WOULD HAVE CONSUL
PRESIDENT TAFT ABOLISHED
BATON ROUGE AS A PORT
OF ENTRY.
Western Newspaper Union News Service,

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Baton Rouge.-Baton Rouge discov-
cred last week that the port of entry
for which Baton Rouge so long labored
had been abolished by order of Presi-
dent William H. Taft on March 3, just
before he left office.
The fact was discovered when an ef-
fort was made to secure a deputy
revenue agent for Baton Rouge and
to follow this with the establishment
of a German consul here.
The order can be set aside and the
SUPPORT of entry for Baton Rouge re,
created. The amount of shipping that
is being done out of Baton Rouge
makes this necessary. During the past
four months and half sixty seagoing
vessels locked at the Standard oil
wharf.
When the wharf Is enlarged this
summer there will be an average Of
four ships week to discharge or take
on cargo of oil for the Atlantic sea
board or foreign ports.
Under the present arrangements
there is unavoidable delay in New Or
leans In getting clearing papers.
The abolition of the SUPPORT at. Bator
Rouge by presidential order can be Sc
aside after June 10, so far as it affects
Baton Rouge, and an effort to get
deputy collector of port for Batol
Rouge may then be successful.
If a deputy collector is secured it /
certain that a German consul will b
