WHITMAN'S POWER
TO BE STATEN WIDE
Continued from first page.

Attorneys investigation since ex-Gov-
ernor Sulzer took the stand In the John
Doe inquiry last Wednesday. Evidence
now points Enthusiastically toward James
r.. Gaffney, Charles +. Murphy's bust
ness associate I'm Tammany Hall, and
suggestion almost without end is daily
growing pointing 20 Murphy's compile
ity in Gaffney's alleged "sandbagging
Of highway, aqueduct and barge canal
contracts.
Mr.. Whitman at this critical juncture
is taking entire charge OF the investi-
cation into the bank accounts OF Muir
ply, Gaffney ct al. and gave that as
his reason for not wanting TO go out
side New York County at the present
time.
Practically all the embarrassment
that he faced ut being unable to fol-
low the graft trail as revealed in the
John Doe inquiry on account of lack
OF jurisdiction" will be removed IL
Assistant District Attorney Clark be-
comes counsel for the legislative graft
| hunt.
The effect will be like a game OF
passing the ball. Whenever Mr.. Whit
man is unable to follow the trail he
will turn the evidence over to Clark
and vice versa. Their cooperation will
not consist of oral promises, but will
be an established fact. without much
loss Of time.
Republican Under Probe.
1t came out yesterday that at least
one Republican is under investigation
at present by Mr. Whitman, and the
bank account of the man is under scru-
tiny. The identity Of the person or
persons in his own party whose fnan-
cial affairs have aroused his sudden in
terest was not divulged by Mr.. Whit
man.
There have been rumors in the past
that in asking for the indictment Of
Arthur A. Mclean. the Democratic
state treasurer, District Attorney Whit
man came face to face with remon-
strances from influential persons in his
own party. He was advised TO drop
the prosecution OF Mclean and confine
his attention to the smaller fry.
When McLean's lawyers found that
interference from the other side Of the
fence didn't deter the District Attor-
ney, Mclean came into court, pleaded
guilty threw himself on the mercy Of
the court and got suspended SEN
tence.
During the progress Of the John Doe
inquiry Mr.. Whitman brought out evil
dence that "bagmen" preyed on Repub-
lican state employees. These things, It
Is said. have resulted in a situation
that has convinced Mr.. Whitman that
he could not expect any favors from
William Barnes, at Albany, and 1t has
been an open secret that the converse
was true.
1t is this situation, friends Of =
Whitman said yesterday, that brought
the Independent Republican represen-
tatives down to talk over the situation
and to obtain his advice on the ques-
ton Of the legislative graft investiga-
ton.
The grand jury will to-day continue
its investigation OF the Patterson
Brothers contract, No. %, on the aque-
duct. 1t is said that an indictment
against James f. Gaffney. who is al
legged TO have gotten S41,0O0 in "one-
dollar bills" for the award. may be
voted this week.
The John Doe sessions will be re-
sumed tomorrow afternoon. Ex-Gov-
ernor Sulzer will be the principal wit
ness

In Memory Of Mrs. |. E. Robinson
Ladies' Guild.

1t is with deep sense OF human loss
but with the comfort and hope of the
Gospel of Christ that this brief memor.
ial sketch is prepared to chronicle the
passing Of this noble christian woman.
Her home was the center of a gen.
srous and gracious hospitality to a
wide circle Of friends. and nothing gave
more delight to her than to entertain
them. It was delight to her to have
young people in her home circle, which
was ever the center and source Of
wholesome influence and quiet atmos'
phere which made for righteousness.
We thank God for the inspiration Of
her beautiful life and pray that He may
raise up from among us others who
shall carry on her work.
We extend our heartfelt sympathy to
the bereaVed family and commend them
to the care and keeping of Him whose
love and care can neverfail.
Dear busy hands and willing feet.
Are sadly missed at every turn;
Father! we pray that we may greet
Each loved one when the journeys
done.
The memory of her love and prayers
Irvine round Our hearts like tendrils
strong,
Oh, when we're tempted by life's
Snares
God grant they'll keep us from the
wrong.
We know what she would have us dc
We know what she would have us be
In every test let us ring true
In His own time-ner face We'll see

SOUTHWESTERN REFLECTIONS.

Forecasts concerning the probable
duration of the great European war
are plentiful, but these forecasts are
mere conjectures. No man can speak
with authority as to what the future
holds in store for war.Smitten Europe.
At the same time we do know that
foodstufHs are going to be scarce and
high for some time to come, even
though the war should cease before the
end of the current year. The chief Oc.
cupation of the people who inhabit
Southwest Louisiana is agriculture.
Whether people fight or whether they
spend their time clipping coupons they
are bound to eat, and those who fight
eat more than those who clip coupons.
The moral, therefore, is plain, Let
Southwest Louisiana prepare to pro-
duce her share of the provisions neceS.
sary to stock the QuartermaSter'S de"
partments in all the armieS-British,
French, German, Russian, Austrian,
Belgian, Servian and all others.
The war may continue to effect our
cotton progress injuriouly by closing
down of mills in the war zone-but be
it war or peace mankind must eat.
Therefore, you farmers Of Southwest
Louisiana, cut down your cotton acre
age in 1915 fully fifty per cent and
crowd in foodStuffs.
Don't wait another week for time is
passing swiftly and the time to begin
cutting down your 1915 cotton acreage
/ is now. Plant twenty-five per cent of
your field in Louisiana grown seed
oats, and plant them now. Plant two
or three acres of crimson or clover now
SO as to get start.
In January plant an acre or more OF
Minnesota Triumph Irish potatoes, but
don't plant them unless you mean bust.

An immunity bath for the scab and then

things your potatoes will be ready for

Follow Immediately with corn upon
digging the potatoes and, If properly
cultivated, the result will surprise
you. ,,.-.
In FEBRUARY or March SOW lespedeza
in YOUR oats and have fine yield OF

of corn, but cultivate it well and plant

Then raise hogs, but don't raise them

some food and immunize them against
Cholera. Also grade up your native

election was held on two separate
propositions to build court house and
to build Jail.
Both propositions were overwhelm
ingly defeated simply because they felt
that Jennings would take care of the
proposition as she had agreed.
The building Of either Jail or court
house by bond issue is without any
question the most economical way OF
doing it. Yet before two meetings Of
the police jury passed after it was over
wheImingly defeated the people of
Jennings instituted the mandamuS pro.
Ceedings in the court against the police
jury. We believe the people of the par
ish will endorse the police jury for
resisting the suit. That body has been
confronted with unusual problems in
starting of a new parish. Many I'm.
forSeen expenses had to be provided for
to such an extent that they have even
gone to their limit in a tax levy to
meet these expenses. And now just
how they expect to raise the money to
build D Jail has not appeared. The only
way OF course is by cutting down other
items now being carried and it will be
hard to determine just which Of these
ii will be possible to cut down on.
We are reproducing under this issue
| text of the answer of the police jury in
this proceeding which sets out clearly
the grounds Of defense and which we
believe will be read with interest by
the people of the parish.
