together and shout 'whoop-la' for
anyone with political aspirations. "
Louisiana is absorbed in the task
of overcoming the boil weevil and
developing her natural resources. In
every district her people are en-
gagged in an enthusiastic effort at
diversification. They are raising
truck, fruit, peanuts, poultry and
stock in greater quantities than ever
before. They are encouraging the
movement which has set in for the
peopling of her empty spaces. More
land is changing hands for agricul-
tural purposes all over the State
than ever before in her history and
there is an increasing tide of settlers
coming to work with US in the
upbuilding Of the. commonwealth.
When a people are thus engaged it
is difficult to divert their attention
to politics unless a great emergency
arises for solution. 4
II our government, municipal and
State, has not been all it might be,
it has certainly not been sufficiently
incapable to deter the capitalist and
the investor from coming here, nor.
SO far as we have yet been able to
see, to arouse our own people to any
very widespread resentment. II there
are differences of opinion as to pol
Iicies, at least there is no evidence
that the people believe there has
been any lack Of honesty in the adj
ministration.
In good season the people will
turn aside from their daily routine
to take up the question OF the selec-
ton of new officials and the adop-
ton Of new policies; but it's clear
they do not consider that season yet
close at hand.-New Orleans Daily

The old, time -honored drug bust.
ness conducted at the corner Of Clay

sixty-one years under the successive
names of Hardaway 4 White, Har.
away & Cassell, and, latterly, A.
G. Cassell Company, a partnership,
is to increase its capital and incor-
porate under practically the same
name. The need for first-clase
wholesale drug business in this Sec
tion is recognized and the capital
for the enterprise is assured. Plans
have been carefully made and the
charter published. As soon as the
charter is approved by the Cover
nor, immediate steps will be taken
to launch the enterprise and its sue
cess is foregone conclusion. The
high standard of reliability which
has characterized the business in the
past will be maintained under the
new organization and, with ample
capital at command, it will be able
to successfully compete with larger
concerns and materially increase the
territory covered.
Business men of tried and proven
qualifications and ample resources
will be interested; the store budding
will be rebuilt and made more COM
modious and a perfect organization
will be built up. The long career,
and reputation for reliability. en-,
joyed by this business are a sourc<

(SpeciaI to The TINES,

Crown Point, Ind. March e9--The
taking OF the evidence was concluded
in the case of Carl Bauer VS.. The

cial Judge Frank Pattee OF Crown
Point yesterday.
A number OF witnesses were heard

was nothing of vital Importance which
came up yesterday.

submitted. The attorneys will appear
before Special Judge Pattee again two
weeks from next Saturday,
At that time both sides will submit
special findings of fact and the argu-
ments on these will be had. After the

Hammond Loses Out in Gov
eminent Designation For
Establishment of Postal
Savings Bank by Post
master General.

Although Postmaster General Hitch
cock yesterday designated the Gary
postoffce one of the places where a
postal savings bank is to be established.
Postmaster John w. Call received no
official instructions from Washington
to this effect, although he expects them
within the next few days
Instead of being a rival to the Gary
banks the new institution Will serve to
increase deposits. There are hundreds
of foreigners in Gary who fear The
banks but who will deposit their money
in a government institution
The government will deposit its daily
receipts in one or more of the Gary
banks. Interest of two per cent will
be paid on postal deposits. No &C
counts may be in excess of $500 and no
more than 500 may be deposited in a
single month
There is sufficient room in the Gary
postoffice for the new department and
IT will probably be placed in the money
order division.

Garry Out Terms of It's

While Judge Virgil s. Refter still
has under advisement the question of
granting an appeal in the injunction
matter in which he decided for the
Gary & Southern and against the Gary
& Interurban railway company, 1t Is
admitted by the attorneys asking for
the appeal that there is no chance that
the court will rule in favor of the Gary
& Interurban Railway Co.
1t is taken as a matter of law that
there is no appeal from the decision Of
the court in a case OF this kind and
the plaintiff does not expect the court
to grant its motion for an appeal
So while the court has not indicated
his decision on the question it is ac-
copied by the attorneys on both sides
as foregone conclusion that the ap-
peal will not be granted.

DORSEY MURDER TRIAL
BEGINS THIS A. N,
Attorney Bruce Expects to
Put Up Stubborn De-
Tense For His Client.

The trial of Henry Dorsey. colored.
Brown of Gary, also colored. came UP
in the Lake Superior court before
Judge Lawrence Becker. court room
No. 2. this morning.
One of the features of the case so
far is the fact that the jury was
selected by both sides without having
had a single juror challenged. This is
the first time IN the history of the Lake
Superior court that a jury in a murder
trial has been selected with perfect
unanimity OF choice
While 1T was expected that the selec-
ton of the jury would take all morn
ing it was actually selected in less
than an hour and the trial OF the case
began at ten o'clock.
The state is represented by Attor-
ney Ralph w. Ross and the defense IS
represented by Attorney Milo Bruce OF
Hammond, who was appointed by the
Judge to try the case
While 1t was expected at first that
the case would be a one sided affair
Attorney Milo Bruce has succeeded in
securing some evidence OF extenuating
circumstances.
The murder happened in Gary sew
eral weeks ago when the defendant l.
alleged to have cut the throat of John
Brown without provocation. It will
be maintained by the state that the
murder was unprovoked while the de-
Tense will maintain that the murder
was in self defense

CASE IN STATU QUO

The Hamilton-Kais saloon license
controversy is in statu quo pending the
approval Of Judge Reiter of Admins
traitor Jim Smiths election to run the
place until the license expires
1t is understood that both sides now
understand that the right to run a
saloon in that place cannot. under the
new law, extend over a greater period
of time than the life of the present Ii
eense. which is six months.
This means that the site will have
to be abandoned for saloon purposes
and can never be used as such until
the Proctor lew is repealed or the city
grows to such proportions as to limit
the number of saloons TO one to every
500 Inhabitants.
