that this meeting will be made an in

NUMBER 25.


DR.. H. L. Ducrocq, who has
recently moved from Lafourche
Crossing to Lafayette, read an
Interesting paper before the
Alexandria health conference, in
which he pointedly called atten-
tion to LafOurche parish as a
center of danger to the rest of
Louisiana, owing to the negligible
manner in which the yellow
fever situation was managed in
that parish last summer. DR..
Stark. Health officer OF Lafourche
parish, denied the accuracy of
the statements made by DR..
Ducrocq. 4
DR.. Ducrocq's paper left the
impression that it would be the
part of wisdom for the State
Board Of Health to institute
careful and complete investiga-
ton of conditions in Lafourche
parish, and other yellow fever
infected points in Louisiana,
where the people were either
unwilling or unable to cope with
the disease last year. This will
no doubt be the policy of the
State Board, as it is under such
as these that the
truth of the old saying AN ounce
of preventive is worth ponnd
of cure" applies with particular
force.

49,
The delegates from Lafayette
who attended the health con-
ference at Alexandria last week
returned home well pleased, not
only with the work of the con.
ference, but with Alexandria's s
new high school building as
well. They speak in the highest
terms of the splendid interior
arrangement of the building from
the standpoint of comfort and
convenience, and its pleasing ar
chitectural appearance. The en-
tire delegation visited the build
ing in question and contented
themselves for the present, with
the hope that Lafayette would be
the proud possessor of a dupli-
cate of that school building at no
distant day.

at great risk; twenty-one miles of the canal is not sufficiently wide for two such ships to pass: currents caused by the regulation of the charges and by the flow of other streams into the ca nal and its many curves combine to in- crease the difficulties and dangers of navigation.
 Tn short, the sea-level canal recom- mended is not of sufficient capacity and depth to afford convenient passage for vessels of the largest tonnage and greatest depth and can be made so only by materially increasing the depth and width and at a considerable increase of time and money. If the suggested width of 150 to 200 feet is the greatest width economically permissible for 8 sea-leveI canal, the cost of the enlarge ment required must be prohibitive.
 Tt, therefore follows that the high level canal more fully meets the re- quirements of Congress.
 The estimate cost Is S247,021,0 1000 foi the sea level canal and $139,705,20 foi the 2s5 foot level canal, a difference oi $107. .000, ,000. The Isthmian Canal Com mission and the chief engineer regart the estimate for the sea level canal al 100 low by at least $25.000.000 for req sons stated in their reports.
 The estimated time for completing the sea level canal is stated by thu majority of the board is from twelv' to thirteen years, by the Isthmian Ca nal Commission and the chief engineer from eighteen to twenty years. Th' minority report estimates the time fol completing the high level canal a eight and one-half years and this fl regarded as conservative by other com petent authorities"

CONGRESS ON DIVORCE.
Animated DlscussfOn on the Proposals
 sf of Pennsylvnnin.


 Washington, Feb. 20--Animated dis cussion was indulged in today. by the Congress on Uniform Divorce laws on the resolutions proposed by the Penn sylvania delegation outlining impor- tant reforms for uniform laws on this subject by the various States, and which had been endorsed practically in their entirety by the resolutions com mIttee. Arguments were exhausted and parliamentary tactics invoked by the minority of the Congress to defeat th@ adoption of the following portion or the report of the committee on resolu- tions. striking a death blow at the migratory divorce:
 'sWhen the courts are given cognt- zance of suits where the plaintin was domiciled in a foreign jurisdiction at inc time the cause of complaint arose, 1t should be insisted that relief will not be given unless the cause of the divorce was considered among those recognized in such foreign domicile."
 The section was adopted by an over wheIminE vote after compromise amendment offered by o. w. Hart or Louisiana. had been defeated by vote of fifteen to sixteen. The forces op- posing the adoption of the section were led by Rev. Caroline Bartlett Crane of Michigan, whose efforts were second- ed by delegates Walcott of Michigan; I,eech of West Virginia and Sterling Of South Dakota.
 Regarding the adoption of the first resolution submitted by the committee that 1t was the sense of the Congress that a Federal divorce law was not feasible.
 The section declaring that each state should adopt legislation restrict ing the remedies afforded by it's stat utes of divorces to its own citizens was , adopted with some notifications.

COMMENT OF TAFT
DOES NOT THINK WE'LL OF SEA
 LEVEL PLANS.
Secretary Transmits To the President the Report of the Canal Commis sion and the Accompanying
 Document.

washington, Feb. 19.--Secretary Taft today transmitted the Canal Commis- sion's report and the accompanying documents to the President, sumariz- ing cosely the conclusion of the ma tority and minority. which respectively favored a sea level and lock canal He called attention to the fact that the act of Congress In effect fixes the minimum dimension of the locks and the width and depth of the canal prism by the requirement. that the canal shall accommodate the largest vessels afloat ar such as may be reasonably antici- mated. Two ships now building, which are six hundred feet long, eighty eight feet beam and thirty-eight feet draft, can be passed through the locks pro- posed by the majority report. and he says 1t is evident this requirement is met.
 The Secretary says: "In the high level canal a vessel of the dimensions noted would have. with the exception of AZ miles where the width is only 900 feet, ample leeway for safe navi- ration and good speed without objec- fionable currents and without difficult ties at the points where changes in course are necessary"
 Rut of the sea level canal project he makes this criticism:
 with the proposed sea-level canal conditions are different. The depth is hut two feet greater than the draft oi inc ship. not sufficient to permit hel to proceed under her own steam except

 Der of the canal commission, Admiral Endicott. takes the same view. Five
 of the eight American members of the
 board of consulting engineers and five members of the Isthmian canal com mission favor the lock canal. and so does Chief Engineer Stevens The sec retary of war recommends lock ca- nal pursuant to the recommendation of the minority of the board of con- sulting engineers ond of the majority of the canal commission. After careful study of the papers submitted and full and exhaustive consideration of the whole subject I concur Tn this recon- Imendation.
 l It will be noticed that the American | kl.1 or1 nxxI the commission by more than two to one majority favor the lock canal
