Their Own Fault.


The health authorities of Acadia,
Calcasieu and ST. Landry were in
vited by the Board of Health of
Lafayette to attend Thursdays con-
ference '.for the purpose of taking
uniform and deefsfve aeffon on the
plan /0~uxIuf<d by the Ae>sLfh eoa-
ference lately AeH at Franklin, to
reopen railroad traffic along safe
lines"
The delegates from the above
named parishes stated to the con-
ference that they had come with
instructions not to consent to any
plan which admitted any thing from
east of Lafayette. The gentlemen
also seemed to want to cast mild
insinuations that they had been
inveigled into this conference by
tsways that are dark and tricks that
are vain."
In all candor we will ask our
western friends to again read the
Invitation and get its clear and I'M
mistakable meaning. 1t meant ex-
actly what it said and said exactly
what il meant There is no ambi
guilty about it. =
The conference was called of
the purpose of taking action upon
the Franklin plan and they tell us
they were instructed to have
nothing to do with anything east Of
Lafayette, and yet they accepted
the invitation and attended the
conference and tried to poke fun at
US for it.
To paraphrase Webster Flanna-
gan, "Gentlemen, what were you
here for. anyhow?

ANOTHER RUMOR
That Yellow Jack Has Made His
Appearance Here.

To the Lafayette Gazette:
Opelousas. Oct. 1+.-Rumors
here of suspicious cases in Lafay-
cite. Wire truth at once. Have
cases been isolated ? CLARION.
The foregoing telegram was re-
ceived Thursday morning.
There appears to be a systematic
attempt to create the impression
abroad that there is yellow fever in
Lafayette. This message and the
one from the Lake Charles Amerl-
can show that some one has been
doing a great deal of tall lying
about Lafayette. Fortunately the
Lake Charles American and Ope-
lousas Clarion have acted intelli-
gently in the matter, exploding the
falsehood before allowing 1t to
cause much damage.

YELLOW FEVER LIAR
Is Still Abroad In the Land-His
Last Effort.

It appears that some people, who
evidently have nothing to do,
spend all their time Matching and
circulating yellow fever lies. 1t
seems that every community has
it's quota of these fertile liars who
are continuously engaged in their
nefarious work. Since the begin
ming of the yellow fever scare La
fayette has been the victim of sew
eral large lies Matched with remark
able vividness and circulated with
electrical rapidity. The last of
these whoppers had travelled nearly
hundred miles before it was
nailed. Wednesday The Gazette
received a telegram from the Lake
Chasles American asking if it was
true that there was case of yellow
fever in Lafayette. An answer was
wired Immediately stating positively
that the report was unfounded.
Had not the American taken the
proper steps to ascertain the truth
of the rumor, the chances are that
all the towns west of here would
have established an absolute quar-
antine against US. If one of those
who originate yellow fever lies
would be caught and severely pun
ished it would have very salutary
effect upon the whole tribe.

Press Meeting Postponed.

~SS >AO~SAAAe5 - OSSk|OAA~s
CROWLEY, La, Sept. ga, 1901
Inasmuch as the prevalence of yell
low fever in New Orleans would
doubtless prevent a large attend
ance of members of the Editorial
Association at the meeting, if held
an early abatement of the disease;
the executive committee has deemed
a postPonement wise and exPedient.
In accordance with this decision,
the dates have been changed from
October 7, 8 and 9 to December
16, II and 10, 1897. This will
bring the convention at a time long
after the fever will have been killed
out, and at a season of the year
even more delightful in Louisiana
than the original date. 1t is sim
cerely hoped that every member
will make special effort both to be
present themselves and also to in
cite others to join and be in attend
ance, and do all within their power
towards insuring the success of the
convention.
There will be no material change
in the program of exercises and
amusement features as originally
published beyond that the excursion
to Nashville must of necessity be
declared off. Whether or not an
excursion to some other point will
be arranged has not been deter
mined, and the secretary would be
pleased to have suggestions from
members relative thereto.
Members who have secured trans
portation for the October meeting
should return the same and request
its reissue covering transportation
for the later dates. Any members
who were unable to arrange for
transportation for the October
meeting and desire to attend the
December convention, will please
communicate with the secretary,
who will assist in the adjustment of
the matter.
The request is made of members
that they kindly make mention of
the postponement in the columns of
their papers, to the end that it be
given as wide publicity as possible.
Fraternal1y,
L. E. BENTLEY, President,

Guaranteed and disiufected, trans
mitted directly to the cars for ship
ment, require no disinfection.
Articles, not in the four classes
above enumerated, that have been
exposed to infection are to be pro-
hibited.
s. This conference recommend
and hereby accepts the generous
offer of the United States through
DR.. H. r. Carter of the Marine
Hospital Service, to establish a
camp of detention and disinfection
whereat skilled and other labor can
be held under a thorough probation,
before being transmitted 10 non-in-
fected district, to assist in the saw
ing of the present crop of sugar; so
essential to the material prosperity
of Louisiana. This conference,
also commends the generous offer
of DR.. Garter of the United States
Marine Hospital Service to bring
from non-infected points such as
Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Mis-
sissispi, etc., through New Orleans,
in close cars, doors and windows
shut, and no person or. thing being
allowed to enter the car during its
transit. The cars to be provided
with United State guards on the
platform of each car, to insure the
faitful carrying out of this arrange
ment. Each passenger, SO passing
will receive certificate from a
United States Inspector, SO that he
may be Unidentified.
People (mechanicsJ from an in
fected district, New Orleans or
elsewhere, after staying ten days in
a u. S. Detention Camp under
medical supervision, their clothes
being disinfected on arrival, will be
transferred under the same precau-
tons adopted for laborers, outside
of the infected district to destina-
ton.
The experience of the Jackson
Vile and Brunswick epidemics
where detention camps. were used;
where thousands passed through
these camps and scattered over the
Southern States without spreading
or even engendering a single case
of yellow fever, should quiet the
public mind and inspire confidence
in the application of the scientific
methods used by the U. S. Marine
Hospital Service in this country,
and in Europe in 1898. During
the cholera epidemic of that year
probably $4,000 people were car
ried through infected towns, with
out giving rise to a single case of
cholera.
7. It being necessary, in order
to carry out the above proffer made
by DR.. H. r. Carter, of the U. S.
Marine Service, in his circular of
September 80, 1897, that the Police
Juries of the different parishes in
terested signify their willingness to
receive laborers and mechanics un-
der the rules and regulation above
provided-we, the members of the
present conference, recommend
that the police service of the
several parishes interested accept,
without delay, the proposal of DR..
r. H. Carter, of the u. S. Marine
Hospital Service, and ask for it's
speedy organization to insure the
saving of the present cane crop.

with characteristic earnes:ness and

Acadia and Calcasieu followed suit
and it looked like bolt in a Politl-
cal convention.
Now that the authorities of the
town and parish of Lafayette have
committed themselves to the adop-
ton of the Franklin plan, we will
in all probability resume railway
traffic with New Orleans at an early
date under the following restrictions:
FRANKLIN PLAN.
I. The keeping up of parish and
municipal Boards of. Health to su-
pervise local hygiene and regulate
interparochial sanitary measures to
prevent the spread of infectious, or
contagious diseases, in accordance
with such restrictions as are known,
by experience and scientific re-
searches to be effective, in prevent
ing the spread of disease, without
being harsh, and oppressive, and
ruin Gus to the great interests of the
State.
2. We recommend free inter
course between non-lnfected local
tiles, within the State, and inter-
state, guarded only by such super
vision, as the local boards may
deem judicious to impose, in con-
formity always, with the rules and
regulations, imposed by the u. S.
Marine Hospital Service in its CO.
operating with the Board of Health
of the State of Louisiana.
Z. We recommend that our rail-
roads adopt a system of relay sta
tions at which exposed crews and
officers will be exchanged for non
exposed, to proceed from the relay
station, to non-infected points; the
relay stations to be subject to the
same rules and regulations adopted
by the u. S. Hospital service, for
camps of detention and disinfection.
4. We recommend that all
through freights, coming from non
infected localities be transported
without interference, (subject only
to local inspection by health au-
thorities) to destination. Unbroken
carloads, destined to pass through
an infected locality should pass
through such localities at q speed of
20 miles. The cars containing
merchandise and commodities des-
tined for healthy localities, should
be sealed and disinfected. Upon
their arrivals at the relay station,
such trains are to be subjected to
the same rules and regulations of
passenger trains, to-wit: Before
proceeding to destination, their
crews should be exchanged for a
non-exposed crew. ~
s. Merchandise and other COM
modities to be handled and tran
sported will be subject to the fol-
lowing regulation.
Glass Est. All new and dry ma
terial unpacked such as lumber,
machinery, brick, bar and sheet
iron, tin, teel, agricultural imp!e-

etc. being unable of conveying in
lection require no distinction.

tainer.

ROYVILLE
Present Quarantine
And Says Her Physicians
Were IDSlllted.

To The Lafayette Gazette:
Royv1LLE, La, Oct. 7, 1877
A meeting of the citizens of the 4th
ward of the parish of Lafayette was
called to order by Hon. O. Cade in
Mr.. p. r. Roy's hall at p. m.
Oct. 7, 1897. After the object OF
the meeting had been stated Mr.. H.
TheaH was elected permanent chair
man and Mr.. Chas. Young secre-
tary.
Moved by Mr.. J. Prlmeaux and
seconded, that a committee of four
be appointed to draft resolutions
expressing the views of the meeting.
The chairman appointed O. Cade, J.
r. Domengeaux, A. A. Mouchet
and P. r. Roy on said committee.
The committee reported the follow
ing resolutions, which, after due
consideration and discussion, were
unanimously adopted:
Resolv<d, That we, in mass meet
ing assembled, consider that the
Board of Health of Lafayette has
ignored the people of this COM
munity and insulted our physicians.
ResolveA, That we have con-
fidence in our physicians and con-
slider they are as fully competent to
Judge the health of our community
as any physician in the parish.
ResoIvcA, That we condemn
the present parish quarantine
system now established in this par
1sh in that it shows favoritism and
R<solveA, That we protest
against any and all guarantees that
may be established against Royville
and the 4th ward, as we know pos
itively that yellow fever does not
exist in our midst.
O. CADE, Chairman;
J. r. DoM1NGEAUx,
A. A. MoUCHET,
P. R. Roy.
Moved and seconded that quar-
antine be established against Lafa-
yette as rumor reports that there
are several cases of yellow fever in
that town. DR.. n. D. Young being
present arose and stated that he
did not approve of any such steps
being taken as he had the assur-
ance of DR.. Raoul Trah an,
president of the Board of Health of
the parish, that the reports are
false and nothing but dengue and
other mild fevers exist in the town.
DR.. Young seemed to think that the
word of physician of veracity and
reputation could and should be de-
pended upon without further inves-
tigation. The motion was, upon
his suggestion, withdrawn.
Moved by DR.. R. O. Young that
a vote of thanks be extended our
police Juror for his strenuous efforts
in trying to protect our ward and
town against unjust quarantine and
false reports. Carried.
Moved by Hon. O. Cade and
seconded that copy of these
proceedings of this meeting be sent
our two parish papers and the
Daily Iberian for publication.
Carried.
Moved by Mr.. Domingeaux that
our police juror be requested to
read the proceedings of this assem-
bly, at the next meeting of the
Police Jury. Carried.
There being no further business
the meeting adjourned sine die.

Quarantine Dots.

It is safe to say that the discov-
cry of yellow fever in Galveston
did not cause profuse shedding of
tears in the commercial circles of
New Orleans.
San Antonio is doing the Atlanta
act Just now. There is some mag
nanimity in the land yet.
In the matter of quarantine there
is a marked difference between the
people of Atlanta and those of
Rayne. s
We hope Breaux Bridge will quit
worrying itself about Lafayette.
At one time it did look like La
fayette had guaranteed against one
half of the world while the other
half had guaranteed against it.
Lafayette has shut out Abbeville
because of its relations with New
Iberia and Abbeville has quaran-
tined New Iberia on account of the
latter's failure to quarantine against
Lafayette. And there you are.
1t would be good idea to have
New Iberia send out few of its
Solomons to disseminate the sur.
plus wisdom which is oozing out of
Bro. Weeks of the Iberian.
We read in the Rayne Tribune
that it was s'of6cially" reported
that there were five or six cases Of
yellow fever at Royville.
