To Abolish Second
City Court

The Algiers citizens are much
aroused regarding an effort being
made at Baton Rouge to abolish the
Second City Court. The matter has
been recommended to the sub-com.
mittee of the committee on judiciary
of the Constitutional Convention.
This subject has been brought up
on several occasions, and the argu-
ment heretofore put up by the Algiers
people, that courts were never estab-
lished as revenue producers, but for
the convenience of the public, has
been able to retain this court. Should
the Constitutional Convention abolish
this court, and with the recorders
court also discontinued, we would
have left in Algiers "a pretty good
looking courthouse, all dressed I'D.
with no place to go or any thing
to do"

10000 Worms Making
Silk In AIgiers
OSIGIAN SILK CORPORATION ES-
TABLISHES BRANCH HERE.

1t is indeed a wonderful sight to
see ten thousand silk worms feeding
on mulberry leaves to make silk
The Osigian Silk Corporation has
opened a demonstration farm at the
old LeCourt Pface on Verret Road or
the continuation of Verret street, at
Socrates, where visitors are welcome
to watch this wonderful new indus
try. Mrs. Oliver Blanchard, who is
in charge of this public demonstra-
ton, takes a great deal of pleasure
in showing visitors the evolutions
from the silk worm egg to the fin
ished cocoon.
This corporation has nothing to
sell the public, but has established
its silk farm in Algiers for the pur-
pose of encouraging the people to go
into this business. which it is hoped
will be very profitable soon.
In the large barn where the demon
stration is being made, there are
large stands erected where these silk
worms are fed mulberry leaves from
five to eight times a day. 1t is in
teresting to watch the different ages
and how they start out from the lit.
tie worms and grow and grow until
they end their life, when they entomb
themselves into their cocoon, to be
evolved later on into a butterfly.
Another interesting part of this
industry is the fact that these silk
worms are domesticated and have
been for thousands of years. The
present demonstration farm here in
Algiers will beflater on turned over
to Mrs. F. M. Chapman of 1926 Ell
mira avenue, who will succeed Mrs.
Blanchard in the managership of the
farm.

Three Arrested For
Harper Robbery

With the arrest of Steve and Joe
Quartano and Louis Burgau, three
Algiers men. Sergeant Cripps of the
Eighth Precinct Station believes he
has in custody trio that know
something about the burglary of the
Harper Garage at 800 Opelousas
avenue last Tuesday night. The men
were jailed Thursday at IL o'clock,
when they were taken in custody at
the ferry landing, head of Morgan
street, by Sergeant Grips, PATROL
men DeRocha and Harvey and Super
numerary Payne. The men were in
an automobile, which, when searched
by the police, was found to contain
ten of the inner tubes and three cans
of radiator liquid rhat had been
stolen from the Harper garage. The
homes of the three men were
searched and a Fisk casing, also
stolen from the Harper place, was
found in Steve Quartano's home,
141S Teche street. A lot of goods,
which were identified as stolen
property, was found in Joe Quar-
tano's home. 1343 Teche street. Bur
gau lives at 424 Brfngier street.
The trio denied any connection with
the burglary of the Harper place and
explained the presence of the stolen
articles by saying they had been
'given to them by a negro. They
were charged with having stolen
now under bonds awaiting trial.

( ruesday about noon, a delegation of
,,oiers men and women went before
,he city council in their protest
.ao,nst the removal Of the recorders
.orrt The ordinance closing this
sorrt which has been up for consid.
s-ot;on and has been continued sew
s-oI times. was up for final passage.
when that part of the councils bust
,os. came before it, Mayor McShane
asked IL any of the Algiers delegation
desired to speak.
Mr. VIM. ]. Hennessey, who was
selected by the Algiers delegation to
M, the case before them, held the at
tention of the council some twenty or
thirty minutes and fully covered the
case in every point.
others who spoke in defense of the
oourt were: VIM. Smith, Louis Acker
Mrs J. E. Huckins, A. Spitzfaden and
Or. c. v. Kraft.
After several Of the speakers had
been heard 1t was easy to be seen that
the council was very much divided as
IN how to vote on the ordinance. DR..
Kraft was asked by Commissioner
Raw whether or not the people of AL
siers would agree to holding court
one day a week, in the face of the
fact that only lis cases had been
heard last year. making an average
of one case every three days. DR..
Kraft stated that he would not answer
for the Algiers people in that respect,
but that he thought that holding court
one day week. where the party I'M
der arrest has to be arraigned in the
city and tried in the court house here,
was equivalent to the removal of the
court. The delegation as a whole re-
jected the compromise offered by
Commissioner Ray.
A considerable amount of amuse
ment was afforded the council. spec
tators and the delegation by some of
the incidents that occurred during the
hearing.
Mrs. Huckins stated that since the
desire to close the Algiers court house
was on account of lack Of business,
II would be better to furnish the Al
gers people with pistols and guns so
a. to give some room or reason of
maintaining the court on this side of
the river.
Mr. William Smith asked some plain
blunt questions regarding the moving
Of the court which could not be am
svered to the satisfaction of those
who did not desire to see the court
closed. 1t was also suggested that
since 1t took so much of Judge Duffy's
time to try the cases of the speed
maniacs, who endanger the lives and
