The Fire on Texas Avenue.

The fire on Texas avenue Monday
morning, between Christian and
Lawrence street, destroyed four
buildings, besides incinerating ten
head of mules and horses, a 7-seated
automobile and two autos of lesser
capacity, and several vehicles which
were in Manning's stable.
The origin of the fire is located at
Manning's stable from the careless
ness of negro.
From Manning's the fire spread tt
Hal Gatti, horseshoer, and to thu
two-stOry frame building formerly
occupied by Silverstein's dry good:
store, which had been converted
into a rooming house for negroes
Duncan's barber shop and a dwell
| ing in the rear were reduced to Gin
ders. The loss is partially covered
by insurance.
The fire department rendered eff
cient service.

THE BOOTLEGGERS
Being ScOurged by Sheriff FlOurnOy
and Commissioner FullilOve-A
Wall Such as Was Never Heard
i'm Rome.

The bootleggers and the near-beer
jointers and gamblers are waillng
and gnashing their teeth. Indeed,
they are perplexed, almost in state
of collapse, arising from the efforts
at their suppression by Sheriff
Flournoy and Commissioner FULL
love.
On Saturday afternoon Sheriff
FlOurnoy in his raid of the jointers
On Douglas Island secured through
his deputies, Tom Hughes and N. P.
Tanner, w. w. Otis and others,
Frank Hobson, w. w. (Noodley)
White, John Lyles and Sam Yealock,
who were released on bonds fixed
at $1,000.
1t is only a few days since that
Sheriff Flournoy expressed himself
decidedly as being tired of having
to deal with law-breakers and he
would not stand this foOlishness any
longer.
It was Monday afternoon that the
same parties were arrested for vlo-
latiOn of the law and each secured
his release on bond. One of the ap-
pretended is known as Little. The
bonds in these cases were met by
cash deposits.
From the FullilOve side there has
been considerable activity. In the
raiding by the police several good
size fish have been entangled with
some small fry, and possibly there
may be landed in the police dragnet
some whales and some sharks who
have eluded the police.
1t would seem that the City Court
has also awakened to activity, as
demonstrated in the case of Tony
Corduro, the jOinter on Texas street,
who for blind has a fruit stand.
In this case the City Court imposed
the fine of Si0O and costs for the
city and $500 and costs for the State
and six months on the road.
There will be an appeal, but it is
not probable that the City Courts
decision will be reversed. AS the
evidence is direct the decree will
stand.
!. It has been intimated that some of
the jointers and bootleggers and
gamblers are subscribing to fund
with which to employ several law
yers of prominence at the bar TO
test the constitutionality of the Full
lilove ordinances, which are in part
a duplicate of the ordinances OF the
townepf Ruston which have been
sustained by the Supreme Court of
Louisiana in an opinion of recent
date.

The Policy OF the United States

The policy of the United States
Government is to anticipate and IN
that spirit the sinews of war, the
lavy and the army, are being CEN
tered within easy access of Mexico
if it should become necessary to in
tervene by force of arms.
At this time President Taft is
Feeping on the conservative side.
His term of office is about to expire,
and he will not involve President
elect Wilson in turmoil with Mex
;Go if it be avoidable.
If the United States should be
compelled to intervene, the war
would rally all the descendants and
would rally all the discordants and
all the elements in Mexico against
the United States, and American
ives and American property would
suffer. In the end, Mexico would
be whipped, as it was in the years
past, but many valuable lives would
be lost and millions of dollars would
be required to meet the demands OF
war
It has been intimated by man OF
worldwide experience that Wal
street and some corporations having
immense holdings in Mexico w0ult
be the beneflciaries.

The v. S. & p. Collision.

An inquiry into the collision OF
the V S. & P. railway is to be in
stituted beginning in Shreveport on
Thursday, February 27. The COM
pany has determined on eXhausting
every means within its power to
place the responsibility and to hold
to account whoever may be amen
able.
The track where the collision oc-
CURED between the passenger train
going west and the train east bound
except slight curve, is almost
straight and gives full view for a
long distance, and therefore the EN-
gineers of the trains could not sue
cessfull plead extenuation on the
plea of the track being obstructed
Possibly the excuse may be given
that it was believed that one of the
trains was on siding, or the pre-
text that each of the engineers as
sumed that the other would chech
and stop his train before colliding
1t is reprehensible to think that
such a collision was possible on g
clear day, in the afternoon, ant
when there was a full view of the
track for long distance.
Let the inquiry be full and fall
and free from every influence OF
favoritism. This is due to the train
men, to the company, and last bu
not least, to the public.
