by the talented artist, Miss Wood,
Of New Orleans, were exhibited at
the meeting. Miss Wood has also
given colored drawings of the cos

Mr.. Joseph Elchinger, captain in
charge, has already commenced the
work on the floats, and all things
point to fine parade for Mardi Gras.

Dr.. Warner
Passes Away

New Orleans, Nov 28.-Dr. Bev-
erly Ellison Warner, rector of Trinity
Church, author, lecturer, and one of
the foremost citizens of New Orleans,
died yesterday just as prayers for
his recoverey were being concluded
in his church. Although he had been
confined to his bed for week, suf-
fering from an attack of grippe, his
death was unexpected.
Yesterday, while the services were
being conducted in Trinity Church,
by the Rev. Arthur r. Price, assistant
rector, the windows of the room in
which DR.. Warner was lying were
thrown open so that he could eaten
strains of the service in his beloved
church. A fervent prayer for his
recovery, in which the congregation
Joined, had just ended when Mrs.
Warner turned from his bedside a
moment, and Mr.. Warner expired
Although the announcement was not
made in the church, Mr.. Price simply
dismissing the congregation, many
of the parishoners as they left the
church stopped at the rectory to in
ouire how their pastor was ana
learned of his death. So great was
the shock and 500 deep the feeling
of those who first learned OF his
death that many of them left the
rectory in tears. During his illness
DR.. Warner was attended by his
family physician, DR.. Joseph Holt
and also by DR.. Roy M. Van Wart.
The physicians announced that
death was due to heart trouble, ag-
grayated by the attack of la grippe

tion, and that the secretaries of the
House of Representatives and the
Senate be instructed to furnish copies
hereof to the press and be it further
Resolved, That the General As
SER bly, convene at that time for
the purpose herein expressed"
BROUSSARD'S CANDIDACY.
The resolution includes all pros
pective names, but that it was offer
ed in the interest of the Broussard
candidacy is generally indicated.
"This resolution" declared lead
puts Broussard in the race. Our
committee so understands it. II it
had not been understood among us
that he would come here and address
the General Assembly and enter the
race, the resolution would never
have been introduced
Members of the special committee
on candidates that returned to the
capital this morning were: Senator
Henry l.. Gueydan. of Vermilion;
Representatives r. B. Butler, of Ter
rebonne; Robert Roberts, of Web
ster, and Thomas w. Nettles, of Red
River.
They went to New Orleans ana
from there got in touch with Brous-
sard at Thibodaux by long-distance
telephone.
eff you secured the unanimous
adoption of a resolution inviting can
didates to address the General AS
sembly," is said to have been con-
veyed to the committee by member
of the Thibodaux conference, then
we will come to Baton Rouge and
Broussard will enter the race"
If the report be true, the condition
has been fulfilled.
Congressman Broussard Is expect
ed here tomorrow morning, accord
ing to opposition headquarters.
They also expect John D. Wilkin-
son, of Shreveport, and Congressman
A. P Pujo, of Lake Charles, now in
New Orleans.
'The Senate" said Lieutenant
Governor Paul M. Lam Fremont, will
not elect Judge Thornton. That is
certain"
Governor Lambremont said the
vote on the confirmation of Frank j.
Owens could in no way be interpret
ed as forecasting the attitude of the
Senate on the United States senator
ship.
A close friend of Mr.. Lambremont
analyzed the Owens confirmation as
being good politics" He further
declared:
"By following that confirmation to
go throughout with practically no op-
| position, our senatorial cause gained
four votes from the New Orleans
delegation
"Who are they?' was asked.
| They are O'Connor, Louque, Nc.
Lellan and Estopinal."

to reach satisfactory conclusions.
Respectfully,

H. l.. GARLAND.
In taking up the matter before the
meeting, Mr.. Garland proposed to
the association the donation of two
half squares of ground if Mr.. Riggs
would donate two half squares, and
to sell the remaining required land
at SIS per acre, and to sell the house
on the land at the cost price of
$1,000. He finally agreed to exchange
the land to be donated by himself
and Mr.. Riggs for an equal section
of land in another portion of the
plat so that the land would be in one
piece and the house be eliminated.
This will give the association the
forty acres in one tract at cost of
between $25 and $50 an acre, and
on motion, duly seconded, the propo-
sition was accepted.
District Attorney Morgan read the
charter which he had prepared, and
there was some discussion as to the
matter of the reversion of the prop
erty to the parish in case of failure
to carry out the purposes of the as
sociation. The provision in this re-
spect, as required by the Police Jury,
seemed to be uncalled for and un-
necessarily strict. Mr.. Bokenforhr
proposed that the parish would be
well protected in their rights If a
note covering the donation of the
parish of $25OO were made to be-
come due and payable upon the fail
ure of the association to carry out
it's provisions. This suggestion SEEM
ed to meet with general favor and
the matter will be taken up at the
next meeting of the Police Jury, with
the probability that it will be per-
fectly satisfactory.
The following officers and board
of directors were elected:

Death Of
VIM. 10 'ConnoI

New Orleans, Nov. 3O.-William
]. O'Connor, inspector of police, died
in the Hotel Dieu after protracted
illness at 1890 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. He was conscious almost
until the end. The physicians in
attendance declare that his death
was due to his weakened condition
and Inability to rally from the effects
of the recent operation. The in
spector's four daughters-Mrs. How
ard D. King and Misses Flossie, Mag
gle and Clara O'Connor; his son-in-
law, DR.. King; Father Weldon of St.
Joseph's Church, and Chief of Detec
tives James w. Reynolds and Senior
Captain of Police John P. Boyle were
at his bedside.
The first indication of the immi-
nency of Inspector O'Connor's death
was a bulletin from his physicians
early yesterday mornin., stating that
a relapse had occurred and that the
stricken man was rapidly weakening.
Later in the day the rumor spread
that the doctors had given up all
hope, and that the inspectors rela-
tives had been called to the Hotel
Dieu. At 1885 o'clock the police
telegrapher flashed the message
through the city that the inspector
had expired at 1880 O'Clock.
ILL FOR SOME TINE.
Inspector O'Connor had been ill
for some time, and several months
ago it was deemed necessary that he
| undergo an operation to remove gall
stones. The operation was pro-
| nounced a success, and the patient
| left the city and remained at one of
the Gulf coast resorts for quite a
| while recuperating. He finally re-
turned to his active direction of the
work of the department of which he
| had charge, and remained at his
| desk for several weeks.
| His old ailment returned, however,
and he was forced to again take to
his bed. When he was informed that
he would have to undergo another
| operation he acpuiesced, but remark
ed to Chief Reynolds at the time that
he would not survive. The operation
was performed at night, and for sew
eral hours it was thought that he
would not live until daylight. Fight
ing manfully against the ebb-tide OF
life, the sturdiness of his physique
proved itself yet a factor. The pa
tient rallied hopsfully and the physi
clans declared that he would recover

ever, was too much for him in hi!

Only few days ago one of Inspec
tor O'Conor's daughters was married
to DR.. Howard D. King at his bed
side, the union being blessed by al
most the last words he spoke.

A LARGELY ATTENDED MEETING
OF ST. TAMMANY FAIR ASSOCIATION.
The Charter of the Association Was Road and
< Aoopteo and Officers and Board of Direc..
tors for Ensuing Year Elected

Inere was a large and enthusias-
tic meeting of the stockholders of
the st. Tammany Fair Association
and Experimental Farm at the court
house, Tuesday night. The meeting
was called to order by Harvey E.
Ellis, who stated that it was pro-
posed at this meeting to receive the
report OF the committee on site for
the Ialr grounds, to adopt the
cnarter or the association and to
eject the officers and board of direc-
tors. The first business was the re-
port OF the committee on site, which
was made by Mr.. P. E. Theriot, it's
chairman. Mr.. Theriot reported
various pieces Of land, the principal
one considered being a tract owned
by q. G.. Alexius. This land was
about two miles from the motor line.
These lands were considered apart
from the proposition of H. l.. Car
land. The Garland proposition, as
originally understood, was. that he
and Mr.. Riggs were to donate forty
acres along the line of the motor
road, but it had became known be-
fore the meeting that the association
would not be able to secure this very
desirable land as donation, the St.
Tammany Farmer having received
the following letter from Mr.. Gar
land, explaining his position, but
which was not published previous to
the meeting, as it was thought best
to let Mr.. Garland come before that
meeting and explain fully just what
arrangements could be made, and
avoid any erroneous Impressions that
might be explained away by Mr.. Gar
land:
New Orleans, La, Nov. "A, 1910.
Editor st. Tammany Farmer:
In regard to the land necessary
for the parish fair grounds and ex-
perimental farm, am waiting to
meet the organizers of this enter
prise and discuss the question with
them.
! have never said, nor has Mr..
Riggs that we were willing to give
forty acres of land as a free dona-
tion for this enterprise. So far as
l am concerned such a donation
would be too much of a sacrifice for
me to make and would represent a
contribute on to the enterprise out of
proportion to what any other single
individual will make or is asked or
expected to make. Mr.. Riggs could
better afford to make the donation
than could because he will get
return in fares, ETC., on his road. l
am waiting to meet the committee
and discuss the question and hope

W0ODMEN UNVEIL MONUMENT
TO THE LATE DIR. c. I. WILLIAMS
Tribute Paid to His High Character as a Citi-
zen and Devotion to His Mother and
to His Family, by Mr.. Booth.

Turpin, of New Orleans. The rendi-
tion OF this beautiful selection was
commented upon as being one of the
best efforts at elocutionary delivery
that has been listened to in Coving-
ton and was fitting tribute to the
occasion.
The grafton was delivered by A.
B. Booth; how at the age of the
worthiness of the part Of life of the
deceased; how at the age OF 13 years
he had taken up the burden OF the
support of his mother, reciting his
conduct in life from the time OF his
early practice as a physician in Mis-
sissippi and his residence in Coving-
ton up to the time of his death in
December, 1909, when he had be-
come citizen influential in the af-
fairs of the town, Its respected mayor
and president of the Covinton Bank
and Trust Company.s
Mr.. Booth then spoke of the order
of which Mr.. Williams was men,
ber, Of the benefits OF wood craft,
Of it's wonderful growth and influence
and wealth. He stated that there
were now 100000 members Of the
Woodmen and that they had in the
treasury $12,000,000.

divested of their purses and trickets
when Walton appeared on the scene,
summoned from the rear platform
by fare collector, who had escaped
the eye of the negro.
Walton fired as he entered the
coach, the bullet striking the high
wayman just above the heart. He
staggered and attempted to aim his
weapon, but Walton continued his
fire, two others of his bullets finding
lodgment in the negro's body Thom-
as toppled over when the last bullet
struck him, and was dead when the
watchman made his way through the
now panic-stricken passengers. One
of Walton's bllets went wild, striking
an unknown negro and inflicted a
slight wound.
The train was stopped at the next
station and the body of Thomas
taken off. A coroner's jury was i'm
paneled on the depot platform and
Walton exonerated from blame. Then
the train proceeded on it's way after
the negro's pockets had been strip
ped of the money and trinkets and
return made to the owners.

trict attorney for the Assumption
Ascension-St James judicial district,
reached the capital and sought the
down Bayou Lafuorche and in his
district was strongly against Thorn
ton. He suggested to the governor
that his country. while opposed to
Thornton, would be glad to see Sand
ers go to the Senate, and that it was
the general consensus Of opinion in
his district that he should go.
Senator Homes Barrouse, IF
Church Point, who was put down
with the Thornton opposition to-day
denies this lineup and says he is
supporting Thornton. There were a
number of new arrivals to-day.
THE INSURRECTION.
This insurrection against the ad-
ministration and the senatorial meth
ods," said one tonight, may not
win on next Tuesday, when it comes
to voting for United States senator,
but it indicates how insurgency is
spreading through the state. You can
see the difference now to what it
was during the regular session last
uAS dIu July, Wu6u IuC SOFCIuOI
had so firm grip on this General
Assembly that nothing could defeat
any program that he mapped out
Conditions to-day are changed Here
is a disorganized, leaderless, can
didateless movement, floundering
about, yet, so formidable that it has
caused general alarm anu retrench-
ment."
The session of the Senate and
House tonight at So'clock lasted
about ten minutes each. The attend
ance was better, roll call in the
House showing sixty-six present. All
bills We're reported favorably from
committees and under suspension of
the rules were engrossed and passed
to the third reading and will be final
ly passed to-morrow-the two
Voegtle Sewerage and Water Board
bills and the Stafford bill, in the
Senate, and will finally be passed by
that body, while in the House similar
action will be taken on the Dough-
eTty contingent expense bill and the
measure of George H. Clinton to
legalize the issuance of certificates
against state bonds. Both houses
adjourned until IL O'Clock to-mor-
row.
