The threads are thus

The grand jury. which was in
session from Monday until Fri
day afternoon, made the follow.
ing report:
Lafayette, La, June 5, 1908.
To the Hon. Philip S. Pugh, Judge
18th Judicial District Court, IN
and for Lafayette Parish. La:
Your grand jury, appointed on last
Monday and charged by your Honor
able Court to look into the affairs OF
the parish. has completed its work
and beg to make the following report:
Upon your instructions we have
cursorily looked over the books OF the
sheriff, tax-collector and treasurer,
finding same kept in a neat, compre-
hensive and satisfactory manner.
A visit to the Jail was made and
everything found clean and splendidly
kept. The few prisoners found therein
reporting gentle and humane treat
ment. Going to the city hall we found
the clerks records and books in first
class shape and as we'll cared for as
circumstances permit. A most urgent
and necessary Recommendation as re-
cards them will follow little later on
ia this report.
Thorough inquiry as regards the
public roads, the great arteries OF
commerce and industrial prosperity,
disclosed the fact that the general con-
dition Of most of them is bad, that
there is room for great improvement
In the matter of roads and especially
is this the case with the roads OF the
eighth ward, which are the worst
roads of the parish. The public roads
OF the second ward and first ward are
also far from being what they should
be, although their condition is not as
bad as those of the eighth ward. We
would therefore recommend that the
Police Jury take immediate actor
looking towards the Improvement ant
betterment Of the public roads OF thu
parish In general and especially those
Of the first. second and eighth wards
We are pleased to inform YOU
Honor that the public school system
Of our parish is in excellent condition

ing been made in recent years. Mucl
credit is due the School Board ant
great credit is also due the citizens
y. in many wards they have volunta

however, that it is necessary for us t

IMPORTANT MEASURES
Before Legislature This Week.
Race Gambling up for Final
Passage To-day.
Prospects Bright for Bill Against
Bucket Shops. nti-Future Trad
ing Bill Doomed.

Baton Rouge, June 8.-Chief
of the items on this weeks pro-
gramme are the Locke bill and
the Shattuck liquor license
measure, both of which will be
brought into prominence Tues
day, the former coming up on
final passage in the House and
the latter being called for public
hearing before the Ways and
Means Committee.
Banking on about the same
proportionate vote in the House
as in the committee, the anti
race gambling bill should receive
about 100 affirmative, and this
may be accepted as pretty ac-
curate forecast. MIR. Locke
processes confidence for safe
margin for the measure in the
Senate.
So complicated is the Shattuck
bill and so diverse are the inter-
ests concerned therein that its
fate is problematical, and large
discussion is assured. On one
hand are the absolute prohibi
ZIONIST; on another are the dry
parishes, which fear the damp
ness; still further are irrigated
sections in dread of drOuth
while lastly are the liquor men,
the fate of whose business hangs
in the balance. In reconcilinp
these interests the committee
has a task of great magnitude
Il While the MarstOn anti-future
trading bill is undoubtedly doom
: ed to destruction, prospects seen
, bright Tor Puckett's bill agains'
bucket-shopping. and the en-
dorsement of the legitimate fu
ture business by the cremation
of the Marston measure will b.
supplemented by the anti-gambl
ing bill of the member from Eas
/, Baton Rouge.
: AS a result of the prodigiou'
: protest aroused by the introduc
