Col. Pleasant Candidate for At

Talk.

"A Mlller-MOuUn meeGlnR was
held at the race track in Caren
Gro on last Saturday. Two un.
expected deaths near Carencro
kept many people away from the
meeting, but over $50 citizens
assembled to hear a discussion
of the issues of the campaign.
Mr.. Desire Hebert was called
upon to preside over the meet.
ing and the following vice-presi-
dents were chosen: Messrs.
Philemon Forester, Emile Cor.
mier, Pierre J. MOutOn, Toto
Simoneaux, Constant Leger,
Tanas Comeaux and Belisaire
COrmier.
Col. R. G. Pleasant. of Shere-
port, candidate for Attorney
General, was introduced as the
first speaker. In a well worded
and interesting thirty minute
talk he made q marked impress
sion on his audience and was
literally applauded. He prom
ised to look after the enforce
ment of the laws against trusts
and suggested an attractive plan
for the distribution of the
States deposits in the banks of
the seven congressional districts.
He praised the primary law and
said the operation of this splen-
did law permitted him to be a
candidate as the convention days
were a thing of the past. Col.
Pleasant will poll a good vote in
the sixth ward.
DR.. G. A. Martin followed
Col. Pleasant and made a strong
appeal to the voters for the Mil.
ler. Mouton ticket. He urged
them to take advantage of Mil
ler's offer of $4,000 to the
schools of the parish.
DR., L. A. Prejean was the next
speaker and spoke feelingly to
his CarencrO friends and asked
for their support. He referred
to his boyhood days in Carencro,
and said that he would discharge
the duties of his Office faithfully
and conscientiously if elected
coroner of Lafayette parish.
Mr.. F, V. Mouton, who follow
ed, in his speech referred to the
following conditions of the parish
finances: The last report of the
grand jury showed that there
was no money in the parish
treasury.
The assessment of the parish
was increasd $368,576 over last
year and the taxes increased
from eight to ten mills. This
meant another increase in the
sheriff's salary. Instead Of an
other increase in salaries the
parish should cut them down.

Deputy Clerk J. Gilbert ST.
Julian left Tuesday morning for
Baton Rouge to take his seat in
the Legislature. Some time ago
Mr.. st. Julian sent his resigna-
tiOn to Gov. Blanchard. thinking
that there would be no more
meetings of the Legislature. and
because he thought that being a
member of the legislature pre-
vented him from holding the of.
fee of deputy clerk. He receiv-
ed advices from Baton Rouge
that under the law only the
Speaker of the House of Rep.
resentatives could accept his re.
signation, and therefore as his
resignation had been forwarded
to Gov. Blanchard and only ac-
cepted by him, that he was still
a member of the Legislature.
His holding the Office of Deputy
Clerk made no difference as to
his status as representative.
Such being the case Mr.. st. Ju.
lian left at once for the capital to
perform his duties.

Suit to Restrain P. R. r. From Oper
atin1 the Philadelphia & Erie.
Philadelphia, Oct pa bill in
equity to restrain the Pennsylvania
railroad from operating the Philadel.
phia & Erie railroad as part of its
system under the merger effected by
a vote of the majority stockholders of
both corporations last spring, was filed
in the common pleas court here by
Andrew J. Reilly and Walter S. Hum
phreys. trading as Frank T. Bell &
Co., and Gustav S. Soulas. The plain.
tiffs, who are Philadelphia & Erie
stockholders. hold that the agreement
entered into by the defendant com
panies is unconstitutional and confis
catory and deprives them of their
property without due process of law
and without adequate compensation.
They argue that the law of March %.
1901, under which the merger was eff
fected, is unconstitutional and that
one railroad corporation under the law
may acquire the franchise and rights
of a connecting railroad in which il /
OWuS at least CWO-thlLuS VI tho capita
stock. The Pennsylvania railroad, il /
is argued. did not hold this amount.
The court is asked to declare the |
law of March % unconstitutional and |
void; to declare the agreement be
tween the two corporations null; to
restrain the Pennsylvania railroad
from operating under the present
agreement and to resume under the
terms of the original lease, and to
order the Pennsylvania railroad to
render an accounting for moneys Sc
cured from operating the Philadel-
phia G. Erie since the merger was eff.
fected
