sRANzA,s CAUSE LOOMING UP

Latest news from Mexico seems to
indicate growing strength on the
part of the supporters of Gen. Car
rama and to forecast a fierce strug-
gle between them and the combined
forces of Villa and Zapata for con-
troll of the unfortunate republic.
The newest provisional president,
Cara, is reported TO have followed
the example Of his several predeces-
sors in fleeing from the City of
Mexico, and the capital is expected
soon to be in the possession of the
Carranzistas, who hold Vera Cruz,
Tampico and other important places
in central and southern Mexico.
Cara will establish new seat OF
government at Cuernavaca.
Gen. Alvarado, formerly post COM
mander at Mexico City, is in COM
mand of the Carranza army about
to occupy the capital, and Gen. OBJ
RECON is reported near at hand with
another army of Carranza troops.
Provisions are scarce in the city and
prices have risen enormously, hence
there is much suffering among the
poor. The only hope of early relief
seems to be in the resumption Of
traffic On the railroad to Vera Cruz.
Mexico, like Europe, is surely in
the middle of very bad fix.

INVESTIGATION IN ASCENSION
Farmers Preparing to Raise Various
Crops This Year.

Under the heading, What LOU
lsiana Farmers Are Doing" Modern
Farming publishes abstracts from
the weekly field reports of demon
sfrat1on agents in the various par
1shes, as submitted to State Agent
Mason Snowden. The following ex-
cerpt Is quoted from a recent re-
port by Milton Cannon, one of the
agents in charge of the demonstra-
tion work in Ascension parish:
THE farmers generally are pre-
pairing to diversity the coming year.
find some charging their pastures
to have room to raise hogs for home
use. Most all of the farmers are try
Ing to have a fall and winter garden.
A great many are preparing to plant
potatoes for home use and a few to
sell Some are planting onions and
others truck. Some are preparing to
plant more hay for market and it
looks as if the cotton acreage will
be cut down SO per cent and filled
in with other such crops, as above
mentioned. AS for oats, there has
not been so much planted as I hoped
to see, still there are more planted
than in previous years.

JlTNEY BUS SERVICE.
up-to-Date Enterprise to be Launch
ed by Local Company.

Always in line with every progress
iv0 movement, Donaldsonville will
soon be able to boast of jitney bus
service between this city and points
on Bayou Lafourche. A company
composed of Alex. Bloomenstiel, pres,
ident of the Lafourche Mercantile
Co, Ltd; Jasmin Tobias, proprietor
of the New Orleans Bargain Store,
and r. S. Vickers, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, has been
formed to operate the enterprise,
and the order has already been plac-
ed for motor bus capable of &C
commodating from twenty to thirty
passengers. For the present a serv-
ice will be maintained between this
city and Napoleonville, and as soon
as gravel roads are constructed in
Lafourche parish the route will be
extended to Thibodaux. At the start
at least three round trips day will
be made, and the fare to be charged
will be in the neighborhood Of three
cents per mile, or approximately the
same as is charged by the railroad.
While only one car will be placed
in commission for the present, 9TH
ers will be added as rapidly as the
development of the passenger traf-
fic may require, and in view of the
advantages to be offered by the serv-
ice it is confidently expressed the
venture Will prove a success from the
start and that ultimately several cars
will be in operation, maintaining
continuous schedule between Donald
sonville and all points on both sides
OF Bayou Lafourche as far down as
Thibodaux.
The local office of the company
will be in the Chamber of Commerce
headquarters at the corner of Missis-
sippi and Lessard streets. All ar
rangements for the Inauguration of
the enterprise have been completed,
and the jitney line will begin bust
ness as soon as the first car ar

FREE TRAFFIC BRIDGE AT DON
JACKSONVILLE.

There is much to commend in the
ordinance adopted by unanimous vote
of the police jury of this parish at
its meeting on the 18th inst, max
ing traffic over the Bayou Lafourche
bridge at Donaldsonville free from
and after the expiration OF the pres
ent lease, providing the commission
council of the city concurs in the
measure.
This may be well classed as judi
cious and progressive legislation, and
we are gratified to learn that it is
considered certain the municipal au-
give it their approval.
Doing away with the tolls now
charged to cross this bridge will no
doubt mean much to Donaldsonville
and have the result of substantially
travel into the city on
the part of the people of the parish
and vicinity residing on the west
side of the bayou.
The current lease will expire
March 25 next, and it is safe to as
'ume that from that date travel and |
rattle over the bridge will be free.

PROGRESS OF THE PROBE COM
MISSION

The legislative probe commission
met at New Orleans on the 18th
| inst, pursuant to the Rayyille adj
! journment, and after electing Hon.
Chas. A. Byrnes Of Orleans to fill
the vacancy CAUSED by the death of
Hon. jos. e. Generelly, resumed and
completed the investigation of the
Tensas land case
No material facts were developed
which had not been previously
known, and the summary Of the mat
ter presented in The Chief of Jan. 2
may be accepted as substantially cor
rect and complete.
Governor Hall and Attorney Gen
eral Pleasant were witnesses before
the commission, and there was con-
siderable fencing between them over
their relative connection with and
responsibility for the compromise of
the land suit by the present Tensas
levee board, but personal and faction
al animus apparently played a great
er part in this dispute than any
really important issue Of facts or
morals. The members of the board
not only freely assumed all response
bility for accepting the 100000 of
fered in compromise, but defended
the action as justifiable under con-
ditions then existing and approved
by their constituents.
Nobody impugns the honesty or
good faith of the levee commission
ers in the transaction, and Chair
man Buie Indignantly repudiated any
idea of such an attitude on the part
of the probe commission. What's
the use, then, of splitting hairs as
to whether it was the duty of Gov.
Hall or Mr. Pleasant, or of either
or neither of them to advise the
levee board against doing what the
members and the people they repre-
sent wished to be done? ~
Having disposed of the state bond
sale AND Tensas land case, at least
SO far as the taking of evidence is
concerned, the probers have divided
themselves up into twenty-one sub,
committees for the purpose of in
vestigating court procedure, state in
situations and a lot of other things.

A DIFFERENT OK.
Attitude of Bank Examiner Appar-
emily Depends on "Who's Who.'

The New Orleans Item of Jan. Is
contains very strong story of the
alleged embezzlement, in 1912, of
$4,000 from the Winfield bank by
II. T. Pye, who afterwards caused
the failure of the Farmers and Mer-
chants Bank at st. Francisville.
The Item shows that while this vio-
lation Of IRw was reported to the
attorney-general by the state bank
examiner, he took no steps to urge
prosecution of the crime, but allowed
the whole matter to lapse through
the inactivity of the district attor-
ney. The argument therefore is that
it is exceedingly strange that Mr..
Young was so Indifferent to this
case, where thousands of dollars
were involved, and was so active,
not to say virulent, in the Capital
City Bank case.
This most. recent revelation does
not increase Mr.. Young's popularity
in the Felicianas, as he permitted
the people here to entrust their
money to the care of man whom
he had previously charged with a
serious defalcation, without uttering
one word of warning. Mr.. Young's
friends urge in answer to this that
h was not actively bank examiner
at the time, as it occurred during
the litigation over Mr.. Sims ap-
pointment. Nevertheless Mr.. Young
was de jure state bank examiner, as
was afterwards determined, and it
would have been a big card in hsp
favor had he uttered a friendly
warning, and it would have been in
line with his contention of being
the rightful examiner had he done
so.-St. Francisville True Democrat.
