MEASURE AGREED UPON IN NEW
ORLEANS NOT CHANGED IN
SLIGHTEST DEGREE.
The New Amendment Provides That
the Bonds Shall Run for a Pc
riod Of so Years.

Baton Rouge-With patriotism to
the state of Louisiana showing itself
In every utterance, and after q full
and searching examination of the
subject matter Of the measure knowL
as the Panama Exposition bill, the
members of the finance committee or
the house voted unanimously Monday
afternoon to report the bill favorabiy.
This is tantamount to the passage
of the. bill through both branches OF
the legislature, and practically means
the extra session of the legislature
will complete it's work within six
days, as had been suggested by Gov.
Sanders. Thus within few short
hours the work for which the iegis-
laturt was primarily called was well
under way, and aside from the read
ings of the bill, as required by .he
constitution, the only important thing
remaining for the general assembly
to do was to call the roll of both
houses when the bill finally reached
its thrd reading.
AS rule, any measure which pro-
poses anything that sounds like a tax
meets up with violent opposition,
even though such opposition is a
meager minority. When it is taken
into consideration that the new Pan
anna bill proposes to raise a fund ag-
gregating $6,5O0.000, the fact thai ab-
solutely no opposition was offered in
q joint committee meeting must OF
itself be taken as a reflection Of the
attitude of all the people of the state
on the question of securing for New
Orleans the Worlds Panama EAposi'
ton to be held in 1915.
Senate Bill No. / was introduced by
Mr.. Voegtle of New Orleans and is
joint resolution proposing an amend
ment to the constitution authorizing
the Worlds Panama Exposition Com
pany to issue bonds to the amount
of $4,000, 900 and pledge the tax levy
to pay the interest and retire the
bonds. Great stress was laid Oh the
safeguards thrown around the tax in
the proposed constitutional amend
ment. 1t is written in the amendment
that all moneys realized from the
sale of the bonds shall be paid direct
ly into the treasury of the state, and
Shall be disbursed exclusively for the
purpose of securing a site and for
the construction, equipment and
maintenance of the exposition.
Under the new arrangement the
$4,000 900 provided for in the amend
ment first adopted will be raised in
the tax proportion named. In reality,
the new amendment simply provided
for ali additional S2,500,000 10 be
raised by a tax not to exceed 1 1-2
mills In any one year. The cnintry
parishes are not concerned at Al in
the new amendment.
Under the old amendment, which is
In no wise tamL cred with. the cunn.
try viii pay three cighths of :nill
yearly Oil its taxables and the city
six-eishths of a mill until the 81,
10000 has been raised. At that
point, the tax in the country ceases
no matter how long the city may have
to pay.
1t has been figured that at the
present rate Of assessment in the
city of New Orleans the tax would
have to be extended on the books
for a period of 43 years. To cover
any emergency, It is written in the
amendment that the bonds shall run
for so years.

THE KEY OF DEATH,
Story Of italian Methods In

When Venice was mistress of the
maritime world she attracted many
young men DESTROYS of profiting by her
commercial advantages. Among them
was ono Giuseppe Pessero. who went
there from Rome. Pessero was OF
good family and had been intimate
with the Borgias, the Farnese and
other great families at n time when
the Italians were very skillful IN get
ting rid of those who stood In their
way by means OF poison.
One afternoon, while being pulled In
n gondola from St. Marks down to-
ward the Rialto, Pessero passed n barge
In which sat vision of loneliness.
"Giovannir' exclaimed Pessero when
the two boats had passed. "Who Is
that LADY,"
"That, slgnor," replied the gondolier,
els Signorina Francesca del Prombo."
"rurn, Giovanni-turn at once and
follow"
The gondola was swung around and
pulled to flight of steps leading to
the square OF st. Marks. The lady
had embarked and entered the square
when Pessero's gondola drew up to
the steps. In few minutes he saw
the Slgnorina Francesca join party OF
gentlemen and ladies who were sit
ting idly, some reading, some playing
on lutes, others chatting. Pessero, see
ing one among them he knew, spoke to
him and was introduced TO the group.
But it was Francesca that he want

that his suit was rejected.

Pessero resolved that no one except
himself should possess Francesca.
But he bided his time. He heard Of
the preparations making for her we'd
ding with Sansovino how the looms
were spinning fine fabrics for her
wedding gown and how the most deli
cate lace was being woven for her
adornment. He showed no sign of dis
satisfaction. He was engaged most OF
the day and at times far into the night
in little workshop that he had fitted
up in his home.
When the day for the wedding came
Pessero stood at the entrance to ST.
Marks church, where the ceremony
was to take place, among a crowd OF
people eager to see the beautiful Fran
cesca del Prombo attired for the bri-
DIAL. The groom as he passed In saw
the face OF the man who had aspired
to his place wearing the look or Il

OF the crowd, and the two men touch

Before he had entered the body OF the
church he tainted. Horror stricken,
his bride bent over him. endeavoring
TO recall him TO consciousness-all in
vain. In few minutes he was dead.
Francesca's quick eye had detected
the malevolent face Of Pessero in the
crowd, and she was seized with an in
deanable dread. From the moment
her lover had sunk down on the mar
BILE pavement she OWNED that he had
been stricken by the hand Of her re-

canal, placed in her barge and rowed
to the family palace. As soon as she
