NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-Once

about "the heart of a city that

Hoboken has a heart such as
no other city can boast.
At least Mollie Fuller, Broad

ago, who is blind, thinks that
there is a great big throbbing
heart over there on the Jersey
shore.
Large audiences showed thor

songs, delivered with the dig

In fact, Mollie was a hit.

and Thomas F.. Richards near here

put the finishing touches to the
tragic series of events which have
gripped this community since the
bodies Of the unfortunate men were
taken from Lake La Fourche.
The dove Of peace. representing
at least an armistice between op.
ponents and proponents of the Ku

wings over Morehouse Parish, but

ready to take flight at a moment's 8

enades around Court Square and
often may be seen in mysteriously
quiet conversation with Morehouse
parish over and his title only adds
to the dignity his seventy year,
demand.
But no one is any longer con
nected with the Klan. Many who
were known as members a few
weeks ago now speak Of the organ
ization in vague terms as their
eyes are fixed on every open move
Of Department of Justice and State
officials. They would gladly elm
inate the word "klan" from their
vocabularies for the present, al
least.
Col. Lewis r. Guerre, who has
been in charge Of the troops here

ment, left yesterday afternoon for
New Orleans, where he will remain
until over Monday making out his
annual report. Lieut.. Col. r. A
Young is here to relieve him. Maj
Roland B. Howell, Judge advocate
general, legal adviser Of the troops
came with Colonel Young.
Before his departure Colone
Guerre scoffed at the idea Of i'm
mediate martial law in the parish
and said there was no likelihood OF
such action unless conditions grow
much more serious.
