We. your Grand Jury, duly en-
panelled and sworn, within and
for the Parish Of ST. Mary, La,
beg to submit this, our final re-
port.
We have examined into all the
violations OF the criminal statutes
that have come to our knowledge
and have reported unto your Hon.
Court oar findings in the same in
the shape OF true bills or no true
bills.
In the mater of schools, we find
upon investigation that there are
ample funds in the treasury to
meet all expenses for the current
year, and leave a balance OF about
100000. The Superintendent in
forms Us that almost all the school
buildings in the Parish are in
need Of repairs.
We visited the High School in
Franklin, also the one where the
little ones are quartered, and find
conditions in both places needing
immediate attention. The con-
gested shape OF affairs in botu
buildings, we consider njurlous
to the health OF the children as
we'll as to the teachers. In the
event OF fire at the High School,
the lives OF all would be in ieopar-
dy.
We understand that similar
conditions exist in the Patterson
High School.
We recommend that the proper
authorities take immediate steps
to remedy the above conditions.
We endorse the recommended
ton made by Supt. d. n. Foster
for new High School building at
Morgan City, La.
We have examined the Court
House and find the same made
quate to uses required Of it; and
does not answer the demands re-
quired Of a court house; that it is
ia a very dilapidated condition,
and that the vault where the pub
lie records are kept is not large
enough, and in its present con-
di,ion, is but little protection to
the records. Something should
be done to give a better court
house that would fully and amply
answer all the requirements of the
public.
We visited the Jail and found
the sanitary conditions there bad.
The cells, especially in that part
occupied by the men, Were in
filthy condition.
We had Mr.. j. P. Kempe-, road
commissioner. before us on the
matter of the roads. He reports
that he has the road work we'll
systematized, and that, in the
course of month, he expected to
have the roads in a very satisfac-
tory condition, and that he felt
that the appropriation made by
the Police Jury was ample to put
the roads in good condition.
We had the Secretary Of the
Police Jury and the Parish Treas
urer before US. We found their
accounts correctly kept and the
finances of the Parish in excellent
condition.
We endorse the recommendations
made by the Grand Jury of July
last, regarding the deepening of
the mouth of the Atchafalaya
river.
We urgently recommend the en-
forcement of the law against car
rving concealed weapons. AS we

GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS WILL
PAY RAILROADS A MILLION
A YEAR NOW.

WASHINGTON. June 9.-It will
cost the national government about
one million dollars annually to be viz.
tuous on the subject of railroad pass
es. When the rate bill goes into eff.
feet, the passes now issued to gov.
eminent employees will be diseon,
tinued.
II government employees travel as
much after the passes are stopped
as they have in the past, the bill for
tickets viii foot up to the amount
mentioned.
The government at present gets
zee transportation for hundreds OF
its employees while they are travelling
on government business. All the in
spectors of the bureau of animal in
dustry travel on passes. Postoffice de
partment employees in the railway mail
service travel without paying for their
tickets, but it is in the contracts be-
tween the government and the rail-
roads that postal employees shall be
considered in making bids for doing
the work. The question has arisen,
however, whether that form of doing
business will not be illegal after the
new order begins If it is so held,
the postoffice department alone may
have to call on Congress for large
appropriation to be expended for rail
road fare for government employees
travelling en- government business.
The inspectors of the bureau of ami
NAL industry travel on pusses because
the railroads do not want to unload
cattle at state lines to have them in
spected They prefer TO give the in
spectors passes SO they can meet the
cattle trains at the places where they
have feeding stations and have the in
spection made there. For that pur-
pose, in fact, the inspectors are en-
ployes of the railroads rather than of
the government.
1t is estimated that for the depart
ment of agriculture one-fourth or a
million dollars will be required. The
department of commerce and labor
will need at least 100000, and the in
terror department fully as much The
treasury has lot of people travel
ing on passes, so have all the other

CONGRESSMAN BEALL OF TEXAS TELLS OF THE GREAT
NESS OF ARIZONA IN SPEECH AGAINST JOINT
STATEHOOD

The following is an extract from the
speech of Congressman Beall, of Tex
as. in opposition to the JOINT statehood
bill:
Arizona has in round numbers 114.-
900 square miles. while New Mexico
has 121 ,000 Arizona, the smaller OF
the two, is larger than New York aud
Pennsylvania, with New Jersey, New
Hampshire aud Delaware throw in.
IL is more than twice the size of Illi-
nois, nine and one-haif times as large
as Maryland, twelve times as large as
Vermont, thirteen times as large as
Massachusetts. fourteen times as large
as New Jersey, twenty times as large
Connecticut, fifty-one times as large as
Delaware. ninety-one times as large as
Rhode Island. It is as large as Ohio,
Indiana and Virginia combined. So II
can hardly be said that either of these
two territories is not wanting in suffi-
Client area.
Have they sufficient wealth to
properly support ana maintain a state
government? The wealth of Arizona has
been estimated TO be about 100000

railroads within her borders. This
railroad mileage is worth four times

erty of some of the states when ad.
mitted. II is the second copper pro.
ducing district in the union and will

in Arizona with resources of more
than s1.500,0G0. She has the largest
unbroken forest in the world, with an
era in excess of 5000 square miles and
with timber reserves of more than T.
100000 acres. II has hundreds of
thousands of acres that a few years
ago were part of the desert that
have felt the viyifying touch of irri-
CATION and are now producing in mar
velous abundance.

of which she may ,se1l he proud In
her American population there is COM
paratively no illiteracy. She has a
compulsory system of education with

She pays the highest salaries to her

For the purpose of rebuilding at
once the destroyed lumber sheds and
buildings at the Greene Consolidated
yards which were burned by the riot
ers last week at Cananea. T. Evans,
traffic manager of the Greene Consoli-
dated Copper company, is in FL Paso
making large purchases of lumber
from a lumbercompany in that city.
Evans went to FL Paso in private
car from Cananea after ali trouble was
over and the smelter and other mills
were working again. He was in Can
anea when the riot broke out, and saw
the thick of the fight. However he
was uninjured.

BOARD OF PACIFIC UNDERWENT.
eRs RECONSIDER DECISION
TO RAISE RATES.

The board of underwriters of the
Pacific have had Arizona doing the
hurdling act in the insurance rate
line in the past few days, says the
Tucson Citizen. Notices were received
two days ago that a temporary raise
of twenty-five per cent had been made
on insurance rates in the territory
within the Pacific Jurisdiction. This
includes everything west of the Rocky
mountains.
Today an amended notice was re-
ceived stating that Arizona had been
excluded from the raise except on
some mining property, such as mills
and smelters.
In other words, the raise will not
affect the rates in Tucson at ALL The
first notice sent out would have cost
the merchants many additional dollars
for insurance, as the raise applied par
ticularly to mercantile establishments.
Consequently the amended notice is
gladly received

FLEE ACROSS
THE LINE
Passenger Conductor Kills
Mexican at a Dance and
Makes Escape.

JIMINEZ Mexico. June 9.-Joe
Larcey, an American passenger con
ductor OF the Mexican Central railroad
who ran south of Jiminez, has just
made most daring escape from this
city. Three nights ago he shot and
Killed Mexieon at a dance here. He
fled from the spot and walked up the
Mexican Central track six miles, where
he tagged north-bound passenger
train. Six Mexican police from Jim
inez we're on the train, expecting that
he would attempt to make his escape
in some such manner. They ordered
Larcy's SURRENDER. instead of obeying
the command, Larcey threw his own
pistol down upon the police and order
ed them off the train. They got off
and walked back TO town.
arcey took possession of the en-
CINE and cut It loose from the remand
er Of the train. The engineer. George
Dempsey, was forced to remain at the
throttle. The two then began a wild
ride toward the Texas border. 37o
miles distant.
The train dispatcher was advised
tfat the engine was running wild, and
the track was cleared. The run from
Jiminez to Chihuahua, 143 miles. was
made In record-breaking time. There
was a stop for water at thar place and
the police attempted TO capture the
II gitive. Dempsey opened the throt-
tie wide and sDed down the track for
the country, still headed for the Rio
crande. The track was clssr, and FOR

The greatest depth attained in the
diamond drill holes is something over

has been passed through and lime
stone has been encountered.
One Of the men high in official cir
cles OF the Warren denies the report
that ore has been struck, or even any
indication of mineralized formation.
Notwithstanding this statement, how
ever. those who think they have the

mineral in greater or less degree
has been encountered. Confirmation
on this point can not be obtained from
the company, however.
At the shaft being sunk in the lower
end OF tie district, 4 depth of sixty
feet has been attained. Two diamond
drill holes are also being sunk in that
locality. While nothing is being given
out for publication by the officials, the
wise ones around the brokerage Of

days, that ore had been encountered in
sil king these drill holes, on more than
one occasion. The delay in perfecting

the stock TO drag and il looks now

tent, of course, the reserve was small
err than IL would otherwise have

nection with the figures, detailed IN
formation regarding the settlement OF
the long continued litigation that was
adjusted last winter, and tells in what
manner-heretofore published - this
very satisfactory result was arrived at.
In concluding this statement he re
marks that not only will the heavy an
nuaI expense of this prolonged hu-
cation TO the Amalgamated Copper
company and its subsidiary companies
be avoided, but the cessation OF all
hostilities will permit the working OF
many properties of known value, the
operation of which has hitherto been
restrained by injunctions. He further
notes the fact that the Amalgamated
company has been given an option TO
purchase a substantial block of the
stock of the Butte Coalition Mining
company at cost, which serves to
confirm the impression that has pre-
vailed in financial circles for some
time past, that the Amalgamated in
terests will ultimately hold the abb
solute control of this proposition. The
settlement of the litigation Will enable
the Boston & Montana company TO
work certain levels of the Pennsyl-
vania line belonging to the Montana
company and also the most valuable
sections of the same property in the
neighborhood of the Leonard shaft,
while the Nipper property viii be

Reference is made to the opening
up of rich ore bodies on the Anaconda
shafts at a depth of 2400 feet, and II
is further told that the concentrating
and smelling works of the Washoe
Copper company are being operated
with much success that the cost OF
treating crude ore has been reduced
materially and that further reduction
is expected The cost of mining has
also been reduced. A material saving
in costs has likewise been affected In
connection with the operation of the
smelling plant In the Boston & Mon
tana company at Great Falls. The
copper produced by the mines owned
wholly or In part by the Amalgamated
Copper company was sold during the
year at a steadily advancing price
mostly at top quotations-and since

Both Larcey and Dempsey, took to
the cacti-covered desert at point
south of Juarez, and are supposed to
be safe on the other side Of the Rio
Grande by this time. Dempsey Is
thought to have been afraid that he
could not have cleared himself Of the
part he took in Larcey's escape, al
though IL was forced upon him.
