| terment was made in the Catholic
| cemetery. The obsequies were large
! " attended, there being present
many prominent people from Assump-
ton parish, as well as from this city
and surrounding country, and large
delegations representing the Red
Men and Maccabees.
Mr.. Gouaux had been connected
with the United States Internal Rev
enue Department as a special dep
uty collector for a period of eight
years, and was looked upon as a
splendid officer. In the pursuance
of his official duties he covered a
wide territory, making periodical
trips to various points in Louisiana
and other southern states He was
noted for his bravery, and was a
genial, kindly man. His friends and
acquaintance are numbered by the
hundreds, particularly in the Bayou
Latourche section, and the announce
ment OF his tragic death has caused
widespread sorrow and regret.
Sheriff Hanson and the local po-
lice force are eXerting every effort
to appreeend the fugitive murderer,
but SO far they have been unable to
unearth the slightest clue as to his
whereabouts. His description has
been wired broadcast, and while his.
early capture is hoped for, it is con-
coded that the longer he remains at
large the more favorable are his
chances for ultimately evading the
grip of the law. If he made his way
down Bayou Lafourche, as is now
presumed, he may succeed in board
ing a train on the Southern Pacific
Railroad at Lafourche Crossing or
some other point in that vicinity, or
he may finally reach the settlement
at the mouth of Bayou Lafourche and
travel from there, by means of a
fishing schooner or lugger, to some
seaport, from whence he can escape to i
his native country, Spain.
It has been learned that Velanti |
IS tattooed on one of his arms, the |
design being of a very obscene char
acter. With this item added to the
description of the fugitive already 7
sent out, his Identification should be
an easy matter should he be appre-
hended
The spot where the killing took
place is just one door removed from
the house where Police Officer Sam
Bigley met his death some years ago,
for which crime a negro prostitute
named Tama Johnson is now sery-
ing life term in the penitentiary

@AvlaIioh ziNeeL Tor #DonaiGSonNIlIe.
Donaldsonyille is to have an avia
ton meet, the notable event being
scheduled for Saturday and Sunday
March Is and II. A representative
Of the Moisant International Aviators
was in town during the early part
Of the week and submitted PROPOSE
ton for the meet to the merchants

accepted. Under the terms of the
agreement, the aviation concern
binds itself to give three flights each

monoplane, the flights to be not less
that 500 feet in altitude and Is min
utes to one hour in duration For
these exhibitions the aviation com
pany requires a guarantee of 5000,
payable IN sums of sS150 at the

revenue from which will supply the
$500 guarantee fund, it being pro-
Vided, however, that these tickets
must be sold in advance of the meet.
The revenue derived from the sale

tween the aviation company and the

GOVERNMENT RESTS
IN BIG SUGAR CASE
Defense in Trial of Parsons
and Others Will Begin
Monday.

NEW YORK, March 22.-After ten days
Of testimony. the government rested its
case today in the trial Of John r. Par
directors OF the American Sugar Refining
company for alleged criminal violation OF
the Sherman law. This will allow the
defense to begin offering testimony Mon
day. although the attorneys announced
their first move would be 10 ask dis
mlssal OF the indictments.
The closing OF the governments case
was hastened by an agreement between
the opposing attorneys In regard 10 the
proposal OF the government to submit
legged policy OF monopoly. After Charles
r. Heike, the convicted former secretary
OF the company, had testified along this
line. District Attorney Wise agreed TO
waive his evidence on condition that the
defense supply statement, showing what
ref1nerlos the trust had shut down.
The defense today succeeded In having
ruled out government evidence int ndcd to
prove further conspiracy on the part of
the sugar trust to entanGlc Adolph Segal
on the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining COM
pany. The evidence dealt with loans al
legged to have been made to SeSal with
trust money By Gustav T.. Klssel, sub
sequent to the 81, 600 loan which il
is charged first involved the Philadelphia
capitalist.
According 10 the district attorney the
subsequent loans were made to Segal TO
keep him in such bad shape financially
as TO prevent him from paying back the
sl.25o.ooo loan. thus preventing his re-
finery from being opened.
Judge Hand ruled tho evidence did moi
show such conspiracy. but allowed tho
pros ecuior TO show that Kissel made sub
ceived more OF the stock OF the Pennsyl-
vania Sugar Refining company.
