Death Of Howard F Doll.

The demise of Howard F. Doll
when announced Monday morning
was regrettable surprise to his
friends who had no intimation OF
his illness. The deceased was a pa
tient at the North Louisiana Santa
rum, where he had been operated
upon for appendicitis Wednesday
afternoon. Following this operation
the indications were favorable, bu!
he failed to rally from complications
which led to his death, which oc-
CURED at t0:45 Sunday morning.
The deceased came to Shreveport
when boy. He was born in Adams
County, Pa, Nov. 8, 1847. From an
humble beginning he gradually pro-
gressed in the affairs of the world
His fortune is estimated at about
half million dollars.
He was the owner of the IXL gro
cery, where he accumulated much
of his wealth, which he invested ju-
diciously, and in his later years had
greatly. enhanced in value. He was
the first holder of stock in the Com
mercial National Bank, which he as
sisted in organizing, and had been
a member of the School Board for
sixteen years.
He. was usefufscitizen and was
devoted to his home...
He was not demonstrative. and
those who shared his friendship
could always rely On his loyalty to
them.
At the funeral service held Mon
day evening in the Holy Trinity
church and at his grave in st. Jo-
seph's Catholic cemetery, the aggre-
gate of citizens and his friends at
tested the esteem in which he was
held.
Mr. Doll is survived by his wife
and eight children, the children be-
ing Mrs. w. C. Belcher, Mrs. J. T.
Broghan, H. F. Doll Jr, E. I. Doll,
Mrs. LEVEL C. Butler, John, Loretta
and Charles Doll, and three broth
ers, James Doll of Riverton, Wyo.,
George Doll of Marion, Ind, and

] THE REGULAR SESSION.
Activity Of Congress-Many New
Laws Listed Tor, Enactment.

The Picayune's Washington spe-
cial referring to the opening Of the
Sixty-third Congress says:
The sisniflcance Of the new ses-
sion lies ID the fact that it opens The
floodgates for legislative activity and
inauguratesl period that promise;
to be crowded with the considera-
tion Of important projects and pre-
life in legislative enactment.
The extra session just ending was
limited, by informal agreement with
President Wilson, to the considera-
tion of the stariff and currency re-
form, and nothing that might inter-
fere with those issues was taken up.
The currency bill still dominates
the situation as the new session be-
gins, but the administration pro-
gramme Of antitrust and railroad
legislation which is to follow mus:
share the field with q score or NOR e
Ct other important subjects.
1t is the hope of the Democratic
leaders that the currency bill can
be disposed OF in the Senate BY the
end of December and can be COM
pleted by both houses and signed by
the President in January. In aniici-
patton of this the plans for anti
trust legislation will be taken up
this week by President Wilson, III
conference with Senator Newlands,
Representative Clayton and other
a,embers Of the judiciary and inter-
ktate commerce committees 0f the

TiIE CURRENCY ISSUE.
Regular session Of Congress Begins
Monday Dee. 1-WAsoa kikeued tl
a Dictator.

The information following is from
sthe Chicago Sunday Tribune, whose
! Washington correspondent is JohI
Callan O'Laaghlin:
| The Senate on Monday will begin
! active consideration of the currenc,
bill, first debating at considerable
length the proposition of the Demo
cratic majority for daily sessions
lasting eleven hours. This subject
will be laid aside temporarily while
the Hetch Hetchy bill relating to the
6water supply of San Francisco and
the bill for the construction by the
government of railroads in Alaska
are debated and acted upon.
In the meantime the House will be
turning over to the Senate number
of bills. This promises to create a
jam in legislation which is apt to
prove embarrassing to the upper
house and delay the enactment OF
principles which form the basis OF
the Democratic platform.
The situation from the executive
point of view is radically different
from that which prevailed when
President Wilson read his first mes
sage to Congress eight months ago.
Then an era of good feeling existed
in Democratic ranks.
For the first time in sixteen years
the Democratic party was in control
of the White House and Congress,
There was a single purpose to show
the country that the party was one
of construction as we'll as of oppO-
sition, and to preserve harmony in
order that solid front might be Of
fered to the Republicans and Pro-
gressiveS.
Because the country had spoken
unmistakably for revision of the tar
if, bill reducing the Aldrich du-
ties and imposing gradual tax on
incomes was passed with surpris-
ingly little objection. Then came
the currency bill, to which sixty
nine Democrats in the House offered
sky-rocket opposition.
From this point the way Of the
President has been beset with pit
falls; and the chances are they will
greatly increase in number and
depth. He is making desperate eff
fort to unite his party in the Senate
on the currency bill passed by the
House.
Wilson Likened TO Dictator.
The dominance of the President
is calculated to prevent independ-
ence of thought and leadership in
either house. Should he continue
his policy of preparing bills and
then turning them over to Congress
with instructions TO pass without
change, it is evident there will be
small opportunity for constructive
craftsmanship TO manifest itself.
He will be successful in his die
tatorship SO long as the people ap-t
pear to be behind him. Should his
foot slip there will be an uprising
against him, especially in the Sen
ate. In considering the more or less
belligerent attitude of the upper
house at this time, the fact must
not be forgotten that the constitu-

Right off the reel there is an increase

not getting all he wants. Even with
that he has pruned the estimates.
Along comes Secretary Daniels with
estimates for more money for the
navy, coupled with demand in con
gress for more battleships.
Passing to the side of peace, we no
tice that many men propose to spend
millions for improving the roads of the
country. A vocational educational bill
or measure to teach agriculture on
a greatly enlarged scale seems certain
to pass. There will be no letup in de-
mand for public buildings and for riv-
er and harbor appropriations. In fact,
all those measures which mean large
expenditures seem certain to be pass
ed. These will swell the general total
above anything in the past.

constitutional Privilege"
The newspaper men many times ask
ed the president if congress was to ad-
journ, taking it for granted that the
president controlled congress as to its
vacations. One day he was asked If
there would be holiday adjournment
after the regular session II suppose
it would be unconstitutional not to
have holiday recess,". replied the
president, showing that he knew the
custom, even if he was little sarcas-
tic in his reply. That will be the first
congressional vacation.
Stone Was Sarcastic.
Senator Stone doesn't care much
whom he jabs when he is nettled. The
other day he referred to Senator Owen
as the nominal chairman" Of the bank
ing and currency committee. Then he
called Senator Hitchcock chairman of
one wing OF the committee In few
lines he "got to" both Owen and Hitch
cock. Stone, who is well up on the
finance committee, no doubt thinks it
would have been just as well to have
allowed the money bills to remain with
the finance committee, where they have
always been, until the beginning Of the
present session.
A Strange Sight.
Senator Thomas of Colorado was
reading his speech in the senate few
days ago, which caused surprise. as
he is ready talker.
"What ails Charlie Thomas p asked

was the reply, 'sas he feared he would

Comparison Of Two Cities.

The latest United States census bul.

two cities in the state having popula.
ton exceeding $4,000. Huntington and

ton is 10000 in excess OF Hunting.
tons for 1910. the latter city has near.
ly twice as many negroes, the figures
being 2,140 and 1901. A surprising
feature. perhaps. is the fact that
Wheelings total of native whites, %
SS5. is nearly five thousand less than
HuntiNgton's. whose total was 27.3ll.
This, however, is made up by Wheel.
lng's preponderence in natives of for.
eign parentage and in foreign born
residents. In Wheeling there were
1850 persons of foreign parentage
and but l,1S4 in Huntington. The for.
eign born in Wheeling numbered 5.41S

esting is the fact that there were $40
