the
handicaps which interfered with him
then will be overcome by taking a
more southerly route and reaching the
neighborhood of New York when there
will be no snow banks to plow through.
According to his schedule, he will ar
rive at the city hall in New York city
on May II.
Following his usual policy, Weston
will do no walking on Sundays, taking
this day for rest after q week of
hard walking. In view of this he will
make Monday a record breaker for dis
lance, and the schedule shows through
out that he will do greater amount
Of walking Monday than on any other
day. His longest trip laid out for one
day is May 16, when he will cover
distance of seventy-four miles. from
Rhineclif to Ossinlng. N. Y.
The FIRST stage of his journey after
leaving Los Angeles will be along the
route of the Atchlson, Topeka and San
Ia Fe railroad During this part Of the
journey he will be accompanied by
hendcar, which will carry his provi-
sions, this being necessary owing to
the spRrsely settled condition of the
country. This aid was accorded to
the aged pedestrian through the cour-
tesy Of President Ripley of the Santa
Fe railroad.
Weston takes with him a letter from
Mayor Gaynor Of New York to the
mayor of Los Angeles, and commit
tee Is already at work In that city to
make the event Of bis starting on the
long tramp one of memorable charac-
ter. A number of Weston's friends in
New York city are planning big cele-
bration on the completion Of the walk.
Carnegie hall has been secured for the
occasion, and there will be many note
worthy men as speakers. including
Mayor Gaynor.
As he is making the present effort
for fast time the veteran pedestrian
will not stop at any points to deliver
lectures. He has received many offers
Of such d nature, but has declined
them all.

BERKELEY, June 24.-A correspond

marriage at the county clerks office
by Rev. j. H. Pierce of-Charles s. Bur-
ling, Berkeley mechanic and in
ventor. to Mrs Elizabeth Blackburn
of Grisby. Eng.
The couple wrote to each other fre-
quently since they first met in Liver
pool at the home of the groom's sister
four years. go, and when Burling lost
his first wife few. months ago he
began an ardent correspondence by
postcard.
Eventually he sent the English
woman a missive asking her to come
ceiving her reply. Burling sent by cable
the cost of transatlantic and trans
continental passage BY the time the
bride elect reached the coast Burling
had put his affairs in order for the
marriage. The couple obtained a mar
riage license and were united at once.
They are now living in apartments at

Burling said he knew his wife be-
fore their marriage having met her
twice-the first time In Liverpool and
the second time in New York three
years ago. He had not seen her since

Burling has patented a machine,
which he said is modelled on the action

FOR SIX YEAR GIRL
Father Claims Child After De-
serting Wife and Declaring
Marriage Was AnnuIled

little brown eyed youngster of 9
years quantity and daintily dressed in
pink poke bonnet and little dark coat,
was the center of interest yesterday
afternoon at the session OF the
juvenile court. with Judge Lennon
presiding ard all the relations on both
sides turning out in full force to claim
her custody. Iris Pearl wolcott was
the name of the little girl who at the
end Of the days proceedings was al
lowed TO remain in the custody of her
mother, Mrs. Manuel Vinaigre.
The story behind the contest dates
back to 1909. The child's mother was
married in 1892 in this city to Edward
John Wolcott Jr., Il years old, with
out the consent of his parents. He
subsequently left her, telling her that
because OF his minority the marriage
had been annulled. Since then she has
been twice married. her second hus-
band, who was an actor, having died.
and her present husband, Manuel
Vinaigre. being employed as a waiter
in the Midway. where she sells beer.
For the last few years the little girl
has been supported by her mother, and
since her marriage to Manuel Vinaigre
has been living with his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Manuel vinaigre, at their
home in HolIister, San Benito county,
Where Vinaigre senior is employed as
foreman Of CASTOR Ashes ranch. The
case was placed in the hands of Porter
Ashe, who testified to his knowledge
of the thorough respectability of the
child's guardians, whom he had known
personally for many years.
Young WoIcott has only recently
traced the whereabouts of his little
girl. In December he began suit for
divorce against his wife and his father
claimed the child in his sons name, al
leging that the mother was unfit to
raise her.
Witnesses were called on both sides.
the fact of the mothers respecta biIity
and her desire to shield the child from
ali knowledge of evil being proved by
Salvation Army witnesses and en-
ployes at the Midway
Judge Lennon dismissed the petition
and ordered that the child should be
left with her mother without interfer-
ence until her return to the home of the
Yinaigres in Hollister.
