THE TOWN
Trying to Collect the Damages
From the Consolidated En-
cheering Company.

The City Council held special
meeting last Monday and adopted
resolution authorizing Mayor
Campbell to give an indemnity
bond OF $4,000 which, it seems, is
Necessary to secure the execution of
the judgment rendered by the courts
against the Consolidated Engineer
ing Company and in favor of the
town Of Lafayette.
The readers of The Gazette no
doubt remember that judgment
was rendered by the district and
aft rmed by the circuit court allow
ing the town of Lafayette $500 as
damages for defective boilers put
in by the Consolidated Engineering
Company in the Construction of the
electric light and waterworks plant.
Owing to the financial condition Of
the company the town could not
then recover the damages by an
execution Of the judgment. Matters
were held in allegiance until few
y
Dupre at Crowley offered the town
of Lafayette an opportunity to COL
lect the $500 damages which had
been granted by Judge Debaillon.
Judge Dupre's decision ordered the
town of Crowley to pay to the Con-
solidated Engineering Company the
sum Of 10000. Of this amount the
firm Of Muir & Famberg, of New
Orleans, claimed half, $4,000.
THIS claim, it appears, was &C
knowledged to be good.

ment of $500 against the Consoli-
dated Engineering Company out OF
the remaining $4,000 due the com,
pany by the town of Crowley. L,
then developed that Muir & Fam
berg had fled another claim, no.
for $4,000, but 10000, the whole
amount. 1t is to combat this sec
ond claim of the firm Of Muir 8
Famberg that the City Council O
Lafayette has found it necessary te

an indemnity bond of $4,000.

THE CORNERSTONE
OF the Industrial SchOOl-GOv.
Heard, ex-GOv. Foster and
Prof. Prescott VIII
BE Here.

Prof. z. l.. Stephens, who is now
the Industrial School, has written
to Hon. Charles D. Caffery of this
town. Prof. Stephens states that
be has met with much encourage
ment in his work at the capital. A
number of legislators have mani
tested much interest in the success
of the institution and have proffered
their help to secure adequate sup
port from the State government.
The professor has not been idle
since his arrival at Baton Rouge.
He has been engaged in enlisting
the sympathy and support of citi-
zens from the different sections of
the State.
Prof Stephens writes that Gov.
Heard has auth orized him to state
that he will be in Lafayette on the
e1st of June to take part in the
ce, emony of the laying of the corner
stone of the Industrial School.
We are also pleased to announce
that ex. Gov. Foster will be here if
possible.
Prof. Prescott, of the State Uni
versity, has accepted an invitation
to deliver an address, which will no
doubt be a prominent feature of
the days celebration. Mr.. Pres
colt was, for number of years,
the president of the Ruston Indus
trial School and his address will
not fail to prove instructive and in
teresting.
Prof. Stephens urges immediate
and practical work in the prepare
ton Of the program for the 2Ist.
In our next issue we hope to be
able to publish the program. The
people of the town and parish
should work together in one grand,
harmonious effort to make the 21st
of June a day that will leave its
impress upon the mind of every
man, woman and child who will be
present. On that day Lafayette
should put on its Sunday clothes.
Let flags and bunting wave over the
town Let the national colors bear
mute testimony to the peoples re-
joicing, for there is surely good
cause for it.

Will Use Meters.

The City Council has decided to
use light and water meters. Ten of
the former and twenty of the latter
have already been bought. By the
use of meters the Council expects
to eoualize matters. Without the
use Of meters it is impossible to fix
a tariff of rates upon an intelligent
basis. AS it now is there is great
waste of light and water, particu-
larly of the latter. It is well known
that there are some people who use
the hydrants without any regard for
the burden which they unnecessarily
impose upon the town. AS fuel is
the main item of expense, by COM
polling the people to pay in proper
ton to the quantity of water and
light consumed, the cost of running
the plant will no doubt be consider
ably reduced. The water meters
cost 50. so and the prices for light
meters range from $1S to $50.
These prices are exclusive of
freight. Of course, it will be some
time before the town will have
enough meters to supply all the
patrons of the plant.

Examination Of Justices.

The examining committee Of the
School Board met last Monday and
announced the result of its exami-
nation of the justices of the peace.
There was difference Of opinion
as to the qualifications of six OF the
candidates. Messrs. Guilbeau and
Ducote were of the opinion that the
candidates we're all qualified under
the law and should be given certi-
fcates. Mr.. Caffery did not agree
with them as to six of the candidates.
Mr.. Caffery joined Messrs. Du-
cote and Guilbeau in signing the
certificates for the following justices
Gustave Mouton, Hugh Wagner,
Galbert Bienvenu, Frank Abbadie.
He refused to sign the certificates
of Messrs. H. l.. Monnier, Ovey
Savoy, Edward Parent and J. J.
Cousson on the ground that they
had acquired property since the
election. He withheld his sigma
ture from the certificates of Messrs.
Verrot and Breaux because he was
Of the opinion that they had failed
IN the educational test.
AS a result of the examination

the qualifications of six of the can
didates are certified to by two mem
bers, majority OF the committee

CATHOLIC MISSION
Will Begin Sunday. June 3
Fathers O'COnnOr and LeOtier
VIII Preach.

Daring fifteen DAYS beginnins on
Sunday, the sd of june, there will
be a mission at the Catholic church..
Two eloquent Jesuit missionaries,
Fathers O'Connor and Leotier, will
preach; one will speak in English
and the other in French
On the 9th of June the large
cross, which has recently been
placed IL the cemetery, will be
blessed. On this occasion both
Fathers O,Connor and Leotier will
preach in the cemetery. AS 1t is
expected that large number of
people will be present it has been
decided to serve meals under the
trees on the church green. What
ever money is realized in this man
ner will be turned over to the
cemetery fund.
The Catholics Of the parish are
looking forward to the approaching
mission with pleasurable anticipa-
tions. Fathers O'Connor and
Leotier are widely known as two
of the most eloquent orators and
learned theologians in the diocese
and it is safe to say that very large
congregations will listen to their
daily discourses on the word OF
God.

In it's decision on the inheritance
tax, imposed by the war tax bill,
the Supreme Court recognized GER
tain principles that will be of i'm
portance when the question OF an
income tax comes up again. 1t at
firmed the, constitutionality OF the
grading principle established BY the
inheritance tax. The tax, IN the
first place, is determined by the de-
grees of kinship, and then is graded
according to the value of the legacy.
Uniformity of taxation was decided
to mean geogra phical uniformity
and not that taxes should be IN

THE CLARK CASE.
VIM. Berne Repeats Alleged Remarks
of Whiteside.

State Senator Tierney of Montana con-
tinued his testimony In the Clark case be-
fore the Senate committee on elections to-
day. He said he had never been asked to
vote for Mr.. Clark for the United States
Senate. and had, therefore, never been Of
fered any consideration for his vote for
that gentleman.
He gave details of the organization of
the Townsend Bank. in which he had
stock, and explained where he obtained the
money for 1t.
In response to a question from Senator
Chandler, the witness said that notwith-
standing he knew there We're aspersions
cast upon his character because of his vote
for Mr.. Clark. he had brought no paper of
any kind with him to show whence the
soSo used IN organizing the Townsend
bank had come.
The questioning brought out the fact
that both Eversoll and Representative
Shoveltn, who, together with Mr.. Tierney,
constituted the whole legislative delegation
from Broadwater county, were stockhold-
ers In the new Townsend bank.
Mr. Berne, a ranchman of Columbia
Falls who said he had formerly worked in
one of Mr.. Days mines at Butte, testified
to being sent by men connected with Mr..
DAILY to Flathead county during the legis-
latfve election of 1898 to assist Mr. White
side in his race for the state senate. On
the train out from Columbia Falls he said
he had had talk with Whiteside, and that
the latter had told him that Senator Clark
had sent money into the county to be used
against him, adding that ''he would get
even with Clark if it ever came his way
for bucking him in his election
Mr. Whteside had said he would Job
Clark TO a fare-you-well. Again in Helena
after the legislature met he asked Mr.
Whiteside for some money.
Mr.. Whiteside replied said the wit
ness, that he had only 81. though few
weeks before he had had $4,000 in his
pockets, but that as it had not been his he
had turned it over to the state. He said
he had been offered 100000 to leave the
town. l told him." continued the witness
that he was a id fool for not keeping
the money, but he replied that he could
make more out of the other side-out Of
Daly-by turning the money over"
On cross examination the witness said he
had thought that Whiteside had meant that
he could not only get the 100000 for ieav-
ing, but he could also keep the $50, 600 He
added that Mr.. Whiteside had loaned him
50 of the 81 he had on hand and that he had
paid the amount back
Adjourned until Monday
