We see by the Morgan City
papers that the Jewish cOngrega-
ton have their new Synagogue
nearly completed and it is declared
to be a fine and creditable build
ing.
There was movement here some
years ago to build Synagogue,
but it has been allowed to sleep
now a long time. Is it not about
time to wake up the enterprises
We are sure that our Jewish
friends here are as we'll TODD, as
liberal, and as devout as those of
the Morgan City congregation.
Il is to be hoped that the matter
will be taken up again and that
the lot purchased as site will be
adorned with a creditable build.

The jail Delivery.

Last Tuesday night, between
ten and eleven o'clock, Jos Breaux
and VIM Anderson, two prisoners
of the Parish Jail, called Sheriff
Henderson at his lone and IN
formed him that under the leader
ship of Sampson johnson the jail
had been broken open and several
prisoners had escaped.
It seems that when Mr.. Sam
Points, the Deputy Sheriff ana
Jailer, made his rounds III the
evening to lock up, johnson asked
how his appeal was progressing
He was informed that it had that
day been denied. She prisoners
we're ordered into the large cage
in the rear part of the Jail, on the
ground floor; the cage was bolted
and locked, and Mr., Points re-
tired.
Johnson had by some means
gotten a piece of gaspipe about 2
feet long and managed to conceal
it in his cell. After night fall
and all was quiet he brought out
his piece of pipe and started to
work IN dead earnest. The over
head ceiling near one of the
corners proved vulnerable and an
opening was soon effected large
enough to admit the passage of
his body. The others followed in
his wake. The prisoners were
then i'm the corridor. With his
piece of pipe in hand johnson
started his attack on the Jail wall
near the east window, facing to
wards the Market. The brick
work yielded without much resis
lance and he was soon outside the
walls. The stOckade walls were

WHAT HE WANTED.
Echoes of the White House Con-
ference Called Last Week.

Washington, Feb. 17.-Legislation in con-
gress which includes relief for Cuba is
said to have been the subject of the i'm
portant conference held at the White
House last week.
The president talked to the party lead
ers for nearly two hours, and after get
ting some idea from them as to the legis-
lative programme, told them frankly tina t
the question of concessions to Cuba was
the most important of ALL and that it was
the desire of the administration that it
be brought to the front at once.
Mr.. Roosevelt told them further that
unless the leaders showed some disposition
for immediate action he would send to
ton to the immediate necessity of the case
and urging speedy legislation. He i'm
of the country and the suffering and des-
titution that would result from further
delay.
The senators and representatives who
participated in the conference were quite
him that while relief for Cuba, in some
practical form, was almost sure to come,
as the high protectionists of the house
were of the present frame of mind.
While the president listened TO all this
ficulties in the legislative branch he could
not see any good reason for further delay
after the passage of the war tax repeal
bill, and still again insisted upon immedi-
ate action.
When the Cuban question was disposed
of the president took up the Schley case.
This was most eXhaustively considered.
The president read his decision to the
members of congress who We're with him
and explained his reasons for each view
presented. From one of the men who par
ticipated in the conference it was learned
that the decision will be a disappointment
to Rear Admiral Schley and to his
friends.
The fact that Admiral Schley was al
lowed to remain in command after the ar
rival of Rear Admiral Sampson at Santa
go shows, in the opinion of the president
that his diatory conduct was condoned,
n i'm for hir
behavior while in independent command
of the flying squadron, has passed. The
president holds that Rear Admiral Samp-
son was in supreme command and that

AS FUNSTON SAYS
Gov. Taft Agrees With the
Kansas Warrior
On the Course to Be Pursued in
the Philippines.

Washington Feb. 17.--Governor Taft,
in his testimony before the senate COM
mittee on the Philippines today stated
more succinctly than he has heretofore
done, his theory-which is he said also
the theory of the Philippine commission
AS to what congress should do in the
way of supplying the Philippine people
with form of government. His plan is
first to give the people a qualified suf-
frage with gradual growth in popular
government, which should be enlarged
through education in the English lang
uage and in American institutions
Second, to institute within a reasonably
short time a local legislature to consist
of two bodies one to be chosen by vote
and the other to be appointive; third, to
permit the Islands to send two or three
representatives to Washington.
In reply to questions, Governor Taft
said he agreed with General Funston
that the establishment of q popular as
semblage would give opportunity to
demagogues to stir up the people. but
that he did not include in this designa-
ton, all persons who are opposed to
American control. There are he said.
many men in the islands who conscien-
tiouSly oppose the. domination of the
United States. To grant independence
would he thought have the effect of con-
signing the 80 per cent of uneducated
people in the islands to the same ServiIe
position they held under Spanish rule.
He thought there should be a declara-
ton on the part of the United States of
its intention to hold the islands indef-
initely with the understanding that when
they are suitable for such a condition
that they be given a quasi independence.
Such a pronouncement by this country
would be welcomed by many and would
do much good. Many of the common
people, do not he said, know the differ
ence between independence and depend
ence and many of the better informed
have not followed the agitation for in
dependence to its last analysis. Some
of the agitators seem, he said, to count
upon a protectorate by the United
States If the government of the ISL
ands should now be turned over to the
islanders themselves, there would be
nothing less than an absolute oligarchy,
they having no idea of civil government.
