GRAND Jury REPORT.

st. Joseph, La, October 18th, 1917.
To the Hon'l. N. M. Calhoun, Judge
of the Tenth District Court in and
for this Parish and State:
We, your Grand Jury, appointed for
the present term of this Court, beg
leave to file this our final report:
We have examined all matters
brought to our attention, and have
found bills of indictment where the
evidence justified.
We have examined the public build
ings and find them in good order and
well kept, except for few necessary
repairs.
We are gratified to know that there
has been very little crime in our
parish Of any nature. A certain case,
wherein a charge of incest has been
made, has come to our knowledge,
and while we found not sufficient evil
dence to warrant true bill, we urge
that this party be placed in some re-.
treat for prostitute women by the
proper authority, and il necessary at
the expense Of the Parish.
II was reported to us that there had
been some violations of the Sunday
law In portions of the Parish, and
while our Investigations failed to dis
close sufficient evidence for an indict
ment, we ask that the Sheriff and
the several Constables throughout the
Parish will give their attention to
such violations, calling particular at
tention to closing at IL o'clock Satur-
day night, and will report the same
at the next meeting Of the Grand
Jury. @
Having finished our labors we re-
spectfully ask that we be discharged.
Respectfully submitted,
DWIGHT STONE, Foreman.

does critical of and calculated to en-
barrass the Red Cross" The Red Cross
has no secrets. It Is making sincere
effort to serve mankind and is doing
1t as carefully and economically as it
knows how"
Mr.. Carroll said the accounts of the
American Red Gross are to be audited
by the War Department and the ut
most effort is being made to give pub
licity to all activities.
The reputation and standing of the
American Red Cross is in the hands
OF the officers of the different Chap
ters over the country" said the man.
ager Of the Gulf Division, "and nat
urally we look to them to protect the
name and interest of the organiza-
ton. Rumors are being industriously
circulated as part of certain anti-pa
triotic propaganda. Many of the stories
circulated are utterly unwarranted and
en,anate simultaneously from too many
different parts of the United States to
be merely accidental. We are asking
the Red Cross chapters over the coun-
try to notify central or divisional head
quarters whenever the officers or
members hear attacks on the Red
Gross"
The Red Cross, Mr., Carroll explains,
Is actively engaged in relieving suf-
fering in Europe and is also taking
care of many families of soldiers who
are being prepared for battle at the
European front. Thousands Of women
throughout the Gulf Division-and
this condition exists over the entire
couptry-are daily engaged in the
preparation Of hospital garments, sur
gical supplies, knitted articles and the
like, all for distribution among the
American soldiers. ''Thus you will
see," said Mr.. Carroll, "the Red Cross
is engaged in q great humanitarian
cause and should have the hearty,
sincere support and backing of every
true American.
