PETER LAMANA
Was Not Assassinated but Was Seen
in St. Louis Thursday

1t was reported i'll New Orleans thai
Peter Lamana had been assassinated and
that his body had been found in box IL
the Mississippi river at St. James. This
report has been discredited by the state
ment that Peter L.amana was in St.
Louis. Mo. Wednesday, where he was
negotiating with H. H. McGee i'll the
purchase OF stock at the stables OF
Sparks Bros. & McGee.
Peter Lamana is the father of the boy

1t is not possible at this time, when
the issue has scarcely been developed,
to determine the result. but this birth
right of the city should not be frittered
away and conceded as an old friend
would say for a mess of potash.
1t is true the mayor announced during
his candidacy and since his inauguration
and active service as mayor, that he
would secure transfer privileges. and
this he can obtain by yielding to the
proposition of the Traction Company
in the equalization of all the franchises
to run to the end of forty-seven years,
but as the guardian OF the people it is
expected that he shall be a man, and
whenever and if ever such a proposition
is submitted for official consideration,
that he shall bend and concentrate all his
energies and his influence to its defeat.
And should such a proposition be sub
mitted the people shall expect its relec-
ton by the City Council.
Let the mayor and the council give
the people and the Traction Company
a square deal.
Beyond a doubt the Traction Com
pany would be willing to compromise
with the city and give transfers i'll con-
sideration of the extension of franchises
on the two belt lines but the city has
10 grievance, but the city's demand be-
ing fair and right is not to be compro-
missed for "a mess of potash.
The Caucasian repeats its queries of
recent date:
Are the people ready and willing to
surrender franchise privileges valued at
millions of dollars for the transfer priv
ileges. which they will acquire in time
without sacrifice if they be patient and
insist on having square deal.
when the value of the franchises of
the Traction Company is considered,
and when it is realized that these fran
chises were obtained for a song, it is
surprising that the company should and
is now resisting a fair and reasonable
demand of the people.
This proposition or issue is more Sc
rious than it would seem to be on its
face. Is the Times ready and willing
to stand up for the people i'll opposition
to the equalization OF these valuable
franchises for pittance, as 1t were,
involving the transfer privileges, from
which only limited number would de-
rive benefit?
Is the Times ready and willing to
make the fight for the transfer privileges
without sacrificing the rights of the peo-
pie and without yielding to an unreas-
enable demand of the company?
In this contention The Caucasian is
actuated by sense of fairness to all
concerned 1t is true several of IT'S
friends are directly interested in or are
connected with the company, which IS,
from cold business view, endeavorlng
to acquire A valuable concession, but
| these friendly and these neighborly SEN
timents must be set aside when in an is
sue so important is involved; an issue
that should be settled when the terms of
each charter OF each line of the Traction
Company shall have or shall be within
a reasonable limit of expiration and not
thirty four years in advance of its end.
We repeat: We should be fair to the
company, but we should also be equally
fair to the people. and not give away a
valuable privilege for "a mess of pot
ash.
