Negro Woman Confessed to Numbering
Seventeen.

Lafayette, La, April 2. In the most
amazing confession ever written into
the criminal annals of this State, mark
ed by horrible details, Clementine Bar
nabet, negress in Jail here, to-day
cleared up the mystery which has sur
rounded the murder of seventeen ne
groes, by families, in Southwest LOU
isiana, and gave clues which are ex-
pected to lead to the Apprehension of
eighteen other midnight assassinations
of negroes at Lake Charles and in Texas.
Without the slightest evident appre-
citation of the awfulness of her bloody
work, Clementine related in detail how
she slew each family, of the methods
she pursued in escaping detection and
of the aid she had in carrying out the
fiendish plans.
However, she evaded every effort of
the authorities to learn the names of
other members of the fanatical band
which has terrorized this section by the
of wholesale lake murders"
She declared she killed four men,
bers of the Randell family here last No
vember, four members of the Andrus
family one year ago last February, five
negroes at Rayne and four at Crowley
Other victims at Lake Charles and in
Texas, killed since her arrest, were
slain exactly in the same monner.

DevOe Takes Least Gallons:
Always

Paint Devoe; it's the cheapest
paint in the world: never mind the
price; may or may not be more.
Less gallons will paint the house;
and the paint will outwearanything.
Skip wear; you've got to wait, to
find that out. 1t covers more; you
haven't got to wait to find that out.
It's the cheapest of all; no matter
about the price.
Mr. Watkins, Lott, Texas, used 13
gallons on his house before; bought
ID gallons Devoe for same house and
had 6 left.
CB Edwards, of Edwards & Brough-
ton, printers Raleigh, N e, used 80
gallons paste paint on his house;
bought 80 gallons Devoe for same
house and had 16 left.
That's how.

Socialists Lost Out in Milwaukee.

Socialists Lost Out in Milwaukee.
Milwaukee, Wis, April 3.-With a
flood of non-partisan ballots, Milwau-
kee voters Tuesday swept from office
the city's Socialist administration, in
stalled non-partisan mayor, board of
aldermen and county board of supervi-
sors and probably eliminated all ma
tional political parties from participa-
ton in future municipal elections in the
State of Wisconsin.
In the State of Wisconsin, because of
the result of non-partisan victory in
Milwaukee, the State Legislature, at a
special session to be convened, is ex-
pected to pass distinctly non-partisan
city election statute. The Socialists
defeated such measure at the last
session of the Legislature, but Tuesday s
vote was said practically to have killed
Socialist strength in the State General
Assembly.
Nearly complete returns from the lac
precincts in the city show that DR.. Ger
hard, non-partisan candidate for mayor,
defeated Mayor Emil Seidel, Socialist
incumbent, by a majority of 1900.
The widespread interest in the fight to
svHAat the Socialist administration was
indicated by the heavy total vote OF
nearly $4,000. The highest previous
total vote cast in a municipal election
was SO, 4S4 at the time Mayor Seide
was elected two years ago.
