cARNARVoN CASTLES FUTURE
Historic Welsh Fortress May 30 En-
tlrety Restored to Grandeur by
Office Of Work4

Wales.--Slnce the investiture OF the
prince Of Wales In Carnarvon castle
the question has often been asked. by
Welsh and English alike: What is to
be the future Of that historic building?
This Is matter not only for the peo-
pie OF Carnarvon but for the people
Of Wales as whole. and It also. one
may suggest, touches the throne. for
the magnificent ceremony Of last July
brought the king and queen and the
prince Of Wales into closer touch with
the Welsh. Many suggestions as to
the future OF the castle are atloat.
In local circle 1t Is now stated to be
certain that the office Of works Is con-
templating further extensive altera-
lions at the castle. and that the
schemes are of so comprehensive
character that many years will be re-
CURED to complete them. On the
other hand, the Carnarvon town coun-
ell have submitted plan involving
among other things the re.erection Of
the old banqueting hall inside the cas-

of Hymelia creyasse from inundating
several valuable sugar plantations,
the flooding Of which will increase
property loss by thousands. Several
plantation owners have given UP the
contest as hopeless and are taking
their losses philosophicaly. Live
stock by the hundreds isolated in La
Fourche parish, are almost certain to
die Of starvation.
The plight of small animals is dis
tressing. Hordes Of rabbits can be
seen on almost any exposed knoll.
Muskrats, the enemies of the leyee
builder, have been forced from their

Ask Paw for Militia

Baton Rouge.-At a meeting of the
central relief committee a communi-
cation was received from the adjutant
general asking that the committee
reimburse the department for the
money expended In paying the militia
for services rendered in guarding at
the refugee camps, which was taken
from the fund allotted for field sery-
ice. The committee decided to lay
the matter over until the legislature
appropriates the $4,000 asked for the
relief work. 1t takes the stand that
it has no right to use the money sub
scribed for relief work to pay the
militia.

Baton Rouge, La.-TWO hundred and

The report is made up of the state.
ments and recommendations made by
the president and the faculty at the
meeting of the board in May.
The amount asked for the University
proper is the same amount that was
received during the last two years.
The $4,000 is for the purchase OF
extra lands for the experiment station
and the maintenance Of the teachers
college to permit the acceptance of the
Peabody fund appropriation Of s40,-
600 for a teachers college building.
The amount asked for will not per-

request for appropriation was cut be.
cause of the great loss from floods.
Figures are given showing that the
amount sought is much less than that
given even smaller state universities
and agricultural colleges in other
states 1t is shown that the Oregon
Agricultural College received a grand
total of 1851, 800 for the biennium 1911
1912, and that, in addition, the state
has to support separate state uni
yersity and four state normals. 1t is
pointed out that Louisiana State Uni
versity is the only state university for
which the legislature has to provide.
The remarkable growth Of the uni
versity in the past Is years is given
in comparison of statistics for 1896

ance has increased from 220 to l,437.

81 years previous to and including
1897 there were ITS graduates; since
that time, exclusive of 1912, there
were 500 graduates. The number OF
professors has increased from 10 to
70, and the number Of buildings from
26 to 4S. The entrance requirements
have been raised from six units to

Old Towers Of carnarvon,

tie, on the site of which was erected
in 1894 the Royal pavilion, where was
held the luncheon attended by King
Edward and Queen Alexandra, then
prince and princess of Wales, on the
occasion Of their visit to the National
Eisteddfod in the town.
It Is doubtful indeed, If either Of
these scheme will be carried out.
Great structural alterations to historic
buildings are against the spirit Of the
age, which in regard to them seeks
rather to preserve than to restore.
Carnarvon castle In the past has suf-
fered much from well.meant but mis-
guided efforts in this direction, found.

history Of the edifce. The delusion.
slain many times, still persists that
Edward H., the first prince of Wales.
was born in the castle. regardless Of
the fact that the Eagle tower, where
the interesting event Is supposed to
have taken place, was not rooted in
until he had been nine years on the
throne.
Little anachronisms of this kind
have counted nothing to the thousands
Of tourists who have been conducted
through dark corridors to the passage

ed on the gayly painted window with
the prince of Wales feathers depicted
thereon. Could any further, proof be
needed? In the last half century bat

not local stone-and wonder why bat
Elements were erected where no bat
Elements had ever been in the fighting
days of the old fortress, and whether
it would not now be advisable to re-
move them. /,
Perhaps this task will recommend
itself to the notion Of Mr.. Trowbridgs
of the Office OF works, who had charge
Of the structural alterations preceding
the fnvestiture. and is even now In
charge at Carnarvon, where he has
taken house on long lease. The
town council scheme OF rebuilding the
banqueting hall Is hardly to get furth-
er than the paper on which 1t 10
planned. for antiquaries are still In
doubt as to many Of the main features
Of the apartment.
A representative of the Morning
Post. on application at the Office of
works, was Informed that at present
the only work in progress was that
necessary to keep the castle in proper
repair. but the question has yet to be
answered whether the old fortress.
which may have been starved into sur

force OF arms, shall remain as 1t left

proach little nearer to the design Of
the genius who original built 1t.

CAMP TO ESCAPE DISEASE
Two Cases In Norwich University
Drive All to Tents During
Quarantine.

Northfeid, Vt.--As a result of the
appearance at Norwich university,
military institution, OF two cases Of
smallpox, every person connected with
the university spent the night under
canvas recently, tents having been
shipped here from the state arsenal at
Montpelier. The cadet corps vacated
their quarters, as did the officers and
faculty, that the buildings might be
fumigated.
The baseball and polo teams, which
had been away from home, have re-
turned, and the commandant OF the
university, Captain Tompkins and Dr..

Provisions Shipped to Sufferers.

Baton Rouge.-Provisions were ship

st. Charles in answer to call from
the people in that parish affected by
the Hymelia crevasse. The request
was received by Governor Hall and

Alexandria.-The City Board Of AL.
dermen held meeting pursuant to a
special call by Mayor T. c. Whead-
on for the purpose Of considering and
recommending to the Legislature the
passage of an act to authorize cities
to fund into certificates of indebted

take action in all it's details, and to

premises.

Docket Is Cleared.
Waters Are Receding.

Baton Rouge.-Senators and repre-
sentatives returning here from over
flowed parishes report the crevasse
waters are slowly receding. In sec
tons of some parishes, planting and
laborers have been preyed in by van
dals. Corn, oats and other feed and
seed stuffs stored away high and dry
from the floods, have been stolen. In
some cases the losses from vandalism
will be greater than the flood loss.
Has New Game Measure.
Senator George H. Clinton, OF Ten.
sas, is considering introducing a
game bill The bill he has drafted
provides that the closed season for
deer, ETC., shall be fixed definitely.
The police juries of the several
parishes shall have supervision. They
may add to the closed season, or
make certain notifications. They
may provide for an annual hunters
license from parish residents, nom
residents, nonresidents of the state
or unnaturalized citizens. The whole
question OF license is left to the dis.
erection of the police juries. AS this
bill is not a revenue measure 1t may
be introduced in the senate. Any
bill, however, carrying revenue
must originate in the house. For
that reason the general game bill
which Is all probability will be a rev.
enue measure, will be introduced In
the house.
Paupers Bill Advanced.
After hot argument, both pro and
con, on the merits Of the measure,
the bill by Claiborne, Of Pointe Coupee,
permitting pauper litigants to 60 into
court without advancing the costs
was advanced, with amendments to
third reading.
To Stop Forced Confessions.
Even in stronger shape than it was
originally introduced, the senate by
practically a unanimous vote passed
the Williams bill, aimed at the al
legged third degree methods of dis.
trict attorney Of New Orleans. Sen.
ator Williams made an extended ar.
gument In favor of the measure. He
held that the constitution of the state
and Of the United States protected a
prisoner and prohibited the courts
from forcing him to 60 upon the stand
and testify against himself, but that
in this spirit provision was biolated.
Favorable Report on Crew Bill.
The full crew car bill got a favorable
report out Of the committee on rail.
roads Of the senate by a vote of 7 20
z. 1t was bitterly fought by the rail-.
road rainmen, and after two hours
argument the committee went into ex.
ecutive session and voted the measure
fayorably.
