Report of Grand Jury
For the Term Of 1921.

To the Honorable the Judge ol
the Nineteenth Judicial Dis
trict Court in and for thu
Parish of Iberia, State ol
Louisiana:
Sir-We, the Grand Jurors
empaneled and sworn in and
for the Nineteenth Judicial Dis
trict, Parish of Iberia, July 1921
Criminal Term, beg leave to sub
init this, our final report.
Your Grand Jurors have been
in session for two (2) days. we
have examined thirty-nine cases
submitted to us and we have
found q true bills and ~ no
true bills.
The Grand Jury would call
the attention of the Court and
its officers of the custom
throughout the Parish of Iberia
of permitting property owners,
farmers and rice growers to
drain their surplus waters on
the public road. This custom
is one that should be stopped
for the reason that it has been
the cause of considerable ex-
pense to the tax payers of this
Parish in properly maintaining
the public roads. II has in sew
eral instances boon the cause of
clay and additional expense to
the tax payers in the construc-
ton of the gravel roads in this
Parish. We would, therefore.
ask that from henceforth the
draining on the Public Road be
stopped and Statute be strict
" enforced.
We would also call the atten-
tion of the Court to the condi-
ton of the New Iberia.J Jeane-
rette Highway; this highway
was built at a considerable ex-
pense and is in urgent need of
repairs and unless additional
gravel and the proper dragging
0f this road is done, this read
will shortly 60 to pieces and be-
of nQEeervice to the public.
The Gfond Jury calls the al
tention Of the Court and its Of
ficers to the fact that there is
unnecessary and continuous
trespassing upon the school
house grounds in this Parish,
after school hours. This, for
the best interest of all concerned
should be stopped.
Remodeling and Repairing Of
Court House Building.
The Grand Jury finds that the |
Court House building should be !.
remodeled on the following !
lines: That the office. now oc-
cupied by the Assessor and that
occupied by the Clerk of the
Court should be made one Of
flce, that proper equipment for
The safe guarding Of the records
in this office should be. placed /
in that Office, that the necessary !
furniture and fixtures for the
Clerks Office and for the con-,
vience Of the public should also !,

Defer Bonus Bill, Rush
Tariff Act, Harding View.

Washington, July 7.-Presi
dent Harding paid an unexpec
ted visit to the Senate today, anC
it is understood, intcrposed tht
weight of his personal influence
to defer action on the soldier
bonus bill until a clearer under
standing Of the governments
financial outlook has been made
possible by enactment of new
tariff and tax laws.
In a II hours conference with
Senate leaders, the president is
understood to have endorsed
the view of Secretary Mellon
that bonus legislation now might
be a serious embarrassment to
the treasury, and even to have
suggested that all other lcgisla-
tive business be suspended to
permit completion of the tariff
and tax revisions as soon as
possible. BY those who talked
with him, he was quoted as fav-
oring a recess Of Congress while
committees in charge are hast
cning perfection of the two
measures, on account of which
the special session was called.
II was indicated Mr.. Hard
ing's views would be set forth
at greater length in a special
message to Congress, which
may be sent to the capitol to-
The document is ex-
pectcd to deal particularly with
the bonus bill and to state that
while the administration re-
CARDS itself as committed to
some legislation for relief of
war veterans. it sees no reason
for acting precipitately.
While the president was giv-
ing his opinion of senator after
senator in his room just off the
chamber, the Senate it.
self was debating the bonus bill
with sponsors for the measure
of its passage. BY an
overwhelming vote the bill had
been brought to the Senate floor
as special order of business
and the senators in charge were
Inclined to predict that even the
opposition of Secretary Mellon
would not be sufficient to de-
ay it.
Tonight the outlook generally |
vas admitted to be more uncer-
ain. Leaders had not made a

much weight the visit of the |,
might have, and the |
disposition in most quarters
vas to await Mr.. Harding's |
MESSAGE before forcing show

likely an attempt will be made
o send the bonus bill back to

our votes.

be installed therein.
| That the office now occupied
by the Sheriff and that used by
the Police Jury for its meetings
should also be made one office
with the proper fixtures and
furniture for the convenience oi
| the sheriff and his clerical force
should be installed.
The Grand Jury would also
suggest that the old Jail build
ing now on the Court House
square should be remodeled and
offices for the Assessor and the
Secretary of the Police Jury
should be made in the down
stairs.
That the upper story of the
old Jail should be used for the
meetings of the Grand Jury,
the Police Jury and the Petit
Jurors and the proper furni-
ture and fixtures should be sup.
piled for those offices.
The enforcement of the auto
mobile license plates should be
strictly enforced. Automobiles
without the proper license are
permitted the use of the public
roads of this Parish and this
should not be permitted. The
Mayors, the Marshals. the JUS
tices Of Peace, the Constables,
the Sheriff and his Deputies
should strictly enforce the col
lection and the proper display
of automobile licenses on all
motor driven vehicles using the
public roads of the Parish of
Iberia.
The Grand Jury now, special
ly calls the attention of every
officer, State. Parish and Mu-
nicipal that the speeding of auto
in the cities, towns, vii
lagos and the public roads in
this Parish has become menace
to life and limb, the speeding of
automobiles is one of the most
dangerous practices permitted
in this Parish and unless it be
the life of some per-
son or persons will be lost. The
Grand Jury finds that this law
is not sufficiently enforced and
the attention of all the officials
are called to this matter.
The Federal Inspector of the
State Live Stock Sanitary Board
complains that on account of
the opposition to the cattle tick
enforcement law by one of the
Parish officials has been the
cause that a certain section Of

Southern States Repre-

Washington. June S.-Adoption of q
new basis of representation at ma
tional conventions marked the meeting
Wednesday of the Republican nation
al committee. Mrs. Leonard G. Woods.
Of Pittsburgh, was elected second vice
chairman, an office created by COM
mittee action in recognition of the wo-
man membership in the party. The
change in representation, based on the
Republican votes of the last election
reduced by @ the number of delegates
who were accredited from the southern
states to the Chicago convention last
June. This represents a cut of II
per cent and makes total Of 40 per
cent in the number of delegates from
those states since the 1912 conven-
ton.
District Rules Changed.
Under the new plan Of apportion-
ment, the next national convention will
be made up of 1887 delegates. SO more
than the last, unless there are great
changes in the state votes of last fall
upon which the calculations were made.
The old system allowed for one dele
gate from each congressional district
but under the new plan district must
have cast $500 Republican votes in
the last preceding election before it
may send delegate to the conven-
tion To have two district delegates,
there must have been cast 10000 Re
publican votes, or Republican repres-
nntative must have been elected to con-
yress. Under the former plan 1900
votes gave two delegates.
Provision is also made in the new
plan for the seating of two additional
delegates at large from each state
carried at the last preceding election
~ the Republicans.
