SUPERINTENDENT EARL OFFERS
WATER FROM ALGIERS PLANT
AT LOW RATE.

Superintendent Earl, of the sewer
age and water board, has submitted
a proposition to the city council of
Gretna for supplying that town with
plant. The price for water will be 10
cents per thousand gallons, up to
100, gallons, and Z dents per
thousand for all water consumed
more than 100000 gallons.
This, Mr.. Earl asserts, will be the
same price that the residents of New
Orleans pay. However, as citizens
of New Orleans pay a special tax for
the maintenance of the water, sewer
and drainage systems to ,iequalize
costs the town of Gretna will have to
pay an additional 5 per cent on the
capacity ,netered to ove deprecia-
ton. There will be a meter installed
in the main supply pipe which will
be set for a fixed capacity and the
town will be charged accordingly.
The arrangements to meter the
water into the premises of the Gretna
consumers will be made by the Gret-
ma city council. The citizens of New
Orleans pay a service charge of from
SO per year up, based upon the size
of the meter. 1t will be left to the
Gretna authorities to make the ar
rangements for the meters and to de-
eide whether they will sell or rent
the meters or make a service charge.
There will be but little change nee
essary in the Algiers plant to take
care of the additional service as it
has the capacity or can be altered
to have it without much cost.

ALGIERS BOXER NOT BLAMED.

With a view of fixing the RESPONSE
bility, the parish grand jury at it,
meeting mex Tuesday will investi.
gate the death of Natalie Lafauci
16-year-old boxer of 721 Marigny
street, who collapsed after the third
round of his contest with Edward
Kern, Is, of 407 Opelousas avenue
at the Unity Club Monday night. La.
fauci died at 11:15 o'clock in the
Charity Hospital.
Following a conference with Dis.
trict Attorney Gutenberg Tuesday
morning, Superintendent Reynolds
announced that a physical examina,
ton of fighters, to be made by the
city physician, would be required in
the future. The police chief said that
he would enforce this plan rigidly
and any promoter lodging it will be
closed up.
The diagnosis of Assistant Coroner
DR.. G. William Groetsch, who held
an autopsy on the body of Lafauci,
showed that death was due to acute
dilation of the heart, s~uperinduced
by an extremely bad lung which was
bound down as a result of pleurisy.
Death vas not due to a blow of
any kind" said DR.. Groetsch. 1T
can be attributed only to physical eX-
haustion. The boys physical condi-
ton was such that he should have
been under a doctors treatment in
stead of in a prize ring"
On the strength of DR.. Groetsch's
statement that death was not due to
any blow he received, Kern, who had
been held under a bond of $500 on
the charge of manslaughter, was re-
leased from custody.
If there is any blame to fix. it will
rest upon the promoters, d. j. Tor
torich and Tommy Burns, it is said,
Captain Paul Conan, who is thor
oughly investigating the matter,
learned from Lafauci's seconds that
the boy was not examined by a physi-
clan at any time. although the club
has a physician.
This fact, it is said, has a ten
dency to show that the promoters
were negligent in permitting Lafauci
to enter the ring without having been
put through a physical examination.
Had a reputable physician made
a conscientious examination of La
fauci," added DR.. Groetsch, "he
would have advised that the boy not
be made to fight"
Lafauci was substituted for Kid
Beele, who at the last moment with
drew because of boils. Referee Wal
ter Griffin bears out DR.. Groetsch's
statement that Lacauci's death was
not caused by a blow. He said that
Lafauci fell just before the end of
the third round without having been
hit. The bell rang for the end of the
round just as Lafauci fell. He arose
and walked to his corner smiling.
Just before the bell rang for the
fourth and last round, however, La
fauci pitched forward on his face. He
IA carried from the ring and hur-
ried to Charity Hospital. where he
died an hour later.

CONWAY YOUNG LADY
 DIES AT LITTLE ROCK
MISS FAYE CANADA EXPIRES SUDDENLY IN THE CAP
 TEAL CITY.

News was received here last night of the sudden death of Miss Faye Can ada, member of the faculty of the Des Arc public school and daughter of MT. and Mrs. w II. Canada of Conway, which occurred at Little Rock shortly before II o'clock. The tele- phone message stating that she was dead was the first intimation the fam fly had that she was i'll. and the news came as a great shock. Particulars of her illness have not vet been learn ed, but it was announced today that death was due to standardization.

SPECIAL SESSION
 CALL IMPROBABLE
GOVERNOR NONCOMMITAL
BELIEVED, HOWEVER, HE WILL NOT COMPLY WITH CON-
 MISSIONS REQUEST.

Little Rock, March l5.-It is con sidered improbable that Governor Hays will comply with the request of the Panama Pacific exposition com- missioners and call a special session of the Arkansas legislature in order that an appropriation for an exhibit for this state at the fair might be passed. The governor has not yet an nounced his intentions, but his friends state there is little probability of his issuing the call
 The commissioners last night adopt ed resolutions declaring that unless a special session was called no exhibit could be made. The resolution fol lows:
 "Whereas, The Arkansas supreme court, in decision, has decided that the appropriation of $40,0OO for the Arkansas exhibit at the Panama Pa clfic exposition, passed by the 1915 legislature, is null and void and with out effect; and,
 Whereas, The commission, assisted by the governor, has advanced the work at San Francisco to a stage that has attracted the favorable attention of the people of the entire nation to Arkansas; and,
 Whereas, To discontinue that great undertaking now would proye a dis grace to the state and would make q dark spot on it's history and a blot up- on its good name and naturally affect It's future progress and development: therefore, be it
 Resolved, That the governor of the state is hereby earnestly urged and requested to call a special session of the legislature at once for the purpose of considering the passage of an ap preparation to provide the Arkansas commission of the Panama-Paciic ex- position with sufficient funds to prop erly exhibit the resources of Arkansas at the exposition; and be it further
 Resolved, That in the event the governor fails to comply with the prayer contained in this resolution, that further efforts of the commission to provide the exhibit be abandoned. which will invite due criticism of those who have so industriously sought to establish the reputation for Arkan- sas of shame and derision."
 The resolution was passed just be- fore the meeting adjourned, at late hour. Governor Hays had been pres ent earlier in the evening, but de- parted before the resolution was adopted He spoke to the meeting briefly, outlining the work of the com mission and adding that he regretted the unfavorable advertising the state has received because of its alleged de- pleted financial condition, which he said, had been greatly magnifed.

Condray an- nounced today that he will deliver ad- dresses at Saltillo and Chadwick next week for the purpose of explaining the provisions of the new road law which bears his name.

Condray will speak Fri day, March 26, at Saltillo at p. m., and at Chadwick at p. m.
 pr. Snoddy, who is here today at tending the county medical society meeting, states that while at present a majority is apparently against the Condray law in his section of the county, he believes when the act is fully understood large majority will favor it.

WINS VOTES FOR
 GOOD ROAD BILL CONDRAY BEGINSl TRIP HE IS SAID TO HAVE MADE FRIENDS FOR MEASURE
 WEDNESDAY.

Many votes for the Condray good road bill were won by the author of the measure in the first of series of speeches to be delivered by him, at Beryl and Vilonia Wednesday, accord ing to those who heard the addresses. Mir. Condray made a clear explana- tion of the provisions of the measure and contradicted many misrepresenta- tions which have been circulated con corning it. He also paid his respects to several of the so-called politicians, whom he charged with opposing the law merely because they thought it would be popular to do so.
 A crowd of at least 15O voters heard MT. Condray at Vilonia and smaller crowd of about 50 were present at the Beryl appointment.
 Former Circuit Clerk J. H. Hartie, who accompanied Mr. Condray yes terday, said the addresses unquestion- ably wrought great change in senti- ment toward the bill and it appeared that nearly everyone who heard the speaker went away convinced that it would be a good law. Many of the voters declared that the bill had been misrepresented to them and when they understood it's provisions they decided to give it their support.
 MT. Condray left this morning to continue the campaign and will speak at several other places in the county this and next week.

be done at a small expense and might
be the means of saving the town
thousands of dollars.
The careless practice of piling
ashes against a wooden building or
storing them in barrels in the cellar
is known to have caused many fires.
Chimneys not cleaned or looked after
are other sources of danger, espec-

much wood is used for fuel.
So let us take step in the right
direction and try to correct these
faults and bring the danger of a

Members of the local fire company
were held in readiness for some
time to go to Stratford, but word
was received that they had succeeded

The burned structure was built in
1869 and was remodeled in 1905. 1t

to have started from some defect in
