The Gazette believes that it is
perfectly commendable in the
Hon. Aladdin Vincent that he
should stand up for the rights of
the bare footed boy, the farmer
who cOnfrOnts the inesthetic
end of a mule on the red hills of
north Louisiana in the hot July
sun and the Calcasieu man who
is waist-deep in the water of
the rice fields and all that sort of
thingS-we believe all that is
eminently proper. 1t denotes
sense of profound sympathy for
the toiling masses, but Mr.. Vim
cent should not allow his con-
suming love for humanity to lead
him astray-to strike blow at
our colleges. Comparatively
speaking, and considering the
services which the State schools
have rendered to the people, the
amount of money appropriated
by the State for their mainte-
nance has been very small. In
some branches of the public ser
vice there may have been eXtrava
gance, but we believe that a com
parison with other States will
show that Louisiana has not
spent one cent too much for it's
institutions of learning. 1t is
conceded that more money is
needed for the primary schools,
but it would be supreme folly to
impair the system of public edu-
cation in this State byinadequate
support of the colleges. The
bulk OF the revenues for the pri-
mary schools must come from
local sources. The colleges must
look to the State and nowhere
else for support.
An esteemed contemporary
tells us that the coronation is a
barren spectacle without a
shadow of meaning in these
days" 1t may be so in England,
but Judging by the vast amount
of space given to the event by
the American newspapers it
seems to be cutting quite a figure
in the United States. The large
dailieS are giving more space to
the coronation than they have
ever given to the inaugural cere-
mOny of any one of our presi-
dents.
The Supreme Court of the
State has reversed the decision
of the Calcasieu court in the case
of A. e. Batson, convicted of
murder and under sentence of
death. The verdict has been
set aside for technical reasons,
the district Judge having erred
in some of his decisions during
the trial. This will give Batson
another trial.
THE Americanizing of our
Industries proceeds apace, says
the London Chornicle. THE
next interest threatened is the
London omnibus. Anyone pro-
ceeding along Holborn yesterday,
about noon would have seen a
motor bus pass. 1t contained
the directors of one of the lead
ing bus companies making a
trial trip on the latest American
importation. 1t is prOblematical
whether the directors felt quite
comfortable, despite the luxu
riOuS nature of the conveyance,
as it is understood that unless
the company gives a large order
the American syndicate will itself
proceed to place these motors
on the London streets.

There are no inns along the high.
ways Of India. as the average reader
has probably been told before, but the
traveller seeking rest and refreshment
turns into one OF iue free bungalows
provided by the government. He finds
cooking utensils, dishes and bunk,
md there is generally 4 native care
taker. The rule Of the read is that no
traveller stops longer tha4 over night
except in case of sickness or accident.
Few Of the bungalows have doors or
windows, and unless i'll the height of
the rainy season no blankets are hung
up at the openings.
1t was in a bungalow on the highway
between the towns of Rampore and
Fagrah, in the province of Bengal, that
Sir Edward Potter, an English tourist
doing India, met a tragic fate. \ party
of six had arrived at the bungalow an
hour before dark. When supper had
been prepared and eaten, the @cntle-
men smoked and chatted for a couple
Of hours and then lay down on the ve
randa to Slecp-that is. five of them did,
while Sir Edward had a bed made up
for him il the large room. The near
est jungle WAS Il mile away. and as the
grounds had been beaten over for ser
pents no one felt any fears as he made
ready for Sleep. II WAS a starlight
night, With everything quiet, and all

got to their feet they hcheld an enor-

The tiger had stolen out of the near

of the bungalow before seiZing the vic

fered him an easy victim, but he pass
ed them by He made his way between
two of them and entered the room by 4

Tot rattle the beast in the least. With
Il twist of his head hv threw the man
over on his back and went of ut lei
surely pace, and he was neither fired
for fear of killing the man. and to have
pursued the tiger into the jungle would
have been foolishness. AS none OF the
party was tiger hunter ther" was
nothing to do but resume their journey
and give notice at the next post OF
what had occurred. They had scarcely
left the bungalow when Il man named
Reed arrived there. He was an Amer

from New York after tiger skins. In

had taken beartrapS. Landing in Cal

up to the tiger country to do business
He wasn't blowing his horn very much
as he knew that every EngliShman III
India would look upon him with con

trapping tigers he meant to send home

Manila, July 24.-Ihe court-martial of
Lieutenant Edwin A. Hickman OF the First

pond two natives of Laybias because they
refused to guide him to the stronghold of
the insurgent leader, Caballes, and with
having ducked third native, who died
from maltrcatment, has been concluded
after two brief sittings, and Lieutenant
Hickman is believed to have beer ac-
Quilted
The defense admitted all the spcci6ca-
tions in the first charge, taking exception
only to the word unlawful and pleaded
justification under general order 100 and
the condition prevailing in Labas prov
ince. The defense also produced a telc-
graphic order from General Chaffee, urg-
ing the location of Caballcs, regardless of
the masure necessary to do so. I he de-
fense disclaimed any desire to shift the
responsibility and said the telegram pro-
duced showed the urgent necessity for To-
eating Caballcs.
Lieutenant Hickman testified regarding
the charge that he had caused the death
of third native and sad that witnesses
at the Gardiner inquiry testified that this
man died from injuries, that he was not
ducked and that he was not molcs,ed. The
prosecution regarded the latter charge
as being unworthy Of credencc.
Colonel Smith, who was witness for
the defense, testified that Major Gardiner

CAPTAIN RoSEHILE NOTIFIED THAT
HE MUST OFFER NO RESISTANCE
TO JAPANESE RESIDENTS.
EXTREMELY DESIRABLE
NO COLLISION OCCUR
Japanese War Ship Carries Message to
the Captain and It Is Believed That
Passengers and CooIes-Both Are
After Guano Deposits.
[BY ASSOCIATED PREss.1

Washington, July a4.-The Japanese
government has served notice on the state
department that it claims possession of
Marcus island, toward which is now head
ing an American expedition under Captain
Rosehill with a purpose of exhausting its
guano deposits.
Regarding it as extremely desirable that
no collision occur, the state department.
has taken measures to advise Captain Rose
hill that he must offer no resistance If he
should fall in with Japanese warship
which is also speeding for the island.
Captain Rosehill landed on this island
about 10 years ago. He posted notice
setting forth his claims to the island and
hosted the United States flag. Then he
sailed away from the island, leaving it
unoccupied, a fact which may vitiate his
title.
OF these facts he informed the treasury
department, but he neglected for many
years to file in the treasury department the
bond required by the guano laws of the
island in fact, this bond was only filed
within the last year. Meanwhile, finding
a deserted island, some Japanese landed
and began to take away the guano. There
are believed to be two score of them now
on the island, and the Japanese government
holds that their title is good The Jap
ancse warship carries the message from this
government to Rosehill, advising him to
offer no resistance and as it will probably
reach Marcus island, distance only 1000
miles from Yokohama, before the Rosehill
schooner, which sailed from Honolulu, 1000
miles distant, it is believed that there will
be no clash between the schooner's passen-
gers and the Japanese coolies on the island.

The first victim was shot and killed in

Both whites and negroes are enraged and

The trouble grew out of yesterdays mur-
