GOWN Rice Bill Passed.

r. n. Sims received cablegram
from Havana Wednesday of last week
informing him that by vote of "a to
10 the Cuban house of representatives
had passed the Gown bill increasing
the duty on rice and various other food
imports. The passage Of the bill by
the senate is assured, and as Presi-
dent Palma is distinctly friendly to
the United States and has repeatedly
promised TO sign the bill, its early in
corpor alton into a statute is regarded
as certainty. The bill increases the
duty on rice from s1.2O per hundred
kilos, the present rate, to 1915, but
under the reciprocity treaty entered
into between the United States and
Cuba rice from this country will be
admitted at a reduction OF 40 per cent,
or S1.65 per hundred kilos. This re-
duction in duty will give American
rice a marked advantage over that
imported from Europe and India, and
will have the effect of greatly stimu-
latlng the industry in Louisiana
and Texas, where the greater part of
the rice produced in this country is
raised. The Gown bill has been pend
ing before the Cuban congress for
nine months, and during that time
Mr.. Sims and G. c. Duson, of Crow
ley, made several visits to Havana in
the interest of the measure as the rep
resentatives of the Rice Association
of America and the Texas and Lou
isiana Rice Millers and Distributors
Association. The final passage Of
the bill is a distinct compliment to
the ability of Messrs. Sims and Du-
son, and The Chief takes pleasure in
extending hearty congratulations to
these interchangeable workers over the
splendid victory they have achieved
and the great benefit they have been
instrumental in having bestowed on
the rice industry Of America in gen.
eral and Louisiana and Texas in
particular.

Over $1,000.


The grand fete champetre and fourth

Monday and Tuesday under the aus

ceeded by far the most sanguine ex-

suits achieved and the net amount
realized. Not single. unpleasant in

their orderliness and good spirits.
The first special feature of the big
entertainment was an Indian minstrel
performance Sunday night, in which
a number of local amateurs per-
formed various stunts that greatly
pleased a fair-sized audience. Hon.
r. f. Broussard was scheduled to de-
liver an address in Louisiana Square
atl1 O'Clock a. m. Tuesday, but ow-
ing to the serious illness of his father
Mr.. Broussard was prevented from
coming to Donaldsonville and this
feature Of the program was perforce
omitted, much to the regret of the man
| ayers Of the celebration and the large
crowd that had anticipated hearing
Mr.. Broussard speak. Tuesday after
noon baseball game was played at
Cleveland Park between the Pelicans,
of jacksonville and the ST. Thomas
team Of Assumption, the locals win
ming in a canter by the score of to 4.
AT 6 O'Clock the superb flower par ade
occurred, bringing to an end the series
Of interesting special features that had
been arranged in connection with the
big celebr alton.
The lions share Of the credit for the
success Of the entertainment is due to
r. N. Sims and Henry Schaff, Sr.,
who had charge of the general ar
arrangements, and to Mrs. r. N. Sims
and Mrs. L. M. Turner, organizers of
the ladies auxiliary committee which
rendered such invaluable aid in ar
ranging and conducting the various
booths and attractions at Ascension

Death of DIR. j. J. Claverle.

DR.. J. J. Claverie, native of
France but for many years resident
Of Donaldsonville, died 7:3O o'clock
p. N. Monday at the residence of Frank
Peyreftte, aged Is years. DR.. Clave-
RE had been Ill for about six weeks,
and his condition for ten days prior
to his death was such as to preclude
all hope of his recovery. Tuesday
morning the remains were removed to
the residence of 2. Leo B1anch ard, a
brother-in-law of the deceased, from
whence the funeral was conducted at 3
O'Clock the same afternoon. 1nterment
was made in the Catholic cemetery,
after services at the church conducted
by Rev. Father Crozier. DR.. Claverie
was a praetieing physician in this
town for a long number Of years, and
enjoyed the highest esteem and respect
of a wide circle of friends. He was
elected first vice president Of the Bank
of Ascension when that institution was
organized several years ago, and sub
sequently he established and became
president Of the Peoples Bank. Last
year DR.. Claverie removed with his
wife TO Baltimore and made his home
with his son-in-law, Henry Wilson,
formerly manager of the Palo Alto
plantation in this parish but now
owner Of farm on the outskirts Of
baltimore. The severity of the Mary
l.4t winter climate proved too great a
tax on DR.. Claverie's waning strength,
and he and his wife returned to DON
aldsonville several months ago and
took up their residence with Mrs. Ell.
w. Barton, later removing to the
home OF Frank Peyreftte, where the
doctor was finally overtaken by the
grim reaper. Beside shis devoted wife,
DR.. Claverie is survived by two chill
dren, DIR. Arthur Claverie and Mrs.
Henry Wilson, both Of Baltimore, and
large number of other relatives, to
whom The Chief begs leave to tender
assurance of deepest sympathy.
