The ThibOdaux Sentinel takes issue
with the Colfax Chronicle with re-
gard to the election law Of this State
In the following:
1.-THE Chronicles condemnation OF
the primary election Is as sweeping
as 1t is possible to make 1t In the Eng
lish language; and 1t IL unjust as it is
intended to be witherfng In it's denun
ciation. Indeed, 1t Is 30 unjust and
ill-founded that 1t has the character
istics OF a wild attack made by one
who has either never read the law, or,
having read 1t, hae forgotten its pro-
visions or grossly mlscOnceived their
import.
I'VE have q travesty," says the
Chronicle, that some suppose IL q
law. 1t cannot be enforced, nor is
there any penalty attached to its vio-
latiOn."
e "A truly wonderful statement is
that contained In the last sentence,
and It passes our rcOmprehenslon how
any one who has ever read the -pri-
mary election law could ever make It
and set 1t In cold type.
1.-The fact is the law can be enforc-
ed, at the option Of the governing
body OF any recognized political par
ty In the State; and when a party
decides upon q primary election to
make nominations. then that election
must be held under the provisions oi
the primary election law (Act 133 OF
19O0).
Nov, the proper observance Of
these provisions In their minutest de-
tails Is saieguarded and sanctioned
by fine of not less than &25 nor
more than $500, or by imprisonment
in the parish Jail for not less than ten
days nor more than three months, on
both. at the discretion OF the court.
and by deprivation Of the privilege oi
taking part In any manner. shape or
form In any primary election held
within four years from date Of con-
viction for violation OF the law, and,
futher, by disqualification during the
same period to hold any Office in this
State elective or appointive.
''Such IL the penalty for illegal vot-
ing In the primary election by any
one not possessing the prescribed
qualifications, Of q voter. (See sec-
tion 81.
''Such, the penalty fST any one who

Cases Against Lehman and Faux
her Are Remanded.

ST. LOUIS, May 2O.-Division No. 2 CT
the supreme court at Jefferson City, IN
opinions rendered by Judge Cent yes
teTday. reversed and remanded the cases
of the St. Louis court against Julius
lehman and Henry A Faulkner. for
mer members of the house OF dele
gates. who were charged with perjury.
Judges James d. Fox and c. d. Bur
CESS, the other two justices of Division
of the court, concur with Judge Cent
in the opinion.
The supreme court ruling in the two
cases has no bearing on the cases of
Edmund Bersch, Charles f. Kelly,
Charles J. Denny. and other former
delegates who have since been convict
ed of perjury in the suburban Doodle
case. and whose appeals are now pend
ing.
The conviction of Lehman and
Faulkner were obtained before the re-
turn OF J. K. Murren from Mexico, and
were based on the unsupported testl-
mony of Attorney Paul Reiss. In each
of the perjury cases tried since Muir
rell's return not less than three of the
former colleagues of the accused men
have appeared as State witnesses.

weeks at Bay Pond, where the principal
buildings of the Rockefeller preserve are
located. All around Their, ranging from
a distance Of two miles TO twenty from
the main camps, forest fires have been
raging for twenty-five days. AT times

seemed to light up the horizon
everywhere about them, showing that
they are indeed within a circle OF fire.
Mr.. Rockefeller has about a hundred
and fifty men fighting the flames and has
al times joined in the battle himself.
The forest fires sprang Up in several
places on the preserve, which includes
upward OF one hundred thousand acres.
Some of them may have been of incen-
diary origin. but the greater number
came from the locomotives on the New
York and Ottawa Railroad.
