CLAIM FOR S473,487
DAMAGES ON TRIAL

AS it was impossible for attorneys
in the damage suit of William H.
Ward against the Orleans Levee
Board for $473.7S6 to produce a sec
ton of the river bank in court, Judge
Columbus Reid did a "Mahomet to
the mountain" stunt Monday morn
ing and took the court to the scene
of the litigation.
Leaving the courthouse, the jury
was loaded into a sightseeing bus,
while court clerks. criers, attorneys,
newspapermen and others trailed in
various nondescript conveyances TO
Algiers.
The suit is for damages resulting
land used by Ward as a sawmill and
lumber mill site. The land lies along
Patterson street, between Lavergne
and Verret streets. The Levee Board
placed an inward U-shaped levee at
the point, leaving the Ward property
on the river side of the levee.
Judge and jury were shown over
the sawmill, and they were taken to
the immigration station to what was
declared to be a standard levee.
Returning to II, courthouse. the
trial settled down TO what promised
to be a long technical fight. Mr..
Ward was placed on the stand. Over
hundred photographs tending to
illustrate the damage ensuing from
the appropriation were introduced.
Mr.. Ward testified that earnings OF
his sawmill increased from $4,000
to $4,000 yearly before the property
was taken by the Board. His attor-
neys contend the leyee could have
been placed on the outside OF his
plant.
The case, was begun Friday, and
owing to the importance of the case
Judge Reid suggested it might be
best for the jury to view the scene
of the case they were to decide.
The claim is based upon use OF the
land where the Ward Lumber Com
nany's sawmill formerly stood, by
the Levee Board for erection OF a
levee. The amount is asked as dam
ages for seizure of the land and for
loss of the earnings from the saw
mill.
A history of the land involved was
cited by attorneys for Ward at the
beginning of the trial Friday, begin
ming with it's purchase by one LOUIS
Borepo from the king of SPAN IN
1870 through eighteen subsequent
purchases which ended with pup'
chase by Ward.

Marriage Editor, The Herald:


In answer to your letter inquiring
SIS Marriage a failure" will say,
The average American man does not
find fault with marriage. II his wife
is reasonable he usually takes mar
riage and it's responsibilities as he
finds them and makes the best of
them.
There is endless advice available
for young people as to whom, when'
and where they shall marry, but
young men and women continue to
marry the one they love, or think
they love. as soon as they possibly
can. Schools and parents should in
still into the minds and hearts OF
youth a reverence for marriage as
a sacred institution to be entered
into with at least as much serious
elaboration as would be given a
business contract. Marriage is a
spiritual contract and a business
contract also.
There is nothing the matter with
marriage itself. What is wrong Is
our attitude towards 1t. Gameness
stick-to-it-iveness, spirit OF fair
play is admired everywhere, except
in marriage. There the disgruntled
mate at once refuses to play the
game when he is displeased. Nobody
expects anything different. There
the trouble lies.
