DON'T WALK
ON THE GRASS
Now Is Time When Young Shoots
Are Springing up and Pedes-
TRANS Should Not
Cut Corners.

AT this time of year, when the grass
is just starting to sprout through the
ground, the local police department
is receiving many complaints relative
to the practice of many of the resi-
dents of the city of walking across
the lawns and parkings. This habit
is very deplorable one as it stops
the growth Of grass and does much to
mar the appearance Of the residence

for offender is subject to immediate
arrest and fine, as there is an ordin.
ance on the city books prohibiting
bicycle riding on the sidewalks.
Keokull in the past has been a city
of we'll kept lawns and the pedestrians
should have sufficient pride in the ap
pearance of the city to keep off the

anti : GERMAN MOB
IN BUENOS AIRES
WRECKS HOUSES
Every German Business Place
Is Damaged

Buenos Aires, Sept. 13.-The riot
ing which began here late yesterday
in the anti-German demonstration
continued throughout the night.
Every German business house and
restaurant in the downtown district
was wrecked. The German Club
and several other buildings were
damaged seriously by fire. The po-
lice wounded seven rioters seriously
when they fired into the crowd.
Three of the injured are expected to
die.
Thousands of persons congregated
tonight along the Avenidas Mayo and
Florida in an attempt to organize an
other anti-German demonstration and
to demand rupture of relations
with Germany. Acting under the or
ders of President Irigoyen, however,
squads of mounted police were sent
out to maintain order. The fire.
quently charged crowds that en-
deavored to assemble, using their
sabers freely. Many citizens were
injured and number of policemen
also received hurts.

NAVAL RECRUITS ARE NOW BE-
INC SENT DIRECT TO TRAIN
ING STATIONS

New Orleans, Sept 14-The an
nouncement was made today by
Commander L. J. Clark, Navy Re-
cruiting Officer here, that beginning
September 18th, as soon as man
enlists in the Navy he will be sent to
one of the naval training stations or
receiving ships.
Following the declaration of war
enlistments in the Navy were so great
that the training stations and re-
ceiving ships were soon overcrowded
and it was necessary for the Depart
ment to return recruits to their homes
until they could be accommodated at
the stations. All of the stations
have since been enlarged, new train
ing camps have ben established and
most Of the men have been in train
ing have been sent to sea, thus max
ing it possible now to send recruits

direct to the stations as soon as they
enlist.
Commander Clark stated that the
Navy is still in need Of recruits and
was enlisting apprentice seamen and
that there were excellent opportuni-
ties at the present time for men with
skilled trades such as machinists,
firemen, bakers, cooks and walters.
The Navy will not enlist a man
who has been notified to appear be-
fore a local board for physical ex-
animation but will enlist all others
between the ages of 18 and IS.
The recruiting officer is working
on plans to carry out an educational
campaign to impress upon the people
of Louisiana that the Navy is a

perpetual pleasure to thrifty popu-
lation. Berwick Bay and its tribu-
tarles has effectually barred all ad-
vancement toward the West, North
and South, and the only outlet for
Greater Morgan City is toward the
East.
The new enterprise is composed
of many Morgan City's most pro-
gressive citizens, and the character
and personel Of the officers and
board chosen indicate that the ven
ture will be carried to it's logical con-
clusion, which will mean a "bone-
dry" Morgan City, in so far as water
under feet on Tiger Island is con-
cerned.
The new company was organized
under the laws Of this State, with
an authorized capital stock Of s75,-
10000, and with more than half paid
in at the initial organization. While
many of the City's wealthiest men
are numbered among the stockhold-
ers, it is proposed to invite a further
limited amount Of stock subscription
to persons interested in the develop
ment of this city, in order that the
work to be accomplished by this or
ganization may be of more than gen.
eral interest to large number; and
may truly be called the Morgan City
Company.
It has been demonstrated beyond
cavil that perfect reclamation may
be easily and permanently effected
with comparatively small acreage
burden, which will mean that the
thousands Of acres of land back Of
Morgan City, which, from time out
Of memory, have been one "impene-
trable swamp" annually covered with
high tide water, may be within a
very few months converted into fer
tile fields and beautiful home-sites.
The practical and positive success of
the reclamation Of 10000 fertile
acres on Avoca Island has paved the
way for greater things for Morgan
City, ,and has demonstrated that
Tiger Island may be likewise con-
verted. Then, the Mississippi may
roar and drouths may prevail, but

REVOLT SMASHED:
GEN. K0RNILOFF
HUNTING COVER
Kerensky Restores Discipline
To Army

Petrograd, Sept 13.-General
korniloff's rebellion against Premier
kerensky apparently has been quell-
ed, like other attempts that have been
made to overthrow the provisional
government in Russia
Official reports from Petrograd
say that Korniloff's headquarters has
surrendered and that Korniloff him
self has conditionally agreed to place
himself in the hands of the authori-
ties. The government, however,
is demanding his abject capitulation.
Meanwhile troops that had answer
ed the call of revolt issued by Kor-
niloff continue to desert his ranks
and return to the government fold,
declaring that they were misled by
Korniloff's professed aims.
Kerensky has been confirmed by
the cabinet as chief of
the army and will have with him as
chief of staff in his prosecution of
the war against the Teutonic allies
General Alexieff, former command
er-in-chief and one of the most bril-
liant officers in the Russian army.
Added strength is also expected to
be given Kerensky's rule by the ap-
pointment of new military officials
for the district and city of. Petro-
grad.

In harmony with the spirit Of the
times. a new Epoch in the industrial
development of this city was begun

Company became going concern
nth a score or more of prominent
heal financiers and citizens back of

will assist in laying the foundation
for q future and Greater Morgan

Following activities by the Presi-
dent, Mr.. A. F. Storm, extending
over a period of 3 or 4 years, the
recently organized corporation an
nounces the acquisition Of approx
mately 1000 acres Of land, located
immediately around Morgan City
and extending from the West end of
Tiger Island, almost to Bayou Boeuf,
embracing all of Tiger Island, bound
ed by Lake Palourde, much of the
holdings being now wooded lands,
and subject to tidal overflows. The
object Of the gentlemen who have
organised themselves into a legal
corporation is to reclaim this prop
2ty, giving an outlet to the most
Mpidy growing town in South Louis

CAMP CON-
TRACT IS TAKEN
FROM BIG FIRM
Award to Janse Bros. and
Boomer, Grain and Howe
Cancelled.

Business men of New Orleans were
surprised to learn Thursday night
through a telegram from Lake
Charles to the Times-Picayune that
the contract for the construction of
the army aviation camp at that place.
which had been awarded to Janse
Bros. and Boomer, Grain & Howe,
had been cancelled and reissued to
Mason & Hanger of Richmond, Va,
and Richmond, Ky. The contract
calls for the expenditure of S2,OOO,-
600 by the government and the fact
that it was taken away from a New
Orleans firm caused much unfavor
able comment.
| Disagreement between the govern
ment and the contractors over a
suggested co-contractor was given as
the reason for the cancellation of the
contract. In a statement to The
, Times-Picayune Thursday night A.
M. Grain of Boomer, Grain & Howe,
said:
One of the financial hackers of
the firms of Janse Bros. and Boomer,
Grain & Howe opposed the contract
for personal reasons after our bid
had been accepted and the contract
awarded. We got the backing of two
Western capitalists, Mr.. Wickham of
! Omaha and Mr.. Sims of Minneapo-
lis. We forwarded our bond under
the firm name of Janse Bros, Wick
ham & Sims and prepared to begin
work on the construction as soon as
the bond was approved. The bond
we filed in the second instance was
much stronger than the first one
which was accepted by the govern
ment. We had all arrangements
made to start work at once when we
received information that our con-
tract had been cancelled and re-
awarded to Mason & Hanger.
"The blow, naturally, will be felt
keenly in New Orleans, where we OBJ
tain all of our equipment and nearly
all of our labor. l cannot under
stand the attitude of the govern
ment. The reason behind the ac-
ton in abrogating the contract is a
mystery none of US has been able
to fathom.'
Notification of the cancellation of
the contract was received by the firm
a few days ago, but the fact did not
become known until the New Or
leans contractors had removed what
equipment had been sent to Lake
Charles and their representatives
had gone sway.

The telegram received from Lake
Charles said that three army engi-
neers arrived there Thursday to sup

camp and the regular army officers
were expected to arrive from Texas
Thursday night. The new contrac-
tors, however, have not arrived.
