Iemem Der that when the river

we were making a fight again
st that, claiming that it was
a pork barrel bill, the gentle
nah from Wyoming, who
thinks that THE House would
never yield to spolitical
pressure, assaulted the river
and harbor bill, and said that
it was a bill worked out to
grease the bearings of the
machinery in the respective
districts. Does the gentleman
think that the house would

are to be considered as party

that only two or three bills

government agents. 1t is
semi-oficially declared "that

that they had the time of their

OPERA House Is NO

The Venerable Old Building
will be Rem0delIed and

The Sandoz Opera House, for
MANY years one of the popular
nIaces of amusement during the
winter months in Opelousas has
heen sold and in a few weeks
will be like a brand new build
ing and will be a store house, in
stead Of place where one could

play.
MIR. George Abdella, who has
been a merchant in this city for
4 number of years, purchased
from the Leonce Sandoz estate
the building for a consideration
Of $500 and at once started
preparation to make this build
ing a very good store building.
The first floor will be used by
Mr.. Abdella as his store, while
the upper story will be arranged
for the home of the owner.
BY this sale Opelousas has
been left without an opera house
but it is hoped and expected
that some one will establish a
new and modern show building,
as this city is badly in need of a
large and commodious theatre.
Mr.. Abdella has been stationed
in the building next to the West
ern Union Telegraph office, at
one time designated as the Rouss
Racket Store. He will move his
merchandise as soon as possible
into his new place.

AMERICAS FOREMOST
FINANCIER IS
DEAD.
j. Pierpont Morgan Passes
Away LIN Rome,
Italy.

News was received on Monday
evening, by cablegram, from
Rome, stating that the greatest
Of Americas bankers had passed
silently away into the great be-
yond in a hotel in the Immortal
City. All America is in mourn
ing for the death of J. Pierpont
Morgan, the greatest of the
money kings.
It had been reported for sew
eral days before the fatal end
came that the doctors feared
greatly for the death of the
finaneier, but the news was
never thought to be authentic as
some reports were out to the
effect that Mr.. Morgan was not
seriously i'll, whereas others were
to the effect that he was rather
sick and hopes of his recovery
were very slim.
When the time came for Mr..
Morgan to pass to the great
divide, Prof. Bastaneli and DIR.
Dixon forced Mr.. and Mrs. Her.
bert L. Satterlee. his son-in-law
and daughter, and Miss Helen
Hamilton, to leave the room. In
a few minutes the time was up
and Mr.. Morgan left the entire
world to mourn his loss.
It is said that the strain which
the old fnancier underwent,
when the Pujo Committee was
investigating into the operations
of the money trust at Wash
ington City, a few months ago,
was greatly the cause of Mr..
Morgan's breakdown.

VISITORS HERE FROM
IBERIA TO INSPECT
Sewerage.
IL o d e l System of Opelousas
Draws. Attention From
Neighb0ring Towns.

On Friday last, a party of
men from1 New iberia, came
over to Opelousas to inspect the
sewerage system Of this city.
These men intend putting up a
SIMILAR system in their home
town, after being so well i'm
pressed by the one which this
city boasts of.
Not only were these men i'm
pressed with the sewerage sys-
tenn, but they were surprised to
see Opelousas such a progressive
little city as she really is.
These men visited the sceptic
tank and the pumping station,
both of which they thought were
very good. New Iberia has a
Sewerage Board and it is
thought that this Board will con-
struct a sewerage system for
that city similar to the one
which Opelousas has.
This is one thing which Ope-
lousas can boast of; it is hoped
that in the space of a few
months the city will be able to
boast of splendid street pavings,
which will, like the sewerage,
draw the attention and attrac-
tion Of the many nearby towns
and cities.
Mr.. William Sandoz, Secretary
of the Sewerage Board of the
City of Opelousas. showed the
visitors around, while Mr.. Ado
Hollier accompanied them, ex-
planning things as they came to
them.

II. C.. NULL is GIVEN
HIS LIBERTY BY JURY
Former Employee of Frisco Railroad at This Point
Is Found Not Guilty of
ENLIGHTENMENT.

there seemed to have been a GER
tain loosenoss as to the run of
the office, and it appears that
Null was not the only one who
had access to the money and
| different hand writings are no.
ticeable in the books kept by Mr..
NulPs attorneys, Messrs. E. P.
Veazie and John W. Lewis,
dwelled very much upon the
civil liability Of the case and
held that Mr.. Null was not Grim
inally responsible as to the
charges alleged in the indict-
ment.
Mr.. Hutchinson, an employee
at the main Office, at Houston,
Texas, stated that it would take
about thirty days for them to
check up an offense of this kind,
as the money would be deposited
at their banks in New Orleans
and they would Immediately re-
eeive a deposit slip from said
banks, but would not check up
the agent until probably t h e
tenth Of the following month.
Upon this statement Mr.. Veazie
asked whether it would not be
serving written notice upon him
self if he had criminal intent to
steal that money, by sending to
the main Office a statement GER
tifying that the money was sent
to be deposited.
It was believed that Mr.. Null
had fraudulently used a check
for freight from Hyman-Hiller
Cotton Buyers, but this was
made clear by the statement of
Mr.. Hutchinson that this check
was received by them at the
main office, but they had no
way Of finding out whether this
check was for the payment of
other freight or the freight in
question.
Mr.. Blanc, connected with the
Canal Louiaiana Bank & Trust
Company, of New Orleans,
stated in his evidence that his
bank had received different de-
posits, at various times, and
that these corresponded with
the statements sent by Mr.. Null
to the main Office at Houston,
Texas.
There were found six deposits
short, at the time that Mr.. Null
was relieved from office, but
since that time four of these
have been traced, while the two
others have never been found.
Mr.. Null, in his testimony,
said in substance that he had not
attempted to conceal his identity:
he went from here to some
points in Arkansas and from
thence to Manitoba, Canada,
where he applied for a teachers
certificate which was made out in
the name. ofH. C. Null. He was
arrested in Manitoba and placed
in Jail on the 22nd day of Janu-
ary. He remained in Jail from
that time, with the exception of
the few days which it took to
make the trip to Louisiana, until
he was freed, last Wednesday
night.
Mr.. Null left on the 2::52
Frisco train, Thursday evening,
supposed to have gone to Ark
ansas.
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1913-04-05

of the Frisco railroad, as agent
at Opelousas, charged with hav.
ing embezzled 81, 400 of that
company's money was found not
guilty, Wednesday night; nine OF
the jurors being for acquital,
while three were of the opinion
that Mr.. Null was guilty.
1t was thought that Null had
misappropriated the Frisco Com
pany's money for the purpose of
organizing a Boosters Club"
which was to advertise the won
derful advantages and abundant
resources of Southwest Louisi-
ana. It was said that he made
a confession of this fact to DR..
John A. Hass, but Mr.. Null in
his testimony said that by the
words, The company's money"
he meant that he was using the
Boosters Clubs" money in ad-
vertising this trip and that he
did not mean the railroad COM
pany's money.
Mr.. Chas. Emory, travelling
auditor for the Frisco railroad,
stated in substance that accord
ing to the books of Mr.. Null
there was a shortage of seven
hundred and seventy-seven dol
lars, which had not and could
not be accounted for. The Fris-
co lines required from the agents
to deposit the money they had
on hand, at the Canal Louisiana
Bank & Trust Company, or the
New Orleans State Bank, of New
Orleans, and to send duplicates
of these deposits to the main
office at Houston, Texas. A du-
plicate was presented by Dis
trict Attorney R. Lee Garland,
which had been sent by Mr..
Null to the main Office, showing
that he had deposited money in
the New Orleans bank, but the
money had not and could not be
traced up.
Mr.. Emory claims that the
functions of his office are merely
tocheck up the agents every three
to four months. On August 4th
he attempted to check up the
cash book of Mr.. Null when the
latter told Mr.. Emory that he
had two messenger books and
that it was impossible for him to
be checked, as one of the books
had been taken by the express
official and would not be re-
turned to the agent S office until
some time the next day.
The following day Mr.. Emory
went to the office to check NulFs
books and found the messenger
book and Immediately proc eded
with his task. After this work
was over, Mr.. Emory disco 2ered
that NulPs cash book was short
of some 81, 400 and this shattage
could not be explained by the
accused. When Nulls freight
account had been checked, Mr..
Emory demanded nine hundred
dollars from Mr.. Null to close
up affairs, and the latter after
having deposited this amount in
bank gave a draft in favor of
the Frisco lines for the nine hum
dred dollars.
