The Apportionment of Louisiana.

The Apportionment of Louisiana.
Says the New Orleans Times
Democrat: A half dozen plans
for the re-apportionment of Lou
isiana under the new census,
which gives it an additional Con-
gresham, have been published;
but none of them seems to have
met with the slightest favor in
the country parishes and it is
the parishes that must be salts
fed, for New Orleans has little
concern in the division, as the
two city districts will almost GER
tainly remain unchanged. era
zy quilt, ''gerrymander, !" etc.,
are the epithets hurled at the
proposed new districts by the
country press.
This was expected. The task
of reapportionment is always diff
ficult, and in few States of the
country is it more difficult than
in Louisiana, with it's varied in
terests and varied population.
The question of the Creole par
ishes must be considered, and a
natural disposition to make the
districts, as far as population is
concerned, harmonious, compos-
ed of the same race or language.
Then there is the equality of rep
resentation, which cannot be set
tied perfectly, but which we
ought to get as nearly equal as
possible. The first and second
districts, for instance, contain
each as large a white population
as the fourth and fifth COM
bined. There are about twenty
thousand voters to each of the
city districts and ten thousand to
each of the North Louisiana dis
tricts, so that the white voter in
North Louisiana has twice as
large a representation in Con-
gress and twice the influence on
national questions as the voter
who lives in New Orleans.
Then, again, there is the ques-
ton of crops and interests. Those
of the cotton sections are differ
ent from the desires and demands
of the sugar, rice or lumber Sec
tions. 1t is a difficult puzzle to
meet all these points, and to give
all of them the consideration
they deserve. Hence the diff
Guilty ofsolving the apportionment
problem.
So far as we have noted, there
hasx6een very little light on the
subject; and many persons in the
parishes have lately been advis-
ing the Legislature to adopt the
plan of a Congressman at large,
letting the districts remain as
they are at present, and allowing
the voters of the State at large
to choose the extra or eighth
Representative. This practice
has been pursued in several in
stances where the problem of
appointment proved too difficult.
Two States, Alabama and Colo
RADIO, now have Congressman at
large, and South Dakota, which
is entitled to t wNo members
of the House, has never taken
the trouble to divide up into con.
gressional districts, but elects
these two Representatives a I
large. This plan, however, is
not a favorite, is regarded at best
as merely a makeshift, and as
evidence of weakness and cow
ardice. The objection is also
raised to it that it will continue
the somewhat unequal represen-

kORTR|GHT GETS
10 DAYS IN JAIL
Husband Threatened to Kill
His Wife and Sister-in-
Law Yesterday.

ooh God, have mercy" groaned John
Kortright when sentenced to the coun-
ty Jail for 119 days this morning in
police court by Mayor Zimmerman for
carrying a concealed weapon.
Kortright is a husband, and is the
father of three children, whose ages
range from to years. He had made
threats against his wife and told his
sister-in-law that he would kill her and
his wife if he found them together. He
admitted in court that he had not sup
ported his family more than three
weeks at time and that the children
were either cared for by their moth
er or grandmother.
Yesterday noon a complaint was
made to the police that he made
threats against the life of his wife who
was nursing a sick man at the Gregg
flat on the corner of North Fifth and
A street. In the morning he went to
the Wayne hotel and borrowed a coat
and hat of a friend and disguised him
self with the hope of gaining en-
trance to the place where his wife
was staying. He went to the door
which was slammed in his face.
He then telephoned to the police and
told Patrolman Vogelsong to go to the
flat and get his wife who was staying
there with a man.. Patrolman Vowel
song investigated the accusation and
found it to be false. He then learned
of Kortrights threats, and arrested
him. The prisoner admitted that he
had disguised himself for the purpose
of seeing his wife. He told the court
he was afraid she would hide if she
recognized him.
Gets Heavy Sentence.
What ought l do with a man who
refuses to support his wife and who
made threats to kill her, after telling
the court that she was the best wo-
man in the world?" asked Mayor Zim-
norman.

last year for a similar offense and

though I did tell my sister-in-law

street, that would kill her. If you will
give me the opportunity l will support
my family like man"
He was fined 500 and costs, which
he was unable to pay He will not be
released from the county Jail until
April Z. Mayor Zimmerman said he
would give him the limit which is
$500 and costs and six months in Jail

He was visited by his wife at the city
Jail and he urged her'to plead for his

City Comptroller Believes
Bond Issues Can Be Paid
by That Date. t.

Richmond municipal bonds are in
demand, according to the city clerk,
who has been receiving many inquiries
asking for information relative to their
sale Several Indianapolis bond COM
panies are desirous of obtaining the
bonds.
According to the city officials no
new bonds will be issued if present
plans are carried out, and the city will
be free from debt by Jan. 1, 1917, pro-
vided there is no further issuance of
bonds The city's indebtedness at this
time is S55, 500. The sum of $4,000

The payment of the bonds, accord
ing to present plans will be made in
the following installments: October l,
1913, $4,000; December 26, 1913, So
600; October 1, 1914, $4,000; Decem-

600; October /, 1916, $4,000; Novem-
ber l, 1916, $17,500.
To meet the extra expense of the
last two years when the bonds are all
to be paid, the rate of the sinking fund
payment was raised from five cents
per hundred dollars to seven cents.
The municipal light plant bonds ag-
gregating S144, 900 are not due until
1925. This sum is not included in the

PLAN AN ULTiMATUM.

LONDON, Dec. 18.-An ultimatum to
the effect that the peace plenipotent-
iaries of the Balkan allies will break
off negotiations tomorrow unless the
Turks present satisfactory reply to
the propositions of the allied govern
ments was issued today by DR.. S.
Daneff, the leading envoy of Bulgaria.
IF the Turks do not wish to negoti-
ate with the Green ENJOYS" said DR..
Daneff, I'VE shall meet again on the
Chatalja lines where the armistice
binding all the belligerent govern
ments except Greece was drawn up.
Furthermore. if Turkeys reply to
our representations tomorrow is I'M
satisfactory We shall break off the
negotiations"
1t is understood that by a satisfac-
tory reply the ENJOYS of the allies
mean a reply which will enable the
delegates to begin actual considera-
ton of the demands of both sides.
There was no session of the ENJOYS
in st. James Palace today, although
the delegates on both sides held con-
ferences among themselves. Osman
Nazimi Pacha, Turkish minister to
Germany, and head of the Ottoman
delegation to the conference has been
in constant telegraphic communication
with Constantinople since yesterday
afternoon on the question of including
the Greek plenipotentiaries in the con-
ference.
Although the sudden halt of the par
ley by the Turks gave a sinister out
look to the peace situation this was
partly dissipated today by announce
ment that the Porte has sent Sir Rich
ard Crawford, the British adviser to
the Turkish government to London to
assist in arranging the financial de-
tails of the proposed treaty.
