FEDERAL OFFICERS
TO RETURN DIMES
SENT SKIRT FRAUD

The most transparent fraud, accord
ing to postoffice inspectors, preying
on the gullibility Of women, which the
government has revealed In years,
made its effect felt in Richmond again
today when an order was received
here from Acting Postmaster General
Rooms at Washington to hold In the
Richmond office all letters addressed
to the National Mail Order Brokerage
Exchange at Minneapolis.
These letters contain dimes which
the women sent as legal tender for one
$4.75 silk petticoat. The balance Of
payment came in persuading five
friends to send dimes, each one OF the
five other friends to do likewise. Ac-
cording to mail clerks here, the
scheme was the most successful propa-
eating fraud and the most widely talk
ed of in which the Richmond post
office has any connection.
Hundreds of Richmond women have
gotten their dimes back" said Super
intendent OF. Mails Wilson today. "The
government has detailed Is clerks in
the post office at Minneapolis to open
letters, learn the senders name and
return the money in separate en-
velopes in care of postmasters. We
expect to get some Of such letters
soon. Each will require the signature
of the person who gets the dime, but
/ believe we can handle it here with
out extra help"

RICH MAN SPREADS
FEAST FOR HUNGRY.
ONCE HUNGRY TOO

NEW YORK, Nov. 13-Twenty years
ago Max Gootschneider with his wife
and baby girl arrived in New York
penniless from Volna, Russia. He
begged help from a charitable organ
ization and was given a job as fur
dyer. In return he made a vow that
when his daughter should be married,
oil men who were hungry, as he was
then, should be fed.
The immigrant became prosperous
fur dealer and yesterday announced
the coming marriage of his daughter
to diamond merchant. He drove to
the Hebrew society's headquarters in
his limousine and explained that he
was ready to keep the vow made a
score Of years ago.
"How many immigrants have you
here now" he asked. He was told
about 200.
"Not enough" he declared. go out
into the neighborhood, I want to feast
any number up to 1000, perhaps more
if you can get them"
Nearly 1000 poor were fed at his
expense between one p. NJ and mid
night.

Furthermore, substantiate the

The old rate was fifty cents for the
first thousand cubic feet Of gas and
forty cents for each thousand feet
thereafter.
The public service commission did
not have a representative here. IL
left the defense entirely in the hands
of officials of the Light, Heat and
Power company and of the United Gas
and Electric company.
John T. Beasley, Terre Haute, attor-
ney for the United Gas and Electric
company, took the floor for the de-
tense late this morning.
Rules on Rates Alone.
He backed up Mr.. Jessup's motion
to have the court rule that Mr.. Bond
be forced to present more specific
complaint.
'Tt will be the duty of the court in
this case to find whether the new rates
are lawful or unlawful and nothing
else," said Mr.. Beasley.
Mr.. Beasley urged that since the
artificial gas plant might at any time
have to be relied upon to furnish gas
for the city in case the uncertain
natural supply should fail, it should
be included in the valuation on which
the new rates are based.

HUGE PENDERosA LEMON

Mr.. William II srgr :.ter. of
ooui.e t,foci1e, ~. N this
city during the week and
while here he exhibited a Pen
derosa lemon, which was
raised on the Ned Boagni
plantation, in Coulee Croche,
which place Mr.. Hargroder
manages. This lemon was the
largest of its kind exhibited
here, it tipping the scale to
two pounds.
From the number Of large
Penderosa lemons produced in
st. Landry during the past
year it is evident that this
country is adapted to the cul-
tivation of this excellent fruit;
there is no doubt, from express
sions heard throughout the
parish. that within the next
few years large groves Of or
ange and lemon trees will be
seen on all practically all mod
ern farms.

Darius Fontenot Who Was
Elected (Non-Factional) Is
Expected to Land by A Very
Handsome Majority

An interesting historical
piece Of the memorable fight
OF 1908 is copy Of the st.
Landry Clarion of date Feb.
!, 1908, which gives a detail
ed result of that famous po-
litical contest.
In the headlines is found
| Swords Sheriff Andrepont,
Clerk, Darius Fontenot, (Non
Factional) Assessor, Dr. &.
M. Littell, Coroner, are de-
clared the local nominees.
Mr.. Fontenot, who IS now q
successful candidate for sher.
III Of St. Landry, and who will
be elected to this high office
by an overwhelming majority,
has been charged as being q
member of the Swords-Andre-
Iont faction Of that date.
But this charas is futile, for

Mr.. Fontenot, who is 4 son
Of the late illustrious r. S. Fon-

Landry, has made ail his CAM
paigns on his merits, while
aligned with the faction that
won victory four yeas ago,
he evidentally was the strvii e.
est OF the candidates wko g.
poused the cause of that fac
LION TOUR years ago, as he led
his opponent by an over
Whelming majority Of over
five hundred votes, while the
other successful candidates
of the faction went by 81 and
90 votes respectively.
The staunch supporters Of
Mr.. Fontenot claim that he
will carry five Of the six wards
in this parish; that he will
come to Opelousas on the night
of the election with d tremen-
dous majority. His election as
sheriff of this parish is no
longer questioned, the only
debatable phase Of the cam
paign being the question of the
majority, some claiming that
he will carry the parish by
some five hundred votes ma
jority.

A drainage meeting. which
aroused the interest of the tax
payers. was held at the home
Of Judge Adolphe Guillory, at
Andrepont on last Monday
evening at one o'clock The
purpose of the meeting was
for drawing preliminary plans
for the organization of the
Bayou Grand Louis Drainage
District, which it is said will
take in some thirty thousand
acres of the most fertile lands
in st. Landry and Evangeline
parishes.
The meeting was called to
order by DR.. Ertemon Lafieur,
who proposed that J. F. Schell
should be appointed perma-
nent chairman. Mr.. Schell
thereupon made an eloquent
address to the large number Of
interested taxpayers, who had
gathered for the purpose of
ascertaining what could be OBJ
tanned for their section in the
way of proper drainage. He
pointed out that the Prairie
Ronde-Andrepont section Of
st. Landry was probably the
most fertile in the state, being
