Gated to st. Agnes, was erected and

REVENUE MEN BURN STILL.
White Mule Outfit Destroyed in Okla.
 homa, West of Cove.

A few days ago a party of internal revenue officials raided an alleged wildcat still in the woods west of Cove and just across the line in Okla homa. From the amount of supplies on hand it is evident the makers of white mule were figuring on an all- summer run. The still was located in a remote spot and was located only after a most thoro search in which Polk county officials assisted. Includ- ed in the confscated property were cooking tents, sleeping tents, etc. with supplies. The still was not of the regulation copper coil kind, but consisted of large-size oil barrel which had been transformed into a steam boiler. It was connected by pipes with mash barrels in such a way as to cook the mash by steam. Ex- perts say this method produces very superior variety of white mule. There was meal and other ingredients, be- sides half ton of sugar in stock.
 The revenue men, under department instructions, piled the whole outfit, including tents, camp equipment. raw materials and supplies, in white mule funeral pyre, and applied the match.

V|CTORS OF WORLD.
 WAR IN PARADE
March Under Arc de Tri- umphe, Thru Which Only yictors May Pass-Place of Honor to the
 Halt and Blind.

Paris. July 14.--The conquerors in the great war marched today in vic- tory parade under the Arc de Tri- omphe. thru which only victors may pass. Picked units and individual he- roes represented each of the allied armies.
 Several million grateful persons. mostly French, but with many thou sands of their allies, struggled for ward along the line of march for an opportunity to wave and shout their gratitude to the men who saved them from German imperialism.
 The great triumphal arch, conceived by Napoleon to commemorate his vic- tory at the battle of Austerlitz, took on new historical importance when the allies marched rthu the massive pile of masonry which dominates all Paris, and moved down the Champs Elysees, toward the Place De La Coneorde.
 The place of honor in the process sion was not accorded to the generals and smartly equipped troops. It was given to a thousand soldiers who passed under the arch and in front of the reviewing stand where stood Pres ident Poincare, moving haltingly, and out of step, as best they could. Many were injured, some were blind, some were in wheel chairs, and others were on crutches or limped along with the aid of canes. Few of them were in uniform. They represented all the provinces of France, as was indicated by the variety of their civilian attire They made no effort to maintain mili- tary formation, but marched as well as they could to the airs played by the military band which led them
 Great crowds filled every inch of space in the many streets. and boule- wards that commanded a view of the line of march. Balconies were packed and roofs were black with people. Many hung in the trees which line the boulevards.

TROOPS CALLED ID
 END RACE RIOT
Whites and Negroes Clash in Long view, Tex. and Governor Hobby Sends National Guard-Much
 Shooting, No Casualties.

Longview, Tex, July 11-Nearly 200 members of the Texas National Guard from Dallas and Nacogdoches ordered here today by Governor w. P, Hobby to prevent further clashes be- tween whites and negroes, were ar irving tonight by train and automo- bile.
 The situation remains quiet after clash early today in which four white men were wounded when a small party of whites were fired upon by negroes, estimated to have num- bered about 75. Reports that one negro had been killed by shots return ed by the whites could not be con- firmed and as far as known none of the negroes were wounded
 City and county officials exprest the belief tonight that there would be no further trouble, but said the presence of state soldiers would serve as a pre- eautionary measure. Additional troops are held in readiness at Terrell. Tex as rangers are expected to relieve the soldiers tomorrow
 The trouble today occurred when twelve or fifteen white men were way laid and fired upon in the negro sec tion of Longview, where they had gone in search of F. L. Jones, a school teacher, accused of causing the pub lication of statements derogatory to young woman of this county in a negro newspaper published in Chica- go, The whites returned the fire of the negroes, who were hidden in van tage points, and withdrew when their ammunition was exhausted, four of their number having suffered wounds.
 A general alarm was sounded and the whites, with reinforcements, soon arrived at the scene to find that the negroes had dispersed. Five of the principal negro residences were then burned by the whites. Local officials unable to cope with the situation at this time, called upon the governor for aid.
 The excitement soon passed, how ever, and since the situation has con tinued quiet. Search for two alleged negro ring-leaders continued tonight.

MILD BEER MEETS
 ITS WATERLOO
Prohibition Forces Took Full Control of House and Defeated Amendment Providing for 2A per Cent. Brew
 Much Disorder.

Washington, July l4.-Prohibition forces took full control of the house today, refused to permit vote on a straight-out motion to repeal the war time act, defeated overwhelmingly an amendment providing for the sale of two and three quarters per cent beer, and stood solidly against all attacks on the general enforcement measure.
 Just as fast as one Liberal" amend ment was offered by opponents of pro- hibition, it was voted down without ceremony, always by triple vote, with the minority fighting every inch of ground. Before the house got thru with the first section of the first part of the three-part bill there was more disorder on the floor than at any time this season.
 The disturbance arose first during an attempt by Representative Blan- ton, Democrat, of Texas, to speak a second time against an amendment which would have given jury the right to define intoxicants, and was in- creased during an address by Repre- sentative Gall:vaH, Democrat, Massa- chursetts, who declared members vot- ing dry should print in the congress sional record exactly how much liq- uor they had stored in their homes and offices.
 The real battle of the day, however, was over the amendment to define an intoxicant as beverage containing two and three quarters per cent alco- hol, instead of more than one-half of one per cent, as written in the bill
 Representative Dyer, Republican, of Missouri, author of the amendment, did not ask for this definition in the con stitutional amendment, but simply in the war time law. In pleading for it's adoption, Mir. Dyer declared it was what President Wilson had recom- mended to congress and would permit, during the remaining period of war time prohibition, the sales of light wines and beer, and might delay is suanee of proclamation by the pres ident which would restore the sale of hard" liquors.
 There was round of speech mak- ing on this motion, an hour of it, with the s'drys" assailing it as an entering wedge, and the 'wets" declaring it merely would permit the very thing the president, as commander-in-ch of the army, had said best for the country for the next six months
 After two and three quarters per cent beer had been bowled over by a record vote of 151 to 90-and this was about the relative division on all amendments the prohibitionists went after another amendment by Repre- sentative Igoe, Democrat, of Missouri, which would have stricken out all deh- milton or intox:cants, killing it 12S to S3.
 There was the utmost confusion at times, despite vigorous whacks with gavel, and some of the prohibition leaders applauded every move in their favor. The galleries, filled largely with women and officers of anti-liquor organizations, broke into applause when the house roared it's disapproval of two and three quarters per cent beer

FORMER KAISER
 REPORTED INSANE
Persistent Wood Cutting Believed to Indicate Mental Trouble, Tho the Ex-Ruler Is Physically in
 Good Health.

Washington, July 10.-The nasty action by friends and relatives of the former kaiser in asking that they be permitted to stand trial in his stead has given rise to gossip in diplomatic circles here that William of Hohen- zollern may be mentally unbalanced.
 Thus far, Von Bethmann- Hollweg, former imperial chancellor; General von Hindenburg, and five sons of the former monarch have come forward with the request that they, rather than the ex-emperor, be put on trial.
 Tho the one-time ruler of Germany and his wife are reported to be in fine health at Amerongen castle, Holland where he is preparing to saw his six thousandth log, it is believed in cer- tain diplomatic quarters that persist ent wood-cutting shows he has mental trouble.
 His arraignmeht at this time, it is pointed out, would cause tremendous shock to the German people were they to discover that his mind has been af- fected by his misfortunes. It would be only natural, it was said, for off eials partial to the old regime to spare the country this discovery if possible. This would account for the offer of Won Bethmann-Hollweg and Von Hin- denburg.
 If William H. is suffering from mental trouble he will not be the first Hohenzollern who gave signs of an unbalanced mentality. Frederick William l. was notorious in his time for acts which were conceived in a diseased mind.

WAR DEPARTMENT
 HELD BACK REPORT
With $121 100000 Surplus Food and Country Suffering Exorbitant Prices Statement Was Delayed From
 February to May.

Washington, July 11.-General March, chief of staff of the army, told a house subcommittee on war expens- es today that the war departments declaration of surplus food stocks could have been made in February in- stead of May and that on July the de- elared surplus of foodstuffs amounted to $121 100000.
 Chairman Reavis, in questioning the general contended that delay in de- claring the surplus had resulted in great loss to the government and had deprived the public of foods for which there was great demand.
 In a statement filed by General March, the surplus of foodstuffs was given as follows:
 Corn beef, $24,000,000; bacon $23,- 0O0,000; fresh frozen beef and poul- try $20,000,000; corn beef hash $10,- 100000; canned vegetables $23,000,- 900.
 Chairman Reavis wanted to know who was responsible for delay in de- claring the surplus, without which vast stocks could not be put on the market
 General, you realize the distress caused by the high cost of living ?" the chairman asked, land do you think it necessary or good business to hold meats for the time the department held them without saying surplus existed, which would mean turning them loose for the domestic trade? 2"
 It was a fair criticism, General March replied, that the subsistence branch of the quartermaster corps had been over careful, adding that in his opinion a surplus report could have been prepared safely in February. The attitude of Secretary Baker, he said, had been to keep the market from be- ing flooded with great quantity of products all at once.
 "There never was an intimation on the secretary's part" General March said, Ito sell these foods for export rather than for domestic use"

Chicago, July 14.-Jack Dempsey, who became the heavy weight cham pion. pugilist by beating Jess Willard at Toledo, July 1, left for Los Ange- les last night, after spending day in Chicago and announcing that this city would be his headquarters after the Western trip. His manager, Jack Kearns. occupied virtually all day talking with promoters and agents of theatrical and circus concerns, anxious to have Dempsey sign contracts for exhibitions.
 But Dempsey said theatrical work was tiresome, and were the induce ments just as great and as frequent. he would much prefer to fight As to meeting Georges Carpenter, the French champion, or Joe. Beckett of England, Dempsey said
 ''i am the champion and l am an American. If any of these foreigners want a crack at the title they will have to come to America

WILSON SURVEYS HIS TASK.
And There Are Rumors of a Compro-
 mise on League Covenant.

Washington, July 9.-Resuming the discharge of his duties in Washing ton after his absence of months abroad, President Wilson surveyed the task he has set himself to procure ratification of the League of Nations Covenant, the Peace Treaty and the Partite Alliance without amend ment or reservation.
 Mir. Wilson does not minimize the proportions of the undertaking, his decision to take the stump being founded upon his realization that the American people are not a unit in favor of the peace paets he has nego- tiated unless materially modified to insure protection of American rights and interests.
 The President also is aware that not only is a majority of the Senate committed to reservations exempting the United States from various pro- visions of the covenant, but thirty eight senators are pledged to vote for the rejection of the covenant unless such reservations are included in the resolution of ratification.
 Unless Mir. Wilson, by building back fires in Western constituent cies, can reduce this last ditch oppo- sition to thirty-two senators or less, he will be unable to muster the requi- site two-thirds majority for ratifea- tion. and will be compelled to make terms with the reservationists or per nit the rejection of the covenant.
 Predictions are rife that the Presi- dent soon will capitulate to the hard necessity of agreeing to the incor- poration of reservations designed to safeguard vital American interests, but from the White House today there emanated naught but rumblings of the executive plans for a pitched battle with the opposition senators.
