THE SCHROEDER CASE
Ovated on Being Released at Pre-
liminary, for Killing a Man.

A few days since a man named
Schroeder killed his friend, his plea be-
ing the unwritten law. He had a pre-
liminary examination and was dis
charged In waiting were number of
his friends, by whom he was "ovated."
This ovation" of men charged with
crime is not confined to New Orleans
individuals who 'ovate" criminals and
men charged with crimes and misde-
meanors are in every community,
Shreveport not excepted. But to New
Orleans. The States says:
1T does seem that the liberation of
Schroeder, charged with the murder of
Mullen, at the preliminary hearing be-
fore Judge Aucion on Friday, was a
most un@4emly proceeding. 1t is true
that there were no eye-witnesses to the
crime outside of the two parties in
volved, but the evidence showed that
the murdered man was unarmed, and
that fact alone might have suggested the
reference of the case to the Criminal
District Court
Not only is the good name of wom-
an involved in this case, which is SO uTr-
tremendously dealt with, but human
life has been taken, the victim was un-
armed and was shot to death in the
wine-room of the man who killed him.
These facts make it imperative that the
grand jury should take the matter up
and at least give public justice chance
in he criminal courts. Human life and
the reputation of women are not baubles
to be toyed with and cast aside as SO
much rubbish"
1t would seem that instead of self
defense, that Shredder committed muir
der, and he will unquestionably be held
by the grand jury

A'BRANTES CONVICTED
Of Retailing Liquor Without License.
Gus Riley and Arthur Hangicos the
States Witnesses.

Barney A'Branter was convicted Mon
day in the District Court, Judge A. J.
Murff, of retailing liquor without a
| license.
| This conviction was secured without
''the spotter." Nor did the "anti's" ex-
ercise any activity in the case. The
tiger" operated on Texas avenue near
Jordan has long been an attraction to
those who could obtain the booze. 1t
was, as others, privileged to the poor
old man. who had to have his beer or
his whiskey, and as all such were known
or properly identified, the tiger was pre-
sumed to be comparatively safe. In this
case Gus Riley and Arthur Hangicos
were unwilling witnesses called before
the Grand Jury, and being good citizens
and in honor bound to tell the truth, did
tell the Grand Jury the truth, which re-
suited in the indictments.
When called to testify Hangicos stat
ed to the court that he had visited the
tiger and there got drink of whiskey
and a bottle of beer from A'Brantes
He drank the whiskey, put the bottle
of beer in his pocket and walked away
with it.
In his evidence Gus Riley corrobo-
rated Hangicos He was present when
Hangicos got the beer and he playfully
took the bottle from Hangicos. He saw
Hangicos go into 'Brantes' place and
return with it..
Neither Hangicos nor Riley are pros,
therefore the plant that it was trick
of the prohibitionists is ridiculous.
ABrantes was caught dead to rights.
He would not have suffered if the wit
nesses had not been called before the
Grand Jury.
Barney A'Brantes is an old offender.
He was convicted of the same offense
several months since. He may expect
the maximum, which is a fine of $500
and six months on the good roads.
In time, some of the law breakers
may be persuaded that it is more prof
table to obey the law than to defy it
with contempt

JUVENILE OFFENDERS
Should Be Restrained at the Caddo
Farm.

In Shreveport there is gang of boys,
black and white, who should be re-
strained from their activity in depreda-
tions on property. These offenders
hold the law in contempt, since they
know that they may escape imprison-
ment
Recently the Parish of Caddo ac-
quired farm on which, in time, will
be assigned the poor wanting good
home. As this farm is large in acre
age, part of it should be devised for
the restraint of juvenile offenders who
would perhaps profit from steady en-
lployment on the farm 1t is true the
farm is not ready for such service, but
good policy dictates that the suggestion
offered as to juvenile offenders should
be carried into practice as speedily as
possible.

SENATOR McENERY
His Death Is Announced from New
Orleans Where He Died This Morn
ing

The death of Samued D. McEnery has
been announced from New Orleans,
where he died this morning.
He had been feeling unwell several
days, but it was believed that few days
of rest would help him and he would
get well
The deceased was probably aged 7S
years. He was representing Louisiana
in the United States Senate and had re-
turned from Washington when he be-
came ILL.,
In the death of Senator McEnery
there is removed from the activities of
life a man who has been one of the
most prominent factors in the politics of
the State since the close of the war in
1865. He has been Governor and JUS
tice of the Supreme Court of Louisiana.
He was also a gallant Confederate sol
der and was numbered with the best
citizenship of the State. He was from
Ouachita parish, which is his home.
In his later years he provoked politi
cal criticism by voting with Republicans
on issue of protection, but this is not
the time nor place to recall these acts.
He possessed a chivalrous nature and
was true to his friends.
The removal of Senator McEnery
will probably lead to readjustment of
politics in Louisiana The vacancy must
be filed and his successor must be
named by the Legislature now in ses-
sion at Baton Rouge before its adjourn
ment about July 7.
Who will be the contestants? 1t may
be surmised that Governor Sanders may
aspire to this honor, and if he should
it may be forecasted that he would be
elected by an overwhelming majority of
the Legislature. Should he not desire
this senatorship, he may control and die
tate Mr.. McEnery's successor
The election of Governor Sanders to
the United States Senate will lead Lam
Fremont to the gorenrorship, and then
would follow i'll quick succession events
political of more than ordinary interest.

THE SMITH BILL
Said to Be a Live Wire in the House
Commission Form of Government Is
Wanted by Shreveport and Alexan-
dria-Monroe Active.

The States special dated Baton Rouge,
June ~, says: Mr. Smiths commission
form of government bill, which is on
the calendar subject to call, having been
reconsidered after failing to pass, has
become something of live wire.
The bill was ambushed the other day
through the efforts of Monroe and
Baton Rouge interests Shreveport and
Alexandria, however, are strongly fav-
orable to it and in order to get it
through for their benefit Mr.. Smith
agreed to amendments excepting Lake
Charles, Monroe and Baton Rouge
Mayor Forsythe and his immediate
friends in Monroe are against the legis-
lation, but from other sources are com
ing appeals to Mr. Smith to strike out
the exemption of Monroe.
Sheriff J. P. Parker of Ouachita came
here today to tell members of the Leg
islature that Monroe people do not wish
to be exempted. Il have always sup
ported Dr. Forsythe myself" said Mr..
Parker. Those who want Monroe in
cluded are not the enemies of Dr. For
sythe; some are, but there are others
who have always voted for him"
Representative Kaliski was busy on
the floor before the House met, seeking
support for Monroe Inclusion 'TeIe-
grams and letters are also coming from
the Ouachita capital Representative
Smith, who came back from Shreveport
this morning, said all the leading influ-
ences there, including Mayor Dickson,
are favorable to the measure.

COL. CHAS. SCHUYLER
Will Welcome an Investigation of the
Agricultural Ofice-He Is Possessed
of acts and Figures.

Baton Rouge, June 27.-Col Charles
Schuler, Commissioner of Agriculture
and immigration, who met with a Sc
rious accident three months ago, has
sufficiently recovered to be able to come
to his Office every morning He says
that he was much pleased over the man
ner in which the work was progressing,
and referring to the articles published in
a New Orleans paper, said:
"Inuendoes or insinuations of men
who know nothing about such matters
can be of but small avail. Facts and
figures alone tell the truth, and | have
persistently invited, and still invite, a
close scrutiny of the workings of all of
my departments. In April the travelling
auditors force made most rigid ex-
animation and found every receipt and
every disbursement accounted and
vouched for. Not one single cent was
out of line The department has two
separate and distinct funds, the appro-
priations by the State for strictly agri-
cultural and immigration purposes and
the funds collected by the sale of tags
| for fertilizer and feedstuff, not one dol
lar of which can be diverted to other
purpose than that specified by law
THE United States courts have decid-
| ed that State can not tax these COM
modities except for the specific purposes
of inspection, but all the States in max
ing their laws have placed the surplus
with the experimental stations All who
have investigated the matter are proud
of Louisiana's law It is the most COM
prehensive of all the States Ninety per
cent of the shipments into the State last
year were found, inspected, samples
taken and analyzed. No such record
has been shown anywhere else 1t is a
well known fact that spurious or adul-
terated goods flooded our markets be-
| fore the enactment of these laws. Many
fertilizers used by the farmers were or
ground rock, sand and other adultera-
tions.
"Feedstuffs werec omposed mostly of
hulls and chaff of various kinds, but to-
| day all this is changed and it is now
rare occurrnece to find spurious goods,
but if found the department at once
takes measures to prevent such parties
from selling in the State Many plant
ers never buy except under guarantee
that the State chemist will find Just what
was sold, and this has had a wholesome
effect on the market, and when every
body will do the same thing it will not
be long before the general verdict will
be that the fertilizer and feedstuff laws
are among the best, if not the best, on
| the statute books of the State"

WEATHER AND CROPS
Too Much Rain Is the Complaint--On
the Whole the Cotton Crop Is Max
ing Good Progress.

New Orleans Picayune: During the
past week the first complaints of unfav
orable weather conditions in the cotton
belt for quite time were received. On
the Atlantic coast and in the greater
portion of the central belt there was too
much rain, which stopped field work
and permitted the grass to get ahead of
the farmers. In Texas and Oklahoma
the weather, on the other hand. was
rather too dry and decidedly too hot
On the whole, however, no great dam
age has been done, and as the week
closes the eastern belt is experiencing
the fair weather SO much desired and
Texas and the western belt are getting
some rain.
In district so vast as the cotton belt
ideal conditions everywhere are almost
impossible, hence complaints are to be
expected from some section of the belt
On the whole, however, the cotton crop
is making good progress and although
there will always be people who are
prompt to magnify the least setback or
unfavorable condition into disaster,
there has actually been little real fault
to find with weather conditions since the
cold spell of April Even the dry period
that followed the cold snap while it de-
layed termination of the planted seed,
enabled farmers to put their fields in
the very pink of condition.
The corn crop which has been affected
by about the same conditions as the
cotton crop, is continuing TO make fine
progress, and large corn yield seems
assured Rice is also making good pro-
gress, the rains and the high stage of
water ir the river being favorable to
producers.
The sugar cane crop experienced an
other very favorable week with frequent
and heavy showers. All parts of the
sugar district have now received suf-
ficient moisture and the cane is making
rapid advances. Planters who were dis
posed to be pessirnistic some weeks ago
are now enthusiastic and are entertain
ing all sort of roseate hopes as to the
ultimate yield, some of which may not
be as fully realized as could be wished.
There is no denying the fact that the
sugar cane is growing rapidly, and is
taking on a fine and promising appear
ance. Even the spring plant cane which
was badly affected by the drouth seems
now to be doing well, and promises to
yield better than was thought possible
month ago While showers have beer
frequent, the rainfall has not been suf-
fciently continuous to stop field work
and the task Of cultivating and laying
| BY is being actively prosecuted

THEODORE ROOSEVELT
Believes the Republican Party in New
York in Danger of Defeat-Hughes
May Be Urged to the Front.


A telegram from Oyster Bay of re-
cent date says: Theodore Roosevelt may
not make a political speech, but he is
going to plunge into the fight this fall.
The colonel persists in his refusal TO
talk politics, but it may be said with
authority Fiat he will devote every eff
fort to save the Republican party from
the defeat which he thinks menaces it
in New York.
Out of the coming conference between
Roosevelt and Hughes will issue an
articulated policy They will go over
the entire political situation in New
York State Mr. Roosevelt will indi-
cate his belief that if Governor Hughes
accepts place on the United States Su
preme Bench, as the Governor has al
ready signihed his intention to do, and
withdraws from active politics, the re-
suit may be disastrous to his party.
Mr. Roosevelt probably will request
the Governor in so many words to be-
come candidate for third term. He
will leave it to the Governor to decide
whether or not he should retract his
positive statements that he will not ac-
cept another nomination, sacrifice his
place on the bench of the Supreme Court
and go back into harness for two years
more at Albany.
HUGHES FOR PRESIDENT
In Washington special to the Times
Democrat it is said that Theodore
Roosevelt is to be regarded as distinctly
hostile to the administration. Though it
was he who made Taft President, it is
plain he will never do it again. Such
was the Interpretation given by group
of congressman, gathered on their hotel
veranda this morning, of the reports
that the former President desired Gov
ernor Hughes to renounce the Supreme
Bench and again lead the cause of Re
publican reform in New York
Off the Supreme Bench, Hughes
looms very large for the presidency.
That was the sagacious reasoning of
Frank Hitchcock some weeks ago, when
he recommended to Taft that Hughes
be inferred in the court The Postmas-
ter General has the matter of renomi-
nation to look after, and the keenest
thing he has yet done, in his own esti-
nation, is TO have had Hughes removed
as a very probable adversary The ap-
pointnent of New York's Governor to
the Supreme Court was palpable evi-
renee of how nightly afraid the Taft
administration i sof him..
Now comes Roosevelt, not only to
restore that menace to denomination, but
also to give it ne wimpetus. No good
friend of Taft's would do that, declared
the breakfasted congressman. Two
years more of purifying New York,
with Roosevelt to help and approve,
would create sentiment for Hughes
throughout the country, they declared
that neither the astute Frank Hitchcock
could stay with all his patronage manip
ulation, nor grand stand finishes of con-
gressional sessions defeat, even if there
were dozen such exhibitions pulled off

LEGAL EXECUTIONS

In recent enactment of the Legis-
lature it is provided that legal hangings
will take place in the penitentiary at
Baton Rouge. individuals sentenced TO
death, in the parishes of the State, will
be conveyed TO the penitentiary for ex-
ecution. These official hangings will be
limited to at least one nEcnber of the
Board of Control, phyl, 1o3 and FIVE
individuals as witnesses. :.
When this bill was first intrOt,t ~, ii
met with such opposition as threatened
its defeat, but its advanages b1ving been
made plain, the bill was reported fav-
orably and will become active soon after
it shall have been signed by the Gov
ernor and promulgated.
The execution at Baton Rouge oi
men condemned to be hanged will prove
to be a great relief to the sheriffs who,
under the present law, are charged with
the enforcement of this most disagree
able duty. 1t may be interesting TO
know who is to hol dthe office of of
fetal hangman of the State of Louis
