Two Good nOveS.

The appointment by the Coun-
Gil of a sanitary officer and gar
bage man are two splendid
moves for which they deserve
commentator. Lafayette has
grown too large for the premises
to be allowed to be neglected,
and we are glad to see a sanitary
officer appointed whose duty will
be to see that premises and es-
pecially all closets are kept clean.
And we trust he will thoroughly
do his duty.
A garbage cart to remove all
waste and refuse has been badly
needed, and now that such a cart
has been provided, the sanitary
officer should see thatevery house
holder provides himself with a
barrel or box to place refuse in,
in a handy place for the cart to
get it.

About Centenary College.

The injunction suit involving
Centenary College will take place
in Clinton Louisiana on the fourth
day of next September. This
suit is to decide the legal ques-
ton as to whether Centenary
College can be moved from
Jackson.
In 1925 the State of Louisiana
established "The College of
Louisiana" at Jackson, Louisiana.
In 1645 the State sold this college
at public auction. Judge Ed
ward McGehee was the highest
bidder. He bought the college,
owned and managed it for three
years. He changed it's name to
The Centenary College of Louis
lana. He then appointed a board
of trustees and turned the col
lege over to them in trust-nOt
in ownership. He vested the
title to the college in this board.
This board is self-perpetuating
by electing members to fill
vacancies as they occur.
Eight members of the Board
believe that. they have neither
legal nor moral right to transfer
the college in order that it may
be moved. Judge McGehee
made no provision for the re-
moval of the college.
In December 1904, when the
Louisiana Annual Conference
met at Lake Charles, the board
of trustees. offered to transfer
the college to the Conference on
condition that the college remain
where it is and as it is. The
Conference refused to accept the
college on such condition and
passed a resolution stating that
if the Board of Trustees refused
to transfer the college without
the above condition suit would
be instituted and the Board be
compelled to do so. The Con-
ference appointed a committee
to confer with the Progressive
League of Shreveport. This
committee entered into an H.
legal contract with the Sbreve
port League. In this contract
Centenary was to be sold for
about half its value and moved to
Shreveport. To prevent this
sacrifice of one of the grandest
institutions of the South, the
eight members of the Board of
Trustees who believe that the
college should remain where it
was established by Judge Nc
Gehee, got out an Injunction.
The matter will be tested in
the courts on the fourth of next
September.
Centenary will open on the
thirteenth day of the coming
September, Notwithstanding the
report scattered far and wide by
some persons that Centenary
will open no more in Jackson.
For high Christian character and
class-work, Centenary
has recently closed one of her
most successful sessions. The
prospects for the session 1866
are good. President Miller is in
the field hunting boys" and
nearly every mail brings letters

Some of these inquiries
come from the Pacific States,
some from others who wish to

SUIT TO RECOVER CLAIM.
Ogden PelPs Proceedings Against Ma
thaniel Mckay Estate.

Legal proceedings in connection with the
estate of the late Col. Nathaniel Mckay
were instituted today in the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia, the complain
ant being Ogden Pell. He names Mabel
Grace Mckay and Henry F. Woodland,
Colonel Mckay, and others, defendants
Mr.. Pell, through Attorneys Henry E.
Davis and Stuart Mcnamara. explains that
he has claim against the estate amount
ing to $3S,213.57. and that his suit at law
to recover that amount is pending 1t Is
charged by the complainant that the ex-
ecutors and trustees are compromising and
preferring certain claims against the estate
and that the personal property will be
wholly inadequate to meet the obligations
which, it Is said amount to 100000 Ac-
cording to the complainant, the only fund
to which he and the other creditors can
resort is the real estate. Mr.. Pell declares
that no account is made of the rents and
profits of the real estate, nor is any dis
covery made by the executors and trustees
? to who collects the same. Such rents
and profits, it is added. would provide large
sums of money with which to pay claims of
creditors.
The complainant points out that 1t is
necessary for the court to prevent a trans
fer of the assets of the estate from the
reach of himself and the other creditor J.
and he asks that a receiver or receivers be
appointed to collect the rents and profits
and preserve the same contingent upon tho
settlement of the estate.

GUARD NOT NEEDED
TRANSPORTATION OF SPECIE AT
CHICAGO UNINTERRUPTED.

A Star reporter inquired of Assistant Sec
rotary Taylor of the Treasury Department
this morning what there was to the report
that the Treasury Department had asked
the War Department to take charge of the
transportation of government money from
the railroad stations in Chicago to the SUBJ
treasury there. Mr. Taylor replied that the
report was substantially correct, but that
he had not given out anything to the pa
pers, 1nasmuch as the necessity for the use
OF troops in transporting money had not
arisen.
Mr.. Taylor said that yesterday. when he
was acting secretary owing to the absence
of Mr.. Shaw public business In New
York, he received request from the vice
president and general manager of the
United States Express Company, which
company has contract for the transporta-
ton of government money, that military
protection be afforded their company In
Chicago owing to the fact that there was
a strike among the teamsters, and it was
thought the same condition existed as pre-
vailed in ST Louis last year, when 1t be-
ca me necessary to call for troops to deliver
the money from the railroad stations to the
subtreasury during the strike there among
the express drivers.
Mr.. Taylor says he called up Secretary
Taft and inquired of him whether in ca sc
1t was found impossible for the express
company to deliver the money with it's own
teams, the War Department would furnish
army wagons with escorts to make the de-
liverieS
Secretary Taft replied that he would COM
ply with the request, and would order the
military authorities in Chicago to be in
readiness on call, which it seems he did,
and which gave rise to the report published
today. Fortunately, the express company
was able to handle it's own business yester-
day, and there was no necessity for gov
eminent interference. What conditions may
prevail hereafter 1t Is impossible to tell
secretary Taft today received the fol-
lowing telegram. which he promptly trans
mitted to the Treasury Department, where
the offer created a favorable impression:
'The International Brotherhood OF Team
sters will furnish drivers with or without
compensation for all wagons doing govern
ment business. They will obey any orders
issued by any teamng contractor for the
United States government"
The telegram Is signed by Cornelius P.
Dhea, general president of the International
Brotherhood of Transfers

GOING TO HONOLULU.
Commissioner General Sargent Will In
spect Immigration Service.

Frank p Sargent, commissioner general
of immigration has gone to Chicago to
Inspect the immigration service station
there. He is expected back in Washing
ton Wednesday next and will then al
most Immediately leave for New Orleans
on similar errand. Following the latter
trip, he will prepare for a voyage to
Honolulu, sailing from San Francisco
June and returning to the United States
some time in August.
The new station of the immigration
service at Honolulu has recently been
completed and turned over to the gov

of the stations of the service, and Mr.
Sargent will give 1t a careful inspection.
The Chinese entering the port of Homo
lulu are almost numerous as those
coming to the California and Puget sound
ports. and the officials of the service have
always been scrupulously watchful of the
station there. Mr.. Sargent will see to it
that there is no laxity in this watchful-
ness and will make a careful observation
of every essential detail of the station,
with a view to recommending any
changes which may seem essential to the
Improvement of the service at that point.
