ness 20. regular use a. occasion
may demand. A piano Of the
KOhler & Company make. par
chased by Mr.. K. c. MacIver of
this city. was duly installed in the
hall last Saturday, and when the
two hundred neat and comfort
able folding chairs now on the
way from the factory are placed
in position this hall will afford to
the people of Lafayette an attrac-
tive and convenient place of meet
ing for social or business pur,
poses where an attendance of not
more than $50 persons is ex-
pected.
The main object DR.. Moss had
in planning this hall was to pro
vide Il suitable meeting place for
amusement and recreation pur'
poses for the young people Oh
| the town-a much needed thing
in Lafayette. The hall, together
with the nice suite of three rooms
all connected together, when
properly furnished.and arrar rged
will answer most admirably the
purpose they were intended tt
serve.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF MUhlCI-
PAL TICKET and PLATFORM.
To THE VOTERS OF THE Town
OF LAFAYETTE, LA.

The undersigned hereby an |
nOunce themselves as candidates |
for election in the Democratic |
primary soon to be called by the
Executive Committee. to fill the
various offices of the town for
the ensuing term. In taking
this step, we announce the fol
lowing as our platform:
We believe that public servants
should administer their func-
tions according to the law and
will of the people as expressed
at the ballot box.
We believe that protection
against fire is the greatest need
in our midst; that lights are sec
ondary, and that this fact should
be recognized in expending pub
lie money.
We believe, also. that another
urgent public need is the i'm
provement in the quality Of the
water afforded by our plant. We
are convinced that an arteSian
well ought to have been put in
so that good and pure water
could be freely had for drinking
and other. household uses. The
preservation of the good health
of the town is another reason
why this should be done.
We strongly believe in the
economical and businesslike ex-
! penditure of public funds, and
in public improvements general
ly, for which the revenues of our
town are now amply sufficient
without increasing the assess
ment or rate of taxation, if pro,
perly administered.
We pledge ourselves. if elected
to put these views in force and
to use our best efforts to keep
Lafayette in line with the pro-
gressive towns around us.

JAPANESE OFFICIALS CONTROL
THE KOREAN GOVERNMENT
Ne..Y Convention Concluded Between
Japan and Korea, and Warshps
VIII Enforce Order

Tokio.-Advices from Seoul say
that a new convention between Japan
and Korea has been concluded The
text Of the convention has not yet
been made public, but it is reported
to consist Of seven articles. It's
main feature is that it invests the
resident general with complete con
troll of the internal administration of
Korea and appoints Japanese officials
of the Korean government.
A message from Chemulpo states
that the Japanese war vessels Kasagi,
Nitaska and Tsushima, have arrived
there from Gensan with many blue
Jackets and provincial troops Oh
board and will call at Seoul.
Seoul is apparently calm but appre-
hension of further disturbances has
not subsidized 1t is asserted that
court spies are busily engaged in eff
forts to ascertain the attitude of
Japan. A new press regulation pro-
hibiting the publication of diplo-
matte and military secrets on any
thing injurious to the public peace is

DEADLY AMERICAN RAILROADS
In One Year 376,5OO Persons Are In
jured While Travelling.

Berlin.-Herr Gurley, an official of
the archive bureau Of the Prussfan
railway administration, has prepared
a comparative table Of statistics of
those killed and injured by railways
in various countries. He finds that
both absolutely and relatively the
railroads in the United States are the
most deadly. The United States has
more mileage than all Europe, but
even taking that into consideration
the United States holds pre-eminence
in proportional figures. Out of every
thousand railway employees the ratio
of the number injured each year is
as follows United States, 1876;
Switzerland, 253; England, lis; Bel.
gium, IL; Germany, "a.
Out of every ten thousand employees
the relative figures of killed are:
United States, 26.1; England, 1913;
Switzerland, 81; Russia, rs; British
India, 81; Belgium, Al.
Herr Gurley finds that in a single
year-the fiscal year of 1092-376, 500
persons were injured in the United
States, of whom 10000 were en-
ployes, and $500 killed, of whom
$500 were employees.

ANOTHER RUSSIAN MUTINY.
SeminoVsky Regiment Refuses to Par
ticipate in Maneuvers.

St etersburd.-While Emperor
Nicholas was reviewing the troops en-
camped at Krasnoye-Selo on Wednes-
day, the Seminovsky regiment refused
to participate in the maneuvers and
broke up the order of parade. They
demanded the retirement from their
command of General Reiman, who
with General Min, whom Reiman sue
ceeded as commander of the regiment,
when Min was assassinated at Peter
hof in August Of last year. ruthlessly
put down the Moscow uprising in De-
cember, 1905. The regiment was inn
mediately dismissed from parade and
its barracks searched. Much illegal
literature was found and four soldiers
of the regiment were placed under
arrest. The authorities are trying to
keep the matter secret because of the
disaffection that exists in the COM
panies of the Preobranjensky regiment
quaItered here
Wednesday was the first time that
General Reiman had assumed COM
mand of his regiment since his re-
turn from Alexandria, where he fed
after General Min was assassinated

American Delegates to Peace
Conference Incline Toward
the Triple Alliance.
General Porter Declares That He Pre-
fers President RooseveIt's More
Modern Policy to Marcy's
Antiquated Arguments.

The Hague-Speaking on Friday
before the committee which is cOnSid-
ering the duties of neutral states dur
ing warfare on land BIigadier Gener-
al George B. Davis of the American
delegation declared that the United
States had associated itself with the
French proposal. The French prOpO-
sitiOn sets forth that a neutral state
is only responsible for the acts Of it's
subjects if these acts are committed
upon it's own territory; that the re-
sponsibility of neutral state is not
involved by the fact that some of it's
subjects take service with a bellig-
erent and that neutral state is not
bound to prevent it's subjects from
exporting arms and ammunition for
the use of belligerent. General Da-
Wis accepted also the principle of the
German proposal that neutral state
is bound to prevent it's subjects from
entering the service of belligerent.
Speaking before the committee on
contraband, Rear Admiral Charles S.
Sperry explained the American oppo-
sition to the proposal made by Great
Britain to abolish cOntraband.
The discussion of contraband Of war
then occasioned a breeze between
Lord Reay (British) and General Port
er, which, though insignificant, is be-
ing commented upon in the light of it's
effect on international politics and as
an indication that Anglo-American re-
latiOns are becoming strained, while
the triple alliance in general and
Germany in particular are daily be-
coming more friendly toward the
United States. Lord Reay expressed
profound surprise at the attitude of
the United States and quoted various
documents, notably a note addressed
by Secretary of State Marcy on July
%, 1857, to the Russian minister at
Washington, employing practically the
same arguments that Great Britain
employs today in favor of the aboli-
ton of cOntraband. General Porter
somewhat eXcitedly retorted that he
preferred President Roosevelt's more
modern policy to Marcy's antiquated
arguments.

NOT A MAN LEFT IN CITY.
All the Men in Hungarian Village
Have Come to America.

Buda Pest.-The lure of the United
States as a land of opportunity and
wealth to the people of Hungary has
brought out curious state of affairs
IN the little village of Kriseva, near
Lugos, that at the last census had a.
population Of $500 souls. One by one
the male residents of Kerisova heard
the call across the water, and they
emigrated in patches until such time
as the mayor was the only adult
male to remain by the village. Final
iy he also succumbed to the reports
OF good wages and golden chances in
America sent back by his fellow
townsmen, and, packing his trunk, he
made his way to the emigrant shin
at Fiume
AS result Of this exodus of males
the women Of Kerisova have lust
elected young woman to the posi-
ton of mayor, and other female resi-
dents have been elected to fill the re-
mainder of the municipal Offices. The
statutes of Hungary provide that no
female shall hold Office, and according
to the letter of the law the presence
OF the women in Office is illegal.
