Papers Seized BY Natives Reveal Work
Of Invsdsrs-Hesvy Fine Imposed on
City Where German Was kiiied--Or-
ssnixstion Has Newspaper Organ
That Can't Be Suppressed.

An Official % the Belgian government
who has escaped from Brussels through
the German lines by the underground
railway" and has just arrived at The
Hague tells some startling stories OF
the mysterious undercurrents by which
Belgians are constantly undermining
the German military authorities In Bel
GUM
According TO this official, great Bel
CLAN secret society, avowedly terror
istic In It's plans aud methods aud pat
termed after the famous kuklux Khan,
which existed in the southern states
ia the years after the American civil
war, was organized some months ago
and Is constantly increasing Us scope
and activities, which have already
succeeded IN causing the German au-
thorities much trouble.
This society il believed 10 have been
responsible for the death or Gels De-
rode, the German spy who betrayed
Miss Edith Cavel and who recently
was shot down by M unidentified hand.
The German authorities have arrested
two men. barber and an electrician,
for the murder. but are said 10 have
no real clew 10 It's perpetrators.
Has Newspaper Organ.
The famous newspaper. Free Bel
GUM. which liz published regularly un-
der the noses OF the German officials
despite all their efforts 20 suppress IL,
Is supposed 10 be the organ OF the SO.
cret society Ii has stated that the
death or Derode cost but one franc and
that many more francs will be avail
able for similar work.
The only reply which General Won
Kissing has yet been able 10 make for
the death Of his spy has been the levy
ing OF fine OF 100000 marks about
Sl20.OO0l on the city or Brussels. II
had previously been reported that this
fine was levied because Derode was
shot by an unlicensed revolver. The
escaped Belgian official gives diff
ferent version OF the AFFAIR
II appears from his statement that
after Derode had been killed Bel.
CLAN coroners court was the first au-
thoritatiye body TO appear on the scene,
arriving some time before any repre-
sentative OF the German authorities.
The court seized all Derode's papers
and examined them. These papers re-
vealed all Derode's spying activities
and included reports OF payments TO
him by the German authorities.
The Belgian officials refused TO sur.
render these papers when General Won
Kissing demanded them, and for this
reason General Won Kissing fined the

HORSE RACE CARD
 AT FAIR, TWO DAYS.

Two days of running horse races are promised visitors to the Louisia- ma State Fair, November 1 to 6, 1n- elusive, and particularly interesting feature of the program is that nothing but running events are scheduled. The management realizes that running races please almost everybody, being much more popular than harness events, and on that account all the time and purses this year will be de- voted to the running contests.
 The meet will be held Thursday and Friday, November ? and 8. Seven races each afternoon are promised. The purses will range from $100 to $250 for each race.
 The track here is one of the fastest in the South, and the management is we'll liked by horsemen. These two facts will help to make the race meet a complete success.
 George R. King of Dallas will off cate as superintendent of the horse races.
 For data about entries and other in formation, apply to Secretary l.. N. Brueggerhoff, Shreveport.

Prizes az gregatins at least $50 will pc awarded and it is expected that there will be a stage full of the talented old fiddle performers in the competition.
 The contest is open to all sections of the United States, but, as usual, most of the contestants will come from points in Louisiana, East Texas and South Arkansas. Some of those who would like to take part are too old to travel much of distance and will have to content themselves with reading about their fellow tiddlers, who will have the privilege of pick ing their own selections.
 AS the old fiddlers as a rule enjoy the pieces of their younger days, the audience is promised unique program. Everybody IS invited to the contest free of charge. in the Coli. Seum

MODEL DAIRY AT LOUISIANA FAIR.

One of the particularly interesting features of the cattle department of the Louisiana State Fair, November 1 to 6, will be model dairy, built with lumber donated by Louisiana lumber manufacturers and equipped at the expense of the Fair Association. It will be in charge Of experts, who will explain the various details, especially with view of encouraging more dairying in Louisiana and adjoining states, where soil, climate and other conditions are so advantageous for the dairy business.
 In addition to furnishing the mate. rial for erecting the dairy, the lumber men will have a plan for distribution among the farmers who visit tn. building. These plans will slow how similar dairies may be placed on the farms at reasonable cost by using 1 Louisiana lumber The plans will es- pecially fit a dairy to accommodate l twelve cows
 1 In lending this assistance. the lum- Der men are not only boosting their l industry, but are showing their in- terest in the state fair, and especially in the dairy industry, and all who are interested in dairying are urged to visit the model building.
