deficiencies in existing statutes
or to meet exigencies that had
arisen with the growth and de-
velOpment of the State and it's
varied interests. By their vote
in electing Judge Blanchard,
the people of Louisiana indicated
Enthusiastically their desire to
move forward cOnservatively in
the matter of making changes in
the political system of the State:
and while there was much
clamor in certain quarters for
radical action in this respect, the
General Assembly, in our judg-
ment, acted wisely in proceeding
about this important business
with deliberate conservatism.
Several positions were made
directly elective, which are now
appOintive, and amendments to
the Constitution we're proposed
for submission providing for
making elective other now ap-
pointive Offices and for filling by
election vacancies tina; occur in
offices already elective, but va
cancies which are now filled by
appointment. These, and all the
other amendments which will be
submitted to the electors in No.
vember, should be carefully
studied by the people of the
State so that an intelligent and
discriminating Judgment can be
registered at the polls. Other
questions along this
line, together with the PROPOSE
ton to make nominations by the
primary method compulsory up
on the political parties of the
were wisely deferred for
consideration by the nextsession,
years hence.
On the whole, and while not
wishing to be understood as ia
all that was done. the
States believes the session just
ended accomplished a great
mount of excellent work. The
presiding officers of the two
lOuses. Lieutenant Governor
of the Senate, and +:
Speaker Snyder of the House.,
bowed marked ability, impartial
ty and wisdom, both in the Sc
ectiOn of committees and in their
parliamentary decisions, as we'll

With which they directed the
proceedings of their respective
Ouses. Indeed it was largely
ne to their experience and
that the work of the ses-
which at one time taxed the
apacity of the Legislature, was Il.
.mpleted in such good order,
nd the calendars were practic-
lily cleared three days before the
institutional limitation of the n

secured brings out a new incident Of
the train hold-up. When the gun of
Frank Rockwell, the guard. failed to
explode the cartridge and he was
compelled to surrender the bandits
stood Rockwell against the wall of the
express car while they made prepara-
tions to dynamite the safe. One of
the robbers leaned his rife against
the wall near Rothwell. The guard
cautiously moved his foot along until
1t came in contact with the butt of the
weapon. causing it to fall to the floor.
The robbers noticed it fall. but did not
realize that Rockwell had caused it
to fall. After the fuse had been
lighted and the robbers were filing
out of the car one of them. who had
laid down his gun, picked up Roth
wells, which was still leaning against
, the wall. That was just what Rock
we'll had hoped for. The bandits
rife was not injured by the explosion
and is in the hands of the officers. 1t
is said to be an extraordinary rifle,
but it's possession may lead to the
identity of the bandit owner being es-
tablished.

BANDITS ELUDE
THE OFFICERS
No Trace Is Found of the
Three Robbers Who Held
Up the Train at COpley

REDDING, April 2.-The trip of the
officers north on the railroad this aft
ernoon resulted in proving to their sat-
isfaction that the bandits who held up
the Oregon express at Copley Thurs
day night and killed Messenger ONeH
are the same thugs who held up fifteen
men in Dave Endicotts saloon at Ken
nett, twenty miles north of here. on
March 20. In the party that made the
trip were Railroad Dete ctives William
Ahern and A. w. O'Brien Sheriff j. l..
Richardson and Deputies George Wiley,
W. W. Wheeler and A. M. Carpenter.
They went as far north as Kennett
and returned to ReGding without any
prisoners.
The officers say that a dozen differ
eEt persons had told them circum-
stances that seemed to point strongly
to three men living near Kennett being
the train robbers, but an investigation
to-day showed conclusively that the
suspects could not have been concerned
in it. The trip to Kennett, however.
while precluding the necessity of the
arrest that the officers expected to make
when the- left here, showed conclu-
siyely to the mind of Detective Ahern
that the three robbers who held up the
J5ndicott saloon at Kennett on Marcn
20 are the same men who killed Mes
senger O'Neil at Copley on Thursday
night Ahern said this evening that he
is confident that the crimes were COM
mitted by the same gang. There are a
number of reasons, he said. for arriv-
ing at that conclusion. Chief among
them is the abundance of profanity
that the men used in both hold-ups.
While at kennett to-day Detective
Ahern had a long talk with M. E. Ar
righini. the bartender who was on duty
when the saloon was robbed, and from
him learned that the leader in that
robbery gave his commands in sharp.

train robbery; that the smallest man

profanity and ~'as most severe in his

gave him a good description of the
saloon robbers and he is confident
they we're also the train robbers.
Nothing has yet been learned. accord

secured the giant powder with which
they blew up the express car. If that
could be learned the identity of the

point not heretofore given out to the

the weapons used by the bandits. 1t

MAKES ATTACK
ON CONTRACTOR
Attorney E. NJ. Rea of San
Jose Administers Punish
ment to George w. Elder

SAN JOSE, April "A fistic en-
counter between Attorney Ed M. Rea
of the San Jose and Los Gatos electric
railway and George w. Elder, the con-
tractor of the road, occurred this morn
ing at the corner of Santa Clara and
Market streets. The trouble. grew out
of the fact that the men employed on
the road have not been paid for the
last two months. Elder has been claim
ing that Attorney Rea had been the
means of stopping the payment of the
money by the company. When the men
met this morning Rea asked Elder If
he had made such a statement. Elder
entered a denial whereupon Dan Ryan,
politician, who was present, declared
that Elder had made such a statement
Rea then struck Elder in the face with
his right fist knocking him down.
Elder got up and Rea hit him again.
Elder declined to fight. Elders face
was badly cut.
A number of the workmen who have
been employed in the construction of
the Interurban road to-day maintained
a boycott against the electric line at
the corner Of Market and Santa Clara
streets. They carried an American flag,
and when passengers attempted to en-
ter car they We're asked not to do so,
as the road has not paid its employees.
The men say they have not been paid
for the last two months. The amount
due them is between $4,000 and $4,000.
They have engaged Attorneys W. A
Bowden and Z. l.. Rhodes to collect
their claims. Elder has the contract
for the construction of the San Jose
and Los Gatos Interurban Railway,
and has received rs per cent of the
amount due him for the work. The
other 25 per cent is held back for a
certain period in case liens should be
filed against the road for the construc-
ton. The road is completed with the
exception of a branch line from Sara
toga to Congress Springs. Elder has
been trying to get some of this 25 per
cent to pay the amount due his men,
but the company has refused to give
any of 1T TO him. The directors say
that at the proper time the money will
be paid.
