Sometime during the mid
night hours Of Monday, the large
clothing store Of Mr.. Jake We'll
was entered and burglarized Of
about two hundred dollars worth
of his best haberdashery. En-
trance was effected by breaking
out a portion Of the transom fac
ing Church Alley, and an exit
made from the back door after
the two thieves had taken about
as much Of the best goods as they
needed. Evidently there must
have been two people concerned
in the burglary for the reason
that they first extracted from the
shelves two Of his best valises.
Securing these two necessary arti-
cles they proceeded to take two
pair of his choice shoes, two
pair of socks. two suits Of cloth
ing, two silk ties, two silk top
shirts and underclothes to match.
From the cash register they took
in currency and silver the sum of
1890 which had been placed
there for safe keeping by a clerk
in the establishment and then
made their escape. So far no ar
rests have been made. Mr.. We'll
has strong suspicious from what
we are informed as to the guilty
parties. The manner in which
the thieves worked and made
their selections while in the build.
ing. taking the best Of every
thing naturally leads one to be-
lieve they were quite familiar
with the store. No doubt a sur.
~ey was made Of the location Of
the stock while the house was
open for business. Jake is minus
the goods anyway. and will leave
no stone unturned until he runs
down the guilty, ones.

On Thursday another confer
ence was held in New Iberia be-
tween a few of the leading citizens
Of Jeanerette and some business
men here to discuss ways and
means Of taking over the Trolley
line operating between the two
cities and which last Saturday was
knocked dowxto Mr.. Alphonse
Davis, agent. FOR the sum of $751;
600 dollars. From what we have
been able to ascertain a majority
of the committee are of the opln.
that it would be more feasible to
operate a motor line instead of the
Trolley, and in that event if the
rails could be purchased at a
reasonable figure plans might be
shaped to justify the organiza-
tion of a stock company with this
object in view. OF course all of
this is predicated upon the tax
payers Of the two communities
leyying upon themselves a tax
sufficient to take-ca of the street
paving in New Iberia and Jeans-
rette. We feel certain the prop
erty holders Of New Iberia ap-
preciate what a loss it would be
to have the road discontinued,
and therefore if a company is or.
ganized and service given on the
hour schedule as formerly, small
tax would readily carry in New
iberia. The same condition pre-
walls amongst the wide-awake cit
liens of Jeanerette. There are
but few who do not realize the
great Importance of organizing
a company to operate the line and
! motor system would be operated
! at less than fifty per cent what it
would take to run electric cars.
As stated before the people liv-
ing along the line Of the Frisco
are hopeful also of getting rights
to use the Frisco tracks fQn an
hour service. and in that case our
people can readily realize what a
great convenience it would be ia
all of the people between here

After-The-War Problems
Affect Telephone Service,

The reconstruction problems which confront all
. telephone companies and which seriously affect
your telephone service are not confined solely to
the operating features of the business.
The dlfhculty we are experiencing in building
up an enlarged operating force to handle the in.
creased traffic load is equally serious among our
male employees, particularly in the plant organic
zation.
More than $50 of our most skilled, trained
technical men volunteered for service in the armv
and the majority of them are still in Europe. Vev
few have returned, and we cannot expect the bal
ance to return soon. Few men of this tvpe have
been available and those we are training bv no
means equal our demand. This shortage of expe-
rienced men hampers our extensions and DELAYS
installations.
Certain features Of our work can be done onlv
by experienced, technical men and often when we
had equipment on hand we could not secure suf-
.flclent labor to install it promptly This has been
true m tho simple matter Of installing and moving
telephone stations
The delays and Inconvenience have proved an
noylng to our subscribers and have been reflected
in our service. We are striving in every way
known to our experience to overcome and pre-
vent thom
Although the stress of actual warfare is over.
the problems OF reconstruction cause the situation
confronting our service to be more serious than
when fighting was in progress We deem it our
duty to make this frank statement so you will UNI
derstand why our service has not returned to its
standard Of prs-war efficiency
We are operating the telephone system as
agents for the federal government under the SUI
pervision Of the Postmaster General, and our loyal
organization !. making patriotic effort to perfect
the service. Your continued cooperation and en-
courasoment will be appreciated.

DOWNWARD PLUNGE
 IN CORN PRICES
Drp Due to Word That Gov ernment to Take Action
 Against HOarders
By ksteelatss Prnss

Chicago; March 13-Corn plunged heav- fly downward in price today owing in the main to word that the govern. ment proposed to take stern action against any attempt to hoard foodstuffs- The market closed weak. cents to A. cents net lower with May s1 sSl. to s1 sei4 and July s1.31ls to H.M1.. Oats lost 114c to 21Sc and provisions soc to q.
 Waves of selling in the corn market clearly indicated that the sentiment or the trade had undergone almost com rlete reversal over night. From the out set, attention from every quarter focused on the prospect of rigorous federal measures said to be in store for indi- yiduals who took undue advantage of the recent letting down of bars by tho food administration. The fact that the railroads had again embargoed freight shipments to New York and an acute stage had once more been reached in the harbor strike there counted also as a depressing influence. Additional pur- chasing of Argentine corn to come to the United States tended likewise to de- prive the market of support except from profit-taking shorts.
 Oats broke in sympathy with corn.
 Maximum declines took place in provi- sons.
 Packers were said to be on the selling side and there was mention of difficulty in obtaining vessel room for exports.

NERVOUSNESS IN
 COTTON MARKET Much Irregularity Develops During Yesterdays
 Trading
ey Associated Press

New York, March l3.--The cotton market was nervous and irregular dur ing today's trading. The narrowing of the interest in the near months rem dered them very sensitive to small or ders and one of the days features was the violent fluctuations in March. Ear ly advances in the later deliveries en- countered heavy realizing which caused reactions of S5 to 65 points with new style May contracts selling off from 24.65c to 24.00c, and closing nat 24.30c. The closing tone was barely steady with last prices net unchanged to % points higher on the new amid net un- changed to 95 points higher on the old style months.
 O-March was very strong al the start, selling up to 2S.25c, or 200 points above last nights closing price. The advance was checked at this level by the maxi mum fluctuation ruling. and later the price broke to 26.25c, on a very small volume of business. closing at 26.70c. Other old style months opened 2S points to 20 points lower with new style months to 30 points higher. The strength of the near month at the start, the reiteration of optimistic views or prospects for an early consummation of peace and favorable goods trade re- ports, gave the market a firm tone right after the call with the new style Oc- tober selling up to 22.40c and with new style deliveries generally showing an advance of 2S5 to S75 points from the low level of last Thursday. There WAS increased southern selling and heavy realizing around these figures under which the market weakened dur ing the day with new style October selling off to 21.S5c,. or about 55 points from the best. There was a renewal of We'll street buying on the decline. The selling during the middle of the day was accompanied by reports that the spot basis had eased because of the rapid advance in futures and that of ferings were more liberal Otherwise local brokers said there appeared to be little or no change in the character of the news

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, March 13.-Sharp ad- vances were made by cotton in the early trading today but in the afternoon the market felt much liquidation and prac- tically all of the advance was lost.
 The close was steady at a net rise on the old contract months of 3 to 21 points. and a net rise on the new con- tracts of to points.
 The opening was at higher levels and the improvement persisted until it amounted to 50 to 50 points on the old contracts and to 41 to 58 points on the new. A bullsh construction placed on peace conference reports. the continued advance and greater activity in cloth markets and the threat of more rain and snow for the western half of the belt were the main bullish influences. The downward reaction carried the easiest months , to 25 points under yesterday's close. both contracts con sidered.
 Old March was forced by short GOV Arinx to 27.21c. which was 52 points aver yesterdays close, and ? points over the board quotation for spot middling, the first time in many months that any future month has gone to a premium over spots. In the afternoon spots were quoted 25 points higher, which sent middling to 2750c
 The first transaction was made in new March which sold at PIC, the buy CT announcing that cotton would be taken LID on the contract. If this is done it will be the first tender under the new futures act.
