 So numerous have the crangs become that the government has increased it's force assigned to this particular work. While the vast majority of the sufferers are harmless, fear is great that at any moment a violent individual bent on ending the war by the assassination of the President, may make his appearance. As an item in the situation, the fact is admitted, stands out indeed that the life of the President is constantly in danger.
 Among the sufferers detained are many women, the ratio being probably one woman to three men.

German Submarine Sinks
 Danish Ship Outside Zone and Without Examination

Copenha gen. June 2S.-Sinking by a German submarine outside the prohib- ited zone and without examination of the 450-ton Danish steamer Ivigtut was reported by her commander on his arrival here today.
 The captain says his ship was keep ing well clear of the zone when. with out the slightest warning. a torpedo was fired but did not damage the ship, passing under her. The subma- rine then emerged and sent the Ivig- tut to the bottom by artillery fire. The submarine commander left the Danish vessels crew in their boats 150 miles from land. The sinking was carried out without even an inquiry as to the name of the vessel.

 McGee, like other polleemen Who have testified < had to have his an swers dragged from him. McGee added thai his search of Cocchls premises ,,,as not exhaustive. Asked why, he explained:

Hale Court Ruling

Montgomery, June 2S.-(Special)-Th supreme court Thursday ruled that spe- cial laws relating to the county court of Hale were repealed by the general law of 1915 which created a county court In each county with the probate judge as ex officio judge. By this ruling the pro- bate judge will become head of the court In Hale county. Cad Garrett, clerk of the circuit court, contended that local law applied and that the probate judge was ex officio clerk of the county court. The suit was a friendly one to bring about the construction of the law.

Ordinary Nuxated Iron Will Make De. iieats, Nervous, Rundown People 200 Per Cent Stronger in Two Weeks

NEW YORK, N. Y..--Most people foolishiy seem to think they are going to get renewed health and strength from some stimulating medicine. se-

 rope, when, as matter of fact, real and true strength can only come from the food you eat. But people often fail to get the strength out of their food because they haven't enough iron

This thing may go on for years, while the patient suffers untold agony. If you are not strong or well, you owe it to yourself to make the following test. See how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next take two five grain tablets of ordinary nuxated iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see for yourself how much you have gained. I have pie who were ailing all the while, double and even triple their strength and endurance and entirely get rid of all symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles in from ten to fourteen

 SAN FRANCISCO, June 12.-Two and a half millions of dollars for the Liberty loan bond subscriptions has arrived here today on liner from the Hawaiian islands. The money covers half of the amount that was sub scrfbed by residents and tourists who are now residing at this United States possessions.
 Among the passengers on the liner were a number of young men wlo have come to this country to enlist in the army Judging from the statement of those and other pa,sen- gers the spirit of patriotism is not confined to the states, as they Say that patriotic demonstrations were the order of the day on all the islands when it became known that the Uni ted States had declared war
 Another vessel that is on it's way to this country is said to be carry ing more of the subscription money and the total from Hawaii is expect ed te reach between SIX and seven million.

days time simply by taking iron in the proper forms, and this after they had in some cases been doctoring for months without obtaining any benefit. But don't take the old forms of re duced iron, iron acetate or tincture of iron simpy to save a few cents. You must take iron in a form that can be easily absorbed and assimilated like nuxated iron if you want it to do you any good, otherwise it may prove worse than useless. Many an athlete or prize fighter has won the day simply be- cause he knew the secret of great strength and endurance and filled his blood with iron before he went into the affray, while many another has gone down to inglorious defeat simply for the lack of iron.
 Note.-NuAated Iron recommended above by Dr. Sauer, is one of the newer organic iron compounds. Un- like the older inorganic iron products, it is easily assimilated, does not injure the teeth, make them black, nor upset the stomach; on the contrary, it is a most potent remedy, in nearly all forms of indigestion, as well as for nervous. run-down conditions. The Manufacturers have such great confi- dence in Nuxated Iron that they offer to forfeit $100.00 to any charitable institution if they cannot take any man or woman under GO who lacks iron and increase their strength 200 per cent or over in four weeks time pro- vidcd they have no serious organic trouble. They also offer to refund your money if it does not at least double your strength and endurance in ten days time. It is dispensed in this city by Lomen Bros. successors to Butler Mauro & Co, and all other druggists.

Our attention was called t. the
contract existing between the Parish
and Alfred Fortier, Jr., covering the
use of teams and men and imple-

has been amended, and the rate of
pay changed, and we find no cause
for criticism of the changing of the
rate of pay. We, however, must
find fault with the Police Jury for
removing the teams and men of the
contractor, from the upper wards of
the Parish where the contractor had
under his supervision more than
sixty (6O) miles of dirt road. We
find that teams and men were held
in the Sixth Ward for Fifteen (15)
weeks, and that during that period
no work was done in the First,
Second, Third and Seventh Wards,
and that the roads there became i'm
passable. While these teams were
engaged for Fifteen (15) weeks in

was devoted to the new road ex-

PUBLIC STATEMENT RELATIVE TO NON COL

article.
This failure to enforce by drastic
means or to exhaust the power!
lodged with each official the pay
ment of every poll tax due is not
peculiar to St. Mary, but exists ir

the unreasonable power and force
that is contained in the UNWRIT-
TEN LAWS OF HUMANITY AND

1t is my belief that the poll tax
is collected in St. Mary from the
white race, 80 per cent of the total
available amount, and from the col
ored race about 5 per cent With
legal compulsion this collection could
be increased and additional Is per

ditional 70 per cent from the color

Legal Compulsion i. Not Applied
Why?
1t cannot be enforced against the
white race and at the same time not
enforced against the colored race.
machinery of collection once started
would apply without racial distinc-
ton.
The UNWRITTEN LAWS OF
HUMANITY AND RACE forbid the
drastic collection of this money from
the cOlored race without giving back
any VALUE RECEIVED WHATSO-
EVER THEREFOR.
The general public does not know,
nor do the individual members of
the Grand Jury know, that not a
single dollar of poll tax money is
spent in the education Of single
colored child in this Parish, nor does
the public or the members of the
Grand Jury realize, until their at
tention is called, that not single
poll tax receipt permits the negro
man to cast his vote.
The State of Louisiana annually
appropriates a definite per capita
sum of money for each educable
child in each Parish. The school
board of this Parish and of most
parishes in this State do not nearly
expend the amount appropriated for
the colored children by the State in

the Federal Shipping Board that
conferences Of shipbuilders would
be called soon to frame voluntary
agreements on the subject.
Labor disputes in Pacific coast

ing out of competition of employers

is understood certain that if ship
builders agree not to bid against RI
val companies for men, steps will be
taken to secure similar agreements
in other industries. <
Although Mr.. Hurley has not de-
cided when or where he will call
the first conference, it is probable
that it will be on the Pacific coast,
where a Seattle shipyard, by agree
ment to 33 per cent wage increase,
has caused moveemnt of the best
workmen to that plant and precipi-
tated many demands for the same
wage scale on companies making
lower profits.
