It was a great disappointment

It was a great disappointment
to the large crowd of interested
spectators who assembled early,
after waiting one hour and ten
minutes after the appointed hour,

posters, that the majority had to
leave before they could see one
half of the May Festival on the
Normal Campus. But the pail of
night hung low and home duties
and other engagements, principal
ly the High School entertainment
pressed and forced them to leave
reluctantly as the program as
announced in these columns last
week, was most attractive and the
campus never looked more beautl-
full than it did on this occasion.

Delinquent Tax Payers Given
Respite

Generally at this season each
year, the tax sales are published
in these columns, but for many
aood reasons, the delinquents are
being given another opportunity
to pay their taxes by postponing
the annual time for expiration of
sale 60 days. as will be seen 5y
the following:
Whereas, on account of business de-
preston, low prices of farm produce,
high water, and other unforeseen and
unavoidable reasons, many taxpayers,
especially taxpayers who own small
farms in this State are unable to pay
taxes for the year 1921 at this time and
whose propety will be advertised and
sold for said taxes unless delays for
the payment thereof is granted,
Whereas, to enforce collection OF
taxes as provided by law would entail
great damage and loss to these tax
payers;
:. Therefore be it Resolved by the
.Senats, the House of Representatives
concurring, that it is the sense of the
LEGISLATURE of Louisiana that the ad-
vertisement of the delinquent tax lisss
h by the various sheritfs and ex-of6cio
tax collectors in the several parishes
Of this State should be deferred for1a
period of sixty days, and that the raid
sheriffs and ex-officio tax collectors
throughout the state are hereby d.
rected to suspend advertisement of
property for sale for the non-payment
Of taxes for the year 1921 in this State
until the thirtieth of June 1922, after
which date they shall proceed to ad-
vsrtise the property for all taxes re-
naming unpaid as now provided by law.

and walked. while few fortunate ones
were in wagons.
About three weeks ago citizens Of
Cloutierville, and the Chamber Of
Commerce petitioned the Louisiana
State Relief Committee for assistance
for the victims of the backwater Of
Red River in Natchitoches Parish. As
Z result the State Committee sent Miss

worker, to assist Mr.. w. H. Airey,
chairman of the local parish relief
committee. in the registration of ap-
pfeants and the distribution of food.

Beekman and Detective Totten in re-
gard to the startlirk affidavit made by
Mrs. Nellie L. Russell, negress, who
swears that she was with Mrs. Jane
Gibson during the time in which the
latter says she witnessed the murder
of the Rev. Edward w. Hall and Mrs.
Eleanor R. Mills.
Mott would not comment on the
story of Mrs. Russell, who lives in a
shanty back of the Gibson farm. A
copy of the woman's affidavit was Civ
en- to him yesterday by Timothy Pfeif-
fer, attorney for Mrs. Hall.

The affidavit by the negro woman
says that on the night of Sept. IA she
and Mrs. Gibson wer together between
10 and IL p. m. Mrs. Gibson stated
that she witnessed the double murder
at about 1920 p. m.
One official declared that if Mrs
Russells statement were true the
states case against "The woman in
gray and "the man with the bushy
hair would be completely broken up
The negress sent her story to Mrs
Hall and explained her delay in com

NEUTRAL CONTROL OF DARDANELLE STRAITS

of the enormous expense that would
be involved. 1t is estimated that to
neutralize the straits would require
a permanent army of 100000.
Amplifying his plan for league con-
troll, Lord Robert continued:
ANY international supervision Of
the straits is sure to be found imprac-
ticable. The League of Nations will
have to do it without armed forces.
The league is doing well at Danzig,
even where it has a given territory
to survey, and it will not need at the
straits any special neutral zone.
I'm order to deal with the situation,
we are obliged to cast our pre-war
conceptions overheard. 1t is curious,
but most people who discuss the
straits still think in terms of eight
years ago. Although freedom of the
straits has ceased to be important in
the old sense, they will still prove tc
be burden to the Turks, and if We
help to neutralize them, it will be g
! financial advantage to Turkey"

Couple Is Asphyxiated
At Connersuille Home

CONNERSVILLE, Ind, Nov. 10
Electric lights burning continuously
from Tuesday night to Saturday night
led neighbors to discover the bodies
of Ora Mann, 25 years old, and his
wife, Laura, % years old, lying on a
bed in their home. The couple had
been asphyxiated. A small gas heater
in the bath room was lighted and
fumes filled the house. A bruise on
Mann's back indicated he had strug-
gled to arise and fell back dazedly
against the bed Officers investigat-
ing the case advanced the theory the
couple had lighted the heater and gone
to the bedroom adjoining the bath
and had been overcome while sleep
ing waiting for the place to become
warm. Mann, an employee of the Trac-
ton Train company, came to Corners
vile from Hagerstown and Mrs. Mann
was Laura Bratton Of Cambridge City,
before her marriage.
