CHANGE TN POLICY

A C0RDINGs to the latest reports the President has
~ agafnSshifted1 his policy on the question of raising
headditiona revenues needed for the preparedness
campaign. The original scheme Of President Wilson met
With such universal protest and disfavor, even his own
party member n ICongress setting up a loud cry over the
propossda program that the chief executive decided that
there must be something radically wrong and at once
okstepsstoremed the situation.
Tho members OF the Ways and Means committee of
the ~ the guests of the Secretary Of the Treas;
William 6. SsMcAdoo at a little dinner'party on satur-
day eyentng65and as they together slipped the soothing
ava itsbecame known that the administration had
thEowna overheard its previous recommendations for
raistnggsyenue. &5
RTomtnenk among the taxes that the president had pro.
pesedsbutg which he has decided he will not urge further
are hefollowtng:
a gtanpstax on bank checks. :
Aonelcentta gallon tax on gasoline.
Atax8 on internal explosion engines, which would in
ei1de motorScar engines.
nouneed Of 1.-THE dinner on Saturday evening, is to make
the feIlpw$ who has the money pay the bills. In other
Rtrds thas fundamental idea Of the new plan is to place
me burdensofa the additional revenues on the well TODD
md Feh classes. Except for one or two items, it is
proposed that the t1aboring classes and most of the ag-
r%aculturals classes will escape altogether the burden OF
ddidonalsreyenue
The new tag proposals Of the administration are
pumedg up as follows:
Increasing tie amount of revenue to come from the
income tax
Theslayyingsof a Federal Inheritance tax.
RetainingSthe tariff on. sugar, as proposed in the Pres.
adcntas first to Congress In his message.

KILLEDBY CARS

Coroner Bulloch held an inquest,
Thursday morning, on the body Of
Curtis Ball. colored, the finding Of
the jury being that Ball was run
over by train on the tracks Of the
New Orleans Great Northern Rail
road Ball was employed getting
out railroad ties for the Salmen
Brick and Lumber Company He
had been in Covington and had
drank some while here. It is
thougt that he attempted to board
an outgoing train, missed his foot
ing and was hurled under it The
body was terribly mangled and pre-
sented a greWsome appearance as it
lay in the undertaking establishment
of Schoen & Molloy. Evidently the
body had been dragged beneath the
cars, where the head had been dragg
ed over the ties until it was crushed
and scalped. Bones Of the body
were broken and the flesh torn. No
limbs were amputated. The acct
dent occurred between Ramsay and
Covington, about mile and a half
from Covington

McKEE
HOME AGAIN
AND WILLIE
ARRESTED
McKee's Miraculous Recoy-
cry Followed by Disclos-
ures that Cause Warrant
for F. Willie's Arrest.

Robert Mckee, Nao received ten
knife wounds In the affray at Fol-
som February % AZ midnight, after
the closing CT the polls, was brought
from the. hospital in New Orleans
last Sunday. It was thought al the
time that he had no chance for re-
covery. Who did the cutting was
kept "a secret, and newspaper re-
porters who visited Mckee at the
New Orleans hospital We're unable
to learn anything from him. Since
his return, however, it has been
rumored that Frank Willie was the
guilty party. and the fact that a
warrant for his Arrest has been is
sued from the sheriffs office shows
that some one % the thirteen who
were present the night of the cutting
has told what ne knows. The cause
OF the quarrel still seems to be
secret and will probably only be
known when the trial comes up. It
is said that Mckee had had a fight
previously with one of the Willie
boys and that there had since that
time been a feeling OF bitterness
between them. WiHie's bond will
probably be placed at $500.

DIR. WIN. K. NEY
WILL LECTURE
ON INCIDENTS
OF THE WAR
DR.. Ney Was in the Hospital
of the French Army at the
Front and Won High Hon
ors for Services Rendered.

DR.. X. Winfield Ney, at the So
Hcitation Of quite a. number, will de-
liver free lecture at the courthouse
Wednesday evening, March Ii, at s
o'clock, giving his experiences dur
ing five and One-lralf months in the
War Zone
DR.. Ney's lecture should prove
most interesting, because 1t will deal
with facts that have only come to us
second-handed and unverifed. His
high standing IN fae medical profess
sion and his great surgical skill
made him an invaluable servant in
the alleviation of suffering and the
saving Of life at the front IN France,
and his services were recognized by
high honors. He held the title Of
Major Surgeon-in-Chief Of the Ninth
Auxiliary Of the French Red Cross.
He was appointed by the French
Minister of War on the recommen-
dation Of the American ambassador,
and in recognition OF his services to
the sick and wounded soldiers, he
was three times decorated, cited fof
the Legion OF Honor and received
three crosses.
The lecture is entirely free and
will no doubt fill the courthouse au-
ditorium vita men and women who
will take this opportunity of getting
information at first hand and not
by vague report-incidents that viii
be interesting. Out-of-town visit
ors should come early in order to
avoid standing.

In this state q libelous allegation
is not privileged unless founded on
probable cause. In a. suit for dam
ages for q malicious prosecution, the
plaintiff Is not required to specially
allege that the defendant knew that

allege that the charges are false,

The dismissal or discontinuance
by the state of an Impeachment suit,

1t is, therefore, ordered that the

Zaza is a popular singer in one of
the gayest music halls in Paris. She
leads very tempestuous life and Is
much sought after by the beaux of
the town. One night she meets
Bernard, man about town, behind
the scenes and, after a frivolous
Irritation, falls deeply In love with
him. 1t is not long before he es-
tablishes her In an apartment, where
they live happily for several months
Her infatuation for Bernard is the
only real and lasting emotion that
Zaza has ever experienced and she
idedicates her whole crude nature to
the task Of making him happy. It
is therefore a terrible blow to her
when she discovers that Bernard is
married and has a little daughter.
Stung to the depths OF her savage
nature by the duplicity Of the only
man she ever really cared for, Zaza's
first thought is for revenge.
With fendish accuracy she hits
upon a plan OF going straight to the
wife OF her betrayer and announcing
herself as his mistress % the one
best method Of obtaining the genge.

MODERN SILO ON HOOD FARM

Mr.. w. A. Hood, who has
just been elected a member
of the Police Jury from the
Second Ward, is an enthusi-
astic believer in the future
of st. Tammany parish as q
stock country. He has
some fine cattle and he Is
studying the question OF
stock-raising from an eco
nomical and profitable point
of view. Just as he has
made a success of his tur-
pentine business, so he will
make a success of his cat
tie business, because he will
adopt those methods that
nave brought success to
Q t h er stock-raisers. Be-
sides studying the best
crops for feeding and for
keeping up the fertility Of
his soil, he will have silos
to provide green winter
food.
Mr.. Hood is one OF the
progressive men of the Sec
ond Ward and has lent his
influence to every up-lift
movement, including MAIN
tenance of good schools and
good farming.
