a view to the effect on the human
system when those plants are used
as food. Artifcially prepared foods
containing iron do not always produce
the desired effect, because the iron is
not completely assimilated. This diff
fculty, it is thought, may be avoided
by causing plants to take up an in
creased quantity of iron during their
natural growth. By adding hydrate
of iron to the soil in which it was
growing, the experimenters have sue

Flour, Oatmeal and Meats Restored

Washington, June 3.-Reversing It's

JAPAN FAVOR BRYAN's PEACE.
Secretary of State Receives Formal
Iy-NOtifed Count Chinda.

Washington, June 2-Viscount Chin
da. the ambassador from Japan, late
today called upon Secretary Bryan
with formal notification that Japan
had accepted in principle the proposed
plan advanced by the United States
for universal peace.
Signatories of the treaty proposed IN
Mr.. Bryan's plan, would agree to re-
frain from hostilities for period OF at
least nine months while any conflict
ing claims were under consideration
by an international joint commission.
In the case of Japan, as with the ten
other nations that have received the
proposal favorably, the response ap-
plies solely to the general principle in
yolved, and none has committed itself
to approval of any Of the details OF
the project. Therefore, it may be
many months before the tentative
draft of the convention Wnlcn MI.
Bryan submitted to the various eng
bassies and legations can be reduced
to a form which will receive their un-
qualified approval.
The statement by the japanese am
ebassador that his government was
8prepared to give careful consideration
to the peace proposal has no bearing
whatever upon the negotiations now in
progress between the two countries re-
garding the California alien land
legislation. During his call upon Mr..
Bryan today the ambassador discuss
ed this subject from various angles
for half an hour, but without any
definite result. The japanese foreign
Office has not yet cabled the ambassa-
dor definite instructions regarding the
American note and it is known that
it is conducting an original investi-
cation as a basis for its rejoinder.

Join a certain small town, at the

the course Of the hearings one farm

against the railway entering the vii

nal idea was to use the G., S. &. A.
to Greenwood, sjeaboard to Clinton
and C. N. & L. to Columbia. To do
this it would be necessary for the
Seaboard to put on a new train to
Chester or Clinton from Abbeville
and it is not believed they will do
this. But new scheme has develop
ed in connection with this route in
the past few days, and one that looks
feasible. It is to get the c. N. & L.
operate a train from Abbeville to
Columbia, over the Seaboard tracks
to Clinton using its own rails from
that point to Columbia. The c. n.
& L., has been operating a through
train from Columbia to Greenville for
some time but it is understood that in
the near future this train will be. dis
continued from Laurens to GreenVille
as the C. & W. c., will use its own
rolling stock between those points.
Under this new arrangement it is be-
lieved the C. N. & L., can be persuad-
ed to operate this train to Abbeville
instead of running it to Laurens. If
such a train was put on there is no
doubt but that it would secure a con-
siderable business in connection with
the G. S. & A., from Greehville, An
derson and all points to Greenwood.
The schedule would be to leave Abb
beville at 6 a. m., arriving Columbia
10 or III, leave Columbia or p.
M, arrive Abbeville between and
10. This would give the people OF
the up-country an opportunity to
spend more than half day in the
city of Columbia. There is no doubt
but that such a schedule would get
practically all the business from the
up-country. It is known that some
of the officials of the c. N. & L., favor
the schedule and it is believed the
people of Anderson, Greenville and
other interested towns would take
the matter up with the proper Off
cials of the seaboard and Columbia,
Newberry and Laurens railway com
pany that such schedule would be
put on. If you are interested in the
question write Mr.. J. F. Livingston,
V. P. and general manager, c. N. &
u, Columbia. 1t is believed If he
can be persuaded to put On the new
train, using his own rolling stock
from Clinton to Abbeville thus saving
the seaboard the necessity of putting
on another train, that the plan can
be worked.

NEAT AND FLOUR.
Committee FaTOrS Nominal Tariff for
Products,

Washington, June 2.-Meats and hour
will not go on the free list in the dem
ocratic tariff law, if recommendation
of the senate finance subcommittee
in charge of the agricultural schedule
is accepted. This important alteration
of the Underwood bill as it passed the
house was determined upon today
by the subcommittee, composed OF
Senators Williams, Shirley and Gore.
1t was decided, in carrying out the de-
termination to perfect the Underwood
bill by equalizing raw materials ana
their products, that it would be wiser
to levy nominal duties on meats and
-four products than to put livestock
snd grain on the free list.
Meats Made DHtiable.
In accordance with this decision the
subcommittee took from the free list
fresh meats-beef, mutton and pork
and made them dutiable at lO per cent
ad valorem. Wheat -four was restored
to the dutiable list at the specific rate
of As cents barrel, with other wheat
products at 10 per cent advolorem and
the Underwood duty on oats was re-
duced from 10 cents per bushel to 8
cents per bushel with compensatory
duty on oatmeal, said to be approx
imately 5 per cent ad valorem'
This rate on otmeal was not den-
nitely determined, but it is assured
that the recommendation will be to
take oatmeal from the free list. Cattle,
sheep and hogs will be left as they
are in the proposed bill, dutiable at
10 per cent ad valorem, and the Un-
derwood duty of 10 cents bushel on
wheat will stand.

THE ALIENS EXECUTED.
Father and Son ElectrOcuted i'm the
Virginia Penitcntiary.

On Friday, March %, shortly after
the noon hour, Floyd Allen and his
son Claude were electrocuted in the
State penitentiary of Virginia. Until
a few hours preceding the execu-
ton the Aliens had been hopeful OF
a Communication to life imprison-
ment.
The father and his son were re-
quired to pay the death penalty as
an atonement of the crime Of mur-
der committed in Hillsville court
house on the morning of March IA,
last year. In the shooting affray in
this court house the judge of the
court and deputy were killed and
several. others wounded.
The Aliens were clansmen of the
mountains who had no regard or re-
spect for law and who believed that
it devolved on every man to settle
disputes and maintain what they
presumed to be their rights by
force Of arms if necessary.

WATSON HANGED
On Friday i'm the State Penitcntiary

In the State penitentiary at Baton

o'clock, Albert l.. Watson was
hanged. 1t is unnecessary to re-
count his crime, which is familiar
to the readers of newspapers, nor
is it necessary to invest him with
any maudlin sentimentality. He
was criminal. He had murdered
in cold blood C. C. Bailey, with
whose wife he had been living in
illicit relationship.
And, if a criminal, there was an
effort to secure a Communication of
his penalty to life Imprisonment,
suggested on the plea that Mrs.
Bailey, his paramour, had escaped
with a penalty Of five years in the
pen, which virtually will aggregate
about three years and six months,
should she survive to that end.

THE ELECTION TUESDAY.
The Duty of Progressive Citizens Is
Plain.

There will be held on Tuesday
next, April /, a special election at
which the Traction Company expect
to receive an endorsement Of the
intelligent citizens of Shreveport of
their ordinance.
Let every progressive citizen go
to the polls and April-fool-them.
1t is surprising to think that an
ordinance which is altogether one
sided and whose stipulations and
conditions are practically of little
benefit or value to the people should
be submitted to an electorate of in
telligence and expect its endorse
ment.
As the people are, being informed
of the conditions and the specifca-
tions of this ordinance, the opposi-
ton is growing steadily in strength
and assures forecast of defeat for
the Traction Company, whose
boosters are aIreday claiming nine
ty per cent of the votes which are
to be cast.
If this corporation, their allies
and their friends are so very con-
fident, why is it that they are fig
Uratively raking the city for votes?
The Traction Company have reck-
oned beyond their limit. Defeat they
can not stay. 1t will only be a ques-
ton of majority. The citizens Of
Shreveport are awake and will not
consent nor permit the saddling on
them and their posterity the exten-
sion scheme of the franchises.
