THE TIRE TO BEGIN.

With the financial market in thu
condition that has existed for near
ly a year and with no immediate
prospect OF change for the better,
New Iberia aud lis contiguous ter
ttory is TO be congratulated in that
the gentlemen at the head Of the
Trolley Company have succeeded
In financing the road and in getting
its plans in such shape that within
few months its rails will encircle
this City aud bind it in close ties
with the nearest town to the East.
Ii was a most difficult task in the
face Of such difficulties that old es.
tabllshed railroads were unable to
overcome and also 10 the face of
absolutely no aid on the part Of the
City that is to be benefited. But
this paper never for an instant lost
faith 10 the success of these gentle
men. 1t believed that where there
was such earnestness of purpose
there was bound to be success soon
or or later. And now that all that
remains to be done is to get the
material on the ground and begin
work, il offers its thanks, on behalf
OF the City to those gentlemen
who, IN years to come, will have
proved themselves to be great ben
efactors TO New Iberia.
This City could have afforded to
have voted 800, 900 for the aid OF
the Trolley line. In few years il {
will have been proved that its COM

many millions OF dollars. There q

MAN SUSPECTED OF SWINDLING.

.
portant arrests that has beer
made here in a long time was
effected yesterday by Chief OF
Police Miguel. 1t was that OF
man supposed to have been
swindling merchants in this sec
ton OF the country from Nor
gan City to Lake Charles and
elsewhere by false representation
and by means of worthless
checks. The question to be
determined is whether this is
the man. As to the crimes
committed there is no doubt
and as ne is now in Jail the vic
TINS will have chance to de-
/ termine whether he is the one.
1t appears that some person
has been going through this
territory representing himself to
be an internal revenue collector.
In Morgan City this man pass
ed a worthless check tor SIS
and then disappeared. In Pat
tsrson he passed a worthless
check for $40 and disappeared.
There were other occurrences OF
the same kind and Internal
Revenue Collector J. G. Fuller
has been hunting for the guilty
party for a long time.
His description had been
given to the various police de-
partments throughout the State
with hope of catching him.
This was of an elderly man
evidently addicted to the cheer
ing cup and from it Chief OF
Police Miguel gathered that the
man had paid a visit to New
Iberia, for about ten days ago a
man answering his description
stopped overnight at the Eureka
Hotel and got up so early the
next morning that he forgot to
pay his bill OF 81 for the room.
1t was settled that very prob
ably this man who had register
ed as McConley was the one
wanted, although it was SAID the
man passed elsewhere as w. +.
Carter and had signed checks
under that name.
The No. o was late and
there dropped from it an elderly
man who carried a grip and who
resembled the wanted man.
Mr.. Fuller saw him and tele-
phoned to Chief OF Police, who
recognized him as
the man who had beaten the
hotel proprietor. He placed
The man under arrest and took
him to the Eureka where he
made haste to pay the 81 he .
owed, admitting thereby that !
,e bad passed under the name c
IT McConley, while he gave his a
ZANE to the Chief as McCon {
ey.
Later Chief Miguez searched
mn and found in his possession :
checkbook with blanks on the :
anne bank the bogus checks n
ad been drawn against. These d
'erc made out in the name of =
V. T. Carter and it was evident a
nat there was enough ground I,
n which to hold the man. He Il
as therefore lodged in Jail 8.
here he will await further iden- .,
fication. :

LEvEE BOARD COMING.

New iberia and the sector
acre IS the Bayou and extending
as tar north as St. Martin viii
be carefully inspected next week
by the State Engineers office in
connection with the AtchataIaya
Leyee Board, which met Mon
day and talked over the propo-
sltion to construct more levees
! on the East Bank OF the Atchat
aIaya. It's probable that the
visitors will be here on Sunday
for the Board decided that II
would be unwlse to go ahead
without a full knowledge of the
after consequences.
According to the residents OF
the Fausse Pointe Country
thousands of acres of lands that
now are under cultivation and
that have been drained would be
thrown under water at certain
seasons of the year if levees were
continued on the East bank OF
Atchafalaya and none were con
structed on the West bank to
keep the water from coming
this way. In fact it is said that
many planters would be ruined
by such action and it was for
the purpose of protesting against
without consideration that a
delegation went from St. Mar
tin to the meeting at Baton
Rouge and also several gentle
men from the Fausse Polnte
section.
These gentlemen argued the
matter with the Levee Board
with such good effect that they
induced that body to make
haste slowly and to decide to
investigate before going into a
matter that might do more in
jury than good. For this rea
son the Board decided to come
with engineers into the threaten
ed section and to make a care
tul examination before any fur
ther action is ta2en.
Up to the present time St.
Martinvllle has been talking
more of an interest in this mat
ter than Iberia, but a large part
OF the damage will be done to
iberia Parish and it is Just as
much to the interest OF the peo-
pie here that the right action
be taken as TO St. MartinviIe.
t or this reason some action
should be taken to make the
Levee Board welcome when it
arrives here on Sunday. St.
Martin has employed an en-
glneer to accompany the Board
On It's inspection and Iberia
should do the same.
The Levee Board adopted
esolution to the effect that if it
S found necessary to construct
evees on the West bank of the
River, the chairman of Board
,e authorized to advertise for
he bids tor the construction of
he necessary work. 1t remain
d with the people now to con
'lnce the Board and engineers
hat this work is necessary.

CANE SEASON OPENS.

Yesterday was opening day toI
the cane service on the Southern
Pacific and for the next Two and
a half months the tracks OF that
road will be filled with long
lines OF cane cars bound for the
various rehneries. Up to noon
however none of the trains had
passed through here but it was
said the first of the season was
due sometime during the day.
Mr.. d. A. Dimltry, the gen
ial agent at this point said
that the road was prepared
to handle the cane business bet
ter than ever before. The cars
had all been IN place for several
weeks and all depended on the
planters as to how quickly the
cane is moved. The road is
ready to do its share and with
promptneSs.
During the cane season that
produce takes precedence over
the other lines of freight. 1t
has to be moved quickly to the
rehnerles and this year when the
crop is SO enormous it will be
important to keep ltgolng to its
destination as fast as possible.
According to the railroad men
who have visited the various
points along the lines there
never was a crop that was heav-
Ter nor larger than this one and
in their opinion it will be luck
for the planter if he is able to
get it all cut during this season.
In tact they believe that when
the end of the season comes
there will still be lots of cane
left in the fields that the growers
will not be able to harvest.
Some small planters have cut
cane tor the last week or
more but some of the big plan
.ers will not begin till Monday.
Others began on the fifteenth and
here is according to the rail-
'oadmen a bigger tonnage of
:ane TO be hauled TO the rein
,rles than ever before in the
history of the State.
Therallroad is prepared AS told
n the observation-disclosures, to |
handle the cane by furnishing
he large fiat car that holds
louble the quantity OF cane. LII
hoped that these will save the
lay and enable the planters to
,et their cane to the refnerics
promptly.
MIR. Scarlette, Assistant Sup
rintendent of the Sunset said
ay or two ago that everything
long this division was in fine
hape for the handling of the
ane. Still it will take a week
r ten days OF actual work to
I'll just how the situation will
e. Meantime the tracks will
e filled with cane trains and the
ufhng of the many locomotives
III keep the people awake at all
ours of the night for the cane
lust be moved and moved it
