that the said officers. John Connor,
and D. E. Cole while acting in their
official capacity and in defense Of
their life," killed the men "and we ac-
cordingly find that the killing was not

out to lynch the living members of the

they were purchasing for $4,000 at the

taken from them last winter under

WELSH, Lathe full Circumstances
Of official murder, flatly c~ontradicting

Tense into the death of three Negro
farmers, Louis Cormier, IS and two
sons, Joseph %, and Adam &c former

offcie in Jennings parish seat of jeff
erson Davis Parish, to evict the farm
ers from property should they were
purchasing from the Houssiere Land
Corporation.
Conner seized Louis Cormier. stat
ing he was under arrest. Cormier pro
tested since there was no basis for this
action. He was permitted by Conner
to join his two sons a short distance
away to talk to them.
Cole followed him and as soon as he
was with his sons ordered all three to
hold their hands up, leveling a pistol
at them. When they did so and ad-
vanced owards him, Cole, becoming
excited a backward firing as he do
so. Joseph dropped dead almost on

HOW TO GET BENEFIT OF HOME
RELIEF LAW
Loans To Help Mortgagors Who Cant
Meet Payments
Washington, D. C. June-The main

spring of the home mortgage relief
law will be q 200 million dollar gov
ernment-owned "home owners loan
corporation" Officials say it should
be operating by August, with agents
in every county.
The corporation is to help
Of homes valued at no more than 20
thousand dollars, and on which the
mortgages do not exceed 80 percent
Of the present value. It has power
to issue up to two billion in bonds to
take up such mortgages.
A home owner who cannot meet
mortgage payments should first ask
the holder Of the mortgage to agree,
rather than face default, to exchange
the mortgage for IS year bonds, is
sued by the Home Owners Loan Cor
poration, and bearing 4 per cent in
terest. On these bonds the federal
government guarantees interest," but
not principle.
If the mortgage holder agrees the
agreement is taken 30 the county a.
gent for his approval, and that Of
his superior officers.
Upon such approval, the mortgage
holder takes his bonds, and the cor
poration takes over the mortgage
automatically reducing the interest to
8 per cent. The debt is to be paid
off in Is years.
The corporation expects to accum-
ulate a surplus which will enable it
to pay off its Is year bonds when
they fall due.
If the mortgage covers less than
80 per cent of the value of the prop
erty, as appraised by the agent of the
corporation, it can lend up to that
total to meet taxes and repairs.
If the mortgage holder won't &C
cept the IS year bonds then the cor
poration can lend money to the home
owner, up to 40 per cent of the cur
rent real value of the property, to
help him take up the mortgage. The
county agent arranges this. Such
loans would be at 6 per cent, for Is
years. -I
The corporation is authorized to
postpone the first payments three
years or even longer.
Those who have lost Their homes
during the past two years can if
they get the mortgage holder to agree
still avail themselves Of the benefits
Of the law.
Through the country agent. the
corporation can advance up to so per
cent of assessed value on unencum-
bered homes to meet taxes and re-
pars. The corporation~also can es-
tablish federal savings and loan as
sociations where none exist.

RESULTS
Of IMITATION

What initiation will mean to the
average man depends upon the in
dividual circumstances but can be
foreseen at the present time, ac-
cording to Leon Abbot, vice presl-
dent of Lord, Albeit & Co., New
York. He outlines typical cases
illustrating the effects Of any sub
stantial initiation as follows:
Salaried Man-Salary increases
will probably lag behind increases
in cost of food and other necessi-
ties. If renting home on long
lease at current rates, he will
stand to benefit. If homeowner,
market value of house will proba-
bly, increase.
Commission Salesman-If his
product increases in price in pro-
portion to initiation, his commits
sions per unit of sale will be un-
changed as measured in purchaS-
ing power. His gain or less is de-
termined by his volume Of busi-
ness.
111ACPCA1OCA1G ou0A41Co0 MoA1
This man will profit from in
ventory and from property owned.
Leases held will be advantageous
or at any rate cease to be source
of worry. His overhead and sal
aries paid will take less of his
gross income until such time as
equilibrium in reached.
Retired Man-If income is
"fixed" he will lose in purchasing
power. If income is partly from
high-grade bonds and partly from
common stock, increase in com
mon stock value, and income will
offset loss in purchasing power
from bond income. If income is
from rented property, he will
eventually gain through increase
of property, but his purchasing
power will decline until expiration
of present leases.

COTTON LOSSES
ONLY PARTLY
RECOVERED

NEW YORK, May 4 Q.N.S0.
Cotton futures showed some
losses today, even after rallying
from a weak opening, with Liver
pool cables to 8 American points
below due prices.
Some PrOfit-Taking
Profit-taking and moderate sell
ing from the South and New
Orleans characterized initial deal
ings, but a decline encountered a
good trade demand and further
support from Wall Street and
commission houses.
Worth Street was reported fair
ly active and Manchester reported
a better demand for goods.
Exports Are Larger
Exports of cotton were larger
yesterday and brought the total so
far this week to we'll over 1O0,0 900
bales, although the seasons figures
continue uninSpiring.
Midday prices were off 3 to S
points with July off 5 at $40,
October off 3 at 8.43, December
off 4 at 8.58, and January off 4 at

COUNTY RELIEF.
PLAN URGED

Relief for Virginia districts and
towns burdened with debts from
road construction projects is con-
tanned in a plan broached last
night by Delegate Edmund H.
Allen. of Fairfax county, who is
conducting a campaign for reelec'
tion.
Allen, recognized as the person
responsible for legislation which
permitted construction of the
Mount rnon-Woodlawn highway
connection, would have the State
assume the bonded Indebtedness
of towns and districts resulting
from roadWork.
Long term bonds would be IS
sued by the State for this project
and provision would be made for
their retirement by appropriations
from the auto license fund and
the gasoline tax.

CLOTH MARKET

NEW YORK, May 4 G.N.S.). .).-Al-
though the coarse yarn cloths market
on the whole was only moderately ac-
tive there were individual constructions
on which good business was put
through.
Prices continued firm. With reference
to the labor clause, it was said that
number of houses were selling into July
without such protection, but on goods
stiI1 being used.
1t was pointed out that while the
Black-Perkins proposition has been
shelved, there was little doubt but that
likely to develop during the summer
and mills still wanted protection against
