NEED OF ASSISTANCE

Natchez, Miss Feb. 25.-ApproXi
mately 10000 persons in the flooded
district of Northern Louisiana are in
need of assistance, according 70 9
statement made in an appeal received
here from Mayor William Davidson
of St Joseph. He said most OF tho
sufferers were negro tenants on plan
tations.
"You car count the number OF
planters on the fingers OF one hand
who are able to provide for their ne
groes," he said.
Mayor Jacoby of Newellton was
quoted as stating that the citizens OF
Newellton considered government aid
necessary.
He said mass meeting at Newell
ton showed the opinion prevailed that
since it was a government levee that
broke at Buck Ridge the government
at least should supply food for the
refugees.

CENTRAL POWERS BUY GRAIN
Contract With Roumania for 100000
Carloads.

Milan, Feb 25-The Bucharest cor
respondendeGt of the Secolo says that
the second contract for 100000 car
loads of corn, oats, barley and other
cereals has been settled between the
Austro-German syndicate and Rou-
mania and that it only remains to ar
range the method of payment.
Ii is said that the Austro-Germans
have agreed to deposit half the sum
involved in the National Bank OF
Bucharest. The delivery of $4,000
carloads of the first contract will be
made month earlier than was ex-
pected. as the Danube has not frozen
over this year.
The correspondent adds that the
AustroGermans also have undertaken
TO purchase any surplus from the 1915
crop above the 1000 carloads men
toned after Roumania's own needs
are supplied.

0RPET DEFENSE OUTLINED
Attorneys VIII Claim Miss Lambert
Killed Herself.

Chicago. Feb. 25.-The principal
features of the defense in the case of
William Orpet, accused of the muir
der of Marian Frances Lambert, ac-
cording to a statement by his attor-
reys are
The girl was not on the morning
of death and never had been in a
delicate condition.
She deliberately had deceived Or
pet in that matter.
There was no reason for taking
medicine
Accessibility to poison was as easy
to the girl as to Orpet
The defense will contend that the
girl ended her own life. Whether Or
\ pet will take the witness stand. ac-
cording to his lawyers, depends on
how strong the states case turns out

BOMB IN CAPITOL FURNACE
Attempt to Destroy Nebraska State
house at Lincoln.

Lincoln. Neb Feb. 25.-An attempt
was made to blow up the Nebraska
capitol four-foot bomb enclosed in
steel casing being exploded in a
trash furnace in the west wing.
The force of the explosion threw
the bomb from the furnace and against
a stone wall six feet distant, but it
did not explode further after being
hurled from the flames in the incinera-
tor
Only a portion of the powder was
exploded and it is believed that if
the bomb had not been hurled out by
tile first explosion much damage
might have resulted.
The force of the explosion scatter
ed burning paper and rubbish about,
but the incipient fire was extinguish-
ed by Janitor Hate Harlan, who had
lighted the fire and who was near the
scene Of the explosion.
