The Pollution of the Teche

Some five parties were arraigned
last week before the United States
District Court at New Orleans charged
with polluting the waters Of the Teche
by draining the washing from the
sugar refineries into the stream. A
number of witnesses from this section
were summoned to testify at the
trials
Two of the cases were tried in which
the owners of Vida and Morbian re-
fineries were made defendants. The
evidence, as reported to us,given DR. by
w. J. Emmer, Parish Health Officer.
to the effect that the washings com
planned of were not poisOnous-that
he even drank OF them and found
them not harmful-was the principal
evidence leading the juries to acquit
the parties charged. The District
Attorney then dismissed the remain
ing cases as they would be weighed
by the testimony given in the first two.
However correct the testimony OF
DR.. Emmer may have been, the an
nual pollution Of the waters Of the
Teche, coincident with the operation of
the refineries, is decidedly remarkable
and puzzling If It to be associated as
cause and effect. The facts remain
that when the refineries are opera
ting. especially during dry season
when there is but little current in
the Teche, stock will refuse to drink
the water, even when thirsty; the
fish of the stream come gasping to the
surface and edges Of the bayou and
finally die; engineers who have to use
the bayou water in their boilers. com

bayou during these periods, is per-

Engineers have stated that there
were remarkable corrosions to the
brasses and all cast-iron parts of their
engines coming in contact with the
steam generated from the water
Some years ago bottle was filled
with the water flowing in a ditch from
one Of the refineries into the Teche
After being kept for few days in the

torially commented on this phe nome
non at the time. suggesting that the
refiners we're allowing great CONNER
cial values to 60 to waste; that If the
washings contained no deleterious
agents or substances it could be filter
ed through mat OF bagasse, barreled,
stored till fermentation was complete
and then marketed as Louisiana
Sugar Cane Vinegar"
The converting of the bayou annu-
ally into vinegar factory may be the
cause of all the trouble without the
presence of any poisonous agents.

CHANGE OF VENUE
Senator Butt Will Be Tried in, n,Perry
County.

Little Rock, Sept. 29-In the first
division of the circuit court yesterday,
Judge Lee presiding, Senator F. o.
Butt of Carroll county, who is under
indictment, charged with having given
bribe of 500 to Senator r. R.
Adams CT Saline county in connection
with the state capitol bill during the
sessions of the last legislature. filed
a motion, through his attorney, Col.
Sellers of Morrilton, for a change of
venue from Pulaski county, alleging
that the minds of the people of Nhis
county were so prejudiced against him
that he could not obtain fair and i'm
partial trial here.
Butt waived examination and plead
ed not guilty to the charge against
him. A change of venue to Perry coun-
ty was granted.
Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton did
not contest the motion for change of
venue and was not in court when the
motion was filed.

Judge Grace Talks.

At the conclusion of Dr. Caldwells S
talk, there were loud calls for Judge
A. B. Grace. who occupied conspic-
uous place in the assembly and had
been one of the most attentive listen
ers throughout. After some persua-
sion, Judge Grace arose. and stated
that up to this time he had been one
of the most ardent opponents of the
free bridge proposition, under the
former terms of the proposition. He
had listened attentively to the
statements of the present one, and he
was ready to declare that he would
support the proposition: he was heart
lily in favor of building the bridge un-
der the proposition made by the Pine
Bluff North and South railway compa-
ny. This declaration was greeted with
loud applause.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1905-09-29
Mayor White for It.

Gen, H. King White was also called
upon for an expression, and stated
that he had always been in fav,s :, vr d
free bridge. In fact he was in favor
Of everything else that was free. He
knew of several parties who were
willing to erect toll bridge without
a cents cost to the county, but he
was opposed to toll bridge. He be-
lieved the present proposition a good
one, and would advocate 1t.
Attorney w. T. Young moved that
Judge Grace be added to the commit
tee to appear before the levying court
next Monday The motion carried.
Dr. Orto again took the floor, and
said he wished to make a further
statement that the company would ask
for no bonuses; that in fact the coun-
~ would never have to pay any more
bonuses to get similar enterprises. if
the free bridge were built. Such a
thing as county owning and main
tanning wagon and railway bridge
was something unheard of in this
section of the country. and would be
an inducement to other roads to enter
the city The present company asked
no monopoly of the bridge, and when
any other road proposed to enter Pine
Bluff, the mere fact that it would have
bridge already built would be suffi.
cient inducement for it to come this
way, regardless of whether the city of.
fered cash bonus or not.
j. M. Hudson stated that he was
not opposing the present plans for
free bridge, but that it would be fool
ish to ask the levying court for an an.
preparation of $3.50. 900 for the same.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1905-09-29
Ask No Bonus.

For verification of the statement
that the company had ample financial
backing, DR.. Orto called upon Mr..
Henderson to make a statement. Mr..
Henderson stated that he and his as.
sociates had been engaged in railroad
building for the past seventeen years
and during that time had never lost a.
dollar on any project they had ever
undertaken. They had built. in all,
367 miles of road. He had examined
carefully into the present prop sition.
and was ready to state that the road
would have ample financial support
for It's completion and maintenance.
Personally he would rather carry the
road on into Memphis, but it seemed
to be the plans of the company to
Guild only to connection with the
Rock Island north of this place.
But while he represented sufficient
capital to build the road, it would be
out Of the question for short line
like this to erect bridge across the
river, and in this one point the CON-
pany would be compelled to ask for,
the assistance of the county. The
bridge would cost probably $25O,00O.
AS the county would some day have to
tuild free bridge anyway, he could
see no reason why the enterprise
should not be taken up at this time,

Rosh HashOna, the Hebrew New

here tonight and tomorrow, when spe-
cial services will be held at Temple
Anshe Emeth. This religious HOLIDAY
will be followed by the ten penitential
days, concluding on October 8. with
Yom Ripper, the day of atonement.
The Jewish New Year is rather a
peculiar one, and may consist of from
353 to 3S5 days, and its calendar is
further complicated in order that the
fixed feasts may not fall upon certain
days and thus avoid interference with
the peculiar ceremonies of each.

Sunday.
The year just closing is a leap wear.
and consequently Rosh Hashona will
fail upon September 80, instead of the
10th or the 18th, as is usual. If the
new moon falls on Sunday or the first
day of the week, which might, in the
regular order of things, be New
Years Day, the day following would
be the first of the year. Therefore, in
order that the feast days may not
be intefefred with, the Jewish New
fear Day must not fall on Sunday,
Wednesday or Friday. To keep the
year in, its place, however, changes
are made in the two months, March
