Because Of Action Concerning Is.
Because Of Action Concerning Is.
tate OF Belfast Man.

Washington, June 2J.-COnSul Cen
elaI Rodgers, late of Shanghai ami re-
Gently transferred to Havana. left
Washington yesterday for Havana, af
tef having received the instructions Of
the state department for his guidance
III his new duties. The consul Is pro-
cccding under rush orders from the de-
partment SO that liz las not been arlc
to avail himself Of the usual leave of
absence in his own country. The eX-
planation is to be found in the fact
that the department is under pledge
to relieve Mr.. Steinhardt as American
consul general ut Havana by juiy i
and it YVES regarded as desirable to
afford tho Two officials an opportunity
for conference before the change was
made.
Incidentally the desire of Mr.. Rod
gers to faithfully carry out the wish
es of the department led him into what
promised tn be serious trouble. Just
as he was about t. sail from Shanghai
the consul general received visit
from Judge Whitley of the United
States court there. who informed him
that an American lawyer in Shanghai,
named @. +. Curtis. was seeking to
bring an action against the consul gem
eral, claiming damages Of S55,o0o gold,
on account of Mr.. Rodgers action in
the administration Of the estate oc
the late Henry ii. Cunningham of
Belfast, Me, who died i'll Shanghai a
snort time ago.
Judge Whitley. it is understood. al
lowed Mr.. Rodgers to depart und,r
the impression that he would not en-
terrain any such action i'll his court.
1t was only upon arriving in this
country that Mr. Rodgers learned shat
Mr.. Curtis has filed the complaint.
He acquainted the state department
with the facts in the case from his
point of view. These We're that the
Cunningham estate had been admin
lStcred by the American consul general
precisely as were all estates of other
Americans dying at Shanghai and that
the point made by Mr. Curtis was
purely technical 1t did not i'll any way
reflect upon the integrity of the official
but it denied the right of the American
consular court to exercise the func-
lions of a court of probate Part of the
action necessary in such cases was
the bringing of q suit in Maine in
the name of Albert w. Cunningham
TO have the will Of III. ii. Cunningham
prohated there
Acting upon Mr.. Rodgers cxplana-
ton, the state department has cabled
TO W. Porter Boyd, American vice
consul general at Shanghai, to accept
service in this suit and the depart
ment will press it to conclusion. re-
Serding it as highly desirable that the
right of consular courts to act il. a
probate capacity should be conclusive
~ established.

The Parting ode by Edward AuGustin
buddy of Portland vas written to the
air Come lack to Erin and was as
follows:
Bowduin we leave thee. o Mother Beata,
Leave tIec, but leave thee as never be
fore.
Thy sons forever we sing in thy honor
Our parting tribute to thee We adore.
Dear were the Eours that we passed i'll
thy bosom,
Fond are the mem ries we bear in our
hearts.
Softly the leaves in the trees sigh above
Sad are thy sons when It's time to de-
part.
Chorus.
Then farewell to Bowdoin. our dear
Farewell the scenes ard the friends that
we knew,
Clasp bands. O comrades, the suns set
ting lower,
And it's the parting of friends good and
true.
And through life's journey, wiIate're be
fates sorting,
backward our thoughts we will aye
turn TO thee,
Rack to the moment Of sadness and part
ing
When from thy guidance we went forth
SO free.
Faint tho our hearts be in darkness and
struggle,
Din tho our eyes with sad memory )
tears
Thy halls will rise like vision of sp'en-
dor,
Strong with new hope we will fly cross
the years.

MORE REVENUE
FOR THE SCHOOLS
Meeting at Courthouse Saturday
Appoint Committees to
Confer With Councils
Of Incorporated
Towns.

In response to ameeting OF all those
interested in good roads and in the
schools about forty people assembled
ct the court house last Saturday.
Neasly all of those we're from the
country and q large number of them
were school trustees.
Supt. v. L. Roy called the meeting
to order, and after stating the object
of the meeting, suggested that chair
man and secretary be elected. Fol-
lowing his suggestion Mr.. F. G. Mou-
ton was made president and Mr.. Roy
secretary.
Mr.. MoutOn stated that the first thing
before the meeting according to the call
was to discuss the question of more
revenues for the schools. Some dis
cussion took place, after which mo-
ton by Mr.. J. o. Broussard was car
ried: That the the school board men,
her the superintendent, and the trustees
of each of the towns of Broussard,
Scott, G Carencro and Youngville be ap-
pointed committee to confer with the
respective town councils to ask that
fifty per cent of the revenues derived

porpriate their just proportion of the

WHAT HE FELT LIKE.

It was the first time he had sung
in an Episcopal choir, and he felt
strangely out of place in the vest
ments he wore. The other choris-
ters looked comfortable enough, but
the new one was sure he would trip
on the skirts of his cassock when
he went up the chancel steps, and he
knew that if he did not stop perspir-
ing his clean linen Gotta would be
sadly n,ussed. The opening prayer
had been intoned by the rector, and
the singers were in line waiting for
the introduction to the professional
to te played, when one of the basses
whispered in the new mans ear:
"You're a tenor, aren't you?"
81 suppose SO" he replied, "but l
feel like a twospot."

A SAND GUSHER
Well Bored by HeywoOds and
Guffey-Galey Co: Blows
At 500 Feet
Gas Good Indication. Believed Oil
Will be Found Deeper.

Friday morning at ) o'clock a we'll
bored by the Heywoods and the Cuff
ey-Galey Company blew out with ter
rife force, shooting up sand and
stones to a height OF forty or fifty feet
above the derrick, compelling the
workmen to abandon the we'll and the
machinery. After the discharge had
continued for short time the well be-
gan to eject water also. The spouting
continued all day until about 4:15 in
the afternoon when it ceased.
The we'll is situated on the Antoine
Patin tract about 1000 feet west of the
gusher, and is only 800 feet deep.
The pressue of gas is good indi-
cation of oil and it is believed that
oil will be found deeper If this
proves to be the case it will consider
ably widen the field.
The report of the sand gusher
caused quite . lot of town people to
make the trip to Anse Ia Butte, and
had the gusher persisted, the motor
car would have had q tremendous
traffic for day or two.

The favorite Southern actress, Flor
ence Davis, will be the attraction at
the Jefferson Theatre Saturday night,
December %, on which occasion
she will be seen in her latest comedy
success, "A Question of Husbands. a"
Translated from Victoria Lardaus
sDivarcons" in her disposition, yet
one in whom the startling value of an
aroused womanhood is developed un-
der conditions of very trying char
acter.
Cyprenne, as developed in the
drama ga Question of Husbands"
is confronted by the necessity of a
decision between the man whose name
she bears and pretending lover who
endeavors to ensnare her into trap
of his own setting and fails because
the genuine worth of the woman reas-
serts itself and is Carried into perth
ent effect by the, skill and ease with
which her husband succeeds in unen-
tangling her from web of compromis-
ing difficulties. Possibility of the
divorce court is used by the pretend
ing lover to cause her to assume a
position favoring him and his impor-
tunities, and wherein she is seemingly
willing to violate the oath of allegian-
ces made at the alter. The story is not
an ordinary one, though even it in
wolves the time-worn themes of love
intrigue. 1t is well-woven, and the fig
ments of i'm agination are often known
in private life, although one seldom
hears of them unless in the confidence
of the principles or they are developed
in the divorce court.
Florence Davis is a typical Cypri-
enne. To use hackneyed but always
expressive term, she is built to fill the
part, and, added to this, is matter of
the art of acting. Genuine art is
that which conceals itself and Florence
Davis has the rare capability of being
natural on the stage.
The husband of Cyprienne, charac-
ter successfully filed by Elliott Dex-
ter, is a man of seemingly easy-going
disposition, but who know that fine
art and a rare one too-of successfully
managing a woman. Mr.. Dexter is
an actor of wide repute, and success
fully compliments the stage work of
Florence Davis.

exhibition of recklessness surpass
this? But it is not all. The block
system, if used is reasonable safe
guard. But the roads that have it neg
iect it, disregard it, so as to save
money. Again, trains are dangerous
ly under-manned. There is not a su-
perfuOus man in the service and too
few are on trains for safe operation
Freight trains especially-often mile
lOng-have only two brakemen or
trainmen for the whole.
American railway managers, says
Mr.. Cease 'are as a rule practical
railway men. They are capable and
understand their business, and it is
not entirely their fault that affairs are
as they are. 1t is the fault of the
financial system that demands divi-
dends first, for if the manager can not
get financial returns that experts the
oretically show the boards of direc-
tors they ought to get. they will be

think they can. The railroads have
made money. They ought to be made
to use some of it in practices and ap-
pliances that promise safety in train
operation and the minimizing of rail-
road disaster. +"
There is not the least doubt that Mr..
Cease makes plain statement of fact
when he says that the main objective
of the American people is money and
as railroad shareholders demand div
idends before anything else this brings
about the results he has described. In
the meantime thousands of people are
slaughtered on the railroads annually
because they demand speed in their
wild pursuit of money and are willing
to stake chances rather than to seek
safety for themselves. It seems to Us
that Mr.. Cease has clearly demonstra-
ted the fact that Fundamentally the
fault for the horrible disasters on the
railroads is with the American people
themselves. 1t is very evident that the
moment they refuse to tolerate reckless
railroad operation and demand safety
they will get it.-N. o. States.
