EUROPE ANGERED.
Turkeys Action May Precipitate
War-Russia Has Announced as
Ready for Intervention.

When the Bulgarians and their
allies had licked Turkey to a fraz-
zle, instead Of maintaining their
compact of defense, the Bulgarians
in their greed demanded a greater
share of the spoils than their due,
which led to war. between the for
mer allies.
Availing itself Of this contention
between the allies, Turkey assumed
the offensive and has seized the
greater part Of the territory which
had been Wrenched by the allies.
The news from London indicates
that Europe is angered over the ac-
tion of Turkey at Adrianople and
that a general war can be averted
only by the5z.utmost tact. The willy
| Turk, like the Chinee and his first
cousin, the little yellow man, never
permits an advantage to escape It
lis evident that Turkey will not be
permitted to retain Adrianople and
the territory within its military
control It will not be surprising
if Turkey is not compelled to reeede
and this strong fortlfication will be
razed to the ground.

Mass Meeting to Indorse Senators
Thornton and RanSdell.

New Orleans Picayune: Arrange
ments are being made for a great
mass meeting of citizens of Iberia
and of the surrounding allied par
ishes in Louisiana, to be held at
New Iberia on Saturday, August 2,
to authoritatively indorse and rem
der due and ample credit to Louis
iana's United States senators, John
R. Thornton and Joseph E. Rams
dell, for their brave, faithful and
able support of Democratic tariff
for revenue, with such incidental
protection as it may give our own
country, and for the patriotic and
statesmanlike manner in which they
have fought an attempt to destroy
important industries of the country
and to deprive multitudes of Amer
lean citizens of their legitimate and
proper means OF earning hvell-
hood. The call for the meeting is
signed by large number of leading
eitizens Of the region represented,
and without doubt it will be, as it
should, a great outpouring Of the
people to show their appreciation
of the manner in which their Uni
ted States senator's, who represent
their entire State and not sections
or districts of it, have bravely and
nobly done their duty
And after this meeting, will Sen
ators Ransdell and Thornton be en-
couraged and justified in their
alignment with the Republicans, in
their opposition to the Underwood
Democratic tariff bill?
While the sugar teat Democrats
of New Orleans and South Louis
lana endorse the Republican sys-
tenn of protection, the Democracy of
Louisiana will hold Senators Thorn
ton and Ransdell to a strict account

MahPy.

Yesterday at the sitting Of the
District Court, Judge John B. Land,
District Attorney Mabry gave no
.tice Of an appeal to the Supreme
Court il the case Of State vs.sF A.
Negln, which was quashed on the
ground that there was no indict-
ment against the accused for an al
legged bribery Of q witness.
The contention against the state's
attorney is that there was no led-
son for the accused to attempt to
3hribez a witness in case in which
he had been tried and acquitted.
D The plea Of the district attorney
is that the accused escaped through
the testimony given BY his witness
who, as alleged was bribed.
The decision Of the Supreme
Court will be awaited with interest
This is a novel proceeding.

New Orleans States: Two Of the
japanese statesmen who have been
touring this country for the purpose
of ascertaining the sentiment Of the
Americans, sailed from San Fran
cisco the other day, after intimating
that the negotiations over the Cali
fornia land question have created q
delicate situation. DR.. Soyada, for
mer vice minister Of finance, says:
'sThe Japanese government will
make. an effort to obtain for Jap
anese the privilege Of becoming
American citizens
He does not think war probable.
but if it comes it will be through
the action of the United States. Are
we to infer from this. statement that
the refusal of the United, States TO
admit the Japanese to citizenship
would be regarded as a casus belli?
In that event it would not be the
United States, but Japan, that would
force war.
The United States reserves the
right to judge who shall and who
shall not be admitted to citizenship,
and it is a practical certainty that
the effort of the japanese govern
ment. will not be crowned with sue
cess. in spite Of the fact that the de-
parting visitor said that Japan
fights only when national honor is
involved, and when it becomes a
shame to be a Japanese we can not
tell what will happen
Doubtless the Japanese ambition
to become citizens of the United
States is strong, but Uncle Sam will
do the choosing, and he will not do
it in an unfriendly spirit. The citi-
zenship Of the country is increasing
SO fast as it is that there is no i'm
mediate prospect Of throwing open
our gates to accommodate an invae
sion from across the Pacific. Y

w. c. LANlNG GUILTY.
He Is Convicted on One Charge Of
~ Embezzlement..

@-N>
rendered a verdict which is sur
prising to many Of the citizens O:
Shreveport who had anticipated al
acquittal or mlstrlal.
The jury's verdict is that Lanlns
lis guilty as to his embezzlement OF
$500 he obtained from Mrs. Len;
Whitman Of Leesville, and justifi-
ablesen the charge Of, as alleged, OF
embeZzlement Of a check for i,0i5
drawn by Frank MaricelH Of Camp
ii, and one for $500 drawn by w. T
Taylor Of Arcadia
In many Of its features this case
is remarkable and in some Instances
past understanding.
AS president Of the Pelican Fire
Insurance Company Laning exer
cised full and complete control in
the management Of the affairs OF
the company It was developed dur
ing the trial that he had used the
Money Of the company indiscrimi-
nately, but on the presumed author
ity that whatever were his short
Gomings he was free to act as he
deemed best and his accountings
would be squared from the prem
iums and commissions that were
to be placed to his credit
In the case Of Mrs. Whitman it
was evidenced that he had failed to
account for the money obtained. II
was a clear case of embeZZlement,
from which he. could not be eXtri-
Gated. In the other eases, which are
strong in similarity if not as direct
in proof, the jury viewed Lanlng as
innocent, or probably not sufficient
~ proven.
AS stated the verdict Of guilty Is
surprising, at least to the citizens
who were heard in their discussion
Of the case to declare. that Laning
should not be convicted because the
directory Of the company had been
more or less negligent#of their duty
in not supervising more directly
and strictly the affairs Of the COM
pany as related to The actions OF
.Laning.
It is unfortunately from this view
misguided anA q. Inconsistent with the
principles of(3aW and justice, that
many criminals secure their. escape
from justice. As a fact the com
.pany and its directors had placed
implicit confidence in Laning, their
president, and relied on his pre-
sumed integrity. He had manifested
great interest in the affairs of the
company, was an active and sue
.cessful solicitor. ThisstrustWas mis-
placed as was the reliance Of 9TH
ers in his honesty
The case should be as a warning
in the. future to those having some
means for profitable investment, but
this Wanring, as others, maymhaye
been forgotten when some individual
Of prepossessing appearance, o.
genial manner, glib Of tongue, will
persuade the susceptible to take
stock or to subscribe their hard
earned saving into some get-rich
scheme.
If a full statement Of the many
innocent victims, women, among
them wage earners, who have been
victimized BY sWindlers, was given
publicity, it would be startling IN
deed. Therefore, whenever a swim
dler is entrapped he should be held
to the fullest Of account regardless
OF hair-splitting technicalities.
Tn this case the State was repre-
sented by District Attorney Mabry,
assisted BY Attorneys Davis and ].
M. Foster Laning was ably defend
ed by Attorney =. C. Butler. The
case is to be appealed to the su-
=preme Court Of the State.

Monument to Famous Poet-Priest


The Country Review: A beautiful
monument to Father Abram j. Ry-#
an. who was widely known as the
''poet-priest Of the Confederaey,'
was unveiled at Mobile, Ala, last
week. Among all the legacies left by
a dreadful and bloody war upon an
Impoverished people none are more
tenfEf and sacred than the fine
characters purified in the trucibln
of affliction and sorrow. Among
thosee heroic characters that of
Father Ryan rises stately and i'm.
posing, and his matchless measures
shall stir the hearts of the people
SO long as the Nation shall endure.
His great heart was passionately de-
voted to the cause for which the
men of the South fought, and his
sentiments poured forth in songs,
some Of which rival in purity and
pafhos the best productions of Tom
Moore.
