SENATE GIVEN
TARIFF DRAFT
Senator Penrose Reports Emer.
gency Measure With Amend
ments to House Plans.

Drastically different from the
form in which it passed the House,
the emergency tariff bill was re-
ported to the Senate yesterday by
Senator Penrose, chairman Of the
Finance COMMITTEES: Senator PEN
rose plans to call the bill up Mon
day and pass it sometime during
the week." he said last night.
VITAL AMENDMENTS.
The most vital amendment in the
House bill IL that striking out the
section stipulating that in the as
sessment Of customs duties. no for
eign currency shall be estimated to
Rave deprecated more than Sc 2-3
per cent In the case of imports
from countries whose currency has
appreciated more than, this amount,
duties would have been heavily In
creased. In some cases several thou
sand per cent. :.
1T Is the opinion of the commit
tee, says the report filed with the
BILL" that in many instances this
would result in creating an en-
barge or would divert the merchan-
disc Into other countries where the
currency has not deprecated to so
great an extent and cause IL to be
sold from such countries to the
United States in the currency of the
country of expectation"
Another amendment allows the as
sessment of duties on either export
or foreign market price, which IL
higher. The committee holds this
will result in considerable duty in
creases In many cases, notably on
shipments from those countries
which are charging higher prices to
American than to domestic buyers.

ment. extending for six months the pow
ers Of the War Trade Board to license

and provides for the granting of

terms as under the requirements for
the Importation of dyes and chemi-
calls from enemy countries"
The War Trade Board Is transferred
by the bill from the Senate to the
Treasury Department.
While the emergency measure was
being reported to the Senate, the
House ways and means majority mem
bers were continuing preparation of
the general tariff bill. with the pre-
diction from Chairman Fordney that

FALL STYLES ON DISPLAY.
Local Merchants Receive Large Ship
ments of Fall and Winter Goods.

|. Fall and winter clothing, lots OF
it, for men, women and children, all
kinds and prices, are now being dis
played in the windows of merchants
who handle such things. Without
doubt the shipments to Donaldson
vile this season have been the larg-
est in several years.
There is everything for milady,
the little ones, boys and girls, and
the men who have to pay for them.
And this year the styles for both
sexes are classy and chic. Stores
in Railroad avenue and Mississippi
street seem to vie with each other re-
garding their displays. Everything
from footwear to headgear is being
shown, and the prices in most in
stances are reasonable compared
with those of last year.
They are also showing superior
line of footwear, something that will
meet the demands of cool and wet
weather and the clothing stores are
neat and nifty with bright, new
stocks of overcoats, suits and hats.
Of course everything for milady is
also on display and millinery show
ings are perfect dreams. Otherwise
they would not attract the fair sex.
Then, too there is everything for
the children.

ness this fall" said clothing mer-
chant to a representative of The
Chief,' and as consequence nearly
every firm has stocked up for fall
and winter. s'True, the real fall
business has not started as yet, but
in a week or two we anticipate a
good business. The styles this year
are somewhat different from last
years, and if anything they show
more class. Prospects are good for
an upward tendency in business, not
only in the line of clothing, but in
everything else"

CYCLE RACES TOMORROW
Professional and Amateur Riders to
Race at Fair Grounds.

Tomorrow at 3 o'clock one Of the
most sensational motorcycle track
meets will take place at the fair
grounds in this city. Eight profess
sioal racers will make a thrilling fight
for the southern title to champion
ship honors. State records probably
will be broken, as every contestant is
alive with enthusiasm over the win
ming Of the championship title. 1t is
the belief that new state record wilt
be made for half-mile track.
A local man, Jack Richardson, a
veteran motordome rider and holder
of many track records, will be one Of
the contestants. His friends are
anxious TO see him come out with fly
lig color; anG beat racers from Min
neapolis, ST. Louis, New York, Mem
phis, San Antonio and other places.
T, J. Butler, who made big hit at
Latonia last spring, is another fast
entry and promises the auditors some
hair-raising thrills. A. N. Roussell,
who rides a Datonia Indian, is the
holder of the southern mile record
and one of the racing stars of the
Indian wigwam. Another is "Cy-
clone" Treen, veteran of the track,
who promises to loosen some "of the
gravel on the track. Treen is the
tri-state champion. Then we have
'Tiny' Miranda who holds the five
mile world record and winner of the
northwestern championship at Min
neapolis. He will ride a Chicago5O0-
Harley Davidson motor. Gasquet
will steer big valve Excelsior; Ra-
mics will be astride a Torres Triplet,
and Walker will handle an eight-valve
Indian. There will be time trial,
two, three and five mile, in addition
to Australian pursuit races for the
professionals. For the amateurs
there will be bicycle races, a five
mile solo race, and side car race.
Alfred J. Landry, the popular
jeweler, has shown his good sports
manship by offering a silver loving
| cup to the winner Of the time trials!
The cup is on display at Mr.. Lam
dry's store in Railroad avenue.

Coal of An Execeptioal Quality.

Liberty coal is an exceptionally
good grade of coal for either. steam
Or domestic purposes. The seam
where this coal is mined, is unusually
free from impurities. The coal will
not clinker and repated tests by a
large manufacturing plant in this
city, show that liberty coal runs much
higher in heat units than the aver
age coal from the same fields. The
Liberty mines are equipped with the
very latest modern mining machi-
merry. The coal is cut by electric
cutting machines, which operation
produces the minimum amount of
stack and brings the coal out in large,
blocky humps. The coal then passes
over vibrating perforated screens,
which takes out all the slack and
separates the coal into the different
sizes; nut, egg, No. / lump and g.
inch fancy block. The coal then
passes over a picking table where
foreign matter such as rock, slate,
etc, is picked out by hand. We are
very proud of liberty coal and the
many letters we get comlimenting US
on its good qualities, prove that it
has very 'enviable reputation.

JENSEN OPTIMISTIC.
T.. and P. Official Confers With
Secretary-Manager of Fair.

Frank Jensen, assistant general
passenger and ticket agent of the
Texas and Pacific road, was in Don
aldsonvile Tuesday for the purpose
of comforting with R. S. Vickers,
secretary-manager of the South
Louisiana Fair, regarding matters
relative to the annual exhibition
which takes place from October 9
to 9 inclusive.
"We are looking forward to a good
business during the fair" said Mr..
Jensen, '''and we shall make every
effort to give adequate service both
to exhibitors and visitors. From my
conference with Mr.. Vickers I
gather that the fair will be one of
the best ever held in Donaldsonville.
| understand that the agricultural,
stock and other. exhibits will be
larger and the variety greater than
ever.'
Mr.. Jensen said that his road was
endeavoring to give as good ser
vice as possible, and that improve
ments would be made from time to
time. He was optimistic regarding
business for the coming year and
predicted that it would not be long
before business would show more of
an upward tendency than it does at
the present time.

NEW STATE DRY CHIEF.
Hugh Larre Becomes Prohibition
Director for Louisiana.

Hugh Larre, native of Assump,
ton, but for many years resident
of New Orleans, has been appointed
prohibition enforcement director for
Louisiana succeeding Jess Johnson
who has held the job since the coun-
try became dry. 1t is expected that
the appointment will be confirmed
by the senate and that the new ap-
pointee will take charge of the office
in few days.
The new director states that he
will do everything in his power to
strictly enforce the provisions of the
Volstead law. One of his first moves
against bootleggers will be to have
the present crew of enforcement
agents increased from ten to twenty
five. The present Democratic en-
ployes will be retained but all new
appointees will be Republicans.

THE. NEW DAILY.
Effort Will Be Made to Launch Daily
Chief About October l.

In the issue of The Donaldson
lille Chief of July 80 mention was
made that the management con-
templated the launching of daily
paper, providing proper support was
glen to the enterprise. With that
end in view a new linotype was in
stalled and the building in which
The Chief is now published was en-
larged. The project has not been
abandoned, and within a coE1para-
lively short time a canvass for ad-
vertisements and subscriptions will
be made. 1t is, obvious that this
must be done before the contem-
plated daily can be started.
The canvassing Of the city would
have been made before this, but
ewing to the volume of business The
Chief is handling at the present
time, and the fact that other busi-
ness matters prevented, it was
deemed advisable to delay the work
until a future date. Just when this
will be done it is impossible to say,
but it is hoped that it can be ac-
compliahed some time this month
SO that the first issue Of the daily
will make it's appearance ON or about
October | or sometime in Novem-
ber.
The paper will not be published
with the idea that it will meet a
long felt want, to use trite ex-
preston, but with the belief that
Donaldsonville and territory con-
tiguous thereto should be furnished
with a daily paper in which will be
chronicled the principal news of
the day, especially relating to the
territory it serves.
Something more than mere moral
support is necessary to get out and
maintain a daily paper. Subscrip-
tions and advertising are necessary
in order to meet the expense of such
undertaking. It is hoped that a
generous response will be given
to the Solicitors and canvassers when
they cali.
TO revert to what already has
been said in the former announce
ment: Many towns in the state,
some smaller than Donaldsonville,
support daily paper, and the
of The Chief sees no
valid reason why this community
should not come in the category of
towns that have their own dailies.
If proper support is given to the
enterprise, every effort will be made
to give to the people of this COM
munity clean, wholesome paper,
carefully edited, and containing all
the news it can possibly gather

died without medical aid.
With the opening of all the public
schools last Monday, the Burnside
two-room school with one teacher,
Miss Levie Medus, and nearly fifty
pupils enrolled, began its Scholastic
term under very unfavorable circum-
stances. How can one teacher, un-
trained in the practice of teaching,
alone, teach and control fifty children,
divided into FIVE grades? The failure
of the undertaking. failure it
will be-is a gross injustice to the
teacher and scholars. To attempt
su8h an impossible task amounts to a
farce, and will end in a tragedy. The
remedy lies with the school board,
or its superintendent of schools. The

road depot. Those in authority, find

LOCALS IN TWO GAMES.
Defeat Brusly St. Vincent But Lose
Out to St. Gabriel.

The local baseball team jo1rneyed
to Brusly st. Vincent last Sunday
and administered severe drubbing
to the nine of that place, the score
being 6 to in favor of Donaldson
Vile. The ''long necks" made their
two runs in the first inning and failed
to score thereafter. After the first
the home boys got down to business
and thenceforth the game proved a
one-sided affair. The rain made the
ground slippery and the ball heavy
and only seven inning were played.
Robert for the locals pitched splen-
did game and his team mates gave
him splendid support. Falcon, VINO
pitched for the Bruly lads, did ef-
fective work, but the support given
him was not what it should have been.
