K. OF c. OFFICERS INSTALLED,
Ceremony Witnessed by Large Num-
ber-To Move in New Home Soon,

The recently elected officers of
Ascension Council No. 1887, Knights
of Columbus, were installed with ap-
propriate and impressive ceremony
at a largely attended meeting held
last Sunday at 10 o'clock a. m. The
installation ceremonies were conduct
ed by Francis K. Knobloch, district
deputy, and Henry Naquin, state
warden, both of Thibodaux, and there
were nearly 100 members present.
Mr.. Knobloch mplimented the
council upon the splendid showing
made and enthusiasm and interest
displayed and predicted brilliant
future for it.
The council will shortly move to it's
new home recently purchased, which
is presently being renovated and re-
paired and which when completed
will be one of the best, with most
thoroughly equipped club rooms in
the city. The Knights are very anx-
ious to take charge of their new and
comfortable quarters.
The Catholic Daughters of Ameri-
ca, recently organized in Donaldson
vile, will occupy the same home.
Special rooms will be fitted out for
them, and certain days each week
will be designated as ladies' days and
the entire building will be turned
over to them so that they may enjoy
the club rooms, including the new
billiard and pool tables which have
been installed.
The membership Of Ascension
Council is increasing every day, and
it is planned to have another initia-
will give the council the largest men,
bership of any lodge in town. The
Catholic Daughters are also planning
to hold an initiation in the early fu-
ture.
The following are the officers of
Ascension Council who were install
ed last Sunday:
J. c. Bouchereau, grand knight;

Waguespack, warden; Jos. S. Blanch-
ard, Sr., financial secretary; U. L.
Rodriguez, recording secretary; Leo
Mattingly, inside guard; Richard
Marchand, advocate; Jos. N. Gisclard,
H. P. Broussard, L. B. Mattingly,

The appointment of the various
committees will be made soon, and

ner one for the council, both in in
creased membership and in number

Had Narrow Escape.

Alex Bloomenstiel, president of
Grand Theatre of this place, his wife
and Maurice Levy of Napoleonville,
had a narrow escape from being kill
ed in an automobile accident Friday
night of last week. They together
with Mr.. Bloomenstiel's colored
chauffeur, Edward Duffel, were on
their way to Thibodaux in Mr.. Bloom
enstiel's Dodge car. The car was
moving at speed of about twenty
five miles an hour. A short distance
below Paincourtville, the machine en-
countered some loose gravel which
had been recently placed on the road,
and skidded into the ditch and went
through the fence an turned over.
Mr.. Bloomenstiel was rendered un-
conscious for fifteen minutes and
suffered slight bruises on his arms
and hands. Mrs. BloomenstiePs right
shoulder was badly bruised and she
received slight injuries about the
body. Mr.. Levy and the chauffeur
escaped unhurt. The top of the car
was torn off and the windshield brok-
en-. Mr.. Levy had his car sent to
the scene from Napoleonville and Mr..
and Mrs. Bloomenstiel and the chauf-
feur were conveyed to Donaldson
vile. Mr.: and Mrs. Bloomenstiel
have both recovered from the in
juries sustained in the accident. The
Chief joins their many friends in con-
graduating them upon their very
narrow escape.

Burnside Notes and Leaks.
By Henry c. Braud.

The first train of any kind that
passed this place was on December
"a, 1888. Not since then has any
restriction been placed on the steal
ing of coal and sugar cane from
freight trains. A. D.. Butler, station
agent warns the pilferers that from
now on they will be prosecuted when
caught.
Mr.. and Mrs. E. J. Waguespack
and little son, Bernie, went to New
Orleans last Tuesday. The trip was
made in the interest of the boy who
is suffering with enlarged tonsils.
My mention last week about the
scarcity of laborers has been ex-
planned to me. Wages offered them
are so low that they are not willing
to leave their homes, pay their trans
portation to the cane fields and re-
turn with loss and deprivation of
home comforts. They have agreed
to remain at home, peel a hog now
and then, eat sweet potatoes and
peanuts, hunt coons and possums and
be comfortable chez sois. Does it
mean that the chief agricultural crop
of southeast Louisiana-cane-is
under the benefcient care of the
present tariff, voted for by both of
our senators, unable to pay living
wages? Should our cane growers
receive SIS ton for their cane
this year how much more will they
pay their cane cutters than was paid
them in 1914. I have the data for
that year. When the tenants that
succeeded the Miles Planting Com
pany at this place were asked to con-
tinue planting cane and guaranteed
So per ton, was fifty per cent less
than now. A gloomy outlook for
the growers of cane. Not so with
the refineries. Granulated sugar
now selling at near cents while
Louisiana raws are quoted at 3.70,
Consumers will have to pay more
than ten cents before March next.

Negro Lodged in Jail.

Ernest H. Barton, planter of Bar
ton, Ascension parish, appeared be-
fore Judge Edmund Maurin last
Saturday and made an affidavit
charging Charles Burns, negro, with
obtaining six dollars from him under
false pretenses. 1t appears that the
negro agreed to move on the St.
Emma plantation if Mr.. Barton would
advance him $6 to enable him to re-
trieve his household furniture from
his landlord. Mr.. Barton advanced
the money, but instead Of paying the
landlord, Burns lost the money play
ing "African golf" better known as
the great American game of ''craps.' -
Burns was arrested by town officer
Sidney Acosta and lodged in Jail. The
legal end Of the proposition will come
up before the next term of the district
court.

"Uncle" John On the Job.

"Uncle" John P. Forcha, the we'll
known cistern maker and house-mov-
er of this city was a visitor to The
Chief Office last Wednesday. "Uncle"
John reported that he had completed
the moving Of eight of the houses
in Faubourg la Pipe to make room for
the new levee, and would begin on
his ninth and last-the residence: of
John B. Martin-next Monday. He
says that the task was gigantic one
as all of the buildings were old and
heavily constructed, most of them
having brick and mortar walls, and
that in some cases the sills were in
bad condition, making the work more
difficult. He moved the eight houses
without hitch, and without accident
and mishap and he expressed the
opinion that except for the shaking
up which they received they were
none the worse as result Of the
moving and that they are now on
better foundations than they were
before.

On the affidavit of Louis B. Martin,
owner of the Bocage plantation
across the river. Anthony Taylor, a
colored resident of the barrow set
tlement, was arrested charged with
having unlawfully entered and tres
passed upon the plantation in VIOLA
tion of Act 1862 of 1910, despite the
fact that he was warned to keep
away. Martin claims that his place

soon had Taylor in custody. The ac-
cused was later released on an ap-
pearance bond and the case will come
