Two men accused of having intoxicating linuor in their possession made an ineffectual attempt to conduct Mayor Smith's court for him. The mayor let it be known that he was competent to conduct his own court ami emphasized his point by lining each of the men $100, which they paid. The two men were registered at a local hotel in a room with two or three othe.r men, and at the conclusion of a night of hilarity the report reached the office that there was a dead man in the room. This started the hotel clerk out on a still hunt for a dead man, in which a policeman joined, and resulted in case in police court. The report that the man was dead was exaggerated and not in keeping with the facts, but when the policeman entered the room the first object that greeted his eye, according to his testimony, was a bottle of horrid liquor on the center table.

No Pressing Demand for Labor. According to F. E. Roney, president of the Chamber of Commerce, there is no Dressing demand for labor here now and not many openings for persons seeking employment. Most contractors brought tiieir laborers with them when they came, and these forces have been augmented by who came in at high tide with the stampeders in the early days of the rush.

There is less excitement here on Saturdays and Sundays than during any other day in the week. The oil men and lease dealers usually go home for the week-end, and the local people have opportunity to discuss something besides oil structures, locations and the probable size of the El Dorado pool. Geologists for the Quaker City Petroleum Company have picked their third location, which will be four mile? east of the Busey well in 37-17-15. No announcement was made as to when drilling will begin. Postoffice in a Jam.

55c THE MONROE, (LA.) NEWS-STAR, MONDAY, JANUARY 31, 1921 THEMARKETS increased business, but now that the visitors have been here some time they are beginning to pay some attention to their correspondence, with the result that now there is a big jam at the pOst- office. During the last three days has been a long line waiting before the general delivery window. Four extra clerks have been employed and a request will be made for five additional clerks to handle the increased mail. Postmaster J. II.

Gariaon said the registered mail and special delivery busi- ness has increased three times over1 what it was before the rush began and that mail in other departments has doubled. Mr. Garison estimates that the populatiqn of El Dorado has in- 8,000 since the Busey will came in. The same increase is noted at the of-; fice of the American Express Company. A storage tent, 150x100 feet, has been erected near the railroad stations fori material intended for the oil field.

This will make it unnecessary to haul this express to the uptown office before it is delivered. Preparing for Pipe Line. On an eminence a few hundred yards from the Busey well large steel tanks are being erected. A pipe line will be connected to these tanks, and after the oil has been treated it wi 11 bo forwarded through the pipe line to tank cars in El Dorado for shipment. Dr.

Busey today denied there is gumbo in the prod-1 uct from the well, but admitted that there is an emulsion, but admitted that rific gas pressure and that the oil will be treated before it is put in the storage tanks and thence piped to El Dorado. There seems to be a large number of people here opposed to the plan of drill-1 ing within the city lirftits, but so far as can be ascertained there is no organized opposition. However, the first gun like-j ly will be fired by the Warner-Brown1 hospital authorities, who are watching with some concern reported plans to drill on vacant ground near the hospit- al. a well is on this 1 cant lot it is quite likely that a petition for injunction will be filed immediately. The opnosition, it seems, has taken of- i fense because the City Council tacked on the emergency clause, which effectually prevents submission of the qu.

s- i tion to the people. It that if the people are permitted to vote on the question, and approve of drilling in the city limits the opposition will fade away. i NEW ORLEANS COTTON Spots 14c. March Mai Monday, Jan. 31, 1921.

It is reported here that the store house of L. Roberts of Kelly was broken into Friday night, but the only merchandise missing was a lot of jewelry, the value of which is unknown. J. J. Humble was called over phone yesterday and asked to go to Kelly with his blood hounds, but as one ot his hounds had died, he did not go.

Up to this time there is no clue as to who the robber may be. It. has just leaked out that Marving Hogg who was acquitted of the crime of arson in the district court here last Thursday evening, escaped conviction under that law which empowers nine out of twelve jurors to bring in a verdict in any case where the punishment is not capital. Three out of the twelve jurors held out for conviction to the last, it was thought at the time of the rendition of the verdict that it was unanimous, but later on it was ascertained that three of the members were convinced of his guilt, mainly for two reasons: the hounds trailed directly from the scene of the crime to the home of the accused and would have run onto him had they not been restrained, and the accused immediately inquired what the prospects were of quashing the whole matter by paying the owner of the house the value of it. .1.

However, the allies have already agreed to make no important concessions, and if the reparation plan is violated, to enforce the dictum by military operations if necessary. Therefore, while Germany may kick in the traces, she will be oblidged to toe the mark by making the payment demanded, else suffer the con-equences of having her territory invaded, perhaps seized. The next meeting of the supreme council of the a 11 will be held in London February Meanwhile, an effort will be by the allies to come to an understanding with Turkey as a means of establishing peace with that country, tno solution of which means so much for British trade. Now that the reparation question is out of the way, that much has been accomplished in creating a definite status of the European situation and if peace is arrived at in near future with Turkey the last of the political conditions affecting unfavorably European trade will be removed. In meantime the industrial and fuel situation in U.

S. is gradually improving, more plants, including textile mills, resuming operations, many on full time and more are scheduled to open in the future, assuring increasing consumption of raw material, in which cotton will share largely. In view of the more favorable outlook for a revival of trade and further improvement in the European political situation, coupled with prospects for a drastic reduction in acreage this yeat we are disposed to take a hopeful view of the cotton situation, as there is every reason to anticipate a revival in the spot demand and in the export movement owing to the recent sharp rise in foreign exchange and lower ocean freight rates.

The prisoner was located near Sandy Bayou, sixteen miles south of here on the Ouachita river where he was playing the roll of fisherman, using the same boat which he had stolen at Monroe and in which he had lowed himself from that city to thf point where he was captured. The prisoner is a full blooded German and admits that he served a term in the New York penitentiary for robbing a woman of diamonds and other jewelry. He was -rving time in the New York penitentiary when the war with Germany broke out, and being released he enlisted in the United States army but deserted soon after, and joined the I. VV.

since which time he has been roaming over the country and subsisting on the fruits of crime. He says that one of the cardinal doctrines of the I. W. is to do no work if they find it possible to maintain themselves by any other means. While the prisoner was being handcuffed by Sheriff McClanahan he told that officer that being handcuffed was no new thing to him, but that if he had not been taken unawares that his arrest would not have been such an easy matter.

The prisoner gives his age as twenty four years, is about feet and ten inches tall, weighs about 160 pounds and is of reddish complexion and clean shaven.

The War Department has taken the stand that bridges cannot be built within half a mile of a railroad draw bridge, and has designated a point half a mile north of the point selected by citizens, as a favorable location, and point that would meet the approval of the Federal government. This will cause a longer distance of about a mile and will mar the attractiveness of the road, as now proposed.

The Government will furnish aid in the building of the bridge, and the citizenship is desirous of Federal co-operation, but regardless of the Federal aid proposition, the Government will have to approve the building of the bridge, and with or without Federal aid, the War Department has signified its intention of prohibiting the building of the Bayou Macon bridge ut a point other than mile up stream.

The trio was arrested within a few days after the killing of the negroes in the lumber camp of the Holly Ridge and Faust Brothers Lumber Companies and indicted by the next grand jury, but the work of this grand jury was thrown out as it was held it was illegally drawn.

The three men were indicted by a second grand jury and the deliberations of this grand jury were also held to be illegal. The men have been in jail at Rayville since their arrest.
