louis Is to Be Retired.

Washington: NJ. A. w. Louis, SUI
perintendent of the Division of Post
Office Supplies, is slated for retire
ment, it is stated. Postmaster Gen
eral Payne is said to have definitely
determined on this course. The
charge against Louis is that he bought
canceling ink in such quantities as
to provide post offices the country
over for from three to ten years in
advance; also that he paid 80 cents
a pound for ink when the market
quoted it at from 90 to "a cents.
Louis is a relic of the Heath regime.
He was with General Heath when the
latter published a paper in Cincinnati,
and was brought here from Cincinnati
after General Heath had been appoint
ed First Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral. His conduct of his office, with
the exception pointed out. is said TO
have been above criticism, and his
friends, believe in his integrity.

Atlanta, Ca: The Georgia Prison
Commission, which has been investi-
eating the whipping of Mamie Decrls.
a white woman convict on the State
Prison farm, made its report Saturday,
With the report came the announce
ment of the resignation of Warden
Allagood and acceptance by the COM
mission The charges of improper
proposals by Allagood, alleged by the
woman, and similar conduct towards
other female convicts are found to be
absolutely false and malicious" The
report says the Warden acted entire
ly within his authority in whipping
Miss Decris and that he was led to it
by severe aggravation. The commits
sion concluded that this particular
punishment was an "error on the part
of the Warden. who, recognizing that
his usefulness may have been impair
ed by reason of the prejudice against
him caused by the Deoris affair, has
voluntarily handed in his resignation.

Canadian Cutter Fires
on American Boat
Tries to Ram Her After Giving
an Order to Halt

Erie, Pa. The Silver Spray, a fish
ing boat owned here, came into port
Wednesday afternoon in a badly shat
tered condition, due to an encounter
in midlake about noon with the Canad-
ian revenue cutter Petrol. The Can
adam authorities have had trouble for
years with American fishermen who
were poaching on their side of the
lake, and the Petrol is kept constantly
on the lookout for them.
At noon she came upon the Silver
Spray on the Canadian side of the
lake. and at once ordered Capt. Chris
Chau to stop. The Petrol is a strong
steel craft, and it is said attempted to
ram the American boat before she
could comply with the order to stop
Captain Chau decided to attempt to
escape, and started ahead at full
speed The Petrol then opened fire
with all her guns, ana ABOUT 20 shots
struck the Silver Spray. Two shots
struck the pilot house, in which Cap
tain Chau stood at the wheel. One
shot came within few inches of
Chau, scattering a myriad of splinters
around his head.
Captain Chau will report ,ne affair
to the State Department at Washing
ton, as he says he was only looking
for some of his nets which had drifted
from this side toward the Canadian
shore,
