THE POLICE JURY MEETING
Report of District Attorney Lancaster as to the Law
Governing COrOner's Fees Etc.
The Liquor License for the Next Year Was Fixed
Hundred Dollars Parish.

post mortem examination shall be
paid by the parish or municipal
authorities, within whose jurisdiction
the inquest shall be held.
1t is evident from the perusal of the
foregoing sections of the revised
statues of this State, that fees for
viewing a dead body and inquiring in
to cause of death are only fixed by
the law. That other expenses
deemed necessary and unavoidable in
the opinion of the coroner and the
jury must be paid.
That no fee is fixed by law for hold
ing post mortem examinations, and
it is left to the coroner to fix the fee.
The Police Jury have a right to in
spect all charges of this nature, and
it is for your body to say whether the
charges of the coroner are reasonable
Or not. However, / am satisfied that
the fee of twenty-five dollars for an
autopsy or post mortem examination,
where actual surgical operation is
performed, is not excessive. It is often
that these examinations are necessary,
as they play an important part in the
trial of criminal cases.
The coroner has the right to say
whether or not an autopsy of the dead
shall be held, and in the event that he
refuses or deems it not necessary, the
coroners's jury have the right to re-
quire the examination to be performed.
The law governing the fees of coro-
ner throughout the State is antiquated
and practically of little use. The
Police Jury in this matter, as in all
other matters wherein the fees of
certain Offices are allowable by law,
and not fixed in amount, should use
discretion where the services are actu-
ally rendered. A fair remuneration
should be given. I would advise that
as the law requires the coroner to
swear to the correctness of his &C.
count, that in the future, the Police
Jury require of the coroner this for
mality. He is in a better position, with
his jury, to know all the facts and
what is necessary in expenditure, and
his oath to that effect, would to a
! great extent relieve your Board of any
danger as to extravaganza of public
money along this particular line. DIR.
Marrero, the present coroner, has held
this position for some time, and his
integrity as physician and as man,
is above reproach, and l feel satisfied
that he would not claim fee that he
was not justly entitled to. However,
it would be advisable to- follow the
strict letter of the law hereafter, and
see that the accounts of the coroner
are sworn to as required by law.
Respectfully submitted,
JOS. B. LANCASTER,
District Attorney.
1t was moved and seconded that the
above report be accepted. Carried.
It was moved and seconded that the
coroner's bill for quarter ending Sept.
30, 1908, be paid. Carried.

journ till next regular meeting. Car

MEETING OF THE PARISH TEACHERS
ASSOCIATION AT TOWN OF SLIDEIL

District met here to-day with the fol-
lowing teachers present: Pearl River,
Misses Bessie D. Simpson and M. M.
Rawlings; Alton, Miss Mary Parker;
Bayou Lacombe, Miss Meta Rodgers;
Bonfouca, Miss Gertrude Mather:
Anderson, Miss Cora A. Lane; Ridge,
Miss Elizabeth Upton; Slidell, R. S.
Crichlow, Mrs. R. S. Crichlow, Mrs.
Nina Harris, Misses L. Benson, G. S.
Mullings and S. l.. Hughes. R. S.
Crichlow, Institute Conductor, called
the association to order. Mrs. R. S
Chrichlow was elected Secretary. The
Programme Committee consisted of
w. G. Evans, r. S. Crichlow, Misses
Bessie Simpson, S. L. Hughes and
Lillian Benson. Superintendent w.
G. Evans, of Covington, discussed in
a general way the problems that con-
front the teachers Of this parish and
the best methods for their solution,
and also submitted some plans and
methods of organized study and CO.
operation during the year. The roll
call showed all present but one teacher
in the district. Geographical Infu-
enees in American History" was led
by Mrs. Nina Harris, Of Slidell, and
followed by general discussion Hints
on Rural School Grounds" was taken
up and resulted in a discussion by all
the teachers. Reports on the condi-
tion of the various schools Of the dis
trict was followed by the question Of

school and grade library, and the will
ingness of the parish to aid in their
establishment. The schools at Alton,
Pearl River and Audubon agreed tc
establish libraries.
After the noon intermission DR.,
Patton, of the Antituberculosis
League of Louisiana, addressed the
teachers in the interest of the work
being done by the League, telling of
the plans of the League to interest
the teachers in the work of arousing
the people of the State to the dangers
to the people from this source. He
pictured the dangers as being far
more serious than that threatened
from any other source. In twenty
five years yellow fever carried off 1913
persons in New Orleans, and in the
same time %, 440 persons died from
consumption. He spoke of the germ
theory of disease communication be-
ing accepted, and illustrated the
growth Of this disease from the germ
by the growth of the various field
crops from seed sown. He said that
the most ordinary means of communi-
cation of the disease is by the expecto-
ration or tuberculus persons, which,
when it becomes dried, is waited by
the winds and carried into the faces
and lungs Of persons. He condemned
the splitting on sidewalks and in other
public places as especially dangerous
to the lives of people. He spoke of
the teacher as being specially well sit
Gated to spread the knowledge Of tn

hangers or the disease, the ways 1t is
to be discovered, treated and cured.
He spoke of the work heing done in
this parish at st. Tammany, where
the League has camp where patients
have been treated and cured. He
thought one of the chief sources of
danger is from negroes who in the ad-
vanced stages of the disease go around
splitting everywhere. He spoke of
the moral responsibility the people of
the State are under to take part in
the fight against the disease, and of
the great benefits that have followed
a systematic fight in other places.
He stressed the fact that of the
pupils in school, we could easily calcu-
late that one in every ten would
die from the disease. The disease is
deadly, but durable, and it is easy to
cure cases if the patient will rest, live
on nourishing diet and live in the
open air. He was asked what pre-
cautions could be taken by teachers
to prevent the spread of the disease
among their pupils, to which he replied
that the sweepings of floors withs
out moistening them was dangerous
and suggested the use of moist saw
dust. He said another danger was
in the schoolhouse water bucket and
dipper, which it would be well to
guard by the use of individual cups.
Persistent coughs should be watched
and treated promptly; and, lastly, he
thought that they should not be allow
ed to spit upon the floor, and quoted
the motto often seen in Washington
during the late conference On tubercu-
losis, mo spit, no consumption"
The regular programme was then
taken up. Department Meetings, -
Mrs. R. S. Crichlow, discussed pri-
mary number work; Agriculture and
Home Economics in School" discuss
ed by Miss Rawlings and others;
Dynamic Factors in education" dis
cussed by Prof. R. S. Crichlow. Miss
Cora Lane, of Audubon School, read
a paper On ''The Teacher at Work, -
and discussed lesson plans.
The following programme was an
nounced for next meeting: Miss G. S.
Mullings, of Slidell, to conduct open
ing exercises; Geographical Infuen-
ces in American History" to be led
by Mrs. Nina Harris, of Slidell; Ode
partment Meetings" discussing read
ing and language work in primary
| grades, to be led by Mrs. R. S. Crich-
low; "superintendent's Critique." /" w.

The following report was read:
To the Honorable President and members ot
Police Jury for the Parish of St. Tammany.
Gentlemen-In response to the re-
quest for advice touching the ques-
tion ofathe Coroner's fees as per bill
rendered by him, received in this office
October %, 1903, after a careful pc
rusal of the law covering the powers,
duties and emoluments of the Coro-
ners office, | beg to submit the follow
ing:
The law as to the coroner's fees
are extremel meagre. Section 66s
reads as follows: A coroner, outside
of the Parish of Orleans, shall receive
for every inquest held, five dollars;
for every burial performed at his .ex-
pense, twelve dollars; and for all other
fees including the swearing and quail
Tying OF jury, the administering of
oaths, the returning of the process,
and the summoning of witnesses, five
dollars.
Section 669 provides no other fees
than those specified in the foregoing
section of this act shall be allowed to
any coroner, any law or ordinance to
the contrary notwithstanding; pro-
vided that nothing in this act shall be
construed as prohibiting the payment
by parish or municipal authorities of
necessary or unavoidable expenses
being certified to as necessary or un-
avoidable, by the coroner or ma
jority of the jury.
Section $50. 1t shall be the duty of
the coroner, if adjudged necessary,
either by himself or by majority
OF the jury, in order to ascertain the
cause of the death, to order a post
mortem examination, whether surgi-
cal only or chemical also, to be made
on the body of the subject of the in
QUESTION. And the expense of such

Ohio Man Believes His Idea Beats
Edison'e Cement Block Dwelling.
John Budd of Defiance, o., has
Edison beaten when it comes to build
ing q dwelling house at small cost and
Of new material. Edison claimed that
he could mold a cement block house at
a cost less than half the cost Of an or
binary frame dwelling, but the great
disadvantage of Edison's house is that
it is apt to be damp, while a house
built Of the composition invented by
Mr.. Budd is waterproof, according TO
the claims of the inventor, and costs
not quite as much as Edison's cement
house.
Mr.. Budd has applied at Washington
for a patent and in answer to his APP
plication has received notice that his
composition is patentable and that
steps will be taken at once to give him
protection. To give a practical dem
onstration Of his new composition Mr..
Budd is building house Of it on Sum-
NIT street, East View addition
The composition Mr.. Budd will not
make public at this time, but it is COM
posed of broken bottles, broken brick,
mud, feathers, straw and most any
thing. A framework Of the house Is
built up, and this composition is then
poured into it. After it Is dried the
framework is removed, the walls
smoothed off, and any artistic touches
| desired can be given.
The house Mr. Budd is building Is
to be of the new composition through
out, even to the floors and roof. Proof
Of the waterproof qualities Of the new
composition are demonstrated by Mr.
Budd by pouring water over cement
block and also over block Of his new
material. .--

Captain Paul Comstock is the orIgl-

Sixty-three young men are so assem-

curved letters in the candidates name
the formation is comparatively easy,
and under Captain Comstocks direction
the sixty-three readily change their for

to four irregular divisions, which put
forth the name of the party's banner
bearer.
The marchers are gayly uniformed SO
that the letters which they form stand
out boldly.
