BOTH WERE COMMITTED

FUSED BAIL AT RALEIGH.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

fALElGH, N. c., June 1S.-The commit
ment OF both DR.. Rowland and wife to Iail
WITHOUT bail last night by the coroner as
toHlsheo the community, when many people
had expected to see both of them released.
Rowiands lawyers today are arranging
10 apply through writ of habeas corpus
before the supreme judge for the release of
both the doctor and his wife on bond While
the evidence before the coroner showed an
intimacy between the doctor and the woman
before Engineer Strange died, 1t did not
actually prove criminality, and they were
committed on probable cause and circum-
stantial evidence, which may be too weak
on trial in higher court. Interest in the
remarkable case and the final outcome is
now quieter than ever
The evidence in which the prosecution
placed the most reliance in holding DR..
Rowland for the grand jury and the higher
court was evidently that given by Engineer
Mike TfShe and others. which was brought
out to establish the fact that Rowland and
Mrs. Strange were not only acquainted, but
were intimately friendly The statement
had been printed In the local papers here
that their first meeting occurred when Dr.
Rowland arrived at the Strange home the
day the engineer died. DR.. Rowland having
been called only after two three other
physicians had vainly been summoned.
1t was shown by Engineer w. A. Steele.

women. Mrs. w. T. Neal and Mrs. r. w.

Rowland had been seen with Mrs. Strange
on various occasions both before and after
the death Of Engineer Strange, and that
she had been seen to enter DR.. Rowland's
office on at least three OCCASIONS.
The contention of the state Zen developed
into the accusation that the doctor and the
engineers wife were criminally intimate:
that therefore a motive was established in
which both were interested in his death:
that this was strengthened by the early
marriage of Dr. Rowland and Mrs. Strange
six weeks later. Further confirmation of
this accusation Is found in the statement
that when Rowland was arrested his first
words were: I'VE are married." he think
ing he was being arrested for unlawful CO.

LAFAYETTE SHOULD SECURE
THE NEW NORMAL SCHOOL

The NEW NON"|
To meet the large and growing
demand for trained teachers II is
practically certain that the next
Legislature will establish anotner
Normal College somewhere in the
State. in all probability in South
west Louisiana. Opelousas is go
ing to make a big effort to secure
the school. and it is "up to" Lafa-
yette to get it. if possible.
We believe that the State could
establish a Normal College herein
connection with the Industrial
School both more economically
and advantageously than at any
other place. and it is for our rep
resentatives in the House and the
Senate to place Lafayette's excel
lent advantages before those two
bodies in a convincing manner.
For that reason we should make
it a point in the coming parish
campaign to select the strongest
and ablest men as representa-
tiyes from our parish that we
can.
Not alone is it important that
we secure the Normal College.
but the interests of the Indus
trial School must be taken careof.
We want as large an appropria-
ton as the State can afford, SO
that the school can command the
best teaching talent and at the
same time enlarge it's scope of
work, and to get this We must
depend almost entirely upon the
men we send as representatives.
We should further strengthen
our chances as to securing the
Normal College by supporting
for State Senator and Lieutenant
Governor only those men who are
friendly to Lafayette, for mani
testify we would be lessening our
chances by supporting any can.
didate who is known to be in
favor of este blishing the Normal
at any other town.
Whichever town secures the
new Normal College will be
fortunate indeed, for it means q
great deal at present and largely
more in the future to it. And il
is something that the people OF
Lafayette should work for as a
unit, and sec to it that q solid
vote goes to those candidates
who are in a position to assist
Lafayette in the establishment
of the Normal College here, and
are Lafayette's friends.

A Good Result.

Importance because of the harm

Royal Baking Powder is known
to be the only baking powder
made of Royal Grape Cream

which the Laws afford, and are
examining all the reading matter

adopting any brand for use in

When in place of the words

phate Of lime" appear among the
ingredients. they heed the warn.

compensation of the Secretary OF
State be reduced to the standard
paid other State officials in
Louisiana. AS to the injustice OF
the fee system, there has latterly
been an expression of opinion so
nearly unanimous that no one
can for a moment entertain any
doubt where the voters stand.
The discussion has not so
far touched on the fees OF the
Secretary of State, but on those
of the sheriffs and tax collectors.
which it has been agreed must
be either reduced so as to bring
the compensation of these officials
to the salary standard prevailing
in Louisiana or to be altogether
abolished and the favored official
receive a fixed salary instead of
an indefinite sum in fees and
commissions. NOOne now doubts
that this reduction will be made
by the next legislature; and the
arguments which apply to the
compensation of sheriffs apply
with equal reason to the compen
sation of the Secretary of State.
There is not the slightest reason
why that Office should be paid
five or six times what it lis worth.
The work does not call for it, the
responsibility is no greater than
that of other State officials; and
the legislature never intended
that the Secretary of State should
enjoy the income he now gets.
When the fees were fixed the
amount received was only a frac-
ton of what it is today. Louis
lana has doomed" and the in
surance business has made great
progress, but it was not the in
tentlon of the General Assembly
that the Secretary of State should
alone profit by this advance. The
State itself ought to be the bene.
ficiary. and it needs the money.
As the Times Democrat point.
ed out some time ago, the entire
fee system is undemOcratic and
ought to be abolished. The PEG
pie do not know what they are
paying an officer under it. and
the compensation is unequal, un
just and demoralizing. For these
reasons the Democratic party Of
Louisiana has frequently de
nounced the system and has
promised to abolish it., and has
abolished it in large part. In the
case of only a few Offices does il
survive, of which the Secretary
of State, the tax collectors anc
sheriffs are the most conspicuous
In view of the fact that we are
to hold a primary this year. Civ
ing the people chance to correc'
political evils, abolish sinecures
etc.. an excellent opportunity is
offered them to pronounce them
selves against the fee system
and to let the State. not a few
clever and popular politicians
get the very large amount nov
accruing from fees.
