After that. Miss Boardrnan waited to see
how those New York inancicrs would succeed.
They did admirably. Seeing this, she went
TO Chicago, ST. Louis. Cincinnati, and many |,
other large cities, and set the ball rolling in
each town. That is the way she operates. No
letter writing for her, She puts on her travel
ing suit, boards a train. and is gone. When
she comes back, the business men ot the city
she visited have given the Red Cross their
. US for large sums Of money-and they
always deliver the goods.
That the two mion-dolar endowment fund
will be raised within the next few months IS /
not doubted by any officer OF the organization.
Miss Boarlman regards ii certainty, and
she has laid out plans for spending the income
from the money.
In the first place. the American Red Cross
has now an endowment fund OF only two hun
drcd thousand dollars This is hopclcSsly nadequat
for the purposes OF the association for, when the Re
Cross strikes. it must strike quickly. on the moment
without delay The people whom il helps must hay
instant help The victims of fire and earthquake mus
be fed and nurscd at once, they will die. Those hur
in wrecks and mines must be helped on the hour Oh
viousy. money must be at hand for such rapid work
and this is not possible with reserve fund of two hun
drcd thousand dollars. But with the income from tw
million dollars to draw on there will be enough to star
relief any field of disaster. and within the tollowip
day two Congress may appropriate additional money
similar sums can be raised by appeals to the public.

.FAVORS STATEHOOD
Congressman Stanley Says
Arizona Should Be Ad-
mitted at Once

The following letter was received
by Alex G. Hunt, of Thatcher, from
A, Ows.ey Stanley, a representative
| in Congress from Kentucky. Mr..
Stanley heartily favors Statehood
for Arizona and believes she should
be admitted without further delay:
House OF REPRESENTATIVES,
WASHINGTON, d. c.,
April 8, 1911.
Mr.. ALEX C. HUNT,
Thatcher, Arizona:
My DEAR HUNT:
Your kind and valued communi-
cation of March 31st to hand. |
shall certainly be more than delight
ed to see the Hon. George w. F..
Hunt, and to render him any possi-
bic service.
heartily agree with you that
Arizona should be admitted at the
earliest possible moment. She has
already been knocking at the door
too long, and the delay of the re-
publican party in admitting Ari-
zona to sisterhood among the States
is absolutely indefensible.
Your expressions of personal re-
gard and esteem are deeply crafty
ing to me. | am glad to know that
you are interested in my prospective
candidacy for the office of governor
of Kentucky. | have never coveted
this place, however, and after con-
sidering the matter very carefully
decided not to run. / prefer to re-
main in Congress, for the present,
at least.
Yours very truly,
A. OwsLEY STANLEY.

FARM R T A | ESTATE
MORE IN DEMAND
Than since PANIC
OF 1907.
Several Important Deals In st.

Weeks. Little Demand
for City Property.

Mr.. R. L. Walker sold to J. Al
Roy of Lafayette his plantation
containing 767 acres for $40,
10000. Mr.. Walker paid $1,000. OC
for this place ten years ago, but
has put it in much better condi-
ton and made some improve
ments. Trade was made by Mr..
Mouton of Lafayette.
Messrs. L. E. and A. C. Evans,
of Barbreck, bought Mr.. W. E.
Kelley's place, in the same neigh
borhood, for $5O0O.0O.
Littell & Lawler made two
good sales this week. They sold
to Mr.. R. L. Walker the planta-
ton, known as the Stokes place,
the property Of C. D. Kemper,
of Franklin, La. The price was
ST, 10000. Messrs. Littell & Law
Ter sold this place to c. D. KEN
per in 1909 for $5, 250.0O.
They also sold to Mcdonald
Brothers, of Macland, La, the
timber on Mr.. |. W. Sylvester s
Holly Grove Plantation. We
understand the price is something
over $40, 100000.
We hear there were severa
more deals made in the last ter
days and several pending.

is more in demand now than il
has been since the panic of 1907,
that is farm and timbered lands,
but there seems to be little or NJ
demand for city or town prop,

"MARY jane" IS NO MORE.
Southern Pacific AbOliShes All Night Trains
--FFeight sun lR Service.

IF you have ever made the trip
from Opelousas to New Orleans
on the Mary Jane" :" or vice
versa, you will not shed a tear
for the demise of the Mary
Jane"
The Mary Jane" was an ac-
commodation train of the South
ern Pacific an "all night train. y
It was supposed to leave Opel
ousas at II o'clock in the even
ing, and reach New Orleans at s
O'Clock next morning. And then
it was scheduled to leave New
Orleans, returning, at 9 O'Clock
at night, and reach OpelOusas at
4:30 next morning.
But it didn't.
It took better care of freight
cars, which were annexed to the
passenger coaches (or rather the
passenger coaches to the freight
cars) than it did to the comfort
of the passengers. Andi it didn't
pay, because often it took twelve
hours to run from New Orleans
to Opelousas.
And the people wouldn't pat.
ronize the Mary Jane" " and the
Mary Jane" had to go out OF
business.
The freight train still runs on
schedule time, but the passenger
connection has been discontinued,
and so has the mail service.

These were the expressions of
| Sheriff NJ. L. Swords, when call
ed upon by a Clarion representa-
tive and Alderman Loeb, of the
Fourth Ward, in regard to secur-
ing quarters in the parish Jail for
city prisoners.
The Clarion three weeks ago
exposed the insanitary condition
of the present city Jail, and an
nounced that it would see that
the authorities would provide
better quarters for the unfortu-
mates who fell from grace and
had to go to Jail.
The Clarion not only touched
up' the matter editorially, but
got in correspondence with the
State health authorities, with the
full determination that such con-
ditions should not and could not
exist in 0pelousas.
At the time The Clarion did
not know that the present city
council had at a previous meet
ing, held some two months ago,
passed resolution asking quar-
ters in the parish Jail for city
prisoners, and that a request had
been made of Sheriff Swords that
room should be assigned for them.
Upon being informed of the
fact by Alderman Loeb, of the
Fourth Ward, The Clarion sug-
gested that Sheriff Swords be
called upon, and the matter in
vestigated. The Alderman and
the newspaper man went togeth-
er to the Sheriff's Office, and Mr..
Swords admitted that such a re-
quest had been made of him, but
at the time he had no room in
the parish Jail. However, |
now have room, and | want the
city prisoners incarcerated in the
parish Jail, because the calaboose
is insanitary and unsafe, and |
don't like the idea of negroes
and whites being together, " said
the Sheriff.
1t was understood that one
room of the parish Jail is to be
for negroes, and that whites are
to be incarcerated in separate
rooms-any room vacant in the
jail.

EVANGELINE PARISH
HAS ITS FlRSTLYNCHING
Shot the Chief Deputy Sheriff of the New Parish
and the Act Was Met With Swift
Retrbution

the old man died a short time
after.
After the death of the old
father, the son moved back to his
old home in Vile Platte. There
he was considered trifing and
dangerous.
Wednesday evening he went
into town, innbibed freely, and
shot his pistol in the town. Mr..
Edgar Lafeur, the Chief Deputy,
gave chase to the niger. With
Mr.. Lafeur was Mr.. Eli Vidrine.
When the two reached the cabin
of the negro, he was barricaded
therein, and Immediately opened
fire upon the officers. Both Of
ficers fired back, but the chief
deputy fell from a pistol-shot
wound in the shoulder. Mr.. Vid-
rine kept up the battle with the
desperado, and finally ran him to
another building, where he was
captured.
The negro was brought to
Vile Platte, where he was incar-
cerated in the wooden Jail.
Early risers yesterday morn
ing saw the body of a negro
dangling from the limb of a tree.
It was Poulards body,
It is believed that the lynching
mob assaulted the Jail at about
8 o'clock in the morning.
They had no trouble whatever.

Oval Poulard was found dang
ling from the limb of a tree just
a few hundred yards from the
improvised Jail of the new par
ish of Evangeline, yesterday
morning. A rope around his
neck told the story of a lynching
the first lynching in the new
parish of Evangeline.
Poulard had, just a few hours
previous to his hemp-rope death,
shot an officer of the new parish
Mr.. Edgar Lafeur, who occu-
pies the position Of Chief Deputy
Sheriff Of Evangeline.
Information at this time is
meagre. The telephone is work
ing awry, and the people of Vile
Platte seem somewhat excited
over the occurrence.
1t seems, however, that the in
cident occurred in this way:
Oval Poulard, the negro lynch
ed, has an unsavory reputation
in that section. Some time ago
he had to leave that section on
account of killing another negro,
a cold blooded murder mot
proven" it is said. His old
father, who subsequently drove a
dray for Mr.. Oscar Dardeau, in
Opelousas, spent considerable
money in clearing his son, but
the boy did not seem to have an
inclination to reform. They
moved to the place Of Mr.. Jos.
Bordelon, near Opelousas, and
