FEDERAL SUFFRAGE
KILLED in LOUISIANA

Baton Rouge, La.-Federal suffrage
Is finally dead in Louisiana. By vote
of 81 to A the house Tuesday rejected
the Shattuck resolution to ratify the
Anthony amendment and shortly af-
ter, following a spirited debate led by
Representative Ferd C. Claiborne. the
house went on record as opposed to
federal suffrage In any form by vote
of go to 80.
In order to prevent any move to
resurrect federal suffrage in the
house, the "clincher" was applied to
the vote that killed the Shattuck bill.
This ends the federal struggle in the
Louisiana legislature.
In the senat final vote is yet to
be taken on the states rights amend
ment of L. L, Upton, which has al
ready passed the house, SO to II. A
number of ratificationists have indi-
Gated that In the event of final defeat
of the federal amendment they would
support suffrage in state form. It is
believed the states Fighters will get
% votes, sufficient to put it over.

JACKSON HIGHWAY
AGAIN IN LIMELIGHT
SPECIAL SESSION CALLED TO IN.
VEsTloATE ACTION OF ROAD
SUPERVISORS.
DONATION FROM THE STATE
Opinion Is That Parish Jury Acted
Upon Erroneous Presumption in
Attempting To Set Aside the
Sum of 100000.

Jonesboro, La. - The grand jury
called in special session here primar-
lily for investigating the action of the
board of supervisors Of road construc-
ton for Jackson parish, filed its final
report, returning four true bills in
other matters and oommendign the
members of the board Of supervisors
for the honest, practical and econom-
zeal manner they have handled the
road construction.
The report says in part:
I'VE fnd thot in a few instances OK
cGssiVe prices have been paid for
right Of way, and that even wire fenc'
ing has been purchased and used to
enclose property belonging to private
persons. While we are not in position
to say that in no instance should the
board Of supervisors pay for right OF
way, but we do not believe that 1t
should In any case 90 on record as
purchasing the material and building
fences. We appeal to all public spir'
tied citizens to make every reasonable
sacrifice to the end that the money
now on hand may be used In building
and constructing roads throughous the
parish with as little loss to or extor-
ton on the road funds as reasonably
possible.
I'VE are assured by those In charge
Of the road building that they have
received the promise Of the State
Highway Department that, if the pres
emit plans to construct an east ad west
and a north and south road through
the parish are carried out, we can
secure a donation from the state and
federal government of about 100000
on the east and west road and about
$4,000 on the north and south road.
This board Of supervisors assures US
that the ordinary roads throughout
the parish are now being worked as
rapidly as possible and that by late
fall they expect to have every road In
the parish worked in good shape, all
at an expenditure Of not over seven
or eight thousand dollars. Our inves'
tigation convinces us that it is prob
able that the board of supervisors can
do this, for we find that many miles
of road have already been worked by
them throughout the parish.
st is our opinion that the jury OF
Our parish acted upon an erroneous
presumption OF statemet nf facts in
attempting to set aside the sum OF
100000 for the purpose of working
the roads generally throughout the
parish. If this should be done it would
probably result in neither the north OF
south roads being completed and the
people never deriving the benefit foI
the S242, 1858 which has been spent
at the present time.

WATER POWER BILL
HAS BEEN SIGNED
Opens Up Vast Resources
Measure Had Been Ten
Years Pending.

Washington.-The water power de-
velopment bill, ten years in the max
ing, passed by congress just before
adjournment, has been signed by
President Wilson, it was announced
Friday.
Accompanying the announcement
was a statement that the president mad
acted after being advised by the attor'
ney general that adjournment of con-
gress had not deprived him of the ten
days allowed by the constitution for
the consideration of measure.
The new law releases power for al
most unlimited industrial development
In this country and is considered one
of the most important laws enacted
during the Sixthy.sixth session.
BY its terms a commission, COM
posed of the secretary Of war, secre-
tary of agriculture and secretary OF
the interior, is authorized to lease wa
ter power rights on all public lands,
or reservations, Indian reservations
and on navigable streams for terms
not exceeding fifty years. At the end
of the lease period the government has
the option of taking over the plants
that have been built at an appraised
valuation, or releasing or OF leasing to
some other concern.
Inquiries received by the depart
ment of the interior indicate there will
be an immediate rush of capitalists to
obtain leases. The water power COM
mission Is authorized to specify the
royalties on the leases that will be
charged.
The effect of the law is expected to
be particularly noticeable in the West,
where undeveloped water power sites
are plentiful.
1t is estimated that the potential
horse power available on the sites
under government control is $4,000
900, which is more than the total of
100000 horse power now in opera.
ton in all water, steam and gas-op-
Grated plants in the country. Most of
the 100000 horse power is east of
the Mississippi River and north of
Kentucky and West Virginia. The po-
tential 100000 additional horse
power is mostly west Of the Dakotas,
Nebraska and Kansas.
1t is expected factories will start in
various Western points, calling opera
tives from the overcrowded Eastern
cities. An early result, 1t is predict
ed, will be the identification of rail-
roads, conserving coal and oil, which
are becoming scarce and costly.
The final approval of the water
power bill marks the end of years of
agitation. Persons favoring conserva-
ton of government resources have in
sisted upon extreme care to protect
federal rights. The bill as passed was
drawn by government attorneys, who
believe necessary protection is given,
at the same time permitting industrial
progress to be made

DIDN'T WAIT TO Be ASKED
EIsie's Little Scheme to Test Sweet
hearts Fidelity Could Hardly Be
Called Success.

Elsie, about to be married, decided
at the last moment to test her sweet
heart; so, going to her friend, Maude,
the prettiest girl she knew, she said
to her, although she knew it was a
great risk:
'TlI arrange for Fred to take you
out tonight--a walk On the beach in
the moonlight, supper, and all tina
sort of thing-and I want you, In or
der to put his fidelity to the proof, to
ask him for kiss"
Maude laughed, blushed, and as
scented. The plot was carried out.
The next day Elsie visited her friend,
and said, anxiously:
well, Maude, did you ask him?"
mo, Elsie, DEAR"
mo! Why not?"
Il didn't get chance; he asked me
first"

Aircraft Prediction by Kenly

William L. Kenly, former briga-
der general and chief of the air
service and now a private citizen,
makes great predictions regarding the
future of cir travel. He looks for
ward to the time when the aerial ex-
press will be as much q part Of life
as the automobile is now. The ,.erial
express Of the future, he says, will
be a rigid lighter-than-air machine.
The gas used will be non-inflammable
helium. The novelty he sees is that
motors and passengers will be en-
closed in the bag itself. This, he says,
will eliminate much resistance and
make possible a speed of $50 miles
an hour with entire safety and com-
fort.
This, of course, is an advance up-
on the latest thing In the heavier-than-
air machine. R-S0, just being finished
at Barrow, England, probably embo-
dies the latest improvements in air
ships Of this kind. It is stated that
it will be able to fly across the Atlant
length and 70 feet wide. Its lifting DO
