LIMBS OF THE LAW.
Four Shreveport Young Men Quail
fled to Practice This Profession.

At the sitting of the Supreme
Court of Louisiana in New Orleans
Monday, four of Shreveport's young
gentlemen stood creditable examl-
nation and have returned home with
the long coveted honors and with
the required authority to practice
law. These young men are George
Dimick. an efficient stenOgrapheI
and typewriter connected with the
office of Blanchard & Smith, where
he has applied himself to the study
of law.
c.. F. Simmons of the clerical
force of the First National Bank
Was captain of the Caddo Rifles. Is
related to District Attorney Mabry,
in whose office he devoted his spare
time to the study of law.
J. F. Phillips, who has been ar
employee in the mailing division OF
the postof1ice, and who applied him
self diligently in reading law.
J. L. Stewart, first assistant tC
Division Freight Agent Felix Nj
Williams of the Texas & Pacific
who, as his friends, devoted his
idle time to the reaching of his am
| bitiOn.
In the success of these young men
is demonstrated what a young man
can accomplish by his efforts. From
these Limbs of the law there Is
presented a most worthy example
which others, like them, may follow
with profit. The pinnacle Of sue
cess, the rising from the level o!
life is secured only through untir-
ing persistent efforts of application
and self-denial. This in substance i!
the gist of the record of all mel
who have risen from Obscurity tt
prominence and fame.
The Caucasian would tender. it
congratulations and best wishes t.
these young men.

ASKS FIXED PENALTY
ON OVERTIME LAWS
"Hours of Service" Act Should
Be Punishable BY $100 Min
imum Fine, Says BeInap.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
wants Congress to SO amend the railroad
hours of service" act so that the pen
atty of mot to exceed $500 shall be
made fixed and determinate sum. 1t
would be favorable to a minimum PEN
atty of 500 for each violation Of the
law.
While the commission has found a
marked decrease in the number Of accf-
dents, due to overwork, 1t still finds
that there are cases of delays which
should be limited. The commission Is
favorable to more stringent regula-
ton SO that only the excepted causes
Of train delay shall warrant excess
service.
The excuses of ''drawbars out hot
boxes" 'leaky hues," and 'engtne fall
ing for steam" are not held to be ex-
cusable.
The Investigation of the last wreck
on the New Haven railroad has not
shown that Engineer Miller. Of the
White Mountain express worked excess
sive hours in violation OF the hours Of
service law, and 1t is not likely that
this phase will enter into consideration
in the forthcoming report on the acci-
dent.
His testimony on hours off, and work
for two men. however, has called atten-
ton again to the hours of service law,
and brought forth today from Inspector
Belnap a statement that the commits

PREDICTS VICTORY
FOR ALLEY BILL
Congressman BorIand Says
Measure Will Be Acted Upon
in December.

CONGRESSMAN Borland of Missouri,
who fosters the sl0.0oOooO bill pro"iding
for sanitary homes for alley dwellers,
today confidently predicted that Con-
gress will act on it in December.
At that time Mrs Woodrow Wilson
and other prominent society women will
be back in Washington, and will give
their moral support to the new measure.
The bill Itself is the sole work OF Mrs.
Albert Norton Wood, a society woman,
of this city, but its views Ere those OF
Mrs Wilson, Mrs. Borland, Mrs. Archi-
bald Hopkins, Mrs. Julius Kahn and
others, who have been identified with
the move to wipe out forever Washing
toms alley slums.
Mrs. Wood today declared her belief
that the slI0,OO0,0c0 appropriation, If
passed by Congress, would afford suf-
ficient means to accommodate all alley
dweIlers who would be turned out by
closing Washington's hidden streets.
She estimates that l5,00o people would
be affected, and that 5000 or more
houses would have to be constructed.
The alley crusaders plan to introduce
at the next session a bill which will ef-
fectively close the alleys.
They decided that their measure and
the housing bill should be independent,
SO that one would not interfere with the
other IN any way. This does not mean.

-Four AIabamans Have
Senate Aspirations

There are fncreas asing prospects that
Congressman oscar w. Underwood Of
Alabama, now majority leader of the
House. will enter the Senatorial con-
test in that State Mr.. Underwood. who
Is being urged by his friends to run. has
wired Victor Henson, of Birmingham.
that he is now disposed to enter the
race, but will not announce his inten-
tions until the tariff bill is signed.
If Mr. Underwood gets into the Ala
bama race for the long term to succeed
the late Senator Johnston, the race
probably will be a three or four-cor-
nered one. Congressman Hobson has
been a candidate for the long term a
long time: Congressman Clayton. ap-
pointed to fill out the unexpired term of
Senator Johnston. but not seated by the
Senate as vet, has ambitions for SIX
year service, and Congressman Tom
Hefin has a Senatorial bee
A contest between four members OF
the House from Alabama, all seeking a
toga, would be unprecedented. and prob
ably there will be a thinning out Of
candidates before the race gets warmer.

Horrors.
Abolish the use Of finger bowls! Why,
nobody ever sees anybody committing

ing purposes in this cultured area.
Western hotel keepers. who have de-

Just because the courses of meal in
the West have to conclude with dessert

to certain patrons who would Quench

reason why patrons of local hostelries
should be deprived of bathing their
digits after meals. Consequently. there
will be no abolition of the after-dinner
