TO BUILD RESERVOIR.
Tank Barges VIII Bring Oil from
Three states

Memphis.--An immense reservoir is
to be erected just across the river
from Memphis at Bridge Junction by
the Standard Oil Company of Louis
lana, which will make this the largest
storage and distributing center in the
three states of oil and gasoline.
The oil Is to be brought on tank
barges from Baton Rouge. La. and will
he piped from Hopefield Point, two
miles, to the storage tanks through
sixinch pipe lines. At Bridge Junction
the oil will be loaded on Union Tank
Line cars and distributed to three
states. The project, which will IN
volve between a quarter and a half
million dollars, will be completed with
In few months.
This means that the Standard Oil
company of Louisiana has begun the
development of the Mississippi river
system as an avenue of commerce. The
river is perhaps the greatest undevel-
oped asset of the nation. 1t has a
great potential value, but 1t is not used
as 1t should be. The people never
have received the benefit of the cheap
rates which are possible as a result of
the use Of the river. The company
later will place self-propelled tank
barges on the tributaries of the river
and will establish smaller distributing
centers UP the Red, the Ouachita and
the Arkansas rivers.

The deadlock in the state executive
board of the Tennessee Equal Suffrage
association regarding the meeting
place in Tennessee for the 1914 con-
vention of the National Equal Suffrage
association remains unbroken. There
is tie between Nashville and Chat
tanooga, and as the state president,
Miss Sarahh Barnwell Elliott, is i'll at
her home in Sewanee, she has turned
the matter over for final settlement to
the -president-at-large, Mrs. ]. M.
Mccormick of Memphis, as next in Of
flee.
The Nashville members are still
hopeful of securing the convention for
the states capital city. They have not
been appraised as to the exact date
when the final decision in the matter
will be made.
Not only has the Nashville Equal
Suffrage league bent every effort to
secure the convention as soon as it
was officially announced that the con-
vention would come to Tennessee, but
prominent officials and citizens of
Nashville also made every effort to
bring this notable body of women to
this city. Mayor Howse and the con-
vention committee of the Commercial
club sent kilograms to Miss Elliott
urging Nashvilles claims in the mat

Negro Attorney Convicted in Criminal
Court Unable to Furnish Bond.
Memphis.-A verdict of guilty was
rendered by jury in the first division
Of the criminal court against w. A.
Parker, negro, on the charge of lar.
ceny and obtaining money under false
pretenses. This verdict carries an In
determinate sentence of from three
to ten years in the penitentiary.
A motion for a new trial was en-
tered. Parker was sent to Jail, as he
was unable to make the $4,000 bond
fixed by the court in the case in which
he was convicted.
The verdict ended a three days
stubbornly contested trial. Parker was
accused of having taken or fraudu-
lently obtained SIS from Henry Hurt,
negro.
The verdict, unless upset by the SUI
preme court, practically ends all Par.
ker's efforts to establish himself as a
lawyer Of good character. He first
attempted to force the county court
to give him certificate of good char
acter to practice law. Following his
Indictment in the state courts he went
to the United States court on the
ground that his constitutional rights
had been infringed on. He lost there,
and the case was thrown back to the
state courts for trial.

Reward Offered BY Hooper.

Gov. Hooper has offered a reward
of $50 for the conviction of each sa-
loonist or soft drink" man in the
counties of Shelby, Davidson, Knox,
Hamilton and Madison, who shall vio-
late the four-mile law at regular
place of business in the nature of a
saloon or soft drink stand.
The proclamation of reward, after
setting forth the fact of the offer of
ward for each violator, says:
This reward shall not apply in any
case where prosecution has heretofore
been intituted and shall apply to only
two cases against one defendant.
This reward shall not apply to the
ordinary bootlegger without place of
business, but is applicable to any per-
son who is maintaining or operating
a place of business in the nature of a
saloon or soft drink stand, where the
law prohibiting the manufacture or
sale of intoxicating liquors within four
miles of a schoolhouse is being per-
sistently and flagrantly nullified."
In issuing the reward, Gov. Hooper
made the following statement:
Several considerations have caused
me to take this step, but present con-
ditions in Memphis and Jackson fur
nish the immediate occasion.
"The state provides no means for
the employment Of detectives and the
gathering Of evidence against these
violators, but the offering of these re-
wards will partially answer this pur
pose.
up until few months ago it would
have been useless to have offered re-
wards in certain counties, because no
prosecution could be had. Now that
the waters are troubled 1t is a good
time to step in"
