Police Jury Takes u p
Good Roads Question
In St. Mary
Parish
President Frost Submits Report
of His Investigations,
Recommending $480,000
Bond Issue

The good roads question in st. Ma
ry Parish was the principal matter
taken up by the Police Jury at its
regular meeting in Franklin yester-
day. A full membership was present,
as all are vitality interested in the
matter of good roads for the parish.
President Chas N. Frost, who had
been appointed a committee Of one
at the preceding meeting to lnvestl-
gate thoroughly the need and cost of
rebuilding the roads of the parish.
submitted the data he had prepared.
He advised the jury that there was
an urgent need for rebuilding approx
imately 60 miles of roads throughout
the parish, and that such road build
ing would cost the parish approxi-
mately $4,000 per mile, making it nee
essary for a bond issue of S4SO,OO0,
hasing the estimate on cost of gravel
and labor. This would cover all main
roads and roads where sufficient
amount of traffic justified the expen-
diture.
The president explained to the jury
that a roadbed of shells could be put
down for about $500 less per mile,
but that this kind of roadbed had
proven failure in many places, ow-
ing to its inability to stand wear He
recommended that the parish build
only the best kind of roads while it
was building, and that the jury should
not let the matter of cost interfere
with the work.
| Mr.. John Drackett of Morgan City
declared that the need for good roads
at this end of the parish had reached
such a point that the parish could de-
lay no longer, and that the jury
should make it their business to roll
up their sleeves and go to it while
the iron was hot. Mr.. Drackett de-
clared, however, that the people Of
one part of the parish should not be
given preference over those of anoth-
er section, and that model roads
shoul be provided for all. Mr.. Frost
then explained all of the parish was
provided for in his report and recon-
mendation. The jury discussed at
length the advisability of putting
gravel on several short stretches in
the upper part of the parish. They
also discussed the repairing of the
gravel roads already built by the par
ish, and the question of maintenance
of all parish roads after being built
Mr.. Frost declared that mainten-
ance fund was provided in the $4,000
per mile recommended by him.
The jury then went into details as
to the kind of gravel to be used Mr.
Sidney Woiford of Baldwin express
ed the opinion that washed river
gravel lacked the binding qualities
found in other gravel, and recon-
mended that the jury investigate
carefully the value of the material to
be used.
Upon the suggestion of Mr.. Eugene
Pharr, who was present, the jury vot-
ed that resolution of thanks be ex,

French Driver Enters For
Sweepstakes at In

Indianapolis. Ind, March ~
Louis Chevrolet, who with Ralph
milford, shares the honor of being
the veteran among the drivers now
named for the 500-mile Liberty
Sweepstakes race at the indianapolis
Speedway, May 81. put his name in
the pot" today by filing his entry for
the $4,000 race.
Although he gives the mechanical
details of the a he has entered, the
famous Franco-Swiss chooses to make
it somewhat OF a mystery by with
holding the name OF the car. For
three eason Chevrolet has been
campaigning Frontenac cars. the
kind that Ralph milford has entered.
During the winter it has been rumor-
cd that in the factory at Plainfield, N.
j.. where Chevrolet builds passenger
cars for the trade, he has been work
ing IN some new creations.
In his detailed specifications
Chevrolet shows that he has gone al
most to the limit in engine size with a
1895 cubic inch piston displacement
engine, the maximum being 300
inches. The engine has a bore of 3.S7
inches and a 6.375-inch stroke and
has four cylinders. The Franco-Swiss
has always driven the cars he has
sponsored to the limit and should give
a good account of himself on May 81.

HOPPE PLAYS
BILLIARDS FOR
A BLIND Man
Old Billiard Fan, Blind,
Likes to Hear Click of
Balls.

IT have had a lot Of queer things
happen to me-" says Willie Hoppe.
billiard champion of the world who is
coming here to play George Butler
Sutton of Chicago at Brooks billiard
hall, Thursday, April 3.
But I never had an experience
such as I had in Boston recently. Just
before the game, a III walked eau
tiously into the room and sat down in
one Of the seats. No one paid any
particular attention to him until 1t
was found that he was occupying a
seat belonging to someone else. 1t
was then that the usher found out he
was blind and communicated the fact
to. me.
II was curious as to why a blind
man should wan to be present when
I played and questioned him. He
told me that he was formerly a de-
voice of billiards. that he formerly
lived in Dallas. Texas, and h he
often went into a billiard parlor for
the pleasure Of hearing the balls
click.
He stayed during the entire game
and a%pplauded when a shot was made
that seemed to him a long one-that
being the only difference he could
detect, long and short shots. And
since the long ones are usually harder
than the others. he judged l must
have made a difficult billiard.
1T say l have seen and heard a lot
Of queer things during my travel
around the country but h a was the
most Notwithstanding n blind man
watch me play billiards."

Geist Team Takes Two Of
Three and Graves Two
Straight.

With rivalry running high and ac-
curate receiving and placing in the
court featuring the play, the Geist
and Graves volleyball teams were VIC
torfous in some of the snappiest
games played during the winter.
The first games of the evening were
particularly speedy and snappy from
the start to finish. In the first game
Team No. 3, captained by n. x. ,Geist.
won with a score Of 81. to Is. The
second game went to Team No. 4,
captained by G. A. Thompson, to the
tune OF s21 to Is. In the third and
deciding game the Geist men were
victorious in the hardest fought game
Of the evening, as the close score of
Fl to 20 would indicate.
Team No 2, captained by c. w.
Graves, took two fast one from Team
No. 4. G%captained by l.. K Raymond,
with the scores 21-18 and 21-16 for
the two games.
Interest was high in the games last
evening and the play was especially
keen. The players have developed
wonderfully on the receiving and
placing of the ball in the court and
frequently the ball was passed and
fought for for several minutes before

Chicago, March 27.-Corn prices
took an upward swing today, reacting
from the. weakness which prevailed in
last part Of yesterdays session. The
rally was attributed to renewal Of
confidence on the part of. bulls who
had been disturbed temporarily by
talk of a big exportable surplus in
Argentine and by gossip, that the ex-
change directors here were. to take
measures to determine whether prices
for the March delivery had become
artificial. Opening figures which
ranged from 1-sc off to 1 lac adj
vance with May $1.49 1-4.to 1.60 and
July $1:3s "a to 1.40, were followed
by material gaiis all around but then
by q general sag. "
Oats duplicated the action Of corn.
Aftef opening unchanged to 3-8c
higher with May Sc 1-4@3-4 the
market scored a general moderate up
turn before beginning to fall back.
:, Provisions rallied with grain.
Later a sharp decline in the value
Of rye and barley brought about de-
cided weakness in the corn market,
The close was heavy, * to 2 cents net
lower with May 1.4S to LASH and
July 1877 to 1.37A:
Subsequently the market descend
