IH0nn'f tOWU0HY
Gentlemen:
In response to your request
that we examine into and report
upon the feasibility and economy
of constructing ship channel
through the Atchafalaya Bay
from the mouth Of the Atchafa.
laya river to deep water in the
Gulf, we beg leave to submit The
following statement Of facts as
observed 10y ourselves and others
and deductions drawn therefrom.
In pursuance Of this object,
a reconnaissance of the Atchafa
laya River and Bay from Morgan
City to the Gulf was first made
by us, with the view of becoming
acquainted with present c'ndi-
tions, and charts of Mobile, Gulf
port. New Orleans, Sabine and
Galveston harbors were studied.
Because of the fact that the
situation at Gu!fport seemed to
more nearly parallel that at At
chafalaya. an inspection thereof
was made and data obtained
These studies, together with
seven years experience in shil
channel construction, and a
rather intimate knowledge Of the
topography of alluvial Louisiana
and Of dredging in this vicinity,
enable us to present with some
degree of assurance, the views
expressed herein.
The AtchafaIaya has it's origin
in the Mississippi River about lM
miles above Morgan City, and its
mouth in the Atchafalaya Bay
about lS miles below Morgan City
Between these extremes it branch
es out into a network of smaller
streams, spreading over a large
territory of swamp and shallow
lakes, wherein it loses it's indivi
duality and even it's name. After
| passing through this great tilte1
bed az it were and dropping
large part of its silt, the water
from this basin finally cOnverge'

Purity and cieanneSs are essential for
healthful beer. just they are essen
tial for any other healthful food. And
purity and cleanness are watchwords
in the great Pabst brewery at Mil
waukee. Only the finest of malt and
hops are used, and the whole Pabst
process is a revelation of scientific
progress. the result of sixty years pur-
suit of all the best known methods in
the science of brewing. A most inn
portant feature of the Pabst Brewing
process IS the Pabst method OF making
malt. 1t requires eight days and doubles
the expense OF the old four-day method
still used IN many breweries, but the
eight-day Pabst process is the only pro-
cess by which perfect malt can be
made Absolute cleanliness distin-
guishes the entire Pabst process, and
the Pabst Blue Ribbon label is a guar
antee of purity. The name Pabst always
stands for purity, cleanliness and the

Committee or Housing Thinks Measure
Safely Protects Owners From Un-
fair Condemnation.

At a meeting OF the committee on the
Improvement OF housing conditions in
the office OF the Associated Charities.
yesterday afternoon, the committee dis
eussed the status OF the House bill for
the Appointment OF u commission for the
condemnation OF insanitary houses.
This bill aims to force the repair or re-
moval Of houses which by their filthy
condition are causing sickness and
death. The measure has the indorse-
ment Of the Commissioners, who for
years have been urging its passage.
II Is framed, the committee thinks. to
protect the owners of property from IN
just action on the part Of the condemn
ing board. as twenty days are given the
owners 10 show cause why a building
should not be condemned, and after that
thirty days must pass before the build
ing need be vacated. II is further prO-
vided that II satisfactory repairs are
maue the order Of condemnation shall
be Cancelled.

COURT AFTER LAWYER
ON CONTEMPT CHARGE
Frank r. Ksrs Not Present When Case
Of Client Was Called Up
for Trial

Frank r. Keys, a member Of the Dis
trict bar, is required BY a rule issued
this morning by Judge Klmban. sitting
in Police Court, to appear IN that
tribunal tomorrow and show cause why
he should not be punished for contempt
Mr.. Keys represented Gertrude How
land, woman charged with shoplift-
ing on nine separate occasions, but
when the case was called 70 trial the
lawyer failed to appear.
On Friday Mr.. Keys had demanded
trial BY jury for his client and Assist
ant District Attorney Frank Given then
announced III open court that the jury
trial would take place today.
THE court heard you make tire an
nouncement that the trial would take
place today" said Judge Kimball to
Mr.. Given. THE announcement was
made very plainly and distinctly and
don't see how there could have been
any mistake about II. 1 shall issue the
rule"
VERY well. your honor" replied Mr.
Given. who seemed 10 be perfectly re-
signed TO The course Of affairs taken.
The defendant is a woman perhaps
fifty years old. with gray hair and
rather refined and very intelligent ex-
preston. She was well dressed. though
if half the charges made against her
are borne out by the facts. this IS by
no means surprising. She might have
worn siIken gowns almost 10 the end Of
time.
All the articles alleged TO have been
stolen were handsome. and In most OF
the cases expensive. They varied in
nature from a pair Of shoes 70 a fur
coat.
For a time the woman seemed almost
persuaded 10 90 To trial without her
lawyer. Judge kimbali asked her If she
would be willing 10 let the case take
that course and her first answer was in
the affirmative. She modified this later
on and the case went over until to-
morrow.
Il am very inexperienced in such mat
tiers as this. she murmured. feebly-

Times had no success in finding him.

audience burst into storm of applause.

did his efforts were drowned IN the tu-
multi. IT was now late In the day, but
the spectators did not want 10 go.

The first question, following the con-
