held last night.
In response to an inquiry launched
by Low, who desired to learn the
probable fate of the ordinance. which
if passed would have to do with the
regulation of dance halls and other
evil resorts in the city, Murray denied
that the ordinance still reposed in the
office of the city and county attor-
neys department.

POLITICAL NEWS AND NOTES

Prince Kuhio. sailed this morning
for Hawaii, where he Will address a
mass-meeting at Hilo Thursday night.
Owing to existing conditions here he
will be- away abat a week instead of
two weeks, as originally planned.
Through Charles Motley of the
Home Rule party, Hawaiians living
on Maui have asked Kuhio to stop ov-
er and address them, and he will prob
ably do so on his return trip, it is
said
Charles Chillingworth is credited
with making decided hit with the
Hawaiians in his speech in the native
tongue at the mass-meeting last night.
'The avoidance by Kuhio of refer
ence to his controversy with Frear in
his speech last night won him friends
among those who had formerly oppos-
ed him." said J. H. Hakuole, secretary
of the Kuhio campaign committee,
this morning.
There will be a meeting at KuhiO

ports from precinct leaders and to
discuss plans for the campaign.
"The meeting last night certainly
shows where the strength of the Re-
publican party in the Territory lies,''
said Joel Cohen this morning. While
am not with the ProgressiVes, did
not see where the mention of Taft's
name won anything from the audience
last night.

publjcans and their purpose was TO
place the best ticket possible in the
field and to make it victorious. He
made a reference by name to mem.

r. w. Aylett was called from
among the members of the band and
raised a laugh by his opening re-
mark that he had blown his shorn
there before. After saying it was
their duty to ratify the presidential
nominees and the Delegates candi-
dacy, he advised the voters to regis

Woodrow Wilson's SIur.
A. D. Castro was introduced as a
representative of the Southern Euro
pean immigrants whom Woodrow
Wilson stigmatized in one of his
hooks as the scum of the earth. ~
He said he was sorry to be Told that
the Democratic presidential candidate
held his race in such low esteem.
Proceeding, he paid high tribute to
President Taft and then strongly
censured the central committee for
refusing to call. a ratification meet
ing, In almost any > place on the
mainland such a derelict central
committee would be asked to resign.
Senator Cecil Brown YVES intro
dueed as business man, with the
remark that the Hawaiian speaker
due for next call had disappeared.
This proved to be Breckons joke,
fer Mr.. Grown spoke in Hawaiian,
advocating the endorsement of Ku-
Lilo for reelection, as he had served
the Territory faithfully for many
years and was we'll liked in Wash

Oscar Cox was introduced as the
Coroner to hold an inquest on the
McCandless cause and gave a pithy
talk in Hawaiian, being followed by
Joel c. Cohen, who made some fore
ible remarks on the duty of the hour.
The Bitter Waters.
Senator C. F. Chillingworth did not
mince words about the inertia of the
central committee and it's fear of

the case. For eight years the sue.

to the personality and the work of

A BIG TASK.

Vale active preparations are max
ing at Baton Rouge for a brilliant
inauguration of Governor elect Hall,
the prevailing flood conditions and
the attendant distress of body and
mind of large portion of the popu-
latiOn, cast a gloom over the great
ceremonial. Indeed Judge Hall will
be indicted into office in circum-
stances that are such as to try his
ability to the utmost. The great
problems of state that confront him
and the expectations aroused by the
promises of his campaign are alone
enough to test his ability fully, but
to this has been added these mat
ters Of flood trouble that cause his
people to have their high hopes OBJ
scured.
But, it is confidently believed that
Luther E. Hall as governor will be
equal to the situation, and will lead
the way out of the labyrinth Of trou-
bles in which Louisiana now stands,
confused and dismayed.

BAYOU SARA LEVEE BREAKS, WASHING AWAY
MANY BUILDINGS; NO SERIOUS ACCIDENTS

The Bayou Sara leVee broke at
1925 o'clock Friday morning The
dreaded possibility came at last
and at most unexpected point on
the bayou side just behind the post
office, and very near the mouth. The
break was discovered by Capt. J. B.
Brooks. He called for help, and ran
to get materials but the break came
with a rush. 1t was where the en-
bankment received the full effect
OF the bay0u's swift current, sw0l-
len by the heavy rain Of the previ-
Gus night. New boxing had been put
out to protect the leVee, and the
water seeped in, probably through a
crawfish hole, cut away the new wor
and attacked the old leYee, tearing it
away.
The break rapidly widened, and
within an hour had made a gap of
at least so feet. The water came in
with a strong current, and the peo-
pie had to work rapidly to get their
live stock, poultry, and other NOR
ables out Of the town, Within half
an hour there was enough water in
the town to float a skiff. In a short
while the population of st. Francis
vile was practically all there.
The Bayou Sara poSt-office build
ing was in the original path of the
waters and it was torn from its foun-
dation and carried across to Princ1-
pal st. The building was vacant
and the mails were not endan-
gered The kitchen of the Burton
Hotel was washed off, and Szabo's
saloon was carried up the street near
the Irvine residence. Smaller houses
were twisted and turned, while light

ion that Louisiana should pay the ba.

undoubtedly true, and if Louisiana
should ever decide to pay them in

and legal obligation so far as we can
understand, is extremely slight. 1t

VALUE OF MOVING PICTURES.

The scenes attending the inaugu-
ration of Gov. Hall will be perpetual
cd by a senies of moving pictures, it
is announced. These will be prOduc-
ed at all shows where it is desired
that they be presented, therefore
whether or no one can witness the
inaugural ceremonies, it will be in
his power to see them as we'll as if
he jOurneyed to the state capital.
And this is but one of the events
that can be made to renew itself for
the absent now and for years to
come, as long as the plates last.
Those persons, ourselves among
the number, who have been accus'
toned to consider moving pictures as
a frivolous, even childish amusement,
have a new light thrown on their
possibilities of use and interest
Their value as a VeraciOus chroni-
cler of stated events Is incalculable.
Sarah Bernhardt's acting has been
put upon the films, and long after
that immortal mortal shall indeed
succumb, as all flesh does, the de-
light of her art may be enjoyed.
Think what it would mean if one
could thus see Rachel, and Irving
and Mansfield also, and all that
mighty company that makes art long
though life is short.
