Cadeus has called upon Voodoo for them
and they get well and do not pay, he takes
away their cattle and whatever they have
on their little farms. That is why Cadeus
is possessed of so much live stock and
why he is so rich.
Cadeus never paid any one for working
on his farm. Whenever he needed peo-
pie to tend his live stock or gather his
crops or plant them he always went or
sent me or one of the other wives around
among the neighbors and told them he
wanted so many men and women right
away. If all the strong young men and
women did not come at once to work for
him he would start the drums rolling and
then when the people had come he would
point out those who had refused to work
for him and tell the rest to kill them.
And the others had to kill these, because
they felt that il they did not Cadeus

Cadeus had the priests house burned
down because q priest from Mirebalais

The priest, when he heard this cut the

not a saint. That night Cadeus and some
OF his friends went to Saut' d'Eau and
burned down the priests house.

No, II will be no use because no one

whether or not her real husband and his

CONGRESS EXTENDS.

TWO YEARS MORE.
Harding Signs 1t and Threat
ened Tenants Are Saved
From Eviction.

WASHINGTON, May 23.--President
Harding last night signed the act ex-
tending the District of Columbia rent
law two years. The House. after six
hours of fiihustering led by Represen-
tative Blanton, Democrat, of Texas,
and Representative Milspaugh, Re-
publican Of Missouri, passed the bill
with amendments which were accepted
by the Senate.
Some opposition was made by Sem
Htors Overman and PoindeXter, but at
8 o'clock tho slight Senate flibuster
gave way and the legislative action
was completed y
President Harding was waiting in
the executive offices for the bill and
signed IL lnm 'diately upon its receipt.
Many obstacles to prompt action had
been Set up in tho House. Speaker
Gillett last week refused to entertain
? motion to suspend the rules and was
absent Yesterday. His absence made it
necessary fof the House to pass A
resolution authorizing the acting
speaker to sig. the bill
Representative Blanton conducted an
all-dav filibuster against the bill and
forced the House time and time again
TO go through the routine Of rising
vote. About fifty of these votes were
demanded by Blanton, tho result gen
orally being 102 or 1o3 to 3 with Blan-
ton. Mlllsrsugh, Sproul of Illinois. Ee-
rublicafl, and Gilbert of Kentucky,
Democrat, constituting the four.
Once or twice Blanton gained the
moor in order TO speak against the bill.
He said IT wa unfair for Congress to
control the rights of property owner.
and that in the majority of cases II
was not the landlords who profateered,
but the sub lessons.
Landlords had expected that the fill
buster would be SO strong ;ts to pre-
vent the bill from becoming law to-
day, and they were prepared to eject
thousands of persons who would be
without the protection of the rent law.
