LOWER RATES ON GRAVEL.
Public Service Commission Order
Sustained by Court.

The order entered by the Louisi-
ana Public Service Commission some
time ago directing railroads to reduce
rates on gravel shipped for the con-
struction Of good roads or for NUM-
cipal streets was sustained in de-
cision handed down last week by the
three federal judges who heard the
case argued in the New Orleans dis
trict court on November 1.
On gravel for such public works
the state commission reduced the
rate 20 cents per ton, or 38 per mini

The court hearing the case consisted

not violating either the state or the
federal commission in naming low

RIG BARN DANCE
A GREAT SUCCESS
ON THANKSGIVING
Eullv Five Hundred People Take Part
in Big Event-Judge Le-
Blanc Speaks.

Fully five hundred people filled
with enthusiasm and merriment at
tended the big barn dance, which was
Given Thanksgiving night by the Don
9,}sonvillr Carnival Association at
the fair grounds. The event was
staged in the manufacturers building
and was pronounced by all who par
t;cipated as a 'huge success" From
q financial standpoint the affair was
all that could be desired, the gross
receipts being $217.05, while after
exnenscs are paid the dance will net
the association a good sum which will
he applied to the fund being raised to
rive Donaldsonvillc great carnival
next Mardi Gras day.
One of the outstanding features Of
the evening was the address deliver
ed by Judge Sam Leblanc of Napo-
lenovile The learned speaker, in a
most eloquent speech, dWelt on the
good which would be given the com
munity by a carnival. He also urged
more community spirit and declared
cooperation by all the people in any
event which was Of civic value was
necessary to create a thriving city;
that in too many cases the support
of some citizens was not obtained
because the idea of the project was
not original with him and thus self
ishness caused "knockers' instead Of
"boosters." Judge LeBlanc's address
was received with much applause by
the large crowd.
Several hundred couples enjoyed
the dancing during the evening, many
appearing in costume of overalls and
aprons. The huge hall was beautiful
" decorated with palmettos, moss
and plants. There were stalls in which
a donkey, geese and pigs were placed,
giving the building the appearance
of huge barn. On the outside
were cows and mules.
A prize calk walk dance was fea-
tured and number of very graceful
contestants appeared delighting the
spectators with their gyrations. Paul
Gisclard and Jos. Thiac were adjudg-
ed the most perfect Interpreters OF
the art of Terpsichore, receiving the
first prize which was a most deli
cious cake. Miss Garnet Aucoin and
Henry Kocke won the second prize,
a luscious lemon pie, and Miss Carrie
Schaff and Lowell Gisclard the third
prize, a fine jar of pickles. The prizes
were donated by Mrs. Victor Maurln.
The judges Of the dancing were Lam
ny Monteri, DR.. Leo J. Schoney and
Leonce Leblanc.
The members of the committee
having the affair in charge were con-
graduated on all sides for the perfect
arrangements and big success Of the
event. Their time and work is given
to the Carnival Association free of
charge, no member Of any Of the
committees receiving one cent for his
services.

ASK PROCLAMATION
TO DISBAND KHAN
Senator Walsh Wants President to
Follow Grants Example.

A suggestion was. made to Attor-
ney General Daugherty by Senator
Walsh of Massachusetts,, that Presi-
dent Harding issue proclamation
calling on the Ku Klux Klan to dis
band. He offered as a precedent the
proclamation issued by President
Grant shortly after the civil war in
which the Klan of that day was asked
to cease activities.
The Massachusetts senator sent to
the attorney general letter from a
former district attorney of Western
state declaring study of legal prac
tices had convinced him there was
'ample authority for the president to
issue a proclamation directing the
khan to disband within a certain
time"
The former district attorney,
whose name was not disclosed, also
suggested that section Of the penal
code forbids conspiracy to deny any
citizen Of rights guaranteed under
the constitution, and penalties the
use Of a disguise in public to further
such a conspiracy. The khan as an
organization should be charged with
conspiracy in the federal courts, to-
gether with such of it's members
whose identity is known to various
district attorneys, he asserted.
Another letter sent to the attorney
general by Mr.. Walsh was from "a
leading attorney in Texas" who enum
Grated a large number Of outrages
in Texas alleged to have been COM
mitted by members of the khan, in
Guiding 500 tar and feather parties
and whipping cases not to mention a
number of homicides, assaults and
other offenses.
The writer said that so far as he
knew, none of those responsible for
the outrages had been brought to JUS
tice and asserted that Gin so many
Of the counties and cities the officials
belong to the organization"
Senator Walsh told Mr. Daugherty
he expects immediate and aggressive
action ''by your department. in this
matter"

ORLEANS PRAISES
CAT AND CANARY
Overflow Audiences Witness Great
Comedy in Crescent City.

| "The Cat and the Canary" the great
farce comedy which is billed at Thea
tire Wilbert in Plaquemine next Mon
day. night, December 4, completely
Icaptured the asaBssernent lovers in
New Orleans wheresit was the bill on
the boards Of the Tulane theatre this
week. In criticising the play c. S.
Stith, the critic for the New Orleans
Item says:
"The Cat and the Canary" was the
magnet which drew an overfowing
audience to the Tulane theatre Sun
day night when it began weeks en-
gagement at that playhouse.
"The Cat and the Canary" has
been running in New York for about
two years and it has been called "the
most exciting play ever written"
1t is a mystery play with great
streaks of farce and comedy running
through it. AS mystery play, s"The
Bat" was a young ladies' seminary
charade compared to "The Cat and
the Canary" and as one of the
characters in the piece would say, "on
the other hand" it's as funny as any
farce produced in this decade.
There is very little modulation to
the play-it's either tense or comic
all the time. And the creepiness Of
it is all the more effective because it
is contrasted with the comedy and the
comedy is also given impetus because
Of the same reason.
"The Cat and the Canary is a
much better play than "The Bat"
better constructed and more plausible
Many of the characters in "The
Bat" do a lot of foolish and illegal
things just to fool the audience and
attract suspicion toward them. But
John Willard, who wrote "The Cat
and the Canary never stoops to any
of these tricks. The audience is al
ways in his confidence and although
the most astute would never guess the
ending, still it all seems plain when
the denouement comes.
The play is interesting from the
moment the curtain rises until the
end. 1t is admirably conceived and
finely carried out. All of the scenes
take place on a semi-darkened stage
and this adds to the atmosphere of
mystery.
The Kilbourn Gordon Inc, is the
sponsor for the play, it is acted by
a cast adequate in every detail and
it is also we'll staged.
The play constitutes three hours of
unceasing entertainment with plenty
of thrills and a laugh to match every
one Of them.

Alphonse Dodier Dies.

Alphonse Dodier, age 7e year, a
native of St. Charles parish, but q
resident of Donaldsonville for the
past few years, died suddenly early
Sunday morning at his residence at
the Allen Brick yard. Mr.. Dodier
appeared to have been in good health
until about week before his death,
when he suffered an attack Of dengue
fever, and it was from this disease
with complications to which his death
is attributed. The body of deceased
was taken to Plaquemine, where the
funeral services were held Sunday
afternoon. Mr.. Dodier was manager
of the Allen Brick yard at the time
of his death and was held in high
esteem by his employers and all who
knew him. He was a most capable
man in his occupation and had held
his position as manager for the past
two years. He is survived by one
son and four daughters, none OF
whom live in this city.

A story appearing in the Los Ange-
les Times last week declares that
Charlie Chaplin, motion picture come

while Miss Negri denied herself to in
reviewers.
The comedian is said to have met
the tragedienne first when he toured

her company.
There have been many reports in

of Mildred Harris, screen actress.
Miss Negri is Polish countess.
