wandered to the lateral and been
checked by the water. Crouched
beside the water. he was rubbing
his eyes with a handkerchief and

THE SEWERAGE.

1t will be noted III another col
umn that the Sewerage Hoar'
which is composed Of McS>rs. Ed
ward l.. EStor1c. Jules Ercy fuS
Lazard King. ChaS. l.. Proves
and Charles Guugllonhcim hay,
already taken steps 10 dispose .
the Ninety Thot sand Dollar bond,
to be issued for the installation
IN New Iberia OF u modern sew
cragc system that Will meet tn,
needs Of our City for many years
to come. rs soon as these bonds
are disposed Of, the nest STEP
will be awarding Of the contract
for the erection Of the Plant. The
call for the sealed bids is for the
18th Of the present month and
they will be opened at the office
OF the Secretary, Mr.. Provost.
We understand several Of the
members Of the Board feel in
clincd to employ constructing
engineer and do the work under
their own supervision. rather than
to give the work ont under con
tract as a tremendous saving will
be effected thereby. On Thurs
day we interviewed MAYOR Scaly,
who. while he is no, member Of
the Board. is also lending his best
efforts to help the members TO OBJ
tain the desired results. and he
stated to us that he finds the
sentiment among the business men
almost unanimous that the work
should be done under the super
vision of the board and not by
contract. The fact that the Board
has already employed an cnyi-
nccr to make the specifications
and to see that they are carried
out. would. we believe, be Of great
assistance if a constructing en-
gInccr did the work. instead of Il
regular contractor II the con-
tract is given out to some large
concern they VIII certainly figure
on making no less than Twelve.
and may be, Fifteen Thousand
Dollars profit. This amount
could probably he saved if the
Board carries out plan Of this
Kind. BE as it may. the members
Of the Sewerage Board are all
gentlemen that have the interest
VI New Iberia ut heart. and what
yer conclusions they arrive at
will undoubtedly meet the full
approval Of the tax paying citi-
ems. If this work is done under
he supervision Of the Board
.rcat many more of our local pco-
DE will also be afforded employ
ncnt. and that NAV be another
'OOd reason why this matter
hould be given consideration.

COL. PLEASANT IN NEW
IBERIA TO-DAY.

Col. Ruf1in G. Pleasant. tn,
Democratic candidate for the ex-
allied position Of Governor Of
Louisiana. arrived here this morn
ing to spend the entire day in our
little City getting acquainted
with our people. lie was chap
eroncd by Hon. Leon L",naire
and others. who introduced him
to those of our citizens that it
was possible to meet during his
short stay. Mr.. Pleasant and
about a hundred or more Dem
ocrats from New Iberia will take
the Trolley tonight to visit .Deanc-
rctte where a mass meeting Will
be held at the Savoy Opera House
at 30 O'Clock l.. NJ. Among
the speakers announced to add
dress the Democrats of our sister
town are. besides Col. Pleasant,
Fix -Govcrnor Sanders, Judge a.
v. Coco and Hon. Ventress }.
Smith of this City. From what
we learn the Southwestern Trac-
ton Company will afford many
Of our people the opportunity of
making the trip to jcanerctte by
putting on the low round trip
rate of l5c and a large number
express d desire to take advant-
age Of the reduced rate. The
meeting promises to be very in
teresting and the issues of the
campaign will be discussed. At
some future time the Democrats
of New Iberia will probably hold
a big mass meeting here 1t is
conceded daily among the people
of New Iberia that Mr.. Pleasant is
rapidly gaining votes in Iberia
Parish and it would not surprise
us any to see him carry this Par
ish on the 18th day Of next month
despite the claims Of the Parker
advocates that they have every
thing their way. The voters are
fast realizing that in order to
have certain reforms enacted into
law. that it can only be accomp-
llshcd by clcctins man whose
views will be in accord with the
Legislature. which will be Dem
ocratlc. and no good can ac-
crUc by the election of one who
will have no influence with the
members Of the Body. The Dem
ocratic platform with man of the
temperament Of Col. Pleasant as
our next Governor. guiding the
ship Of State. will give the peo-
pie good business administra-
ton and all this rubbish about /
bossism has fallen fat with the
voters Of Louisiana. Mr.. Parker
will not poll near as many votes
through the State as Mr.. Barrett
did in the Democratic primary,
despite the claims Of the Times
Picayune Of New Orleans. who do
their best to misled the people by
injecting personalities into the
campaign where it has no bust
ness.

Pneumatic Tire and
Tube Contract Let

The contract for pneumatic tires
and tubes for use on cars of the State
Highway Department for the coming
year was awarded to-day to Burns
Brothers, of Harrisburg, at their bid
for furnishing Federal tires and tubes.
The Department has been using
Federal tires during the last year and,
as they have given satisfaction and
as local dealers submitted the bid,
thus facilitating the furnishing of
supplies and the handling of adjust
ments in a convenient manner and
with the guaranteed mileage taken
into consideration, it was considered
best to award the contract to them
as they have given satisfaction and
received from the Rutherford Rubber
Company, of Rutherford, n. Y, on
Sterling tires and tubes; Dives, Pome-
roy and Stewart. of Harrisburg, on
Firestone tires and tubes; the Repub-
lie Rubber Company of Philadelphia,
on Republic tires and tubes and Geo.
w. Myers, of Harrisburg, on United
States tires and tubes and Pennsyl-
vania Vacuum tires and tubes. The
bid of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber
Company, of Akron, Ohio, was re-
jected because they declined to give
any guarantee of mileage.

DENIES
MERGER RUMORS
Says Stories Are All Bunk;
Willing to Take in
Harrisburg

Reading, Pa, May 25.-Al. w. Law
son, president of the Reading Atlantic
League baseball club. put an abrupt
end to his stay in New York on hear
ing of the story that the two rival
leagues were to consolidate by imme-
diately rushing to this city to inform
the public that the rumor was abso-
lutely false and he branded it as "all
bunk"
He had intended remaining in New
York until late to-day, but the story of
alleged consolidation caused him to
hurry home on Tuesday evening. He
said the Atlantic League has never
considered such a thing and never
will.
Continuing, he stated: why should
we consolidate with a league that is
about to disband? 1t would mean that
we would have to saddle all the debts
contracted by the other fellows
Atlantic League Money Maker
Every club on our circuit is maxi
ing money and there isn't a manager
in our league who would agree to COM
binc with the other league. The other
league is about to disband. There will
be no consolidation as long as | am at
the head of the local club. / am per-
fectly satisfied with the attendance at
the games here. We have played to
paying crowds every game at home
and we will draw even better when the
weather is more settled
Mr.. Lawson is in favor of admitting
Harrisburg. Lancaster or York to the
Atlantic League circuit providing they
can show strong financial backing. In
case the State League disbands, Mr..
Lawson will go after several of the
players of the rival organization, nut
will not touch them as long as the
league continues.

change of methods in expanding from
a state of peace to a state of war.
AnalyZe what preparing for war
means. AS yet there are no ade-
quate plans of campaign, no traiaed
personnel to man even the ships we
have, and no adequate organization
for increasing the personnel in time to
be Of use during war suddenly de-
clared, no reserve to supply the vast
age of war. Adequate provision for
supplies, munitions of war and their
transport is yet wanting. There are
many navy yards which are useless,
but no naval bases of any real use to
the fleet (none in the Pacific) in time
of war. And the fleet, deficient in
capital ships and auXiliaries, is insult
ficiently trained in war exercises and
it has no system of fleet battle tactics
for combined operations. Though
efforts have been made, the organiza-
ton for mobilization in listing auXil-
iaries is still in being.
With these deficiencies, we cannot
call the navy prepared for war.-Hen-
ry Reuerdahl in the June Metropoli-
tan.

WELLYS Is CORNER

New York State League gossip has
been received in Harrisburg. The
stories look plausible. Those men
toned as a part of the deal refuse to
talk. Fans would like to see fast base
ball. According to reports the Penn
Sylvania State League will have to he
disposed of satisfactorily, all bills
paid. and sufficient backing furnished
to assure success for Glass b. baseball.
Perhaps the reason for Secretary
Farrell withholding his action on pro-
tections for the PENNSYLVANIA State
League may be due to the fact that
there is some foundation for the talk
about transferring the Albany team to
Harrisburg. Whatever happens, Leo
Groom wants ii understood that he
has not changed his opinion about
the State organization.
Hiram McGowan SINNERS president
of the Enola Shop League team is
lining up a fast travelling organiza-
ton. Star players from the four
league teams will be picked and sent
on the road. lie is ready to arrange
for games in and out of the city, and
would like to have two games for
Decoration Day. He can be reached
at Enola or 100 North Third street
AL Lawson denies the merger stories
but adds that he is willing to take in
Harrisburg, Lancaster and York. He
also makes a statement that in the
event of the State League disbanding
he will go after the best players in
the Pennsylvania organization. Con-
sidering that the Atlantic League sal
airy limit is 81, 900 per month. Law
son may find it difficult to sign up star
players.
Starting June 1, and continuing
every Tuesday and Thursday the West

Local owners admit that both Har-
