Several attempts at burgla-
ries were committed here this
week and had it not been for the
prompt arrival of the Police Of
ficers they would have succeeded
in stealing many valuables. In
one instance not more than ten
minutes after a phone message
was sent into the Police Head
quarters the officers were on the
scene, but even then the culprits
escaped when they overheard the
telephone message being sent in
for the police. This shows the
need of having some one on hand
at the Station to answer the calls.

The damage suits filed
against the American Sugar Trust
by the sugar refineries, the great
or number Of whom, being FIRE ed
out of that line of business long
since by the tactics of the Trust in
this Parish alone, amounts to over
several million dollars. In another
column appears a list of the
names and amounts being sued for
which we reproduce on the first
page. Should the litigants win
their suits for the amounts in
volved, which is a just one, this
section of the State would re-
cover from all of the hardships
which has been brought upon it
by the removal Of the tariff.
While the two have no connec-
ton whatsoever, the refiners of
Louisiana will accomplish great
deal should they succeed only in
crushing the great octopus that
has been responsible more than
anything else in not only jeopar-
dizing their business, but also in
crushing the cane grower who is
also a victim of this gigantic mo-
nopoly.
Mr.. Guy Gutheridge Of La
fayette, acting manager of the
Southwest Louisiana Develop
ment Bureau arrived here last
Tuesday. Mr.. Gutheridge is max
ing a canvas of the City for the
purpose Of increasing the already
large membership of the Bureau.
Those of our citizens who can af-
ford to join the Association
should lend their assistance by
having themselves enrolled as ac-
tive members. The Association
is already beginning to advertise
the resources Of this country and
will devote their best efforts in
inducing white immigration to
settle among us and develop our
farm lands. The advertisement
that New Iberia will receive
through this Association is well
worth the support of every citi-
zen who wishes to change the
conditions of the country to one
of prosperity, consequently ev-
cry business man should become
an active member.
