WARD0GS TO FOR
EIGN POWER
1t Is Understood Greece Wants to Pur.
chase the Idaho and Mississippi
Scheme of Daniels Meets With Ap.
prOval.

Washington, D. c., May 20. - 3
plan for the disposition of the battle
ships Idaho and Mississippi to fo"-
eign power for just what the United
States paid for their construction was
laid before the senate naval affairs
committee today by Secretary Daniels.
Greece is understood to be the
power negotiating for the battleships,
although no official confirmation OF
this was obtainable. The Idaho ap6
Mississippi are 13,000-ton ships aEA
have been in commission since 1902
they carry four twelve and eight
eight-inch guns each. The Missis-
sippi cost $5,832,000, and the Idaho
$5,894, 900. Secretary Daniels asked
the committee to amend the naval
approp: iation bill, permitting The
sale of the two battleships and pro-
viding that the money so received be
used in the construction of an addi-
tional dreadnaught. Two dread
naughts already have been provided
for in the bill as it passed the house.
Secretary Daniels explained that he
would be able to make up the $14,-
coo 600 needed for a new dread
paught by economy in other lines.
\ The Idaho and Mississippi, M,
Daniels said, are efficient ships for
harbor defense work, but are not
modern enough to go into line of bat
tie with 3,O0O-ton dreadnaughts.
Meets With Approval.
Mr.. Daniels proposal met with
approval of majority of the com
mittee and an amendment embody-
ing the plan was prepared for pre-
sentation to the senate. The secre-
tary said he was confident that little
opposition would be manifested to the
project.
The United States has never be.
fore sold old battleships to foreign
power, although it has condemned
them and afterward sold them without
armament.
Mr.. Daniels asked the committee
to re-insert in the bill a provision
ruled out yesterday on a point o.:
order which provided that one of the
two battleships authorized be built in
a government navy yard. With this
provision stricken the ships could be
built anywhere, and Mr. Daniels was
said to be anxious that there be a
law to provide that at least one ship
he under construction in govern
ment yard at all times. He also askel
the committee to restore another pro
vision which would allow the navy
to keep a separate accountin for
the upkeep of yards and for actual
ship construction. This provision was
eliminated yesterday on point of or
6cr by Senator Martin, of Virginia.
An effort will be made to put both
provisions back before the finally is
PASSED.

passengers were aware of what had

Brief wireless calls sent out for help
by the Marconi operator were heard
by the pilot boat Eureka, ten miles
south. and the Eureka, followed by tn .

speed for the spot.
1t was these two boats that found

and sixty by the Eureka. Among those
saved was Captain H G. Kendall, of
the Empress of Ireland.
Most of the first class passengers
apparently perished. Among those in
the first cabin were Sir Henry Keton,
a noted English lawyer; Sir Henry
Irving and his wife, Mabel Hackney.

Need Uniformity
In Food Laws
Pure Food Lists Only Partial
and Therefore Mis-
representations.

There are impure foods which have
not the slightest relation TO the public
health at all, and here in general are
10 be found those foods excluded from
pure food lists and pure food exhibits
As matter of fact the pure food list
can answer for but one thing and for
that only. if il have adequate labOra-
tory facilities and skilled chemical in
vestigatiOn of the foods submitted to
them. 1t can say what baking pow
der contains if its staff is equal to
cumulative analyses of that charac-
ter. 1t cannot truthfully claim TO an
alyZe product which no chemist can
analyze, as it repeatedly has done.
Not long ago one of the women
most interested in FORMULATING the
doctrine of sanity in food matters
wrote to a man, who is known as a
peer in knowledge Of foods from the
grOcer's standpoint, as to the import
ance which should be attached to a
pure food list. His reply was: NO
greater relative Importance should be
attached to it than would be given TO
any partial list of the great number
of pure and high standard foods that
are sold by all good grocers. Because
an article is not listed therein, it does
not mean that it compares unfaVOr-
ably in any respect with those that
are. And in many classifications the
articles are not leaders in this line
meaning that there are more promi-
nent brands of absolute purity and
high standard unlisted"
In other words, from such "a list
just as from such a food exhibit the
unfortunate inference is drawn that
all other goods of like kind not there
are not good, not pure, and this is not
so. Such a list cannot be economic
and 1t is certainly unjust.
The two great impediments to the
progress of the public health cam
paign in SO far as the food supply is
concerned are the passive ignorance
OF the consumer, and the active mis-
representation of the right facts by
those who pose as public benefactors
The remedy here lies partly in the
education of the consumer in an ac-
tual knowledge Of the composition
and value of foods, and what is done
10 foodstuffs in the process of manu-
facture. Then the public could not
be induced to believe that what is
harmless in New York is harmful In
Indiana. What Injuries people in
Michigan, North Dakota and Wyom-
ing cannot injure them elsewhere.
What is most needed is not so much
more legislation as more uniformity
in it, and a knowledge, sanity and
wisdom displayed on both Sides by
both producer and cOnsumer.-Helen
Louise Johnson, in October Pictorial
Review.

JUDGE DECIDES NOT
TO HOLD COURT Term
Petit Jurors And Witnesses
Notified Not To Appear
For Criminal Court.

Judge B. Fl. Pavy has decided
that there is no need Of a crimi-
nal court term just at present
and for that reason he ordered
Sheriff Swords to notify the petit
jurors and witnesses who were
scheduled to appear in this city
next Monday that their services
were not needed.
There has been no reason as
signed for the order recinding
the criminal court term.
The grand jurors, however,
are now in session, hearing the
charges against many accused OF
minor crimes. It is thought that
the jurors will be ready to de-
clare the result of their delibera-
ton within the next few days.
It is thought that on account
of having no money in the parish
treasury that Judge Pavy decid-
ed that St. Landry was unable
financially to spend SO much
money on a criminal term Of
court of minor Importance.

MELVILLE GOOD ROAD
DISTRICT IS FORMED
Taxpayers To Be Called Upon To t. =. T,.o4s7'7
Erect Two Splendid Dirt Roads In The Eastern
Section Of ST. Landry.

Krotz s'?zsr1- hnilt also, after
which we will look for other
roads. -
He feels confident that the
taxpayers Of the fourth ward
will vote strongly for the tax,
which will no doubt be submit
ted to them in the middle Of
January.
The Krotz Springs people fear
ing that thav would be boycotted
in the Melville road proposition,
championeu 10y tne father Of
Krotz Springs, endeayored to
have an ordnance adopted form
ing road district in that section
too. The ordinance was not
drawn aod the nalice Jury con-
sequently could not act upon this
matter.
1t is thought that the matter
will be amicably settled, as
those people who have been
boosting and spending their own
persona, E1.c1ey on the proposed
Melville road are determined
that KroEz Springs will be given
a share of the pie, too.
By forming only one road dis
trict sufficient money will be rails
ed, it is thought, to give both
Melville and Krotz Springs
splendid dirt roads and a vast
section of this parish would con-
sequently be thrown open for
development.
The people of Melville and
Krotz Springs are not the only
ones interested in this project
Opelousas is vitality interested in
these roads as it will mean that
the residents of that section of
st. Landry will transact all their
business in this city; by the de-
velopment Of the LOG, 600 acres of
land contained in the Melville
road district st. Landry will get
its share from increased taxation
as well as hundreds of new and
thrifty families who are bound
to come here, if they are seeking
good fertile lands at low prices.

COTTON LOAN Plan
SEEMS SURE TO WIN
Louisiana Interested In Big
Loan To Be Made On
South's Cotton Crop.

Success of the plan for raising
a $135, 900, 900 loan fund to aid
cotton producers seems to be an
assured fact. W. P. G. Harding
member of the federal reserve
board, in charge of the plan, af-
ter a trip to Boston on his return
to Washington on Wednesday ex-
pressed confidence that the New
England bankers will respond to
the request of subscriptions.
Mr.. Harding said that indications
are that Chicago alone will raise
$40, 600, 900, while San Francisco
and other large cities in the north
and east are actively at work On
this proposition.
The prompt action of the clear
ing houses and banks in these
and others leads those inter-
ested in the move to feel conf
dent that the prospects are bright
for the success of the fund. New
England bankers expect to aid
cotton manufacturers in that Sec
ton put do not wish to see cotton
selling this year at unusually low
prices, with a short crop as a Sc
quence of such prices next year.
This, it is thought, would only
mean abnormally high prices and
the manufacturers would gain
nothing.
The Shreveport Clearing house
association is in favor of the loan
plan, endoring the move at a
meeting of the association on last
Tuesday afternoon. tits expect
ed that the North Louisiana
metropolis will subscribe its pro
rata of the large fund.
New Orleans bankers too are
expected to aid considerably in
raising the required amount, SO
that farmers might borrow suffi-
cient money on their cotton to
help their crop next spring.

Editor Clarion:
In view Of the fact that after
having spoken to many OF the
voters of the first ward relative
to nv candidacy for the office Of
city Judge and having ascertain
ed through such interviews that
Judge Kerr has been and is now
really and truly the choice of the
people, I take this measure Of
stating that | will not be a can
didate as I had anticipated, for
the reason that it is my desire to
do the will of the people and not
deprive them of their chance to
re-elect him, if he desires to be
a candidate for that office, which
he will undoubtedly be because
of my withdrawal.
