Has Bill To save

Senator D. R. Johnson Pre-
poses Cooperative Plan
To Replace Fire and Tor
nadO Policies.

Baton Rouge, May 10.-Sena-
tor Delos h. johnson, Of Frank
linton, has bill to save the pub
lie schools S25, 200 annually in
fire and tornado insurance poll
cles by creating a fund on a CO.
operative basis.
"The bill in course of prepara-
ton which I will introduce early
next week, if enacted into law,
will save the schools of this state
not less than $4,000 per annum
and | believe it will be even more
than that,' said Mr.. Johnson.
"Reports from forty parishes in
which state institutions are Local
ted, show tha? within period of
five years past, $4,000 has been
paid out in insurance premiums
by the school boards Of these
parishes and during that time
only S., 1000 fire loss hav" been
replaced or paid in by the insu-
rance companies, Reports from
the state institutions and the
other % parishes have not yet
been received which will more
than double the amount paid out
in the entire state by the schools
for insurance, and doubtless will
correspondence increase the
receipts for fire loss.
I'm other words, we estimate
from the reports already received
that S150.000 has been paid oui
in premiums within the past five
years and not more than $4,000
or $4,000 have been returned in
! fire losses.
''We propose i'll the measure
that all school property in the

Quoting from the funds to be re

Impressive Ceremony Comes
At Close of Magnificent
Street Parade.

Baton Rouge, La, May 10
At 1917 o'clock, in the presence
of his wife, her aged mother,
Mrs. S. P. Ector of Shreveport,
with Gov. L. E. Hall and Judge
T. Sambola Jones, standing by
his side, and with Mayor Behr-
man, National Democratic Com
mitteeman Robert Ewing, JUS
tees of the Supreme Court, all
State Off Gals, both retiring and
incoming members of the House
and State and 5000 wildly en-
thusiastic citizeas Of Louisiana
grouped about him, and with
booming of II cannOnS, Rutfin
G. Pleasant became Governor of
Louisiana, the oath of office be-
ing administered by Chief JUS
tice Frank A. Monroe.
At 1919 Gov. Pleasant began
delivering his inaugural address,
standing under a beautiful arch
of ferns and fresh flowers, with
the folds of the Pelican flag fall
ing above his head.
Mrs. Luther E. Hall sat be-
side Mrs. Pleasant during the
ceremony. John Pleasant, un'
Gle, and John Hamilton, business
partner of Col. Peasants father
came from FlrmerSville to wit
ness the inauguration of the
Union parish boy to the highest
Office within the gift of the peO-
pie of his native state.
AS he concluded his address,
Mrs. Pleasant, now first lady of
the State, slipped through the
crowd of relatives and friends
seated about her, and was among
the first to reach the side of her
distinguished husband. Taking
her in his arms he kissed her af-
fectionately as the great crowd
applauded approvingly.
The administering of the oath
of Office by Chief Justice Mon
roe, who came here for that par
ticular purpose was an impress
sive ceremony.

and the weather was ideal, al
though still hot. At the sug-

charge, Baton Rougeans were
robed in white and thousands Of
others, both men and women,
wore this color.
