MEXICO AND PEACE NOTE LEAK
OCCUPY TIME OF STATESMEN
Radical Changes Looked For Soon. Operator Said To
Have Made Fortune Accused in Peace Note "Leak"
After receiving full reports from •
the Mexican-American commission, !
President Wilson now holds a key j
to the situation, and it lies with him
what the future policy of the United
States government toward Mexico
shall be. Unofficial information says
that the joint commission consider it
ussless to try to reach an understand
ing through further efforts of the
commission. The President discussed
the situation with his three com
missioners for about an hour yester
day afternoon, but would not give
out anything for publication saying
that he did not wish to discuss the
question in any of its phases. It is
said that at least one more confer
ence will be held with the Mexican
commissioners, probably some time
next week, when the Mexicans are
expected to receive the reply of
General Carranza to the proposals of
the commission.
Tonight the opinion is that some
radical changes in the Mexican situa
tion will transpire soon, one of
which is the recall of Gen. Pershing
and his troops, and the war depart

Baton Rouge, La.,'Jan. 3.—Owing
to the inability of L. E. Thomas and
R. W. Riordan to reach the city, the
meeting of the Board of State Af
fairs which had been called for this
morning to confer with Governor
Pleasant about its work was post
poned until tomorrow morning. Jud
ge Thomas M. Milling, of Franklin,
the other members of the board,
reached the capitol this morning and
held a conference with the governor.
The board will elect a secretary
and elect a suit of rooms, probably
in a down town office building. There
is no room for the board in the state
house.
J. St Clair Favrot, of Baton
Rouge, secretary of the State Board
of Equalization, which automatical
ly expired when the Board of State
Affairs came into existence January
1, is being mentioned for the posi
tion of the secretary. *
The Atchafalaya Basin Levee
Board held its bi-monthly meeting at
the Istrouma Hotel this morning and
transacted routine business. The
levees of the district are' in fine
shape, acording to Victor Lefebre,
president of the board.
Business on the road is picking up
again and the hotels are doing a
nice business once more. During the
Xmas season when the local mer
chant makes his clean up, the
hotel man has the slackest season of
the year. Among the travelers in

Bernard Basruch, a New York

has called a meeting for tomorrow
to consider this step.
In holding the resolution privilege
Speaker Clark disregarded, every
thing it contained save two state
ments by Thomas W. Lawson to the
effect thaUmembers of Congress had
been wallowing in the graft of Wall
street through leaks for forty years
and that inauguration of a real in
vestigation would see less than a
quorum present in both houses and

MORGAN CITY BOOST
Morgan City, a fine thriving city
of 5,000, is one of the important
oyster and fish shipping point on the
Southern Pacific. In the lakes about
the town may be found excellent
fishing, and during the fall and win
ter months the local water courses
offer good opportunity for wild fowl
shooting.
Following the wide and deep
Atchafalaya River southward brings
the traveler to the Gulf Coast, only
some twenty miles distant. Here are
numerous shallow salt and brackish
lakes, inlets and streams. The area is
comparatively treeless, only the wild
grass covering the low marsh shore
lines and forming the boundaries of
the lakes and coast. Ridges are of
frequent occurrence in the marshes,
and here may always be found the
inhabitant and his domestic domi
cile.
For thirty miles east and west of
the Atchafalaya, may be found fine
hunting and fishing—the game in
cluding all species of water fowl,
and the fishing represented by all
varieties peculiar to the Gulf, in
cluding crab and the great prawn or
deep water shrimp.
Morgan City should be made the
headquarters or outfitting point for
the hunter, for there are excellent
hotels, fine stores, and many motor
crafts, which may be secured for the
journey, with but a comparatively
small expense.—From "Hunting and
Fishing in Louisiana and Texas

MURDER CASE HINGES
ON HEARTIEST MEAL
Ossipee, N. H., Jan. 2.—Expert
testimony that Mrs. Florence Small
had eaten meat and vegetables an
hour before her death was supple
mented today by the statement of
witnesses that Frederick L. Small, on
trial for her murder, and his wife
generally had their heartiest meal at
noon. Testimony, given by Mrs. Lilly
M.' Ferrin and Edwin C. Conner is
regarded by the prosecution as signi
ficant because of its bearing on the
time of the woman's death. Small
left his home for Boaton about 3 p.
m. September 28, the hay of the
murder. He has stated since that
they bad light lunch of canned
shrimp just before he left.
Counsel for the defense, it is un
derstood, will contend that the find
ing of the other food in Mrs. Small's
stomach indicates that she was alive
after her husband departed, and had
an opportunity to eat another meal
before her death, which, in those
circumstances, must have occurred
after Small had boarded the train.
Both Mrs. Ferrin and Conner tes
tified that Mr. and Mrs. Small had
told them at various times that they
eut their principal maul at noon.

We Hope Fire Won't Come
to your home during the com

bility that it may, and if it
does you should be prepared
for the consequences. It
seems to us so foolish when a
man says he doesn't need lire
insurance, that he has never
had a tire and doesn't expect
to have one. When a fire
starts you can never tell
where it will end. Be pre
pared in any event by taking
