NAVAL BILL, WITH \. D.
CLAUSE PASSED
for Enlarging Navy
Yard Here Assured BY Houses
Action.

WASHINGTON, D. CT he greatest APP
preparation bill ever passed by a
United States Congress received the
final touch from the legislative branch
of the government to-day, when the
House adopted the conference report
on the naval bill. The sG0O.000,00O
measure was put over" finally with
cut a record vote, hartman Padgett
of the Naval Affairs Committee asking
for the adoption of the conference re-
port and the House agreeing TO ii by
desultory viva voce vote in which
no dissenting votes could be heard. at
least from the galleries.
The two big disagreements remain
ing after the House agreed to the
Senate's heug naval building program
we're the proposals to equip New Or
leans and Charleston yards so as to
build battleships and cruisers there
in. The conferees have been at work
on the bill since Tuesday and have
agreed that equipment for battleship
building shall be placed in yards at
Puget Sound, philadelphia, Norfolk
and Boston. However, six million dol
lars for other improvements is to be
distributed among the yards at New
! Orleans. Charleston and New York, as
we'll as the other yards which will get
the additional improvement required
for the battleship construction.
The s1,25O,OOO appropriation for ad'
ditional improvements for the Charles
ton yard. including a dry dock. goes
over till next year.
An appropriation of 100000 for a
new wharf at the New Orleans Navy
Yard also was stricken out.
The elimination reduces the total OF
the naval bill to s313,391, s43.

FERRY CO. DISTRICTS
PASSAGE WAY,
Many People Desire TO Use
Peter Vezien of Orleans levee
Board viii Investigate Matter.

At this time Of the year when the !
river is at a low stage and there are !
great deposits OF sand along the bat |
ture, many OF our residents are avail !
ing themselves Of the privilege Of !
hauling sand to fill up their lots. but
there are only few places along our
Ievee where it is easy Of access.
While river sand may be had any
where along the batture from the
Canal street ferry up to the Brewery,
it is almost impossible to get over the
levee except near Diana street and for
the parties living in the lower section
OF Algiers this extra long haul from
that seton of town means an addi-
tional expense of about ten or fifteen
cents per load. Near the Canal street
ferry there is an enormous area Of sand
deposits, which our citizens could
handle with much ease and at much
less expense, but cannot reach the
sand on account of oJstructions being
placed at his batture by the Southern
Improvement and Ferry Company,
which have lumber piles all over the
only avenue that is open to this bat
ture.
We do not believe that the South
ern Improvement and Ferry Company
has the exclusive right to the sand
on the battture. the wagon road
should be left open so that our people
may haul this sand to fill up their
lots. The Herald has taken up the
matter with Hon. Peter Vezien of the
Orleans Levee Board, who says he will
take up this matter at the next meet
ing of the board This is very i'm
portant matter for the Algiers people,
especially our builders. and Mr..
Vezien's efforts along this line to have
this batture way open will be greatly
appreciated by his many friends.

OG WAGON VISITS TOWN.

A visit OF the dog wagon to Algiers
Tuesday was attended by incidents
ont of the ordinary. In one case a
dog was given to the dog-catchers by
woman who desired to be rid OF
the animal, because she feared 1t
would destroy the plants ornament
ing the front porch. The dog, how
ever. did not relish the proposed
change in lodging places and by a
sudden dash for liberty, succeeded
in freeing himself from the clutches
Of the dog catcher, but not from the
moose With the rope and handle
dangling from his neck, the dog ran
TO the river, at the head of Bermuda
street, and took refuge far out on a
stringer OF the dry dock wharf,
where he vas captured, placed in the
dog wagon and sent to the lethal
chamber.

Fortuna, a dog catcher, at the head
of Morgan street, with the result
that Patrolman Smith. detailed on
the dog wagon. arrested Zatarain
and charged him with disturbing the
peace and using obscene language.

To Be Used Evenings

They will be placed in the game rooms
and will be used on the evenings when
the schools are turned into community
and social centers.
The Chicago Political Equality League
started the movement to place pool and
billiard tables in the schools. com
mittee, of which Mrs William A. Boland
was chairman, fought against the vicious
poolrooms of the city, and decided it was
the atmosphere of these places and not
the game itself that led boys to crime.
Pool is a clean game. If kept in clean
surroundings, they argued, and if the
boys were allowed to play the game in
the schools-where their mothers and
fathers and sisters might watch-in-
stead of in the back rooms of saloons,
and the 'hangouts of crooks" the boys
would stay away from evil companions

Beating the Queen to the Wire


tive to the condition of the British
Queen Charley Cutter, the Kansas
City correspondent wired back that ev-
cry available inch of space and every
tick of the wire was devoted to tidings
from the British sovereign and that
nothing but big stuff could get on. The
Jerry Simpson and Mary Ellen Lease
stuff had been played up SO persistently
and frequently that a query from a Kan
sas correspondent was looked on with
distrust and suspicion by A. P. man
ayers At night Leahy tried again to in
terest the Associated Press in the details
of the massacre of the bar fixtures and
the portrait of Cleo by an Infatuated
Puritan from Western Kansas but ut
terly without result. In the meantime
Queen Victoria had died and more space
was demanded to detail the events of
the Victorian age. 1t looked like there
was absolutely no chance to get a Wi
chita date line in the next morning bull
letins and Leahy had to resort to what
the A. P. manager thought he was do
ing all the time-fake little. He wired
the following query to the Kansas City
office.
Carrie Nation, saloon smasher has
wired Jerry Simpson and William J.
Bryan to defend her SOP"
The effect was electrical in view of
the prominence in a news way of both
of the noted men. The Kansas City
office wired back that they would take
twenty-five words The twenty-five
words did not make any mention of
Bryan and Simpson but detailed brief
ly what Mrs. Nation had done to the Ea-
ton Hotel bar The dispatch was put
on the wire before lunch time and in a
short time the division office commenced
to get requests from various telegraph
editors for more about the Wichita
event. Interest in what Queen Victoria
had done for peace and art dwindled
away and a lot of headline writer's with
itching fingers wanted more tidings
from Wichita. By midnight Queen Vic
toria was running about even with Car
rie Nation and by one o'clock was
poor second.
Page one, column one went to a Kan
sas woman who had never been heard of
before that day while a woman who
had majestically ruled a great en-
pire for the better part of a century
had to leave her fate with biographers.
The Kansas woman who started out to
enforce prohibition with an apron full
of rocks was bigger feature to tele-
graph editors than the daughter of a
hundred kings. By the time $50" was
on the wire the Associated
Press had abandoned their conservatism
and had used over two thousand words
and this on the night when an event of
a century, the death of England's great
est queen occurred. Many editors start
ing with the Kansas City and st. Louis

people in the town were Mortified at
such a fragrant abuse of their rights
which they had won so fairly and so
overwhelmingly at all recent municipal
elections. The wanton and malicious de-
struction of property by fanatical wo-
man was a thing that was not to be toll
Grated. Angry saloon men called up
city officials and demanded that they
give them the protection that was com
ing to them even if they had to call out
the state militia. They ordered the po-
lice to throw the "crazy old woman" in
Jail which order was promptly executed.
There was some doubt about the charge
that could be filed against Mrs. Nation
as she was destroying property which
was outlawed After Mrs. Nation was
placed in the city Jail the saloon men
caused quarantine to be placed around
the Jail claiming that it was infested
with small poX. In this manner they
kept her a prisoner without any charge
and also kept number of Wichita wo-
men away from the Jail Her vigorous
action had stirred up number of local
women and the frequent and animated
conferences held with Mrs. Nation as the
High Priest of Further Disorder caused
stern alarm to course through the
ranks of the liquor men. The serious
side of it soon followed the mirth that
her vigorous outbreak occasioned and
they feared that it would result in a
call to arms to other Wichita women.
With all of the excitement brought
about in Wichita and the calling of at
tenton to the fragrant violation of the
law the efforts of Mrs. Nation would
have amounted to nothing had it not
been for the publicity the incident re-
cieved To Dave Leahy, noted Irish
Jayhawker and newspaper reporter be-
longs the credit for putting Mrs. Nation
on the map. 1t was probably not with
any desire to assist the crusade she
was launching nearly so much as it
was the keen nose for news that has
made Leahy the Dean of Kansas report
ers. At the time of the Wichita out
break, Leahy was not reporter but was
Telegraph Editor of the Wichita Eagle,
under Victor Murdoch. 1t would not
be proper nor reverent to say that
he was in the bar at the time Mrs. Ma
ton launched her raid but he was in
the hotel. Some other matter had at
tracted his attention and he was follow
ing tip that someone had given him
that certain we'll known politician was
in the hotel. The politician did not want
the fact that he was in town to be
known which of course justified Leahy
in seeking to give publicity to the fact
The crowd which swiftly gathered on
the sidewalk in front of the bar and the
noise that the excitement produced at
Lracted Leahy to the front of the bar
and he arrived just in time to see Mrs.
Nation hurl four pound pebble through
