of Lafayette parish upon which
he had drawn circle with a
radius of six miles with Lafay-
cite at the center. In con-
vincing manner he demonstrated
that over one half the children of
this parish are within reach of
the town schools and Industrial
school, making it possible for
them to attend and return each
day by the employment of a con-
veyance, which could possibly be
secured at a cost of 81. 90 to So
to each pupil monthly. Com
munlties in different States fol-
lowed this plan and were well
satisfied. Supt. Alleman's
speech was a sensible, practical
presentation of the subject and
was suggestive of careful
thought.
The CarencrO school was re-
presented by eight pupils, Daisy
BrOussard, Fleetie Blakely,
Edward Alleman. Claud Brous-
sard, Joseph Breaux, Tarleton
LESLEY, Walter BrOussard and
Gabriel Gilbert. whom Prof.
Young called to the stage and
introduced as promoted to the
Industrial school, in a nice COM
plimentary speech. He also
made an interesting talk in which
he spoke highly of the Industrial
school and it's potentiality for
good in the community. His re-
marks frequently evoked ap-
plause.
A number of Industrial school
girls then entertained the aud
ience with a song. They were
dressed to represent the girls at
noon recess and their song illus
trated one Of the ways they
amuse themselves at that hour.
The audience enjoyed the illus
tration so thoroughly that moth
ing less than an encore would
satisfy them. Hon. J. Gilbert
St. Julien was next introduced
by DR.. Stephens IN a few well
chosen words Mr.. St. Julien
spoke in French. He expressed
himself very much a friend of
education, and also promised his
aid for the schools. His remarks
were we'll received and a number
of his utterances brought vigor-
GUS applause. DR.. Stephens
after expressing his apprecia-
tiOn of the large audience, of the
attendance of the various schools
and the enthusiasm of all, an
nOunced that the teachers were
requested to meet in the class
room opposite his Office, after the
inspection of the school, and
form a pedagogic society for the
purpose of advancing the schools
of the parish. He invited the
audience to visit the dormitory
and the school departments, all
of which were in operation
specially for the occasion.
The little tots of the kinder
garten then occupied the stage
and sang a cute little song in a
cute little way, which closed the
program.
At the request of DR.. Stephens
all present assembled on the
south side of the dOrmitOry and
let the Institute Camera Club
take a shot at them. The dOrmi-
tory was then inspected. Every
thing was q model of neatness
and the girls rooms were charm
ing, many being most artistically
decorated and looking as cosy as

main Out and 42O 20 Go 20 Work.
Call Was 10 Vote Upon the aues-
tion of Returning 60 Work for The

Operators Are willing to Pay.
Fan River. Mass, Dec. sO.-The la
Dor unions involved since last July in
strike against a l21z per cent reduc-
tion In wages In the cotton mills or
the city to-day. by vote of approxi-
mately to /. approved a continuance
of the contest. The vote OF the unions
was i,4Ol for and 42O against continuing
the strike.
The call for meetings OF the unions
TO vote on a continuance of the con-
test was prompted by agitation of the
question whether the employees should
return to work for the winter under
the reduction and renew the strike
later II wages were not advanced. II
was also stated in mill circles that the
majority OF the union men were ready
to return to work, but that the leaders
were keeping them from doing so. Ac-
cordingly, 1t was decided TO submit
the question to a vote to-day. with
the result that in a total OF 1921 bal
lots cast, there was majority Of 97i
in favor Of continuing
This was the first formal vote on the
question taken since the action Of tho
unions In July inaugurating the strike.
The result is a general disappolnt-
nent TO business men, who had hoped
for an ending Of the trouble. There
is still some question as TO what ex-
tent II will be considered binding by
the great body of non-union help. There
Is believed TO be some possibility that
the unorganlzed operatives may gradu-
ally go back and thus slowly end the
strike.

Was Confessed by Boy Nineteen
Years Old.
Little Rock, Ark, Dec. 30.-A special
to the Gazette from Newport says:
Before the coroner's jury investigat-
ing the murder of Mrs. Amelia Maud
lin, Newton Allwhite, a 19-year-old
boy, to-day confessed to being a party
to the outrage and murder of the wom-
an and her mother. whose body, he
says, was thrown into White river near
the scene of the Christmas crime on
the Jackson Port road
THE boy duplicates his father, Louis
Allwhite, aged 43 years, who says he
first shot the girl and then the mother.
He declares he was told by his parent to
fire the second shot, which killed the
young woman, and together they car
ried Mrs. Kinkannon's body to the
river and were returning to the scene
of the crime to make similar disposal
Of the other body when some people
we're seen coming down the road.
"The elder Allwhite maintains his in-
nocence, and, together with relatives,
testified to a story duplicating Arthur
Bunch and Walter Burgess, white
farmers, but these men were able to
prove alibis."

SO.-Rihlung fort, captured yesterday,
is the largest and strongest of the
eastern fort ridge.
Tunnels for mines were cut through
solid rock and two tons of dynamite
were used to blow UP the walls. The
spectacle was magnificent and the
work of the assaulters was splendid.
Half the garrison was killed by the
explosion of the first charge. The re-
mainder of the Russians made a stub
born resistance.
Four heavy guns, seven rapid firing
guns and two machine guns were cap
tured, as well as thirty quick firing
guns, which were stored in the fort.

JAPANESE WENT WILD
OVER ADMIRAL HEROES.
Aoeo and Kamimura Hailed With
Delight at Toxic.


TOXIC Dec. 80, II a. m.-Admiral
4ogo and Vice Admiral Kamimura
with their staffs arrived at the SHIN
passy station to-day. Their Journey
from kure to Toxic was a continuous
ovation. The city was gaily decorated
with fags, lanterns and New Year s
decorations.
The quiet gray bearded Admiral
Togo in blue service uniform SEEM
ed embarrassed at the noisy ovation.
Rear Admiral Shimamura, chief of
staH laughingly elbowed forward Vice
Admiral Kamimura. The junior off,
GERS tried to clear the way, but the
crowd closed in on Admiral Togo and
they were frequently forced to push
the crowd backward in an endeavor to
clear the reaching hands,
Finally Admiral Togo and Admiral
Kamimura were freed from their en-
thusiastic admirers and surrounded by
officers they reached the carriage sent
by the Emperor to the station to con-
vey the distinguished party to the
palace.
AS Admiral Togo appeared a great
shout arose, hats were thrown in the
air, arms were raised and "banzai'
followed "banzai"
Admiral Togo and Vice Admiral
Kamimura will probably remain in
Toxic about one week for the purpose
of consulting with the general staff
and perfecting plans for future opera
tions.

WAS INTIMIDATION
IN THE TALBOT CASE.
Noble Says Signers of Presentment
Were Forced to Repudiate.


We're Forced to Repudiate.
Philadelphia, Dec. SO-Herbert Noble
of New York, one of the leading fig
ures in the controversy between Bish-
op Talbot and DR.. 1. N. w. Irvine,
who held a secret conference here to-
day on the case. said tonight that in
timidation had been practiced in get
ting the Huntingdon signers to repudi-
ate the presentment against the
Bishop.
THE friends of Bishop Talbot he
said, had an agent at work, and we
know who this agent is. We have
had detectives on the case, and to-mor-
row we will make a statement and
disclose all the facts to the public.
I'VE know this agent has done his
best to break the power of the present
ment, and these populations are the
result.
Even If the Huntingdon signers do
insist upon repndiating the present
ment, it will not invalidate the in
strument, which even then would have
more signers than are necessary"
Opinion is still divided as to whether
the board of inquiry, owing to new
canon going into effect on Jan. 1. will
have the right to take up the case. 1t
is now believed that nothing will be
done until the board meets on Jan. 10,
when the members of that body will
themselves decide the question.
Bishop Talbot held a conference to-
day at Sunbury, Pa, with Col. c. M
Clement, who is an attorney, and who
has been close to the Bishop all
through the trouble he has had with
DR.. Irvine. After the conference Bish-
op Talbot would not talk. All that
Col. Clement would say was: AT
present l have nothing to say. but !
may be able to give out statement a
little later

senator Teller Is Not to Lose His
Head. 1t Seems.
Denver, Col. Dec 30-Stretching its
hand so as to cast a shadow over every
man and woman in any way implicated
in election frauds of the city and coun-
ty of Denver on or before. or after
Nov. s, the Supreme Court to-day or
dered an investigation so sweeping in
its scope that every phase of the cleo
tion may be scrutinized and every
thing that bears in any way upon it
may be made known by judicial in
quiry.
Alva Adams, Democratic candidate
for Governor, who appeared from the
returns to be elected, but who de-
clared that he does not want the office
tainted with fraud, asked the court to
open ever Denver ballot box, but the
mere examination of the ballots, and
provides for an investigation of the
registration list, the campaign ex-
penditures and, in brief, all election
matters.
Attorney Samuel w. Bedford, for
Adams, and Attorney Henry ]. Her
sey, for the Republicans, asked the
court to make its order of such breadth
that the court need not stop at any
thing in the investigation. The court
said that was what it had meant to
do and instructed the lawyers to agree
upon the wording of the order and
present it to the court for approval
next Tuesday.
Job of Months.
AS there are 204 ballot boxes, it is
evident that several months win be
consumed in the examination of their
contents by the two handwriting ex-
perts who have been appointed for
this work. 1t is expected that the
court will be asked to make an order
placing special watchers at the Court
House to guard the registration books
until such time as the investigation is
made.
F. A. Williams. chairman of the Re-
publican Committee, has published the
following statement over his sigma
ture
Our investigation into the conduct
of the recent election in Denver has
developed the fact that approximately
10000 fraudulent votes were cast or
counted for Adams in this city. There
is now no reasonable doubt that Gov
Peabody and the entire Republican
state ticket was fairly elected on Nov.
by the votes of a large majority of
the legal voters in this state"
Republicans as well as Democrats
admit that the opening of all the Den
yer boxes complicates the political
situation in Colorado, but believe that
it means there will be no serious
trouble, as predicted.
Won't Trouble Teller.
It was announced late to-day that
the Republican plan to unseat DEM
ocratic senators had been modified.
and that possibly only Senators Borne
and Healey, who were seated by the
Democratic majority on contests two
years ago, would be turned out.
1t also reported that on the advice
of influential Republicans the proposi-
ton to memorialize the United States
Senate to unseat Senator Teller would
be abandoned.
