He had just reached the philisoph-

taurant for bit to eat. Then he
sat staring ahead, quietly thoughtful
in expression. and waited.
1t is admitted he did some waiting,
too. What happened to his order
couldn't be understood outside the
peculiar restaurant kitchen, but he
spent half an hour sitting there star

At last it came. As the waitress put
the order before him he started from

he had an order coming. Then. look

orator had very eloquently described

Representative Frear declined to

had been impressed by the cordial

by the volume of commerce appar-

if he thought this volume OF COM

From Morgan City West
In attending the Corpus Christi
meeting, Lieutenant-Governor Mou-
ton has aroused interest in irriga-
ton in connection with the building
of the sections of the canal west Of
Morgan City. Governor Mouton
said a canal from the Atchafalaya
river to the Teche and thence to
Bayou Vermilion would let the fresh
water of the Atchafalaya into the
rice fields and would furnish much
needed water route Of value to many
people. He said the South Louis
lana Waterways Association had
been organized in Lafayette, and
two engineers had been employed
and three surveys had been com
pleted Plans for the cutting of the
canal would be submitted to Con-
gress with the hope Of arousing the
interest of the federal government
in the scheme.
"Rice is a food Of first import
ance." said Mr.. Meuten. This
country needs all the rice that can be
grown. We believe the need of the
canal can be made so apparent that
we will experience little difficulty
in getting the aid we must have to
make its construction possible"

found himself suspended and jumped to

Of his salary held up during hrs suspen-

never would play baseball again unless

Baker made these demands of Presi-

pouting third baseman TO Donovan, who
told Baker the truth of the matter. The
suspension was lifted. Baker drew his

Gawky Michigan Pitcher Who
Could Fool Ty Cobb Is
Given Chance.

Hughie Jennings, manager of
the Tigers. recently had letter
from a Michigan pitcher who
stated that he could strike out
Ty Cobb three times out of four
trips to the plate. 1t only cost
$3.50 to get a peep at this pitch
er and, working on the old
motto that you never can tell,
Jennings forwarded the one
buck and eight dimes.
The pitcher came, six-foot
four-inch man. He was gawky
and he was all joints and bone.
Cobb was called and he faced
the new marvel. The first pitch
Cobb whacked against the right
field wall. The next was good
for four bags when Ty pasted it,
and the third flew to deep center
and was four-ply shot.
We'll, what have you got to
say?" asked Jennings.
Il don't think that's Cobb"
said the pitcher.
Needless to say, that ended
the pitchers career.

FIRST GLASS ROAD
FROM PENSACOLATO
MOBILE SHORTLY

L. Glendinning, of Robertsdale,
Ala, was in the city yesterday on
business and while here met a large
number of friends. Mr.. Glendenning
is county commissioner of the third
district of Baldwin county, Ala, and
takes much interest in affairs of the
county and the section of the state in
which he resides,
Mr.. Glendinning stated that bids
have been advertised for to rebuild
the road from RObertsdale to Nunez
Ferry, and that bids will be opened
about June IA. Completion of that
road will give first class auto road
from Pensacola to Mobile, through
the heart of Baldwin county. He
said he hoped that Escambia county
will make some needed repairs on the
road from Pensacola to Nunez Ferry.
Speaking of farming conditions, he
says that crops were doing splendid
ly in Baldwin county. Irish pota-
toes have about all been shipped and
brought as high as $50, but had
dropped to $2.7O.
Cucumber shipments have already
started, and four cars were shipped
to Chicago Tuesday. Buyers paid
farmers $1.25 per hamper cash at
the freight station.
Mr.. Glendinning has ordered q
large Huba caterpillar tractor for
road work in his district.

FINE QUESTION OF
LAW COMES OUT IN
ARGUING DEMURRER

In arguing a demurrer brought
forth in the case of Ruby Bates, who
sued the Southern States Lumber
Company for the alleged death of
her husband through the alleged
carelessness of agencies maintained
by the defendant company, some fine
questions of law, which were re
garded as very pertinent to local is
sues, and which comes up from time
to time. The arguments were made
by Judge E. c. Maxwell and John P.
Stokes, the latter representing the
plaintiff in the case.
1t was maintained by the defend
ant that the log road of the de
PENDANT company did not come within
the term railroads." in the gen
orally acceptance of the term, and
the plaintiff attempted to show, and
produced seemingly conclusive au-
thorities to support his contention,
that log roads and other means of
transportation even were all recog-
nized by law as coming within the
general term railroads"
Arguments were made before
Judge c. III. Jones after the docket in
the court of record had been complet-
ed for the day, and the case was
taken under advisement.
Considerable interest IS manifested
in the decision.
