WANTS HIM TO PAY S11 IN ALI.
MONY,

That her husband assaulted her and
knocked some of her teeth out, then
deserted her and took away all of the
household furniture, is the charge
made by Frances Vaughn, wife of
Isaac Murray, in the petition for di-
vorce which she filed in the civil dis
trict court Monday.
The alleged trouble occurred March
10, 1912, at the residence, 1915 Teche
street. She says he moved the house
hold goods to 1912 Teche street. Mrs.
Murray is now living with her aunt,
Mrs. Sarah Atkins, 1888 Brooklyn ave-
nue., where she says she is in needy
circumstances.
Besides the separation Mrs. Murray
asked that an injunction be issued re-
straining her husband from selling or
disposing of any of the household
goods, which, she says, is community
property. Judge T. c. w. Ellis, divi-
sion A of the civil district court, sign
ed the order of injunction. Mrs. Muir
ray says her husband earned about s35
per month and she reserves the right
to sue him for 81 per month alimony.

NO DANGER HERE.
Backwater Around AIgiers in About
Seven Days-Mayor Behrman
Gives Assurance of No
Danger.

The reported break in the levee at
Hymelia, some distance above the JEFF
ferson parish line, caused another fur
ry in Algiers yesterday morning, when
it became known for certain that We
would get some of the backwater from
this crevasse, but Mayor Behrman
gives out a statement as follows:
There will be no danger from ere
vase water in the Fifth district as We
are we'll protected by a back levee.
The engineers in charge have already
taken the necessary precautions for
closing all of the gaps in placing our
levee in good condition. The Southern
Pacific Company has also been noti-
fed to take care of their stretch of
levee upon which their tracks are To-
Gated"
Mayor Behrman also stated that the
embankment on the outfall drainage
canal would also act as very good
levee, requiring only the closing of a
few places. The water from this Gre
vase will reach our back levee in
about week from to-day.

WILL GUARD RIVER MOUTH.

Adequate provision for the protection
of the mouth of the Mississippi, which
means the whole Mississippi Valley,
it is a moral certainty will be made in
the naval appropriation bill that will
be reported as soon as the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation
bill, now before the House, is out of
the way. The Estopinal amendment
adopted by the committee, appropriate
ing s1,200,000 for two submarines to
be stationed so as to protect the Pass
es, is not the only item that will be
carried in the bill looking to the de-
Tense of the rivers mouth.
Gen. Estopinal, after conferences
with Secretary Meyer, Chairman Pad
gett, and others especially interested,
decided to offer an amendment when
the bill is under consideration in the
House providing $1OOO,OOO for a suit.
able submarine tender, the station of
which, it will be understood tacitly,
will be in the Gulf Without tender
the submarines cannot be used TO the
best advantage.
In the preceding appropriation bill
an allowance of 100000 for the con-
struction of a tender was made.
Builders were asked to submit bids for
its construction, but they declined, be-
cause, as they said, ship of the kind
desired by the Navy Department could
not be built for any sucn sum as that.
Chairman Padgett will not oppose
Gen. Estopinal's amendment. He pre-
fers, however, that it be offered after
the bill is taken up in the House rath-
er than in the committee. Secretary
Meyer will supply the New Orleans
member with data showing the neces-
sity for such a ship and the absolutely
useless character of the submarines
unless a tender for their care and re-
pair is provided.
1t will not be necessary for the ten
der to be stationed at New Orleans,
| because the submarines which it is
proposed shall perform the services
that forts perform for other ports will
not need repairs constantly. Some re-
pairs to the submarines can be made
in the floating dry dock, which, in view
of the fact that both Army and Navy
Department officials now understand
that forts cannot protect the mouth of
the river, is not likely to be removed,
even if Secretary Meyer had the au.
thority.
1t is probable that when the navy
figures out plans for the proper de,
Tense of the great waterway four sub
marines will be stationed at New Or
leans-that is, they will be assigned to
cruise up and down the river between
the city and the Passes. They natur
ally will be more at New Orleans than
down at the Passes, because salt wa
ter has a deleterious effect upon the
steel hulls. Wherever they are, how
ever, it will be understood that they
are not part of the seagoing fleet, but
were provided primarily because it is
impossible to erect forts at the Passes
or to station floating batteries at that
point sufficient to supplement the fort:
miles above the mouth.

Senator Echols of Elk City has an
nouneed his candidacy for one of the
three congressmen-at.large. Bob has
been a member of the state senate
since statehood and has been one of
the recognized leaders of that body.
During his first term he was chairman
of judiciary committee No /, which
is ordinarily considered the most inn
portant committee of that body, and
now chairman of committee on con-
.gressional apportionment and has
been active in the support of long
list of the most important legislation
that has been considered by the legis-
latlre.
Senator Echols lives on the west
side of the state and is one of the
men making the race for congress who
lis big enough for the job. 1t is our
opinion that the three congressmen-
Iat-large should be selected from diff.
ferent sections of the state taking into
consideration the qualifications of the
candidates.
Mr.. Echols will have large follow
ing in this section of the state, and
his friends are confident that he will
be one of the three men nominated in
the primary next August. Should he
be nominated he will of course be
elected, and we believe that the peo.
pie of this state would find in Bob
Echols a man we'll worthy the honor
as Well as a man pre-eminently fitted
to represent them in the national con.
gress. He is one of Oklahoma's lead
ing democrats and has been in the
forefront of every battle for demo.
cratic supremacy and white mans
government since statehood
A few things Bob stands for:
Presidential preferential primary.
Revision of the tariff downward.
Election of Senator'S by direct vote
Abolition of inferior federal judges.
Opposed to Aldrieh currency scheme
Opposed to any extravaganza in
office.
He will use his effort to block any
legislation that loots the public funds
and will either kick out the blood
suckers from public places or expose
them to the withering light of public
ity.
He will see to it that part of the
annual appropriation for irrigation be
spent in Oklahoma instead of the
deserts of the West.

fruitless until last night.

cruising off the Jersey coast, so that
he might enjoy unrestricted freedom

yacht, Secretary Humility said he
would visit the yacht Monday morn

shore. He did not know when the

thought he would surely land later in
