GRAND JURY ON
SCALPERS' TRAIL
Five Local Brokers Indicted for
Alleged Violation of State
Law.
Long Stop-overs in Minneapolis
Granted in Consideration of
Stopping scalpers.

A war of determination has been de-
cclared against railway ticket scalpers
In Minneapolis.
The grand jury today finished thoro
investigation of the scalping business
by returning indictments against five
prominent ticket brokers', and there is
widespread CONSERVATION in the ranks
OF the men who sell cut-rate transpor-
tation. Arrests will be made at once.
The true bills are drawn under the
1903 statute and charge the defendants
with selling tickets without license
from the secretary of state. The fee is
nominal, but no license is granted with
out the Endorsement of some railroad.
Thus the rigid enforcement of this new
law means the determination Of scalpers
and the realization of the railway COM
panies long cherished hopes.
The prosecution of the ticket brokers
is the direct result of pressure brought
to bear by the business men and mer-
chants of Minneapolis, who are planning
for great influx of flour city visitors
this summer. 1t means that all the
railroads will grant stop-over privileges
on their excursion tickets to the Port
land exposition, and that thousands of
travellers will spend few days and
more dollars in this city. a- L.
Never have the prospects for a heavy
brighter than this year. Thousands of
fasteners will take advantage of ex-
cursion rates to the Portland fair and
most Of them will pass thru Mime
apolis.
Believing that Minnesota's law
against ticket-scalpers would be en-
forced, the railroad companies have not
only made remarkably low thru rates to
the coast, but have prepared to make
cheap terminal rates to the twin cities
In view Of the fact that ticket
brokers were still violating that law
with apparent impunity, the railroads
announced that they would refuse to
give stop-over privileges for Minneap.
oils and st. Paul unless something was
done.
Wallce G.. >Nye, secretary Of the pub:

club and foreman Of the grand jury, is
in a particularly favorable position to
appreciate the value to Minneapolis of
these privileges. George V. B. Hill, an;

up the matter with enthusiasm. It was
placed before the grand jury and the
indictments resulted.

in the expansion of this the natural
correlative industry Of the South to
the erroneous idea that extensive and
costly plants only can be successfully
operated.
We can see no good reason why
small electric motors could not turn a
few looms and spindles in a good
sized room of a cheap building, and
give pleasant and steady employment
and living wages to as few as six or
twelve girls or women, who, under
present conditions, find more or less
tdit1iculty to earn living in the
| Southern communities where they
reside. For these small manufactures
there would be no need to import
| operatives from other places, as their
capacity and the cost of these manu-
features would be regulated by the
number of operatives that the locality
could furnish.
A few thousand dollars would suf-
flee to start and operate manufactures
Of this kind, but in the aggregate the
quantity of cloths they would turn
out annuity would go on increasing
the demand for the raw cotton and
compel the now dictatorially inclined
great manufactures in this country
and abroad to cheerfully pay more for
it to the cotton grower than they are
disposed to do.
Electric motors are used to operate
street and railway cars, elevators,
printing presses, sewing and may
other sorts of machines. Why can
they not be used as we'll for these
small cotton manufactures
Louisiana is producing any quaint
ty of cheap fuel oil with which the
electric power can be generated at the
lowest cost.
We submit that the Legislature
could not appropriate to greater ad-
vantage to the people in general, a
moderate sum to equip small textile

any more beneficial Industrial art be

THE FEVER SITUATION.

Last Tuesday morning Drs. SABA

ing pronounced the cases OF Fever al
the homes of Hon. Walter }. Burke
and Mr.. III. G. Brooks, yellow fever
the Health Officer Of New Iberia Dr.
Sanders, at once quarantined the dis
trict in which the cases is located
commencing at Prairie Ave. knights
store) and extending east to Lewis
Avenue. bounded ON the north by
Bayou Teche on the South by Rail
road. No one living in that district
was allowed egress and those absent
uptown were ordered to their homes
bv the Chief of Police, orders in
which all cheerfully acquiesced.
Fumigation of every house in the dis
trict was performed last Thursday
all the yards and streets were
thoroughly oiled and every necessary
sanitary measure was Immediately
put in vogue. The cases to Thursday
numbering eleven. One at the home
of Mr.. r. F. Hogsett, his little
daughter Ruth, being stricken; four
of the children of Mr.. Burke; five III
the family of Mr.. G. L. Guess and
one of the children of Mr.. Rene Della
houssaye, all doing we'll up to this
writing. Iteis thought that with an
intelligent fight at all points the few
er can be restricted to the district
where it has appeared.
The very low temperature OF We'd
nesday and Thursday mornings gives
the hope that frost will soon occur
and end the whole matter. At any
rate the appearance of the fever at
this date does not alarm, as the frost
date cannot be very far distant. Our
people are taking the matter philoso-
phically and after the first fury OF ex-
element, have settled down to stern
fight and of hearty cooperation with
the Health Authorities. Under these
conditions it is not thought that the
fever will spread.
The Parish Health officials have
instituted quarantine against the City
of New Iberia temporarily, and it no
further developments occur, and we
show them that the cases in New
Iberia are isolated, we sincerely be-
lieve that they will raise the quaran-
tine by next Friday, if not sooner.
Since writing the above. Hon. WI.
Burke has been taken with the fever
though not yet diagnosed as Yellow
Fever.
