Monroe, La., Dec. 20.—Company
Louisiana National Guard, consisting
of sixty-five men and three offici
der command of Capt. D. W. Cooper,
moved out of Monroe yesterday o
automobile trucks for Mer Rouge i
Morehouse parish, under orders froi
the adjutant general’s office at Baton
Rouge. Although no deflate informa
tion of the purpose of the military
company at Mer Rouge has been
ceived here, it is understood the troops
were called in connection with the
situation brought about by the kid
napping last August by hooded men of
five Baton Rouge citizens, two of
whom have disappeared.
One report was that the troops had
been ordered to Bastrop, Morehouse
parish seat, where they were to guard
the court house for thirty days, in
eating that an opening hearing ii
the kidnapping decided on recently at
a conference between Gov.
Parker and attorney General Coco
would be held immediately.
Capt. Cooper, who was ordered
Baton Rouge several days ago, presi
bly for a conference with Gov. Park-
r and other state officials, returned
t noon, but refused to discuss the
eason for the military order.
In addition to arms and ammunition
he troops were supplied with provi
sions to last twenty days. Mayor Rob
ert Dade of Mer Rouge, in response
a message as to conditions there, stat
ed last night that there had been m
disorders of any kind at Mer Roug<
for several months. Morehouse parish
officials expressed surprise that
should be sent into the parish, stating
that normal conditions prevailed there.
The five Mer Rouge citizens, includ
ing Watt Daniels and Thomas F. Rich
ards, the two missing men, were kid
napped on the night of August 24, by
thirty or forty hooded men. They
taken into the country
whipping administered to at lei
of them. Three of the party, including
John Daniels, father of Watt Daniels,
were released and after wandering all
night in the woods, returned
homes the following morning.
Nothing has since been heard from
Watt Daniels and Richards. Parish
authorities, assisted by citizens of Mer
Rouge, instituted a search tor the
missing men, which has been continu
ed since the kidnapping. Appeals by
relatives of the two men were made to
Gov. Parker and parish officials, but
all efforts of the authorities to ferret
out the perpetrators have failed.
Theories have been advanced that
the lake near Mer Rouge may hold the
bodies of the two men. One report
current yesterday, was that the troops
ordered to Mer Rouge would drag the
lake.

Chicago, Dec. 17.—Chicago’s three
“leaning towers,” skyscrapers built
during the nineties, now are resting
firmly on bedrock foundations eighty
feet below the surface. The three
big office buildings, among the first
in the skyscraper class,
originally built on pile foundations,
and when the piles settled they
left noticeably out of plumb.
An inquiry disclosed that all three
had been jacked up while foundations
were continued down to the solid
rock, and that since the alteration
was made there has been no further
settling.
Chicago is underlaid by a solid
silurian deposit of Niagara limestone
from forty to tighty feet down. Over
it is a loose deposit of blue clay and
other material.
Some of the first skyscrapers, fol
lowing building methods then in
vogue, were erected on forests of
piling, but the foundations proved
unsuited to holding the immense
weight of the big office structures.
Chicago’s building laws limit the
height of office buildings to 260
feet. It is impossible, geologists
the University of Chocago say, to pile
up enugh weight, with’n that limit
to cause any shifting t-r slipping of
the bedrock foundations. The clay
deposits above the rock, on the other
hand, are subject to a slight slipping
movement.
Workmen who dug the sixty milei
of freight subway under the loop
streets found that blue clay had about
the consistency of well worked
putty, and that it was impossible to
handle it by any ordinary methods.
They finally solved the problem to
equiping steel bands three feet long
with handles, like a cross-cut saw.
Holding the blade in both hands,
the workman would bend it >nl
form of a horseshoe and hack out the
•ft clay from the tunnel heading,
while compressed air held back the
until forms could be placed and
the concrete walls poured.
POWELL DENIED NEW
TRIAL BY JUDGE LOVE
Judge Love Saturday morning de
nied the second or an extraordinary
motion for a new trial in the c
against J. L. Powell, who was
dieted by the grand jury of the L<
county circuit and convicted for m
i the
rnd dei
tion with the death of James W.
Leggette of Cairo, Ga., which occur
red in a local hospital following a
shooting affray on Lake Iamonia the
night of November 18th. A petition
by counsel for Mr. Powell for
iduction of the $500 superceadeas
bond was also denied by the court.
Fred H. Davis and Senator W. C.
Hodges are filing au appeal to be
returnable on March 12, 1923.
The Court convened at eleven
'clock with attorneys for Powell, the
States Attorney, George W. Walker,
States Attorney and W. J. Oven, who
assisted him in the prosecution, the
jury and a number of spectators in-
luding relatives of Powell, present.
Senator Hodges opened the argument
adlng the extraordinary m«
showing the grounds for which a
trial is asked. He was supported by
Fred H. Davis who cited a numbei
of cases relating to the subject. Judge
Walker offered an objection t<
motion and cited several cases to
support his objection. His objec-
in was denied.
Sheriff J. R. Jones was then sworn
id was questioned by attorneys foi
the defendant regarding the conduct
of the jury room and etc. The States
attorney only asked one question
which was “Do you know of your
knowledge of any improper
duct of any member of the Jury
which heard the case against J. W.
Powell? The answer being that ha
lot there was no further testl-
mony taken. The jaintor of the
house, Walter Norman, wa
only other witness called to support
'.he charges. Several affidavits
filed however, supporting the charges
made in the motion. Among these
affidavits wa« one signed by the
members of the Jury. This one
m was denied.
Court recessed until January 16th,

T HOSE grinding,

noises that have so insis
tently made themselves
heard through the music
you love will now annoy
you no more. Because
Columbia has discovered a
process which produces a
phonograph record sur
face so fine in texture, so
marvelously smooth that
. the needle travels over it
almost inaudibly.
This new and unbeliev
ably quiet surface makes
the phonograph what it
should be, a musical in
strument of the highest
and purest type—giving
you every inflection, the
most delicate phrasing, ex
quisitely expressed shades
of harmony that have pre
viously been lost in obtru
sive surface sounds.
The New Columbia
Records out to-day are
all made with this ultra
fine, ultra smooth and
quiet, new surface.
For beauty of sentiment,
charm of melody and rich
ness of vocal expression
you will find Oscar Seagle’s
singing of “Where the
Morning Glories Twine" a
record of sheer delight. It
is one of those old-fash
ioned melodies that make
your heart-strings sing in
unison, and it is deli
ciously free from irritating
scratch or scrape.
Tear out the accompany

STILL WITHOUT CLUES
TO DENVER BANDITS
Denver, Col., Dec. 20,—Denver
state and federal authorities last
night, after • day and night spent in
searching for the bandits who Monday
morning shot and killed Charles Lin
ton, stole a consignment of $200,000
from federal rcservs guards and made
their escape, in ene of the moat dar
ing and sensational daylight *
ever staged In tha Wait, were without
bandits.
Police, spurred On by the offering
of a reward of $10,000 for the ban
dits, dead or alive, by the city and
county of Denver and by an addi
tional reward aggregating $5,000 of
fered by the Kansas City Federal Re
serve Bank, admitted that although
they had clues that promised possi
bilities, they were still far from the
solution of the holdup.
”~Last night a squard of 14 detectives
are engaged in watching a rooming
house in the immediate vicinity of
the government mint where earlier
in the day a car, evidently left
street by the bandits to be used in
case of accident to their own machine
during the holdup, was discovered
through information furnished by a
woman. The car, an investigation
showed, had been stolen. The auto
mobile, according to the woman, had
been parked on the street by three
men, about an hour preceding the
holdup and subsequent gffh fighting
on the front step# of the main
trance to the mint.
That tha robbery was accomplished
by Denver bandits and not by out
side highwaymen is the belief of
Chief of Police H. D. Williams and
:h of them is being conducted
with that thaory In mind.

There are more than three times as
many varieties of fish in Japan aa

Asiatic Society in a lecture. Eight
hundred fishes now art known, div
ided into sevaral groups, some of
which ere not native to these waters
ire brought from other regions
by ocean currents.
Referring to the recent prohibition
of the sale of fish owing to the
cholera epidemic, Professor Jordon
declared cholera did not come from
fish from the open aea but from
those species that liva along the
coast and come in contact with
poisonous refuse cast Into the aea.
