A HOMICIDE.
w. +. Adair Accidentally Killed in
Trying to Batter u Door.

Last night at about 1915 o'clock
w. +. Adair shot himself fatally as
he was battering a door leading to
the room of b. H. Beard, at the resi-
dence, No. 1916 Jordan street.
Adair is a cousin of Mrs. Beard,
who had a family jar" with her
husband over one of the Chldre".
They had retired to their respective
rooms when Adair came in, and
feeling resentful she complained to
Adair of her treatment. Enraged
over Mrs. Boards complaint, Adaii'
seized sawed-off shotgun loaded
with buckshot, intending to kill
Beard, but the door to his room was
locked. AS Adair hammered at the
door with the butt Of the gun, the
gun was discharged and the con-
Gents struck Adair in the face.
The only witness to the tragedy IS
Mrs. Beard, who had pleaded in
vain with Adair to desist from his
HULL. III HtI tAIl CIIIity WI o'"i -
attempted to kill herself, but was
restrained by V. Leggio, who was
the first of the neighbors TO enter
the house.
Adair was aged about 20 years and
was employed as a chauffeur for a
local transfer company. He was
from Westdale, La.
Baird was employed at Bob
Hughes, the grocer on Jordan street.
He was married at NottOn Point
thirteen years ago.
This homicide carries with it an
admonition plainly evident, and
over which comment is unneces-
sary.

PREDICTS MORE TRADE.
Sir Charles Wright Macara Praises
Wilson Tariff Plans.

TimcS-Democrat special in a tele-
gram dated New York, June 10,
states that the International Cotton
Congress opened at ScheVeningen
on Monday. Sir Charles Wright MA-
cara, president of the English Fed
Grafton of Master Cotton Spinners,
said there was no doubt that with
The revision of the American tariff
and the probable reduction of
considerable amount in the price OF
cotton goods, trade between Europe
and America would show a cOnsid-
cradle amount in the price of cotton
goods, trade between Europe and
America would show considerable
increase.
President Wilson's action regard
ing gambling in foOdstuffs and
raw materials, said Sir Charles, was
commendable, as the price of the
worlds cotton crop so largely de-
pended on the price of American
cotton. He praised President Will
son for "having rid the market of
the violent fluctuations that have
been so detrimental to the welfare
of the cotton industry and the
world"
Jonkherr Terkuile, president of
The Dutch Manufacturers AssOcI-
ton, who presided, smoke OF the
strained relations between employ
ers and their workmcn He showed
that the profits of the cotton indus
try did not exceed per cent, and
as the consumption of cotton goods
depended largely on The cost of pro-
ductlOn, the raising Of wages would
damage greatly the cotton industry
and the working classes.

The Sale OF Beer i'm the Restricted
District.

tA the session of the City Council
yesterday an ordinance submitted
by Commissioner Fullilave was
adopted, which if enforced will
operate against the keeping of beer
for alleged personal use in the re-
stricted district.
Under the guise of "for personal
use" beer in quantity as well as in
toxicants are kept iced, which the
inmates of these houses of prostitl-
ton sell or dispose of TO their call
erS.. and when arrested and held for
trial secure immunity on the pre-
tense of for personal USE.
In some of these houses there
have been found kegs of beer and
gallons of whiskey.
The ordinance provides that it
shall be unlawful to have or keep
Intoxicating liquors in any place
within the restricted section, or in
any house or room used for i'm
moral purposes, ''for any purpose
whatever" and ''in any quantity
whatever" and affects keepers, les
sees, owners, agents inmates, en-
oloyes, watchers, hirelings, habi-
tues or visitors. There is a maxium
fine of 800 and minimum of $50.
In default the fine must be worked
cut on the streets or in other public
places at the rate of 81 per day.
This ordinance will become ef-
fective in about thirty days, when
''for personal use" will no longer be
deliberate intent to evade the law
This ordinance if enforced rigidly
will probably deter number of in
dividuals who are attracted not by
The women but the beer and the in
toxicants which, as alleged, have
been served at exorbitant prices.

SUGAR Lobby the Blacklist.

AS reported from Washington tn
inquiry into the ''pernicious lobby"
is developing a condition which
fully sustains the suspicious OF

renlly a combination of active men,
with money a plenty, whose pur-
pose is to oycrwhelm in defeat the
pledge of the Democracy to revise

PARISH BUDGET.
Report OF the Finance Committee Of
Police Jury of Cadd0 Parish.

Shreveport, La, June t2, 19l3.-To
the President and Members of the
Caddo Parish Police Jury, Shreve-
port, Louisiana: Gentlemen-We,
your finance committee, herewith
offer for your approval the budget
for 1913, and with it desire to offer
few words of explanation.
Ere investigation. we had hoped
to lessen the rate of taxation due to
an increase of the assessment. How
ever, we are confronted with the
fact that the constitutional provls-
ion, a three g )mill rate for school
purposes and which we can not ig-
more. In addition thereto the five
(5) mills voted by the taxpayers for
hard surface roads, precludes any
diminution in the rate of five 81
mills.
In consequence it will be observed
that we have simply made a rate of
four and one-half (4h) mills to
cover all general purposes or such
that come or are at our disposition.
In preparing the budget we are
governed by the experiences of the
past, and we regret to say, that the
criminal expense of the parish, en-
bracing the criminal court proceed
ings, jurors and witnesses fees, are
yearly becoming more and more ex-
penslve and we are pOWerlesS to
suggest the remedy. Respectfully
submitted

 If Alaska was of enough import ance politically to be of some benefit to even a few of the national legisla : tors she would stand 0 far better chance of getting the legislation that
 she needs than she does at present. AN things stand now we must de- pend upon the charity of such men as are interested In Alaska bccauae at some points her interests connect with those of the communities repre- :
 sented by these gentlemen in congress.
 This is an unfortunate condition of affairs for Alaska and she must con-
 tinue tu suffer because she is not Of sufficient political importance to catch
 the notice of the men whose main
 dcslr,. is to maintain themselves 'n
 office Ut the expense of the people. it
 is one of the penalties of republican form of government.
 But after all there is so much in Alaska that Is worthy of development. So much that will eventually force It. self onto the notice of even the most
 hidcbound local political parasite that
 whether 1t will produce votes for re-
 election or not the questions of such
 vital importance to this territory will
 have to be taken up and will have to
 be settled for the ultimate good of the
 territory.

The paymastcr general of the navy has recommended t..at an isunicnse storage plant for coal be built at San
 Francsco to supply the ships of tho
 navy after the opening of the Pana-
 ma canal.
 This Is a wise and foresighted pro- vision on the part of the officer mak-
 ing the report and 1t was expected that he would also make certain roc concentrations in regard to the use of Alaskan coal by the sihps of the navy. This question was not. however. touched on in the report and the rea- son given was that there was not enough information available in the subject.
 The paymastcr general of the navy is not at fault in this for 1t Is not his business to know anything about the development of the coal fields of AL aslsa or the means of transporting the coal from Alaska to some point where 1t will be available for the use of tha warships on tho west coast. He is simply concerned with furnishing coal to the navy from the most available sources.
 Dut the establishment of this inn mensc storchouse for fuel on the west coast will mean that thousand upou l thousand of tons will be required by the government and 1t would seem that 1t Is somebody's business to see that means are provided whereby most of thls enormous amount of coal should bc yearly furnished from the fields of Alasha.
 Transportation by boat from AL aslka to San rrancisco will be cheaper than any other way of setting the fuel to the proposed new storage place and there seems no good reason other than tho penuriousness of the govern ment or perhaps tho protection of pri- vaic interests why some measures should not at once be provided for the rapid development Of the rich coal fields of AlnsIA.
 l The greatest factor at present iil rctarding the movement for the open | ins of the territory is the lack oi knowledge of this vast region on the part of the men who wilI have to aci on the legisiation necsssary for its proper development Thsss men ars

The currency legislation which the

The currency legislation which the democratic party was so much inter- ested in seems to be hanging Ire There is a difference of opinion within the party itself as regards the wisdom or unwisdom of some of the provisions of the proposed new law.
 President Wilson Is trying to make good one of the blanks in tho platform upon which he was elected and he must have given considerable thought and sought considerabel advice about the needs of the country's banking and currency system before he ap- proved the bill as 1t was finally sent to congress.
 Certainly there are many good points in the proposed new legisla- ton and certainly. from the standpoint of some of those interested. there are bad points. very bad points. How ever. the president is satisfied that the bill as 1t stands at present Is the best measure that could be drawn to meet and correct certain evils fin our financial system.
 One thing that the new bill will do, if 1t becomes . law win be to put the legalised gamblers of Wall street moro completely out of business than they are at present. That Is very good move for thesc bloodsuckers on tho nation are neither producers nor earners. They are for the most part just plain crooks and for years they have controlled New York state poli- tics by open bribery and corruption.
 But of course the currency lcgis- lation is not being considered in rec gard to its effect upon the crooks oi wan street. It is measure designed to correct evils that exist all through our banking and monitary system and in theory anld according to tho best judgment Of the president 1t will ba move towards an ultimate end or xUtlx4B VUI U8nRAsA8 @ssss methods into more rational system.
 There are . great many men who do not agree with tho plans of tho ad- ministration as set forth in the bill, 4 lot of men for various reasons do not want to zee the bill as 1t now stands become law. some of these men arc actuatcd by honest convic- toins and some of them are actuated by merely personai considerations which sfIect their own or their con stitusnts pocltetbook.
 whaxsvsr the rsasons for expedition to the bilI that opposition should bs wiah1rawn And tho measures for ifananoial pnri6catlon advocatsd by the pssGi1snt shouid be enacted into law
The Nome daily nugget., 1913-11-28

Mr. wilson is honest in his convtc- tions and in his endeavors. If he iz more or less of . theorist in regard to certain matters 1t is not surpris- ing for all of his life's training has siealth more with theory than with fact. But in this instance he has sought the advice of practical men In the banking business and the majority uf opinions expressed to him by ex- perts are to the effect that certain evils will be corrected by the passage If the bili.
 Moreover 1t is undoubtedly one of the main reasons for the democratic rarty being in power at present and the people who put the party in power sxpect that 1t will make good It's promise to reform the banking ssnd currency laws.
 The democrats who are fighting the president in his efforts to carry out the platform upon which his party was elected are not playing fair with their leader. They are putting per- sonal interest ahead of party interests and ahead of the best interests of the country at large as figured out by the present head of the nation.
 If Mir. Wilson is wrong In his ideas in regard to currency reform. # the measures proposed by him for the correction of an undoubted evil fail in their purpose we must give him credit for a we'll meant and earnest effort to correct the evils just the same.
 No one knows better than does the president and the head of the demo- cratic party that if the legislation of the next few years for which he and his party will be held responsible by the people turns out to be bnd legisfn : ton. If instead of the expected bet : terment In busness conditions throught the country the contrary result is ob- tained. the party will be wiped off the slate at the next general election.
 Personally this will mean little to n man of MT. Wilson's caliber but he is loyad party man and a loyal citi- ben of the United States and he would not propose any measure for the consideration of the legislators which he did not believe would be of benefit to his party and to his country.
 Therefore the men who are now de- laying action on the presidents cur- rency bill are not acting in a fair manner to the president or to their party or to the people. They should not bubble over a measure upon which the president has put so much of time and thought and which he honestly believes will correct the evils at present complained of. The bill. as drawn by Mir. Wilson and his advis- ors should be passed at once. If 1t turns out to be . failure. We'll there will be another general election in few years and the people will see to 1t that if the democratic party has done anything that is not best for the general interests and advancement of the country that 1t is put where 1t will not be able to meddle in national o eva ,r. a1ain for anna lime.
 The laws made by the new bill can always be repealed and the people will see that they are repealed if they are not good laws.
