It is safe to say that nine out of ten women
would prefer the stage. Margaret Ellington was
confident seven months ago that she would like
to darn socks She already was great actress.
She said she didn't like 1t. She was an Illinois

This is what will befall Richard Parr, Gus

GOVERNOR SANDERS
PRESENTS MESSAGE

Baton Rouge, La, May 9.-In his mes
sage to the Louisiana general assembly
which convened in biennial session hen
this afternoon Gov. J. Y. Sanders advo-
Gated legislation in favor of good roads.
the encouragement of diversiicatfon in
farming. the reclamation of swamp lands.
the abolition of public hangings. the en-
actment of laws providing severe pun
ishment for persons engaged in the So
called white slave traffic ana statutes
which the state supreme court recently
declared applied to pure blooded negroes
but not to quadroons octoroons or other
persons of mixed blood ~ fs.
The governor advocates the use of the
term colored races which will carry the
enforcement of the laws against all per-
sons of mixed blood no matter how slight
the faint may be.
1t was agreed at today's session that
bills and resolutions connected with the
promotion of an international exposition
at New Orleans in 1915 to celebrate the
have the right of way over all other
legislation. The sentiment of the house
as we'll as the senate appeared to be
not in favor of many more laws but the
Improvement and strict enforcement of
those now existing.
So far no one appears to have given
any consideration to either statewide
prohibition bill or the re-establishment
of horse racing at New Orleans. That
such measures will take up much OF the
time of the legislature is barely, possible.

MANN EXPLAINS THE
CANADIAN SITUATION

Washington, May 9.-Apropos of the
announcement by Canada of increased
duties on wood pulp and print paper
and the prohibition of the expectation
of pulp wood from crown lands. Repre-
sentative Mann of Illinois, who led the
fight in Congress during the tariff dis
cussion for lower duties In the United
States on those articles, said today:
"In view of the Canadian situation
we can adopt one of two policies: first
pass an act of Congress taking off the
duty on paper coming from any province
which permits the free expectation OF
pulp wood. wood pulp and paper; Sec
ond. negotiate reciprocity treaty with
Canada to the same end; third continue
the present status and ruin one-half of
our paper manufacturers and greatly in
crease the price of print paper-how
much no one can tell"
Congressional action this year on the
feature of the tariff or any other fea-
ture, however ia unlikely. The repub-
lican leaders would resist any effort to
open up the tariff question.

Stock Markets Since the Death of
King and Brokers Take Hold

New York. May 9.--The stock market
went through many variations of specu-
lative temper today and showed feel
Ing of hesitation in the retention of any
of Its moods, until the firmness of the
final advance
Business in London had got well I'M
der way before the opening hour. giving
time to demonstrate the feeling of con-
hdence there In the ability to resist
the depression of the death OF the king
OF England.
This result, in London, was ascribed
partly to the strong tone displayed on
the New York and Continental stock
markets on Saturday, while businets
was suspended in London, but the reflex
on New York of the strong London
market today was not the less pro-
nornced. The calmness of the London
financial markets was due partly, also. to
the opinion formed over the Sunday in
terval that something like a Truce would
be adopted in the political constitutional
questions affecting the British govern
ment. A postponement of the struggle
involved, it was felt, would do much
toward bringing security to the finan-
cial markets.
Large orders for purchase of stocks In
New York from foreign markets gave an
earnest of the genuineness of the conf
derce thus expressed.
With this manifestation of opinion
on the London position the subject SEEM
ed to pass out of consideration by the
New York stock market, which turned
itself to the appraisement of new ele-
ments in the problem. Very large i'm
portance was attached to the govern
nent report on the May first condition
of the wheat crop as a factor in shaping
opinions. The first reaction in stocks
from the reflected London strength was
due to advance fears of a poor report.
Selling by western wire houses on that
account wiped out about all the open
