DONNAUD BENTLEY Publishers and Proprietors Official Journal of Ascension Parish, Town of Do.aldaonville and Parish School Board SATURDAY. JANUARY 28, 1911 A crying nuisance: Somebody else's baby:. What's in a namne? "Seven Days."run ning at the New Orleans Tulane this week, is not a weak comedy. Not content with pulling off badger fl.hts and cock fights. Monroe is now venting its sporting proclivities in a red hot Democratic city committee fight. First round for Forsythl Advocates of universal peace will he vastly encouraged by the fact that the *Democratic dinner at Baltimore on Jack s.m Day and the caucus of Democratic n.embers of the next congress at Wash ington both passed off without a fight. Does this presage the dawn of the mil lenium or only the calm that precedes a big storm? If New Orleans gets the Panama Canal exposition we will all know where to be stow the credit. Says the St. Helena Echo: "Mrs. Holland received a letter from her son, Wilson S. Holland, written from Washington city. where he is a mem her of a committee from the trades union of New Orleans working in the interest of the exposition. He writes like he had the thing by the tail and a downhill pull." Oh, the ingratitude of republicsl Alas, the insufferable tyranny of Democratic maiorities! Congressman Robert F. Brous~ sard--everybody's "Cousan Bob"-has been metaphorically spanked and incon tinently kicked off the ways and means committee by his fellow Democrats merely because he posed as a Democrat in Louis iana and voted as a Republican in Wash ington. Are such things to be borne in silence? Shades of Sam Randall and Sam McEnery forbid! Beware the ides of 1912! Chairman R. J. Chauvin and Secretary F. L. Trepagnier of the Democratic City Executive Committee have issued a call for a meeting of that body to be held at the courthouse on Saturday, Feb. 4. at 10 o'clock a. m.. for the purpose of ordering a ptimary election to nominate candidates of the Democratic patty for municipal of fices, to be voted for at the regular bi-en nial election to be held on Saturday, May 6, 1911. The m;eeting of the committee will mark the formal opening of the municipal campaign, and will in all prob ability be followed by some interesting developments and announcemepts. Thomas Landry, a succesful sugar planter and well-known citizen of upper Assumption, has purchased from Jas. S. Barman the residence property at the cor ner of Iberville and Lafourche streets, in this city, and will shortly remove to Dn aldsonville with his family. Mr. Landry recently disposed of his Elmira plantation on the east bank of Bayou Lafourche, in the rear of Plattenville, for a consideration of $14,000. It is his intention to estab lish a first-class transfer and dray servicei ihr this city, and as there seems to be quite a promising field for the develop ment of an enterprise of this kind the success of the project is practically as sured from the outset. The Chief takesi pleasure in welcoming Mr. Landry and his estimable family to Donaldsonville. and wishes this worthy citizen a liberal measure of success in his business venture and unbounded happiness in his new home. Historic Building Being ng Demolished. The old Catholic church building in Mishissippi street, one of the community's most ancient and historic landmarks, is being torn down, pursuant to a suggestion made by Archbishop J. H. Blenk, who on the occasion of his recent canonical visi tation to this city advised that the struc ture be either renovated or demolished, since in its then state it wvas of no practi cal use and was a detri rsent to the prop erty in the neighborhood. The cypress rafters and sills of the building are said to be in a remarkable state of preserva tion, as is usually the case with material ,f this kind taken from buildings erected in the good old days of long ago. This lumber, together with the bricks of wiich the walls and towers of the church are built, will be used in the construction of an annex to St. Joseph's Commercial In stitute, the well-known educational inti tution conducted in this city by the Irothers of the Sacred Heart. The old Catholic church was erected nearly 100 years ago, and was in active uise as a house of worship up to 1896, when the new church was completed and dedicate.. Since that datethe old church has been used as a location for the an nal Catholic fairs and formerly as a : eeting place for the local Knights of Co I mbus council, but the great storm of I 09 damaged the ancient structure to a eansiderable extent and rendered its i :ther occupancy out of the question -v.rhout extensive repairs being made . ; there were no funds available for this p .rpose, it was deemed best to demolish 4 building and utilize as much of the r . .terial as possible in the construction of ,t; proposed annex to St. Joseph's Insti Msita. EXPC TTlON (ONTP'T TO AF T IkEOlyth) TU 4ifbAY. Announcement comes from Washing ton that the question as to whether the C proposed Panama exposition of 1915 is to be held at New Orleans or San Francisco will be voted on by the lower house of congress next Tuesday, the 31st instant, and the supporters of both cities profess confidence that the result will be a victory for their side of the contention. The house committee on industrial arts and expositions has made a strong majority report in favor of New Orleans C as the logical point for the big show, nine of the fifteen members signing this report. The other six members of the committee t have signed a minority report favoring San Francisco, and it is on the issue raised by these opposing documents that the house will give its decision. New Orleans has maintained a tactical advantage from the inception of the strug gle before congress, and several attempts on the part of the San Francisco mana gers to steel marches and complicate the parliamentary status have been skillfully t met and checkmated, hence in the event t New Orleans loses out there can be no reasonable complaint that her cause has not been ably defended. The Louisiana metropolis ought to be chosen as the exposition site, and we shall not forego confidence in her -success until there is no further room for hope or doubt, but in view of the powerful inflo ences being brought to bear for San Fran cisco, it is well not to be cocksure of the outcome. It is also well to bear in mind that New Orleans can far better affurd to lose the exposition than can San Fran cisco. The Pacific coast is greatly over built, with a vast number of empty hotels. residences and business houses. New Or leans is in no such condition, and her proximity to the canal assures her of a large share of the benefits to arise from its construction, even though she may be denied the privilege of conducting the ex position which is to commemorate the achievement. WMl. ADLER AGAIN CONVICTED. The second trial of William Adler for misapplication of the funds of the late State National Bank, of which he was president, was concluded in the United States district court at New Orleans on V January 20, and the jury brought in a verdict of guilty on eighty counts. It was quite generally thought the outcome would be either a mistrial or an acquittal, hence p the accused and his friends were greatly taken aback by the contrary result. Thu jury was out less than two hours, which indicated that there were no serious dif ferences of opinion among them as to the y proper finding in the case. e District Attorney Charlton R. Beattie a and National Bank Examiner J. M. Logan conducted the prosecution in a masterly g manner and were more than a match for the array of iminent counsel employed by the defense. Attorney General Wicker r sham telegraphed his congratulations to r Messrs. Beattie and Logan, and many similar assurances of appreciation and commendation were tendered the able n young district attorney from other sources. Mr. Adler is at large on an appearance f bond of $40,000, and it is to be presumed ' his attorneys will exhaust every legal 2 right and expedient to save him from the Sigmnimitr f men-as t. Thefirst step - will doubtless be to move for a new trial, e and when this is overruled an appeal e taken to the United States circuit Court ol appeals will be next in order. It will be recalled that shortly Derore the failure of the State National Bank in 1907, Mr. Adler chartered a steamship, loaded it with merchandise and sailed for Central America. The ship was. wrecke(! off the coast of Honduras, but the crew were rescued and reached Beltt isaf ety' After remaining nearly a year in *aa duras and Nicaragua, where he had ex tensive mining interests, Adler returned to New Orleans, was tried and convicted receiving a sentence of six yqgs' confine ment in the federal prison at At1dpta. The circuit court set aside the verdict or appeal, and this encouraged the belief of the accused and his friends-that he would go scot free or at least escape UOplvictiun on a second trial. His downfall is at tributed to speculation in railroad and mining stocks, and it is conceded that he saved nothing from the wreck of his financial fortunes. GONDRAN THEATRE W. E.
