roll contains two hundred thousand
dollars (the amount of money received
by the saloons of your town from your

To Be Notable Event.

Plans have been completed for the
celebration of St. Johns day next
Sunday under the auspices of AS
cension Lodge, r. and A. NJ, and the
scale on which the arrangements have
been made indicates that the event
will be one of the most notable and
elaborate in the annals not only of
the local lodge, but of the Masonic
fraternity throughout this district.
The public exercises in the afternoon,
at the high school auditorium, will be
o feature of unusual interest, and the
banquet in the evening at the Hotel

GREAT RUSSIAN OF
FENSIVE.

The foremost feature of the Euro
pean war news during the past ten
days has been the account of the
great offensive drive of the Russians
against the Austrians in Galicia and
Bukowina.
The victorious armies of the car
have advanced to Czernowitz, the
capital of Bukowina, and yesterdays
press dispatches reported the eapitu-
iatIon of that stronghold
1t is stated that 1850 officers, 12O.-
600 soldiers, $50 cannon and $50 ma
chine guns have been captured by the
Russians since the present forward
movement began.
The Germans are still maintaining
their terrible offensive at Verdun, and
have made additional slight gains. Sc
we're fighting is going on at number
of other points in the extensive war
theatre. and no indications of a ces-
sation Of the horrible conflict are visi-
bic in any quarter.

FAILS TO ORGANIZE.
Deadlock in New Police Jury Prevents
Election of Officers.

A meeting of the new police jury of
Ascension parish was held at the
courthouse at noon Friday, supposed
ly for the purpose of organizing, but
due to the fact that the body is divid
ed into two factions of equal strength
nothing was done toward the election
of a president and other officers.
The personnel of the jury is as fol-
lows: George B. Reuss, first ward,
Joseph ]. Falcon, second ward; Jas
min Tobias, third ward; c. H. Lam
dry, ST., fourth ward; L. W. Armi-
tage, fifth ward; Leon Newman, sixth
ward German Nargassans, seventh
ward; Ben. L. Cambre, eighth ward.
Messrs. Reuss, Landry, Armitage and
Newman served on the outgoing jury.
The members of the incoming body
having qualified by taking the oath of
office, and all being present, they
proceeded to sit as board of review
of the assessment rolls Of the parish.
No president having been elected,
Clerk of Court j. s. sBarman acted in
TIL sifzt psl1 5rclt e.. n. ffsugn question
ed the legality Of this proceeding,
admitting the authority of the clerk
Of court under the law to merely con-
gene the jury in the event of a va
cancy in the office of president, but
denying him the right to sit in place
of that officer. After a discussion Of
this point between Mr.. Pugh, c. C.
Weber, and members Of the jury, it
was decided to adjourn the meeting
until date when District Attorney
Gilbert, who is the legal adviser of
the jury, could be present and give
an opinion on the question.
The general understanding is that
the jury is divided into two factions,
one consisting of Jurors Newman, To-
bias, Landry and Falcon, and the
other Of Jurors Armitage, Reuss, Mar
gassans and Cambre Each faction
has candidate for president of the
jury in the persons of Messrs. New
man and Armitage, respectively, and
a candidate for parish treasurer A
this condition of affairs is likely to
continue for an indefinite period, or
at any rate until action is taken by
the legislature on the bill introduced
Thursday by Representative Morgan
of this parish, providing for an ad
ditional police juror. in both the
seventh and eighth wards of Ascen-
sion. 1t is said that the anti-admin-
istration, or Armitage, faction are
counting upon the passage of this
bill to give them control of the jury,
since they are in position to dictate
the selection of the two additional
members, appointment of whom is
delegated to the governor in the Nor
gan measure.
Another office for which fight is
in prospect is that of health officer of
the parish, there being two candi-
dates in the field: DR. Paul r. Thib-
odaux, of Donaldsonville, the incum-
bent, and DR.. George B. LeSeuer, of
Gonzales. Dir. Thibodaux is said to
have the support of the administra-
tionists, while DIR. LeSeuer's candi-
dacy is alleged to be espoused by the
opposing faction.
The outcome of the squabble will
be awaited with a great deal of in
terest, and doubtless not little con-
Germ by those most vitality involved.

salar;e. of Parish Officers Fixed.

The net revenues of the sherln
and clerk of court of Ascension par
ish for the year 1915, as sworn to by
these officers in statements furnished
to the supervisor of public accounts
responsive to a concurrent resolution
of the legislature, were $5760.41 in
the case of the sheriff, and $2522.23
in the case of the clerk of court. AS
SCISSOR King did not submit state
ment Of the receipts and disburse-
ments of his office. Bills now before
the legislature fix the salary of the
sheriff of this parish at $4,000 per
year, with an allowance of $4,000 for
expenses, and that of the assessor at
$4,000 per annum, with an expense al
lowance of $3.50.

THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL
CONVENTION,

All is plain and harmonious sailing
in the national councils of the Demo-
cratic party at st. Louis this week,
and there is little doubt that before
this issue of The Chief reaches its 10
cal readers Woodrow Wilson of New
jersey and Thos. r. Marshall OF lndi-
ana will have been renominated for
president and vice president on
platform in which "Americanism and
peace, preparedness and prosperity
will be the leading shibboleth, and the
Democratic national convention OF
1916 will have passed into history.
The convention opened shortly at
ter noon on Wednesday with an au--
dience Of nearly 10000 delegates and
spectators facing National Commit
tee Chairman w. F. McCombs when
he called for order and made brief
but stirring opening speech, starting
a wave of enthusiasm that grew IN
volume and eliminated in a rousing
demonstration w h N Temporary
Chairman Martin Glynn of New York
delivered an address which has been
likened in it's eloquence and effect to
Mr.. Bryan's famous Grown of
thorns and cross of gold" speech at
the Chicago convention in 1896. One
of the most striking of the speakers
many forceful declarations was the
statement that The presidents
neutrality policy satisfies the voters
of the land" and that ''the men Of
America will fight and die for our
flag when reason primes the rifle,
when honor draws the sword and
when justice breathes blessing on
the cause that they uphold. "
Senator Ollie James of Kentucky.
was chosen permanent chairman of
the convention, and he too enthused
the delegates and the onlookers with
a timely and forcible speech.
Delegate John W. Lewis of ST. Lam
dry was made chairman of the Louis
lana delegation and Senator Jos. E.
Ransdell of East Carroll served as
the Louisiana member of the platform
committee. Col. Robert Ewing of Or
leans begins a new term as national
committeeman by virtue of the unan
imous Endorsement given him for that
position by the recent Democratic
state convention.

Former Ascensionite Appointed Port
Official.

Baton Rouge was recently made a
port of entry by the United States
government, and Louis q. Babin,
formerly of this parish, and now a
leading citizen of the state capital, is
slated to fill the joint position of
deputy collector of customs, deputy
shipping commissioner and inspector.
Under the new arrangement it will
not oe nes ~ FOR ships to stop at
New Orleans on the way to or from
Baton Rouge. Since each ship takes
on a large amount Of supplies, Baton
Rouge merchants are of the opinion
that much additional business will
accrue to them as result of having
their port entirely independent of
that of New Orleans. AS matters
stand all vessels must stop at the
Crescent City, where most of the
supplies are purchased. incidentally
the crews ashore spend money, and
Baton Rouge has designs on this as
we'll.

ANOTHER STEP NEARER GOAL.
Bill Bearing ON Bayou Lafourche
Lock Favorably Reported.

The bill introduced in the house by
Representative Picard to amend and
re-enact section two of Act No. 8 of
ton of locks at the head of Bayou
Lafourche, received favorable re-
port on Thursday from the commit
tee on levees of the house, of which
Representative Leopold is chairman,
The proposed bill amends the pres
emit law by authorizing the levee
boards to issue either notes or
bonds in such sums and de-
nominations as the boards may
prescribe, said notes or bonds to
become due at such dates as may be
fixed by the boards, not to exceed
twenty years from the date of their
issue. Under the present law the
levee boards are authorized only to
issue notes, and these in denomina-
tons of not less than $40, land one
note must mature each year, thus
making it necessary for the boards
to meet an Indebtedness of as much
as $4,000 each year. Under the
amended bill the amount to be taken
care of annually by the boards can
be made much less, and the elimina-
ton of the feature requiring the
notes to be not less than 5000 will
enable the boards to finance the prop
osition much more readily.
Besides Representative Picard,
Horace Wilkinson of West Baton
Rouge, member of the committee, |
spoke in favor of the bill. President |
Lefebvre Of the Atchafalaya levee
board appeared before the commit
tee and gave the measure his en-
aorsement. As the bill is meritori-
bus from every standpoint, there is
no doubt that it will be enacted into
1w.
