COOKE DECLARED NOT GUILTY

Edgar S. Cooke. who was found not
guilty of embezzling $4,000 from the
Big Four railway. was formerly local
treasurer of the road in Cincinnati
and was well known in railroad cir
cles. The belief is that the judges
charge helped to free Cooke. Judge
Hunt declaring the testimony Of Mrs.
Ford and of Warmer only made them
equally guilty If Cooke were guilty.
Cooke was the last Of those indict-
ed in connection with the $643.000
shortage of Charles L. Warriner, Gin
cinnati treasurer Of the road, to be
tried. First Warriner, indicted on nu-
merous charges. pleaded guilty to one

TO RULE a YOUNG REPUBLIc

From hungry newsboy on the
streets OF Washington to the presiden-
cy of the youngest republic In the
world is the remarkable record of
Dick Ferris of Los Angeles. Coinci-
dentally with the revolution in Mexico
headed by Madero there broke out
revolt against Mexican authority In
Lower California and one Of those who
encouraged 1t and helped to finance 1t
was Ferris. A filibustering expedition
fitted out by Ferris left San Francisco
for Lower California and without
much of struggle the weakened au-
thority of Mexico was overthrow and
the republic of Lower California cre-
ated. or this new republic Ferris has
been elected president.
Ferris was ''newsy" on the streets
of Washington twenty years ago and
found the battle Of life hard one.

FOUR COMETS
Hovering Around the Earth Keeping
Astronomers Busy.


A telegram of recent date from
Chicago states that four comets, ev-
cry one of the bashful variety, which
refuses to be seen by the naked eye
are lowering around the earth, dodg-
ing behind the sun and performing
other antics which are keeping as
tronomers busy. Two of the four are
brand new visitors and are the more
eagerly watched on that account
Two others are periodicals.
One of the visiting comets has
proved distinct disappointment
This is the Kiess comet, which was
discovered about July 7 by the Lick
Observatory, on the summit of Mt
Hamilton, near San Jose, Cal, and
was later picked up by the Yerkes
Observatory at Williams Bay Wis.
The astronomers had high hopes
that this comet would overcome its
bushfulness enough to allow it to be
seen without the aid of big glasses.
Observations made this morning at
Williams Bay, however, showed that
the comet was getting away from
the earth.

appreciated by the relatives and the
friends Of Mrs. Allen. II was a most
unpleasant and disagreeable duty
from which Judge Bell could not
shrink, but it was tempered with the
courtesy of gentleman whose SYM
pathy for womankind is unbounded
On being sentenced Mrs. Lou Allen
was calm. Her spokesman was 1leI
attorney, John ID. Wilkinson, who
pleaded for the mercy of the court
1t was in the discretion of the court
to inflict from one to twenty years.
If the prisoner were a man the SEN
tence of five years would have been
doubled. Mrs. Allen was remanded
to Jail, where she must remain until
the appeal to the Supreme Court is
settled. Should the case be re-
manded for trial on technicalities
and bills of exception, the case will
have to be retired If the jury's
verdict is sustained, Mrs. Lou Allen
will be conveyed to the penitentiary
It had been stated that Mrs. Lou
Allen could be released on bail
while the appeal was pending, but
this rule does not apply in this case
ard only in cases where the offense
is of lesser degree.

The EXPLANATION,

The Crowley Signal jibeth thusly:
There they go again. The Daily
States says when DR.. Aswell was a
boy he beat the champion oat cutter
OF Louisiana SO bad he never had the
heart to cut another oat. OF course
the Times-Democrat and the Item
will have to dig up some corn cut
ting STUNTS of Judge Hall, and the
Picayune will not fail to point out
that J. L. Michel is a pea cutter
proper" Perhaps this explains the
cutting remarks recently exchanged
by the candidates for governor.
Some of the gentlemen should lay
claim to the pie-eating champion
ship.
The Caucasian., 1911-07-30
DIR. Asweil as Subject OF COntrO-


With this heading the Picayune, a
Michel organ, says editorially:
But campaign of personalities
has begun between the supporters of
Judge Hall, gubernatorial candidate
of the Good Government faction,
and Dr. Aswell, independent candi-
date with Democratic National Com
mitteeman Ewing as his leading sup
port.
'Dr. Aswell has occupied several
high positions in the public educa-
tional service of the State and there
BY came into great prominence. He
started out as an Independent candi-
date and it is charged that he sought
recognition from the Good Govern
ment' managers before they had
chosen a candidate, but failed to Sc
cure their support, and he subse-
quently was open to offers from the
Regular Democracy, which is rep
resented in this city by the leaders,
who have been styled the Ward
Bosses
but apparently the most serious
charge that has been made against
Or. Aswell is that while the State
was doing all in its power to give its
children a free education, the bur-
den of it was unnecessarily in
creased by the highest school official
for his benefit. If not true, it should
be easily refuted. AS DR.. Aswells
candidacy has been made the subject
of special discussion within the last
few days, these and other matters
have become common property.
''Dr. AswelI occupies the position
of an Independent candidate for the
governorsh;p of Louisiana. He can
only hope for the independent vote
of the State. Mr.. Michel represents
the Regular Democrats commonly
characterized as the ring, while
Judge Hall stands for the Reform
faction of the Democrats. The real
struggle must be between them. So
far no attempt has been made to
cast personal aspersions upon either,
and it is not believed that anything
of the sort can be possible. Mr.. Mi
chel represents the Democratic
party of Louisiana, and no mere fac
ton. There is little doubt of his
election

the Naborton field has been brought

Well No. in the Naborton field is
now down about 2000 feet and it will
soon be demonstrated if there is any

strata of gas. This we'll has been
