A Crowley Frenchman Doos Hie
FbrL
Crowley, La.: Twenty-two chil-
dren is the record that Ozeme Tra-
han, a well-known French farmer of
Arcadia Parish, has to flaunt in the
face of those who are crying aloud
the evils of race suicide. The size
of Mr. Trahan’s family developed a
family meeting which was called for
the purpose of dividing equally all of
his worldly goods among his chil-
dren. All of the children are not
by the same mother, Mr. Trahan
having been married twice.
Damage Suit Industry.
Fort Worth: A statement compiled
by one of the railway lines in this
State shows the amount of personal
injury claims paid out by the railway
lines in Texas for the last fifteen
years, ending June 30, 1905, which
xmounts to $13,226,163. The larges:
amount paid during any one year of
this period was for one year ending
June 30,1903, when the personal in-
jury claims amounted to $1,937,128.
Hill Didn't Vote Road Tax.
Hillsboro: The election in Hill

to levy a special road tax of fifteen
cents on the one hundred dollars was
defeated by a vote of eight or ten to

boxes was forty-two for and two hun-
dred and ninety-eight against. Re
ports from the county indicate that
much larger odds are against.
St. Petersburg: At the inquest on
the body of Father Gapon, which
was found May 13 in an upper
chamber of a lonely village in the
summer suburb of Ozerki, Finland,
M. Margolin and others positively
identified, the body. The autopsy
showed he had received a blow on
the head and the theory is that rev-
olutionists were listening in an ad-
joining room and heard Gapon be-
tray his connection with the govern-
ment and that Putenberg, the Ter-
- rorist leader, who is said to have
lured Gapon to his death, rushed in
and felled him to the floor, and aft-
erwards hanged him.

The First Meeting Is Very Tame
and Quiet
SL Petersburg, May 11.—Without
a single hitch and with only a min-
er incident to mar the memorable
day, the Russian Parliament was in-
augurated yesterday. The weather
was superb and the stage manage-
ment of the impressive ceremony at
the Winter Palace, where Emperor
Nicholas, surrounded by courtiers
and all the pomp and panoply of
power, delivered the speech from the
throne to the members of the two
houses, was perfect. Such a spec-
tacle perhaps never before has been
witnessed </n the earth’s stage.
The message in reality was less
a throne speech than a greeting and
required only three minutes for its
delivery. Emperor Nicholas read
slowly. The admirable and even cor-
dial tone of the sovereign in renew-
ing his pledges and asking the co-
operation of Parliament for the re-
generation of the country was only
partially satisfactory.
Courtiers and spectators other
than members of the National Par-
liament led the cheering, but the
members were ominously silent, ex-
pressing neither approval nor disap-
proval. What rankled most was the
failure of the Emperor to mention
amnesty and later when the mem-
bers assembled in the Tauride Pal-
ace, away from the spell of the
throne room, many of them with
difficulty were restrained from pre-
cipitating matters by offering reso-
lutions on the subject. The Consti-
tutional Democratic leaders, how-
ever, who dominated everything,
were anxious not to weaken the re-
ply which the lower house will pre-
pare to the speech from the throne,
in which issues with the crown will
be joined, and succeeded in staving
off premature action.

Austin, Texas, May 16.—Thu
suite of the State against the Fort
Worth Live Stock Exchange for
$17,000,000 penalities and for for-
feitures will be tried on June 4.
This was the result of an agreement
reached yesterday between the at-
torneys for the State and the Stock
Exchange.
It was agreed that the exchange
should have ample time to prepare
answers and file them in court, and
the State time to make reply to
them. As a result the conference
came to the agreement that the ex-
change shall file its trial answers in
court not later than May 28 and that
the cases will be called for trial June
4. The attorneys for the exchange
suggested that the cases go over
for the term, but the State, through
Special Assistant Attorney General
Lightfoot, insisted upon a trial as
early as possible, with the results
stated.
The Stock. Exchange will likely
file its general demurrer and general
denials in the meantime, but the an-
swers embracing the issues of fact
and matter to go to trial upon will
not be submitted until May 28. The
last answers will constitute the meat
of the proposition in behalf of the
State, the first mentioned being
merely formal court documents of
demurrer and denial. The defense
has demanded trial by jury.
The Attorney General’s depart-
ment has received a number °f let-
ters and some telegrams approving
their course in the matter, most of
which came from the cattle-raising
portion of the State in the West and
Southwest. One telegram read:
“Stockmen indorse your action.
Can we assist you with counsel at
our expense?”
Owing to the absence of Attorney
General Davidson the letters and tel-
egrams are not made public, nor the
point of address and signature to the
telegram quoted.
