ASSESSMENT BILLS AMENDED
Opponents Of Measures Take Only
Means Of Multiplying them.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Baton Rouge.-Beaten In their ef-
forts to kill the equalization of assess
ment bills by delay and unable to de.
feat them on a square-cut fight, the
opposition cabal in the Senate succeed
ed in getting into the bills amend
ments which in effect mean their
death.
Desertion of four Senators who
have heretofore stood out for assess.
ment reform accomplished the trick.
These Senators were in favor of both
the Roberts rural and the Manion ur-
ban assessment bills as whole, but
were induced to support the amend.
ments on various grounds. The argu.
ments ranged from harmony" to the
success Of the bills.''
The Manion bill was amended to pro-
vide as follows:
That it should not apply to cities
under 5000 except that cities of from
1000 to 1900 night apply 1t by ordi.
nance Of their governing authority.
That 1t should not apply to any city
unless the voters of that city should
first have voted to come in under its
provisions at referendum election
called for the purpose. Signatures Of
30 1.3 per cent of the registered voters
are necessary to call such an cleo
ton.
That assessments made under the
bill shall not exceed 60 per cent OF the
market value OF the property.

New Orleans.-Another case OF bu'
bonic plague, the fifth to be discover
ed since the disease appeared here
two weeks ago, was found Sunday.
DR.. w. c. Rucker, assistant surgeon

1t was typical bubonic plague case
This is the first woman to be stricken
The woman, Elizabeth Domingo,
employed in a restaurant within two
blocks Of where the first case was
found, although she resides several
miles away. The restaurant was fu-
migated. The father of the woman,
who also is employed at the restau-
rant, said that on the day his daughter
was stricken he had killed a rat which
appeared to be suffering. On the next
day he killed another rat seemingly
in the same condition. The woman Is
very ill and little hope is held for her
recovery.
Two negroes and one white man
have died from the plague since the
contagion was discovered here June

STAGE Fright.

Very few people are really free from
liability to stage fright, and the vet
eran in public life is just as likely to
be affected as is the novice. Attacks,
moreover, frequently come when they
are least expected. Hence no speak
er or artist can face an audience and
feel sure that he will not have to suf-
fer from the fortunes Of this particu-
larly painful form of nervousness.
Musicians, Of course, are the worst
sufferers. The performer on a stringed
instrument is helpless If his hand
trembles, while the clear enunciation
Of a singer can be ruined by that
