The Southern Pacific railroad
is now annually spending consid
cradle sums OF money in building
new dcpots and laying out little
parks and beauty spots at various
stations along the line. New
Iberia is one Of the most recent
recipients Of this species Of gene
r sity-for it is purely matter
of philanthropy, an evidence of
civic pride which a corporation is
rarely expected to feel. For
many years the vacant plot OF
ground just opposite the depot
and west of the main track. was
d vcritahlc eycsore. Naturally a
'owlying spot, in rainy weather
it was wet and DOGGY, here and

~aek bolts and spikes were the
principal decorations. Now it
been filled in to grade and

a great raised centre piece dis

little things show, that after all,
operations are human and have

AVER WILSON
WILL GLADLY
BOOST PEACE
President Reported Ready to
Act in Informal Way to
Aid Movement.

Washington, May 26.-From an au-
thoritative source it was learned to-
day that the president is preparing to
do everything possible in an informal
way to bring about the discussion OF
peace between belligerent nations.
The president is convinced the war
is deadlocked and that continuance
merely means the killing of more peo-
pie and the further impoverlshment of
European nations, both belligerent and
neutral.
Mr.. Wilson is understood to agree
with a suggestion that a peace follow
ing a decisive defeat of one nation or
group would create only lasting hatred
and SOW seeds of future conflicts.
The president takes the position that
the neutrals of the world as much as
belligerents, have right TO participate
in any peace negotiations because the
economic results already developed
and those which will follow the con-
lict.
The president has been deeply inter
ested in the growth OF peace talk
among responsible officials in several
of the belligerent nations during the
last three weeks. He has read and
filed away recent speeches by Presi-
dent Poincare of France, Sir Edward
Grey, foreign minister of Great Britain,
and Chancellor Won Bethmann-Holl-
veg of Germany.

LANSING DENIES
He WILL RESIGN

Washington, May 26.-The state de-
partment made this statement regard
ing published reports that Secretary
Lansing was contemplating reslgnlng
from the cabinet because OF differences
with President Wilson:
This story is part of q propaganda,
the dilberate purpose Of which is TO
create an appearance of dissensiOn in
the government which does not exist.
The story was born last February or
March when the relations between the
United States and Germany were
somewhat strained. 1t was sent to
Berlin by wireless in press dispatches
1t was picked up in transit in an al
lied country and subsequently pub
lishede there. In that way the state
department became cognizant of the
story and instructions were sent TO
Berlin to watch out for it. Appar-
emily the persons responsible found
out we were prepared for the story
because it never was published in
Germany. The directors of this
propaganda have now taken advantage
of Secretary Lansing's illness TO put
the story out again"
Mr.. Lansing personally denied that
he was considering resigning.

ensued in which the officers used their
swords. One woman was arrested for
