CRAZY NEGRO BREAKS
INTO GRAVES.
Great Excitement Caused
Monday Night.

Wake up! Wake up! Come out!
Such were the words with whicf
a poor crazed negro sought to arouse
from the deep sleep of death the
poor souls peacefully resting in their
graves in St. Peters Cemetery.
This happened on Monday night,
and caused quite commotion in the
vicinity of the grave yard.
1t seems that the negro, named
Solomon, had only come here from
New Orleans few weeks ago, al
though he has relatives here, and
had been here before on business.
Last Sunday he became mentally
unbalanced on the subject of religion,
and went about preaching to any
who would listen. He thought he had
been called by God to preach.
Probably the near approach OF
All Saints Day put it in to his de-
mented brain to visit the cemetery,
where he used an axe to break into
a number of graves. He would then
stick his head in and call on the de-
ceased to wake up and come forth.
The greatest damage was done q
the family tomb owned by Messrs.
P. D. Broussard and Oscar Brous-
sard. This tomb has four compart-
ments. The two upper ones, being
empty, were the ones Solomon broke
into He completely destroyed the
large marble slabs covering the
tombs. The lower compartments, oc-
cupied by the mother and an uncle
of Commissioner J. D. Broussard,
We're left unharmed.
While Solomon was still at his
crazy work he was captured and
landed in the parish jail. He will
probably be sent to an insane asy-
lum at an early date.

THREE MEN KILLED IN
TRAIN WRECK.
Providence Alone Prevents
Great Loss of Life.

Bright and early Tuesday morning
news was flashed into New Iberia
that there had been a terrible wreck
on the S. F. road near Adcline
Dozens Of autos rushed their oc-
cupants to the scene of the accident,
where crowd of a few hundred
quickly congregated. Great was the
relief to find that the situation,
though bad was not near so bad as
the first reports which were to the
effect that dozens of persons had
been killed
1t was at 3:l5 A. NJ, when train
No. 100 was speeding on its way
toward this city. Just in front of
this fast train was a long line of
40 or so cars belonging to the Wor-
than Street Carnival Company, run
ming in to show at Beaumont. Tho
Sells-Floto circus train was lust be-
hind No. 1O9.
At Adeline the Workman Show
train stopped to back over onto the
other track so that the passenger
could pass. Some misunderstanding
of signals or failure to properly pro-
tect the rear of the show train al
lowed the flying string of pullmans
to smash into the rear of the train
ahead.
Fortunately engineer Tanner, on
100, was able to cut his speed down
to about 25 miles an hour before
the smash, or the death roll would
have numbered many more. Engi-
neer Tanner, who is a brother Of
Mrs. George Henderson of this city,
is one of the best on this division,
and his record for carefulness makes
it seem that the error must have
been on the part of the fagman.
The passenger engine plowed clear
through one coach and badly splint-
cred several others. Three show men
were killed in their berths, and a
number of others badly injured. The
coroner of st. Mary Parish took the
dead to Franklin, and the injured
were taken to the Patterson Sani-
tarium for attention.

At II A. NJ. a long blast of the
City Power Plant whistle will be
sounded as signal for the minute
Of silent prayer for those who paid
the supreme sacrifice, for those com
rades who event West" After this
all of the whistles and bells of the
city will be sounded proclaiming the
glory of the peace that was declared
four years ago.
The deeds Of valor and of sacri
flee should be the theme of the ser
mons of the pastors of our churches
the Sunday before Armistice Day.
And finally, it is the hope Of Ibe-
ria Post No. a that every one will
lend their cooperation in making the
day a pleasure for all and the cele-
bration one that will not soon DC
forgotten.

FREAK TWIN PIGS ON AN
IOWA FARM.

VAIL, Iowa.-Siamese pig twins,
born on the Slechta farm near Vail
of a Duroc Jersey sow, have died,
after few days of life.
The pigs, joined together side by
side at the fore half of the body, had
eight legs, four ears, four eyes, but
only one mouth. Two legs were on
top of their backs and two OF the
ears were so grown together that
there was only one opening to the
ear drum.
Two of their eyes, though distinct
in shape, opened and closed as one
having only one eyelid. The jaws
were also grown together to make
one mouth and room for three nasal
openings.

You remember when your cars were

BY LAWRENCE REAMER.

Crane Wilbur came to the bat, as It
were. for the second time last night.
The scene was the Comedy Theater.
The weapon by which he sought to
conquer was Il Will If You WILL"
which was described as farce. But as
Mr.. Wilbur is the playwright of my
stery. the quality hovered in the back
ground. George Broadhurst presented
the play. which was staged in its en-
tirety. as the program mentioned. by
Mrs Trimble Bradley. The farce as

The mystery faded early. 1t con-
cerned the theft of a pearl necklace. If
it's disappearance had been made as diff
ficult TO understand in life as 1t was in
the play, the thief could have gotten
away with the Flatiron Building without
fear of detection. But 1t did depart soon
from view. What there was of farce
turned out to be something in the
earlier A. H. Woods bedroom period.
In vain a wife pleaded to be admitted
to the bedroom of the husband she had
just spurned. The inmate was not her
husband at all. He had to succumb,
however. to certain extent. SO they

Special Dispatch to TIE NEw York HERALD.

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 20.
In addition to being an issue in 100
Congressional districts where wet can
didates are seeking election on the
promise of modifying the volstead
law, prohibition will be factor in
countless local elections all over the
country as a result of agitation over
law enforcement.
This, of course. will have a bearing
on the general results, even though
the opposing candidates themselves
are not in conflict on the prohibition
issue. In a local way these law en-
forcement contests will serve to iden-
tify one party or the other, to some,
at least. as wet. 1t is anticipated,
therefore. the tendency of many voters
to vote against straight tickets will
have its effect in the general results.
Both the Republican and Democratic
national organizations in Washington
have been following this development
with interest and have tried to check
the inclination in some sections to mix
up the law enforcement issue with
straight party politics. Since local Of
fices---municipal, township and county
are involved. 1t has been possible to
make little headway.
Bitterness ON Both Sides.
In almost every section Of the coun-
try in 1920 dry enthusiasts. flushed with
victory In obtaining the Eighteenth
Amendment and the volstead law, set
about methodically to make sure of
proper enforcement. Wherever they
could, they put UP their own candidates
as prosecuting attorneys, judges and
mayors. In countless instances. through
able political maneuvering, they OBJ
tained the election Of these officials.
Then started the most vigorous en-
forcement OF the prohibition laws. local
and national In some places dry move
ment leaders stepped in and virtually
took charge of raids and prosecutions.
In many sections the condition has de-
veioped a constant turmoil. There has
been bitterness even to the extent Of
lawless retaliation-in some cases even
the throwing of bombs
II Is TtEpEHlZtu III w NdSHiIiE ltil tidt III
a great many cases the drys overstepped
themselves in law enforcement, con-
ducting raids which We're unwarranted
and giving color to the charges that
they were settling old scores with wet
opponents. Near beer saloons conducted
by onetime saloon keepers were con-
staatly under suspicion and were raided
even though there was no evidence that
intoxicants were sold.
There have been cases where half
point of whisky. hidden in the living
quarters of some OF these places for
private use, has been the basis for prose-
cution under the Volstead law. Colo
MES of foreigners who made their own
wine, for their own use and not for
sale. have been the targets OF repeated
raids resulting in heavy fines. One
case that has come to official attention
was that of two men who. when camp
ing. were swooped down upon by dry
agents. who found in their possession
a single quart of whisky. These men
were fined $500 each.
