Change uf Venue Denied and

under indictment for killing

citing a great deal of interest
and each day the case has been
before the court the court room
has been crowded. The applica-
ton for change of venue tiled
by Attorneys .Jno. l.. Kennedy
and Jerome MOutOn, represent
ing the accused, was taken up
Friday and continued on Satur-
day. After the examination OF
eleven witnesses Attorney Ken.

had shown prejudice against
Liable and asked that the appli-
cation be granted. District At
torney Campbell, who is assisted
in the case by Judge Minos t.
Gordy, of Abbeville. submitted
the case on the evidence brought
out. Judge Pugh denied the ap-
plication stating that the court
would exercise all it's powers to
secure full protection of all the
rights of the accused.
Yesterday. the day set for the
trial, the case was taken up.
The defendants attorneys asked
for continuance stating that
an important witness was not
present. District Attorney Camp

PROHIBITION AND
ANTI-RACINC BILLS
To Come Up in Legislature This
Week. Mr.. Potts Will Try
to Pass His Anti-OptiOn
Bill.

Baton Rouge, June l4.--This
will be the crucial week for the
General Assembly of Louisiana.
On Monday in the House the
fight over the Doussan prohibi-
tiOn bill will come up unless the
present plans miscarry. and if it
does come up it will prove to be
the livliest scrap of the session.
The issue will come upon the
motion to pass the Doussan bill
to engrossment and third read
ing
In the House the anti-future
fight will also come UP this week
over an effort to advance the
Potts bill. and while indication
seem to be against any anti-fu-
ture legislation during this ses-
sion, the friends of the measure
have not given up hope.
On Thursday night, before the
judiciary Committees A and B
in the Senate, the issue will be
brought fair and square between
the Cordill racing commission
bill and the Locke bill to prohi-
bit gambling on racing.
Those who know the opinion
of the members of the two Sen
ate Judiciary Committees, say
that the forces are nearly equal
ly divided, and as the position OF
one or two mem bers is not known
|itis impossible to tell the out
come.
| The hearing Tuesday nigh,
will be big. There will be ar

cupation (for girls) and it would
cost the State nothing additional
to prepare them properly for
that work. 1t would only be
more fully carrying out the
original purpose of the Indus
trial school, namely, to make
young people self-supporting.
And it was the desire of every
school officer in the State that all
sources of supply for home-train-
ed teachers should be as fully
drawn upon as possible. 1t was
clear that if the State didn't use
the buildings, grounds, faculty,
and organization of the Indus
trial Institute for training teach
ers in addition to its present
uses, it would be neglecting ar
an opportunity most unreas0n-
ably-especially since the State
now has to import six hundred
teachers from other States each
year.
DR.. Stephens feels that there
is a good chance for the passage
of the Mouton bill, notwithstand-
ing the zeal of the Natchitoches
people; and it is believed that il
the bill is passed the Governor
will sign it. Senator Liable is
working for the bill heart and
soul and it is believed that he
will carry it successfully through
the Senate. Senator Liable is the
successor of Senator Rober1

a strong case for the MOuton
bill, but that no Immediate re-
port was made on the bill be-
cause the member from Natchi
toches, Mr.. Friedman, requested
an opportunity for hearing to
be given the citizens of Natchi-
toches on the matter. A hear
ing was set for Thursday night,
last, and committee of fifteen
prominent citizens from Natchi-
toches was on hand; lawyers.
merchants, bankers. politicians
and others. Judge Charles V.
Porter, of the Circuit Court of
Appeals, was chief spokesman,
and said he was not speaking
for the the town of Natchitoches,
nor did he have anything to say
against Lafayette, but he would
be panied, grieved and astonish-
ed to see the State change its
policy of concentrating it's facili-
ties for training teachers in one
place. Think of the great ex-
pense of such a thing! And be-
sides wouldn't it injure the In
dustrial Institute to dilute its
loriginal purpose in such way?
AS for him. let the State give all
the money it could possibly ever
spare toward strengthening the
Normal at Natchitoches!
The Lafayette committee re-
piled that Lafayette was heartily
i in favor of strengthening the
Normal at Natchitoches in every
way. That it was not asking the
State for any more money for
the new form of organization
/ than it was already asking under
/ the old form. It was not even ask,
i ing for new building-but, on
the contrary was Offering to use
twenty thousand dollars ol
available cash from local tax tt
build such additional buildings
as are necessary for the new or
ganization. That it could no
conceive of how it might injurt
the Natchitoches Normal or il
any way affect that institution
Iexcept by taking care of a few
students from the immediate
section surrounding Lafayette
/ and save them from the expen
sive and difficult railroad jour
ney to Natchitoches whicl
would be a great relief to th
students affected-SO great as t
