VACUUM CLEANER
CAUSE OF FIRE

Fire at the residence of D. D. Con-
way, 753 Third street south, Tuesday
morning, resulted in the total loss of
one vacuum cleaner. Neighbors no.
ticing smoke streaming from the up
stairs window of the Conway home.
gave the warning, and a search re-
vealed the smoldering remains of the
cleaner in its customary resting place
under the stair way leading from the
second to the third floor.
The cause of the fire is a mystery.
The cleaner had been used over an
hour previous to the discovery of the
fire, and had then been disconnected
and put away. Apparently either
the motor had become overheated
while the machine was in use, or a
match had been drawn in through the
hose and ignited the dust in the bag.
No damage was done except to the
vacuum cleaner.

as we know now, is valuable only for
grazing purposes and for the minerals
1t contains. The reclamation of this
public agricultural land and the de-
velopment of its mineral resources de-
pends upon the attitude of the federal
government, and that attitude de-
pends largely upon knowledge of the
possibilities of the West.
While these eleven states include
nearly 40 per cent Of the area of the
country, they contain only little
more than eight per cent of the coun-
try's population. In 1910 they con-
tanned about seven per cent of the pop
ulation and in 1900 only about five per
cent. These states are increasing in
population more rapidly than the
country at large, but their greatest
need still is more people.
Rich in Minerals
Nearly 80 per cent of the available
coal OF the country is found in these
SAefoii oIdIeo. he great Dulk or the
nations production of gold and silver
has come from these states. They
have produced immense quantities of
copper, lead and zinc and still have
vast supplies of these metals to be
worked. Americas supplies of tung-
stem and molybdenum are found al
most exclusively in the West. and
the same is true of vanadium and
other metals of that group. The
Rocky Mountain West gave radium to
the world. The water resources of
these western states are almost IL
limitable. They produce very large
percentage of the country's petrole-
UNI output, and their oil shales are
capable of producing with proper de-
velopment, more petroleum than has
been produced in the entire world up
to date and more than is contained in
all the known oil fields of the world.

TINTING WILL TEMPORARILY
IMPROVE SILKS AND LACES

Sometimes, especially with light
colored silks and Georgette crepe, it
is convenient to give delicate tints
by some simple method. "Biueing"
and 'pinking" are most often resort
ed to. The United States Department
of Agriculture finds that, as a rule,
the color obtained by tinting is not so
permanent rs from dyeing. There are
soap dyes on the market which may
be used for this purpose, or tinting
water may be made by soaking colored
crepe or blotting paper, or by mixing
a few drops of colored ink in clear
water.
A glass of tinted water held to the
light will show about the same color
that it will give to material. A piece
of red crepe wrapping paper will cas-
lily impart enough color to basin of
water to restore faded pink crepe de
chine waist to its original shade Vi
olet or green ink or ordinary blueing
will act similarly. A small amount
of regular dye can also be used with
out boiling to tint silks The color of
deep cream or ecru lace may be re-
stored by tinting it with tea. Coffee
is sometimes used, but it is less de-
sirable as It leaves an odor and does
not give so clear tint. A cheap grade
of black tea is good for tinting, or
leftover tea may be used.

REMOVED
FROM OFFICE

Madison, Wis, Dec. 12-Hans Rodd.
sheriff of Oneida County, was remov-
ed from office on Monday on order of
Gov. John j. Blaine on the ground
that Rodd refused to obey a fair and
reasonable direction to him from the
Executive Office to discharge Peter
Christ on pardon issued by the Gov
ernor.
A formal order removing Rodd was
filed IN the Executive office Monday
morning and a copy of the complete
finding of the Governor as basis for
the order was sent by Gov. Blaine
Saturday night to be filed with the
county clerk of Oneida county.
Gov. Blaine in a 50OO-word state
ment summarizing the evidence and
the proceedings which have resulted
in the removal of Rodd finds that the
Sheriff showed San utter lack of good
faith and in fact shows conclusivelv
bad faith" that Judge A. H. Reid of
Wausau stepped down from the
bench and became partisan in pro-
ceeding in violation of the provisions
OF the statutes" and that Rodd will
fully disobeyed the pardon warrant
issued to him."
The statement Of Gov. Blaine is re-
plete with sidelights showing a net
work Of proceedings and secret un-
derstanding between Judge Reid and
Hans Rodd to disobey the order of
the Governor in pardoning Christ even
in advance of the issuance of the or

decorated the graves of all vete-
rams of the World War, buried
in New Iberia. For several
days previous to this date, a
committee of egionaircs APP
pointed by @ Post Com
mander, Mr.. J. J. Mayer, were
busy trying to ascertain in ev-
cry way possible, the exact num-
Der of veterans and their names,
who are buried in our city. The
men whose graves were dec
GRATED are as follows: Joseph
Terrell, Junius Delahoussaye,
Richard Windybank, Robert
Hanley and Chester Hayes. The
members of the Post met at
the Woodmen Hall at 8 A. NJ,
and accompanied by members
of the Women's Auxiliary and
friends of the deceased heroes,
proceeded to the Catholic and
Protestant cemeteries, where
beautiful bouquets of flowers
were laid on each tomb. A
small silken American flag was
also laid on each grave. Rev.

we had occasion
MEET PUBLIC'S WISHES


to observe the strip of cementi-
tiOus road near the Curtis
switch leading to Avery Island,
comprising about one-fifth of a
mile. This piece of highway
was erected through the instru-
mentality Of Mr.. Daniel d.
Avery for the purpose of dem
Onstrating the value of the
gravel taken from the enormous
beds on the Island. We must
say that we were agreeably sur
prised to see the way the mate
rial packed after the first rain.
1t seems 10 throw off water
better than any gravel we
have ever seen. When we take
into consideration that the ma
terial is right at our very door
and can be purchased and put
on the roads at less than fifty
per cent of any other gravel, we
are surprised that Mr.. Avery
had not made the value of his
road building material known
to the public years ago. The
stretch of highway looks dur
able and it packs as soon as it
becomes wet. Thousands of
dollars can be saved bv getting
from the pits on
Avery Island. especially if we
can get the use of trucks to
move the stuff over the Parish,
thus avoiding long railroad haul
and the third handling of the
material before putting it down.
1t would pay our citizens to go
out and investigate for them
selves.

FREEDOM OF IRELAND.

The citizens of New Iberia
who are interested in seeing
ireland given her freedom and
release from English oppression
have invited Mr.. M. J. Cousins
of New Orleans to deliver an
address at the Court House in
this City on Friday evening,
June 10th at eight o'clock. Mr.,
Cousins is a gentleman well
verscd on the situation in that
unfortunate country and its
poverty stricken people who
have been made to suffer every
indignity and cruelty that could
be imposed upon a human race.
1t is the intention of the COM
mittee here who have the
movement i'm charge to work
increasingly in lrcland's behalf.
and it behooves all citizens who
love mankind and stand for the
freedom of the races to be pres
cnt and give their sanction and
voice to the cause for the liberia
ton of the dOwntrodden.
Until England is thoroughly
convinced that the American
citizens, as well as the sons of
Ireland want justice done there
is but little hope for the future
of that country. II is high time
now that the entire world rise
up and demand of England that
justice be done by giving the
people of Ireland its complete
freedom. A council will be or
ganizcd in New IBERIA with no
other object than to help build
up a sentiment in the United
States to work for the cause of
Ireland. From what we learn,
i've minute talks between pic
lures in the Elks Theatre will
DC put on beginning next Sun
lay.

COURT RULED MAYOR MUST
SIGN PAVING CONTRACT.

A case of some interest was
that which was brought before
Judge Simon on Tuesday en-.
titled Dreaux Soilleau versus Tue
Mayor and Board of Trustees of
New iberia. The suit was
brought by the plaintiff to COM
pei Mayor Sealy to sign a con-
tract which had been awarded
to him for the paving of sec
ton Of Duperier Avenue. II
seemed after the contract was
awarded, the Mayor took the
stand that for certain reasons
he would not attach his sigma
ture to the contract. He was
represented by Judge Ventress
]. Smith while Mr.. Soilleau had
employed Mr.. E. Vuillemot to
look after his interest. After
the argument His Honor handed
down a decision ruling that the
duty in the premises
was purely ministerial and
therefore he must sign the
as the paving con-
tract read.

THE ELECTION.

A\SAt NIOIINAdN 10 ulC uu
when the citizens of New Ibe.
ria who are qualified, will have
an opportunity To cast their bal
LOT and select three officials Il
control the destiny of our little
City for the next four years
New Iberia needs. just at this
time. three Commissioners who
will pull together and work in
perfect harmony for its advance
ment.
Taking the candidates for
Mayor. alphabetically. they will
appear on the ballot as follows:
Leon Dreyfus. r. A. Jacob, Ed
win LaSallc and s. o. Nuckolls.
Out of the four. we feel fully
confident the citizens of New
iberia will cast all little prcju-
dices that might exist aside and
vote for the one they think the
best qualified, for one who pos
sesses the most ability to weigh
the conditions since New Iberia
is now burdened with a heavy
indebtedness. What we need is
an economical administration
and at the same time three Off
Gals who stand ready and will
ing to pull together for a great
err and better City. The ques-
ton of electing men who will
work in concord from the start
is of vast Importance, if we
hope to pull New Iberia out of
debt, without further imposi-
ton of taxes. The tax paying
public have always been willing
and ready to meet any emerg-
cncy; but as far as imposition
of taxes are concerned, they
have about all they can stand.
The campaign, so far, has been
conducted on a high plane.
Each candidate claiming that
they will have a majority over
their opponents. Despite these
statements with each voter hav-
ing a right to express a second,
and even a third choice, no one
can predict who will be VIC
torious when the ballots are
finally counted.
This same condition applies
TO the office of Commissioners of
Finance. II will be remem-
bered four years ago the third
choice votes elected the present
treasurer. In this instance the
three gentlemen aspiring for the
office are Messrs. Gall O. Pharr,
J. A. Broussard and A. A. Gil
rard, the present encumbent.
Secondsvotes can again elect
either Of the three aspirants.
AS far as the office of Commits
sioner Of Public Property is
concerned the general impress
sion expressed is that it is one .
sided and that Mr.. Jules +. Du-
puy, who a number of years ago :.
managed the electric light plant !
SO successfully will be the VIM
ner over the present encumbent,
Mr.. Lawrence villermin.
