keokuk Pitcher Notified Of Indefinite
Suspension and Heavy Fine
by the Club Dl-
rectors.
FINE OTHER PITCHERS
Mccullough and Whitaker Are Fines
$50 Each for Failure to Keep
In Proper condI-
ton.

Ed. Wahl, Keokuk pitcher, was to
day notified by the club that he had
been Suspended indefinitely and fined
whatever salary is due him for insub
ordination, disorderly conduct, and
excessive drinking. The salary now
due Wahl Is said to amount to about
$3.50. VAIL said today that he expect
ed to leave for his homo at Dale. In
DIANA Saturday.
Besides the fine placed against
VAIL two other pitchers. Mccullough
and Whitaker were fined $50 each for
failure to keep In condition. This
fine, it is understood. will not be In
fiicted during the good behavior OF the
two men.
The directors OF the club say that
the three pitchers who have been
fined have not kept in condition as
they should during the present sea-
son. On this account they have been
unable to work at their best, q fact
which has accounted to large ex-
tent for the loss of many games. The
directors say that the other players
have not given the trouble that these
three pitchers have. The pitching
staff Of the local club is generally ad-
mitted to be the best In the associa-
ton, but on account Of the alleged
fact that some of the pitchers have
not taken care Of themselves they
have been beaten in many games, &C
cordfng to the directors.

THE DITCHING MACHINE.

"A large number of citizens tins
week have been witnesses to the
workings of the Austin Ditcher,
recently purchased by the Parish
and now being demonstrated
along the forty arpent road. The
machine, a mammoth affair, pro
PEELED by its own steam, is pro
vided with series of long blades
which cut away the earth to be
scooped up by revolving buckets
and deposited on a carrier which
throws the dirt about ten feet
away and makes a beautiful slOOp-
ing ditch five and one-half feet
in depth, one foot at bottom and
seven and one-half feet ON top.
The size of the ditch however,
can be regulated to any smaller
size desired, so that the ditcher
can be employed wherever need
ed for drainage IF the public
roads. All wiio saw the work
were impr-essed with the possibil-
tiles ri the machine and many
congratulated the Police Jury for
paving purchased it. Bad roads
for many years, have been the
heaviest tax imposed upon us and
the efforts of the Jury to relieve
MS of this burden is appreciated
by all progressive and public
spirited men as well as by those
who make constant use of the
roads. The demonstration which
is being conducted by an engi-
neer sent by the factory, is to
continue several days during
which ditch will be dug to lead
along the Forty Arpent road from
the intersection Of iberia Street
to the City Canal, and which when
completed will enable the contin-
uation of this road to Lourd s
lane and provide several entran-
ces to New iberia from the Petite
Anse and Coteau sections.

PRISON REFORM IN LOUISE
ANA.

The Daily Times has frequently
referred to the resent prison sys-
tenn in Louisiana, calling atten-
ton to many changes which
should be made In most states
the penitentiaries are being con
verted in to reformatories and
! the unfortunate inmates are made
to feel that a ray of hope stands
out FOR them instead of becoming
imbued at once with the idea that
their doom is forever sealed.
Along this line of thought the
Texas Farm and Ranch discusses
improvement needed in the prison
system Of Texas.
"Men who have committed
crimes are not beasts says the
Farm and Ranch. "Men who
have yielded to temptation are
often but the creatures of thei"
circumstances and often would
be glad to reinstate themselves
with the world-to be good aud
useful citizen. Every man has
sinned, and the man who would
say he has not is the vilest of all.
Yet for the sins of men, often sins
like unto other sins which 90 un-
punished, there is unending pun
ishment, and life fare worse than
death. May all our states soon
learn the great truth that society
is often criminal for it's neglect
to reform the men who would
gladly yield to good influences.
For profit from the poor convicts
we ought not to convert our pri-
sons into holes nor ought we TO
keep among us the cause and
sources Of crimes factories or
criminals-and yet condemn the
weak souls who yield to tho
temptations who set before them.
Above all let justice be done, but
let justice be done as justice, and
not with devilish hatred. The
prison systems must become sys-
TENS OF reformation, or else they
are failures, and society. is the
criminal far worse than any con
fined in prison at the command Of
society.
The Daily Times has assurance
that several prison reform bills
will be presented at the next ses-
sion of the Louisiana Legislature
which will bring about great
change in the methods and poll
cies now being followed.-News- |
