MRS. McREA'S CASE
Motive for killing GarlaHd-AnOther
WOman-Unduly Friendly.

Opelousas, La, Sept. 25-ln state
ment made to The Item today Dis
ltrict Attorney r. Lee Garland cleared
up a greater part of the mystery of
the prosecutions ease against Mrs.
Zee Runge McRea, the 36-year-old
wife of the Frisco official, who is in
Jail here on the charge of murder
ing Allan Garland, age %, in her
home here.
Mr.. Garland, in an exclusive state
ment, charges that young Garland.
who was his nephew, and Mrs. Me-
Rea We're unduly friendly. He de-
clares that she did not kill young
Garland because he insulted her, as
she declared Immediately after the
tragedy, but there was another mo-
tive.
This charge is denied absolutely
by Mr.. John w. Lewis one of The.
attorneys for the defense who also
gives to the Item the only statement
that has been made on the part OF
the prisoner.
Mr.. Lewis further declared that
the defense of Mrs. McRea would
consist largely of proof that young
Garland did offer insult to the moth
er Of three children.
Without violating any confidence
ii may be said that the State will
offer evidence regarding
young Garland's relations with an
other woman, at the trial.
There will be no preliminary hear
ing in the case, for Mr.. Lewis stated
that the defense would ask none in
view Of the fact that the district
attorney had promised an early trial.
The case, one of the most sensa-
tional ever known in Louisiana, will
be placed before the grand jury Of
this parish probably on October 9. |
The trial is scheduled to take place
within two weeks thereafter.

WEATHER AND CROPS
Fields White with C0ttOn-Picking
Active-Unexpecteiiy Big Yield.

n. O. Picayune Sept. 25: The pasi
week has been favorable period for
the cotton crop as far as the weather
IS concerned. There has been but lit
tie rain except in localities. but some
showers have occurred almost ev-
lerywhere. AS a result of the good
weather the crop has matured rap
idly and picking and ginning have
proceeded at rapid rate. Reports
from the eastern half of the belt
have been especially optimistic.
Fields are reported as being white
with cotton and that despite active
lpicklng an enormous quantity of
cotton remains open in the fields. In
| the central belt the crop has also
imade fine progress, Notwithstanding
some reports of insect pests. In the
western half of the belt the weather
has been fine and the yield is every
where turning out better than<was
expected some weeks ago.
Although there is no disposition to
Ipredlct bumper crop, most people
|are coming to the conclusion that
the yield will be full one, in the
neighborhood of 100000 bales. The
movement to market has been on
|such large scale that it is almost
impossible to accept the short crop
theories that few people appear to
|eling to. Despite resolutions to the
effect that cotton should be held for
|i5 cents, offerings have been free
and prices have steadily declined,
without checking the volume of cot
ton offered for sale, which would
seem to indicate that producers,
realizing the size of the crop, are
anxious to secure ruling prices, for
fear that they might have to take
lower figures later on.
The corn crop has not turned out
as large as expected, but a good crop
has been secured, nevertheless. Rice
has developed fair yield, although
the long rainy spell has interfered
with harvesting. The market has
been fairly satisfactory, however.
The sugar cane crop has continued
TO make good progress, and as there
has been little rain during the past
week planters have been able to do
some field work. A spell of dry, cool
weather is now desired to permit
The crop to properly mature before
grinding.

KIDNAPPED
Four Men Attacked Young Man Es-
corting Young Lady Home.

New York, Sept. 25. The police of
the West Side are searching for
Irene Westley, comely 17-year-old
girl, who was kidnapped by four I'M
identified men early Monday as she
was returning home with James
Kerns, an 18-year-old neighbor
Kerns was beaten into insensibility
by repeated blows from a beer bot
tie welded by one of the assailants,
and is dying in the New York Hos
pitai with a fractured skull. Kerns
was found by a policeman lying un-
conscious on the porch of his West
Sixteenth street home.
In brief period of consciousness
while the ambulance doctor was
bandaging his wounds, he told the
policeman all that he knew of the
attack. He had been at a party with
Miss Wesley, he said, and was es-
corting her home when he was set
upon by the men, none of whom he
recognized. Both he and the girl
fought them, but after knocking him
down they picked her bodily up and
rushed off toward the river.

BULLEN GOES TO CADDO
Government Good Road Expert To
BE Chief Engineer.

Washington, Sept. 24.-T. Bullen
who recently resigned his position
with the Highway Engineering De-
partment of Montgomery County
Alabama, TO associate himself with
the Department Of Road Construc-
ton in the Department of Agricul-
ture, Washington, d. c., has accepted
an offer to become chief engineer of
Caddo Parish, Louisiana, and left to-
night TO assume his new duties.
Mr.. Bullen is the gentleman who
has been engaged by President Graw-
ford, on the authority of the Police
Jury, to assume direction of the
good roads improvements. With an
engineer thoroughly conversant with
road-making, much money will be
saved to the parish in the curtail-
ment of expenditures.
Perhaps in time the present sys-
tenn of road Improvement will be
changed to the better system Of Least
ing the road in sections to forepien
who will give security to fulfill the
rortract acceptably.
AT best the system of working and
the roads with convicts is

be employed to greater and better
advantage by being assigned to work

An Index of Insanity.

A Missouri farmer recently sold
his farm and invested the proceeds
in moving picture show and an au-
tomobile, and his wife proceeded al
once to have a guardian appointed
for him. Whereupon the Courier
Journal humorously remarks that:
IF such transactions as the making
of unwise purchases and the ex-
change of real estate for automo-
biles are to be considered evidences
of mental weakness, it is to be feared
that a large number of people hith-
erto regarded as sane are in danger
of having legal guardianship
placed over them"

AUTO ORDINANCE
The Amendment Is Illegal and OF No
EGect-WiIkinsOn Opinion.

In a well prepared and able Opin-
ion Hon. John ID. Wilkinson, sitting
as special judge in the City Court
rendered an opinion yesterday which
settles the amendments to the auto
Ordinance which is illegal and of no
ietfect.
The amendment to the auto ordi-
nance is declared to be unconstitu-
tional. It is held that the owner of
the automobile can not be held re-
sponsible for the unlawful speeding
Of the chauffeur or the individual
driving the ear, although the auto
may be registered in the name of the
owner.
II is held that the driver or indi-
vidual who exceeds the speed limit
is the party amenable and who is
liable to arrest.
The old ordinance remains undis-
turbed.
1t will now devolve on the police
W lutlltIly tlc liulNuudl tACctuIltS
the limits to secure arrest and con-
viction
.. In some instances this will be i'm
possible, as some individuals attored
are thoroughly disguised when at
tired in the goggles and caps of the
chauffeur.
1t must now rest with the Council
to devise some ordinance that will
stand the test of the law while af-
fCrding some protection to the peo-
pie fro mthe recklessness and the
of the automaniac.
