PORTLAND FORTUNE
TELLERS GET BIG FINES

POrtland,-Evidently having no
faith in the ability of mortals to be
able to delve into the past, present
and future through the medium Of
cards, unseen spirits, the sviar system
of palmistry, Police Judge Bennett
today convicted three Of the seven
fortune tellers arrested last week and
find them $75 apiece, says the Tele-
gram.
Mrs. Sophia Seip, Marion Correlll
and Mrs. A. l.. Stephens, the defend
ants, through their attorneys, at once
gave notice Of appeal, and each filed
bonds of $3.50 to guarantee their ap-
pearance in the upper court. The Sc
verify Of the fines came as a great
shock to the trio, but Judge Bennett
is undoubtedly Of the opinion that
only through the imposition of heavy
penalties can the fakirs be driven
from the city.
Judge Henry McGinn appeared for
Mrs. Seip, and in his argument took
occasion to severely arraign the po-
lice for the methods employed in
gathering evidence. The attorney
heatedly declared that it was abso-
lutely contemplate to employ detec-
tives to entrap the defendants, and
the officers were equally guilty the
law not commencing such procedure.
Deputy City Attorney Grant, in re-
ply, stated that the manner in which
the police had secured evidence of
the violation of the law was COM
mendable and legitimate.
1t is understood that the cases will
be taken to the supreme court if con-
victions are secured by the city in the
upper court, the attorneys holding

A Few Why's?

The following timely suggestion
from the Sabine Banner apply with
equal force to practically all the
parishes throughout the state:
Seven acres in tomatoes up in the
Ozarks furnish enough fruit to bring
the Gamers $4,000. The canned fruit
is bought by wholesale houses by the
car load and contracted for from year
to year. Why could not raising and
canning of tomatoes be made a great
industry in Sabine? More pounds of
meat are shipped into Sabine than
all the scrub hogs in the parish
would weigh, IL fat Why could not
the farmers raise enough meat to
supply themselves and the home mar
ket? Poultry brings a greater profit
for the money invested than anything
else on the farm. Why don't the far
mers of Sabine raise more chickens
and better chickens? Sabine parish
produces the best sugar cane syrup in
the world. Why don't the cane grow.
ers organize, make a uniform quality
of syrup and seek a worldwide mar
ket? Parish fairs are the best agen
cy yet employed to advertise the re
sources of a country. Why shouldn't
there be fair in Sabine parish? NJ
country ever improved without the
proper effort being made. Why dom
all the people of Sabine become
boosters.

MoB's ACTION is A MYSTERY
Negro Taken From Jail Can Not BE
Found.

Hobo" Brown Roberts, a negro
placed in the West Baton Rouge par
ish jail, charged with being impli-
Gated in the murder of ]. Rivet on
Christmas day at Adds, formerly
known as Baton Rouge Junction, was
taken from the jail by a party of un-
known men. His whereabouts have
not been ascertained. In an inter-
view Sheriff Parker said: Saturday
night a party of men went to Jailer
Legendre's house and said they had
a prisoner. When Mr.. Legendre
came out and was about half way
to the Jail, they surrounded him, and
at the point of revolvers forced him
to deliver Roberts to them. At the
term session of the court in March
the negro was not convicted, there
being not enough evidence against
him, but the district attorney put
the case in the docket for the Sep
tember term of court. 1t is believed
that the negro was merely whipped
with the intention of obtaining the
secret of the whereabouts of the
murderer of Rivet, a negro Nose Glib
son, and then turned him loose. As
yet neither the negro nor his where
abouts have been ascertained by me
nor my deputies"

Suffering From Heavy Rains.

During the past week 'Ae section
contiguous to Covington has been Wis
tied almost daily by heavy rains that
put a stop to all farm work. Ia
some sections of the PARISH haii
storms of exceptionally severity have
fallen, destroying the crops. In some
instances the hail stones have been
as large as tea-cups. In the northern
part of st. Tammany parish and IN
parts of Washington parish small tor
nadoes have passed, blowing down
considerable timber as well as dam
aging crops, fences and outhouses.

latest news IN LOUISIANA
School Row Blossoms Out in
Webster Parish.
Another ONE IS on AT BELLE ROSE
New Law Giving the Superintendent
the Selection of All Teachers is
Involved. Government Con-
tracts for Oil.

Another school row has bloomed
forth. This controversy is the first
one reported as a result of the new
law passed by the last general assem-
bly,, which practically gives the Sc
lection of the teachers to the Parish
Superintendent of Education. The
new law provides that the Parish
School Board shall elect as teachers
in the public schools persons rec
ommended to 1t by the Parish Super
intendent. In a great majority of
parishes this law has worked very
well, and little friction has been caus-
ed, but some clashes are reported.
From Webster Parish the most Sc
rious row has followed giving this
authority to the parish superinten-
dent. Superintendent T. w. Fuller
has declined to recommend to the
local Minden Board c. A. Ives as
principal of the Minden school be-
cause he says that Mr.. Ives had crit
cised his work as superintendent. The
Minden Board, however, went ahead
and elected Mr.. Ives to the position,
in spite of Mr.. Fuller's declaration
that he would not recommend him
for the place, and now the Parish
School Board is making an effort to
settle the trouble. The squabh1e
will attract attention because Mr.
Ives is one of the best-known school
men in the state and was at one time
president of the Louisiana School,
Teachers Association, coupled witt
the further fact that this is the frs
row as a result of the new law giving
the superintendent the authority tC
name the teachers.

School Mixup.

: There is something of a mixup in
school affairs at Belle Rose; the
strouble was brought about when Su-
perintendent Alleman, refused to re-
commend Prof. Seally, the principal

past three years, for appointment
next term. A number of the friends
and patrons of the Belle Rose School
are taking sides with Mr.. Seally and
are circulating a petition to have
him remain at Belle Rose.
