Shreveport Paper Tells of Crime of
 Which Young Man Is s Accused,

Lake Sexton, "A, arrested by Chief of Police Frank Stewart and Special Agent w. D. Higinbotham, of the Cotton Belt service, on a message from Shreveport, asking that he be ar. rested on charge of murder, was taken back to that city early Sunday morning by Deputy Sheriff Puckett It seems that Sexton was wanted there on a charge of killing a negro and The Shreveport Times has the following account concerning the charge resting against him:
 "Advices received by The Times from Pine Bluff, Ark, last night were to the effect that Lake Sexton, want ed here in connection. with the death of Zet Oliver, negro, is in jail in that city pending extradition. He was arrested by Chief of Police Frank Stewart and Special Officer w. D. Hig- inbotham, of the Cotton Belt rail- road, who located him in pool room. He will not return without extradi- tion papers, it was stated, and has employed an attorney to fight the case.
 Sexton has been in Pine Bluff three days seeking employment as a fireman on the Cotton Belt
 "The warrant, charging murder, on which he was arrested, was issued by the grand jury on December,23 1913, following the death of Oliver, whom Sexton Is allegedsto have shot in tho leg in row that took place near Hosston some time before. Oliver was brought to the Charity Hospital yand for a time it was thought he would recover, but complications set in and his death resulted.
 Sexton, according to Sheriff Flour noy, left Caddo soon afterward, going first to Texarkana and from there to either Little Rock or Pine Bluff, to which cities his description was sent by the sheriff, who has no fear of succeeding in the effort to bring him back to Shreveport

New LaurelS Added To The
Fame OF Vim. N. Coup
As A Great Conductor. Those
Singing In The Chorus

The rendition OF "EIiiah" in the
Presbyterian church Wednesday eve.
ming will long be remembered as by
far the best exhibition of fine choral
work that this city has ever heard.
The beautiful and fine setting for the
occasion lent a dignity to the pro-
duction in keeping with the lofty
character of the subject. All who
heard it seemed visibly impressed
with its grandeur and operatic quail.
ties. Only the costumes and scenery
were lacking to give it the full force
of a great opera. The story is bris TX
and animated, passing quickly from
each great incident in the life story
of Elijah to the next. This gives life
to all the choruses and makes tonal
pearls out of the solo parts.
The large audience was quick to
manifest its appreciation every
point by spontaneous and vigorous
applause. AS an indication Of the fine
spirit of musical discrimination which
has grown up in this city 1t was noted
that the audience unerringly picked
the masterpieces of the oratorio for
its applause. Though the piece is ex-
tremely difficult and calls for mu-
steamship of high order it was al
most faultlessly rendered. 1t is hard
to find musical composition where
the preponderance of pure melody is
as great as in this one, and with per-
lection Of rendition there was added
a charm, which proclaimed it mas
terpiece superbly rendered. 1t has
that air of distinction which stamps
every great work in every art.
The great success of the concert
was due in large measure to the untir-
ing and efficient services Of the musi-
cal director NJ. William M. Coup. A
musician of rare attainments and a
man of great enthusiasm, he put HIS
whole soul into the work and attained
results which have given him state
wide reputation. At the conclusion Of
Part 1 of the oratorio Mr.. Harry G.
Devin stepped forward and in a very
happy speech presented Mr.. Coup with
a gold mounted baton on behalf of the
chorus. He remarked facetiously that
it could be used to beat time, and to
beat all the rest of the state in chorus
work, but not to beat his wife, Mr..
Coup was surprised and deeply effect
ed, but expressed his appreciation of
the gift.
The chorus this year clearly showed
the training of it's able director 1t
sang completely under the influence

Each season finds the furniture fur

furniture the present display is charm
ing. There are beds of wicker and
chairs in various styles, rockers being
included Screens, too, of wicker, may
be had in various heights and with
two or three panels. The cretonne
used for the panels matches that used
for .hangings and bed coverings, as
well as for dresser covers and covers
for the furniture. In this way dainty
effect in any coloring may be obtained.
The wicker is to be had in white or
