deliberations of that body, as well as
everything that transpired in the Grand
Jury room, have been wisely made secret
Ii you have ever appeared before a
Grand Jury, you will doubtless remember
that you were sworn to ''tell the truth.
and not TO divulge anything that trans
pires in the Grand Jury 1oom.'' More
over, no Grand Juror is permitted under
the law to testify as to anything that
transplred before the Jury. A little re.
Hectlon on your part will convince YOU Of
the wisdom of this law.
regret, therefore, that | do not see nv
way clear under my oath of Office to tell
you what was my opinion to the Grand
Jury on any case. II any one has given
out what my opinion was, / would like to
know who he is.
No one but Grand Juror could know |
what that opinion, in the case referred to
me drand Jury was and il the opinion |
vas given out by member of the pres
mt Jury, which was the Grand Jury at
he time you refer to, know of no better

VIOLATION OF LAWS.

The correspondence given below will
explain itself:
Jeanerette, La, Oct. %, 1907.
Hon. e. s. BrousSdrd, District Attorneg,
NeW Iberia, La.
Dear Sir: A Law and Order League
has been formed in Jeancrette with the
following officers and membership: J. T..
Chopper, president; DR.. P A Boykin,
vice president; A. j. Dupuy, Secretary;
g. Stewart, A. N. Neal, D. c. Johnson
A. j. Provost, Jr., E. r. Jackson, Leo
Frank, J. W. Watts, F. p. PARA, G. W.

Whitworth, DR.. c. A. McGowen, Willie
Gounette, Rivers Brown, c. Provost, J.
ID. Legnon, DR.. NJ. B. Tarleton, G. W.
Whtworth, and Rev Morrison Brown.
The object of the said league is to see that
the laws are enforced. particularly the
anti-gsmbling laws, which are openly
in Jeanerette every Saturday and
Sunday with games CT keno under the very
noses Of the officers.
At meeting of the league yesterday it
was decided to ask you few plain ques-
lions, which we hope you will not take to
mean disrespect to you or your office, and
which we hope you will answer frankly
and promptly. We are actuated in this
BY our desire TO see the laws enforced.
Last Summer when Messrs. --l

youth way out in the field was
heard to cry out "Hooray for
Durocher." Instantly the Gov.
remarked: ''Sounds pretty lone
Iy, doesn't il" and the house
yelled in appreciation. Takea
in all, his speech captured the
people and made an impression
that they will not forget.
The last speaker on the pro-
s~.m was Hon. Anthony N.
Muller, who also spoke in
French and his references to
Mr.. Sander. and to Sheriff
Henderson kept the audience
during the whole of
his speech. 1t was easy to see
that it was crowd that will
give both of these gentlemen
big majoritles at the coming
primary.

were up before the Grand Jury for oper
ating keno game in Jeanerette, did that
body find true bill against them and
afterwards. upon your advice, throw it
out; or did your advise that body before
a bill was found, that those gentlemen
had not violated State law in running n
keno gamef That question is asked be-
cause 1t is currently reported on the
streets here that you did either one of
these two things, and the said report is
said to be encouraging gambling in our
town to the extent that the 20 ice and
deputy sheriffs consider it useless to make
arrests because Of the failure Of the Dis
trict Attorney to prosecute.
Another question: If this league has
arrests made in the near or distant future
will you as District Attorney, prosecute
the offenders to the best of your abilityf
This letter and your reply will be pub
Ilshed in the Parish papers. A negative
answer to the first two questions and an
Affirmative answer to the other one would
help matters considerably in Jeanerette.

DRAINAGE BOARD MEETING.

There was quite an interest
ing meeting of the Southern
District Drainage Board Satur.
day evening at which, however
no definite action was taken
l here were present, President
Delahoussaye, aad Messrs.
Fisher, lndest Renoudet and
Mayor LaughIin.
The call for the meeting WIS
at the suggestion of the repre-
sentative of the contractor, MIR.
Thomas, who with the Engineer
Mr.. w. Y. Kemper has agreed
to have a survey of this end of
the canal, if satisfactory to the
Board, for the purpose of dig
the upper end OF the canal as it
should be dug. 1t will be re-
membered that the original con-
tract was made on the Hoyt-
Guilfoux survey. Then the
contract provided that the
monthly payments should be
based on the Guiltoux-Gutte
kunst survey, and the recent
adjustment OF the difficulty pro-
vlded that the canal should be
carried out on the original sur
vey.
At recent meeting of the
Drainage Board, Mr.. Kemper
showed that this would mean
hat MIR. Thomas would have
o furnish about 8 feet of water !
t this end of the calal VIXEN it :
vas intended that he should
'rovide but six. The proposed '
ew survey will be for the pur- '
f enabling the contractor to g
rovide only six feet of water at 5
his end. The Board agreed tt
nat if the Contractor was willing
|, agree to the resurvey it was
illing to accept it.
Another matter which came
P was the railroad bridge over
he canal at the F. & A. r. r.
1t appeared that the Railroad
ompany wanted to grant the
anal Board the right OF way
ross its right of way. This
as declined for the reason that
e canal already has the right
way and as the railroad does
IT own the land over which its
lcks pass but only occupies its
rface for a right of way for its
lcks, there was no reason why
grant should be made or ac-
pied. 10 accept it would be

die BY his physicians. Mr.. Stsuber stated
that last March the doctors had told him
he would not live until May, as he was in

had consumption he had a nasty cough,
with frequent hsmorrhsges, dizzy spells,
