The Appropriation Committee OF
louisiana House has before it two
propositions looking to the appropria-
honsof money for the erection of mon
uments to men who played proml-
nent part in the history Of the Con-
federate States. A strong movement
has existed for some time looking to
the erection Of monument to the
only President Of the Southern Con-
federaey, Jefferson Davis, the man
who stood at the head Of the South
ern cause, who represented its spir-
It, who was the target for the attack

from It's failure and collapse. Equally,

Convention. Echoes.

The mammoth platform in the con-
veation hall was 200 feet square and
accommodated 1900 people.
The banking interests, che corpora
ton representatives were solidly for
Taft. They are said to have been au.
thorized to spend anything to prevent
q Roosevelt third term agitation.
The band at the convention occu'
pied an aerial platform in front OF the
rostrum. A buzzer on the chairman n's
table enabled him to control the music
by a signal to the band leader.
The finest banner ON display at the
convention was carried by California:
The gavel used to open the conven4
!, tiou was OF more than passing inter.
est, being made from a log preserved
from old Fort Dearborn.
The Kansas delegates were easily
distinguished by immense sunhoWers,
Which they wore.
Wednesday Senator Beveridge of In
diana offered a resolution extending
greetings to John Ade of Indiana, a
veteran of the republican party, and
rendering him a seat on the platform.
Mr., Ade. who is the father OF George
AIDE. was heartily applauded.
Among the noted visitors at the
convention were Mrs. Nicholas Long
worth, Mrs. Timothy L. Woodruff.
Ambassador and Madame Jusserand
of France and Ambassador and Mrs
Bryce of Great Britain.

Professor Is DISCHARGED.

I The case Of Prof. ]. L. Cook, of
Youngsville, indicted by the grand ju-
ry for assault and battery on a pu-
pll, Ledier Comeaux, on March IL,
was called and Judge Pugh recused
himself, and appointed Attorney C.
u. Caffery as judge and hoe. The ev-
Idence showed that although the whip
ping had been rather severe, the phys
lcal condition Of the child accounted
largely for the marks and bruises on
his body. Judge Caffery considered
the law permitted corporal punish
ment, in schools, and that in this in
stance Prof. Cook had not apparent
ly exceeded his authority in the de-
gree Of chastisement, and discharged
the accused. s4S+@

Good Crop Prospect.

While light showers would not af-
feet the growing crops throughout the
state, unfavorably, the absence of a
superabundance of rain is appreci-
ated by the planters, and crop condi-
tlons are reported to be highly IA
vorable so far, despite those reverses
peculiar to the earlier portions of
the planting season. Heavy rains in
terfered with the planting and caus-
ed replanting in many sections, but
these unfavored sections sem to have
recuperated from the retarding in
fluences and to be at this time in
fairly good condition.

LIE sentence in Sing Sing prison for
the murder Of William Marsh Rice, an
aged Texan millionaire, for a writ Of

vent him from enforcing Rice's will,
