The End Of a Sensation.

When the United States dis

ago and made a sensational 1T
tack upon Acknowledgement Nc
Reynolds in connection with the
charges pending against Diggs
and Caminetti for violating the
Mann act and against officials of
the Western Fuel Company for
defrauding the government of
customs duty on imported coal.
he thought he had the attorney
general and the President in a
corner. That he acted hastily
and was insubordinate is now
fully established.
The cases against Diggs and
Daminetti have both been tried
and the government secured a
verdict of guilty in both instan-
ces: In the case against four Of
ficials of the Western Fuel Com
pany, a jury has returned a ver-
dict of guilty against three of the
defendants. Thus the charge
made by the former United States
district attorney that a conspira-
cy was on foot to defeat the ends
of justice in these cases has been
disproven.
1t is gratifying, of course, to
know that justice has ti'iumphed
in these cases, but it is scarcely
less gratifying to know that the
country has forgotten even the
name Of the man who sought to
discredit the administration at
Washington. WAS it Smith,
Jones or Brown" asks the New
York World. Whoever it was.
justice, as usual in the United
Statescourts, has taken its course.
the principal defendants in both
cases have been convicted and
the San Francisco attorney with
his laundering accusations has
reIapsed into obsculity. "-Shrev-

Opposed to the Per Capita Tax.

Coifax, La, Feb. -, 1914.
Editor Coltdr Chronicle:
Allow me space in your paper
for a few lines in regard to the
per capita tax. am opposed to
any more taxes being levied on
US, and / think that the money
spent keeping up the public roads
throughout the parish could be
handled in more economical
way than tbs now being handled,
and the roads put in better con-
dition with less money. We hill
farmers don't make much at best,
and>with the boil weevil destroy
ing the principal money crop,
and such destruction as we had
last fall caused by the long con-
tinusd wet weather. and. then, a
continued raise in taxes. So un-
der these conditions is why / OPP
pose any more taxes, and, hit or
miss crop. we must pay our
taxes or our property will be TAX
en- for same.
If we are taxed until we have
to give our property to the tax
collector for taxes. don't see
much progress in it for us. With
a continued raise in taxes the
majority of US can't keep our
property and pay the taxes on it.
| don't believe in being quite so
progressive as that. l am not
like Mr.. Roberts said in his arti-
Gle last week, in favor of vesting
the constable with power to take
a mans coat or hat to pay the
per capita tax. And if the con-
stable does have to take old
clothes to pay the tax, / am sure
he will be left. for my old coat
and hat wont pay the bill. With
best wishes to the Chronicle.

NUMBER 1s
VIM Parish Official Indicted by the
Grand Jury.

WINFIELD, La. Feb. PA sensa-
ton was sprung here Tuesday when it
became known that the grand jury, at
the end of special session, had re-
turned FIVE or six indictments against
j. L. Brewton, member of the police
jury of VIM parish from ward ten,
twice president of that body and one of
the best known citizens of the parish.
Brewton is said to have disappeared
and to be now fugitive from justice.
The exact nature of the charges
against Brewton are not known, but
they are said to have grown out of an
inquiry into the manipulation of parish
funds. Between 5000 and So. 200 is
said to be involved. In what manner
Brewton succeeded in getting this mon
ey and how long the alleged grating
has been in progress are matters which
have not yet been made public. There
is considerable secrecy about the case,
but it is said that the grand jury probe
has been quietly in progress for some
time.
Mr.. BresTton is young man of ex-
cellent family connections and was SER
wing his second term as police juror at
the time of his disappearance. He was
elected president some years ago and
succeeded himself in that office when
the police jury was recognized after
the election Of 1912. His brother. G.
E. Brewton, served the parish as treas
urer from 1908 to 1912.
The whereabouts of ]. L. Brewton,
the indicted police juror, is unknown.
but the sheriff's Office is making an
energetic effort to locate him and bring
him back to stand trial on the charges.
1t is limited that when the grand jury
adjourns Wednesday it will hand down
other sensational indictments.
1t was stated here that one of the
ways Brewton succeeded in getting
money from the parish was to represent
to the police jury that certain bridges
had been built in his ward and the COZ
tractors had authorized him to collect
for them. In some instances, it is
claimed. the bridges were not built; in
others, the charge is made that the cost
represented by Brewton was greater
than the actual figures. This practice
is said to have been going on for the
past few years.

Revising the Catholic Bible.

gigantic task of revising the Vul-

of revision. of which he is the
head, has already been at work
for five years, and the abbot is
now in this country delivering
lectures and raising money to
complete the work. 1t is esti-
mated it will cost 81, 500, 600 and
will take about seven years long
