GOLF COURSE TO BE ORGANIZED
AT PECANO.

On Wednesday evening, Novem-
Der 9th, pursuant to invitation pub
lished in the Gazette, q number OF
our people, from different sections
Of the parish, gathered at "Pecano,"
the home Of Mr.. and MTs. Dwight
Stone, to discuss the ways and means
to be employed in organizing . Golf
and Country Club at that place.
Mr.. Stone had already marked-off
a nine hole course and it was the
sense of those present that the
stretch Of ground selected was ideal
for the purpose. It is well seeded
with Bermuda grass and 10 just roll
ing enough to fill the bin.
Gentlemen who have played on
both the Natchez and Vicksburg
Links say that, even in it, present
condition, it is a better course than
either.
It is the desire Of those promoting
the project that the membership
charge shall be As low - possible,
and to this end committees were
appointed to canvass the community
At large in order to find out how
many members could be secured.
In addition to the Golf Links it
is planned to erect q club house and
to have tennis and other forms OF
outdoor amusements.
The club will be within three
miles of Tensas River. one Of the
! finest fishing places in the south, and
will be located on the gravel rosd.
It is not planned to efust the club
house on an elaborate scale but
merely to erect q building common
surate with immediate needs.
The clubs, balls and other equip
ment necessary can be bought in the
closed season for not over fifteen
dollars, 30 it will not work . hard
! ship on any one wanting to join the
club. It is popularity believed that
golf is a rich mans game, but thia
is q mistake.
It is planned to have another
meeting about December 1st, to Per
feet organization. In the meantime
Mr.. Stone extends to any one inter
estcd in the game an invitation "a
visit "Pecano" and play on the links

Rainbow Division Veterans
Condemn Employment of
Unnecessary Officials:
(By tho Associates Press)

CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 16.-The
Rainbow division veterans association
failed to endorse an immediate cash
bonus for former soldiers at the clos
ing session of their annual convention
here today. They passed a resolution,
however, recommending early collec-
tion Of the accrued interest on the
allied war debts to the United States,
and the use of the money to pay the
adjusted compensation for former sol
diers.
The resolution pointed out that the
allied debt to the United States
amounts to ten billion dollars and that
one and a half billion dollars are now
due as accrued interest.
The bonus resolution reported out of
committee after two days discussion,
took into consideration the fact that
treasury officials stated it would be
impossible to pay a bonus without dis
rupting the financial organization of
the governments
1t condemned the waste of millions
OF dollars each year in the employ
ment of vast army of unnecessary
public officers, and agents and indulg-
ence in other forms of national ex-
travagance by the federal govern
ment'
The latter clause was said to be
intended as condemnation of the
amount of money being spent in the
enforcement of the Volstead act.
A resolution was adopting demand
ing adequate and efficient care for
disabled service men.
Colonel George r. Leach. former
commanding officer of the 151st field
artillery, now mayor of Minneapolis,

year.

Element between the war department
and the British ministry of shipping
of all claims Of either party against

Secretary Mellon asked Mr.. Dough-

act of March 8, 1875, which requires
the secretary to withhold payment OF
any judgment against the United
States where the claimant is indebted
to this country in any manner, applied
to such claim.
Mr.. Daughterty held the act did not

courts and obtain judgment but adj
just such matters through diplomatic
channels.

FOR MRS. ABER
Found Guilty of First Degree
Murder for Plotting AS

CLEVELAND, July 16.-Through
mercy recommended by jury of men,
Mrs. Eva Catherine Kaber today es-
capped the electric chair though found
guilty of first degree murder for plot
ting the assassination of her husband,
Daniel E. Kaber.
1t was the hope that mercy would
be extended by those of the opposite
sex which induced her counsel to ex-
cllide women jurors on the ground that
CHESS than men
Attempt was made to invalidate
panels of tentative jurors because
there were women on them, and when
women were tentatively seated on the
jury, they were dismissed by the de-
tense on peremptory challenge
AS result of the recommendation
for mercy, Mrs. Kaber was sentenced
to life Imprisonment in the Ohio Re
formatory for Women at MarysvilIe by
Judge Maurice Bernon. Had the jury
not recommended mercy the court
would have been compelled to SEN
tence Mrs. Kaber to die in the electric
chair.
Because of her physical condition
she will not be taken to prison for ten
days or more it was said, in order
to permit her to regain her strength.
The Jail physician said he thought Mrs.
Kaber's condition is due to over strain
during the trial.

said they were well pleased with the
verdict. 1T is a just verdict" Attor-
ney William j. Corrigan, Mrs. Kaber's
counsel told members of the jury as

had repeatedly. told newspaper men
that his only hope was a recommenda-
ton for mercy. THE verdict is a just
one" state attorneys also told the jury.
Defense counsel announced there
will be no appeal.
