JOSEPH M. SUPPLE
WELL KNOWN HERE
SHOT AND KILLED
Tragedy Occurs Sunday Night On
Returning From Motor Trip
With His Wife.

This community was shocked on
Monday when the report was circu
lated that Joseph M. Supple, wealthy
planterof Bayou Goula, section had
been shot and killed by watchman
at one of his warehouses on his plan
tation. The tragedy occurred Sun
day evening about $50 O'Clock when
he was returning home from a motor
trip.
According to statements given out
by members of the family Mr.. Sup
pie had been driving with his. wife
and father. Upon returning they
stopped opposite the warehouse on
the Katherine plantation, which is
part of the Supple holdings. Mr..
Supple wanted to see if shipment
of sugar which had been due to go
on one of the boats had been sent.
"Shortly after Mr.. Supple left us
we heard a shot and in another mo-
ment we saw him running toward US.
Suddenly he fell in the road. His
father and his wife rushed toward
where he lay and lifted his head.
AS they did he died.
Investigation showed the shooting
was purely accidental. Hall, the ne
gro watchman at the warehouse, was
asleep when Mr.. Supple approached
the warehouse. Mr.. Supple called
him, we now believe, and receiving
no reply, opened the door. AS he
did so the negro awoke. Startled
from his sleep he believed Mr.. Supple
was an intruder and he shot him. The
negro was almost crazy with grief
when he discovered his mistake and
Immediately surrendered.
"The negro had been working for
us several years and we have i'm
plicit faith in him. We know the
shooting was an accident
Mr.. Supplies death came almost on
the eve of the marriage of his sis
ter Miss Mary Eloise, whose we'd
ding to DR.. Henry Brown Of Okla
homa, was to have been one of the
most brilliant events Of the season
in this section.
Surviving Mr.. Supple are his wife,
who was Miss Gladys Locke, who
formerly lived in Donaldsonville, the
daughter Of J. W. Locke, and to
whom he had been married about
eighteen months, and his father.
The funeral was held Monday
afternoon at Bayou Goula and was
one of the largest ever held in that
section. He was laid to rest in the
Catholic cemetery at Bayou Goula
the bier being followed to the tomb
Of the family by hundreds Of mourn
ers. = zs7zs
The Chief, in common with hum
dreds Of friends of the deceased in
Donaldsonville extends it's heartfelt
sympathy to the widow and family of
Mr.. Supple who was so we'll known
in this city, and mourns the loss of
one taken in the prime Of life when

NEWSPAPER MAN
DECLARES K. K. X.
CONTROL STATE
e,anderous Article Creates Much Ex.
citement; Governor Parker De-
nies Alleged Facts.

Louisiana gasped last Sunday
morning when they read an article
in the Times-Picayune, written by
Rothwell Brown, special staff repre-
sentative Of the Washington Post,
and which also appeared in that
newspaper, in which the writer de-
clared that the Ku Klux Klan was
in full control of the general conduct
of government and affairs in Louisi-
ana, and that Governor Parker's visit
to Washington was for the purpose Of
securing federal aid looking to the
suppression of the activities of the
Klan in the state. The article was
long indictment on the good name
of Louisiana and a slanderous epistle
on the different civil officers and
the people of the state. After read
ing the article the people waited to
hear from Governor Parker, who was
due to arrive in Washington Monday.
Immediately upon reaching the
capital Governor Parker gave out
an interview in which he unqualified
Iy denied the allegations made in the
article written by Brown and he fol-
lowed this by directing a letter to the
Washington Post in which he said he
never saw the correspondent and in
sists that he never gave an inter-
view and declared that there was
only ten per cent of fact in the
sensational article which was spread
broadcast over the country and cal
culated to do Louisiana incalcuiable
damage. He intimated in his letter
to the Post that upon his return to
Baton Rouge he will make a full in
vestigation into the monstrously
false story and will attempt to hold
somebody responsible therefor.
On Tuesday in Congress, both in
the Senate and House, denials of the
allegations made in the story were
made by Senator Ransdell and Con-
gresham AsWel. The capital was
flooded with kilograms from citizens
and organizations of Louisiana ex-
pressing indignation and horror over
the affair, and calling on its repre-
sentatives to clear the fair name of
state
The story stirred up much excite
ment for few days with the press
of the country and kilograms were
sent to leading citizens and newspa-
per men from several metropolitan
journals asking for reliable informa-
ton. All answers declared that there
was nothing in the activities of the
Klan that even remotely resembled
the conditions depicted in the Post

TO SUCCEED HIMSEL r

ATLANTA, June 12.-James A.
Perry, member of the railroad COM
mission of Georgia, has issued his
formal announcement of candidacy
to succeed himself on the commits
sion, and says he is asking re-elec-
ton solely on the ground of con-
structive service rendered" In that
service, he says, he has at all times
originated and voted for those rates
and policies which have felt, in con-
tormity to the spirit of my oath and
duty were for the best interest and
greatest advantage to the whole com
munity interested" Mr.. Perry saws
there is as much injustice to the pub
he in rates which will retard growth
and progress, result in embarrass-
ment and lead to bankruptcy as there
Is IN a rate which is excessive and
an imposition upon the public.

GREAT OFFICIAL
WAR FILM HERE
Six Reels Of Newly Developed
And Released Action Pictures
To Be Shown Tuesday

Showing at the Rylander Theater
Tuesday is the new official French
and United States war film, "The
Great Adventure" This very in
teresting film, consisting of six reels,
is shown in Georgia for the first time,
it having been released but a few
days ago. 1t has been carefully as
sembled and edited in the labora-
tory of the war department from the
thousands of feet of undeveloped
negatives taken by official photogra-
pher in France during the progress
of the war. The scenes are entirely
new and striking ones, showing for
the first time such striking views as
the actual sinking of Allied vessels
by the famous German U-boat No.
"a in her memorable cruise early
during the summer of 1918, when
twenty-five large merchant vessels
were sent to the bottom of the ocean.
With the film is contained, too, the
first complete pictorial record CT the
battle of the Meuse-Argonne, and
the great number of Americas people
who last year attended the showing
of FLASHES of Action" will remember
the very thrilling and historical views
of the battle contained in that re-
markable film.
"The Great Adventure" deals with
the historical romance of the trans
portatiOn of over two million Ameri-
can soldiers to the European battle
front during the days of 1918. The
ultimate triumph of these same men
in the browning victory of the Ar
gonne; the pursuit into Germany, and
later President Wilson'S dramatic de-
parture for France are all very vivid
ly shown in this amazing film.
1.-The Great Adventure has been
released by the war department in re-
Spouse to the numerous requests of
Legion posts that these historical
and intensely interesting scenes be
shown to the American people so that
they might have an opportunity of
seeing for themselves the absorbing
drama of the World War in all its
stirring realities. Many of the scenes
being even more vivid than those be-
held by the individual combatant
whose eyes had never the range nor
the faculty of perception of the cam
era. Never again without another
war will the general public have an
opportunity of seeing pictures of
battle events which will live in his
tory One cannot afford to miss it.
