ALBERT L. WATSON
BY Legal Agreement Gives His Chill
dren Into Custody of His Brother,
w. A. Watson Of Cass County, Tex.

In the parish Jail Friday there
was held an affectionate conference
between Albert L. Watson and his
brother, w. A. Watson, of Cass
County, Texas.
In his extremity Albert L. Watson
was comforted by his brother, into
whose custody by legal agreement,
draws by Will Levy, notary and a
deputy clerk, he gave his three chill
dren, Bernice Mildred, aged 1l, Ber-
nice Mmeola, aged 6, and Albert Ar
thur, aged 2 years.
The agreement was drawn in the
presence of Deputy Sheriff w. L.
Gamblin, jailer, and Deputy Sheriff
w. w. OTIS and J. P. Stands, who
signed as witnesses, with Albert L.
and w. A. Watson.
This agreement has been filed and
isSA record of the District Court.
AS Watson record of crime is
generally known, it is unnecessary
to repeat it. Watson is awaiting ex-
ecution but he is hopeful that he
will escape hanging through the
clemency of Governor Hall.
The Caucasian is already on rec
ord as favoring the Communication to
life Imprisonment. From the eau
casian's view the greatest criminal
lis Mrs. C. C. Bailey, Who instigate l
and urged Watson to- murder her
husband. According to Watson's
confession it. was Mrs. Bailey who
gave his wife the poison that killed
her. During the trial of Mrs. Bailey
there was an exhibition of senti-
ment, not only fulsome but nauseat-
ing, and instead of being sentenced
to the limit, Mrs. Bailey is assigned
to the pen for five years, which may
be reducedeto three and a half years
if credited with good record dur
ing the trm of her servitude.
1t would be unjust and reflec-
ton of discredit of justice if Wat
son We're hanged. when Mrs. Bailey
escaped with only five years, viz
tually three and a half years, in the
penitentiary, and therefore when
Governor Hall is acquainted with
the facts he will surely commute
Watson's sentence to life imprison-
ment, al least this is the opinion of
the Caucasian.

A C6RONER'S INQUEST
Over the Death of Joe Fulcia, Aged
Four Years, Killed Thursday Af-
ternOOn.

The coroner, DR.. A. A. Herold,
held an inquisition Friday over the
death of Joe Fucia, aged 4 years.
killed Thursday afternoon by being
run over by car of the Highland
Park line.
The child, the son of G. Fulcia,
who keeps a fruit stand on Marshall
street on the opposite sidewalk of
the L. & A. railway depot, was at
play in the street, and when the car
approached he ran toward the side
walk but retraced his steps and got
on the track. Before the car could
be stopped the child had been run
over and crushed to death.
The jury's vrdict in substance is
that Joe Fulcia came to his death
by being run over by Highland
Park car, but it was in the province
of the jury to direct attention to
the inefficiency of the sO-called
tenders on the cars of this company
as a safeguard and protection
against such a horrifying acciaent.
If this car and all the cars of the
Traction Company were equipped
with tenders such as are in service
in New Orleans and in other cities,
the boy would most probably have
not been killed.
AS recited in the Caucasian about
three weeks since, there were three
accidents in one day on the car line
in New Orleans, and in each case, an
aged lady, man and a boy, were
picked up by the tenders, and ex-
|cepting the lady, the injuries to the
man and the boy were slight. The
lady recovered from her injuries.
Had these cars not been provided
with safety tenders it is very likely
that each of these persons would
have been crushed and killed.
The Caucasian has repeatedly di-
rected attention to the tenders, So
called, on the cars of the Traction
Company without effect, and since
this killing of Joe Fulcia the un-
safety of these tenders should be
|vividly impressed on the mind of
the citizens of Shreveport.
1t should be required from the
Traction Company the placing on
their cars tenders that will operate
lin protecting the crushing of per-
sons coming in contact with any car
of the company.

BURNING OIL
Caused Great Excitement on Com.
merce Street Yesterday Morning.

Yesterday morning at about II
O'clock the fire department was
called to box 81, on lower Com
merce street, to the Waters-Pierce
Oil Company. In a vcant lot next
to the, oil company tanks and build
ings some waste oil and grass was
burning furiously. All that sepa-
rated the burning Oil from the six
large storage tanks filled with oil
was brick wall four feet him, and
it seemed at one time that the
flames would succeed in reaching
the storage tanks, which would
have resulted seriously.
The fire was caused by a negro
carelessly dropping lighted match
on some dry grass, the flames from
which spread to the waste oil.
A quick run and good work by the
fire department soon eXtinguished
the flames.

COST OF FOOD DISTRIBUTION
SO CENTS OF EVERY DOLLAR
GOES FOR THIS, SAYS REPORT.
Bureau for Improvement Of the Poor
Throws Light on Subject-Con-
sumner and Producer Suffer.

New York.-It costs SO cents to dis
tribute 81 worth of food in this city.
The bureau of food supply of the
New York Association for Improving
the Condition of the Poor has been
conducting a cost-of-living inquiry and
has Just made public a report showing
that 81 cents represents the cost OF
food on it's arrival at the terminal
markets here while the rest of the con
sumer's dollar is divided between
wholesaler and retailer in the process
of getting the food to the consumers
kitchen.
Every consumer" said Bailey B.
Burrett, who directed the inquiry, lis
amazed at the constantly diminishing
quantity of food that his dollar brings
to him, and every producer is equally
amazed at the small proportion of the
consumers dollar that finds it's way
into his pockets"
The remedy, the report asserts, is a
reorganization of the food distribution
system based on the result of careful
experiments with the economic effici-
ency Of methods of retail distribution.
These experiments, it is set forth,
should be made by group of individ-
uals with no thought of profit.

Farmers Plan Packing House.

The farmers of Wisconsin, as repre-
scented by the American Society of
Equity, have decided to go into the
slaughter house BUSINESS. After a
debate or the proposition which last
ed for several hours, vote was taken,
and it was unanimous in favor of es-
tablishing a packing house to be OPP
Grated by cooperative company
founded under the auspices of the
main organization. Though the final
action was no surprise, the emphasis
of it was, for there was considerable
opposition manifested during the day,
and at one time the opponents of the
packing house declared they had it
beaten. However, the unanimous rec
ommendation of the special commit
headed by J. II. Carnahan of Black
River Falls, a man Of great influence
in the organization, and the strong
argument of Andrew Boyd of La
Crosse, who has had q years expert
ence In the operation of a packing
house, as we'll as the efforts of most
Of the state and national officers, had
decided the convention, and when it
came to a vote opposition completely
disappeared
1t is intended to raise $250,000, a
large part of which will be subscribed
by delegates at the convention at La
Crosse. Under the plan to be used
no Herson will be allowed to hold more
than $1,000 worth of stock, and none
can cast more than one vote at meet
ingS regardless of the amount of stock
he holds, these precautions being
taken to prevent control of the com
pany being at any time acquired by
the Chicago packing interests. The
society will take over the Langdon &
Boyd packing plant here, which will
be the nucleus of the new concern.
c. p. Cary, state superintendent of
schools, made a strong argument in
favor of manual training and domestic
science courses in the country Achools
and better salaries for teachers. He
maintained that to get the same re-
suits the rural schools must be equal
In equipment, courses and personnel of
teaching STATS to the city schools,
and declared that the results would
Justify the added expenditures.
