KANSAS CITY, Nov 15.-United States
Senator Robert l.. owen OF oklahoma
created o sensation at today's session OF
the IRE nsmississlppi Commercial con-
gress when he declared he had every

written address to assert that vast sums
Of money were being spent by those
antagonistc to the idea.
II have every reason to believe" he
said, that this money is being supplied
by the same people who have been manu-
fact ring impure drugs and foodstuffs

Allen Says America
Behind in Aviation

WASHINGTON. Nov. 15.-with an
underlying air of bitterness General
James Allen. chief signal officer of the
army declares in his annual report that
although the United States was the first
nation to recognize the aeroplane for
military purposes, and carried out the
first official test of that invention at
Fort Myer in 1SOs,s such phenomenal
progress in this science and has been
made abroad that this country has been
left far behind in securing practical
equipment and organization for the use of
this Indispensable adjunct TO war"
Failure to find the necessary officer to
be trained as avlators and lack OF funds
are said to furnish the explanation for
this situation.
General Allen says the most notable
progress IN military aeronautics has been
accomplished by France, Germany and
England. The French have perfected
particularly effective aeronautic corps,
which was thoroughly tried out with
twenty aeroplanes in recent army
maneuyers.

Case Against wealthy and
1nflucA,tlaI Man,

LINCOLN CENTER, Kan, Nov. 15.-An
admission Of guilt in the tar party"
case came TO-DAY. Edward Ricord. the
Beverly barber, admitted that he decoyed
Miss Mary Chamberlain, the school
teacher, to the point near Shady Bend,
where she was "tarred" August last.
He asked that he be taken Immediately
before Judge Dallas Glover and be per-
mitted to enter plea Of guilty. This
vas done. Sentence was suspended until
after the trial of the other accused men.
Ricord has been in jain here for the
hast three months awaiting action on an
appeal from Justice courts sentence Of
one year for completely in the attack on
Miss Chamberlain. He was the first man
arrested in connection with the tar
party" case. 1t is alleged he was given
s. for his part in the affair
According to Miss Chamberlain, she
accompanied Rcord on the night Of the
attack under the impression that he was
taking her TO a dance. Ricord expects
lSniency as a result Of his confession.
Alleges Prejudice.
Attorneys for both sides in the case
spent the greater part of today collecting
witnesses and evidence TO be used to-
morrow, when the application for chs age
of venue of Everett G.. Clark, accused Of
leading the attack on Miss Chamberlain,
comes up for hearing. Clark contends a.
prejudice exists against him in this

1t is further charged that Prosecutor
McCanless forced Edward Ricord to
give a reporter an interview, bringing
the prisoner from the jail late at night
for that purpose.
Opinion is divided as to how long it
would take to obtain a jury in this
county should the motion for a change

Sentiment in the case is not wholly

Grover has announced his intention of

IntereSt in the case centers about
Clark, wAo is wealthy and influential.
it is generally considered that the fate
of the eight other defendants, who are
less widely known than Clark, will de-
pend largely upon the outcome of his
case. Clark is quoted as having said he

HOW LILIES CAME IN.

There is a divergence of opin-
ion of how these lilies came into
these beautiful lakes.
There is no doubt but on one
question: and that is that the
drainage canal of the Atchafa-
laya, Red River and Bayou Boeuf
Levee District brought them in.
President Richard, of the
Board above mentioned, en-
phatically claims that lilies from
Bayou Rouge were making their
way along the old State canal to
SWayze Lake when this canal
was continued. by the work of
the levee board. However that
may be, the lilies came from
Bayou Rouge, and came into the
lakes via the levee boards drain
age canal. And their presence
has absolutely paralyzed all the
fishing in the chain Of lakes
which the best experts in the
State pronounce the finest in the
land, and where, if the lilies are
exterminated, a State fishery
might be established.

These are a few Of the volun-
tary expressions made at the
meeting and barbecue held al
Second Lake on last Tuesday.
/ Second Lake is situated in the
Northern portion of the parish,
twenty miles from Opelousas,
and three miles from Melville.
On it's West bank is located the
clubhouse Of the Opelousas Rod
& Gun Club, an organization
formed some four years ago.
When the Club bought the
property there abounded fresh
water fish of all kinds in Second
Lake and tributary waters. One
could go there and within an
hour or more make a catch suf-
ficient to supply the wants of
those in camp. Perch, SAGA
lais, trout, gasbourgos, and 9TH
er fresh water fish, were there
waiting for the angler.
The members of the club spent
considerable money fixing up the
Steam gasoline boats
piled in the waters, as well as
oar crafts. It was a favorite
resort, and excursions
were given to that and other
lakes along the Opelousas, Gulf
& Northeastern Railroad every
Sabbath Day. Those of the ex-
cursionists who did not belong
70 the Club either stopped at
Darbanne. SWayze, Petit Prairie,
and Half Moon on this side Of
Second Lake, or went on and
stopped beyond the bridge which |
'panned Second, and which was
'eserved for non-members, or
vent to First Lake or Burton |
lake, just beyond.
This happy condition prevailed
lntil the water lilies, let in by a
anal built for the State, abso-
utely choked up all of these
axes mentioned, and now fish
ng is strictly a matter of a lucky
atch occasionally occasionally,
We say.
