PROTESTS LAWS DELAYS.
Trials Slow in New Orleans
Desoite Increase in Judges.

Despite the fact that the judges
If the criminal district court of New
Orleans. were increased by the con-
stitution Of 1921 from two to five
and the court costs vastly more to the
taxpayers now than it did then, the
enlarged court does not seem to have
had the contemplated effect, Of AZ
peditiur the administration Of jus.
tice, Judging from the following let
ter written by Martin H. Manion, a
New Orleans attorney, to r. H. Mari,
district attorney Of that city,
II am writing you in the interest
Of Mr.. S. W. Jones respecting the
apparently endless procrastination in
brinping to trial Jesse Porter, who
is charged with having shot Mr.. Jones
on the 31st of August 1921.
"This man Porter is charged with
shooting with intent to kill. It ap-
pears to me that it is case Of de-
liberate attemnt to murder without
anv prevocation whatsoever or SEM
blance of excuse Mr.. Jones says that
he has made repeated efforts by way
Of pleas to the Assistant Ditrict Attor-
ncy to have the accused tried, and
that the trial has been postponed for
various and sundry reasons. He now
tells me that one Of the principal wit
ncsses has left the city. If the trial
is continuously postponed in future as
it has been in the past, Mr. Jones
will find himself without any witness
es, resulting in the acquittal Of the
accused.
s'If men who are charged with de-
liberately attempting the life Of an
other are not brought to trial in a
years time and made to suffer for
their offenses, we are quite apt to
have a continuation Of the numerous
daily holdups, robberies, burglaries,
etc, of which today's papers give a
glowing account.
"While on this matter, avail my
self of the opportunity to say that
know of another case. A man is
charged with murderously assaulting
a Mr.. Deforneaux. The accused is
today absolutely free although he held
up Mr.. Deforneaux and a friend at
the point of a pistol, and so badly
wounded Mr.. Deferneaux by assault
ing the latter on the back of the
head, that Mr. Deferneaux will bear
marks thereof the balance of his life
He has not even been tried.
Il, as citizen, have right to
protest against these occurrences
and | do so most vigorously to you,
the prosecuting officer Of the par
ish of Orleans"

GETS BULK OF CUBAN SUGAR
Most of Islands Raw Crop import
ed Through New Orleans.

The importations of raw sugar
from Cuba through the port of New
Orleans, during the fiscal year
1921-l922 amounted to 261, ,691 tons,
and placed that city far in the lead
of other American cities, according
to figures compiled by the Cuban
consulate.
The table shows there were export
ed from ports of Cuba during the
twelve months prior to July, 1922, a
total of 3,272,132 tons. Ports north
of Cape Hatteras received 1,362,011
tons; Europe 501,821 tons, other
ports of South America $4,000 tons
and Canada 76,905 tons. China and
Japan received 68,465 tons.
According to information received
at the Cuban consulate, there are
|standing orders from Euroe for large
quantities of raw sugar produced
from the present crop, the remainder
Of which will scarcely total 100000
tons after orders have been filed.
On June 80 the average price paid
the Cuban producer was three anc
three-quarter cents per pound. TAX
ing into consideration the fiuctua

months raw sugar brought ON al
laverage of three cents per pound :

TO GET WINE AND BEER.
League Formed to Repeal Volstead
Act and Stop Sale of Poison.

A definite step to bring about a
modification Of the dry law so as to
permit the manufacture and sale Of
wine and beer, was taken up a few
days ago by the Sanity League of
America, which has its headquarters
in San Francisco. Crawford H. Ell
lis, Urban Koen, Martin Behrman,
Samuel Zemurray and G. 3. Baldwin
all of New Orleans, will represent
the Louisiana department of the lea
que. The aim Of the organization
is to get up a giant petition to pre-
sent to Congress demanding such
modification of the dry law as will
be expressive of the will of a majori-
ty of the people Of the nation.
The league does not, desire nor
will it encourage the return of the
saloon. In its platform, it sets forth
that the Volstead act as it stands
cannot be enforced; that the country
is being flooded with spurious and
poisonous liquors which, since prohibi-
tion, has brought sickness and death
to thousands. Attempts to enforce
the act, it points out have proved a
travestys while the government is
spending $10O,000,0O0 annually in
trying to enforce law which the
great majority of the people do not
want enforced.
The league hopes to enroll vast
army Of anti-prohibitionists in every
state. Men of national prominence
compose the advisory board of the
national organization, among them
being Congressman Julius Kahn anC
John I. Nolan, of California.

A New Life Prolonger.

Horsepower serum has replaced
monkey glands as a restorer of youth
Discovery of the latest invigorator,
which is said to prolong human life
beyond $50 years, was made by DR..
Henri Saphlinger, Swiss scientist
whose serum and vaccine treatment
for tuberculosis has made his name
we'll known throughout the world.
1t requires from one to four years
to produce the pep prolonger and
seven horses are needed for the man
ufacture of one complete treatment.
A business associate of Saphlinger's
a man of years, writes his testimonial
of the longevity lotion to the Daily
Express: "The injections make me
feel strong as lion. They give me
an abundance of stimulation a marvel
Gus fund of energy. l have never
felt the faintest reaction from the
treatment" According to other asso-
ciates of Saphlinger, who have also un-
der treatment, the horsepower serum
imparts the look Of youth to the face
as well as giving trob and vigor to
the body. They say that the lines
and creases of age are smoothed out
so marvelously that death seems "a
ridiculous impossibility.

SITE In ST. BERNARD
Outlet Into Lake Borgue 5000 Feet
Wide Recommended.

In a report made to the Safe River
Committee of 100 by it's sub-commit-
tee of engineers, a site on the east
bank of the Mississippi river, about
six miles below New Orleans is Sc
lected for the first prospective spill
way.
The project embraces IAN outlet
5000 feet in width, to be built OF
concrete, and to cost between 3d.
OOO,OO0 and $4,000,00O. It would be
five miles long and empty into Lake
Borgne, with subsequent flow into
Mississippi Sound which is a part of
the Gulf. A line of ten-foot levees
protected with concrete would be con-
structed on the banks of the spill
way.
Two other prospective locations
were considered by the sub-commit-
tee, both being rejected for Violet
channel. One was above the city
with an overflow into Lake Pontchar-
train, rejected because of the fear
that the lake level would rise and
endanger a part of New Orleans.
The other was a west bank outlet,
discarded because of the length OF
channel necessary and the slow flow
of water direct to the gulf.
The Lake Borgne project, the
committee estimated, would flow
$50, 900 feet per second at stage OF
81 feet in New Orleans, but would
begin flowing at a stage of sixteen
feet. 1t would keep the river from
coming within four feet of what
would otherwise he the peak at New
Orleans.
The renort is to be discussed by
| the Safe River Committee at the time
Of the visit here of General Lansing
H. Beach, chief of the army enGl-
neers. 1t was drafted by committee
composed of J. P Kemper, Professor
W. B. Gregory, Allison, Owen Hamp-
ton Reynolds, and John klorer the
latter being chairman.
The committee recently visited the
St. Bernard area and also studied the
extent and effects of the Poydras
crevasse. Their report exhaustively
treats of the prospective value of the
spillway.

WANTS HAYNES REMOVED.
Maryland Representative Asks thas
Prohibition Officer Be Ousted.
New Patterns now. ON Display

Representative Hill of Maryland
has written letter to Secretary of
the Treasury Mellon, demanding the
removal of Prohibition Commissioner
Haynes, on the gound that he is US
ing official government mail franks
to distribute political propaganda in
favor of dry candidates, and neglect
ing the duties of his office and max
ing speeches in favor of himself and
the Anti Saloon league throughout
the United States. This is the sec
ond request made by MFR. Hill for the
removal of Haynes. The letter reads
as follows:
"I am a candidate for reelection,
Mr.. Hill said in his letter to Secre-
|tary Mellon, "and Prohibition Com
missioner Haynes is using money de-
rived from taxes of which [ person
|ally pay part for personal propa-
ganda against me and those who in
accordance with our sworn duty are
advocating a modification of the abb
|surd and tyrannical Volstead act.
II invite your attention ALSO to the
fact that my charges against Com
missioner Haynes made to you in a
leLtci uaIeu May 10, I9AAs HttFt Hoe
charged Commissioner Haynes with
the official approval of the applica-
ton of lynch law to the suppression
of liquor violations, in that he Off
cially issued and approved the fol
lowing bulletin from his office:
'Juries are returning more con-
vlctions and courts are not only ad-
ministering severer sentence but
some judges are resorting to stern
measures in their effort to stamp out
bootlegging. For instance after
Charles Chaussard had pleaded
guilty of liquor violation at Pitts
burg, Kan, Judge A. J. Curran, sale
to him: If any more violations art
reported in your home, viii have
the house burned
Il also, on May 20, called to youl
attention the fact that in Louisville
KY, on May II, Commissioner Hay
nes said shooting on the publi'
highways is trivial matter whel
compared with the vast task Of en-
forcing the national prohibition
laws"

State Park Association.

A state park association will be
at a convention to be held
in New Orleans in November. The
call for the convention will be issued
by the Park and Parkway Extension
Committee of New Orleans, of which
DR.. W. Scheppergrell is chairman, and
Harold J. Neale SECRETARY. All per-
sons interested in park and parkway
development will be welcome to the
convention. "Louisiana is only now
realizing the very great value OF
state parks" said DR.. Scheppergrell
"Other states have made great head
way in this respect, and have develop
ed many beauty spots. Along ths
routes of many of our highways pro
jects there are places of natural beau
ty which can easily be secured TO
park purposes if we start to work OF
them now. A state park association
with large membership representa-
tive of every parish and communit
in the state can accomplish worl
of good. Such an organization wi
be formed, at the New Orleans cor
lvention in November"

MAP OF LOUISIANA.
u. S. VIII Aid III Making Topographi
cal and Geological Survey.

Despite Tie fact that Louisiana has
been settled by the white race for
nearly $50 years, there is not in
cal or geological map of the state.
:, Attempts have been made from time
to time in both directions and excel
lent work has been done, in some of
the parishes, but there has never been
a completed map OF either sort.
For some time past M. L. Alexan-
der, commissioner of conservation,
with the approval of Governor Park
er, has been negotiating with DR..
George Otis Smith, chief Of the bu
reau of geological survey, to take up
systematically q general Topographic
cal survey of the state. Mr.. AIexan-
der having induced the United States
bureau to cooperate and bear half
the expense the work will begin Oct
ober |.
The work will be of Importance to
engineers in the building of high
ways, in the further development of
the oil and gas industries and other
rdesources of Louisiana, and of
prime interest to the farmers of the
state.
One detail will be the establish
ment of bench marks along both rail
roads and wagon roads, and this will
assist engineering work throughout
the state. There are many bench
marks everywhere in Louisiana at
present, but not all of them are accu-
rate, and some are difficult to find.
In levee work, the state board of
engineers have been compelled to es-
tablish their own bench marks, be-
cause they could not rely on those
already in existence.
A work of the first Importance in
this connection will be the establish
ment by the Department of Conserva-
tion of geological survey, to make
a closer survey of all the resour-
ces of the state, and to encourage
their development.

Acting upon a charge made by
Representative Gilbert L. Dupre of
St. Landry parish, Attorney Gener-
al A. V. Coco has filed suit in the dis
trict court at Crowley to oust c. L..
Chappuis, representative from Acadia
parish from the position which he
holds as a member of the Legislature.
r;lc action was begun following the
..harge made at the state capital re-
Gently by Mr.. Dupre, that Mr.. Chap
oius had been traveing over the Gulf
Coast lines on free transportation
furnished by the company. The petit
ton recites that Mr.. Chappius jour
nayed between his home and Baton
Rouge on passes during the sessions
of the Legislature in 1920, 1921 and
1922, in violation of Section Is OF
Article 10 of the constitution, and
is sufficient grounds for ousting Mr..
Chappius from the law-making body:
Mr.. Chappius accepted service and
waived citation but reserved the
benefit of legal delays, exceptions
and other defenses. 1t is said that

isiana Fair, October 7 to Is
The high standard of the canning
done by girls who have entered their
work at the fair will be surprise to
many women who see the exhibit
Instructions in canning club-work is
so thorough that no girl can complete
her course of training without full
knowledge of the work. All canning
will be done by the cold pack method
More than $4,000 children are act
lively engaged in canning club work
in the country this year, according to
figures just compiled by the Depart
ment of Agriculture. Canned prod
|ucts worth more than $3.50, 100000
will be put up by them. Poultry and
|garden club work are the only two
projects in which more boys and girls
are entered. These two have larg-
er membership because boys as we'll
as girls, are so interested in them.
Canning is much more popular than
ands of demonstrations that have
been put on by girls who have excell-
ed in their work. Many improved
types of sealers, jars and Gamers
have been perfected to making can
ming profitable in the home. The
methods of canning introduced by
club work have been printed in many
languages and distributed all over
the world.
Any boy or girl interested in ex-
hibiting at the fair may learn all
about the rules and prizes by getting
in touch with W. C. Abbott, Baton
Rouge, La, who is superintendent of
this department, or R. S. Vickers, sec

BUSINESS MEN TO HELP FAIR.
Promise Cooperation in Efforts to
Hold Down Costs.

At a meeting held in the Elks'
home Sunday which was attended by
a number of the business men and
other prominent citizens of Donald
sonville, and presided over by Mayor
JOS. Gislard, the fullest cooperation
and support was promised the officials
of the South Louisiana Fair Associa-
ton in their efforts to reduce the ex-
pense of operating the tenth annual
show and exhiih ii which he
|held October 7 to Is, inclusive.
A statement presented by Seere-
tary-manager r. S. Vickers showed
that $11,11O.80 had already been
saved in the budget of 1922 as COM
pared to that of 1921, without in any
wav curtailing the attractiveness and
drawing power of the fair or lessen1
ing it's value as an educational lnstl--
| tuition. This reduction is represented
principally by the elimination for this
year of all new building construction
and the cutting down Of repairs and
maintenance and general expenses to
minimum.
In order to still further reduce ex-
penses especially with regard to the
Iemplovment of ticket takers, gate
men, and clerks during the eight days
of the fair, number of citizens pres
ent at the meeting volunteered their
services for one or more days of the
fair. while others rendered the ser
vices of their employees and in Ger
tain cases some who were unable
themselves to serve even offered to
nv the cost of employing substitutes:
4 splendid spirit of cooperation ana
harmony prevailed which assures the
financial success of the coming far.

THE SUCCESSFUL FARMER.
He Observes and Profits by the Fail
urcs of His Neighbors.

Farming today is not what it used
to be many years ago. Then crops
were produced with little effort and
no difficulty, today, with vastly I'M
proved equipment, there are many
problems to overcome and success IS
achieved only as result of hard
work and close scientific application.
The following article on the subject
ID taken from Farm and Ranch:
The man who is quick to observe
the successes and failures of his
neighbors and takes the time to
study the reasons therefor stands a
better chance of conducting his farm
along profitable lines than he who
follows the methods Of father and
grandfather without taking into con-
sideration changed conditions. Grand
pa was probably good farmer in
his day, but the chances are he had a
virgin soil and was not pestered with
insects as is the farmer of today.
Again, the science of agriculture and
stock raising has madesprogress. To
say that it has not is libel on
every man engaged in it. Farmers of
today have many advantages in the
way of machinery unknown to their
fathers. On the other hand, they
must contend with imported insects
and with soil, in many sections, that
has been robbed Of much of its fer
hlity. Modern problems would have
proved insurmountable to our fore
fathers because of the lack of equip
ment and knowledge. In those days
the man who failed in town WAS al
most sure of making living by going
to the farm. Today the man who
tails on the farm has Il better chance
In town, provided, Of course, he Sc
cures job under a competent boss.
Keeping your eyes OPEN not only
IS an injunction to observe the work
Of other farmers, but is comprehen-
sNe enough to include the reading of
good farm journals and bulletins sent
OUT by the various departments OF
agriculture and agricultural colleges
JUST because editors write and pro-
Iessors publish bulletins does not mean
taat they are merely book farmers
gwen over to theories. A good agri-
cultural Journal merely publishes the
experience Of others who have made
success In farming or livestock rails
my ana makes available i to its read

your bank notes are worth their face
value or are raised.
The warning was issued Monday
morning, by Graham c. Willis, chle1
of the secret service for the New Or

Cause of Appendicitis.

When the bowels are constipated
the lower bowels or large intestines
become packed with refuse matter,
that is made up largely of germs.
These germs enter the vermiform ap-
