FRISCO ROAD TO BUILD
into PORT BARRE
Another Line FrOm the Nsrth Is The Latest
PrstsGt Of The Big Road.
MEMPHIS TO PORT BARRE
Kew Rssd Nads Necessary by the FallIag
Through Of the Gould Deal Fifth Road
For Port Barre.

New Orleans, Dec. 5.-The
building of another line of rail
road leading into Louisiana has
been determined on, and work is
to be commenced as soon as the
legal arrangements have been
completed. The road is to be
the Memphis, Arkansas and
Louisiana; it is to start at or near
Port Barre, in St. Landry parish,
west of Baton Rouge, and thence
run to the north line Of Louisiana,
and thence through the State of
Arkansas to a point near or op-
posite Memphis. This means a
line from Memphis to Port Barre,
where it will connect with the
New Iberia and Northern and
the New Orleans, Texas and
Mexico, both Frisco lines.
The new road is a Frisco fac
tor and is intended to take the
place of the arrangement which
that road had made with the
Gould system to come in over the
Texas and Pacific, but which the
Gould lines repudiated. It will
give the Frisco two lines to Mem
phis, one on each side of the
river, and is the line that was
under contemplation when the
Gould lines agreed to the ar
rangement with the Frisco. On
account of that offer the Frisco
gave up its own track scheme for
financial reasons, it being
cheaper to have one line than
two.
Mr.. Yoakum, however, has
been at work on the plan since,
and it will be pushed ahead. All
of the directors in the new line
are Frisco men. B. L. Winchell
is one of the big men of the sys-
tenn and j. M. Burguieres is
president of the New Iberia, St.
Mary and Eastern, A. T. Perkins
is vice-president of the St. Louis
Union Trust Company and the
railroad expert of the company.
Colonel Dufour is attorney for
the Frisco and Ivy Preston is a
Frisco man as is also J. H. Ell
lott. Charles I. Denechaud is
an attorney also. The capital
stock is fixed at $25, 900, 600. Mr..
Winchell is president, Mr.. Elliott
vice-president, and Mr.. Preston,
secretary and treasurer.

There is a land in the South
west Pacific, where a Woman's
chances of matrimony depend
largely upon the shape Of her
head. In far off Malekula the
conical head, like the tiny feet
of China is an essential to class
distinction. This mark of beauty
is obtained in much the same
manner as are the little feet. AS
soon as possible after a child is
born, the careful and thoughtful
mother wraps around the in
fants head a piece of plated mat
over which she coils a strong
cord around and round, tighten
ing it from time to time in order
to produce the coveted conieal
shape. The crown of.the head Is
left free to grow upwards and
backwards into the admired
point. The most approved head
Is that which recedes straight
back from the eyebrows at an
angle of forty-five degrees and
straight up from the back of the
neck until the two lines meet in

STEEL HAS A BIG Week.
Buying of Materials Plays a
Large Part in Present
Improvement.

More definite assurance regarding
the crop and more pronounced out
break of purchasing of deferred re-
quirements have combined to make
this week the most favorable from the
standpoint of tonnage placed that has
been experienced in the local steel
market for more than a year. The
buying of materials. the postponement
of which was inadvisable If not i'm
possible from maintenance stand
point. is conceded to be playing
larger part in the present Improvement
in steel than generally is remembered.
and it is this factor which enters into
account when the week just closed is
considered exceptional
The leading local mills bookings
above 100000 tons have been at about
twice their capacity, which is consid-
cred surprising in view of the fact
that the average of late has been about
20 per cent of the same standard. while
one-half of the weeks record would be
looked upon as a fair normal. The
business centers largely in platee,
structurals and bars. though orders
from the railroads for steel rails are
an important item in the aggregate.
OF a total OF rails placed in a week.
amounting to the greater part of 1o0.-
600 tons. more than 10000 tons went to
the Illinois Steel Company alone. other
orders including 1927 tons placed with
the Carnegie Steel Company and 2,420
with the Tennessee Coal and Iron Com
pany. There was an official report" of
the closing of 10000 tons by the Chi
cago Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad,
but this is an old order. placed several
weeks ago. part of which already has
been delivered.
Agricultural implement interests
continue to AFFORD a very good tonnage.
and the total from this source in the
last few weeks has been unusually
large Probably the largest part of
this demand already has been supplied
though there still Is considerable
tonnage to be looked for from tiis
quarter. Steel for cars is looking up

SUICIDE BELIEVED
TO Be A FAKE
Howard Burtiere's Motive
in Deceiving Police, How
ever, Is a Mystery.
Especial to THE TIMEs)

Indiana Harbor. July 24.-The police
have received no word in response to
the telegram they sent to ]. w. Butler,
5i2 Cass avenue. Detroit, regarding the
supposed suicide of Charles Butler.
The man who brought in the note
which apprised of the supposed suicide
has disappeared since then, and 1t is
now believed that this man, who gave
his name as Howard BuFtiere. was none
other than the man named in the note
Sergeant Frank Barker declares that
he noticed a similarity in the descrip-
ton of the bearer of the note and the
one described therein, also that the
signature of "Burtiere'' when asked to
sign his name, appeared strikingly like
the writing in the note.
The Charles Butler supposed to have
lost his life was described in the note
as being minus one finger and pos
sessed of a number of gold teeth. Bur
there" was similarly marked. The fact
that the telegram, which was sent COL
Lee. TO the address named in the note.
was apparently delivered, the police
not being notified to the contrary by
the telegraph company, coupled with
the fact that no reply has been re-
ceived, leads to the belief that the
truth of the message is doubted

TO insure the accumulation of a sinking
fund of sufficient proportions to meet
approximately 100000 worth of bonds
due on the state debt in two payments
during April and May. 1915.
The entire sinking fund of the state
is now enguifed in the general fund.
Two transfers have been made from
the sinking fund to the general fund
this year, one approxfmating s239.000
and the other $14s.964.45, transferred

To Offset the loss of the sinking fund

be taken by the next session of the

Prepared to Pay on Bonds
To insure the accumulation of enough
funds in the sinking fund to meet the
100000 worth of state debt bonds due
in 1915, the 1911 legislature placed an
additional tax levy of III cents on tie
800 in effect beginning In 1912 for this
purpose. ) This makes the total sinking
fund tax levy of the state for the en-
suing year Az cents on the 500.
Since members of county boards of
review began to appear before the state
board of tax commissioners to plead for
the UNFOLDING by the board of the as
sessments of real estate placed on the
counties by the boaro the opinion has
prevailed at the state house that COM
munication had gone out from the state
board of tax commissioners to the effect
that the counties of the state would be
expected to show an average increase
in the assessment of real estate of 10 per
cent. Where this idea came from Mr.
