SWARMING TO HALL.
Vernon Strong for Good Government
AsWeli Draws Few Recruits from
Ring Candidate, Says Pitree.

New Orleans Item Nov IS: Mr.. Co
lumbus Pitree of Leesyille, Vernon
parish, who is at the MonteleOne
Hotel, said Wednesday that Judge
Luther f. Hall and Congressman A,
?. Pujo will carry Vernon in the
January primary. Mr. Pitree de-
clares the White lake deal has driV-
en- many voters from the business
candidate, Mr.. Michel. These yot-
erS, he says, first divided between
Judge Hall and Dr. James b. ASwelI.
and then, as the impression gained
that DR.. ASWcli was certain to be put
out Of politics at the first primary,
they practically all went over to
Judge Hall. Congressman Pujo,
whom the Sanders men beat by four
votes in Vernon when he sWampei
James J. Bailey with majority Of
2000 III the last run for Congress III
the Seventh District, will carry
against both Governor Sanders and
Congressman Broussard by a vote
approximately the same as Halls
Mr.. Pitree's predictions coincide
with those of a Good Government
canyasser who recently visited Cal
casieu, Vernon and Sabine parishes.
There will be 1900 or 2O00 votes
polled in Vernon next January" said
Mr.. Pitree. Judge Hall will get at
least 1900. DR.. AsWell and Mr.. Michel
were running close for second place
when the details Of the White lake
transaction began to be discussed.
Judge Hall and DIR. Aswell seemed to
gain about the same from Mr.. Mi
chel, and then there started a de-
cided drift from both the doctor and
Mr.. Michel to Judge Hail.

THE SOUTH BEING ROBBED.

On Tuesday, November Il, Judge
Emory Speers charged the Federal
Grand Jury at Savannah, Ga, that it
would be its duty to investigate and
determine whether cotton bears
have been active III the southern
district of Georgia. and to frame
their bills accordingly"
In connection with this action of
Judge Speers it is stated authorita-
lively that when a few days since
Congressman Allen Of South Caro-
lima informed Attorney General
Wickersham that, as alleged, a bear
pool had deliberately depressed
prices on The New York Cotton Ex-
change some three cents a pound,
thus robbing the Southern producer
Iof an amount approximating si05,-
100000, that this official blandly re-
piled that he has no knowledge of
such a combination; in other words,
as says the Atlanta Constitution.
the Department of Justice admits
that it sees but one side of its job
that of proceeding against attempts
to maintain prices, or to prevent
their reaching lower levels. OF the
other-equally as important, that of
safeguarding the interests of the
producers against speculative bear
raids-it knows nothing No doubt it
regards that feature as of SO trivial
importance as not even to study the
legal side of it.
THE Attorney General, inevitably,
convicts himself of one of two
things: Of being a bull in a china
shop, ignorant Of the requirements
Of his high office, incompetent to
discharge them, OF OF possessing
such ineradicable mental and moral
lbias that he looks square past the
mission-massed producer and sees
only the interests of the market
thimble-rigger. For the prosecution
he has taken to the Supreme Court
was based on the complaint of
welching bear gamblers, and the de-
partment had not turned hand I'M
til their squeal reached its ears.
TO protect this precious crowd,
1T can dig, delve. find legal grounds
and evidence. TO protect the pro-
-ducer-it can find nothing! 1t is a
fragrant, strange admission, to
come from department assumed
to enforce, impartially, the laws Of
this country Coupled with the re-
port that some of its high officials
previously sustained important con-
nections with the New York Cotton
Exchange, it points the impartive
duty of Congress to probe! The
shamelessness of the thing is nom
partisan.
IF the Department of Justice is
going to abandon the American pro-
Queer to the wolves. the country
ought to know it.

Jutlue l.. +. Hall.

Guardian Journal: The sleuth-
hounds have pursued Judge Hal
ever since he became a candidate
They have gone back to his boyhood
days; they have gone over the Diary
of his life down to the present, and
behold what have been their find
ings. The sins of his whole life con-
sist of having requested aid in po-
lltical way to a friend, and for not
resigning a seat he never occupied
Is it probable that another man
competent to fill the gubernatoriaI
office could be found whose life from
the cradle to middle age has been
furnished by as few sins as are
charged to this man? We doubt Sc
riously if such is the case.

Political Graft.

Mansfield Enterprise: One of the
strongest weapons used by the New
Orleans bosses to coerce the people
is to manipulate the assessments
The Times-Democrat recently ex-
posed the fact that suburban city
lots belonging to some of the city
bosses are assessed at S38 each
while silimar lots just across .the
street are valued at $500 to S4OC
each. That is simply in accord with
the universal practice of those who
live by political graft.

SLEEVE STYLES
VARY GREATLY.
Tailored Models Full Length
and Lingerie Ones Fuller.

In discussing waists the Dry Goods
Economist says:
THE question of sleeve lengths has
been somewhat disturbing, but from
present indications the three-quarter
length will continue largely in dressy
models, few of the lace waists show
ing the full length sleeve finished with
a fril falling over the hand.
1.-The tailored styles have full length
sleeves, while the semitailored num-
bers also favor the long finish. al
though many three-quarter length
dressy models are being taken up by
the distributing trade. A large pro-
portion of lingerie waists for winter
are made with full length sleeves. but
there is some call for the three-quarter
finish, Either style is finished off with
a plated lace frill
1.-THE regulation sleeve is in favor
and the set-in designs are coming
strongly to the front There is still
goodly showing, however, of peasant
styles in dressy waists, and this effect
is also seen with set on section ap
piled just above the elbow.
'Puffs are appearing over the elbow
designed to taper into snug fitting
lines at the wrist The cheap lingerie
models show many regulation sleeves,
with little fullness in the arm seam
and gathered into deep cuff trimmed
with insertion While this is much
seen, many other designs are also
shown. but in the majority of cases the
wrist length is used

ORDERED BY NEW LEAGUE

it will not only do a service to the pub
lie by its action, but will attract an in
creased trade TO the doors of its members.
Among the members of the league will
be-found the names of some of Washing
toms most prominent dealers in food
stuffs. If they can succeed in getting
the rest of the retailers of the city to
join their ranks, it may be expected that
much lower rate of purchase may be
enjoyed by the citizens generally.
The league believes it's action will at
tract attention throughout the Eastern
States, if not in other parts of the
country, and that as a result a mutual
and general benefit will be derived.
In view of the fact that the Retail
Merchants Association of Washington IS
starting an agitation toward the wide ad-
vertisement of Washington merchants, the
action of the Consumers League will at
tract an increased trade to Washington,
which will work not only to the ad-
vantage OF dealers in food stuffs, but also
to the advantage of the other dealers of
the National Capital

CARNEGIE WAVES
CLAIM ON MILLION
Acts as Philanthropist to De-
funct Trust Company.

New York. March 6.-It became known
to-day that Andrew Carnegie has decid-
ed to act as a Philanthropist toward the
defunct Carnegie Trust Company, the
tangled affairs of which are now being
man. and will relinquish claims which
originally amounted to Sl.1OO,OOO. At the
time the institution collapsed its indebt-
edness to the iron master is said to have
been cut down 100000
Had Mr.. Carnegie not taken this
course, he would have appeared in the
list OF victims, which would have been
an experience more novel than pleasing
to n man accustomed to unvarying sue
cess" tonight said an official in touch
with the situation.
Although Mr.. Carnegie's action will con-
siderably tighten the load under which
the Carnegie Trust Company collapsed
on January last, it is said that this re-
lief will not suffice to pull the wrecked
institution out OF insolvency. An in
ventory OF the institution made by the
State banking department the day before
the trust company was forced to close
it's doors shows that its vaults were
stuffed with securities of extremely prob
lematical value.
The inventory also revealed the fact
that William J. Cummins and his asso-
ciates, who obtained control of the trust
company for 500 900, little of which was
paid in cash, drew out early 81, 900 for
themselves, or enterprises in which they
were interested. These loans, aggregatng
so vast an amount, are secured by col

ker, was appointed by Gen. George H
Harries, president of the Board of Trade,
yesterday afternoon. to make a special re-
port to a meeting tomorrow, on the
project of P. B. Chase to increase the
pay Of government clerks.
Gen. Harries, at the board of directors
l. leting, yesterday. outlined the plan
as proposed by Mr.. Chase, and said
it was a matter of great Importance that
the movement was conducted legitimate
ly. as many persons would make the al
legation that doubtful lobbying was used
in the methods to attain its end.
Financial Aid Promised.
The Chamber of Commerce has taken
no definite action on the matter, al
though many members have given their
approval of the project.
Many prominent merchants have ex-
pressed themselves as in favor of the
proposition. and have signifed their will
ingness to help the move financially
when it takes definite shape. which will
the Chamber of Commerce appoint their
respective committees of ten.
Mr.. Chase last night said he had re-
ceived hundreds of letters from depart
mental clerks and others commanding the
move and urging him to see that the
matter is strongly pushed.
"'One of the most pleasing conversa-
tions ] had to-day said Mrs. Chase,
was one with Fulton r. Gordon. who
is also a champion of the clerks and who
has inaugurated a move that has pro-
gressed wonderfully. He said my prop
osition was a good one and fitted nicely
with his. He said with the two move
mentS on foot the raise for the govern
ment clerks is assured.
when the committees are appointed
by the Board of Trade and the Chamber
of Commerce l will suggest that offices
be opened Immediately and a proficient
man be put in charge l viii suggest
that one of the Congressman who retired
from official life last Saturday be put in

the procedure of the National Legislature
will be invaluable to the cause and an
excellent man TO have in the executive

YAMA YAMA GIRL TO WED.
Reported that Richard Harding Da-

Pittsburg, March 6.-The rumor that
Richard Harding Davis, the novelist and
playwriter, is to marry Bessie Mccoy,
the Yama Yama Girl as soon as he and
his wife have obtained their divorce, in
quest of which Mrs. Davis is understood
10 have gone to Reno, was revived to-
day when it was learned that Mr.. Davis
visited Pittsburg on Tuesday and
Wednesday of last week, to be with Miss
Mccoy, who was appearing in THE
Echo at the Nixon Theater.
Davis stopped at the Fort Pitt Hotel
where he registered under an assumed
name Miss Mccoy was also a guest of
that hotel and Mr.. Davis was much de-
voted TO her. The writer and dancer
have been friendly for more than a year.
It was said last September that Miss
Mccoy became angry with the writer for
giving her too much advice on the proper
method Of dancing and dismissed him,
but II this was so the difference has been
patched up. The two seemed much de-
voted to each other during their stay
here last week.
