The Times Democrats Baton
Rouge correspondent says: From
information received at the office
of the State Live Stock Sanitary
Board at the State Capitol, Charlton
is reported from several points in
the State and is reaching the pro-
portions of an epidemic. The sec
rotary and executive afficer of the
board is giving the matter all the
attention which the limited means
of the board will allow, and the pc
lice juries of the parishes where
the disease has made its appearance
are being urged to use the most
stringent methods for the enforce
ment of sanitary and precautionary
measures that will tend to confine
the disease to the already infected
districts.

Decision of Arbitration Court Is
a COMPROMISE,

The international arbitration court,
sitting in the so-called Chamizal case
at FL Paso to decide the ownership OF
ST, 600, 900 worth of property in city OF
Ell Paso, in the southern part, has rem
dered its decision, a compromise.
Mexico is given part of the land
and Ell Paso part of it. Both United
States and Mexico dissent
The Chamizat case has been in con-
tention between the two governments
over twelve years. 1t was brought to
the fore when W. J. Warder filed suit
at Ell Paso to GUST persons holding til
tie to the land under the Texas laws,
Warder alleging that he held title
from Mexico. Warder declared that
the land had been thrown into United
States by a sudden change of the Rio
Grande river, and tuat, therefore, il
belonged to Mexico, according to the
treaty.
The United States has commended the
change, which, according to the trea'
ty, would give the land to the United
States, has beea gradual.
Mexico cites numerous full grown
trees between the former river channe
and the present river upon American
soil as proof that the change had mo-
been gradual and that the land re
mains Mexican soil.
The two governments being unab!'
to agree on the ownership of the lanG
already was adopted that provided

THE SENATORSHIPS
Five Candidates Listed, But Four
Have Failed to Measure to the
Democratic Test.

The Commoner: Five gentlemen
have announced or are pronounced
candidates for the two United States
senatorships to be filled by the next
legislature and the voters are ex-
peCted to indicate their choice of
men to fill the positions at the COM
ing primary.
The succession to Senator M. j
Foster is being contested for by
himself and Congressman J. E.
Ransdell. It is called the 1913 term
The succession to the McEnery
term, now being filled out by Judge
J. R. Thornton, expires in 1915 and
is being contested for by Gov. J. Y
Sanders, Congressman Pujo and
Congressman Broussard.
They all claim utilization with the
national democratic party, but four
of them have failed to measure uI
to the standard when the test of the
tariff bill was presented in the last
Congress. All of the four-Foster

pudiated the Denver platform anC

At the present extra session two
of them-Broussard and Pujo re

Foster has yet to go on record OF

FORGED CHECKS.
Commercial National Bank Victim
lied by a Sharper.

A sharper, as yet free from the
clutches Of the law, has been oper-
ating successfully in forging the
name of J. J. Yoast on checks from
which he has obtained money from
the Commercial National Bank.
The money was obtained by INSTALL
ments in amounts of one or two
hundred dollars, the aggregate be-
ing about $1,000. The checks were
made payable to cash or bearer.
1t was not until Yoast, who is the
proprietor of the West End Hotel,
had been notified a few days since
that his account had been over
drawn that the money so obtained
was by forged checks. 1t appears
that the first check was drawn in
February and the last check was
cashed June is.
On the discovery of these forger-
les Detective Price was advised
and with a Pinkerton detective is
working up the case. Whoever the
forger is, it would seem that he
was acquainted with Yoast and haG
full knowledge Of Mr.. Yoast doing
business and having an account al
this bank. With all this knowledge
and having also a good impression
of Mr.. Yoast's signature he could
not have have been successful il
his forgery of fhe name.
