New Orleans, May S.-For some time
past the removal of garbage in this
city has been the vexat!on and worry
of the city officials and a loud smell
ling nuisance to the populace. One
of Maurice Harris many schemes was
the formation of a garbage company
which was granted monopolistic rights
by the old city council.
owing to their failure to remove gar
bage the new city government was
forced to take charge Of its removal.
The garbage had become a menace to
health as well as an intolerable nui-
sance. The council appropriated one
hundred twenty thousand dollars and
authorized the street commissioner to
proceed with the removal of garbage,
Thereupon the garbage company ask
ed the state Supreme court for an in
junction to prevent the city from doing
the work.
The court refused the injunction and
the garbage company went to the Uni
ted States Circuit court and asked fol
an Injunction to compel the city to re-
tain the same budget for the removal
of garbage until the city has made q
settlement with the company; alsC
that some seventy-tiVe thousand dol
lars to be put aside for she payment o
deBts due the company for work las

sand dollars would be tied up by Fh'

Today Judge Parlange rendered

Special Wire to Sunday Light.
New Orleans, May S.-An INTEREST,"
ing sequel to the hanging of the Blanc
brothers at Lafayette, La.,April II.
has developed. 1t appears that the
story told by the young murderers
of their mothers death was a fabrica-
ton pure and simple, invented by them
in the hope of exciting sympathy at
the time of their trial.
According to a recent letter from
France, the mother of the boys is now
living in good circumstances in France
She has only recently heard of the ex-
ecution of her sons and is frantic with
grief and refuses to believe them gull
tv of their crime. About year ago
| Alexis and Ernest Blanc, both under
20 years of age, murdered Simon Reg
maud. a merchant of Scott, La, in his
| store and robbed him Of $4,000. The
bows then spent several weeks in New
/ Orleans and made a tour of Europe-
| After suuandering all the money they
returned to Lafayette and were ar
| rested. They made full confession
and told pitiful story of the sudden
| death of their mother in France an1
of their longing to see her last resting
place which had driven them to commit
the murder and robbery to enable then
to go to France tonvisSs her grave
Both the boys were born and reared
near Paris. Frares, and were well ed
ucated. Later they became tramrs
and came to this country where they
determined to get a fortune.
