SEATS CONTESTED

hicago.-Colin c. III. Fyffe, attor-
ney for the four ousted members OF
the school board whose disqualifica-
tion made possible the reinstatement
last night of Ella Flagg Young, as
sch ools, conferred today with clients
in reference to speedy action in the
courts.
Fyffe said he would ask the states
attorney to institute quo warranto
proceedings to restore the clients TO
the board. He stated the action OF
Mayor Busse in 1907 in ousting five
members of the school board was de-
clared Illegal by the Illinois supreme
court, and the present action wouia
follow the precedent, although the
two cases We're not exactly parallel.
Busse discharged the members, whlIc
Harrison accepted designations al
really in his hands. Fyffe contends
that these designations were written
before the members We're appointed
to the board
Stormy Board Meeting.
Chicago-M Mrs. Ella Flagg Young
was voted back into the superin-
tendency of Chicago public schools
late yesterday after a tsormy ses-
sion of the board of education.
Seven members refused to vote on
the ground that the board had no
power to reconsider the election of
John Shoop, assistant superintend-
ent under Mrs. Young, who had
been elected her successor.
The contention was also made
that the four new members of the
board, named by Mayor Harrison to
replace the four whose designations
he forced. were not entitled to their
seats. The action of the board in
removing Shoop and replacing Mrs.
Young will Immediately be challeng-
ed by the courts, according TO the
opposition.
Mrs. Youngs failure to be reflect
ed two weeks ago by the school
board aroused storm of popular
Indignation. Mass meetings were
held and the school board and may
or's office besieged by delegations
demanding Shoop's resignation. Wo-
mems organizations, political and
civic were soldidly behind the depos-
ed superintendent. Mayor Harrison
declared the members of the school
board appointed by him had voted
against Mrs. Young in an ''under-
handed way. He summarily accepted
their designations. four of whose res
ignations had been placed in his
hands when they took office. The
refusal of the four TO abide by his
action was the storm center OF tho
fight at yesterdays meeting. The -four
were in their seats before the meet
ing convened, refusing TO leave and
the new men were forced to find
chairs elsewhere. A squad of police
was present to keep order.
The storm broke with the greatest
fury when one of the four attempted
to make speech criticsing Mrs
Young. After a motion TO reconsid-
er Shoop's election was obtained
things went smoothly Shoop was de-
clared out of office, Mrs. Young elect
ed and Shoop declared back in his
old place as assistant superintend.

There's lots of satisfaction in a fellow doing his dead level best, don't you think? Even in grow ing and harvesting g crop 0frice this applies. I heard a bunch Of men speaking of the fact that . full quarter of million dollars had been lost by the unprecedented weather, mention the fact thatI much of this loss was becassc the rice growers hadn't done their best. They mentioned the fact that on the Harshbarger & Staley ranch just south of Brink ley there was less than five acres of rice that hadn't been cut out of a total of 225 acres. Said one of the crowd those Stagg men who are farming this ranch simply done their dead level best and as a result there will be but little loss whereas some of the other rice growers simply didn't do this." There's lots of satis- faction and often times good cash pay in doing your dead level best.

Without a doubt one of the most important offices in the county is that of County and Probate Clerk and in offering for this office MT. Wallace M. Graham one of the best known and reliable business men of the County site feels that the impor- tance of the office justlfies sacri- ficing his business should be successful in selling the nomina- tion.
 MT. Graham is one of those clever fellow who has ''come up from the ranks" so to speak. He has been energetic. frugal and careful in his own business and has been able to so manage his own personal affairs as to give assurance of his particular fitness in handling of the busi- ness affairs of the county just at this time.
 Mir. Graham has for the past three wears been connected with the Bank of Clarendon and is said to be one of the best clerical men in the county.

 Judge sTrice was elected to fill out the term of s. T. Holloway resigned several months ago and at once began a most determin- ed and earnest effort to unravel and straighten out the financial ''ball up" that has caused such a stir in the affairs of the coun- ty..
 Judge Trice is a man of high moral standing and true worth both as a citizen and official for it will be remembered that he rendered splendid service to the county as county and probate judge some few years since. He is particularly fitted for the big work he has undertaken and it is a foregone conclusion that he will have no opposition for the office this time, and very rightly he should not have.

The name of R. F. Milwee is possibly better known to the county than any other public man in the county.
 MT. Milwee began hls public life some IF years ago as County Assessor. Then he was elected Sheriff; then County Judge and afterwards when as representa- tive he was honored by having been elected speaker of the House.
 In every one of these offices, MT. Milwee made good and there's no one who has had aught to say of his official records as county judge. With just about the same

ugly conditions existing as now exist, MT. Milwee pulled the de- preciated county warrants up to par and put the county on a solid financial basis. As representa- tive, Mir. Milwee passed the coun- ty depository act saving to the people of the county several thousand dollars in interest each year.
 As a sheriff, MT. Milwee was the same efficient, careful, pains taking, obliging officer and ii will no doubt be a matter of pleasure for his friends thro' out the county to extend to him theil suffrage at this time.

St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1913-02-08

Last Sunday was a sad Sab
bath for two of the most pro-
minent families of Sunset. The
entire community was surprised
as well as shocked to hear of the
accidental death of Noise
Meche, nine year old son of
Onezime Meche, a prosperous
farmer of the Western section of
the parish. It is alleged
that young Meche was out hunt
ing with his uncle, Xavier Smith,
IL year old son of J. NJ. Smith
when Smith went to pick up a
bird he had killed, and the. gun
went oft discharging, the whole
load into the head of the Meche
boy blowing out hisibrains several
feet away. He died instantly.
When the two left that morning
for thier hunting expidition they
little wondered what the con-
sequence Of this hunt would be-:
neither thought that such a ter
rible accident would happen and
one was as happy as the other
over the expectation of getting
a lot game. But death is like a
thief in the dark that can get
into the most securely locked
doors and perform its awful work !;
it never announces its coming;
never sends forth a herald
to warn us that it is lurking
close by, ready to strike Us
down with the finishing blow.
It respects neither rich nor poor,
neither young nor old. neither
the strong nor the feeble, and
strikes when we least expect it.
The Smith boy had no idea that
his game would be human
instead of birds; now he is pros
trated over the killing of his
nephew, bosom friend and life
long companion and prays to God
that the thing could be undone.
To the berieved family the
Clarion extends it's coincidence
and can only say that Gods will
be done. I"

ST. LANDRY HAS new JAILER
Mr, Frank Dsucei. the Former Keeper d
Our Jail Has Resigned. and Mr. Eaell
Swords SHeGseds Him.

Frank Doucet, for many years
connected with the parish, as
taller, has severed his connec-
ton with it and recently ten
dered his resignation to Sheriff
Marion Z. Swords. On account
of his fourishing liquor business,
Mr.. Doucet thought it was best
to devote all his time to his own
business and consequently
turned in his resignation and is
now very busily engaged run
ming a saloon on Court Street,
known as the Courthouse Cafe.
Since Mr.. Doucet has left the
jail we are informed that the
Sheriff's brother. Mr.. Ewell
Swords, who for many years has
been the chief criminal deputy.
has taken the position. Every
one knows who Ewell is, so
there is no use enumerating
his many qualities.
Mr.. Doucet is very well known
throughout the parish and i s
considered a power in political
circles in the Northwestern por-
tions of St. Landry. He is very
popular, industrious and de-
serving, and we feel sure that
his business will prosper and be
very successful.

Eunice another way Opelousas
will be a virtual hub and vii
thereby give the people all over
the country splendid oppor-
tunity to come to the parish-seat
to attend to their business and
return home in time for dinner
Consequently not only the Ope-
lousas people, but also all those
living on the proposed route
should get busy and do all in
their power to land this Traction
Company which means SO much
to their welfare.
Mr.. Shackelford is rather
optimistic over the encourage
ment that he has received at the
hands Of the citizens of old St.
Landry all along the line, and is
confident that he will soon be
able to satisfy them with elec-
trio cars cutting ST. Landry into
four parts and giving the entire
parish an easy entrance to Ope-
lousas and nearby towns.
Once we secure this enter
prise we will have cast our lotion
the road to progressiyeness and
many other such corporations
will seek admission into our
midst.
