 The high school is built and equip ped to accommodate 750 people. At the present time the registration IS running in the neighborhood of double that and it is going to be some job to keep track of them. In case pupils do not care to be regular in their attend ance -or persist in being late at classes we are going to first warn them and then in case the offense is repeated, they will be dropped and room made for some one who really desires en- trance. And there are many more pupils requesting attendance this year than ever. AS a matter of fact al- though we are going to do our best to take in everyone it is the opinion or those who are conyersant with the school problem and the influx of visit ors, that there is going to be quite a large number of young people who will not be able to enter"
 MT. Stauffacher has Installed new system of visible files for keeping track of the pupils modelled after that used in the army.

Tn transacting the business of school administration for the past twelve years, John D. Loper, superintendent, has demonstrated executive ability of rare calibre and the city of Phoenix can be justly proud of the man who has worked tirelessly day and night for the advancement of the school chil- dren. During these years of unselfish devotion he has served the city in most capable manner and on the eve of the opening of school season, MT. Ioper is once more giving evidence of his steady and unceasing desire to give the children of this city the best education to be had.
 Many people have been impressed by the patience of the man who is acting in the capacity of school su- perintendent: purchasing agent and other capacities too numerous to men tion. They have been astonished at the ease with which he disposes of the most momentous question and at his calm unruffled demeanor in conduct ing one of the most important offices in the city. Twelve years of service has not altered him in the least He is the same plodder that came here years ago and planed and worked for the future welfare Of the city's chiI- dren.
 There win be several devfatiorAs from the usual program this year.

The posts and globes complete be built for about
twenty five dollars each.
One of the leading merchants has seen the advantages
of more lights in his section, and has expressed Wiling
to the funds among the stores on MS

Commissioner of Public Property, Mr.. l.. f. Vlllermln
speaking for the Council that the City Admlnstra
ton will furnish free current for these extra lights and
have them erected at cost

We understand that the Elks have ordered two OF

Sad Accident Occurs At
jefferson Island
Thursday.

Probably the most gruesome
accident that has taken place IN
or near New Iberia in many a year
took place at the site Of the new
salt mine now being constructed
at jefferson Island by Messrs.
Bayliss and Jones.
The shaft, which is fully thirty
feet in diameter, had been sunk to
depth of nearly one hundred
feet, with but ten feet to 60 before
penetrating the great bed of salt.
To prevent cave in of the
walls of the shaft, wall of steel
and concrete two feet in thickness
was being put down as the shaft
was deepened.
At twelve thirty O'Clock six
men were at work 10 the bottom OF
this shaft painting the steel walls
with a preparation OF asphalt
which was mixed with gazoline to
cause it to dry out quickly.
One of the men struck q match,
probably to light cigarette; and
there was an instant explosion OF
gas, the blazing asphalt flying all
over the men, who became at once
enveloped in flames.
Efforts were made at once by
their friends above ground to
rescue the six unfortunate men,
but three we're dead and charred
almost past recognition when help
reached them.
The other three regained con
sciousness long enough to give
some details of the horrible disas
ter, but their conditions were past
recovery and death soon brought q
merciful relief from their suffering
Messrs. Bay and Jones we're
in Terrebonne Parish at the time
of the fateful occurrence, but on
being notified by long distance
telephone they rushed home by
auto, stopping at New Iberia at
about 6 o'clock only long enough
to get some details, then proceed.
ing at once to the scene
Coroner Fulton, DR.. Oarstens,
DR.. Dauterive and DIR. J. NJ. Pharr
were called on, but the men were
all past the need of mortal assist-
ance, before they reached the
scene.
The bodies were taken in charge
by the Dauterive Undertaking
Company, and were brought IN ID
motor trucks and ambulance.
Two bodies, that Of Mr.. Cleomire
Langlinais, Of Youngsville, and
Avonaire Mayors, of Erath, were
shipped Thursday night to their
homes.
The other four were mine
operators brought here from
Michigan, all of Scandinavian birth,
and scarcely able to speak the
English language. These poor
victims of the mishap were all
prepared Friday morning for
transportation to their homes in
Michigan.

Chamber of Commerce
r1eeting.

The weekly Directors neetlng OF
the New Iberia Chamber OF
Commerce was held Oh Tuesday
evening.
The principal matter discussed
was the labor situation, which Is
becoming 80 serious throughout
the country generally. Definite
action was taken by the adoption
of the resolution which we print
below, in which the Chamber OF
Commerce asks the co operation OF
the Parish and City Authorities in
enforcing the vagrancy laws.
Resolutions of the New Iberia
Chamber of Commerce, at its
r Getting on Tuesday, April 18th,
1920.
The complaint being so general
In this parish Of the scarcity or
farm labor, thus impairing and
jeopardizing the agricultural de-
velopment of our farmers, upon
motion duly seconded and carried,
1t is therefore resolved, that we,
as members of the New Iberia
Chamber of Commerce deem it
A1ftumben upon our Parish and
CIV officials to enforce the va
ghncy laws as now in the statute
books. Unless these and similar
laws are adopted and rigidly
enforced, and all able bodied Inen
who have no means of support are
made to do manual labor, a condi.
ton will exist in this country
which will rebound to the great
injury of the commonwealth.
1t was resolved further that a
COPY of this resolution be for
warded to the Police Jury of
Iberia Parish, the Sheriff, mem.
bers of the Commission Council
and to both newspapers.

tries, and this resulted IN some of
the headline attractions for the
week being absent. However, MIR
Sheperd, the manager, made every
effort toward securing suitable
substitutes, and the program as a
whole was satisfactory to the
greater number of those who
attended. Keen disappointment
over the non.appearsnce Of certain
numbers was largely Offset by Mr..
Shepherds own personality, and
the activity and interest he showed
in trying to do the best possible
for tie local audiences.
The fact that his efforts were
appreciated, and New lberia's
readiness to give another chance
to person or company in hard
luck, made it comparatively easy
task for Mr.. Shepherd and few
local citizens to get fifty signatures
on q contract for next wear.
New Iberia needs and wants an
attraction of this kind, and We
personally hope that Ellison
White make good on their next
years attraction as this would
assure Chautauqua Week as an
