Delahoussaye, late secretary-treasurer of that institution, a member of the Hoard of Administrators called me up over the phone and asked if I would accept the i position. This came to rae as a piete surprise, as I had never given the matter a thought. I replied that I mould think it over and let him know. Later in the day I called upon him at place of business and told him that, in the event the board considered me, he was at liberty to state that I would accept the position, but that 1 would not make anv tern" a I application therefor: neither 1 would I become a candidate in the sense of soliciting support. "The foiioming day another member of the board rang me up and requested that I call upon him.

which I did, and al this conversation I reiterated my position as previously stated, and declined to become a candidate by signing any application or making any effort for the position. "A number of my friends did interest themselves in r.iv behalf, but my attitude all along m-as that I was not a candidate and that I xrould make no effort to secure the place, but that in the event the beard selected me I would accept and serve to the best of my ability."

Mr. Earl said that it is possible that it will not amount to much after all.

After the conference with the ee executlve committee, Mr. Godchaux gave out a statement embodying his view of the sit uation. 1 he statement reflects tne opinion of the cane sugar interests.

It is understood. MR. GODCHAUX'S STATEMENT. The statement folloms: "We regret that after having spent five meeks at the nation's capital, we can bring little good news to our people as to what mill be the outcome of the sugar battle now aging between the House, the 1 "resident and the seaboard refiner or the one side, and the Senate, the consumers and tbe domestic producers on the other. "The President has not taken- his pre-convetition friends into his confidence, and me are unable to state the reason for his so very active campaign against the cane and beet growers, lie has established new rules of legislation, and promises, campaign speecne.

and interviews now count for nauEht. He has practically usurped the legislative functions of the goxrrnment and the taritf bill must be the bill as from the While Houee typewriter. Evidence can be procured that will show that the majority of the Finance Committee of the Senate are not and have never, during the.r respective puo-lic service, been in favor of free sugar, yet mith the combination of President Wilson's patronage club and 'King Caucus' the odds are against the common people Ihe President's political record with -Senator Smith of New Jersey and with ex-i-enator smith of New Jersey George Harvey of Harper's Weeklv seems to give us good reasons to suppose that his preconvention backers suould have secured more binding agreement than the promises of a candidate for political preference before the people. Not with the power of patronage and caucus, the President in order to make success doubly sure has sprung a political maneuver in the way of lobby investigation that to the fair-minded could be either classed as Intimidation or bold effrontery, "That there is no such lebby at work in Washington has been proved to dale by the Investigation now pending, in so far as thsugar growers are concerned. Lobbying to no small extent has been going on through the efforts of refining in-lt rests under the false colors of the mholeaale grocers' committee and we feel confident that mhen their propaganda shall have been investigated by the lobby in vestiitating committee, the Insidious lobby be found supporting the President and the cause of the renning irterests againxt the domestic producers.

Several Addresses Made by Prominent Men la Whica the Conditions Are Outlined. Commissioner of Finance Ricks told the members of the Tenement House Board, that called to confer with the Commission-Council Friday, that the city has not the runds available to pay for four inspectors of the tenements. The conference was held shortly after noon in the Counc.l chamber. Gayle Aiken. Jr.

chairman of the board, and members of the board made an earnest plea for better eriforee-m-nt of the tenement house laws, and urged that the Council appoint at once four inspectors, and also lender-d th services of volunteer inspectors to assist in the work. R. M. Walmsley was the first speaker. He said he had made a study of the ilia resulting from crowded tenen-nts.

ami considered it a very important suhjei-t tn every city. He said that the dwellers irt tenements were a class that could n-n well apeak for themselves, and therefore it was necessary for others to speak la their behalf. CONDITIONS or POOR. Harry Howard declared that condition of the poor laboring: man might be mucfi better. He said that the on.1u.ons of tenements was an important matter In the.

fight to eliminate tuberculosis. The ordinances that exist are not being enforced; dozens of families are crowded In hovels like sheep; the poor are lacking In educa. Hon even as to how to care for them, selves, and If they could be educated it would be better for the city as a whole, he declared. "It Is the right of these people to be decently housed and clothed. The city ims mu inspectors and older inspectors, and should have tenement.

1 said Mr. Howard. Gayle Aiken. declared that ii urging enforcement of tenement laws it was not done only from a philanthropic standpoint, but a standpoint of busmen. Remedial action now will save us from, dangers in the fu ture.

It la fortunate, he said, that the city has not yet contend with the difficulties that other cities have had to mt. The fundamental condition of the laborers of a ci'y is of vast importance to ail. Pad conditions exist, and remedial action as well as educational, is needed. NEGRO "RANCHES." Mr. Aiken told of the negro "ranches.

as he termed them. In back lots, wttn ill ventilated rooms and Insufficient sanitary conveniences. He said that landlords came down to the City Hall and In applying for permits swear the. hmia, for only two families when they may used by a half a doaen. Mr.

Aiken stt that if the Council had time be coal lake them to a number of places where there are flagrant ordinance violations. He said there are about 200 suuares of tenements In New Orleans where inhabitants were packed In to secure to the landlords tbe largest returns for th smallest Investments. Mr. Aiken prophesied that these unregulated conditions would cost the city more in the end tnan any expense of- inspection and enforce ment of the laws now. He sM that the Child Welfare League had offered to fur-, nlsh seven volunteer Inspectors, and th Ixiuisiana Anti-Tuberculosis League five.

He said the present laws are not drama enough, and inspectors are nee'ted. Atlanta has nine Inspectors. Savannah twelve, and Htrmincham thirteen, and the board only asked for four for New Orleans. Dr. A.

I. Well of the Louisiana Antl-Tuberculosle League told of the Importance of regulation of tenements In the fight against tuberculosis. Every step taken In this direction may save a life, he said. Dr. Weil suggested that the district nurses of the league mirht be au-.

thorlzed to act as Inspectors. Commissioner Ricks replied that the city finances are very low and ail the in- spectors It could afford are employed." He said there were not enough Ir-spectors In the department of the t'lty Engineer, and he would like to double the nuixther if the funds permitted. He said he was surprised to hear that the law is not boing enforced, as he had Just been told. Mr. Ricks promised that the a would do all It could In the matter.

He said he had been advised by the CH Attorney that the Inspection of tenements Is large in the province of the Ct Board of Health. Mr. Aiken replied that he had consulted Dr. O'Reilly several times and It. O'Kellly was well aware of He sail that the three Inspectors In I he City Engineer's department are busy on new buildings.

tie said that It was urgent that inspections be made now to prevent danger in the future. Mr. Aiken commended th suggestion to have the district nurses of the league given authority to report violations of the law. City Attorney Moore advised that tbe City Board of Health had the authority to confer such authority. Bestdes those who spoke In the meeting Commissioners Lafaye and Thompson were present, and Dr.

M. A. Aldrich and Major Allison Owen of the Tenement Board. 10 9 TENEMENT II CONSTABLE CONFRONTED WITH REVOLVER WHEN HE BREAKS IN WOMAN'S DOOR A faulty cartridge in a pistol, held by an irate woman close to his head, saved the life of George Kobolt. constable of the Second City Court.

Algiers, on Friday. When the trigger snapped. Kobolt was looking into the muzxle of the weapon. Capt. Charles Buhler and a negro, Will Smith, who were in the employ of Kobolt, mitnessed the affair.
