Quiet After Fire
VILLE PLATTE, La., Nov. 25.
State investigation, of the fire dis
aster at a dance here in which twen
ty-eight persons lost their lives, is

being told in the Cajean French.
Twenty-five of the dead were

had identified them are those of
strangers to the townspeople and
the names have not been learned.

BOGALUSA QUIET
AFTER A PITCHED
BATTLE SATURDAY
BOGALUSA, La. —Bogalusa, the
home of the largest sawmill in the
world, apparently is peaceful now
following disturbances last week be
tween a posse of special policemen
and a band of labor leaders over the
arrest of a negro during which three
white men were killed and two
wounded.
Yesterday a committee from Boga
lusa, whose purpose was not gener
ally known, called on Governor Ruf
fin G. Pleasant, in Baton Rouge.
He declined to make a statement as
to the purpose of the conference.
Names were withheld by the dele
gates.
Twelve members of the Loyalty
league and the American Legionhave
returned from New Orleans, where
they appeared before United States
Commissioner Browne to answer
the charge of unlawfully wear
ing the army uniform when they
deported O’Brien, who, they heard,
ha approved in an open statement
the shooting of former service men
at Centralia, Wash., during an Armi
stice day parade. The men, accord
ing to Congressmen Jared Y. San
ders, who had Just returned from
Washington, serving as their coun
sel, vere released on their personal
promise. Accompanying them at
their appearance in New Orleans, was
T. Semmes Walsmley, assistant state
attorney general and state com
mander of the American Legion.
Investigation yesterday in New
Orleans by the department of justice
of a meeting of Bogalusa labor men
revealed only an orderly gathering.
Beneath the silence of union men
here who talk about the situation
only among themselves there is dis
trust of officers of the law, of citi
zens of the town, and of all the press
but labor organs.
Bogalusa, with the giant sawmill
only partly operating and under
heavy guard awaiting the arrival of
repair equipment, is tensely, ex
pectantly quiet.

AMERICAN DEAD
TO BE EXHUMED
DURING 1922
IRAKIS. The 65,000 American
dedd in France must be left in the
graves they now occupy until the
French are ready to exhume their
own head, which, it is hoped, will be
before January 1, 1922.
The foreign office has promised to
consider the latest request of the
American government for the return
of its fallen soldiers, but later the
following official announcement was
made:
“It has been definitely decided
that the allies who fell together for
the same cause should remain to
gether in death until circumstonces
permit of the returning of the bodies
to the families for whom they sac
rificed themselves.’’
The proposed law forbidding the
exhumation of the soldier dead for
three years did not pass at the last
sesion of the chamber of deputies,
but the foreign office expects that it
will be adopted soon. This bill spec
ifies a delay in exhumation of three
years from the promulgation of the
law, but it is expected that this pe
riod will be shortened. At the for
eign office it is said to be probable
that the exhumation will commence
considerably before January, 1922.
Instructions that American soldier
dead interred in France outside the
so-called “zone of the armies” be
brought home as soon the arrange
ments are completed have been is
sued by Secretary Baker. About
18,000 bodies lie outside the zone.
Lieutenant Colonel Charles C.
Pierce has been placed in charge of
the graves registration service.

Recorder Hollis Fort also placed a

Republicans Prepare
To Invade Solid South
On Issue of League
WASHINGTON, D. C. With
politics fast coming to the fore. Re
publicans and Democrats are making
every effort to prepare for a test ot
strength in the congressional elec
tion in the Ninth North Carolina dis
trict.
Interest centers in the fact that
the rejection of the treaty by the
senate probably will be one of the
main factors in the campaign and
that the result will give political ob
servers some idea of how the coun
try has accepted the senate action.
The election, set for December 16,
is to fill the vacancy caused by
resignation of Edwin Y. Webb, to
accept a federal judgeship. Repub
licans encouraged by recent victor
ies in Oklahoma and Kentucky, will
make strenuous efforts to extend
their lines into the solid south, which
they claim is showing signs of break
ing. The Demo -ats, evidently
alarmed by the election of a Re
publican in an Oklahoma district that
is normally 6,000 Democratic and by
the G. O. P. sweep in Kentucky, are
preparing to send their best Cam
paigners into the district. The Re
publicans have chosen as their can
didate, John N. Morehead, G. O. P.
state chairman, who represented the
district in congress for one term
before Webb’s election.

Fell Across Bush and
Twig Pierced Boy’s Brain
Phernon Seguine Miller, eleven
year old, died at a New York hos
pital last week, following an unsuc
cessful attempt to save his life from,
the effects of an unusual accident.
The boy was playing near his
home, in Freeport, L. 1., when he fell
across a hydrangea bush. A broken
stem from the bush went through
his nostril and penetrated the an
terior lobe of the brain. Dr. William
H. Runcie extricated the twig, but
spinal meningitis set in. The boy
was sent to a hospital, where an
operation was performed, but he died
on the operating table.

Her husband, clung to his perilous

CABINET MAKES
NO DECISION IN
CASE OF JENKINS
LAREDO, Texas, Nov. 25.—Release
of William O. Jenkins, American con
sular agent at Pueblo, Mexico, “was
expected momentarily,” according to
a dispatch from Puebla to Excelsior,
a Mexico City newspaper, under date
of Sunday, November 23.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The cab
inet reached no decision on the
Mexican situation, according to Sec
retary Lansing, who precided at I
the regular weekly meeting.
Both the case of William O. Jen- ,
kins, American consular agent at ■
Puebla, and general conditions in the i
southern republic were discussed, Mr.
Lansing said, but the cabinet had
before it no more information than
was available to the state depart
ment yesterday.
A reply to the American note de
manding the release of Jenkins, who
is confined in the Puebla penitentiary
on charges in connection with his ab
duction by bandits, had been expect
ed before the cabinet meeting, but
apparently the state department has
received no intimation as to when
the reply will be forthcoming.
Meantime, so far as officials here
have been advised, Jenkins continues
to be held prisoner pending his trial,
despite his weakened physical condi
tion resulting from exposure while
kept in the mountains by the ban
dits while awaiting payment of the
$150,000 ransom.

Governor Commutes
Sentence of Official
Os Bank of Whigham
Governor Dorsey has Tuesday,
’ granted a parole to O. C. Spence,
i who is serving a term of six years
on the charge of violating the state
banking laws. Spence was vice pres
ident of the Bank of Whigham, in
Grady county, which had to close a
few years ago. He has served a few
months over two years of his sen
tence. ,
Governor Dorsey’s parole was 1
based upon a decision by the supreme
I court altering the status of the
I Spence’s case. It was shown in the
> trial of Spence that the Bank of
i \\ higham was able to pay its dcpos»«-
| tors and various other debts, but wa*
i not able to pay its stockholders.
Spence contended that the bank wa*
solvent. He appealed. The jury held
otherwise and convicted him of
wrecking the bank. The court of
appeals, to which he appealed, affirm
ed the judgment. Later in another
case of a similar nature the supreme
court held that a bank is solvent
when able to pay its depositors and
its various other debts, even
though it is not able to pay its
stockholders. When this decision
was rendered Spence applied to the
prison commission lor a parole of
his sentence. The commission recom
mended the parle and Governor Dor-:
sey granted it. *
