according TO a new light thrown on the
surface today. The BancO Minero, II
was claimed, had given voluntarily
over 200. 900 pesos to carry on the rev
olutiOn. This is untrue, says Juan y
Creel. manager Of the bank, in the fol
lowing statement:
Under our concession Of banking,
which we received from the federal
government in the time OF Gen Dlaz
the BancO MinerO is not permitted 10
invest single cent Of its funds IN a
transaction the character of which IS
for political purposes. Our bylaws spe-
officially state that II is illegal
Protested the Loan
The Banco Minero had not paid a
single penny Of its funds to the LID
eral government until the 18th day OF
April when J. as manager of the bank
was compelled to pay $4,000 pesos,
which was the sum appOruoned as our
part in the bond issue leSallzed by the
state legislature. We RENTED this sum

SHERIFF GETS AN "AXlGAN"
LITTER.

Lafayette, La, May 14.-Con-
siderable amusement has been
caused at the expense of Sheriff
Lacoste s recent letter from
some one, evidently negro, pos
ing as one Of the "105" who are
banded together to kill negroes.
The writer claims that he is dis
gusted with the ak murders and
willing to confess his part in
them.
While he says he does not fear
conviction by the law, he is cer-
tain to have death meted out to
him by his fellows.
The letter makes the interest
ing statement that the victims Of
the axman are marked in advance
by a man who goes into the towns
and makes the necessary selections
of victims, who are then dis
patched by others. The writer
oeprecates the murders, but Is his
authority for them. cites the sixth
and seventh book of Moses.
Cementhine, Zepherin and
Raymond Bernaget are still in
Jail here along with the Duce or
woman, who claims was an active
gent in perpetrating the ax muir.

ASSEMBLY STRONG FOR GOV.
WILSON.

Baton Rouge, La, May IA
North Louisianians will be given
a chance by Senator Leon Smith
of Caddo, to display Their prefc-
fences for Woodrow Wilson Tues
day. Mr.. Smith is an ardent Will
SON man. He wants the General
Assembly without specially CON-
mitting itself, to invite the New
Jersey governor to address the
Legislature on national campaign
issues, and will introduce a reso-
luton to that effect in the upper
chamber on Tuesday.
Wilson men in Baton Rouge
have had every reason to be high
ly flattered BY the popularity
which their favorite is showing
among north Louisiana members.
The Smith resolution is said to
carry no commitment with it, but
is to be merely an invitation to
the New Jersey leader to come
South to speak 10 the Democrats
assembled at Baton Rouge.
It will find an enthusiastic
sponsor 10 the House in the per-
son of Representative Robert
Roberts, Of Minden.
Governor Wilson's campaign
representative has been on the
ground here for several days
canvassing the situation and
buzzing around the hotel l0bb;es.

BREAK AT HYMELIA.

Baton Rouge, La, May 15.-
Capt. Logan, United States engi
neer in charge Of this district
said Wednesday afteltloon tina
reports reaching him are to the ct
feet that all hope Of closing tn,
Hymelia crevasse has been aban
doned. He has dispatched a rev
enue cut .er to the scene.
| The Hymel:a crevasse, on thu
west bank of the Mississippi
about thirty-fve miles from the
city, was six hundred feet wide
| Wedneday afternoon, reported
United States Engineer c. O.
SSerr.ll, from Killona. lie was
unable 10 state what steps would
'oe taken to close the break, but
said that steps would be immed-
lately taken to crib the ends to
prevent the crevasse widening.
In the mean. ime arrangements
are beng made locally to send
men and material to the scene and
to effect the rescue Of the hun
dreds who are bound to be ma
rOOned.
Mr.. Chas. H. Farwell, of the
firm of Mill:ken & Farwell, large
plantation owners in the flooded
section, is of the opinion that the
gap will be closed. A break oc-
cured at the same place in 1903,
and although herculean efforts
were put forth it was not closed
until the waters had receeded.
The previous gap was 400 feet
wide.
The levee at the point Of the
break is twelve feet high, about
four feet higher than at the time
of the previous break. Compar-
ing this with the fact that the
river is at least three feet higher
than before, gives rise to the opin-
ion that the water will inundate
a larger section than previously,
and will cover the country at a
greater depth.
The section of the country af-
fected is extremely large. The
waters will probably reach as far
Jack as Bayou Lafourche and is
expected to come up to the rear
of Gretna and Algiers, across the
river from New Orleans. These
places, however, are amply pro-
tected by the tracks of the South
ern Pacific Railroad, which form
q protection levee.
Peter A. Muntz. secretary Of
the Orleans Levee Board, CON-
mnnicated with Jas. Mcguire,
superintendent Of terminals of the
railroad, and arranged for the |
culverts and openings to be closed. |
1t is not expected that the water
will reach Jefferson parish before
Sa a:urday or Sunday.

Saturday, in the District Court,
pleaded guilty of the crime of in
cest, the victim being his sixteen
year-old daughter, and received
a sentence of fifteen years in the
penitentiary.
Il am guilty, your honor

mercy. / want to take care of my
children. For Gods sake.
can't tell, l don't know why I
did this crime.
To which Judge Overton re-
sponded. at is almost beyond
belief that you could be guilty. of
such as crime as you are charged
with and for which you plead
guilty, and 1 would never have
dreamed that a man Of your
standing and appearance could
commit so vile crime as incest.
1t is the worst in the calendar.
"The sentence you receive to-
day will probably mean that you
will never breathe fresh air again"
Labauve was arrested in New
Orleans in Barollne streets Fri
day night by Sheriff-elect Henry
Reid.
Labauve is we'll known, and
has heretofore borne a good rep
utation in the community. He
came here from the sugar belt Of
the State some ten years ago.
1t leaked out about a week ago
that the accused was wanted for
the crime, but he got away only
to be finally located in New Or
leans. The sentence meted out
to him is practically equivalent 10
life imprisonment, since he is
about fifty years old.
