WILL SUE FOR DIVORCE

New York, July l6.-Harry X.
Thaw shook off the grip Of the law
today, motOred down Broadway
to the applause Of admirers, crossed
the ferry to Jersey City, babe the
sheriff goodbye and whirled away
toward Philadelphia, his automo-
biles filed with newspaper men
under orders to stay with him.
He reached Newark, ten miles
away, about 2 o'clock and stopped
for luncheon. A crowd quickly as
sembled in the street outside the
restaurant. They cheered him on
his exit, and Thaw. smiling his ap-
probation, resumed his trip. His
announced intention was to motor
to Philadelphia, about 100 miles by
roadway. and there take a train for
Pittsburg.
Outside Newark, Thaw eluded
some Of the cars which had follow
ed him. Apparently he had headed
back for New York as a ruse to es-
cape the newspaper men. This
created some speculation, as he had
previously said he wanted to attend
a theatrical performance on Broad
way tonight and had abandoned
the idea rather reluctantly when he
saw the size of the crowd awaiting
his departure from the courthouse.
For the first time since he fired
the shot that killed Stanford White
at the Madison Square roof garden,
more than nine years ago, Thaw was
free today to 60 and come as he
pleased. Supreme Court Justice
Hendrick, who presided at the jury
proceedings which ended Wednes-
day with a verdict that Thaw was
sane. announced from the bench
shortly before noon that he had
adopted the jury's verdict. The
writ committing Thaw to Matteawan
seven years ago thereupon automa-
tically became imperative.

PRIVATE CONTRAC7SARE
AGAIN BEING AWARNED
Without Bids Contrary To
Recent Resolution BY
Police Jury Members

The Enterprise has been reliably
informed that certain members of
the Police Jury Of this Parish are
again let ing private contracts with
out asking for bids. 1t is understood
certain members of the police Jury
have given parties contracts to keep
the roads in repair.
The Enterprise was in communi.
cation with E. L. Sanford of the
police jury and he stated that he
had let no such contracts and if
other members Of the police jury
had let such contracts it had not
been affirmed by the police jury
An effort to get into communica-
ton with R. E. Keaton was unsuc.
ceSSlul out II Is known that ne has
made no such deals.
1t is doubtful if the parties TAX
ing these contracts will be able te
collect for their work. At a recen
meeting of the Police Jury a reso'
luton was passed whereby no con
tracts were to be let without bids
Such actions most certainly will no,
do much good toward getting thu
public support the proposed special
tax.

B0GALUsA HAS BECOME
A CITY Of FORD CARS

Bogalusa has the distinction of
being one of the best Ford cities of
its size in the South and the fact
that these little cars have stood the
test is responsible for the repeat"
orders Last week H. f. Roster
received half a carload and by the
end of the week they were all gone.
Another shipment was received
Monday and two of these have al
ready been sold and there are two
good prospects for the remaining
one. Next week Mr.. Roster will re-
ceive carload.
W. G. Dorsey sold his Ford car
and the same day purchased a new
one.
The official announcement was
made last Saturday that all Ford
purchasers since last August will
get a refund this year, the 100000
cars were sold Friday July 18th,
and there yetremainS a half month
when all previous records are eX-
pected to be broken. Mr.. Roster
closed his contract for the next sea-
son a few days ago and signed for
thirty cars, which is an increase OF
80 l-3 percent over last season. He
anticipates'no trouble in disposine
of all his contract calls for and per.
haps several more, if he can secure
the cars.

More Farmers Arrive

That the cut over lands near Bog
alusa offer exceptionally fine oppor-
tunities to farmers is best demon
strated by the fact that new arrivals
are reported each week. One of the
latest arrival is that of Charles L.
Anderson who comes to Washington
Parish from La Grange, Ind. 1t re-
quired two freight cars to handle
his farm implements and other
personal property. He has purchas.
ed so acres of fine cut over land a
few miles west Of Bogalusa.
Julius Szodomka has purchased
an additional 40 acres of cut over
land which adjoins the property he
has owned for some time.

CITY CANNOT
ENJ0|N PARISH
From Holding Election For
The Special Tax Is OPP
iniOn Rendered
PRAISE GIVEN Mr.. SANFORD
For His EnerSeticWork But
Bogalusa People Think
We Ase Exempt

Added interest is being taken the
proposed election for the special
mill and a half tax for the purpose
of paying the Parish debts, 1t now
develops, according to the opinion
of City Attorney Tally that the
City Of Bogalusa cannot enjoin the
Police Jury from holding the cleo
ton, due to the fact that the city is
not a tax payer. The only way in
which an injunction can be brought
to stop the election would be by a
tax payer or a number of citizens.
Legal advise is to the effect that
special elections cannot be called
without a certain percentage of the
qualified voters of the Parish and
those opposed to the voting of this
mill and a half tax contend that
the required percentage has not
been secured. AS a matter of fact
they contend that the petitions
have the signatures of very small
percent of the voters
Those who are opposed to voting
the tax take the stand and contend
that under the law creating the
city of Bogalusa the Parish authori-
ties have no right to impose more
than a 5 mill tax in one year; so
we ought to establish our rights
without delay and so there will be
no misunderstanding in future we
ought to show that the Police Jury
has no right or authority to levy
special taxes on the citizens of b.
galusa. When the bill creating the
city of Bogalusa was introduced in
the Legislature, it was definitely
agreed by all parties concerned
that 5 mills levied annually on the
city of Bogalusa was levied for the
purpose Of paying the citys pro-
portion for the maintenance Of the
Parish Court and for the city's pro-
portion of the Indebtedness then
hanging over the Parish. This
statement is made clearly so
that all tax payers Of the city Of
Bogalusa may be fully advised and
know what their rights are.
Many are commencing Police
Juror Sanford for his energetic
work in trying to get the Parish
finances in better shape, but see
no reason why the citizens of b.
galuSa should be asked to support
the proposition.

KAISER To GET
ANOTHER NOTE
Which Will Go To Berlin
Today And Reiterates
Previous Demands
PUBLICATION IS WITHHELD
Until 1t Has Been Received
In Berlin-Firln Stand
Is Taken
PUBLICATION IS WITHHELD

Washington, July 20.-President
Wilson and the cabinet, after two
hours discussion today, approved a
final draft of the note to Germany.
Cabinet officials refused to discuss
its contents or to intimate how the
insistence of the United States to
obtain definite answer to its repre-.
sensations on submarine warfare
had been phrased.
The note will be ready in a day
or two for dispatch to Berlin. Some
changes suggested in today's meet
ing will be incorporated and after
careful revision by Secretary Lans>
ing it will be cabled to Ambassador
Gerard.
Publication will be withheld until
the note actually has been received
in Berlin.
1t was the first cabinet meeting
in a month, and the secretaries, re-
turning from different sections Of
the country brought to the presi-
dent their views of public sentiment,
Generally, it was for taking a firm
stand.
There were no manifestations of
tension in official quarters, conf.
dence prevailing that in the alb
sence of any new violation of
American rights the situation would
not become Immediately dangerous.
Some officials were impressed, how
ever, that the attack on the British
steamer Orduna, endaneeriee Ameri-
can passengers, had introduced a
new set of circumstances, showing
that even on voyages from Europe
to the United States, submarine
warfare as waged by Germany, sub
jects neutrals to constant risks. 1t
is not certain, however, that any
reference to the Orduna will be
made in the new American note.
While the probable contents of
the new communication are not
known in detail, it will reiterate the
American governments position
that assurances must be given by
Germany that Americans may
travel the high seas without danger
on lawful missions and aboard un
resisting and unarmed merchant
vessels.

FIRST STATE BANK HAS
4 MECHANICAL WIZARD

The First State Bank, of Bogalusa
has just added a remarkable ma
chine to its office equipment. 1t
prints dates, adds old balances and
deposits, subtracts, checks, COM
putes and carries out the balances
and automatically detects over
drafts.
The machine has a steel brain
and is driven by an electric motor
which is absolutely noiseless
People not acquainted with the
inside workings Of a bank will not
fully realize the great advantage Of
machine work over hand work in
posting bank accounts. The big
advantage in these machines is the
saving of time and improvement in
the appearance and legibility of
the ledger and customers state
ment sheets. Heretofore the clerks
when posting to the ledger were
required to make a list of checks
on each account and a list of de-
posts, add each list separately and
then subtract to get balance copy
ing it IN the ledger. This is all &C.
complished III one operation by this
mechanical wizard.
Another one of the remarkable
features of the machine is that it
automatically detects and marks
Overdrafts which now are illegal.
When the checks exceed the de-
posts, no result can be printed I'M
less the lever is in the subtract"
position.
The saving in time means some.
thing to the patrons of the bank,
for this time will now be devoted
to the improvement and efficiency
of the service. Another window
has been added to relieve the con-
gestion at the counters, all without
an increase in force.
Pass books will no longer be
used except as a receipt for de-
posts. After August 1st, state
ments with Cancelled checks will be
ready on demand and the days of
leaving pass books to be balanced
and then waiting several days to
get returns are past.
