BODY IDENTIFIED
Mrs. ], NJ. Mcclellan, an Apiarist OF
Bee Man" from Near Frierson.

The protests of the press against tbs
burial without examination or identif-
cation of a man found dead in the cul-
vert under the Kansas City Southern
railway near the convent had its effect
and led to the disinterment Friday.
The very thought that man, presumed
to have been murdered mysteriously
had been buried in the patter's field
l7urriedfy and without any effort to Sc
cure evidence or information concern
ing the nan and his death, was revolt
ing.
It was a neglect of duty most repre-
llcnsible and which has been condemned
in the strongest terms by all classes OF
the people.
The body was ex11umed at the insti-
cation of Detective Rascoe, who in
Cured an indebtedness of about $40.
After the body had been exhumed,
its identification was reached conclusive
1y by papers found in a pocket of the
trousers he wore Among those was a
bill of lading for a barrel of honey he
had shipped from Frierson by the Kan
sas City Southern. The name of the
unfortunate man was ]. NJ Mcclellan
He was an apiarist, or bee man. It
was developed that on reaching Shreve-
port he had INDUCED too freely of in
toNieants. He was taken to the police
station last Saturday night drunk, but
was released when he had sobered.
The articles found in the mans pock-
Ct were identified by police officers who
had recorded his arrest at the station.
After the body had been identified it
was returned to the grave
A coroner's jury empaneled by DIR.
Alexander failed to determine the cause
of death.
This death may be added to other
murders mysterious which have shocked
the community
On the subject of inquest the law is
plain. It is clearly the duty of the cor
oner to inquire into every death reported
to him, when, as IN this case, the body
indicated violence or other cause re-
quiring investigation. An inquest by the
coroner is intended to ascertain the
cause 81 death, The identification of the
deceased, and if suspicious to obtain all
information possible with the view of
assisting the State in the apprehension
and the conviction of the person charge
able with the crime
10 view body badly decomposed
and 70 exhuune a body III the stages of
decay Is very disagreeable duty from
which no officer Of the law must shrink.
Had the body not been exhtmed the
identity of the unfortunate victim would
never have been established
III connection with this case the query
may be pertinent Where did the vic
tim, possibly Of murder, obtain his
booze?

Is for the Commission Form of Govern

The position of Mr. Eastman, candi-
date for mayor, is plain:
! desire all my friends to know just
exactly where | stand on this matter of
the change in the. proposed form of gov
ernment, and | wish to say to them,
through the columns of your paper, that
whether | am high man or low man in
the first race for the mayoralty, my en-
ergies will be expended in behalf of the
adoption of the commission form of
government when that question is de
cided at the polls on September IS. I
belive that the change in the form of
government is absolutely essential to the
welfare and progress of Shreveport.
Therefore if I am in the second race
will work for the commission form of
government Il [ am not III the second
race | will still work heart and soul for
the adoption of the new system. In
other words, [ want it understood that
it makes no difference how the vote

A MENACE TO NATIONAL LIFE.
The liquor traffic, with its open bar
and its agencies for evil and vice, is
burden and menace to national life
and strength and power-Bossier Ban
ner.
The liquor traffic is a curse which
some men approve; which some men in
office encourage because they expect to
derive some benefit from this accursed
evil influence
The saloon is as declared by DR.. J. w.
Zachary of Texas, Americas curse
It is the sum of all vil1ainies, the source
of most crime, the fountain of most
misery, the devils best friend and mans
worst enemy, and yet this evil is not
only tolerated, but it is licensed and it
IS from this evil that some men, seek
ing office, expect to secure the votes suf-
ficlent to elect them, but the day of
reckoning is coming on apace, when the
liquor traffic and the office seeker and
the holder of office through this curse
will be swiped from the earth.

ORGANIZED FRIDAY NIGHT BY
YOUNG MEN.
OF LAW

All Law Abiding Citizens, Irrespect-

Elected.

The officers of the Ful1ilove Club or
ganized in the court house Friday night
by young men, citizens of Shreveport,
are:
A. B. Freyer, president.
E. +. McKinnon. vice president.
P. N. Brown, secretary.
The attendance was greater than had
been Anticipated, while the enthusiasm
was intense. It was a compliment to
Judge Frllilove which he fully appre-
ciates,
The organization of this club is not
in a sense exclusive. It is opened to all
good citizens, but such citizens who are
SO inclined may follow the example OF
the young men who have organized the
Fullilove Club.
Fortunately this is a free country, and
Shreveport is freer still, with license
which exceeds all the limits of what is
called liberty
At this gathering there were heard
several gentlemen in pleasant and en-
couraging addresses, of whom may be
mentioned Mr.. E. E. McKinnon and J.
B. Ards
The club has programmed plan Of
campaign. Every member Of the club
is constituted committee of one to
talk Fulliloye and commission form OF
government. Other candidates may do
likewise.
The speech of the night was by Judge
Fullilove. There is no nlistalsing or
tnlisconstruing where he stands. He fa-
vors the commission form Of govern
mert for the reason that it is more re-
sponsive TO tlie present needs of shreve-
port than the mayor and fifteen council

elected be would in no way disturb the
FIRE department, which was in a sense
noIl-po1itical and was under splendid
management and good discipline, but
there would be some changes in the
police department. In referring to the
law, Judge Fullilove said that about the
only law being enforced was for being
drunk and down. He declared that there
were more houses of assignation, more
near beer joints and more negro va
grants than ever before in Shreveport,
and that if he were elected he would

things, as when he wanted to make

The reason given for Kiram's

his desire to superintend personally

They are valued at s250,000.

Swimming Requirement.

Drowning accidents are not con-
tined to any one season of the year,
but summer and late spring find peo-
pie seeking diversion more than at
any other time of year, In and upon
the water.
In view Of the fact that many ex-
cellent swimmers have met death by
drowning, 1t would be obvious folly to
say that ability to swim is an infal-
lible preventive. He must reason
oddly, however. who would say that
ability to swim does not constitute a
very decided advantage to those lovers
of the water who possess It. In fact,
1t VIII probably be admitted that If all
persons who are able to walk were
also abe to swim. the annual list Of
drowning casualties would be but a
small fraction of what It is-Manches-

SCARFS FOR EVENING WEAR
Rich Materials for ornamentatioa Are
the Fashionable Fad of the
Moment.

Persian silks, chiffons and ribbon
are unquestionably the craze of the
moment for trimmings, for Innings,
for whole waists, for belts and ties
and even for art embroideries. These
oriental textures In their soft fascina.
ting coloring are how to be seen ev-
erywhere.
The persian scarfs are most eff.
fectiye bordered with rharabout or os-
trich silk. For all sorts of work bags
and for cases for underwear, ties and
tabots, etc., the lighter toned persian
silks are charming.
From a two yard length of persian
chiffon fascinating evening wrap for
midsummer can be fashioned by a
girl herself with little skill required.
If double width the chiffon should be
cut down the center and pointed at
each end, gathered IN slightly at the
seam which forms the center of the
wrap. This persian chiffon is then
lined on both sides with white or
some pale colored chiffon or chiffon
cloth through which the persian color.
ing will still be distinct. Where the
cape falls over the shoulders the three
thicknesses of chiffon should be gath
cred in loosely over from one to three
rows of thick cording. The ends of
the scarf or wrap are then finished
with a deep sewing silk fringe, white
or color to tone in with the chiffon.
A border of satin or taffeta will be
effective, but If there is an old mara
bout boa that can be utilized, a far
handsomer wrap will be the result
This wrap calls for no fitting. cut
ting or draping-simply a straight
length of chiffon about two yards In
length by yard in width. A straight
strip of soft satin of the same dimen-
sions can be utilized In the same way
If a somewhat warmer wrap is de-
sired. For midsummer, however. three
thicknesses of chiffon will be sufi-
cient, and carried out In pale, cool
colorings this persian cape is sure to
evoke constant admiration.
