THE PRESS MEETING AT
SHREVEPORT.

Last week we editor had the
pleasure of spending several days
in the City Of Shreveport in at
tendance at a session of the Lou
isiana Press Association, arriving
there on Tuesday morning about
8 o clock, when we were whisked
in company with our better-half
by automobile to the hOspitabls
home of former lberian to be
his guests while in that remark
ably thriving city. Several inter-
esting sessions of the Association
were held in the handsome City
Hall building that would be a
credit to any City in the United
States. Excellent papers were
read by different members of the
newspaper fraternity that will
ultimately correct many abuses
that is heaped upon the Louisiana
Journalists by INSCRIPTIONS pol
iticians whom are forever trying
to punish the press for one-reasOn
and then another. Shreveport
can truly be termed the City Of
beautiful homes" and ranks see
ond to none for its size in the
United States as a commercial
and industrial center. Within
the past three years it has added
5000 additional souls to its pop
ulation which is now thirty-six
thousand, a result of the wonder
ful gas fields that have complete
ly.revolutionized the manufactur.
ing industries owing to the cheap
fuel supplied from The gas fields
within the corporate limits.
Practically every steam boiler in
Shreveport is fed by fuel from
this wonderful storehouse planted
by nature which gives them the
cheapest fuel on earth-and doz-
ems Of gas wells are situated with
in the City limits.
One of the most enjoyable fea-
lures Of he program arranged
hy the people of Shreveport was
the automobile ride over its for
ty-two miles Of beautiful and well
kept paved streets that lead out
from the City, giving the visitors
an opportunity of seeing the
handsome residences and mag
nificent public buildings, beauti-
full flower gardens, terraced yards
all sodded in living green. Dur
ing the year Of 1911 Five Mil
lion, Three Hundred and Fifty
Thousand Dollars were spent for
new buildings and other improve
ments. Since then we understand
4 much greater amount has been
expended and there are hundreds
Of buildings now in course Of
construction.
II was our pleasure together
with other members of the Asso-
citation to attend a delightful ban
quet arranged NY the hospitable

much, addresses being made by

HICKS COMPANY FIRES
A Conilagration Involving a Loss of
100000 or MOre-Origin OF Fire
UnknoWn-Building Ablaze When
Fire Department Arrived-Busi-
ness Resumed Without DelayS

If the Hicks-Company 10 some
what disfigured from the fire which
wrecked their building this morn
ing, it is still in the ring regardless
of the scars of the fire, the water
and the smoke.
How the fire originated is not
known. It is believed it developed
in the match department on The
second floor. Tt was about 4 o'clock
this morning when the fire was dis
covered and the alarm given. The
fire department responded quickly,
but the fire had already enveloped
the entire second story and was
burning fiercely. The indications
are that the fire had been burning
several hours before the blaze be-
came visible.
When this morning the report
was spread that the Hicks Company
had suffered from fire there were
expressions Of surprise by the ma
jority who reached their office, as
we'll as kindly words of sympathy.
The Hicks Company Limited IS
one of the most substantial and de-
servedly popular houses in the
State. It's name and title is surety
of honest and square dealings. Be-
sides it has always been aligned
with the most progressive of this
community. Tt is not surprising to
state that this firm will resume
business tomorrow morning in the
building on the corner Of Texas
and Commerce streets, where the
Conway Hardware Company was To-
Gated many years ago.
The loss to the firm at this time is
not confined to the unavoidable loss
resulting directly from the fire, but
from the sale of merchandise espe-
cially adapted for the Christmas
trade, which could not now be re-
placed for the holidays. However,
this firm is not. repining, but
phoenix-like it has risen from the
ashes, better say from the debris
still ablaze and burning. The build
ing is partly wrecked and the stock
is apparently a total loss by fire,
smoke and water.
1t is not known how great is the
loss. but it is partly, if not alto
gether covered by insurance.

Reckless Waste Of Booze.

: In keeping with an officially pro-
claimed announcement, there was
poured yesterday into the sewer at
police headquarters in the City Hall
gallons of beer and Of Whiskey that
had been confiscated in the raiding
of blind tigers. These intoxicants
had no claimants. and whatever OF
this booze had not been distributed
to the hospital for medicinal pur-
poses disappeared through the
sewer. And right here it may not
be impertinent to inquire if any OF
this booze may be administered
with safety and prudence to the un-
fortunates who may be in need of a
stimulant.
If the booze operates on the sick
and the conyalescents as it affects
some of the individuals in good
health. it will not be surprising if
some ofshe inmates of the hospital
who may ke urged to partake Of
some Of this.sooze may not leap
from the wind6.ss Of the hospita
or be seen trying le climb the tele-
phone poles as squirrels.
And there is another issue in

This 10 emphasized sse1e Gas, ss
is indicated by the occurrence ef
homicides in which the woman is
the aggressor and the mere man.
the victim. Possibly this evolution
may be traceable to the oeveral new
departures in which some women
would indulge and which may be
suggested from the declination in
some instances of the word "obey''
being eliminated from the matrimo-
nial ceremony.
At any rate ''mere man" is con-
fronted with apprehension and dan
ger which was unknown to him in
the years historical, and if un-
checked the "mere man" may be
held in the most defect subordina-
ton.
Tt is no longer surprising to read
in the newspapers the report that
a man has been killed or shot by his
paramour and in some cases by his
wife, who should be always the
partner of his joys as we'll as his
tribulations, and where is the end

} As reported from Oil City, Rube
R. Freese, a driller for the Standard
Oil Company at Trees, was shot at
his home by his wife yesterday
evening about S o'clock. IF Freese's
face and shoulders and arms are
filled with squirrel shot he should
rejoice and feel exceedingly glad
that the squirrel shot were not
buckshot, as in that event he would
now most probably be iifeless.
As indicated by reports, the cou
pie had their family quarrel, but
what provoked the shooting has not
yet been made manifest. There is
no reasonable explanation of the
cause except in the renewal of
quarrels over trifles and that Mrs.
Freese is addicted to the use of
what is called dope" Mrs. Freese is
the mother of several children.
Tt is stated that Freese is an in
dustrious man and had contemplate
ed a separation from his wife. He
is under treatment at Vivian.
This morning Mrs. Freese reached
Shreveport in the custody of Con-
stable w. F. Gibson and was jailed
on the charge of shooting with in
tent to murder.

CONVICTIONS AFFIRMED
On Appeals from CaddO Parish to
the Supreme Court.

Among the cases appealed to the
State Supreme Court may be noted
the cases from Caddo Parish tried
by District Attorney Mabry. The
cases were contested vigorously by
the several attorneys for the de-
PENDANTS, who contributed all their
legal ingenuity to the defense of
their clients. The cases affirmed
are for retailing liquor without a
license:
State vs.. Joe Bramhall.
State VS.. Peter Lacrouts.
State vs.. Robert Payne.
Each of the defendants have been
sentenced to pay the usual fines and
to go TO the Parish Farm.
The case of w. C.. Laning, con-
victed of embezzlement, is affirmed.
Laning was connected with the
American National Underwriters,
which was absorbed by the Pelican
Fire Insurance Company, defunct,
OF winch LanInS was the manager.
The sentence of the court is that he
shall serve a term of seven years at
hard labor in the Stale penitentiary
at Baton Rouge.
In the case of F. A. Negin, charged
with bribing a witness, the motion
TO quash, sustained in the District
Court, was reversed and the court
is ordered to reinstate the case for
trial.
This much of the record of Grim
inal proceedings is to the credit Of
District Attorney Mabry, who is
applying his best efforts in the full
filment of his duties.
