proaclp6f the date set for the
performance of their obliga-
ton, but the matter has now
beer brought the attention in
a manner that demands seri-
GUS notice and response.
Col. Lansing H.. Beach,
United States engineer in
charge Of this district, has
addressed q letter to Com
missioner ]. @. Humphreys,
chairman of;the joint execu-
tive committee of the two
levee boards, asking to be in
formed what steps are being
taken to construct the locks |
and remove the dam.
At the request of Mr.. Hum
phreys, Major Frank NJ. Kerr, !
chief state engineer, is prepar-
ing a reply to Col. Beach,
which will review the his-|
tory of the affairs, reciting
the in4ffectual efforts of the)
leyee boards to get q resona-
BILE bid for the lock lconstruc-I
ton that woald come within
the d liisff financial rel
sources, and their utter ina
bility to undertake the work |
now or IN the near future.
Although the secretary of I
war has authority to ORDER
the removal Of the dam if the
locks are not built by the be
ginning of the new year, it is
not to be supposed for an in
slant that this prerogative
will be exercised nnder exist
ing conditions, because the
cutting aud partial destruc-
ton of the leYee along the
Bayou Lafuurche since the
dam was built has impaired
the continuity'of the embark
ments to such an extent that
they no longer offer protec-
ton to the valley, and no of

DE MANOVITZ
 WOULD BE COUNT

Step up girls! There's a real live Baron in town. The best part of all he's batchelor. Baroness DeMone- vitz: how would that suit you for a title? Herman DeManevitz claims that he is a Russian baron and wants to have the title affixed to his name. Now Herman has been in this country since November. 1904. Like many oth- CTS he wanted to become a citizen of the United States. but the law says a foreigner must reside here for five years. Herman took out his first pa pers in July. 1905, and must wait till November. 1909, before he is declared citizen. Herman appeared at the County Court house this morning with his first papers, and also produced a lengthy document outlining his pedi- gree. He is 26 years old and short.
 DeManevitz wanted the title Bar on'' prefixed to his name. It was not in the power of the court to grant the request. If he should have the title added he would have to renounce it when admitted to citizenship. Count DeManevitz said that he lived on Lafayette street in this city. and in herited his title from his father He came to this country to get money.

 Among other things, he says:

 The bag lost by Mrs. Cole contained about $5,000 worth of jewels and only a very small portion Of them have been recovered, if those now in the hands of the police are her property. The diamonds and other preciousg stones with which the rings wore oncsl set have been removed which makes the recovered valuables worth very little.
 It is thought that the stones have been sold in New York. The local police have kept a close lozout for these jewels in all the local pawnshopsl but they have been unable to find any of them. The case promises to be the most interesting and hard fought which has been in the city court 1n a long time.
 Mir. Cole said this afternoon f1fha while he had not had time to person. ally identify the 1ewelry given to the police by Gordon. as that which his wife owned. he felt sure, from what he had heard. that it was his wife'a property.
