BLOSS IN LONG RUN

The Stevens Tech eleven walked away
with the Connecticut Agsies yesterday, 81
to 0. Consistent use of the forward pass
and plunges through the line won the
game. The tech men ran the ball over
the line for five touchdowns and scored
also on a dropklck and a safety.
There were few brilliant plays during
the game. Bloss made the only long run
OF forty-five yards for a touchdown.
other scores were made by short line
dashes following a steady advance to-
ward the goal. Ford was sent through
to make three of these and Deghuee
scored a tally on plunge of eleven
yards. Gocdale kicked goal from the
field.
Hopwood was the malnstay OF the Wis
itors, executing practically all the for
ward passes and punts. He lacked,
however, the support OF his ends on
many of the passes, which made this
form of the attack unsuccessful. Sneid-
man smeared several of Stevens's
passes.
The ball remained in the visitors ter
ritory for nearly the entire game and
at no time was the home teams goal
in danger. During the first period the
line held Stevens advances, but gave
the Scarlet two points on poorly exc
cuted pass from centre which resulted
in a safety.
In the second period Stevens advanced
from her 40 yard line to within 30 yards
of the goal on line plunges. rs yard
end run by Goodale brought the pigskin
to the Aggies 8 yard line, and on the
next play Ford took 1t over the line
through left tackle. Goodale missed the
kick

Bloss made the next tally on beau

Hon. H. E. Estorge, prominent 10
cal insurance dealer, was recently ap-
pointed the local agent for the La
fayette Fire Insurance Company, a
New Orleans organisation which
boasts of being the only Louisiana

very successful entertainment at one
of New Orleans most fashionable
eating houses.

Knights of Columbus in Louisiana,
and one of the best known insurance
dealers in the state, is president of
the Lafayette company. Mr.. Veg
mann started with the company as Of
flee boy in 1889, and by strict atten-
tion to duty and loyalty to his employ

made secretary. In this position he
developed much executive ability and
in 1909 was made president Of the
organization. Since then he has
managed the company's affairs with
unbounded success and today heads
one Of the most successful and pros
porous organizations of its kind in the
South. "John X.," as he is known
throughout the state, has hosts Of
warm personal friends in 0pelousas

WALTERS WINS
HIS FREEDOM
Second Trial of Port Barre Man
Results in AcquittaI Last
Thursday Morning

Davies Walters, charged with man
slaughter for the killing Of Marshal
Foret, at Port Barre, the early part
of the summer of 1918, was acquit-
ted by a jury in the district court
shortly after 8 o'clock Thursday
morning. The jury had been out a
little more than one hour.
Walters, it viii be remembered,
was tried and convicted at the session
Of the criminal court and was SEN
fenced to fifteen years in the state
penitentiary. His attorneys imme-
diately following the verdict Of the
local court, appealed to the supreme
court and that tribunal overturned
the trial of the lower court and re-
manded the case for second trial.
This second trial consumed two
days. District Attorney R. Lee Gar
land was assisted in the prosecution
BY Peyton R. Sandoz, while L. Austin
Fontenot and John w. Lewis defend
ed the accused.
Upon learning the favorable YER
dict Of the jury, Walters walked ur
to the jurors and gratefully thanked
them for having saved him from the
apen." He is now a free man and
expects to make 0pelousas his per
manent home.

Weather conditions were very un-
favorable, but the young people from
every section Of the parish hocked to
the dance, and despite the inclement
weather, expressed themselves as
thoroughly satisfied with the enter

JUDGE FOSTER GIVES
ORLEANS SALOONS
RIGHT TO OPEN
Eastern District of Louisiana
Has Booze" Running Like
Water Since Wednesday
PART OF LOUISIANA
is NOW WET AS EVER
Wild Revelry Witnessed in City
as Bartenders Hand Out
Old John BarleycOrn

Judge Rufus E. Foster Of the east
ern district of Louisiana, the first
Southern federal Judge to issue an
injunction against the enforcement
Of the wartime prohibition law, is to-
day the most popular man in LOuisi-
ana, among the lovers and ikers of
the old s'red liquor"
The New Orleans jurist handed
down a decision on Wednesday morn
ing in which he issued an order re-
straining the federal officers from
enforcing the liquor law, and reports
from the metropolis indicate that a
''wild rush" was Immediately made
for the newIy-opened saloons all over
the city. Bartenders, who had been
aIurking in the offing" since July i,
went back to their former jobs; a
large quantity of old "John Barley
corn" just a little ripper and better
than ever, was "fished up" from
many mysterious hiding places, and
the biIbulous chaps and otherwise
were immediately in evidence and got
into the running without any further
loss of precious time, and by the close
Of the sad (happy) autumnal day, it
is said that the old Crescent City wit
messed some few thousand "happy
drunks"-more or less.
Just how long New Orleans win re-
main wet is left to the supreme court
Of the United States to decide, and q
decision by that august tribunal is
expected on December 8, and if It
reverses the federal judges in various
parts of the Union who issued in
! functions restraining the strong arm
Of the law, all New Orleans saloon
keepers, according to Rufus Fonte-
not, collector Of internal revenue, win
be prosecuted and asked to pay the
maximum penalty.
Practically every saloon in the
eastern district of Louisiana is wide
open as a result Of the Foster de-
cision. In the western district, how
ever, despite rumors that saloons
were open in various towns, it is said
everything is closed" Saloon keep
ers are eagerly awaiting the Oppor-
tunity to reopen, but it is feared
that Judge Jack of this district would
not give a decision in favor Of the sa-
loon men, and while the thirsty mul-
titude stand with trembling hopes
for a real wet and hilarious time this
Christmas, the booze empOriums re-
main closed and the immense stock
Of old "John" and his kindred liquors
remains in hiding.
New Orleans is now, without doubt,
the most popular city in the South, #
not in the entire Union. It is said
that the advocates Of wet from all
sections of the country are either
flocking there to enjoy the "wet pc
riod," or have their eyes longingly
turned toward the old town, and pw-
ing to this sudden change in the ex-
isting condition Of things alcoholic,
1 the city has once more assumed its
former aspect Of being ''free and IN
dependent" "

FONTENOT WILL
TOUR PARISH
Candidate for Sheriff to Map
Out Itinerary and Expects
to Speak on Every Stump

Ariel Fontenot, candidate for sher-
iff, plans to stump every precinct in
st. Landry during the next few
weeks. Mr.. Fontenot announced
during the week that now that the
criminal court term was completed,
he expected to take to the country"
Reports from every section of the
parish indicate that the young can
didate for sheriff is making a whirl-
wind campaign. He spoke recently
to an overwhelming crowd at MaIlet,
where he was received with open
arms by the voters Of that big pre-
cinct. A few days later he addressed
a meeting at Lawten and recently he
was called to near Arnaudville, where
his friends had prepared mammoth
meeintg, much to his surprise, and he
found himself in the ''house of his
friends" There, too, he delivered an
address and was exceptionally well
received. There were approximately
one hundred voters present, and it
was freely expressed that over nine
ty-five per cent Of the crowd was for
FontenOt.
Just as soon as he is able to map
out his itinerary, Mr.. FontenOt will
begin his tour of the parish. He will
be assisted by men from various Sec
tions Of St. Landry, and now that he
is making such headway as stump
speaker, it is expected that he will
make a favorable impression wher-
ever he goes.

Carload of Government Food
Found Inadequate for Lo-

A three-thousand-dollar carload Of
government foodstuffs was not a drop
in the bucket for the hungry, desper-
ate st. Landry fighters of the high
cost Of living. Within an hour and a
half of the time the doors Of the
Chamber Of Commerce headquarters
were opened many Of the articles
were completely sold out. By IL
o'clock only two cases Of corned beef
were left, many hundred cases of 10
matoes, green peas, pork and beans
and bacon having been disposed Of.
. Before O'Clock, half an hour
ahead Of the scheduled time for the
sale, people from every section Of
st. Landry began crowding around
the Chamber Of Commerce headquar-
ters-men, women and children had
come to buy good, sound and whole
some food-the kind that put tour
boys" in the mood to whip the Huns
and as soon as the windows were
opened outstretched hands full OF
money pleaded for case Of this and
case Of that kind of food. It was
not long before the sales force Of the
Chamber Of Commerce was swamped
and began calling for time
Outside the building, on the side
walk, so many eager customers had
gathered that the crowd had to be
frequently reminded Remember
Vile Platte" The crowd was SO dense
one person pushing against the other,
that in taking cases out Of the build-
ing many persons were minus good
looking clothes, as 80 many had their
wearing apparel torn.
President E. K. Eastman and sew
eral members Of the board Of direc-
tors of the Chamber Of Commerce
appeared en- the scene at about III
'o'clock and after inquiring whether
the sales force had not experienced
a wreck, expressed much satisfaction
at the wonderful success of the nm
dertaking and that the people Of st.
Landry and Opelousas had availed
themselves Of saving from four to
five thousand dollars in the purchase
Of the goods.
Efforts will Immediately be made
by the Chamber Of Commerce to se-
cure two more cars of foodstuffa.
which win be sold at the same prices
and on the same conditions. SO many
persons could not fill their orders
that general demand is being made
for more Of the government food.
The mob Of hungry bargain hunt
ers was efficietIy waited upon By
two Of OpeIousas' pretty and attrac-
tive young ladies', Misses Corinne La
Combe and Francis Budd, who cheer-
fully volunteered their services, and
also by Messrs. Gotham Walker,
Charles Budd, Robert Budd and
Lawrence A. Andrepnt. Four strong
negro boys helped to move the heavy
boxes and materially assisted ia
serving hundreds Of people in . few
hours.
1 Tuesdays sale by the Chamber of
Commerce is considered the greatest
achievement of the organization.
Thousands Of dollars have been saved
by the people Of this section Of the
parish, and indications are that il

materially aid the poor consumers to
ward off the heavy blows Of the high
cost Of living.
