To ELECT CHIEF
COUNCIL WILL SELECT A NEW
HEAD FOR POLICE DEPART
MENT TONIGHT.

Whose going to be Brunswick 5
caief of police?
That is the question which many
people are asking, but it will not
lie answered until council meets to-
.light and elect a successor to
Caiee Burney. Even the members OF
ccuncil seem to be rather at sea as
to who they will select, and if any
slate whatever has been made it has
been kept very quiet.
Of coure a long list OF names are
being mentioned and it is unoer-
stood that several applications are
OF file, but everybody seems to be
in doubt as to who will be elected.
It is expected that the full council
will be present, as much interest IS
manifested in the election.

ALEXANDRIA and ITS HOTEL
Clarion Representative Tells Of the Grand
eur Of the Bentley.

A Clarion representative had the
pleasure of being shown through the
magnificent Bentley Hotel in Alex
andria. Without doubt it is the finest
and most elaborately decorated hotel
in the South and the citizens of
Alexandria can justly feel proud Of
their hotel accommodations.
The lower floor sitting room with
its fountain in the center and large
cut flowers and palms makes one feel
as if be was in the garden of Eden.
The elaborate paintings showing the
scenes Of bounty, plenty and grandeur
of each State, the dance hall in Italian
design with magnificent paintings
from Italian masters, the rooms, the
Railways all blend in making it a
grand hotel.
The management is courteous, and
exceedingly nice to visitors.
Our representative who twelve
years ago worked in Alexandria tells
Of the great many changes that have
taken place in that time, and that
today it is indeed 'The City Beautiful

MISS DURIO HAS RECOVERED
And Pays High Tribute Her Nurse, Of Hhose
Care she Partly attributes Her Recovery

The many friends of Miss Aline
Durio will learn with pleasure that
she is up and out Of danger. In fact
she has entirely recovered.
while of course the skill of the
physicians who attended me and tte
tender care Of friends were great
factors in my recovery, I can not
Lelp but believe that | owe more to
the motherly and proficient attention
of my nurse, Miss Goa Carney, of No.
800 Valrnont street, New Orleans,
than to any other agency, said Miss
Durio. ''She was my pillar rock, and
will always love here, and fer
vently trust God will bless her for
ever Were there more like Miss
Carney in this world, it would be
more cheerful and bright" concluded
Miss Durio.

Congress wants TO Know nm About me
Enforcement OF the AlehafaEaya and Red.
FAR REACHING IMPORTANCE
And Therefore the Rivers and HsrbOFs Com.
mittee Is AnxIons for Information
on the Subject.

Washington, D. G., Jan. 26.-Con-
gresham Ransdell said to-day that
the Rivers and Harbors Committee
had agreed to instruct the Mississip-
pi River Commission to examine and
report upon the proposal to divorce
the Red and Atchafalaya rivers from
the Mississippi by damming the Red
river at its mouth. Representative
Broussard recently introduced bill
providing for a special board of FIVE
engineers to examine and report upon
this project. The committee thought
proper to refer it to the Mississippi
River Commission, as it has for years
been studying the question, which is
most intimately connect ed with the
Mississippi itself.
Since the recent agitation Of the
matter, Messrs. Ransdell and Wick.
life have had communications both
for and against it. They regard it
as a question of far-reaching i'm
portance and one which if entered
upon must be only after the fullest
hearing has been accorded to all CON
cerned and the most careful consid-
GRAFTON. Should the pending rivers
and harbors bill become a law, this
provision to refer the matter to the
Mississippi Commission will doubtless
be included, and the commission will |
begin its consideration very
in order to report to Con-
gress next December.
It is the intention Of Messrs. Rams
iell and Wickliffe to make an elabo-
ate study Of the question and they
would be glad to hear all arguments,

AT RESULT
OF SUPREME COURT
DECISION.
Ennico Gall Says People In that
Section Prefer Coming to
Opelousas than Vile Platte

Eunice voted in favor of the divi-
sion Of the parish. If we remember
right, the vote there was practically
unanimous in favor of dismembering
the old parish. Eunice went into the
fight for the parish seat, and lost.
Now Euniee is against parish division.
When the news that the Supreme
Court had decided that the act calling
for the election creating the parish
of EVangeline was announced in Eu,
nice, there was great rejoicing there.
Now comes the Eunice Gall, the old
est paper published there, with the
following statement, included in an
article speaking of the Courts deci-
sion:
Since the defeat of the PROPOSE
tion, we have interviewed many from
different sections, and without a
single exception, they are all pleased
at the Courts decision, saying that
they rather go to 0peIousas than to

FIRE DIDN'T WIPE
OUT OBLIGATIONS
Supreme Court Decision Affects
Many Suits Which Followed
Conflagration of 1906

BY decision of the supreme court
yesterday not only does the Gee Tuck
tong find itself practically s1S,40O
poorer than it was before, but owners
of buildings under construction at the
time of the 1906 fire are legally noti-
fed that they are not exonerated from
payment Just because the fire swept
away their possessions.
The decision will affect score of
suits awaiting Judgment in the superior
court and which arose out of the
failure of owners to pay contractors
for what work they had performed
Just prior to the conf1agration.
The Gee Tuck tong was erecting a
four story brick building and joss
house in Waverly place. When the
fire destroyed all but the walls the
structure was nearly completed.
Thomas Butler, subcontractor filed
a lien against the land for S2,99S.40,
and Judge Trout in the superior court
gave him judgment for that amount
and permission to foreclose. The tong
appealed.
Jordan & Cram, the contractors, have
similar suit pending for $1O.400. which
is favorably affected by the decision.
