The Santa Maria Council of the K.
OF c. had a very successful initiation
last Sunday. About thirty Algerines
were added to the rolls of our local
council. If you happen to meet on the
street some of your gentlemen friends,
who start laughing without any appar,
ent proyocation, you may reasonably
surmise that he is one of the new init
ates, musing about some of the force
ful lessons impressed upon him last
Sunday, and 1t may take a few weeks
before he resumes his former compos'
ure and RECEIVERS from the severe nerv-
Gus shocks received on that occasion.
Yet they will all tell you that the init.
alton ceremonies are most wonderful
and the lesson of Catholic loyalty most
impressive. Judging from the present
membership, Santa Maria Council
gives fair promise to become soon a
power for good in our community.

MOTHER HAS BIG SCARE.

On Friday morning little Ed. Pujol,
residing at sos Verret street, disap.
peared from his home and on account
of his age being only three and one
half years, there was some excitement
in the neighbOrhood and after half an
hour or so an appeal was made to the
police to find the boy, whose descrip-
ton was told them. 1t was only a
short time until the little fellow was
located at the roundhouse of the Grand
Isle Railroad.
We write this news item for the fact
that it calls attention to what kind %
accidents should be reported to the
police. Had it not been for a we'll
organized department the little fellow
may have wandered for several hours
before being located. When children
are lost or robberies are committed or
anything Of an unusual kind takes
place, the police should be notified at
once; then they, being in possession
of the facts, are in a better position
to act in these instances. 1t is the old
saying of tell your troubles to a po-
liceman."

REDFERN TO GO JULY 1-HAMP.
TON TO SUCCEED HIM.
Effort Will Be made to Remove Local
Office From Civil Service.

Washington dispatches say, as a re-
suit Of the investigation of the con
duct OF his office, immigration Com
missioner Redfern July l will be re
.duced from a commissionership to an
inspectorship. Commissioner General
|, aminetti and Secretary Wilson have
come TO the conclusion that they can
not overlook what Redfern did in the
way OF using government property for
his own purposes.
Positive information to this effect
went TO Mayor Behrman and other
friends of Redeem. They have been
fighting for his retention in office ever
since the incoming of the Wilson ad-
ministratiOn. 1t was they who saved
him a little more than a year ago,
when the immigration officials had a
look at the law OF 1907 which made the
commissiOnership OF New Orleans a
classified civil service position, subject
TO appointment by the immigration
Commissioner General, with the APP
proval Of the Secretary of Labor, or
Commerce and Labor, as the head of
that service was then called.
Commissioner Hampton, at Calves
ton, viii be transferred to the New
Orleans office on the day Redfern be-
comes an inspector Commissioner
General Caminetti says the transfer
of Hampton, who is a grandson of Gen
Wade Hampton, will be only tempo
rary.
Before Hampton is sent away the
members of the Louisiana delegation
hope TO repeal that part of the law of
1907 which makes the New Orleans
commissiOnership a civil service job,
and have its place taken by a statute
making the office a presidential one.
Naturally the Louisiana senators will
expect to name the successor of Red
fern.
While the question was Redfern or
some other classified civil service en-
ployee, the senators stood with Mayor
Behrman for the retention of Redfern.
But Redfern must go, say his superb
ors. They do not know whether he
will remain as an inspector, and they
don't care. The fact probably is they
would prefer to have him resign. The
loss in compensation will be the differ
ence between $500 year, a house to
live in, the Corinthian to use in COM
ing to and from the city, and 81 a day
and pay your own rent.
The use of the Corinthian for per-
sonal purposes, the use of government
supplies and government employees
for purposes other than strictly Off
cial, is the gravamen of charges
brought against Redfern by inspectors
and those who have been anxious to
have Redfern displaced by a Demo
crat.

NOT MURDER.
Assistant Coroner Rupp Holds Autopsy
On Man Found Dead.

What at first seemed a murder mys.
terry, Friday night developed into a
death from natural causes, and the re.
Isultant excitement soon subsidized. The
victim was a white man, about thirty
years of age, heavily built. whose iden.
tity remains to be established He
was about > feet 5 inches tall, weighed
about $50 pounds, had light sandy hair
and light blue ewes. He was dressed
poorly, his trousers being black, white
Inegligee shirt, no collar, black low
quarter string shoes. no socks, and
wore a check cloth cap.
The fact that he had a wound back
.of the right ear, and was bleeding from
lit, and also from his nose. made it ap-
pear as if he had been the victim OF
foul play. His pockets appeared to
have been turned inside out, and this
added to the mystery. Assistant Cor
oner Rupp, however. dispelled this
theory when he held an autopsy, which
developed the fact that death was due
to apOpleXy. He said that the wound
behind the ear was caused by the fall
to the leyee, the body having been
found on the top of the levee, between
Alix and Eliza streets.
Witnesses were found who met the
man several blocks further up the le-
wee, whom he had asked for directions
to the ferry. This was at 80 O'Clock
The body was found at sos o'clock by
Louis Jeffrey, who summoned the po-
lice.

MOTOR CAR FOR QUICK TRIPS.

The Grand Isle Railroad Company
has an agreement with a land company
OF this city to operate a motor car on
special occasions to Belle Chase, La.
An article appeared in one of the eve
ming papers regarding this and it was
thought that the motor car was avail.
able only for the use OF this land COM
pany, but this is not a fact. E. w.
Burgess, the general superintendent of
the company, stated that the motor
car is at the service of the public at
any time provided sufficient notice in
advance is given for it's charter.
The motor car can be had for three
or four passengers including the opera
tor of the car at the rate of so cents
a mile, to go to any point along the
Grand Isle Railroad. The minimum
charge, however, is $40 for a trip. In
other words, no trip will be made by
the motor car under twenty miles. The
establishment of this little motor line
to points along the Grand Isle no doubt
will be of great convenience to parties
who want to make special trips to
show property or for other occasions.
We trust that this movement is the
beginning Of the establishment of larg-
er motor cars by the company.

SUNSET LINES WANT 200 ACRES
FOR OIL TANKS.
offer of 100000 Is Refused for the
Oakdale Tract

An offer by the Southern Pacific
Company of 100000 for 200 acres of
Hand in the Oakdale trade in Algiers
has created considerable agitation in
lwest-bank real estate circles. The Of
fer Of 81, 900 al acre was made to the
tOakdale Land Company and refused
Jas the company did not want TO sur
Irender its land at that price. Negotia-
ltions are still on and the railroad may
pay the price the promoters are ask
hing.
Agents Of the line told c. G. Holifield
of the Oakdale Company that they
Ewanted it for the establishment of oil
tanks for their engines. 1t is stated,
however that there is a strong posi-
.bility that the Southern Pacific inter
.ests want the land for the extension of
their shops so they can enlarge their
capacity and Importance. 1t is even
stated that the railroad expects to
move a good part Of its mechanical
equipment from the Houston shops to
New Orleans on account of the in
creased importance of these terminals
from a traffic standpoint and to pre-
pare for the Panama canal business.
Land men in Algiers and vicinity are
holding on to their property in the be-
lief that it will increase very rapidly
in value in the next few years.
