TO DEVELOP GRAND ISLE
COUNTRY.

New Orleans, July 29.-For the
first time in its history the re-
markably rich country south of
, New Orleans. along the lower
coast and over toward Grand
Isle. will feel the touch of con-
certed and concentrated develop
ment at the hands of syndicate
Of well known New Orleans capi-
talists who, having acquired the
Grand Isle Railroad reaching
from New Orleans into that dis
trict, are prepared to spend ade-
quate sums to develop the big
commercial possibilities which
heretofore have had no attention
of this character. The members
of the syndicate are Hugh Mae
Closkey, President of the Amer
lean Cities Co. and Director Of
the Hibernia Bank; Bernard Me-
Closkey, Attorney; Frank B.
Hayne, Director of the Hibernia
Bank, merchant and capitalist;
c. E. Allgeyer, c. p. Ellis and r.
G. Bush, all cotton merchants
and men of means; Walter G..
Weiss, Generas Dufous, Lee Be-
moist and Hugh Vincent, Harrison
d. Emerson is General Manager
of the properties which, under
his administration, have already
begun to show an increase in
earnings.
The purpose of the syndicate
is to devote it's present attention
to the purely commercial and in !,
dustrial side Of developing traffic.
for the railroad and extending
the latter by rail and by boat
into the hitherto neglected field. !,
This is the great orange or citrous
fruit belt Of Louisiana, and is
known as the richest land in the
United States, particularly for
and fruit, while the
development of the oyster,
shrimp, crab, fish and terrapin in
dustries will be given big i'm
petus by reason of quick hand
ling and immediate deliveries to
the New Orleans market and the
rapid transit thence to the north
ern markets.
The promotion of Grand isle,
with it's nine mile .beach.-.as... 4
and winter resort, while
not q matter of immediate inten-
ion, is included in the scheme of
future development. Il

BRINGS QUANTITY,

When you employ a man to
drive your team on the farm you
do not select a weakling who
would stagger under a fifty
pound weight. You want a man.
When you want a horse for
speed and endurance you do not
pick up a sway-backed, string
halted and spawned plug. If
you did you would live and die
in the shadow of the same spot.
Then why should not the same
farsiehted sagacity be applied to
the selection of your dairy stock!
Too many people are content to
buy dairy stock of inferior breed
and trust to quantity to produce
the financial returns. Their ex-
pectations are seldom realized.
Quantity is quantity, but it is
quality that brings the price.
Quantity. in fact, is one of the
underlying results of quality, and
the man who keeps up the quality
invariably reaps the reward of
both quality and quantity.
There is no economy, no spirit
of thrift, in buying cheap dairy
stock. for cheap cow, like every
thing else cheap. is just simply
cheap.
It is the essence of wisdom to |
get good stock and keep up the
breed. The quantity of milk will
be greater. the quality will be
hioher. and the financial returns |
will be larger.
Quality brings quantity, in
dairyine as well as in all other
lines Of business.-Times Plea

WEEPING JURORS.

Tears are common enough il
court rooms, but tears in the jury
box are something new. Womer
jurors are responsible for thi!
sentimental invasion. In a mur
der trial in Leavenworth, Kan.
there were three women on the
jury. The two men on trial were
acquitted to the accompaniment
of profuse and joyous weeping on
the part of the feminine jurors.
Many a male jury has been
moved to compassion-often un-
wisely the tears of a paid de-
fendant. And when men sworn
to administer justice are subject
to such frailty, it would be un-
fair to find fault with women for
being carried away by. their emo
tions when the situation is re-
versed. and a mans life lies in
their hands. Women anyhow,
are no more sentimental than men
they only show it differently.
Still, the incident is a bit dis
to those who believe in
the administration of justice
without too much tempering of
merciful tears. It is notOriously
difficult to get any male jury to
a woman guilty of
murder. Now, if women are 60,
ng to sit on criminal juries gen.
erally. will any man be found
yuilty?-Town Talk.

NEW ENGLAND
R. R. HEARINGS
Counsel for Both Sides Directed
to Submit Briefs within 80
Days - Concerns Freigh t
Rates on Consignments to
Southern and Western Points

. New York. Sept 13.-The hearings on
the proposal Of New England railroads
to cancel proportional and trans-shipr:ent
freight rates on consignments to south
ern and western points were concluded
here today. Counsel for both sides were
directed to submit briefs within 30 days.
Witnesses today included representatives
of New England industries which would,
according to the testimony. be affected if
the present rates were increased. F. C.
Murray, trafnc manager of the National
Fireworks Co. Of West Hanover, Mass.
asserted that higher tariffs would injure
his shipments to New Orleans, Texas and
Pacific coast points, and similar state
ments were made by Charles E. Butman,
traffic manager of the New England Con-
fectionery Co. of Boston, and j. H. Nc
Cannon, traffic manager of the Boston
Wover Hose & Rubber Co.
Testimony given yesterday on behalf OF
the Mallory Line to the effect that If
the proposed new railroad rates were al
lowed the steamship companies would
either have to withdraw from competition
or else charge higher tariffs, today was
supplemented by testimony by Louis
Wake, general freight agent Of the Old
Dominion Steamship Co. The railroads
reiterated that such assertions by the
water carriers were irrevelant to the
roads petition.

.MUN|C|PA AL FUEL
YARD, PORTLAND,
TO have HEARING
SUPREME COURT

Portland, Me, Sept. 13.-Portland's
municipal fuel yard proposition, which
has been in the courts almost four
years now, and which finally entered
the supreme court Of the United
States In Washington last January,
will teach the trial stage there some
time during the month Of April next
according to notification received by
Eben Winthrop Freeman Of this city,
attorney for the petitioners. When the
case comes UP in April Mr.. Freeman
will go to Washington to present the
Petitioners side Of the argument be-
fore the supreme court Of the United
States while Corporation Counsel
Henry P. Frank will present the side
OF the city of Portland.
The case arose in the vote Of the
people at the December election in
1912 to the effect that the city should
establish and operate a municipal coal
yard to supply fuel at cost to its cit
liens. Following the vote of the peo-
pie to this effect the city government
Inc following February passed a res
olution that such a municipal fuel
yard should be established, getting
their authority for such passage from
an act of the Legislature.
Shortly after the resolution has gone
through the c. government. 10 or a
dozen citizens rltitioned the supreme
court OF tn, State to enjoin the city of
Portland frpm establishing such a fuel
yard on tho ground that it was viola
ton Of the State constitution which pro-
hibits the taking Of private property for
uses not public. the property being the
monies derived from taxation which
would be required to establish and main
tain such place.
The matter went to the law court and
mat body decided that the establishment
OF such yard was not in contraventfon
OF any night guaranteed by the State con-
sututior. on the ground that municipal
tuel yaN was to be considered as for
public purposes. Upon tho handing down
OF this decision citizens then petitioned
'ne Law court that the establishment OF
such yard was in violation Of the Unit
60 States constitution, the law court de-
c'oing. however. that it was not. This
oecisidn, however, gave opportunity for
an appeal to the supreme court Of the
United States as from a state court de-
eislon touching Interpretation Of the con-
sotutitn of the United States.
Accddingly Mr.. Freeman in January
VI tni' year entered the case in the SUI
prefne court at Washington, and has just
receivtd word that II viii probably come
up fol trial during the f,rst Of April.

The belief is entertained in the En-.

the allies. Recent dispatches from Ber-

will soon abandon neutrality and 1oir

ers.
The precise causes which led to the
resignation Of the ministry have MI
been disclosed, on account Of the ex.
ceptionally rigid censorship which il
being maintained. A London dispatch
of yesterday said NJ. Zaimis hal com.
planned that internal incidents were
preventing him from dealing with the
external situation. It is belle we'd IN
to the fact that he accepted the pre.
miership on the understanding that re
was to maintain neutrality and that in
view of the Bulgarian occupation OF
Greek territory he had found this tc
be impossible.
Political affairs reached crisis aft.
er the Bulgarians invaded northeast
ern Greece and the followers Of former
Premier Vcnizelos served warning on
King Constantine that he must aban-
don the advisers who, 1t was said, had
misled him and Influenced him in IA

Venizelos expressed confidence in NJ
Zaimis, whom he asked the king to
support, and it was understood ar
agreement had been reached under
which the Zaimis ministry was to con.
tinue in power with the support Of the
Venizelos party.
After the fall Of the Venizelos cabi-
net in october of last year, on account
Of the Kings disagreement with the
policy of that ministry in favor of ell
tering the war with the allies, NJ
Zaimis was called on to form a cal,i-
