The bed room Of Mr.. N.
SaA'kies, a Syrian merchant in the
back portion of New Iberia was
robbed last Saturday by a negro
in keen and well planned man
ner. The negro knew it would
be necessary on the pant of the
merchant to give him access to
the room. were he to try on a
new suit Of clothes which is OH
sale there. When he was left in
the room his cOnfederates entered
the establishment and began TO
price different articles in order
to give him time to search the bed
room. This was done with the
negro being richer by $500
after which he came out and left
with the others stating the
clothes did not fit. When Mr..
Sarkies went back to the bed
room he was minus the money
and the culprit gone. Giving
full description of the man to
Officer Dominique he proceeded to
run him down and the next day
he was fully rewarded, finding
the negro about to board the
train for other points. He is now
Dehind the bars to await trial.

Statistical crop reporter,
Judge j. A. Babin reports that
there was raised in this Parish
during the year 1914, six hundred
and nine bales of cotton. In Yer
million Parish the number ginned
reached approximately 1902 des-
pite the boil weevil. The sad fea-
ture confronting our cotton grow
ers is the fact that there is still
NO market for the product and it
is not likely there will be much
market until after the European
War.

PEACEFULLY SLIPPING.
Of all sad words of tongue
The sadest of these are:


s. 1t might have been"
About five months ago the
'kind-hearted folks Of iberia Par
ish were deeply concerned re-
garding a startling tragedy in
household in Jeanerette, the old
old story of a good woman mar
rying (for her second husband)
a man who drank heavily. 1t is
like putting can of gasoline, or
a keg of dynamite upon glow
ing hearth to keep the house
warm and comfortable.
After eight years Of hard work
to make living and harder work
to, dodge the cruel blows and
kicks of a drunken husband, the
bitter hour came, when in a
struggle to save her life the pistol
in the various twisting and turn
ing shot the man and the bruised
and battered woman was left to
the mercy of any number of men
instead of one. The judge and the
jury, the lawyers and the crowd
Of curious lockers on, all men.
Because of this, some of the best
women from Jeanerette came to
New Iberia and appealed to the
philanthropic women of our City,
to, stand by a woman in such a
pitiful plight, they knew her well
and told the story as it was told
to me. So she did not lack kind
ness and attention, but any one
could see that her mind naturally
bright, was dazed and almost I'M
balanced else she would have
shown her poor crushed and
bruised arm from the struggle
for her life, which would have
moved a heart of stone. When
she went to Angora farm, it was
with the strong hope of being
soon pardoned, but when on
Christmas morn she learned that
six men were pardoned, while
she feeling that she was innocent
of any intention to commit the
crime for which she was incar-
cerated, was ignored, quick as a
flash decided to carry her case to
the Supreme Judge of the Uni
verse, who seeing the inermost
recesses of her heart would surely
grant her pardon and peace. Mrs.
Bohannan was temporarily buried
on the farm, but hqr next of kin,
lovingly and tenderly took the
body to the family burying
ground near Baton Rouge and
laid her beside her mother and
father.
"Now the labourer 8 task is Ger;
Now the battle day is past,
Now upon the farther shore
Lands the voyager at last,
Father, in thy gracious keeping
Leave we now thy servant sleep
ing.
There no more the powers of hell
Can prevail to mar their peace.
Christ the Lord shall guard them
well
He who died for their release
Father in thy gracious keep'sg,
Leave we now thy servant sleep
ing.

Fake Oath Of Knights Of Columbus
Condemned.

That the Knights of Columbus is not |
an oath.bound organization, that its
ceremonials teach high and noble pa
triotism and that the alleged knights |
of Columbus oath is "scurrilous, wicked
and libelous" are the conclusions un-
animously reached by committee OF |
Los Angeles, Cal, Masons after care;
full examination OF the ceremonial and
pledges used by the Order. The report
of the committee is as follows:
eve hereby certify that by authority
of the highest officer of the knights OF
Columbus in the State of California,
who acted under instructions from the
Supreme Officer of the Order In the
United States, we were furnished
complete copy of all the work, cere-
monies and pledges used by the Order,
and that we carefully read, discussed
and examined the same. We found
that while the Order is in a sense a
secret association, it is not an oatn
bound organization and that its cere-
monies are comprised in four degrees,
which are intended to teach and incul-
cate principles that lie at the founda-
ton of every great religion and every
free State.
"Our examination of these cere-
monials and obligations was made
primarily for the purpose Of ascertain
ING whether or not a certain alleged
oath by the Knights of Columbus,
which has been printed and widely cir
culated, was in fact used by the Order
and whether, if it was not used, any
oath. obligation or pledge was used
which was or would be offensive to
Protestants or Masons, or those who
are engaged in circulating document
of peculiar viciousness and wickedness.
1--WE find that neither the alleged
| oath or any oath or pledge bearing the
remotest resemblance thereto IN mat
ter, manner, spirit or purpose is used
or forms a part of the ceremonies of
anv degree of the Knights of Column
bus. The alleged oath is scurrilous,
wicked and libelous and must be the
invention of an impious and yenomous
mind.
ave find that the Order of the
Knights of Columbus, as shown by its
rituals, is dedicated to the Catholic
religion, charity and patriotism. There
is no propaganda proposed or taught
against PrOtestants or Masons or per-
sons not of Catholic Faith. Indeed
Protestants and Masons are not referr-
ed to directly or indirectly in the cere-
monials and pledges
"The ceremonial of the Order teaches
a high and noble patriotism, instills
love of country, inculcates reverence
for law and order, urges the conscien::
tious and unselfish performance OF
civic duty and holds up the Constitu,,
ton of our country as the richest and
most PRECIOUS possession of a Knight
of the Order. We can find nothing in
the entire ceremonials of the Order
that to our minds could be objected to
by any person.

Daming Cane River.

Quite a large and interested
number Of citizens met at the
Court House on Wednesday even
ing to meet Major Slattery of the
U. S. Engineering Department
who with Congressman Aswell
had been making q tour of the
towns along Red River to see what
could be done to restore naviga-
ton in that river.
The Major explained that in
event of the proposed improve
ment, the first thing that the
government would do would be to
dam Cane River at its source as
the policy of the government was
only to do what would be most
beneficial and would not allow
work of any character that would
not be so. He urged that he be
questioned by any one present II
anv point was not perfectly clear,
as he understood that it was be-
lieyed by some that this daming
Cane River would be damaging to
certain sections OF Red River, and
his answers were so clear and con-
vinc;pg that a number of the
strongest opponents were satisfied
that it would be to the best ln-
terests of the whole parish for
Cane River to be damned.
The waterways of the South are
a matter of general discussion at
present throughout the country,
and it is a matter of CONSTANT
wonder how her people could have
allowed such great decay in naviga-
ton. Their restoration is impera-
tive as means of competition to
regulate the rates of railroads, al
whose mercy we are, to say nothing
of the mine of marine wealth
that we have at our door, and
we feel sure that our people have
looked into the matter now with
understanding and will be as 8
unit in their endeavor to open III
the great possibilities therefrom.
