PARA GRASS IN PORTO RICO.
Edttor Louisiana f-tantcr.

EdELOT LOUISIANA xt0RtcT.
note some discussion lately In your col
umns regarding Para grass Perhaps som9
information regarding this front Porto Rico
will be of interest to your readers. This
grass, which is known here as Malojillo,
makes the larger part of the feed for our
horses and cattle. 1t grows on the low
wet lands, while Guinea grass is the product
of our high lands. The low lands Of Porto
Rico are devoted to two crops, /. e., sugar
cane and Para grass. When it becomes adj
visable to change a field from cane it is al
lowed to grow up i'll this grass, which it does
very rapidly after the cane is abandoned.
To get the land back into cane the grass is
grazed and piowed under. BY close culti-
walton of the cane together with the shading
of the ground, the Para grass is soon stamp
ed out.
To plant a piece Of ground to Para, the
grass is plowed under, after which it very
readily sprouts and soon covers the ground,
sending roots Down from each joint.
The grass is considered very highly IN
Porto Rico and form ms the exclusive feed for
the larger number of our horses and CATTLE
especially dairy cattle. In sections where
Guinea grass grows, however, better peer
and work cattle are produced.
Hay made from Para grass is not re!ished
Dy our hLUChs Dc ~ SAc"oo f" SNO""
the year it is fed Immediately after cutting,
as a rule, only enough being cat for the
daily needs. Horses, mules and cattle that
have been brought to the Station from the
states will not eat imported hay after they
get a taste of the Para grass, which they
much prefer.
1 am unable to say whether this grass
will be a wise introduction for Louisiana,
but probably it would, as it produces n large
amount of very valuable feed. At the same
time in the land that is to be broken' and
cultivated it will require extra labor to get
it out. The Guinea grass, however, would
be o valuable acquisition for some OF the
drier sections of Western Texas. This
grass should be propagated from stools
rather than from seed. The custom IN
Porto Rico is to set small lunches one toob
apart. and it is either cut or grazed. 1t Is
D bunch grass and does not spread Ike the
Para grass. OF all the grasses tried at the
Experiment Station. we have found nothing
that will equal Guinea grass on the hign
lands md Para grass on the low lands -
producing feed for our live stock. and aftsS

er also appeared to be painfully hurt.

cations of more serious injury were
found, concussion of the brain and pos
sibly other serious internal injuries be-
ing feared, DR.. Stryker remained I'M
conscious until early evening, when he
was able to answer few questions.
Three of the drivers ribs were broken,
but 1t is expected he win recover.

MANSLAUGHTER VERDICT
AGAINST FOUR MEN
Result of Trial of Six Sicilians in Bos-
ton Court, Verdict Being Rendeded
This Morning-Two Men
Discharged.

Boston, Oct. 2o.-Four Sicilians were
found guilty today of manslaughter af-
ter trial of two weeks ON the charge
of numbering Peter Needham, a railway
switchman on Atlantic avenue. Two
others who were tried with them were
discharged.
During yesterday afternoon the corri-
dors OF the court house were crowded
with friends of the accused men. At 4
o'clock Judge Schofeld sent for the
jury. He explained the method of an
swering the questions on the printed
form. and told them that if they reach
ed a verdict while the court was not
sitting they should seal it and present
it at the opening Of court today.
His honor in charging the jury ex.
planned the difference between murder
in the second degree and manslaughter.
and in accordance with the request Of
counsel for the defense instructed the
Jury that if there was no malicious in
tent on the part of the defendants when
the trouble first began. or if they only
intended using their fists, that fact
should be weighed by the jury in con
sidering the question of intent as to
the stabbing which caused the death Of
Needham.
Judge Schofeld occupied two hours
in delivering his charge, which was lis
tened to intently by the six defend
ants. Di Pace, Taormino, Orlando. Ger
nlanieo. Cardenelli and Zengari. al
though several Of them were unable to
understand the import Of what the
judge was saying.

WOMEN CHAINED
In PARLIAMENT
To Prevent Their Being Ejeeted-They
Shrilly Cried For The Right to
Vote and Showered Hand
Bills.

London, Oct. 29.--Whle the HousC
Of Commons was in session last even
ing sensation was caused by the dis
play of a plaeard and sudden shrill
cries from the ladies' gallery demand
ing votes for women, while simultane'
ously a bundle of hand bills fluttered
down from the strangers gallery al
the opposite end Of the chamber and a
man shouted protests against "injus'
tice to women"
Attendants hurried to the galleries
and the male offender was unceremon-
iously elected, but from the ladies' gal
lery sounds were heard Of a desperate
struggle. Two suifragettes~ had firmly
chained themselves 10 the grille and
resisted for a time all efforts at re-
moval, crying continuously in shrill
tones their demands for votes.
The scene was watched with amaze
ment from the floor Of the House but
finally the suffragettes were dragged
from their posts and removed but only
after portions Of the grille itself were
removed with them
Ten minutes later there was another
dramatic scene a man in the strangers
gallery flinging another bundle of bills
down upon the house and shouting:
"Why don't you give women votes and
relieve the unemployed"
Attendants rushed upon him but he
resisted fereely the attempts made to
carry him bodily from the gallery. Af-
tar a desperate struggle, the attend
ants succeeded in cjecting the man.
About the same time large body of
the suffragetes made a demonstration
outside the Parliament building and Is
of them were arrested.
The removal of the two militant suf-
fragettes presented a comical scene to
those in the corridors Both Of the Of
finders were laughing heartily as they
were escorted by posse of policemen,
one of the offenders carrying that por-
tion of the iron work of the grille to
which the women were chained. They
were conducted into a committee room
and workmen we're summoned to file
off the iron from the chains which were
securely padlocked around the women's
waists II was found that the chains
had been carefully padded to prevent
Eoise and betrayal when the suffra
gettes entered the ladies' gallery. Ac-
cording to their companions, the whole
thing had been planned beforehand with
great secrecy One band was to demon
strate outside the building, another in
the lobby of the house and a third in
the gallery. The gallery contingent
fourteen, but it was attend
ded by many passive sympathizers.
Twelve suffragettes and one man
sympathzer were today given prison
sentences of from one week to a month
for participating in last evenings out
break and the ensuing demonstration
in Parliament square. Given the al
tentative Of fines, they as usual chose

SENTENCED
TO PAY $500
John Scampini in County
Court To-day
WIFE'S CASE IS DROPPED
The Former Was Taken With a Fit and
Word Got Around That He Had
Tried to Commit
Suicide.
WIFE'S CASE IS DROPPED

The trial Of Mrs. John Scampini in
Washington county court was halted this
forenoon when her husband went into
court and announced that he would accept
sentence in the case Of selling liquor, on
which he was convicted last week. The
trial of Mrs. Scampini was on a similar
charge and it had already occupied about
two days. When the husband told the
court that he would not contest the YER
dict in his case by taking the case TO
supreme court on exceptions, States At
torney Gates withdrew the prosecution
of Mrs. Soampini. The case against her
was held open, but II Is probable that
it will never be brought TO trial.
The court then sentenced John Scam
pini TO pay $500 and the costs Of the
trial Shortly after that, the respon.
dent was taken with fit while standing
in the county jail talking with his wife,
and in falling he struck his head on the
furniture. Mrs Scampini screamed,
which called Mrs. Tracy, wife of Sheriff
Tracy. Thinking that Mr. Scampini had
committed suicide, Mrs. Tracy rushed
outdoors and seeing Chief of Police Dur.
kee across the street called to him that
the man had tried to kill himself Sew.
eral persons on the street heard Mrs
Traey's statement and thus the word
spread that John Scampini had killed
himself DR.. c. f. Chandler, who was
soon called, announced that the man
was simply suffering from a fit and
that in falling he got cut on the back
OF the head The injured man shortly
recovered and is none the worse except
for the cut on his head
Angelo Scampini, a brother, said that
John had those attacks once in a while,
that he had one while at Waterbury and
that previously he had an attack of the
same nature in Boston.
Following the collapse Of the case
against Mrs. Seampini. the trial Of State
vs.. Charles Pelkey Of Barre, charged with
larceny, was taken up in court. In the
case Of State vs., Josie Santisban OF
Barre, charged with the illegal keeping
of liquor, it has been recommended that
the woman be placed on probation fol-
lowing her plea Of guilty to the alleea-
tion. Mrs. Santisband has nursing
baby, and her attorney, Richard 4. Hoar.
pleaded that jail was not the place for
the infant States Attorney Gates told
the court that be had no recommends
tion to make in the matter, leaving it to
the court.
