MINORITY OF
BATON ROUGE
GRAND JURY
MAKES REPORT
Bearing On Alleged Recent Shortage Ia.
iSting in City Ireaufer'S Office
in Baton Rouge.


Jury Investigations of East Baton
Rouge. A majority of eight
brought in a report Of the ordi.
nary routine nature, but mi.
nority of three presented au
electrifying report. This minori.
ty was composed of W. u. Con
nell, foreman; X. {. Gordon and
r. l.. Goyer. The report was
filed over the protest of District
Attorney Wax.
The report first dealt with a
number of crimes and miSde.
meanOrS wherein no true bills
were brought in and concerning
which the minority contended
that the grand jury exceeded its
powers by examining into the
motive and justification for these
criminal acts. In this cOnten
ton, the minority was upheld by
Judge Brunot who said: There
has grown up within recent
years a practice to try eases in
the grand jury room which is
dangerous. The theory of the
grand jury is that they are not
to take in consideration motives,
or reasons. A grand jury is 10
consider only the facts rs given
it by witnesses. and the law rs
applicable 10 these facts. The
motive why the person being
investigated did certain thing,
should not be considered. That
should come out before a petty
Jury on the trial Of the case "
The sensational feature OF the
, report was when the res II was
made public of Expert Examiner
Lloyd, who was employed by the
grand jury to examine the form,
, er city treaSurer's books, saying;
"Mr. Lloyd's report showed

ed incapable Of breaking down, he
thought, but when he mounted in the

TO work. The starting crank broke
and the experiments had to be aban-
doned.
THE Matin to-day publishes q

Ions, who was Bolotofs assistant dur
ing the aforementioned experiments,
and he declares that not only did the
crank refuse to work, but the mag
neto suddenly returned to its posi-

result that he narrowly escaped seri-

LOUISIANA CORN IS IN

Louisiana corn in great demandi
That does sound strange.
Il used to be the case that West
ern corn was in great demand in

It used to be the case that the
Louisiana farmer made cotton in
order to get money with which to
buy corn from Westerners.
The changed condition BODIES we'll
Louisiana is shipping corn-Louis-
lana no longer depends on a single
crop, cotton.
This is well, indeed.
The following is from the Shreve-
port Times:
The Louisiana corn crop is finding
a ready market not only through
- PC
New Orleans as an export market
but also in Mississippi, and Texas,
and Shreveport as . grain center is
attracting attention throughout this
section Of the country.
w. E. GlasselI, who has done more
towards inducing the farmers to raise
this years bumper corn crop than
any one else, said yesterday that in
quiries are coming from all sections
Of the country and so wide has been
the publicity given the crop through
the columns of The Times that the
demand even greater than the crop
is assured the growers without any
degree Of effort.
W. Collier Estes returned yester-
day from d short business trip to
Dallas, They are talking about buy
ing Louisiana corn in Dallas said
Mr.. Estes yesterday. The people
over there think it rather odd that
Shreveport should be selling them
corn after Louisiana has been a con
sumer Of the Texas crop for all these
years, but such is going to be The
case this year."

the Missouri, Kansas and Texas vas

Peeler's visit to Shreveport was to
make necessary arrangement for the
Katy exhibits at the State Fair this
year. Speaking Of conditions as he
