Down 8outh. Bogalusa, La., Nov. 25.--Three alleged agitators were killed and one was perhaps mortally wounded In a rifle and pistol battle with members of the Law and Order league here. The Law and Order men suffered only one , casualty, Jules Leblanc, an ex-soldier, who was wounded in his right arm. Those killed were: Lnm E. Williams, president of the Central Trades and Labor council of Bogalusa. Walter Bouchillon, one of Williams' Uentenants. Thomas Gains, another of Williams" -lieutenant*. - S. J. O'Rourke was shot three times aod probably will not survive. He 1* wounded in the left hand, right arm and right lung. The shooting followed an attempt by Williams to prevent the arrest of Sol Dakus, a negro, who had been trying to organise the colored labor of Bogalasa. City officers spent the night combing the negro quarter of the city for Dakus. They were later Informed Williams was hiding the man they wanted. That wasn't quite true. Williams rather was flaunting him. He had turned Dakus out of his hiding place and the negro was parading Columbia street, one of the busiest thoroughfares at Bogalnsa, with Bouchillon and O'Rourke as a guard of honor. Each white man carried a shotgun. # The "parade" was over before the officers reached Columbia street. It had lasted just long enough to serve notice on the townspeople that Dakus was under Williams' protection. When the police learned tj>e negro was In Williams'garage, a whistle was sounded as a signal to the Law and Order league members to assemble at the city hall ready for action. About 60 of them, most of them ex-soldiers, responded. They marched on the Williams garage. Williams was in his office with Bouchillon, O'Rourke and Jim Williams, his brother. "Come out, Lum!" called one of the officers. , "All right," agreed William. Til be right oat" ^ \ But he didn't come. After waiting several minutes the officer repeated his demand. *If you want me, come and get me," 1MB Williams' reply. As he spoke, one of his companions turned loose on the posse with a highpowered rifle. It was in this fusillade that Leblanc was wounded. # The fire was returned with rifles and pistols. Perhaps 50 shots were exchanged. Then the battle was over, with three of the agitators dead and another dying. * FRENCH LOTTERY AUTHORIZED Minister of Finance Arranging Long- Planned Scheme for Raising • « v ^,000,000,000 Franc* P&rls, Nov. 25.--The minister of finance has authorized the longplanned lottery loan of 4,000,000,000 francs ($800,000,000).

ATTRACTED HIS ATTENTION AT LAST I J** Supreme Peace Council to Pact Into Effect December 1. • A LAW FIGHTS DELAY Cant Delay Action on Ratification of the Treaty Any Longer--No Slack- In England's Determination to Take Lead. Paris, Nov. 24.--The supreme council agreeed Upon December 1 as the date when the German peace treaty ivill be formally ratified. Further informal discussion? have been held with the German representatives now here in connection with the notification by the allies that a protocol must be signed by Germany guaranteeing fulfillment of the armistice conditions. These discussions have been confined chiefly to the methods of procedure in considering the protocol. As yet the Germans have not stated whether they will sign the document. The American delegation is still without instructions as to its participation in the peace conference, following the failure of the senate to ratify the treaty, but Henry White attended the meeting of the supreme council as representative of the United States, Undersecretary Polk being absent in London, and the entire delegation is continuing Its work in the belief that a compromise ratification resolution will be agreed to in the United States senate. This view is apparently shared by most of the members of the council, who are anxious for a continuance of the United States in the deliberations of the peace-making body. The council, however, is working out plans so that the enforcement of the treaty will not be hindered if the United,^ States falls to ratify the treaty later. Jules' Cambon of the French delegation presided over the council's session in the absence of Foreign Minister Pichon. The next meeting will be held Monday. Stephen Pichon, French foreign minister, and Sir Eyre Crowe, assistant undersecretary for foreign affairs of Great Britain exchanged ratifications of the treaty guaranteeing British aid to France if, without provocation, she Is attacked by Germany. The announcement of ratification of the treaty caused considerable surprise, because it had been generally understood that Great Britain would not ratify the treaty before like action by the United States. Although the treaty was ratified. It does not come Into force until the similar treaty with the United States has been ratified. » London, Nov. 24.--"The inability of the United States representatives* at Paris to deposit President Wilson's ratification of the German treaty at the same time those of other powers are filed, will not prevent the remaining allied and associated powers from proceeding to carry the treaty into effect," said Andrew Bonar Law, government leader in the house of commons*, in answer to numerous questions regarding the status of the treaty as a result of the American senate's action.- In answer to a question from Sir Donald Maclean, Mr. Bonar Law said: , "Without doubt there will be no slackening In the determination of Great Britain to do all In her power to take the lead in seeing that the League of Nations becomes an effective instrument of human progrew. I think it would be a mistake to assume that all possibility of help from the United States Is gone." HclP*. -' • *!- <' *** f*V- •vr & 0MGAOO OAIVY r CHy Cars Urged in Toledo.

GOLD-COIN SCALES A RELIC MMpoifrl Man Has Device That Waa -In Daily Use in That State Many Years Ago. A gold-coin scales of the type so useful to merchants In the middle of the nineteenth century is one of the relics kept by Jeff Davis of Boonvllle. Modern methods of exchange have rendered the scales useless but It Is In as good condition as it was when his grandfather used It at Cole Neck sixty years ago. At the time B. B. Brereton set ap his little store at Cole-Neck, Just a half mile north of what Is now Clifton City, the pioneers were crossing the plains In search for gold. Gold "sweating" was common. Particles of gold dust were removed from the coin so that its value rather than its appearance suffered. The merchant had to be constantly on the lookout for underweight coins when dealing with such a class of trade. A pair of scales was bought by Mr. Brereton for this purpose. A brass weight was used in balancing the scales to get the exact weight of the coin. But the weight test was not the only one applied. A slot of varying size Is In each receptacle on the scales. The slots were for the $1, $2.50, $3, $5, $10 and $20 coins. Coins failing to fit exactly In their respective slots were rejected.--Boonvllle (Mo.) Republican.
